TODAY'S TIPS (WEDNESDAY)

Top pundit Dean Kilbryde heads to Dundalk this Wednesday as he picks out four horses he's backing to turn a hump day into profitable one. 15:17 DUNDALK

Mister Adam was a staying on fourth on debut at The Curragh in November and is expected to build on that now stepped up in trip for his in-form trainer. Joseph O’Brien saddles four, with Waterford Flow looking the pick of his quartet, however the bigger danger could come from What’s Your Game who shaped well when second here in November and should also be suited by this extra distance.

Pink Oxalis ran well for second over course and distance when last seen, losing by just over a length having had to wait for a gap to open two furlongs from home. With a clearer passage she should be able to go one better for trainer Stephen Thorne who has his string in excellent form (3 winners & 4 placed from 8 in January). Ferrari Desert has made the frame in three from four over track and trip and rates as the main danger, with Bucky Larson who returns from a long break off a tempting mark also worthy of mention.

Exquisite Acclaim beat Hightimeyouwon by a half-length when they met here over course and distance two weeks ago but reopposes off 3lbs worse terms today so it is the latter, who has made the frame in nine from eleven over track and trip, who is preferred today. Volatile Analyst has gone up 10lbs for victory last time out but has been competitive off higher marks so could still challenge for minor honours.

HIGHTIMEYOUWON (WIN)

Mint Man won here on penultimate run and followed up with a solid second earlier this month, however a record of just one career win from seventeen and a wider than ideal draw leads me to think he’s a little vulnerable today. Instead we turn to Sporting Hero who has won his last two over course and distance, both with Nicola Burns in the saddle, and has a much better draw in stall 1. Jazzy Dancer has dropped to 2lbs below last winning mark and could sneak a place.
