13:30 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (11/4 +8%) Miss Dishy	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(6) Miss Dishy 11/4, Fair hurdler. Bumper winner at Kilbeggan in August. Third of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft, 33/1) 20 days ago. The one to beat. Bumper winner, very pleasing run at Roscommon latest, definite claims down in trip.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/10 +78%) Ma Bess	1.1 11/10(+78%)	(5) Ma Bess 11/10, Promising sort. 28/1, below form 38¾ lengths sixth of 13 to Aruntothequeen in listed bumper at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles and she's open to improvement in this sphere. Point and bumper winner, fourth in sole start over hurdles, shortlisted.
3	9 3rd (9) (15/2 -7%) Vadsa Queen	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(9) Vadsa Queen 15/2, Fair hurdler. Last of 7 in maiden (28/1) at Thurles (16.4f, good) 10 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Excellent second on latest start in this sphere and she merits respect. Bumper winner for former stable, good effort for this yard over timber at Listowel, chance.
4	16 4th (16) (25/1 -14%) The Sugarhill Lady	25 25/1(-14%)	(16) The Sugarhill Lady 25/1, Once-raced maiden. 28/1 and tongue strap on, sixth of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) on NH debut 22 days ago. Solid run on hurdling debut last month at Listowel, could go well, check the market.
5th	8 5th (8) (125/1 +17%) Spricklestown	125 125/1(+17%)	(8) Spricklestown 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 125/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (25f, good) 58 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Mild promise in a bumper on debut, poor both starts over hurdles, watch down in trip.
6th	14 6th (14) (25/1 0%) Paudie's Wings	25 25/1(0%)	(14) Paudie's Wings 25/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 14 in bumper at Naas (16f, soft) on debut 9 months ago. Makes hurdles debut. Promise in a Naas bumper in January, off since, bred for further than this, watch.
7th	2 7th (2) (5/1 +50%) Clever Minded	5 5/1(+50%)	(2) Clever Minded 5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, sixth of 15 in bumper at Galway (16.7f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Tongue strap enlisted for this hurdles debut and she could have a part to play if her jumping passes the test. Promise in Galway bumper on debut, dam well-related, worth a market check; tongue tied.
8th	1 8th (1) (50/1 +0%) Broomfield Gale	50 50/1(+0%)	(1) Broomfield Gale 50/1, Modest hurdler. 100/1, fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.9f, good) 17 days ago. 0-10 under Rules, moderate form since decent run in a Tramore bumper, others more likely.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 +33%) Biddynora	22 22/1(+33%)	(10) Biddynora 22/1, Shantou filly. Dam 17f hurdle/chase winner in France. Entitled to come on for the run. Nicely bred Shantou filly, cheaply bought, trainer respected at this track, check market.
10th	15 10th (15) (100/1 -52%) Sallap	100 100/1(-52%)	(15) Sallap 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in bumper at Listowel (16f, soft, 50/1) on NH debut 23 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Tailed off on debut in a Listowel bumper, in good hands but may need more time.
11th	4 11th (4) (200/1 -33%) Kitty Ooru	200 200/1(-33%)	(4) Kitty Ooru 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, eighth of 9 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.6f, good to soft) on NH debut 12 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Well-beaten at 66-1 on her debut at Galway, may need more time.
12th	13 12th (13) (200/1 -33%) Midnight Eagle	200 200/1(-33%)	(13) Midnight Eagle 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, pulled up in bumper at Listowel (16f, soft) 23 days ago, losing touch before halfway. Makes hurdles debut. No impact in two bumpers, tailed off and pulled up, hard to fancy.
13th	12 13th (12) (66/1 -100%) Chapter Thirty	66 66/1(-100%)	(12) Chapter Thirty 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. Fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft, 100/1) 14 days ago. Needs to take a sizeable step forward. Best run to date on latest at 100-1 but still beaten 16.5l, probably needs more to win.
14th	7 14th (7) (200/1 -33%) Restless Lady	200 200/1(-33%)	(7) Restless Lady 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy). Off 9 months and she's hard to fancy. Huge odds and well-beaten both starts over hurdles, different ground now but hard to fancy.

BLUE MOSQUE is a half-sister to her trainer's two black-type performers Sixshooter and She's A Star and showed plenty ability in winning on debut last April. She debuts over jumps today but that Naas form is working out well with the third, fifth and seventh-placed horses scoring subsequently while the previously point-to-point-placed runner-up had been well touted. Ma Bess was beaten 39 lengths in a recent Listed bumper but had previously shown better form. A point-to-point winner, she defeated two subsequent dual winners when scoring at Wexford and is forgiven a below-par hurdling debut run at that track in late August as she blundered badly at the first flight. Bumper winner Miss Dishy has recent form and can place.

BLUE MOSQUE got on top close home when making a winning start to her career in a Naas bumper and, with with the strong possibility of better to come from this 4-y-o now tackling hurdles, she gets the nod. Miss Dishy is the pick of those with experience in this sphere and she is clear second choice ahead of Ma Bess and Vadsa Queen.

BLUE MOSQUE is preferred. She won her bumper well, she is related to a couple of talented hurdlers and this looks a weakish race.

13:40 Kempton Conditions Hurdle (Class 3) 16f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (9/4 +25%) Model Approach	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(1) Model Approach 9/4, Fairly useful maiden on Flat for Jim Bolger and has made a bright start to his hurdle career, confirming the promise of his opening Market Rasen third when making all by 19 lengths at Sedgefield 3 days later. Looks sure to go well. 3rd at Market Rasen; easily made all at 4-11 at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) three days later.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/1 -331%) Usuario Amigo	7 7/1(-331%)	(5) Usuario Amigo 7/1, Pretty useful on the Flat, getting off the mark in a 7f Brighton maiden last month. Raced keenly in cheekpieces on that occasion and they are replaced by a hood now hurdling. Stamina not assured. The clear best of these (pretty useful) on Flat form, albeit over just 7f/1m; now hooded.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 +15%) Justice Roll	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(4) Justice Roll 11/2, Fair on the Flat in France, winning a 13f maiden at Chateaubriant (good to soft) in June. The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdling. Wore cheekpieces when winning a maiden at Chateaubriant (1m5f, soft) in June last time.
4	3 4th (3) (1/1 +71%) Cracker Star	1 1/1(+71%)	(3) Cracker Star 1/1, Fairly useful 1½m Flat winner for Richard Hughes. Interesting hurdle debutant for in-form Harry Derham. Carries his rather head high but fair Flat form for R Hughes and is tongue tied first time.
5th	6 5th (6) (80/1 -60%) Jalea's Quest	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Jalea's Quest 80/1, Modest maiden on Flat (stays 11.5f). Likely outsider on hurdle debut. Modest maiden at best in her six-race Flat career, second in 11.4f handicap.
6th	2 6th (2) (66/1 -65%) Charles Morin	66 66/1(-65%)	(2) Charles Morin 66/1, Modest handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) who doesn't strike as an obvious one to make a winning start over hurdles. Modest Flat form, winning over 1m1f and running respectably over various trips since.

Model Approach took a big step forward from his first start over hurdles when bolting up at Sedgefield earlier in the month and he should mount a serious challenge, despite his 6lb penalty. However, the vote goes to USUARIO AMIGO, who is rated the highest of these on the Flat and shed his maiden tag at Brighton last time. If he can transfer that ability to the smaller obstacles, he could be the one to beat. Cracker Star completes the shortlist.

MODEL APPROACH was impressive at Sedgefield and is taken to put his experience to good use. The chief threat may come from Harry Derham's Cracker Star as there have to be slight doubts about the talented Usuario Amigo staying the trip over hurdles.

Sedgefield winner Model Approach has the considerable advantage of hurdle-race experience but CRACKER STAR is tentatively preferred.

