2 listed races this evening in Tipperary

The cards at today´s 6 British meetings are nothing special, but there is better racing in Ireland, with two listed races this evening at Tipperary. Rain Delayed (Ger Lyons/ Keagan Latham) carries top weight in the 5 furlongs race at 19.05 CET, while Invincible Ash (Mike Halford/ Gary Carroll) seems much improved and has won his last two races, both over 6 furlongs. Under the circumstances Sole Power (Eddie Lynam/ Pat Smullen), who has been running wthout much success in much better races, gets the vote. Aidan O´Brien has won the last two runnings of the 71/2 furlongs event for 2yo´s at 19.10, and saddles two runners with stable jockey Johnny Murtagh on Jackaroo, a beaten favorite last time at Royal Ascot; he can recover those losses now, although Kevin Prendergast´s Snow Watch (Declan McDonough) could be a big danger. There is N.H. racing at Wexford, where we expect Fosters Cross (Tom Mullins/ Davy Russell) to win the chase at 20.30; he had no chance in the big hurdles race at Galway last week, but this looks much easier and he also has decent form over fences.

The best horse running in the UK today is Godolphin´s Chabal (Saeed bin Suroor/ Ted Durcan), who faces 5 opponents in the 10 furlongs conditions race for 3yo´s at 20.50 at Newmarket this evening. He was an easy winner of the Sandown Classic Trial (tho´ subsequently disqualified) before starting favourite for the Dante. He flopped there behind Cape Blanco, but that form is probably still good enough. Smart handicapper Wigmore Hall (Michael Bell/ Jamie Spencer) is next best, although Champagne Style (Brian Meehan/ William Buick), who went all over the place at Ascot last time, can be expected to run much better now fitted with first-time blinkers.
