Today's Tips: In My Pocket worth the wait at Tipperary

In My Pocket can take the closing race for the in-form stable of John Oxx. The three-year-old colt made his debut at Navan back in April, and stayed on well to beat Cenotaph by more than two lengths. He wasn’t seen again until last month at Cork, where he reappeared to contest a listed race.

Somewhat free in the early stages of the latter race, he finished fifth behind Eshera, but ran better than the placing suggests. Jockey Declan McDonogh wasn’t hard on the inexperienced colt, but he stayed on nicely in the closing stages.

It seems safe to assume we haven’t seen the best of him yet, and the fact he won his maiden on yielding ground and is a son of Dubawi suggests he won’t have much issue if conditions turn soft. The nine-furlong trip also looks ideal at this stage of his career and, though he must concede experience to all his rivals, this looks a good opportunity to make a quick return to winning ways.
