Timeform Irish SmartPlays: Thursday June 13

The O'Briens are fancied to have a winner tonight

Timeform pick out three bets from this evening's meeting at Leopardstown.

In the Ballycorus Stakes at 18:55 the headline act is Reply, who finished third behind Foxtrot Romeo in last year's Irish Guineas. He put up a career-best when winning a listed race in grand style last time and looks well up to taking a race of this nature. Yellow Rosebud was below form in the Gladness and her best form is all on good ground or softer so the biggest danger could be Sruthan, impressive over 7f on his penultimate start.

The Ballyogan Stakes, another Group 3, follows at 19:30. It could see an emotional victory for Tickled Pink, who is among the first runners to be sent out from Warren Place since the death of Sir Henry Cecil on Tuesday. She is a lightly-raced filly who left previous form well behind when making all in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket on return. She struggled in the Duke of York last time, but that race was a Group 1 in all but name and she is capable of getting back to winning ways returned to Group 3 level, acknowledging that this looks a decent renewal.

The 10-furlong handicap at 20:30 is similarly competitive for the grade. Abbey Vale is our fancy. He hasn't had many races to date and almost got his head in front on his reappearance. He should come on again for that and gets the nod. Long Journey Home and Bensoon are closely matched on their recent Galway running and respected.
