Ballinrobe Race 8 - QuinnBet Flat Race
BROTHER WALFRID (2) indicated plenty to work on when second beaten 3.75L making hurdle debut at Fairyhouse (3300m) early last month. Wouldn't have to improve much for that to be competitive here. FIVEANDAHALF (6) managed to keep on for fourth when making racecourse debut at Limerick eight weeks ago. Drops back into a flat race now and will benefit from that experience. MOYNEARD (10) hasn't been far away in three outings this campaign including among Listed company last time. Makes some appeal. KILTINAN (3) was well backed for his sole start in points but finished a distant fourth. One of the likelier chances on paper here. Something for the Multiples: ISABELLA JOHNSON (9)

Six-year-old gelding by Hillstar out of Queens And Aces who has taken a long time to make it to the track. Hard to recommend without a market push.
