The Punt Acca: Mark Boylan's three horse racing tips on Friday

The Dasher Conway (6.30 Kilbeggan)

A 5lb rise shouldn't be enough to halt this relatively unexposed handicapper's progress as he bids to follow up a likeable winning performance at Clonmel in May. That win came after a 107-day break, and his only other win came on the back of an 86-day gap between races. With that in mind, a 64-day turnaround since his last start could be ideal for getting the most out of him. He should get his favoured ground and offers better recent form than the majority of his rivals.

Innisfree Beauty (7.00 Kilbeggan)

A reproduction of this gutsy mare's breakthrough win at Sligo last Sunday will likely be enough to get the job done here, attempting to provide trainer Ciaran Murphy with a local success. She was towards the very bottom of the handicap when winning off 90 against much higher rated rivals, some with marks of 120, 112 and 108. This time the roles are reversed and she is the top-ranked performer off 96, with all bar one of the opposition rated in the 80s. Provided this tougher weight-carrying task and a short turnaround doesn't take a toll, she could be too good for these.

Lily Light Foot (7.30 Kilbeggan)

After acting well around here when second in this race 12 months ago off just 1lb lower than her current mark, now could be the chance for this generally consistent handicapper to open her account. She got tired after cutting out much of the running at Tipperary last time but prior to that had only finished out of the first four on one of her previous seven starts (the unplaced effort being when she unseated at Navan). She has proven effective on decent ground in the past and doesn't look to be in an overly deep race.
