Ruby Walsh Horse Racing tips

13:50 His Majesty
14:25 Commanche Falls
15:00 Jon Riggens
15:40 Auguste Rodin
16:15 Howyoulikethat
16:50 Yerwanthere
17:25 Tarawa
17:55 Mr Escobar

13:50 His Majesty

I’m sticking with His Majesty. Going back up to six furlongs should really suit him.

14:25 Commanche Falls

Commanche Falls brings the best level of form to this race, is a straightforward ride, and looks a safe enough option.

15:00 Jon Riggens

Jon Riggens caught my eye the last day and going back down to five furlongs will suit him well.

15:40 Auguste Rodin

Auguste Rodin looked a superstar to me in the Epsom Derby and I see no reason why he won’t win here.

16:15 Howyoulikethat

Howyoulikethat put up a good run last time out. Billy Lee is in the saddle today and makes each way appeal.

16:50 Yerwanthere

Yerwanthere could be the one here, having been very unlucky at Royal Ascot last time.

17:25 Tarawa

Tarawa is dropping in class after a great fourth in the Irish 1,000 Guineas and is the one to beat.

18:00 Mr Escobar

I’d prefer if Mr Escobar was going left handed, but hopefully Chris Hayes can prevent him hanging on this right-handed track and win.
