Timeform Irish 1-2-3 Tips: Rory Anna can score at Limerick

001 Tipping

"A career-best effort on the Flat since should have her (Rory Anna) spot on for this and a bare 2m on a sharp track like this looks ideal".

Some quality racing both over the sticks and on the level in Ireland this Sunday and we select the three best bets

The 14.55 is a competitive sprint handicap but there were times last season when a low draw looked an advantage at the Curragh and Jedward, who is berthed in stall 1, has already shown that she possesses the speed to make use of such a draw. Charles O'Brien's filly impressed when beating Nidian in a maiden at Navan when last seen and a mark of just 73 looks lenient.

Rory Anna (15.10) has already been successful on two of her five starts over hurdles and she looks to have excellent claims of adding to her tally of wins in this minor event. She maintained her progress back at 2m last time with a good second behind Arklow Ger in a handicap at Naas, again travelling strongly for a long way. A career-best effort on the Flat since should have her spot on for this and a bare 2m on a sharp track like this looks ideal.

Dermot Weld's Notable Graduate (16.30) could prove a class apart in the second maiden on the Curragh card as only inexperience prevented him taking the scalp of subsequent listed winner Tiz The Shot (pair clear) on his sole 2-y-o start. From an excellent family, Notable Graduate holds a Derby entry at this stage and it will be bitterly disappointing if he can't take this en route to much better things.

Recommendations

back Jedward win and place @ [9.0] in the 14.55 at the Curragh
back Rory Anna @ [6.0] in the 15.10 at Limerick
back Notable Graduate @ [2.8] in the 16.30 at the Curragh

Follow The Money: This Torres can score

Will Striker Torres pull off another all-weather win?

Will Striker Torres pull off another all-weather win?

"Striker Torres has a favourable inside draw in this which should help him get to the head of affairs. The application of cheekpieces instead of the usual visor will hopefully see him settle much better than in his last outing."

Today's Follow The Money movers come from the meetings at Bangor and Wolverhampton.

In the opening 14:20 Novice Hurdle at Bangor, Bellaboosh has drifted alarmingly in the betting out to [4.2] from [2.86].

Nicky Henderson's well-bred 5yo mare may well be talented but looks to be in need of some experience before fulfilling her potential. She disappointed in her second bumper at Taunton last month and this is her first attempt over hurdles, her main market rival is a polished winner of two recent races.

Moving across to Wolverhampton and in the 16:30 6f Handicap Far View has been backed dramatically in to [2.62] from an earlier [3.6]. This 4yo now resides in George Baker's yard and seems revitalised under his new handler. The gelding did particularly well to win from the front last time at Lingfield from an awkward wide draw and looks capable of defying a penalty today. The inside stall here should be much more to his liking and assuming he can race prominently again he could have too much for his moderate rivals. 7lb claiming rider David Kenny lightens the load significantly and has managed a couple of All-Weather winners in the last fortnight.

We stay at Wolverhampton for the final selection, where in the 17:30 7f Handicap Striker Torres has been well supported into [6.2] from [8.27]. Geoffrey Oldroyd's 5yo is another front-running sort who posted a useful 2nd over course and distance at the end of January. The gelding has a favourable inside draw in this which should help him get to the head of affairs. The application of cheekpieces instead of the usual visor will hopefully see him settle much better than in his last outing when far too much energy was wasted in the early stages.

Recommended Bets:
Lay Bellaboosh @ [4.40] Bangor 14:20
Back Far View @ [2.62] Wolverhampton 16:30
Back Striker Torres @ [6.20] Wolverhampton 17:30