13:50 Leopardstown Maiden 9f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (1/3 +76%) Finsceal Luas	0.333333 1/3(+76%)	(8) Finsceal Luas 1/3, Fairly useful filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. 2/1, creditable second of 11 in maiden at Naas (7f, good to soft) 8 days ago, clear of rest. Back up in trip. Sets the bar pretty high. Return to this trip to suit and possibly her best chance yet.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -50%) Molto Amichi	5 5/1(-50%)	(3) Molto Amichi 5/1, €8,000 2-y-o, Caravaggio gelding. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 2m (stayed 2½m) Patkai. Promising third of 14 in maiden (100/1) at Punchestown (9.2f, good) on debut 33 days ago, nearest finish. Should improve. Promising recent Punchestown debut over this trip; seems sure to improve from that.
3	6 3rd (6) (25/1 -213%) Auburn Avenue	25 25/1(-213%)	(6) Auburn Avenue 25/1, Fair filly. 9/2, below form fourth of 12 in maiden at Naas (8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Fair form in maidens and handicaps although will do well to make the frame.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 -38%) Duchess Wannabe	11 11/1(-38%)	(7) Duchess Wannabe 11/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 11 in maiden (18/1) at Naas (8f, good). Off 116 days. Promise on both runs in decent maidens in early summer; one to consider.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -20%) Woodlander	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Woodlander 12/1, Profitable gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 6f winner Wood Ranger and 2-y-o 5f winner Dandys Ocean. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Related to winners over shorter; market likely best guide on debut.
6th	2 6th (2) (250/1 -150%) Kalash	250 250/1(-150%)	(2) Kalash 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, tenth of 12 in maiden at Naas (8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Towards the rear in recent maidens at Killarney and Navan; eligible for a mark after this.
7th	1 7th (1) (125/1 -150%) Baba Sue	125 125/1(-150%)	(1) Baba Sue 125/1, Moohaajim gelding. Dam placed at 6f-1m out of winning half-sister to useful 1½m-1¾m winner (stayed 2m) Shu Lewis. 5yo best watched on belated debut.

MOLTO AMICHI was an unconsidered 100/1 chance when making a very promising debut over this trip at Punchestown last month. The Eoin Griffin-trained gelding showed plenty of inexperience before keeping on into third behind Ard Na Mara and looks sure to progress with that run under his belt. Finsceal Luas appears versatile in terms of ground conditions and is the obvious threat. She filled the runner-up spot for the third time this season at Naas last weekend, but is proving expensive to follow. Duchess Wannabe has scope for further improvement, while any market move for Woodlander would be significant.

A good opportunity for FINSCEAL LUAS to finally get off the mark. Molto Amichi belied market weakness when a promising third at Punchestown on debut and is the obvious threat.

A weak maiden for the venue and seemingly the best chance yet for the superbly-bred FINSCEAL LUAS to get a winning bracket

14:00 Sedgefield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (7/2 +50%) Zwicky	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(3) Zwicky 7/2, Multiple hurdles winner last year and positive start in this sphere when 3 lengths third in a Hexham handicap in May. Failed to complete on his second go over fences there the following month but worth another chance. Unseated latest; even with a clear round, he might now find this trip on the sharp side.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 +15%) Goodtimes Badtimes	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(5) Goodtimes Badtimes 11/2, Modest winner at 24f over hurdles and similar form 3 starts over fences this summer, though not seen since being treated for post-race heat stress in July. On a workable mark in this sphere. Chases May-July last three starts, showing enough on last two occasions to warrant respect.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 -43%) Tom Creen	5 5/1(-43%)	(1) Tom Creen 5/1, Back-to-back winner here last season, including on comeback in this race. Held form well after and excuses on final run. Should go well. All four wins over fences were at Sedgefield, including this race last year; strong player.
4	4 4th (4) (11/4 +50%) Faha Belle	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(4) Faha Belle 11/4, Irish point winner who often gives her running but is 0-12 under Rules. Should make a chaser at least. Minor honours in handicap hurdles; needs to find extra on this chase debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 -14%) The Paddy Pie	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) The Paddy Pie 16/1, Hinted at a revival when fourth of 12 in a Doncaster handicap in December but followed that with 3 heavy defeats. Others preferred. Thrown in on old chase form but last win was December 2022; bits of form in last 18 months.
6th	9 6th (9) (20/1 +29%) Buck Of Maine	20 20/1(+29%)	(9) Buck Of Maine 20/1, Maiden who made no impression at Stratford last time and is up against it from out of the handicap. 13-race maiden; 8lb out of the handicap today, with different headgear.
8	8 \|F\| (8) (33/1 -18%) Chantilly Rose	33 33/1(-18%)	(8) Chantilly Rose 33/1, No great shakes over hurdles and not much better in 2 starts over fences. Has since left Dan Skelton and opposable from out of the handicap. Eight-race maiden, last seven (two chases) for Dan Skelton; 5lb out of the handicap.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (9/2 +36%) Swift Reply	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(7) Swift Reply 9/2, Poor maiden hurdler who needs to improve for the switch to fences to make an impact (unseated on his only start in points). Second here in January and back-to-form second at Kelso two weeks ago; this is chase debut.

All four of TOM CREEN's previous wins under Rules were posted at this venue, including a dominant display when he landed this race 12 months ago. Mainly consistent in subsequent starts, a 13lb higher mark does demand more of the Sam England-trained gelding, but this circuit can take some mastering and his expertise creates hope for another big run. Fellow course winner Zwicky is feared most, although Jac Jumper has shown promise in this discipline and should find the trip well within his compass.

JAC JUMPER was run out of things only late on at Worcester last time and is taken to hold on this time back down in class. The likeable Tom Creen made a winning return in this race last year so is an obvious threat, while Zwicky is worth another chance to build on his chase bow.

While Goodtimes Badtimes and Jac Jumper should get seriously involved, the safest option for win purposes may be TOM CREEN.

14:05 Limerick Maiden Hurdle 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (5/2 +82%) Ballybrittas	2.5 5/2(+82%)	(1) Ballybrittas 5/2, Once-raced maiden under Rules. 14/1, fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 69 days ago. This dual point winner will be an each-way player here if able to build on that. Won twice in points for Caroline McCaldin, likely to improve from a Ballinrobe run.
2	2 2nd (2) (14/1 +79%) Cascade Hall	14 14/1(+79%)	(2) Cascade Hall 14/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Cork (18.4f, good to soft, 14/1) on NH debut 76 days ago. Dropped away from three out after almost losing his footing on debut at Cork in August.
3	12 3rd (12) (9/4 +97%) On Your Way	2.25 9/4(+97%)	(12) On Your Way 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 16 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Listowel (18f, soft) 23 days ago, not knocked about. Sizeable step forward needed. Modest form last season, big price when a remote ninth on seasonal return at Listowel.
4	7 4th (7) (17/2 +89%) Ifyouaskme	8.5 17/2(+89%)	(7) Ifyouaskme 17/2, Out of an unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (2½m-2¾m winner) Sunami Storm and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Future All Star. Entitled to come on for the run. Half-brother to the talented The Jukebox Man, makes belated debut at the age of eight.
5th	16 5th (16) (16/1 +60%) Wee Aloysius	16 16/1(+60%)	(16) Wee Aloysius 16/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 16/1) on NH debut 24 days ago. Never in contention first time out at the Listowel festival, best watched at present.
6th	4 6th (4) (8/1 +88%) Healdsburg	8 8/1(+88%)	(4) Healdsburg 8/1, Once-raced maiden. 18/1, fifth of 12 in bumper at Listowel (20f, soft) on NH debut 25 days ago. Will need to leave that form well behind if he's to make a winning hurdles debut. Failed to complete in two starts in points, may improve from a fair bumper run at Listowel.
7th	13 7th (13) (25/1 +69%) Shanroe Nancy	25 25/1(+69%)	(13) Shanroe Nancy 25/1, €17,000 3-y-o, Rule of Law gelding. Dam, modest maiden hurdler, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Geordie des Champs. Chances are he'll come on for the run. Third foal, dam placed over hurdles, half-sister to two useful bumper/jumps winners.
8th	3 8th (3) (11/1 +86%) Garde My Fortune	11 11/1(+86%)	(3) Garde My Fortune 11/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Niccolai, stayed 21f, and fair hurdler Aazza. Market should point the way. Half-brother to winners Aazza and Niccolai, dam a French hurdle/chase winner.
9th	9 9th (9) (150/1 +25%) Like A Bumblebee	150 150/1(+25%)	(9) Like A Bumblebee 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, good, 50/1) on NH debut 15 days ago, tailed off when pulled up after 3 out. 50-1 when pulled up on debut at Gowran, can be safely ruled out.
8	8 \|F\| (8) (8/1 +90%) Ivasecret	8 8/1(+90%)	(8) Ivasecret 8/1, Fair Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 18/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 9 days ago, slowly away. Little impact both previous starts in this sphere. Five-time AW winner, also won at Laytown last month, struggled in two hurdle runs in 2023.
10th	19 10th (19) (22/1 +45%) Opposite Ends	22 22/1(+45%)	(19) Opposite Ends 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (18f, soft) 23 days ago. RESERVE. Reserve, modest form in maidens, more likely as a handicap prospect in due course.

