Ruby Walsh’s tips today

11:45 – Brahma Bull
13:30 – Devilscoachman
14:05 – State Man
14:40 – Seabank Bistro
15:15 – Shewearsitwell
15:50 – Lecky Watson

11.45 – Brahma Bull

Brahma Bull has completed in his last three starts and takes his chance over the ‘banks’ in the Risk of Thunder Steeplechase. However, the Cross Country winner at Cheltenham last season, Delta Work will be a major obstacle to overcome.

13.30 – Devilscoachman

The Devilscoachman was progressive last season over fences as a novice chaser and he could be progressive over fences too this season. I’m a fan and like him for this Grade 2 Novice Chase.

14.05 – State Man

Willie Mullins saddles three in this contest and Paul Townend rides State Man. He’d have been my choice too. He’s a fair horse and will stay over hurdles this season.

14.40 – Seabank Bistro

Seabank Bistro was fourth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and had probably gone over the top when running at the Punchestown Festival. He’s a fine, string horse now and is one I like to improve this season. He starts off in this maiden hurdle and can hopefully progress.

15.15 – Shewearsitwell

Shewearsitwell didn’t qualify for Saturday’s contest as she’s a Grade One winner. I thought a mark of 137 was ok for her but this 2m 7f trip is unknown. She was very good but I’m not sure she has progressed like we hoped she would, particularly after she got injured.

15.50 – Lecky Watson

Lecky Watson was very unlucky last Easter at Fairyhouse behind Icare Desbois and got bumped around a bit. He looks to have come forward and can hopefully get compensation now.
