1	5 1st (5) (13/8 +41%) Soldier In Milan		1.625 13/8(+41%)																															(5) Soldier In Milan 13/8, Improved for debut experience, got racing early and set it up for closer when fourth beaten 1/2l in a beginners' chase at Gowran Park latest; trainer in form; effective 2m2f-2m4f, acts on HY and Y; point winner is progressing over fences, chance in this. Point and bumper winner led over the last at Gowran before finishing a close 4th; player.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/8 -48%) Kiss Will		1.625 13/8(-48%)																															(1) Kiss Will 13/8, Yard won this last year; ran to form when second, beaten 21l, in a beginners' chase at Leopardstown latest. Effective over 2m4f-3m and acts on good to soft and heavy; can win soon over fences. 21l runner-up on second chasing start last time; capable of winning a race like this.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 +0%) Shuffle The Deck		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(4) Shuffle The Deck 9/2, Never really put into the race but still improved up in trip when third, beaten 25l, in a beginners' chase at Leopardstown most recently. Effective from 2m-2m5f and acts on any ground, though likely better suited by decent conditions. 2-4 over hurdles; has 4l to find with Kiss Will on the basis of their meeting last time.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 -17%) Spread Boss Ted		14 14/1(-17%)																															(6) Spread Boss Ted 14/1, Yard won this last year; keeping on in about fourth when fell late in a beginners' chase at Navan latest; effective 2m4f-3m with cut; should come on for latest run if okay after fall. Three-time winning hurdler was making little impression when fell at Navan on chase debut.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 +31%) Supersundae		11 11/1(+31%)																															(7) Supersundae 11/1, Yard won this last year; outclassed when pulled up in the Turners Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) at Cheltenham latest. Effective around 2m5f on heavy and good to yielding; absence to overcome but brings potential to fences. Second in a Naas Gr.1 but PU on final two starts; best watched for now..
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 +24%) My Trump Card		50 50/1(+24%)																															(2) My Trump Card 50/1, Made mistakes and never threatened when comfortably held in a beginners' chase here last time, not given a hard time. Blinkers are fitted first time; effective over 2m4f-3m and may want easier ground; others preferred. Bumper and hurdles winner has been disappointing in five chase runs, jumping poorly.
3	3 |F| (3) (18/1 -100%) Pray Tell		18 18/1(-100%)																															(3) Pray Tell 18/1, Made mistakes but was ridden to pick up the pieces, avoiding carnage, and was back to form on chase debut when second, beaten 5 1/2l, in a beginners' chase here latest; needs to back up that effort which may flatter. Three-time winning hurdler inc' Gr.3 lost form before 2nd on chasing debut here last time.

KISS WILL has been the beaten favourite on his two outings over fences to date and can make it third time lucky now. The Tunis gelding was turned over at a short price on his chase debut behind a smart sort in Flicker Of Hope and then found Koktail Divin too strong at Leopardstown over Christmas. He's still unexposed and this looks like a nice opportunity. He should confirm Leopardstown form with Shuffle The Deck, who was four lengths behind him in third. Pray Tell ran well at a big price when second here on New Year's Eve and a similar effort could see him get involved.

Point winner SOLDIER IN MILAN led over the last at Gowran before being relegated into a close fourth. That marks him as a key player

1	2 1st (2) (15/8 +6%) Tarbat Ness		1.875 15/8(+6%)																															(2) Tarbat Ness 15/8, Travelled well and ran to his best when back up in trip and returned to AW, landing a handicap by 3/4l off a 5lb lower mark here last time. Effective from 14-21f and in form, he can go well again off his new mark. Career-best form when winning over C&D last month (front pair clear); commands respect.
2	1 2nd (1) (17/2 -183%) Clansman		8.5 17/2(-183%)																															(1) Clansman 17/2, Needed the run but was not far off form when beaten 1l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Trainer in form, effective from 12-16f on any surface, and should come on for that latest outing back up in trip. Returned from break with pleasing 1m4f run here last month will be suited by return to 2m.
3	4 3rd (4) (9/2 +55%) Billy Bathgate		4.5 9/2(+55%)																															(4) Billy Bathgate 9/2, Did his best work late when fourth, beaten 4l off 57 last time, and is 1lb lower here. Effective from 14-16f and acts on any surface; can go well again at a course he likes. Consistent 10yo who is now only 1lb higher than for Wolverhampton win in early December.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 -13%) Arcimboldo		9 9/1(-13%)																															(6) Arcimboldo 9/1, Ran to form but again looked slow when fourth beaten 12l in a handicap here latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 16f, acts on AW; stays well and has a race like this in him. Posted three good runs in the autumn but form has dipped lately; cheekipeces now added.
5th	3 5th (3) (13/8 +28%) The Craftymaster		1.625 13/8(+28%)																															(3) The Craftymaster 13/8, Ran to his best and was strong at the finish when landing a handicap by 3l off a 5lb lower mark at Chelmsford last time. Best at 14-16f and acts on AW; respected under a penalty. Clear winner at Chelmsford last week; remains very well handicapped on early-2025 form.

THE CRAFTYMASTER had plenty in hand when winning over 1m6f at Chelmsford a week ago and a 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up. Tarbat Ness has won his last two Flat starts, including over C&D last time, and he could give the selection plenty to think about. Clansman edges out Billy Bathgate to be next best.

Preference is for TARBET NESS, who pulled nicely clear of the others with an unexposed rival when scoring over C&D last month.

Holds leading claims on the pick of her bare figures in bumpers and over hurdles.

Far from solid on form but may improve for the first-time hood.