SPORTING GLORY is a lightly-raced eight-year-old but showed smart ability in his belated debut season and was sold last May as part of the Clipper Logistics dispersal sale, for 120,000 pounds. His bumper form is strong and having dipped his toe into late-season hurdling in a Fairyhouse Grade 2 last March, should now take the beating debuting for a new yard. Taponthego has been withdrawn from two recent maiden hurdles and while he is a notable runner on his debut for new connections, needs to be smart to beat the selection. Wrecking Ballbilly had good bumper form in 2023 but is probably best watched on his hurdles' debut following a 345-day layoff.

This looks ripe for SPORTING GLORY, who made it third time lucky in bumpers at Fairyhouse last season prior to a very promising hurdling debut in a Grade 2 at the same course. He makes his debut for the Gordon Elliott yard in far less exalted company and will likely prove hard to beat. Taponthego showed promise on his completed start in maiden points and is preferred to Wrecking Ballbilly for forecast purposes.

A late-developing bumper winner for Pat Fahy last season, SPORTING GLORY could be a cut above these rivals.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (2/1 +43%) Idy Wood	2 2/1(+43%)	(2) Idy Wood 2/1, Scored twice in novice hurdles last season, also twice making the placings in Grade 2 events across the season. Ended the campaign on a low-key note but he was an expensive purchase from the pointing field and it'd be no surprise if he made an equally useful chaser. Useful novice hurdler last season and looks well handicapped for this chasing debut.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 -100%) Lime Drop	11 11/1(-100%)	(6) Lime Drop 11/1, Filled the runner-up spot on 4 of her first 5 starts over fences, though is still yet to fully convince with her jumping and wasn't quite at her best when last seen at Cheltenham on her final outing last term. Still shouldn't be ruled out in this company. Five-time hurdle winner who ran some good races in defeat during first season over fences.
3	1 3rd (1) (15/8 -36%) Alien Storm	1.875 15/8(-36%)	(1) Alien Storm 15/8, Fairly useful sort over hurdles but surpassed that form at the first attempt over fences when winning a 5-runner handicap chase at Plumpton (17f, good) 28 days ago. Very much looked a natural there and is open to further improvement, an 8 lb rise unlikely to overburden him. Fairly useful hurdler who exploited a favourable mark to win on seasonal/chase debut.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -108%) Lipa K	25 25/1(-108%)	(3) Lipa K 25/1, Made a fine start over fences for his new yard when landing a pair of 2m4f Bangor handicaps but his jumping has proved a major issue since, again producing an error-strewn round at Sedgefield earlier this month. Cheekpieces go onn and could still feasibly treated if more fluent this time. Dual chase winner in spring but not much has gone to plan since; cheekpieces now added.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/3 +58%) Sun Joy	3.333333 10/3(+58%)	(5) Sun Joy 10/3, Opened account over hurdles at Huntingdon in January but seemed to find testing ground too much when pulled up at Exeter next time. Folded as if amiss at Punchestown after and he has something to proves switched to chasing for his comeback now. Hurdle winner in January; ended last season in poor form but comes here fresh; chase debut.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (14/1 +30%) Diplomatic Ash	14 14/1(+30%)	(4) Diplomatic Ash 14/1, Out of a half-sister to Minella Indo and made a promising start when placed both outings in novice hurdles. Disappointing in 2 handicaps subsequently, and he's probably worth a check in the betting switched to chasing after 7 months off. Well beaten in both handicap hurdles but can still get career back on track.

ALIEN STORM made a strong impression when winning on chase debut at Plumpton last month and he might have plenty more to offer. Charlie Longsdon's six-year-old was given an 8lb rise for that success, which could prove to be on the lenient side. Idy Wood finished third in a Grade 2 event over hurdles at this venue in February and is an interesting contender on his first start over fences, while Lipa K is another to keep an eye on.

ALIEN STORM was a convincing winner at Plumpton on his chasing debut and Charlie Longsdon's gelding can build on that fluent performance to score again from an 8 lb higher mark. Idy Wood made the frame on both of his starts in points and is a respected chase newcomer, whilst Lime Drop showed enough last season to also prove competitive here.

Dual hurdle winner IDY WOOD is well handicapped for this chasing debut and has potential too. He gets the vote.

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (2/1 +11%) Norwalk Havoc	2 2/1(+11%)	(5) Norwalk Havoc 2/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Latest win at Gowran in April. 14/1, creditable ninth of 31 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good to soft) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Expected to be bang there. Smart form in very competitive handicaps, acts on soft and well worth a shot at Listed.
2	9 2nd (9) (3/1 +73%) Uncanny	3 3/1(+73%)	(9) Uncanny 3/1, Upped his game when landing 12-runner maiden at Naas (8f, good to soft, 11/8) 8 days ago, driven clear. More required but worth a try at this level. Recent Naas maiden winner quite likely has more to offer but takes a big step up in grade.
3	10 3rd (10) (33/1 +18%) Vasda	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Vasda 33/1, Fairly useful filly. Creditable 4 lengths sixth of 16 to Azada in listed race at Naas (8f, good to soft, 66/1) 7 days ago, faring best of those held up. Trainer going well. Beaten 4l in Naas Listed a week ago; more needed here to make the frame.
4	7 4th (7) (10/1 +38%) Kayhana	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Kayhana 10/1, Fairly useful filly. Creditable 5¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Curvature in listed race at Listowel (9f, good to soft, 17/2) 26 days ago. Listowel Listed fourth her best run yet; more on her plate here though.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 +36%) Bright Stripes	7 7/1(+36%)	(3) Bright Stripes 7/1, Useful colt. 14¼ lengths last of 9 to Bellezza in Diamond Stakes at Dundalk (10.7f, 8/1) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs to bounce back. Tame AW debut effort since but claims on best form and acts on soft.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 +44%) Independent Expert	28 28/1(+44%)	(6) Independent Expert 28/1, Useful mare. Bit below form 5½ lengths tenth of 16 to Azada in listed race at Naas (8f, good to soft, 28/1) 7 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Well held in Listed company latest and lots to find on ratings here.
7th	1 7th (1) (3/1 +0%) Power Under Me	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Power Under Me 3/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 14-runner Concorde Stakes at Tipperary (7.4f, soft, 15/2) 14 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Fleur De Chine, kept up to work. Not taken lightly. 2022 winner in fine form at Tipperary a fortnight ago; ground again to suit so big chance.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -14%) Mundi	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Mundi 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. 4/1, 7¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Curvature in listed race at Listowel (9f, good to soft) 26 days ago, needing stiffer test. More required but needs respecting based on connections. Brother to Churchill has struggled since AW maiden win in April; hard to fancy.

POWER UNDER ME relishes soft ground and gained a seventh career win at Tipperary last time. The Ger Lyons-trained gelding won this race in 2022 and appears as good as ever judged on that latest effort. Atlantic Coast also ticks plenty of boxes as he's very effective on this surface, has winning course form and also comes here on the back of a Listed win at Saint-Cloud earlier this month. Bright Stripes beat Norwalk Havoc on testing ground over a mile at the Curragh this spring, although Jessica Harrington's charge may now prove a greater threat having run well last time from a bad draw in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket.

POWER UNDER has left the impression he may well be back to his best lately, in which case he's a major player. Atlantic Coast may do better still and Norwalk Havoc is of definite interest having been first home on the 'wrong' side in the Cambridgeshire.

