My picks for Wexford Friday

·

16:10 Wexford Fri 31 Mar 2m4f Mdn Hrd

  1. Free Flowing (IRE) – Showed great potential in his recent Thurles maiden hurdle and has a strong chance if he can reproduce that performance.
  2. Demandrivingdouvan (IRE) – Point/bumper winner with encouraging hurdles form; has potential to improve further and is one to consider for a new yard.
  3. Ik’s Man (FR) – Some creditable performances in previous hurdle races; if he can overcome jumping issues, he has a chance to be in the mix.

16:40 Wexford Fri 31 Mar 2m4f Mdn Hrd

  1. Emily Roebling (IRE) – With consistent performances and placing in 10 of 15 hurdle attempts, Emily Roebling has a strong chance of placing in this race. She has shown great determination and will likely give another bold show.
  2. Music Of Tara – Although still a maiden after 7 hurdle runs, Music Of Tara has shown improvement in recent races, including good second-place finishes at Leopardstown and Navan. Despite not being a fluent jumper, she has a strong chance here in the maiden company.
  3. Desert Heather (IRE) – Desert Heather has proven to be a fair hurdler, placing in all three completed maiden hurdle runs, particularly her recent performance at Limerick. With the addition of a tongue strap for the first time, she could have a strong chance of being in the mix for a top spot.

17:10 Wexford Fri 31 Mar 3m Nov Hrd

  1. Hardy Bloke (FR) – He ran a strong race at a valuable handicap in Leopardstown last month, and the subsequent Haydock form was well-advertised. This race is a significant drop in class for him, providing a great opportunity to get off the mark. His recent performances and solid claims make him a top contender.
  2. Pure Sirloin (IRE) – A promising type who won over 2m4f on handicap debut at Navan in January and showed determination when stepped up to this trip at Leopardstown. There’s potential for improvement and he could very well put up a strong performance in this race.
  3. Jumping Jet (IRE) – A fairly useful hurdler who had a career-best performance when winning a 10-runner novice hurdle at Leopardstown 26 days ago. He’s likely to continue giving a good account of himself and can be expected to be competitive in this race.

17:40 Wexford Fri 31 Mar 2m4f Nov Hcap Chs

  1. Mylestown Upper (FR) – Showed great potential with a career-best performance in winning a 15-runner novice chase at Thurles. Making his handicap chase debut, he has room for more improvement, making him a strong contender for this race.
  2. Brideswell Lad (IRE) – A C&D winner with a proven track record, Brideswell Lad is shortlist material from his current mark. Despite an unseated rider incident in his last race at Leopardstown, he was in control and had the race at his mercy. With better luck this time, he can be a serious challenger.
  3. Baldur’s Gate (IRE) – This lightly-raced maiden showed much improvement on his second start in handicaps when ridden by Blackmore at Thurles. With only a 3lb higher rating for his second-place finish out of 13 over slightly further on soft ground, a repeat performance should put him in the mix for the top 3

18:10 Wexford Fri 31 Mar 2m4f Hcap Chs

  1. Glamorgan Duke (IRE): Despite a poor performance at Cheltenham, he has shown good form at Leopardstown and should find this competition easier. If he handles the sharper track, he has a strong chance.
  2. Charlie Stout (IRE): His form has been consistent, with creditable efforts in recent races. With a reduced mark and a good 7lb claimer on board, he could be a major contender.
  3. R’evelyn Pleasure (IRE): Last year’s winner, R’evelyn Pleasure will need to step up on recent efforts but is back to the same mark as last year’s victory. The switch to blinkers may help improve performance.

18:40 Wexford Fri 31 Mar 3m1f Hcap Chs

  1. Aodhan May (IRE) – Despite being hampered in her last start, Aodhan May’s strong performance at Down Royal suggests she could be a major player in this race. The step up in trip might work in her favor, and she has definite claims.
  2. Fox Le Bel (FR) – With several solid efforts in handicap hurdles and a recent third-place finish at Clonmel, Fox Le Bel has proven to be competitive. Though not the most fluent jumper of fences, he has the potential to be in the mix for the top spots.
  3. Finnians Row (IRE) – Finnians Row has been running consistently well in recent 2m4f handicap chases and seems ready for a longer trip. His performance at the venue earlier this month supports the notion that he could be a contender in this race.

19:10 Wexford Fri 31 Mar 3m1f Hcap Chs

  1. Birdie Blitz (IRE) – With 2 wins in 3 handicap hurdle starts this season and a potentially advantageous handicap chase debut off a lower mark, Birdie Blitz stands out as a strong contender in this race. Stamina and the addition of cheekpieces should work in her favor.
  2. Made In The Woods (IRE) – Made In The Woods displayed a career-best performance when winning a 12-runner handicap chase at Limerick recently, and conditions remain in his favor. Despite an 8lb rise in weight, he should run a competitive race and is expected to be in the mix.
  3. Mahler Appeal (IRE) – Mahler Appeal had a promising chasing debut when finishing third to Made In The Woods over this trip at Limerick 19 days ago. With cheekpieces now fitted, he should be in contention and is worth considering for the top spots.