Needs improvement kept to maiden level rather than switching to handicaps.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/4 -347%) Siorai		2.75 11/4(-347%)																															(6) Siorai 11/4, Ran to form beaten 10l in an auction race at Fairyhouse last time; trainer in form; effective up to 12f on Flat; brings significant promise to hurdles. Showed ability on Flat for Jim Bolger; interesting in this weak race on hurdles debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (150/1 -200%) Mischief Millie		150 150/1(-200%)																															(5) Mischief Millie 150/1, Yard won this last year; a poor debut when well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Catterick on her only start; can only do better now hurdling and stepping up in trip. Achieved nothing in a Catterick bumper.

Roses All The Way sets a modest standard with an official rating of 109 but should be more than capable in a race of this nature, although SIORAI is preferred. The Masar filly displayed promise in three Flat runs for Jim Bolger before moving to an in-form Harry Derham. Tuppence will need a first-time hood to work the oracle but is next best nonetheless.

Roses All The Way doesn't look totally bombproof but she's the form pick. Hurdles debutant SIORAI is more interesting.

1	6 1st (6) (40/1 -150%) My Immortal		40 40/1(-150%)																															(6) My Immortal 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Leopardstown latest. Suited by 3m with plenty of cut; out of form and remains a maiden over fences. Early promise over fences, has failed to reach the first six in last four h'cap chases.
2	9 2nd (9) (17/2 +23%) Uncle Pat		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(9) Uncle Pat 17/2, Unseated early in a Grade 3 handicap chase at Leopardstown latest. Top jockey back on board; effective at 2m4f-3m and prefers a sound surface; interesting contender over this new trip. Maiden over fences, noteworthy as a brother to 3m2f chase winner Adamantly Chosen.
3	13 3rd (13) (9/1 +25%) Built By Ballymore		9 9/1(+25%)																															(13) Built By Ballymore 9/1, Outpaced, flashed tail and raced on the worst ground on the inside but looked awkward when down the field in a handicap chase at Naas most recently. Effective at around 2m4f-3m with plenty of cut; yet to match very useful hurdles form as a chaser. Only 8-1 when ran poorly in his first handicap chase, new headgear combination.
4	1 4th (1) (20/1 -25%) Prends Garde A Toi		20 20/1(-25%)																															(1) Prends Garde A Toi 20/1, Yard has won the last three runnings of this race; fell mid-race in a Grade 3 handicap chase at Leopardstown latest. Trainer in form; effective at 2m-2m4f and acts on heavy and yielding; has a chance if okay after the fall. One of six runners for the yard, has plenty of weight, 2m4f winner, others may stay better.
5th	16 5th (16) (10/1 +38%) May Call You Back		10 10/1(+38%)																															(16) May Call You Back 10/1, Well held back over hurdles up in grade when down the field in the Listed Paddy And Maureen Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown most recently. In good form prior; effective at 2m-2m4f and acts on any ground; return to fences in her favour. Has improved dramatically from a low handicap base, a big question mark about her stamina.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/2 +25%) The Lovely Man		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(8) The Lovely Man 9/2, Travelled, ran to form off generous mark, suited by the trip landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off a 10lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time; effective 3m, suited by cut; progressive and could improve again for this trip. Backed up Navan chase win with a hurdles win, strong stayer, suited by heavy, progressive.
7th	12 7th (12) (11/1 +45%) Ney		11 11/1(+45%)																															(12) Ney 11/1, Returned to form back up in trip when second, beaten 5 1/2l, in a handicap chase here latest. Effective at 2m-3m and acts with cut; useful dual-purpose performer but this mark demands more. Course winner, returned to form last time, trip could help to bring out the best in him.
8th	14 8th (14) (6/1 +40%) Koori Star		6 6/1(+40%)																															(14) Koori Star 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 9 1/2l in a novice chase at Down Royal last time. Cheekpieces first time and a significant jockey booking; effective at 2m2f-3m, consistent and can do better now handicapping over further. Has been running in beginners' chases over inadequate trips, a potential dark horse now.
9th	15 9th (15) (40/1 -122%) Evies Vladimir		40 40/1(-122%)																															(15) Evies Vladimir 40/1, Found little in a strongly run race having briefly threatened when down the field in a handicap chase at Navan most recently. Effective at 2m4f-3m3f and acts well with cut; inconsistent. Twice well beaten since second to stablemate The Lovely Man over 3m at Navan.
10th	11 10th (11) (9/1 +10%) Binge Worthy		9 9/1(+10%)																															(11) Binge Worthy 9/1, Yard has won the last three runnings of this race; had too much to do after a shuddering late error when beaten 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Navan last time. Cheekpieces first time; effective at 2m-2m5f and may do better now over further. Needs to improve in cheekpieces judged on third placing in less demanding company at Navan.
11th	2 11th (2) (13/2 +19%) Patter Merchant		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(2) Patter Merchant 13/2, Yard won this last three runnings of race; ran to form when 24l third in a beginners' chase at Navan most recent run; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; effective 2m4f, best at 3m, acts on any ground; generally in good form and this trip may suit. Failed to win a handicap hurdle, maiden over fences, no progress lately, cheekpieces now.
12th	3 12th (3) (12/1 -50%) Born Braver		12 12/1(-50%)																															(3) Born Braver 12/1, Improved when relishing the step up in trip, beaten a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Down Royal last time. Effective at 2m4f-3m and acts on soft and good ground; progressing as the trip increases over fences. Stayed well in points and over hurdles, good 3m run matches him closely with Lucky Lyreen.
13th	4 13th (4) (15/2 -15%) Lucky Lyreen		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(4) Lucky Lyreen 15/2, Yard won this last three runnings of race; improved up in trip in first-time cheekpieces when landing a handicap by a neck off a 8lb lower mark at Down Royal last time; trainer in form; effective 2m4f-3m with cut; remains well treated on hurdle form, progressive over fences and should stay. Interesting rematch of 3m Down Royal clash with Born Braver, trip should be within range.
5	5 |PU| (5) (18/1 +10%) Fortunedefortunata		18 18/1(+10%)																															(5) Fortunedefortunata 18/1, Won this race last year; unseated in the Listed Porterstown Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse latest. Trainer in form and off a short break; suited by 3m+ with cut but below par so far this term. Last year's winner, hard to see him repeat that after a litany of misfortune this season.