Winner of this race in 2022, POWER UNDER ME showed himself to be in fine fettle at Tipperary recently and can go in again

Goes hurdling now and rates a big player. 1m2f Flat winner (RPR 75); leading player if taking to hurdles at the first attempt.
2	3 2nd (3) (50/1 +0%) Popa Rich	50 50/1(+0%)	(3) Popa Rich 50/1, 125/1, sixth of 7 in juvenile hurdle over C&D (good) on his NH debut 19 days ago. Significantly more is required. Has a Flat pedigree and he was tailed off at 125-1 on recent debut over C&D (good).
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 +17%) Path Of Stars	5 5/1(+17%)	(5) Path Of Stars 5/1, Well beaten in an AW Flat maiden for the Crisford stable in May and first show in a trio of hurdling events when third of six in 2m1f Fontwell juvenile last time. Needs to build on it. Well beaten all 4 starts but has shown some ability and this may take very little winning.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 -227%) Sweet Soul Music	9 9/1(-227%)	(4) Sweet Soul Music 9/1, A modest maiden at best on Flat but he failed to beat a rival in 1m Newcastle handicap 40 days ago. Possibilities on his debut in this sphere. Tailed off on both Flat runs this year but trainer does well with juvenile hurdlers.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (33/1 -32%) Delayed Charm	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) Delayed Charm 33/1, Showed little form in noivces/handicap on Flat for Anthony Carson last winter. Sold for only 1,600 gns in July so need lots more now going hurdling. Displayed very little across his 4 Flat starts; may be best watched on hurdle/stable debut.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

CONTINUANCE achieved the highest rating of those to have raced on the Flat and is hardly overburdened for his debut run on the NH scene. The son of Postponed is forwarded as the first to consider in a race where the betting should be informative. Brian Ellison won this in 2019 with a hurdling newcomer and his Sweet Soul Music is next on the list for consideration. Path Of Stars and Popa Rich need steps forward, but should be taken seriously if attracting support.

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a very good opportunity for Martin Keighley's fair Flat winner CONTINUANCE to make a winning start in this sphere. Sweet Soul Music appeals as the one to chase home the selection as he starts out hurdling ahead of Path of Stars.

This may take very little winning and Flat scorer CONTINUANCE earns the vote on his hurdle debut. Path Of Stars is second choice.

1	13 1st (13) (3/1 +79%) Spring Meadow	3 3/1(+79%)	(13) Spring Meadow 3/1, Unreliable type. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Hooded for 1st time, fell in handicap hurdle at Listowel (18f, soft, 10/1) won by King Kali 25 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Ground possibly too soft when falling on latest, these conditions will suit better, chance.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +71%) Dream In The Park	4 4/1(+71%)	(1) Dream In The Park 4/1, First run since leaving Emma Lavelle when sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 14/1) 22 days ago. Becoming well treated and therefore not completely ruled out. Ground too soft on stable debut, quicker conditions will suit better, chance if stays dry.
3	12 3rd (12) (50/1 +24%) Pipers Meadow	50 50/1(+24%)	(12) Pipers Meadow 50/1, 25/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.6f, good) 58 days ago. Others make more appeal. Has lost form since maiden hurdle win in 2021, hard to make a case for on recent showings.
4	18 4th (18) (14/1 +44%) Massabielle	14 14/1(+44%)	(18) Massabielle 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, good) 13 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Promise in last two maiden hurdle runs, interesting handicap debutante, watch the market.
5th	19 5th (19) (5/1 +80%) Le Fanu	5 5/1(+80%)	(19) Le Fanu 5/1, Good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Listowel (18f, soft) 22 days ago. RESERVE. Good fourth on soft at Listowel last month, could go well if there is enough rain; reserve.
6th	9 6th (9) (8/1 +76%) Phoenix Cowboy	8 8/1(+76%)	(9) Phoenix Cowboy 8/1, 33/1, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (24.1f, soft) 20 days ago. Readily passed over. Best effort over hurdles came over C&D, 5lb lower now, poor recent form but can't discount.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -14%) Ladiam	16 16/1(-14%)	(10) Ladiam 16/1, Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 16 months and takes a drop in trip here. Capable of a bold show but reasonable to expect that he'll come on for the run. In decent form when last seen in 2023, on a fair mark but probably best watched.
8th	2 8th (2) (8/1 +33%) Kells Priory	8 8/1(+33%)	(2) Kells Priory 8/1, Latest at Killarney in July. 7/1, ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at that course (22.4f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Claims if he puts his best foot forward. Won off 6lb lower in July, poor latest but drop back in trip here a plus, can't discount.
9th	14 9th (14) (17/2 +58%) Cosmic Rock	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(14) Cosmic Rock 17/2, Course winner. 7/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (18f, soft) 22 days ago. Entitled to come on for that run and he enters calculations. Course winner at 2m, fine run over C&D in April, may have needed latest, chance if rains.
10th	11 10th (11) (12/1 +64%) Getabelle	12 12/1(+64%)	(11) Getabelle 12/1, 20/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won back to back handicaps last year, no impact in 2024, cheekpieces off, others preferred.
11th	7 11th (7) (22/1 +56%) Big Debates	22 22/1(+56%)	(7) Big Debates 22/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 24 days ago. Back up in trip and this 11-y-o is basically opposable. Two-time course winner, unable to exploit lower hurdling mark recently, needs soft ground.
12th	17 12th (17) (100/1 -100%) A Year Older	100 100/1(-100%)	(17) A Year Older 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Well-beaten on handicap bow at Gowran Park, only down 1lb for that, may need more time.
13th	4 13th (4) (28/1 -75%) Robyndeglory	28 28/1(-75%)	(4) Robyndeglory 28/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Tramore (21f, soft). Off 10 months ahead of this debut for new yard and it's probably best to look elsewhere this time. Five-time hurdles winner, pulled up when last seen in a point, watch on stable debut.

BILLY LEE SWAGGER performed consistently well in his most recent handicap hurdle runs last winter and could well progress further, being just a five-year-old. Very much proven on testing ground, he also showed a liking for yielding when finishing a useful fourth in a big-field Punchestown festival handicap in April and a reproduction of that would give him every chance. In For The Night seemed to benefit from reverting back up in distance when winning at Gowran recently and while has has been raised 8lb, should again compete. King Kali is out of a Grade 3-winning dam and, since returning from a layoff last season, has shown good recent form and is well suited by soft ground.

It took a dozen attempts for IN FOR THE NIGHT to get his head in front but the manner of his recent breakthrough success at Gowran suggests that there is more to come, Indeed, an 8 lb rise is unlikely to be enough to prevent him from going in again. Billy Lee Swagger has low mileage and will be a serious player if fully tuned-up for this, while Dream In The Park is dangerous to discount having slipped to an attractive mark. King Kali scored at Listowel last time and he also needs a mention.

BILLY LEE SWAGGER ran a cracker in a stronger race when last seen at Punchestown and a repeat of that off the same mark could suffice.

2	2 2nd (2) (6/1 +40%) Canal Court	6 6/1(+40%)	(2) Canal Court 6/1, £30,000 buy after finishing runner-up on third of 3 starts in Irish points (May 11). Half-brother to numerous winners, including high-class chaser Chantry House. It'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of him. From good jumping family; bought for £30,000 after Irish point second in May.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/6 +0%) Seeyouinmydreams	0.666667 4/6(+0%)	(1) Seeyouinmydreams 4/6, Wide-margin point/bumper winner who readily made all in maiden/novice hurdles at Fakenham (2½m) and Worcester (2m) at the start of the summer. Unlikely to get things quite so much her own way here but still taken to complete the hat-trick. Headstrong mare; gained two wide-margin wins in the spring and warrants respect.
4	3 4th (3) (15/2 +6%) Jungle Wood	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(3) Jungle Wood 15/2, €50,000 Cokoriko gelding who is in excellent hands but offered little in a Chepstow bumper on debut 11 months ago. Upped in trip on hurdle bow. Off since a poor bumper debut last October but remains in the care of top stable.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

SEEYOUINMYDREAMS has made light work of her rivals in both starts this year and she sets a lofty standard for the others to aim at. Paul Nicholls' six-year-old might improve further for this extra distance and she could prove tough to beat. Any market confidence behind Circuit Breaker would be interesting on his NH debut and the useful Flat recruit should be the main threat, ahead of Canal Court.

