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

Inspiral(2.55 Deauville)

We didn't see the best of this superstar filly last time in the Falmouth when reported to be flat, but the fact connections are turning out five weeks later implies she must be right back on the top of her game. Rob Hornby was excellent from the front against her on Prosperous Voyage last time, and the mount of Frankie Dettori probably had to burn plenty of petrol to get on terms with that rival. It led to Insprial being unable to see her race out strongly at the death. This is a bigger test, but she must have a big say if back to the form of her awesome Coronation Stakes success, Coroebus wasn't as flashy as might have been expected at Royal Ascot and needs to show more, while State Of Rest is a thoroughly admirable sort but may not be a complete natural dropping to a mile. Inspiral makes most appeal in the circumstances if back on song.

Sit Down Lucy (4.00 Tramore)

Peter Fahey has his string in excellent order and this Galway festival scorer could make an immediate impact over fences in an open-looking mares' beginners' chase. Her hurdles mark of 128 gives her a useful base to work from in the context of this race, and she has decent form on sound surfaces.

Pat Coyne(4.35 Tramore)

A win and three placed efforts from six completed starts at Tramore tells you this capable chaser likes the seaside venue, and he's entitled to be in the thick of things on his return to fences. Competing off a much lower hurdles mark last time, he ran creditably enough when third at Killarney but should be seen in a better light now back over fences in this 2m5½f handicap chase. There's every chance this trip could be his optimum trip too.