THE LOVELY MAN revels in testing conditions and comes here in fine form. Gavin Cromwell's charge was a good winner over fences at Navan in mid-December before landing a handicap hurdle at Gowran last month. He races off a 10lb higher chase mark now, but looks progressive. Gordon Elliott has won the last four runnings of this and Jack Kennedy sides with Lucky Lyreen, who stayed well when winning at Down Royal last month. He got the better of Born Braver by a neck in a driving finish, but is 2lb worse off. This marathon trip could bring further improvement, though.

The value bet could be NEY who showed good stamina as a hurdler and came back to form with a lively display here five weeks ago.

1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +36%) Tupero		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(2) Tupero 9/2, Too keen in new headgear combo upped in trip comfortably held in a handicap here last time; effective at 12f, acts on S and AW; drop in trip a plus and capable of better yet. Well beaten when upped to 2m for handicap debut but this drop back in trip should help.
2	8 2nd (8) (13/2 +35%) Angelardo		6.5 13/2(+35%)																															(8) Angelardo 13/2, No-show from off the pace when beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time. The trainer is in form but he has yet to show any worthwhile form himself. Remains lightly raced but looked very one-paced when seventh at Southwell this month.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 -29%) Nymphaea		9 9/1(-29%)																															(5) Nymphaea 9/1, Made late gains when tried in cheekpieces, beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective over 12f on this surface; remains below a winning level but had more in it than latest. Six-race maiden; ran okay in first-time cheekpieces this month; now needs to buid on that.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 +27%) Muhib		16 16/1(+27%)																															(7) Muhib 16/1, Found little and was below form when beaten 8l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 10f on this surface; looks regressive and has stamina to prove. Recent efforts have been disappointing and he's now 0-16.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 +64%) I Am Simba		12 12/1(+64%)																															(1) I Am Simba 12/1, No-show from off the pace when comfortably held in a novice here last time; cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Usually held up and returning from a break, he may do better now up in trip on his handicap debut. Struggled on all three Flat starts but showed minor promise in bumpers beforehand.
6th	4 6th (4) (17/2 +47%) Violeta		8.5 17/2(+47%)																															(4) Violeta 17/2, No-show from off the pace down the field in a handicap here most recent; off a short-break; effective 10-12f, suited by AW; likes the track but needs to bounce back. Ran poorly here last time but has good claims if judged on earlier C&D second.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 +53%) Busby		4 4/1(+53%)																															(6) Busby 4/1, Below form when beaten 7l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective over 9-12f and acts well on this surface; more is needed despite an easing mark. Veteran who has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in October.
8th	9 8th (9) (9/4 +18%) Yquem		2.25 9/4(+18%)																															(9) Yquem 9/4, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 3lb lower mark at Dundalk last time. Effective over 10/11f on this surface and running into form at a lowly level in handicaps. Aided by cheekpieces when running well twice at Dundalk last month; must be considered.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

DUCHESS has filled second place on both starts since springing a surprise at Southwell in January and she is more than capable of returning to winning ways on this occasion. Yquem's last couple of efforts in defeat at Dundalk suggest that she could play a big role in this company. The rest all have questions to answer, but Busby and Violeta are the pick of them.

Some of these are still unexposed but the most obvious answer is DUCHESS, who arrives in very good form.

Effective at 2m-2m4f; has a chance if avoiding a bounce. Showed signs of retaining ability on belated return to action; not ruled out.

3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -11%) Scots Poet		5 5/1(-11%)																															(4) Scots Poet 5/1, Had too much to do and was unsuited by the way the race developed but ran a solid race when beaten 7 1/2l into third in a handicap hurdle at Catterick last time. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good; down to a workable mark and ideally wants a strong pace. Veteran whose current mark reflects a decline in his ability.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 +0%) Anamanda		16 16/1(+0%)																															(7) Anamanda 16/1, Made too much use of and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time.

5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 -211%) Bouboule		14 14/1(-211%)																															(6) Bouboule 14/1, Ran to best back on the Flat when beaten 3 1/2l off a 36lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective at 2m on a sound surface; not ruled out. Good effort back on Flat last time; this juvenile hurdler is on a workable mark.
6th	5 6th (5) (16/1 -100%) Canavan		16 16/1(-100%)																															(5) Canavan 16/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a 4yo hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective at 2m on soft and good to soft; from a top yard and may do better now switched to handicaps. Juvenile hurdler who may show improvement off his opening hurdles mark.
7th	2 7th (2) (20/1 -82%) Mr Lincoln		20 20/1(-82%)																															(2) Mr Lincoln 20/1, Tired late having refused to settle and ran well to a point when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time; since undergone a wind operation. Suited by 2m, acts on heavy and good; a threat on Irish form but struggling for new yard after a layoff. Physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) may prompt a turnaround.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 -140%) Magic Gloves		18 18/1(-140%)																															(3) Magic Gloves 18/1, Ran to form down in trip on handicap debut beaten 4l off this mark here last time; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective at 2m-2m4f, acts on S and G; more to come in handicaps. Ran well in C&D contest on handicap debut ten weeks ago; possibilities off same mark.
9	9 |F| (9) (50/1 -25%) Now Then Wendy		50 50/1(-25%)																															(9) Now Then Wendy 50/1, Stepped back in the right direction when tried in a tongue-tie, albeit comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Hereford last time. Off a short break; effective at 2m, acts on soft and good; down to a competitive mark. Has inconsistent hurdles form; not sure to back up latest effort.

