6.37 Killarney – BOYLE Sports An Riocht Chase (Grade 3) This looks a race that should be built around the top two on the HRB TimeWise Master, exactly as the strike-rate data suggests. Jesse Evans is Rank 1 on 372.0 and Gentleman De Mee is Rank 2 on 362.1, and I’d be very wary of…

6.17 Windsor – Fitzdares Sprint Series Handicap (6f) This looks a tight Class 3 sprint on paper, but the HRB TimeWise ratings and Comment Shaper narrow the focus considerably. As instructed by the historical strike rates, the analysis should centre around the top two ranked runners: Diligently and Change Sings. Main Selection – DILIGENTLY Clive…

6.07 Killarney – Killarney Oaks Hotel Handicap Hurdle Selection: MY GAFFER (IRE)Confidence: Medium-Strong This looks a typically competitive Killarney handicap hurdle, but the race sets up particularly well for My Gaffer, who heads the HRB TimeWise Master ratings and ticks several key boxes historically associated with winners of this contest.

5.53 Roscommon – Blog Selection This looks the sort of Roscommon 7½f handicap where the winner should come from the top of the HRB stack, and Sun Soldier makes most appeal.

From an HRB TimeWise perspective, the focus should firmly remain with the top two rated horses, as historically the vast majority of maiden hurdle winners emerge from that bracket. Hi…

5.00 Catterick – Racing Again 21st May Fillies’ Handicap (6f) This looks a competitive Class 5 fillies’ handicap, but the HRB TimeWise ratings and Comment Shaper data narrow the race down considerably. Historically, the strongest angle in these races is to focus heavily on the top two TimeWise-ranked runners, and that immediately brings North West…

3.12 Southwell – Book The Bistro At Southwell Novices’ Handicap Chase Selection: Dunkerque (DEN) This looks a fascinating five-runner novice chase where the market may be overestimating the potential of chasing newcomers and underestimating the one runner bringing the strongest recent substance of form. HRB TimeWise Master ratings strongly favour Dunkerque, who is clear Rank…
