Horse Racing Tips: Ruby Walsh’s best bets at Naas and Fontwell on Sunday

14:00 Naas: Daly Tiger

Cilaos Emery is in good form but there’s only 6lbs between him and Daly Tiger on the official ratings. The weight swing is 9lbs so Daly Tiger is 3lbs in. It’s 108 days since Cilaos Emery last ran, whereas Daly Tiger ran 43 days ago. I think Daly Tiger has the fitness edge here.

14:30 Naas: School Boy Hours

Enjoy Dallen is in good form but I’m going for School Boy Hours, who is back over hurdles. School Boy Hours impressed at Punchestown in the back end of last year so he’s my pick here.

15:00 Naas: Echoes In Rain

I’m not sure this is a race to be having a bet on. If I had to pick, I’d tentatively go with Echoes In Rain. She’d have to settle better than she did in her last outing otherwise she’ll be susceptible in that last climb home here.

15:10 Fontwell: McFabulous

I find it hard to fancy Call Me Lord, while Cornerstone Lad has been chasing. Reserve Tank isn’t a great pick as Colin Tizzard horses aren’t on fire at the moment. Molly Ollys Wishes ran well in her last outing which was just 13 days ago so I’m surprised to see her running here. I think it’s a match between McFabulous and Brewinupastorm and I’d probably be in the McFabulous camp.

16:30 Naas: Micro Manage

I’m very much in the Gerri Colombe camp for the 17:30 and I also fancy Micro Manage in the 16:30, he’s actually my bet of the weekend. He’s improved a hell of a lot since his run behind Gateway Drift. He was much too keen on his first start over hurdles but he jumps really well and he should win at Naas.