MAGIC GLOVES took a step forward when fourth over C&D on her handicap bow and the application of a first-time tongue-tie might elicit further improvement from the Russell/Scudamore inmate. She receives a tentative vote but that's only because Inca Prince ran with credit at Sedgefield most recently and has become too well handicapped to leave out of the equation. Sattam is capable, and veteran Scots Poet should not be underestimated either.

The Verdict comprises the juveniles BOUBOULE and Canavan who both look favourably treated in this switch to handicap hurdling.

3	2 3rd (2) (11/2 +31%) Stede Bonnet		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(2) Stede Bonnet 11/2, Ran to form, benefitting from drop in class when winning a novice hurdle at Ayr by 4 1/2l last time; effective around 2m, acts on HY and G; dual bumper winner, progressing over hurdles. Won two bumpers last summer, would get 5lb from stablemate Lazare De Star in a handicap.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 -33%) Jony R		16 16/1(-33%)																															(1) Jony R 16/1, Travelled strongly and did it readily when returning to form down in trip in a first-time hood, winning a novice hurdle at Down Royal by 7 1/2l last time. Trainer in form, effective at 2m1f and acts on S and Y, but more needed here. Two wins at Down Royal, meets Head on lb worse than handicap terms.

There is not much to choose between LAZARE DE STAR and Zeus Power based on their meeting at Navan last month. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding, who previously won a maiden at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting, looked the winner most of the way up the straight that day only to be headed in the closing stages. The combination of this easier track and a 5lb swing in the weights may give him the edge. Heads Up had smart form in bumpers last season and has taken well to hurdles, but needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort at Cheltenham.

A rematch of a Navan novice event could prove key to the outcome here with LAZARE DE STAR given narrow preference over Zeus Power

HAVACHOC ran right away from his rivals in a classified event at Wolverhampton and gamely followed up back in a handicap at Southwell. That was a stiffer test than he faces here and a 3lb rise might not prevent the four-year-old from completing the hat-trick. The code-switching Achnamara is well handicapped based on past exploits on the Flat and he is a strong contender. Free Pic and Dancing Bay complete the shortlist.

Money for Neddies Boy would alter the complexion of the race but as things stand FREE PIC is selected to gain a second C&D win.

Only third best on merit when second here last month but remains unexposed over fences.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/1 +9%) King Horse		10 10/1(+9%)																															(3) King Horse 10/1, Outpaced and disappointing on handicap debut when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby most recently. Off a short break; effective at 2m on soft; needs more now chasing but has point experience. Soundly beaten on handicap hurdle debut (2m); up in trip for this chasing debut.

Having separated subsequent winners when runner-up over C&D last month, DIDNTGOTWENTY could be poised to open his account. A 1lb drop in the ratings could prove to be lenient for the seven-year-old and he's taken to repel Divas Doyen. Although Sandy Forster's mare was underwhelming at Carlisle recently, a repeat of her penultimate second over track and trip would see her involved. Handicap/chase debutant Siege Of Acres is worth a second look in the betting.

Sandy Forster's DIVAS DOYEN ran well when second over C&D in the autumn and is taken to record her third chase win.

1	3 1st (3) (11/8 +31%) Ksar Fatal		1.375 11/8(+31%)																															(3) Ksar Fatal 11/8, Below his debut level when well beaten in a bumper here latest and now returns from a long layoff. Effective at 2m2f on soft to heavy ground. Ex-Willie Mullins and retains significant potential now going hurdling. Some nice form inc' for Willie Mullins; big contender if retaining all his talent.

Took a step back from his promising debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on heavy and good ground; bumper form is very strong and a bounce back is needed. Second on hurdles bow; no obvious excuse last time when well beaten but this is winnable.

