"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."
Our daily tipster brings two selections to the table this Bank Holiday, with selections over in Ireland...
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.
