Today's Tips: Fairwell Popular success on the cards in opener at Youghal

Tonight’s meeting at Youghal track is the last of 2015, and punters can get their money early by siding with Fairwell Popular in the opening race.

Tom Leahy’s bitch has a fine touch of early pace and can use her inside line to slip around in front in this company. Quite lightly raced and with potential for improvement, she can land the spoils at the expense of Handyman Lee and Castlemary Chyrl.

Tyrur Maxi has obvious claims in race four, which is an A5 550. It’s a rare drop to this level for the Tom O’Neill-trained bitch, and it’ll be disappointing if she fails to collect. Capable of a fast exit, the long run isn’t necessarily a positive but she has the class to get around in front this time. That being the case, it’ll take a huge effort to reel her in.