SEEYOUINMYDREAMS likely has more on her plate than when winning twice at the start of the season but is still the one to beat. Useful Flat recruit Circuit Breaker may give her more to do than dual Newton Abbot runner-up Tribal Glory.

The form pick is SEEYOUINMYDREAMS, though Circuit Breaker may prove a serious threat provided he takes well to hurdles.

2	6 2nd (6) (4/1 -14%) Orandi	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Orandi 4/1, Winner at the Curragh in May. Good second of 14 in handicap at Naas (7f, good to soft, 13/2) 8 days ago. Chased home Global Energy at Listowel prior to that. Major chance on recent form, rider's claim could now prove crucial.

8th	2 8th (2) (7/1 -75%) Monasterboice	7 7/1(-75%)	(2) Monasterboice 7/1, Completed a hat-trick in July/August and remained in form since. Good 2¾ lengths third of 9 to Global Energy in handicap (4/1) at Listowel (8f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Listowel third behind Global Energy and Orandi; more needed to reverse that form.

The mile handicap won by Global Energy at Listowel last month looks a key piece of form in the context of this race as the Sheila Lavery-trained gelding beat ORANDI by under a length, with Monasterboice back in third. The runner-up won on soft ground at the Curragh in May and continued a consistent run of form when again second at Naas last weekend, while the booking of Sam Coen leaves him on a nice racing weight. Alessia Fernanda was unlucky in running when bidding to follow up a Cork win, again over a mile, at the Curragh earlier this month, but has a lot more on her plate off this revised rating.

ORANDI is 3 lb better off with Global Energy for a ¾ length defeat at Listowel and that might be enough for him to turn the tables on Sheila Lavery's charge. Alessia Fernanda and Monasterboice are others likely to have a say in a competitive race.

ALESSIA FERNANDA appeared very unlucky at the Curragh last time and can return to the winners' enclosure

Yet to better modest form over hurdles but he did catch the eye from well back when sixth over 2½m here 19 days ago, not knocked about. Back down in trip. Has bigger performances in him over hurdles.

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

The Geordie Ginge usually attracts attention in the betting and again warrants close inspection on debut for a new yard. However, he's been expensive to follow and appears vulnerable to some of the less exposed types, with KOW BOY SIVOLA, a full-brother to high-class chaser Funambule Sivola, forwarded as a strong contender after a promising hurdles debut at Perth. Kabuki and Aire Spray are other potential improvers in a wide-open race.

KABUKI has the potential to take another step forward on the back of his Warwick reappearance and is narrowly preferred to Perth-third Kow Boy Sivola. Sam England Irish bumper recruit Willie Shake Hands may prove best of the rest.

The Lucinda Russell-trained KOW BOY SIVOLA was a promising third on last month's hurdle debut at Perth and gets the nod.

Pulled up in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Clonmel (19.9f, good) 17 days ago, tailed off when pulled up between the third and second-last. Up in trip and would have a chance if able to bounce back.

Switches from Flat to hurdles (below form on latest outing in this sphere). Needs to bounce back. Won a 2m4f chase at Down Royal in April, well beaten over hurdles and on the Flat since.

Improvement could be on the way now pitched into a handicap. Bumper winner, no strength-in-depth in the Sligo maiden in which he was a remote second.

Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Has shown little in maidens, may improve now that she is stepped up in trip.

SIZE FIVE is difficult to assess as his good ground September success at Perth was gained in an ordinary race but he scored effortlessly then. His four-year-old form was itself just average but on his return following 640 days off at Perth, he was well supported and won eased down by 20 lengths. He encounters softer ground today but could prove to be ahead of the handicapper with a 104 rating. Tilloughna and Stellar Symphony are also recent last-time-out winners who stay well, but have more exposed profiles. Georgian Quarter showed some promise when upped in trip at Cork in May but he reappears under top weight on handicap debut.

SIZE FIVE cruised home on his first start following a 21-month absence at Perth and, provided he avoids the dreaded 'bounce' factor, this unexposed 6-y-o looks capable of defying a 12 lb rise in the weights with the distinct promise of better to come. Wa Wa returned to form when hitting the crossbar at Roscommon and he'll be a threat if able to build on that. Lucky Viv won't be far away if on-song, while Georgian Quarter and Midleton Rare are likely improvers now venturing into handicap company.

Noel Kelly's SIZE FIVE has been transformed during a long layoff judging by the ease of last month's Perth win. He can follow up

Needs to get back on track after a break. Below form in three runs this spring but circumstances were not ideal; case can be made.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/4 +21%) Frere D'armes	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(6) Frere D'armes 11/4, A while since his last success, but after 11 weeks off he shaped as if better for the run when third of 6 at Worcester (20f) last month. Return to this shorter trip should suit and he's a major player from his reduced mark. No win since a chase double (one C&D) in November 2022; down the weights; 3rd of 6 latest.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -11%) Beau Balko	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Beau Balko 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler and ran to similar level when opening his chase account at the fourth attempt at Musselburgh in February. Likely to have won again but for a mistake 2 out when third at Ayr in April, so he enters calculations on his return. Looked likely to win at Ayr on final start only to blunder badly two out; same mark today.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 -25%) Holly	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) Holly 10/1, Impressive winner of handicap hurdle at Market Rasen in January and left behind a lesser effort next time when third at Haydock in March. Mistake 3 out knocked her out of contention at Punchestown in May, so she's one to note as she makes her chase debut. Very inconsistent in handicap hurdles; not proven beyond 2m and unraced over fences.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/4 +36%) Persian Time	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(1) Persian Time 9/4, Won 2 of his first 4 starts over fences last season, doubling his tally when rallying for success at this C&D in March. However, well below that level on his final 2 starts of the campaign, so he needs to return at his best after 6 months off. Out of form three of last four runs; however, won C&D handicap in March and is just a 6yo.
6th	2 6th (2) (12/1 -140%) Guy	12 12/1(-140%)	(2) Guy 12/1, Gained a third success of 2023/24 at Hereford in January and bounced back from a poor run when adding to his tally at Kelso in May. After 5 months off, found it tougher from a career-high mark when fourth of 7 back at Kelso 2 weeks ago. More needed. 4-23 over fences, including wins this January and May; has had a recent run; not ruled out.

A tentative vote goes to FRERE D'ARMES, who shaped well for a long way on his return over further at Worcester last month. A previous winner over C&D, the seven-year-old should be suited by dropping back in trip and he may be able to strike at the main expense of Beau Balko, who was consistent in this sphere last season, despite only scoring once. A capable sort over the smaller obstacles, Holly is one to monitor for market support on her chasing bow.

C&D winner FRERE D'ARMES has dropped to a handy mark and, with his recent run behind him, he could be ready to return to winning ways back at this venue. He can get the better of Beau Balko, who shaped as if he should have won at Ayr on his final start last season, while Holly is also considered on her chasing debut.

There are plenty of ifs and buts with this field but BEAU BALKO looks capable of scoring off this mark judged on what he showed at Ayr.

Very creditable fourth in Irish Oaks but took a backward step when well beaten in Group 2.

Creditable 2½ lengths third of 7 to Al Qareem in Cumberland Lodge Stakes (33/1) at Ascot (12f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Should give another good account.

C&D winner. 20/1, good 2¾ lengths second of 6 to Al Qareem in listed race at Chester (12.3f, soft) 36 days ago, running on. Capable of getting involved. Second to rock-solid Group 3 horse at Chester; soft ground may compensate for shorter trip.

Not ruled out. Stays further and likes it soft; 3lb penalty leaves him vulnerable but likely to run well.
8th	10 8th (10) (15/2 -25%) Fleur De Chine	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(10) Fleur De Chine 15/2, Useful filly. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good 1¼ lengths second of 14 to Power Under Me in Concorde Stakes at Tipperary (7.4f, soft) 14 days ago, nearest finish. 7.5f was too short when she came home well in first-time headgear in Tipperary Listed race.

