Basic Law set to rule at Tipperary

Basic Law bids to claim a fourth successive victory in one of the feature events at Tipperary this afternoon.
Unraced as a juvenile, the Ger Lyons-trained gelding has appeared intent on making up for lost time over the past few months.
The son of Lawman shaped with abundant promise when runner-up as a largely unconsidered 25-1 shot on his racecourse debut at Naas in March and has since notched up a hat-trick — with back-to-back wins at Gowran Park followed by success at Leopardstown.
Basic Law must concede weight all round in the Follow @BetVictorRacing on Twitter Handicap, but nevertheless looks the one to beat in the hands of Colin Keane.
His six rivals include Willie McCreery’s recent Gowran scorer Killourney Aidan O’Brien’s Turnberry Isle and Balefire from Mick Halford’s yard.
The nine-furlong contest is one of two 26,000 euro prizes on offer, the other being the BetVictor Bet 5 Euros Get 30 Euros Offer Handicap.
A field of 10 three-year-olds have been declared for this five-furlong heat, including a course and distance winner in the Michael Mulvany-trained Silver Service
The grey won at the Curragh and at this venue last summer and is only 3lb higher than when last hitting the bullseye.
She was ultimately well beaten on her return to action at Cork little over a week ago, but that was her first competitive appearance since last August and she can be expected to step up on that performance.
Lyons and Keane combine with Bailly who would not be winning out of turn following a couple of placed efforts, while Sunset Nova also deserves to get his head in front after being beaten just half a length on his last two starts. Harbour Dance Tham Luang and Memyselfandmoi look the three to concentrate on in the Lengthen The Odds With BetVictor Maiden.
All three bring placed form to the table and unless one of the newcomers is above average, one of the trio should come out on top.
