Six runners are set to go to post in what is shaping up to be a tactical affair, with a mixture of proven maiden winners, Group race contenders and an unbeaten colt who surprised punters on debut. Among those expected to figure prominently are Brussels, who comes here after holding his own in a Group 2 at Newmarket, and Thesecretadversary, whose efforts in the Chesham Stakes and Ayr Maiden underline his quality.

Maximum Scepticism arrives off a wide-margin maiden success at Nottingham, while Empty Wallet and Suspicious Mindz look to bridge the form gap in what will be their toughest tests to date.

But lurking beneath the surface of the market is a colt who delivered a shock at Leopardstown last time out, and although this is a significant step up in class, there’s reason to believe he could once again outrun his odds.

Best Bet for the Coolmore Stud Churchill Stakes at Tipperary 5:47: Time Bender to win

At BettingTips4You, our philosophy is rooted in precision. We do not flood readers with a string of speculative predictions. Instead, we focus our expertise on one clear standout per race, designed to remove the noise and bring you what we believe is the most valuable selection of the day. For this Listed feature at Tipperary, Time Bender is the colt we’re putting forward.

Rationale:

When Time Bender made his first public appearance at Leopardstown in July, he was largely overlooked by the market, starting at 33/1. But despite the odds, he delivered a commanding performance, asserting himself by nearly two lengths from the well-fancied Joltin — a rival who has since come out and won, lending further substance to that debut victory. The manner in which Time Bender travelled through that race, followed by his decisive kick to settle matters, suggested raw ability that belied his inexperience.

Though still green — he veered markedly in the closing stages — his superiority was never in doubt. The win wasn’t flattered by race conditions, and if anything, there looked to be a bit more in the tank. The decision to pitch him into this level of competition at only his second start is ambitious, but connections have made it clear there weren’t suitable winners’ races in the immediate schedule, and his work at home has clearly been strong enough to justify this move up in class.

From a breeding standpoint, he’s entitled to thrive over this longer trip. By Gustav Klimt out of Dali’s Dream — a daughter of Tamayuz — his pedigree suggests a balance of pace and stamina that should suit Tipperary’s sharp but testing seven-and-a-half furlongs. And while he does face rivals with Group-level experience, none arrive with an unbeaten profile or quite the same recent momentum.

Given the expected strong pace up front and the slight unknown surrounding how Brussels will handle the extra furlong when likely to be prominent early, Time Bender may get the chance to pounce late. If he settles and improves even slightly from his debut — as most juveniles do — then he can be a serious player at what is likely to be a generous price again.