Effective over 2m3f on soft to heavy ground and improvement is likely. Showed little in three points; 23l sixth on rules debut was as good as could be expected.
4	7 4th (7) (13/2 -8%) Pat's Legacy		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(7) Pat's Legacy 13/2, Ran to form when stepped up in trip and finished second, beaten 3 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse latest. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft to heavy and yielding ground. Should improve again. The pick of trainer's 3; fifth in a strong m'den and runner-up latest; can go well again.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +9%) Panjandrum		5 5/1(+9%)																															(6) Panjandrum 5/1, Yard won this race last year. Had a poor hurdles debut when pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest. Trainer is in form, effective around 2m with cut in the ground and is surely better than he showed last time. Point and bumper winner had blood at nostrils when PU last time; go well if on song.
6th	11 6th (11) (150/1 -200%) Chisel Hill		150 150/1(-200%)																															(11) Chisel Hill 150/1, Vadamos mare and sister to the poor performer Sinceyouvebeengone. Dam was a 2m hurdle winner. Hard to fancy on debut. Dam 2m hurdle winner; unlikely to make immediate impact.
7th	2 7th (2) (50/1 -213%) King Of Westeros		50 50/1(-213%)																															(2) King Of Westeros 50/1, Yard won this race last year. Made no impact when tried in a hood and was held when falling in an auction hurdle at Thurles latest. Trainer is in form, effective at 3m in points and looks the type to do better when handicapping. Point runner-up was tailed off on rules bow and fell when in rear last time.
8th	12 8th (12) (100/1 -52%) Courageous Cleo		100 100/1(-52%)																															(12) Courageous Cleo 100/1, Yard won this race last year. Made a modest debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper here on her only start. Trainer is in form and she returns from a break; may do better up in trip now hurdling. In the rear throughout on bumper debut when tailed off; 8-1 that day so may do better.
9th	10 9th (10) (150/1 -127%) Auntie Ida		150 150/1(-127%)																															(10) Auntie Ida 150/1, Made a modest debut over hurdles when down the field in a graduation hurdle here most recent. Looks the type to do better when handicapping. Shaped with promise on bumper debut but way below that when tailed off over C&D latest.
10th	14 10th (14) (250/1 -150%) Shortt Fuse		250 250/1(-150%)																															(14) Shortt Fuse 250/1, Rajj mare and half-sister to Reverse Polarity, a useful hurdles winner over 2m. Makes little appeal on debut and is likely to need the experience. Half-sister to 2m hurdle winner Reverse Polarity; best watched.
11th	15 11th (15) (250/1 -100%) The Fly Window		250 250/1(-100%)																															(15) The Fly Window 250/1, No show from off the pace when down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recent. Has shown little to date and may do better when switched to handicaps. Never counted in either m'den hurdle run; likely to need more time.
12th	5 12th (5) (80/1 -264%) Only For Our Man		80 80/1(-264%)																															(5) Only For Our Man 80/1, Below his hurdles debut level when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal most recent. Effective over 2m2f on a sound surface and, as a point winner, there should be more to come under rules, with a longer trip likely to suit. Point winner took second in a pointers bumper; below his best in two runs for new yard.
13th	13 13th (13) (250/1 -100%) Mo Chailin Mor		250 250/1(-100%)																															(13) Mo Chailin Mor 250/1, Made a moderate debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse on her only start. May need more time and handicaps. Sent off 80-1 on debut when tailed off; ruled out.
14th	16 14th (16) (25/1 -56%) Who's Going		25 25/1(-56%)																															(16) Who's Going 25/1, Yard won this race last year. Getaway gelding and first foal of a mare who is a half-sister to high-class hurdle and chase winner Gilgamboa. Top trainer is in form but he may need this debut run. Unraced dam related to Stealthy Tom and Gilgamboa; yard's main dart seems to be Panjandrum.
4	4 |PU| (4) (150/1 -50%) Live My Dream		150 150/1(-50%)																															(4) Live My Dream 150/1, Improved, albeit well beaten, in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest and returns from a short break.

DANI DONADONI won a Limerick bumper in impressive fashion last spring and beat all bar Lord Rouge when switched to hurdles in a 19-runner Cork maiden in December. He needs to bounce back after being soundly beaten later that month at Leopardstown, but is taken to do so. Ksar Fatal and Panjandrum must also put disappointing efforts behind them. The former, who easily won a point-to-point and impressed in a Gowran bumper, has now joined Barry Connell from Willie Mullins. Panjandrum won a point and a bumper too, but reportedly bled when pulled up on his hurdling debut at Limerick.

This is a winnable race for DANI DONADONI but market strength for Ksar Fatal would make him very interesting

BOSSY PARKER has a convincing profile based on recent form and looks worth another chance after just running out of steam over an extended mile at Wolverhampton. Having performed well over C&D in the past, this could be a rewarding piece of placement by his connections. I Can Boogy came good over track and trip recently and appears a big danger. Sir Maxi and Serengeti Sunrise are appealing each-way options.

Bossy Parker is a solid candidate but I CAN BOOGY won cosily in a similar C&D event 11 days ago and she can follow up.

Wearelongterm appreciated a switch to hurdling when hitting the frame over C&D on New Year's Day and he must enter calculations dropping in class. However, there is a fair chance that this rise in distance could unlock significant improvement in handicap-debutant CRYSTELLO, who finished second in a 3m point-to-point last April. Harry Derham's charge gets the verdict, with Bollin Matilda the pick of the remainder.

The most interesting runner is Harry Derham's handicap debutant CRYSTELLO, who moves up in trip after three encouraging runs.

5th	8 5th (8) (15/8 +44%) Nettuno Italia		1.875 15/8(+44%)																															(8) Nettuno Italia 15/8, Travelled, did it easily, improved back up in trip landing a handicap by 7 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark here last time; suited by around 3m with cut; progressing, looks thorough stayer. Came good over C&D last time with easy win and form was franked; good chance.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/2 +15%) Kir		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(5) Kir 11/2, Returned to form back up in trip, a game effort having done plenty early when beaten 1 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective over 2m4f-3m, acts on soft and good; may have a bit more to offer as a stayer. Debut h'cap winner and led for most of way last time before worn down into 3rd; in the mix.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/2 -10%) Sean Mc		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(11) Sean Mc 11/2, Improved again and was well placed off a modest pace when beaten 1/2l off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective over 2m-2m4f, acts with cut; steadily progressing. Runner-up at F'house (form boosted) and filled same spot here next time; up in trip now.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 +33%) West Of Bally		12 12/1(+33%)																															(6) West Of Bally 12/1, Bit keen but ran to form 16l third in a novice hurdle at Limerick most recent run; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on H and Y; progressing, conditions should suit on handicap debut. Easy m'den winner but failed to justify favouritism in a novice event last time.
9th	1 9th (1) (5/1 +58%) American Jukebox		5 5/1(+58%)																															(1) American Jukebox 5/1, Taken on up front, made too much use of when fourth beaten 12l in a novice hurdle at Thurles latest; trainer in form; effective 2m3f-2m6f with cut; in fair form for top yard and interesting on handicap debut. Made all to easily win Tramore m'den but 12l behind upped in class at Thurles last time.
4	4 |PU| (4) (14/1 -250%) Gorvitho		14 14/1(-250%)																															(4) Gorvitho 14/1, Step back in right direction down in trip, albeit comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time; effective 2m1f-2m4f, acts with cut; more to come now handicapping for top yard and the choice of Paul Townend. Generally underwhelming in 3 Irish runs inc' when 22l behind latest; questions to answer.