LAYFAYETTE has gained the majority of his nine career wins over this trip and comes here off the back of a solid effort over 1m4f at Ascot, only weakening in the closing stages when third to Al Qareem in the Group 3 Cumberland Lodge. He is weighted to reverse last year's placings in this race with Sunchart, who reverts from hurdling and is well suited by soft ground. Elizabeth Jane finished well when fourth in the Irish Oaks and the Moyglare Stud homebred, who won here on debut in testing ground last autumn, may find this enough of a stamina test on the prevailing ground.

FLEUR DE CHINE shaped well in the Concorde Stakes at Tipperary and could go one better down in grade. Layfayette is an obvious player and Elizabeth Jane can get involved if back to the form she produced in the Irish Oaks.

She has a bit to find on ratings but FLEUR DE CHINE came home well over an inadequate trip at Tipperary and there may be more to come

Remains with potential from this chase mark. Ex-Irish 9yo who has been in good form since joining yard; could make another bold bid.

BIG BEE HIVE has been a revelation since beginning his career over fences at this track in February and going further up in trip should not inconvenience him judging by the most recent evidence at Southwell, when rallying late for second. The seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of Sean Og, who was a highly creditable runner-up at Hexham and has the potential to improve for the rise in distance. Mister Bells and Redbridge Rambler have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

STEPS MATCH has made a fine start to life for new trainer Daragh Bourke and he can build an encouraging recent third at Hexham, travelling with plenty of enthusiam out in front until the track's gruelling latter stages took their tole, his mark having also dropped 2 lb in the interim. Sean Og finished one place ahead of the selection last time and has to be respected again, with Redbridge Rambler also fancied to step forward from his chase debut.

Top of the list is REDBRIDGE RAMBLER, who was progressive in staying handicap hurdles and goes back up in trip in his second chase.

HORANTZAU D'AIRY's chances are obvious having finished second to Flooring Porter in last month's Kerry National, with the pair pulling clear of the remainder. Being a keen-goer, he had previously been kept to shorter distances but has settled better in recent times and stayed this distance well at Listowel. He is proven on soft ground and remains a little unexposed over staying distances. Grade 2 victor Favori De Champdou is likely to have been aimed at this race since his success in an April Grade 3 novice chase over today's course and distance, and is Gordon Elliott's first string. Panda Boy was outclassed in April's Aintree National but had previously finished second in the Paddy Power Chase last Christmas.

It's hard to ignore the claims of HORANTZAU D'AIRY, who proved that this trip is well within his range when a staying-on second to easy winner Flooring Porter in the Kerry National at Listowel last month. He's gone up 4 lb for that but he's unexposed as a stayer and is taken to provide the Willie Mullins yard with a fourth success in this race since 2017. Perceval Legallois and Panda Boy may emerge as the main dangers, though Yeah Man will also be a player if ready to roll.

A fine effort behind the dominant Flooring Porter at Listowel suggests that HORANTZAU D'AIRY now has the credentials for 3m success

A fine second in the Ebor at York before landing 13f Ayr handicap on Flat since. Must enter calculations back in this sphere. Close second in Summer Plate at Market Rasen and in career-best form on the Flat since.
3	2 3rd (2) (28/1 -12%) Authorized Art	28 28/1(-12%)	(2) Authorized Art 28/1, A smart chaser for Willie Mullins who posted a good third in big-field handicap chase at Punchestown (20.4f) in July. Has since changed hands and can't be ruled out back hurdling for his new yard. Smart chaser in Ireland for Willie Mullins; may find 2m too sharp on stable debut.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 -56%) First Street	7 7/1(-56%)	(3) First Street 7/1, A four-time hurdles winner but he failed to match that form sent chasing in the spring, coming in last of five at Bangor (3m) in May. Reverts to this sphere after a break and possibilites with tongue strap back on. Smart at best but below par last season; well beaten over fences in May on latest start.

Back from 19 months off here and others are preferred. Fourth in 2022 Champion Hurdle; lost his way the following season; back from long absence.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +36%) Carrigeen Kampala	18 18/1(+36%)	(8) Carrigeen Kampala 18/1, Scored at Newton Abbot in June and tongue tied when an improved second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to soft) 28 days ago. This demands a clear personal best, though. Ran well in Plumpton handicap last month but needs to take her form to a new level today.
7th	6 7th (6) (50/1 +24%) Parramount	50 50/1(+24%)	(6) Parramount 50/1, A fairly useful winning hurdler who comes here in good form from the Flat, third in handicap at Kempton (11f) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces added. This is no easy ask though. Out of form over hurdles at end of last season but in much better nick on the Flat lately.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (7/4 +36%) Casa No Mento	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(7) Casa No Mento 7/4, Took her form up a level when going 4-5 over hurdles in 2m listed hurdle at Punchestown in May. Yard is among the winners so she's not taken lightly after a break. 4-5 over hurdles, including Listed mares' novice win at Punchestown festival in May.

A taking winner of this contest last year, and runner-up over the same track and trip to Constitution Hill in December, RUBAUD sets the standard. A highly progressive mare last season, which included a Listed success at Punchestown, Casa No Mento looks to be the main danger for in-form connections, while last year's third First Street and Authorized Art are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

A few with chances but Paul Nicholls' consistent RUBAUD captured this prize 12 months ago and is fancied to repeat the feat. Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in great nick so his Casa No Mento rates the chief threat after a break, with Kihavah and First Street both in the mix reverted to this sphere.

Class act RUBAUD overcame a Grade 2 penalty to win this race a year ago and is selected to do so again.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, solid fourth of 7 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft, 8/1) 7 days ago. In the mix with headgear again sported.

Below form sixth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Down Royal (12.8f, soft) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive.

10th	9 10th (9) (28/1 +15%) Harbour Gem	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Harbour Gem 28/1, Winner at Cork in May. 8/1, first run since leaving Dermot Weld when ninth of 11 in handicap at Listowel (9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Too keen at Listowel; handicapper relenting but remains opposable.
11th	18 11th (18) (8/1 -14%) Gandolfo	8 8/1(-14%)	(18) Gandolfo 8/1, Unreliable sort but he readily landed 10-runner maiden claimer at Bellewstown (7.9f, soft, 13/8) 18 days ago. Up in trip.

Off 168 days but he has to be taken seriously at these weights. Won last two starts in the spring; back from summer break with ground in his favour.
20th	6 20th (6) (66/1 -65%) Munroh	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Munroh 66/1, 100/1, last of 12 in minor event at Galway (8.4f, good) 40 days ago, slowly away. Form so far for current trainer poor so very hard to fancy.

Bear Profit had RED TRAIL just over a length behind in third when successful over a similar trip at Naas last Sunday, but the places may now be reversed given softer conditions and the revised ratings. The selection has gained all four previous wins with plenty of cut in the ground at around this distance, and Wesley Joyce takes 5lb off her back. Livio Milo won a Galway Festival maiden last year and was placed twice here earlier this season, while Gandolfo tries this trip for the first time after taking a Bellewstown maiden. Saffronandblue struck form this spring, winning both here and at Sligo, and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market after a five-month break.

This is wide open but SAFFRONANDBLUE looked better than ever when going in at Sligo last time so is taken to make light of a 7 lb rise and complete his hat-trick. Master Dunraven is weighted to have a say and next on the list, with Gibbs Island, Red Trail and Bear Profit also well in the mix. Copie Conforme completes the shortlist.

