Lifford Race Fields - 12th Jan 2025

The bookmakers are usually keen to keep ROANNA DUE (trap 1) on their side and that may prove a wise move as she looks to have sound claims here. Urbanesque (trap 4) has a legion of supporters who will no doubt be back for more as she is a big runner. Crokers Millie (trap 3) holds a chance of sorts and it could be enhanced at trap-rise.

Providing TARTAN PRIORITY (trap 4) is on her toes early on and returns one of her better efforts, she could be the answer to this trappy number. Bosco Lad (trap 6) is likely to come in for support again but may come up a fraction short. Forest Lizzo (trap 1) often carries support of a fair few punters and looks the pick of the rest.

NO MORE ROLOS (trap 3) is well worth an interest. Ticking the boxes that matter, she should oblige cosily and rates one of the better bets of the entire day. Ardnasool Lady (trap 5) has little margin for error but is certainly in with a big shout on the formbook. The task facing Rains Bridie (trap 4) looks within scope so she should play a part in the finish.

The bookmakers are often cagey when it comes to pricing up ARDNASOOL EZME (trap 5) and today should be a case in point as she looks the one to beat. The weight of money is normally for Sniper Ava (trap 2), who can bustle up the selection. Punters will be anxious to include Fridays Acclaim (trap 6) in forecast and tricasts.

The level of expectation is pretty high for STELLAS SECRET (trap 1) in this contest and she will take some holding if in contention through half way. Rains Lightning (trap 2) is proving popular with punters and she should give these a run for their money. Icecool Doll (trap 3) usually sees plenty of support - will her fan club be back for more?

HARRYS SAM (trap 1) looks to hold a leading chance in this line-up and the market is fully expected to echo those thoughts. Be Flashy (trap 6) is often one of the focal points in the ring and she is likely to keep the tip busy. Brassneckmarkone (trap 4) is often the subject of unrelenting support and he can't be ruled out.

BELLATRIX DOLL (trap 6) looks that good that she may cause a stampede not only in the betting ring but on the track. With a run of sorts, she will be very hard to beat. Pharis Sarah (trap 3) has a profile that could certainly worry the selection and she is rightly feared. Harrys Lucy (trap 1) is expected to be mid-division when push comes to shove.

TINKS LAD (trap 3) has a big chance against this calibre of opposition and can get the job done if showing the required killer instinct. Jacquelinesrabbo (trap 1) is one of the more likely ones and she can chase the selection home to deliver the forecast. Aghaderry Odhran (trap 6) is a respected force at this level of combat and he can sneak a place.

Opportunity knocks for SKIRK LEGEND (trap 2) in this contest and he can have already have built his superiority over these before heads are turned for home. The cash is likely to be down on Droopys Iona (trap 3) again and it could prove to be well placed if the selection slips up. It's still a learning game with Pharis Cashout (trap 4) as he has limited course experience.
