Today's Tips: War Anthem can gain overdue success at Laytown

The action moves to Laytown this afternoon, where War Anthem, who has been running well all summer, and can earn overdue reward in the Gilna’s Cottage Inn Maiden.

John Murphy’s horse wasn’t without his supporters when third behind Beau Satchel early in the week at the Galway Festival, and again ran very well when filling the same position behind Bribe The Bouncer at the same venue, 24 hours later.

He didn’t step forward from that when beaten over a longer trip at Tipperary next time, but the return to seven furlongs should be in his favour, and the booking of Seamie Heffernan, who rode him last time, is another positive. He looks the type who could take to this surface, and can account for Pershing and Tubeanie.
