Royal Ascot Thursday Tips – Irish NH Tips

This son of No Nay Never has always had a lofty reputation and though he didn't strike at the first time of asking, he couldn't have been any more impressive on his two subsequent starts at Navan and Naas. A stiff five furlongs won't be any issue to him and if he handles the occasion, he will be very difficult to beat. He’s got a good draw and plenty of tactical pace so there's no excuses here. His trainer holds him in extremely high regard, and I find it very hard to see him getting beat.

This filly is short on experience but what she lacks in that department she makes up for in raw ability. She blew me away on debut at Leopardstown before pulling well clear with one who had the run of the race off the front at Navan in a Group 3 since. I felt at Leopardstown I had seen a Group 1 filly, and I stand by that. Her Navan conqueror went on to subsequently be fourth in the Oaks at Epsom, so the form is working out well enough.

The yard is flying and with the experience of her Group 3 second under her belt now she should be ready to take another big step forward and that will be very difficult to beat.

This horse has an exceptional record in this race having won it two years ago and placed again last season. He’s now back on the mark he won the race off in 2023 and you don't have to look too far to find a piece of form that says he's still got what it takes to win a race of this nature.

He won't lack for fitness and with Sean Levey on board over a course and distance he loves, he should be very capable of making his presence felt at a big price. Here's hoping for a big run.