NETTUNO ITALIA opened his account over a similar trip here last month and may follow up with Danny Gilligan keeping the partnership intact. The form of that contest has been well advertised by the runner up since and his ability to handle testing ground will stand the gelding in good stead. Kir won over 3m at Limerick in October and is weighted to confirm superiority over Fairyhouse winner From The Ashes on their meeting at Limerick shortly after Christmas. Gorvitho and Drop A Threat both step up in trip on their handicap debuts, while West Of Bally and Sean Mc are others to consider.

NUTTUNO ITALIA came good over C&D last time with an easy win, and the runner-up that day has scored comfortably since

Ran to form when second, beaten 3/4l off 69 last time and 1lb higher here. Trainer in form, effective at 7f and much better on AW. Veteran can go well again. Veteran who arrives in form and has conditions to suit; should be in the thick of it again.

Effective at 7/8f and acts on AW. Still on a competitive mark. Stablemate of Tasever; on a handy mark and this should be run to suit; could fare better.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 -54%) Concert Boy		10 10/1(-54%)																															(8) Concert Boy 10/1, Too keen but made late gains down in trip when third, beaten 1 1/2l off 62 last time and 1lb lower here. Effective over 7/8f, suited by AW, in good form and likes the track. Conditions to suit and running creditably but may have to make do with more minor money.
6th	1 6th (1) (7/2 -27%) Tasever		3.5 7/2(-27%)																															(1) Tasever 7/2, Bit keen but showed good attitude when landing a handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 7/8f and mainly campaigned on AW these days. Fair chance under a penalty. All 6 wins here, the latest on Tuesday (1m); needs more off a 6lb higher mark.
7th	7 7th (7) (3/1 +25%) Front Gunner		3 3/1(+25%)																															(7) Front Gunner 3/1, Ran to form when beaten a nose off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Enjoys making it and suited by 7f. This C&D suits and he can go well again. Narrowly denied by Flowstate over C&D nine days ago; other pace in today's field.
8th	5 8th (5) (22/1 -22%) Saisons D'or		22 22/1(-22%)																															(5) Saisons D'or 22/1, Found little when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time, having been in good form prior. Returning from a break and effective over 7/8f. Bounce back needed. Still capable as a 10yo, winning at Catterick in August; in competitive race after a break.

Six-time course winner Tasever is taken seriously, despite picking up a 5lb penalty for Tuesday's success over a mile here, while Flowstate commands respect after edging out Front Gunner over C&D. However, there could be some value in giving NOVAK another throw of the dice. Iain Jardine's gelding is a dual track-and-trip scorer and is highly dangerous to underestimate from 3lb below his last winning mark. Mohammed Tabti notably enhances that by claiming 5lb.

In what should be a well-run affair, clear preference is for FLOWSTATE (nap) who remains unexposed over a stiff 7f.

1	7 1st (7) (4/1 -33%) Bridge Court		4 4/1(-33%)																															(7) Bridge Court 4/1, Below form up in grade when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Haydock last time; had been in good form prior; effective around 2m4f and acts on soft and good; probably has more to come as a chaser. Not fully exposed over fences but has something to prove in this scenario.
2	5 2nd (5) (10/1 +29%) Finn Lough		10 10/1(+29%)																															(5) Finn Lough 10/1, Did not find much having briefly threatened when well beaten in a handicap chase at Market Rasen last time; off a short break; effective from 3m to 3m2f and acts on good to soft and good; needs more down in trip. Revival would put him in the picture off current mark.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/8 +6%) Jus De Citron		1.875 15/8(+6%)																															(3) Jus De Citron 15/8, Rallied after being outpaced when beaten a length off a 2lb lower mark at Newcastle last time; trainer in form; effective around 2m4f, acts on GS; should improve significantly for initial experience, may do better over further. Lightly raced; promising third at Newcastle switched to chasing last time; respected.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +0%) Special Rate		4 4/1(+0%)																															(1) Special Rate 4/1, Ran to form when 6l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; effective 2m1f-3m on a sound surface; can go well if ground not too deep. Reasonably solid, having posted two respectable efforts over C&D for new yard.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 -50%) Inis Oirr		12 12/1(-50%)																															(6) Inis Oirr 12/1, Mistakes, below form comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; suited by marathon trips, acts on S and GS, needs to go right-handed; inconsistent. Effective at Musselburgh but his losing run is mounting up.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/1 +7%) Jet Legs		7 7/1(+7%)																															(4) Jet Legs 7/1, Again a bit below form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Newcastle last time; off a short break; effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on any going; easing in the weights and not ruled out. Has slipped back to last winning mark and may prove resurgent.
2	2 |U| (2) (9/1 +25%) Bold Light		9 9/1(+25%)																															(2) Bold Light 9/1, Ran to form on chase debut when fourth beaten 11l in a handicap chase here latest; effective 2m4f, acts on S and GS; needs more over fences but longer trip may suit. Not in the best of form this term; drops in class for second chase attempt.

