Alan Kelly's Tips - Tuesday, 12 May
With the prospect of little rain in the early part of the week, ground on the firm side of good is expected for Tuesday afternoon's three meetings in Britain, Beverley and Bath on the Flat and Hereford over jumps.
3:30pm Beverley - Merlier
Upper Lambourn trainer Archie Watson sends just the one runner to Beverley, the Harry Angel gelding MERLIER for this three-year-old selling contest, one of two mounts on the card for jockey Hollie Doyle. All but one of Merlier’s five starts to date have come on an artificial surface, including wins at Newcastle and Wolverhampton.
Fourth in a Lingfield handicap on his most recent start last month when beaten less than two lengths, the 85-rated gelding should prove up to conceding the weight to his four modest rivals, although John & Sean Quinn’s debutante Tide Runner is worth noting for any market support.
Recommendation: Merlier - 5/4 with bet365
4:35pm Beverley - Coolree
Winner of this race in both 2024 and 2025, the seven-year-old COOLREE is going for a hat-trick of wins in this extended one mile handicap. The first of those wins came off a mark of 66 when trained by Amy Murphy, the Mondialiste gelding previously with Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch in Ireland.
After joining the Lemos De Souza stable last March, Coolree was targeted at this race again, following up off a 4lb lower mark with a victory easier than the winning margin of a length and a quarter would suggest. Joining Sam England towards the end of last year, Oisin Orr’s mount, following a couple of runs on Wolverhampton’s all-weather track, goes into today’s race on the back of a victory over today’s course and distance last week.
A 4lb penalty for that success over favourite Copper And Five looks fair enough and should have put Coolree spot-on for today’s race. The selection is closely matched with another course specialist in Tim Easterby’s Sunny Orange, who is one of several potential dangers along with Adrian Nicholls’ Tees George and the David O’Meara-trained Donna Nook, our selection when narrowly beaten at Ayr last week.
Recommendation: Coolree - 4/1 with bet365
4:45pm Hereford - Ice Jet (Nap)
Champion trainer Dan Skelton sends a couple of horses to Hereford, both with leading claims, hurdling debutante Hidden Fortune in the mares’ novices’ hurdle at 3.38pm and ICE JET (Nap) in this Class 5 handicap over the smaller obstacles, both with brother Harry in the saddle.
The latter, previously with John O’Donoghue in Ireland, showed very little on his first three starts for Skelton before undergoing wind surgery back in November prior to the grey son of Phoenix Of Spain making his handicap debut at Wetherby two months ago.
After making headway to dispute the lead 3 out, Ice Jet lost his position following a bad mistake at the second-last hurdle. Rallying jumping the last, the four-year-old got to within a neck of winner Sweeper System at the line with the third horse home some 6 lengths away.
A rise of 6lb to a mark of 92 is fair enough for a horse who looks sure to be suited by today’s step-up in trip. Most of Ice Jet’s 8 rivals looks quite exposed, best of which is probably Tom Lacey’s Jack Hoola, although Stan Sheppard’s mount has disappointed on his last two starts.
Recommendation: Ice Jet (Nap) - 11/8 with bet365