It may pay to retain the faith in IT'SONLYJUSTBEGUN, who still appears to be learning on the job and finished out her race well at Naas

Stiff task at Worcester on his return, but more needed to better his third in this race last year. 3rd in this last year; another good run on sole start since; remains unexposed over fences.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 +0%) Jerrash	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Jerrash 12/1, Recorded back-to-back wins at Bangor and Market Rasen this summer and good effort when runner-up to Tommie Beau at Cartmel (25.5f) in August. Possibly found race coming too soon a fortnight later at Perth last month, so he's not discounted. Inconsistent this season but won twice in the summer and he's not discounted.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +25%) Tommie Beau	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(1) Tommie Beau 9/2, Won over both sets of obstacles at Cartmel in May and added to his tally back chasing at the same course (25.5f) in August. Runner-up over hurdles at Newton Abbot (21.6f) 5 days later and he can make a bold bid to win this race for second year in succession. Won this last year and has continued to improve, winning three times this season.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (8/1 -60%) Dripsey Moon	8 8/1(-60%)	(2) Dripsey Moon 8/1, Winning hurdler who has taken well to chasing for new connections, showing useful form when landing back-to-back handicaps at Perth (20.1f) in August/September. Again ran well when second of 4 at the same C&D last time and he's a leading contender back up in trip. Has done very well for new yard over fences; goes into the unknown stamina-wise.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (7/1 +30%) Glory And Honour	7 7/1(+30%)	(8) Glory And Honour 7/1, Improved for current yard last season tried again over fences and, after 12 weeks off, also scored on the Flat at Pontefract (18f, heavy) 13 days ago. Has dropped below his last winning mark back in this sphere and he's one to note upped in trip. Unproven at the trip but produced strong staying performance for 2m2f Flat win recently.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (9/1 +25%) We'llhavewan	9 9/1(+25%)	(7) We'llhavewan 9/1, Useful winning hurdler but not at the same level over fences, running poorly at Ballinrobe in May (23.4f). Making first start since leaving Willie Mullins, shaped as if needing the run over hurdles at Uttoxeter 2 weeks ago, though others still preferred. Well treated on hurdle form but jumping has been an issue over fences.

It is difficult to look past proven stamina in a contest of this nature and TOMMIE BEAU provides just that, having won this contest last year. The top-weight has struck four times since and good ground may be a plus as he attempts to retain his crown. Dripsey Moon has not been outside the first two since joining the Donald McCain yard and is a big danger. Runner-up over 3m2f at Newton Abbot on his penultimate start, Hauraki Gulf is another who gives the impression he may relish this extreme test.

DRIPSEY MOON continued his positive start over fences for current yard when bumping into a chasing newcomer at Perth on his latest outing, so he is taken to resume winning ways as he goes back up in distance. He is preferred to last year's winner of the race Tommie Beau, who has continued in fine form this summer, while Glory And Honour could also be in the mix.

Course winner HAURAKI GULF is the selection having hinted he could be well suited by a marathon test. Jesuitique is second choice.

SHANTREUSSE remains on a favourable-looking mark having blundered away his chances in Aintree's Topham Chase in April. Well suited by testing ground, he nonetheless disappointed in the Thyestes Chase in January but bounced back with a good runner-up effort at Naas the following month and ran a fine race at Aintree, considering his bad blunder at the fifth-last fence. Kings Halo disappointed in the aforementioned Naas race but had a veterinary excuse as he returned lame. He was well beaten on his season reappearance at Killarney, that was at an inadequate distance and over hurdles and, last season, had the profile of a progressive type. Invictus Machin is 7lb higher than when winning on yielding to soft ground in August.

This drop back in trip may be a good thing for NATURAL LOOK, who travelled strongly for most of the way when third in a 2¾m Ballinrobe handicap over hurdles last month and she is versatile ground-wise. Invictus Machin opened his chase account at Kilbeggan last time and looks the pick of the Gavin Cromwell-trained quartet. He is feared most ahead of El Champo.

A chance is taken on THE BIG CHAP. He shaped nicely on his last start in this sphere, he has course form and he is ground versatile.

Remains with potential on first run since. Seen only once last season, when second on chase debut in January, but still has potential.

Having offered plenty of encouragement on his chasing bow when second at Newbury in January, BLAIRGOWRIE makes plenty of appeal on his return to action. The lightly-raced eight-year-old will appreciate the return to his last winning trip and he's narrowly preferred to dual C&D winner Killer Kane. Joe Tizzard's charge is now 4lb below his last successful mark and a drop into class 4 company is likely to see him involved. Regarde may fare best of the remainder.

It could be worth chancing KILLER KANE, who often keeps better company than this and starts the new campaign 4 lb below his last winning mark. Poppa Poutine is another who is potentially well treated for his in-form yard having missed the whole of last season, while Blairgowrie has the potential to make up for lost time on the back of his encouraging chase bow at Newbury in January.

Topweight KILLER KANE is not as good as he was but he runs this track very well and will appreciate today's ease in grade.

4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +40%) Akecheta	6 6/1(+40%)	(4) Akecheta 6/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Tipperary in May. Respectable second of 6 in minor event (9/1) at Bellewstown (12.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Debut winner over 7f has performed creditably in small-field conditions contests since.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 +40%) Lips Freedom	12 12/1(+40%)	(2) Lips Freedom 12/1, Won 6-runner listed race at Merano (11.9f, good) 66 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Rex of Thunder. First run for yard after leaving Andreas Suborics. Smart horse when trained in Germany; landed 1m4f Listed contest at Merano in August.
6th	3 6th (3) (17/2 -31%) Soaring Monarch	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(3) Soaring Monarch 17/2, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Listowel (12f, good to soft, 7/2) 27 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Scholarship. Enters calculations. Readily landed Listowel contest with a couple of these rivals behind; 5lb rise seems fair.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -45%) Taipan	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) Taipan 16/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Twenty first of 30 in handicap at the Curragh (16.8f, good to soft, 33/1) 21 days ago. Down in trip. Well held in handicaps over further last twice and trip is on the sharp side for him.
8th	8 8th (8) (17/2 +66%) Oriole	8.5 17/2(+66%)	(8) Oriole 17/2, Latest win at Galway in August. 40/1, respectable fourteenth of 22 in handicap at this course (13f, good) 36 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Won over this trip on soft ground at Galway festival; well held in premier handicap here.
9th	11 9th (11) (15/2 +53%) Morse	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(11) Morse 15/2, Course winner. Winner here in April. Good second of 14 in handicap (66/1) at Down Royal (12.8f, soft) 20 days ago. Others more persuasive. Better effort when stepped up to 1m5f last time when chasing home well-treated rival.
10th	6 10th (6) (5/2 -43%) Autumn Winter	2.5 5/2(-43%)	(6) Autumn Winter 5/2, Promising sort. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (4/6) at Thurles (12.5f, good) 10 days ago, well on top finish. Expected to be bang there. Good run at Royal Ascot and returned from lay-off with workmanlike victory at Thurles.
11th	10 11th (10) (33/1 +0%) Suprise Package	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Suprise Package 33/1, Lightly-raced winner on Flat. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Last of 22 in handicap at this course (13f, good, 33/1) 36 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. 1m5f maiden winner at Ballinrobe but trailed home in premier handicap here last month.

AUTUMN WINTER was placed twice in maidens over a mile on heavy ground, including on his reappearance here in April, and subsequently finished well when beaten less than four lengths in the King George V Handicap at Royal Ascot. He was absent until landing the odds at Thurles earlier this month and has scope for further improvement. Morse won a mile maiden on testing ground here this spring and returned to form when upped significantly in distance at Down Royal last time. Vestigia and Oriole are others who will appreciate the soft ground, while Soaring Monarch beat Scholarship in a similar event at Listowel last month.

AUTUMN WINTER built on the promise of his Royal Ascot run when a ready winner at Thurles 10 days ago and this low-mileage 3-y-o surely has more to offer still. Soaring Monarch looked better than ever when scoring at Listowel and remains unexposed at this trip, so is next best ahead of thriving 3-y-o Masoun.

There should be more to come from the lightly-raced AUTUMN WINTER and he can come forward from his Thurles victory to land this prize

1	5 1st (5) (10/3 +17%) The Navigator	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(5) The Navigator 10/3, Course scorer who resumed winning ways in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Up 4 lb but he's weighted to go well again. Two hurdle wins this season and he's 3-7 here; on the shortlist.
2	2 2nd (2) (13/8 +41%) Jaramillo	1.625 13/8(+41%)	(2) Jaramillo 13/8, Scored over C&D in September but he's an unreliable sort and came in last of 13 in Flat handicap at Kempton (12f) 9 days ago. No surprise to see him get back on track here. Made it 2-2 here with easy C&D win last month; a 9lb rise may well not stop him.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 +45%) Harper Valley	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(3) Harper Valley 11/4, Scored three times last season, including over C&D, and he ran well in first-time cheekpieces when fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f) in May. That form has been franked so big shout off a 2 lb lower mark. Progressive ways stalled in the spring but returns from a break with trainer in good form.
4	4 4th (4) (9/2 +31%) Finisk River	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(4) Finisk River 9/2, Resumed winning ways at Bangor in September and not discredited when fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot (21.6f, good) 30 days ago. Also took this event in 2022 so he's very much one to consider. Won this race in 2022 and at Bangor two starts ago; capable of having a say.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 -175%) Hajey	22 22/1(-175%)	(1) Hajey 22/1, C&D winner but off the track since a rare below-par sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f) in February. Has gone well fresh though so needs considering. First outing since below-par run in February but can go well fresh and has won here twice.

