Our daily tipster brings two selections to the table this Bank Holiday, with selections over in Ireland...
"The 9yo mare is a summer horse, so it's best ignoring her three previous efforts where she was beaten by 27L, 66L and 20L."
Demi can dance to win
19:00 Punchestown - Back Demi Plie
Demi Plie looks to have a good opportunity tonight to exploit a lower hurdles' mark, and can justify her price at the top of the betting for the 19:00.
Running in the green and gold of JP McManus, regular pilot Aine O'Connor knows her well with her 5lb claim. Indeed, she has executed front-running tactics before on this mare, and I think they suit.
Her second to Elimay at Fairyhouse over fences is the best form on offer here as that was a career best, and her rating of 113 looks a stand-out.
Raise a glass to Slainte
20:00 Punchestown - Back Slainte And Thanks
Garrett Ahern has had a winner in the last two weeks, and that's from a solitary runner sent out. Few in this handicap can boast a 100% strike-rate!
This is a tough race with 25 runners so I would recommend playing an each-way double with the earlier selection on split stakes with Slainte And Thanks for the closer.
The 9yo mare is a summer horse, so it's best ignoring her three previous efforts where she was beaten by 27L, 66L and 20L.
These tight tracks seem to suit her, and front-running tactics suit as they worked a treat when she won at Tipperary last summer from a mark of 87. She scored readily in that with a clever ride out wide on occasions, and with a return to a more suitable trip this evening, she can hit the frame.
