Horse racing tips: Hermes Hill can build on debut promise at Dundalk

The conditions of today’s race mean Hermes Hill is giving weight to all of his rivals but with natural improvement from his debut, he should prove up to the task

Hermes Hill can build on the promise of his recent debut by getting off the mark in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden, the third race on this afternoon’s card in Dundalk.

John McConnell’s colt started off in a maiden over seven furlongs at this track and despite racing freely for much of the trip, he stayed on well to hold third place behind two previously experienced and smart-looking sorts in Jack Rose and Navagio.
