Horse racing tips: Killarney 8.25
At the 19th time of asking, GREGORINA finally had her day in the sun at Ballinrobe last month, taking advantage of a tumbling mark to win over just shy of 1m 2f. Now she has experienced that winning feeling she can double up in this handicap over an extended 1m 3f.
Once rated in the 60s, Ado McGuinness’s filly filly has been really frustrating but cashed in off a rating of 49 last time. She has gone up 3lb for that narrow win, but it was cosier than the winning margin suggests as she timed her run to perfection to win by a neck.
Given her patient style of running, the draw in stall one here might not be ideal as she is likely to have a wall of horses to pass on a sharp track, but if the gaps come for her she has a big chance to follow up in the hands of Adam Caffrey.
Most of Gregorina’s rivals come here in poor form and although there might be a horse in here running from a lenient mark, she’s a solid yardstick and should not be far away again.
Selection: Gregorina @ 11/2 with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Windsor 7.50
ROGUE ENCORE showed solid form for Tom Clover’s stable before making the switch to Peter Chapple-Hyam's yard, a brilliant third-place finish over a mile at Newcastle in March the highlight.
The three-year-old was behind Group 1-winning sprinter Inisherin that day, with Ribblesdale Stakes third Kalpana only a nose ahead of him in second – and that form looks to be the best on offer here.
That was his last run for Clover and on his first outing for Chapple-Hyam he finished fifth of 12 over 7f at Kempton Park in April.
Rogue Encore returns to a mile today and that should bring about an improvement on what is his handicap debut, while the wind surgery he underwent could also bring with it a much stronger finish.
An opening mark of 77 should also delight connections and there looks to be every chance of him striking at Windsor.
Selection: Rogue Encore @ 3/1 with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Downpatrick 5.30
STOCKDALE recorded the only victory of her 24-race career in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown way back in 2021 so she comes with obvious risks attached. However, she has been knocking the door down in decent races of late and could earn a deserved win in this 2m 6f handicap hurdle.
Trained by Patrick Turley, the mare has filled the runner-up berth three times in 2024: in a 2m 1f handicap hurdle at Down Royal in January (for which she is now 9lb better off at the weights); over 2m 7f in April (1lb worse off now); and in a beginners’ chase here over 3m when last seen.
Sent off favourite on the last occasion and given a very forceful ride from the front, she found only Tullyveery Lad too strong on the turn for home.
Nonetheless, Stockdale ran on well to the line and was well clear of the remaining horses and, now back in handicap company from a nice mark, she should be able to give her running once again in the hands of Alex Harvey.
Selection: Stockdale @ 6/1 with BetMGM