The Navigator bounced back to form when landing the spoils at Kelso a fortnight ago and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, it could be worth taking a chance on C&D winner HARPER VALLEY, who scored on his reappearance here last season. Dual track-and-trip scorer Finisk River, who claimed this prize in 2022, is another who enjoys it at this venue and the veteran shouldn't be far away.

None of these can be ruled out but HARPER VALLEY enjoyed a very good time of it last season and this C&D scorer looks the way to go with the form of his latest Kelso fifth having been well advertised since. Dianne Sayer's versatile course winner The Navigator heads the list of dangers, with 2022 victor Finish River also firmly in the picture.

The Navigator likes it here but preference is for JARAMILLO (nap), who made it 2-2 at Sedgefield with a comfortable win last month.

Big step forward needed on this chase debut. Promise in points and on hurdles debut, chasing debutant, has potential but this a big ask.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +94%) King Of Cong	4 4/1(+94%)	(2) King Of Cong 4/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle here in April. Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. Fourth of 6 in novice chase (40/1) at Listowel (22f, soft) on debut over fences 24 days ago. Looks up against it. 106 rated hurdler, beaten over 100l on chasing debut last month, up against it here.

Jumped well prior to that mistake and he's open to improvement in this sphere. Useful hurdler rated 124, unseated on chasing bow at Galway, place claims if jumps better.

FARREN GLORY is an exciting chasing recruit and is helped by having prior point-to-point experience. Defeated in both pointing starts, he later showed high-class hurdling ability, landing December's Royal Bond Hurdle before falling at the second last - with the race at his mercy - in that month's Tolworth Hurdle at Aintree. He was reported to have had blood at both nostrils following a subsequent February defeat but has been freshened up and returns following a summer holiday. Mint Boy is himself an able 137-rated hurdler and while he won on his only point-to-point start, lacks some of the selection's ability. Little Mixup is rated 125 over hurdles and exited at the seventh fence on his recent chase debut.

Save for his latest effort at Leopardstown in February when clearly far from 100%, FARREN GLORY was a very promising novice hurdler last season and he will surely prove much too good for these rivals, provided his jumping passes the test on this chase debut. Mint Boy and Little Mixup can fill the places.

If FARREN GLORY can replicate his very smart hurdling form on his chasing debut he'll be hard to beat if handling the ground.

Capable of going one better with a reproduction of that form. Lost his form but returned with close call at Stratford recently; big shout on peak form.
2	4 2nd (4) (33/1 +18%) On Springs	33 33/1(+18%)	(4) On Springs 33/1, Temperamental sort who has fallen on his last two starts over fences and, understandably, returns to the smaller obstacles after a break. Off 381 days when well beaten over hurdles in May; then fell twice in chases this summer.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/6 +20%) Far Sight	0.666667 4/6(+20%)	(1) Far Sight 4/6, Bumper winner who showed promise over hurdles for previous trainer and has been progressive for this yard, scoring comfortably at Wincanton 3 days ago. Unlikely runner but would be of interest. Favourite, off the mark as hurdler in good style at Wincanton three days ago; 7lb penalty.
4	2 4th (2) (17/2 +15%) Full Monty	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(2) Full Monty 17/2, Opened his account with a cosy success in a 2½m Uttoxeter maiden (good to firm) in July but hasn't fired since, only seveneth at Worcester 23 days ago, so others make more appeal. Well beaten when 16-1 for handicap debut in a quite valuable race on soft; needs a check.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 +14%) Time To Tinker	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Time To Tinker 12/1, Has spent a long time in the doldrums (last win was gained back in November 2021) but he has stopped the slide to some extent lately, again hitting the frame at Warwick last time. Not ruled out. Way down the weights; minor honours over 2m3f/3m2f last month but others make more appeal.

Generally held form since and made a solid returhn when third at Fontwell last month. Respected. Latest win last November; not disgraced last month after his summer break.
7th	5 7th (5) (20/1 -43%) Thahab Ifraj	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Thahab Ifraj 20/1, On a reduced mark and bounced back when second (in a race he won in 2023) at Exeter 10 days ago. Can be on the premises with a performance of similar merit. 11yo who is 7-36 over hurdles; second of eight at Exeter (2m2f, good) ten days ago.

FAR SIGHT justified strong support in the market when romping to victory at Wincanton on Thursday. Harry Derham's charge scored despite looking green under pressure and he is more than capable of defying a 7lb penalty. The biggest threat may be posed by Rebel Intentions, who returned to form with a close-up second on his reappearance at Stratford 13 days ago. Thahab Ifraj is also forecast to figure after finishing runner-up at Exeter recently.

REBEL INTENTIONS is a tough character when on his game and, if he can repeat the level of performance he showed at Stratford last time, he's a likely winner of this. Far Sight is an obvious threat if participating after 3 days off and Thahab Ifraj probably won't be far away.

Far Sight completing a quick double may seem the most likely outcome but REBEL INTENTIONS (nap) is a strong alternative.

Put back up 6 lb but remains with handicapping scope on peak form. Made the most of a good draw over 1m at Bellewstown; stiff 7f is fine and has her chance.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 +33%) Speckled Meadow	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(1) Speckled Meadow 10/3, Course winner. Latest win here in April. Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 10/3) 58 days ago, not ideally placed. Merits consideration. Softer the better for mare who does well at this time of year; not been far last thrice.

7th	9 7th (9) (50/1 -100%) Master Garvey	50 50/1(-100%)	(9) Master Garvey 50/1, One win from 24 Flat runs. 14/1, seventeenth of 18 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft). Off 166 days. Back down in trip. Good form on heavy early in the season and record when fresh means he can't be ruled out.
8th	2 8th (2) (8/1 -45%) Summer Snow	8 8/1(-45%)	(2) Summer Snow 8/1, Latest win at Gowran in June. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (5/1) at Listowel (7.1f, good to soft) 26 days ago, suited by way race developed. Tongue strap back on.

SPECKLED MEADOW has gained all three wins on testing ground, including when landing a 20-runner mile handicap on her reappearance over a mile here in April. The mare has been given a light enough campaign since and can defy top weight, with Wayne Hassett claiming a valuable 5lb. Summer Snow is well suited by this trip and finished strongly from off the pace when placed behind Ramiro at Listowel last month. Selective Power has struck a rich vein of form this year, including wins over a mile at Naas and the Curragh, but has gone up a total of 20lb in the ratings. Shoot To Kill and Pimstrel are others to note.

SHOOT TO KILL might prove the answer to this finale as his penultimate Killarney second off an identical mark looks a solid piece of form. Speckled Meadow was a place behind the selection in third on that occasion and may give him most to do ahead of recent Bellewstown scorer Pimstrel.

A chance is taken with ROYAL PIPPEN on his third start for Paul Flynn; he hasn't won for ages but shaped with promise at the Curragh

Olly Murphy sends sole representative KARTON PLEIN to this meeting and a big performance is expected. The four-year-old finished a respectable second in a 3m Irish point-to-point in April, but he possesses enough speed in his pedigree to handle this distance and a winning Rules debut is forecast. Swingingonthesteel arrives on the back of a victory between the flags and he is feared most, ahead of newcomer Sam's Falcon.

KARTON PLEIN has shown ability in points and, given his connections, is likely to be tuned up for this Rules debut, so he's preferred to Swingingonthesteel, who won a point bumper in February. Clearisthewater is the best option of those with bumper experience.

Point runner-up KARTON PLEIN makes his first start for Olly Murphy, who does well in bumpers, and is taken to come out on top.

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.