Dropping in class can be beneficial for SPECIAL RATE, who wasn't beaten far when third over C&D two weeks ago and can use that as a stepping stone to success in this company. The low-mileage Jus De Citron is interesting back up in trip and could also have a big say with another step forward on just his third start since wind surgery. Inis Oirr tends to go well here and is also a solid option.

With progress on the cards, lightly raced JUS DE CITRON (nap) is preferred. Solid-looking Special Rate is second choice.

1	4 1st (4) (9/4 +18%) Soul Asylum		2.25 9/4(+18%)																															(4) Soul Asylum 9/4, Promising debut when runner-up, beaten a head in a maiden point at Dromahane on his only start. Trainer in form; off a short break; ran well in a point and has joined a top yard which can get them ready first time. Hampered at the last when only just losing out in a keenly- contested maiden at Dromahane.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 -100%) Begorra Man		4 4/1(-100%)																															(1) Begorra Man 4/1, Very promising bumper debut, confirming earlier hurdles promise, when second beaten 4 1/4l in a bumper here on his latest start. Returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m; acts on soft; form franked and a big player if fit. Absent since second to a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on chance here 12 months ago.

Off a short break; effective at 3m in points; held in high regard and could show his true colours now on softer ground. Point winner, failed to run to expectations at Leopardstown, presumably capable of better.
4	3 4th (3) (66/1 +18%) Little Ginger		66 66/1(+18%)																															(3) Little Ginger 66/1, Crystal Ocean gelding; half-brother to Dromore Lad, who was useful up to 3m4f. Has been found a tough enough race in which to make his debut. Half-brother to five-time winner Dromore Lad and to a bumper scorer, unenviable task.

BEGORRA MAN showed plenty of promise both over hurdles and in a bumper last term. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding hasn't been seen since finishing runner-up to the impressive Gameofinches in this race last year with a number of subsequent winners behind. Soul Asylum was narrowly denied in a point-to-point at Dromahane in November before being snapped up by current connections for 280,000 pounds. Point-to-point winner Heldam faded in the straight when favourite on his debut under Rules at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting but it is too soon to write him off.

SOUL ASYLUM gets the vote. He made his debut in a Dromahane maiden point that served as a prelude to three high-value sales

Placed in 1m events on Tapeta on her last two starts; more appealing than most.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 +64%) Derrygarran Lad		8 8/1(+64%)																															(2) Derrygarran Lad 8/1, Showed some promise when third, beaten 5l, in a maiden here on debut. Effective over 7f on AW and likely to improve for the step up in trip. Finished 1l behind Henry Halflight over 7f here on last month's debut; improvement a must.

Has a wide draw, is effective over 6/7f and could have more to offer up in trip under a penalty on his AW debut. Strong finish to win at Cork in September (6f; form franked); leading claims under penalty.

Odds-on for debut here last month (7f) but too green to do himself justice; should improve.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 +64%) Lorton Valley		12 12/1(+64%)																															(5) Lorton Valley 12/1, Ulysses gelding and half-brother to Raffles Angel, who was useful at 6f.

6th	9 6th (9) (250/1 -150%) Thependleburyfox		250 250/1(-150%)																															(9) Thependleburyfox 250/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; sprint-bred but has not displayed any speed so far. Has plenty to prove at present. Poor form in two course runs this winter; no appeal.
7th	6 7th (6) (22/1 -57%) Henry Halflight		22 22/1(-57%)																															(6) Henry Halflight 22/1, Stayed on well when runner-up, beaten 4l, in a maiden here on his only start, shaping with promise. Trainer is in form, effective over 7f on AW and should improve. Modest form but some promise when 2nd of five here (7f) on debut; 1m a plus on breeding.
8th	3 8th (3) (40/1 -60%) Hengist Pod		40 40/1(-60%)																															(3) Hengist Pod 40/1, Head high and green under pressure when fourth, beaten 3 1/2l, in a novice at Wolverhampton last time. Has a nice middle-distance pedigree and is a slow learner who remains open to further progress. Second run was a huge step forward from his debut; capable of further progress.

Trainer is in form and he could easily have a say on debut. Half-brother to three winners out of a winner in Germany; yard also run Henry Halflight.

L L Koulsty finished his juvenile campaign with a breakthrough victory at Cork and there is likely more to come. However, he lacks a recent run and a penalty demands more of him. With that in mind, it could be worth chancing SILKY LASS, who has reached the frame on her last two outings and won't be found wanting for fitness. Henry Halflight and Lakota Chief are others of interest.

The form of L L KOULSTY's Cork win looks strong and he can defy a penalty. Lakota Chief may be best of the rest.

Effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on heavy and good; inconsistent but remains on a competitive mark. Three-time winner, most recently on penultimate start; inconsistent otherwise.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/3 +52%) Snow Dragon		3.333333 10/3(+52%)																															(4) Snow Dragon 10/3, Travelled well but did not find much after a bad error when fourth, beaten 13l, in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft, and in fair form; should go well again. Maiden who has consistent form figures this season; reasonably solid.

Trainer in form; best around 2m-2m4f, acts on soft and good, and in form. Proved suited by 2m4f when scoring at Sedgefield last time; unexposed at this trip.

NATIONAL QUESTION received just a 3lb rise after his win at Sedgefield and the consistent six-year-old is a tempting proposition on these terms. Velvet Vulcan also scores highly on that criteria and is dangerous to underestimate as he gets weight all round. Cher Tara completes the shortlist after posting an improved display when third of 16 in this grade at Newcastle last month. That was only her second start since joining Daragh Bourke and there could be more to come.

