Race Tip

DERRY LAD (7) revisits hurdles for the first time since December 2023 at Leopardstown. Enjoyed a nice flat career without winning while may improve from a last start fourteenth at Roscommon. Good chance. DIAMOND TIPP (2) was an impressive 5L winner of a course and distance hurdle during July. Unable to replicate when third at this track again stepping up in trip. May return to winning ways. OH JANEY (6) placed second at Perth in a maiden hurdle prior to missing a placing when fourth at Ballinrobe four weeks ago. Might bounce back. WHISPERING HOPES (5) can rebound from a last start fall at Perth.