Kept to this distance, NATIONAL QUESTION may follow up his Sedgefield win. Gemini Man is second choice.

Won his only bumper start, strong handicap hurdle form at around 2m4f, lacks a recent run.

5th	14 5th (14) (80/1 -60%) Justabitofyours		80 80/1(-60%)																															(14) Justabitofyours 80/1, Race may have come a bit soon when down the field in a beginners' chase at Galway most recent. Plenty more is needed in this sort of event. Second in a three-runner chase last May, nothing else of much note in her form.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/2 +35%) Raydamann		5.5 11/2(+35%)																															(3) Raydamann 11/2, Again below form when down the field in a handicap at Leopardstown most recent. Trainer is in form and he returns from a break, but is unproven beyond 11f on the Flat and stamina has to be proven. Flat maiden, maiden hurdle winner, found wanting in handicaps, might prefer better ground.

Off a short break, effective around 2m with cut and could figure. Spent a long time on the sidelines after a maiden hurdle win in 2023, tailed off on return.
10th	7 10th (7) (7/1 +56%) Along The Way		7 7/1(+56%)																															(7) Along The Way 7/1, Made a modest chase debut and needed the run when down the field in a beginners' chase at Gowran Park most recent. Off a short break and effective at 2m on yielding ground, but has a bit to find. Maiden over hurdles, down the field in a beginners' chase at Gowran in November.
11th	13 11th (13) (33/1 +18%) Fair Damsel		33 33/1(+18%)																															(13) Fair Damsel 33/1, Poor return to the Flat when down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent. Returning from a break, effective up to 12f with cut but a bounce back is needed. Modest form on the Flat, won a maiden hurdle in 2024 after the favourite fell at the last.

Effective up to 2m1f on the Flat in his younger days but difficult to fancy. Winner on AW early in his career, has been struggling over hurdles in recent times.

JUMP ALLEN won twice over hurdles last spring on varying ground conditions, including over 2m4f at Sandown. The seven-year-old is preferred to The Nagger Reidy, who has also won twice over hurdles, including when well backed on his penultimate start at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival. Dual bumper winner That Danny Feeling could bounce back after disappointing over hurdles here recently, with Raydamann another to consider.

Sonny Carey's useful handicap hurdler THE NAGGER REIDY gets the vote. Likely dangers are Jump Allen and That Danny Feeling.

1	5 1st (5) (6/5 +60%) Digital		1.2 6/5(+60%)																															(5) Digital 6/5, Ran to form despite not enjoying the best of runs when fifth here last time. Trainer in form; effective at 5/6f and goes well off the front. In form and can remain competitive off this mark. Two C&D wins this winter; still looked in form last time when hampered; should be involved.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 +0%) Shatin Venture		12 12/1(+0%)																															(9) Shatin Venture 12/1, Better off a reduced mark when beaten 2l off this rating at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 5f and on a workable mark if building on that latest effort. C&D winner; fair form this winter but a career best will be needed to come out on top.
3	2 3rd (2) (50/1 -100%) Toomuchforme		50 50/1(-100%)																															(2) Toomuchforme 50/1, Again ran to a poor level when well beaten in a handicap at Southwell last time. Visor fitted for the first time; effective at 6f but yet to match her 2yo form. Struggling for current yard; tumbled down weights and now tried in a visor.
4	7 4th (7) (13/2 -95%) Azucena		6.5 13/2(-95%)																															(7) Azucena 13/2, Improved again when second, beaten a neck off 57 last time and now 2lb higher. Suited by 5f and consistent of late. C&D win and a good second at Southwell since blinkers went on; should go well again.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 -13%) La Rochette		9 9/1(-13%)																															(8) La Rochette 9/1, Did her best work late when beaten 1 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Wide draw to contend with and the mark continues to ease. Handicap mark has tumbled and her last two runs have been more promising; not ruled out.
6th	1 6th (1) (17/2 +47%) Correspondence		8.5 17/2(+47%)																															(1) Correspondence 17/2, Returned to form when second, beaten 4l in a novice at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 6/7f; has a bit to prove back in a handicap and down in trip. Second of four in a 6f novice nine days ago, looking a hard ride; others look safer.
7th	10 7th (10) (33/1 +0%) Nazca		33 33/1(+0%)																															(10) Nazca 33/1, Again ran to a poor level when beaten 6l in a classified race here last time. Blinkers fitted for the first time; suited by 6f and hard to fancy. Poor form this winter and the drop in trip/addition of blinkers not enough to tempt.
8th	6 8th (6) (5/1 -67%) Em Jay Kay		5 5/1(-67%)																															(6) Em Jay Kay 5/1, Travelled strongly, ran to form and just did enough to land a handicap by a head off a 2lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Visor fitted for the first time; can again go well. Gained this winter's wins at 6f but ran well over C&D last month; new headgear today.
9th	3 9th (3) (12/1 +40%) Orbital Chime		12 12/1(+40%)																															(3) Orbital Chime 12/1, Well held in a higher grade when eighth, beaten 6 1/4l off 66 last time, and now 2lb lower. Effective at 5-7f and acts on AW; struggling since his autumn win. Good mark on best form but his recent efforts have been underwhelming; needs a revival.

Having followed a close-up third over C&D with a triumph at Lingfield, this could prove a suitable opportunity for EM JAY KAY to double up. A 2lb nudge up the ratings is effectively negated by Connor Planas' 3lb claim and the introduction of a visor may unlock some improvement. Digital has enjoyed a resurgence of late and shouldn't be far away, while Correspondence and Azucena are other key players.

Azucena beat DIGITAL and two other reopposing rivals over C&D last month but the placings may be reversed today.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
