17:00 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 16f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (0.5/1 +71%) Ballystone	0.5 0.5/1(+71%)	(6) Ballystone 0.5/1, Much impeoved when second of 8 in bumper (16/1) at Cork (19f, good to soft) 51 days ago, travelling best. Makes hurdles debut and he's a very likely sort. Excellent latest bumper effort when pushing a useful one of Gordon Elliott's close at Cork.
2	3 2nd (3) (3.5/1 -17%) Sherodan	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(3) Sherodan 3.5/1, Twice-raced winner in bumpers. Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. Second of 8 in bumper (5/2) at Killarney (16.4f, good), clear of rest. Off 21 months. Makes hurdles debut. Long-time absent but he looked promising in 2021, finishing first and second in bumpers.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -250%) Art Of Silence	14 14/1(-250%)	(1) Art Of Silence 14/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Fair winner at 16f in bumpers. 200/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Cork (10.2f, soft) 25 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Good bumper form at this track; recent Flat defeats can be overlooked.
4	14 4th (14) (80/1 -142%) Lodestar	80 80/1(-142%)	(14) Lodestar 80/1, Kayf Tara mare. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Raya Star and useful hurdle winner up to 19f Jay Jay Reilly. Wears tongue strap. Unplaced completed start in points. Well-beaten favourite in two points and not the obvious answer in a new tongue-tie.
5th	7 5th (7) (25/1 -79%) Camino Rocio	25 25/1(-79%)	(7) Camino Rocio 25/1, Milan gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Judicial Law. Bred to make a hurdler but watching brief seems best first time out.
6th	10 6th (10) (50/1 +38%) Tullybawn	50 50/1(+38%)	(10) Tullybawn 50/1, Shirocco gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler/chaser Littlestickarubarb. Dam unraced half-sister to unreliable/useful chaser (stayed 3¾m) Straidnahanna. Wears tongue strap. Pulled up both starts in points. Pulled up in a couple of points two months apart; tongue-tie added.
7th	9 7th (9) (10/1 +29%) Thornleigh Frank	10 10/1(+29%)	(9) Thornleigh Frank 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 15 in novice hurdle (50/1) at this course (16.6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Ran okay to be sixth over C&D four weeks ago, finishing about 27l off the winner.
8th	15 8th (15) (25/1 +0%) Petit Dejeuner	25 25/1(+0%)	(15) Petit Dejeuner 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifteenth of 18 in bumper at Punchestown (18f, good to soft, 125/1) 32 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Beaten in four bumpers and a maiden hurdle; there have been bits and pieces of promise.
9th	5 9th (5) (16/1 -100%) Lodilomoco	16 16/1(-100%)	(5) Lodilomoco 16/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. Thirteenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (15.8f, good to soft, 66/1) on hurdles bow 26 days ago. Won a good-ground Wexford bumper last August but it wasn't much of a race.
10th	8 10th (8) (150/1 -88%) Max Time	150 150/1(-88%)	(8) Max Time 150/1, Poor hurdler. Seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (16.6f, good to soft, 150/1) 28 days ago. Six defeats in bumpers and two over hurdles, both heavy ones; no appeal.
11th	2 11th (2) (33/1 -200%) Seasett	33 33/1(-200%)	(2) Seasett 33/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making jumps debut. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 9/1). First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Won twice at 1m for different British yards but lost his form on the Flat; 13,000gns buy.
12th	4 12th (4) (100/1 -25%) The Peckhampouncer	100 100/1(-25%)	(4) The Peckhampouncer 100/1, Modest winner at 6f on Flat. 125/1 and tongue strap on, eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 7 days ago, unable to sustain effort High mileage on Flat and his two wins came at sprint distances; nowhere on hurdle debut.
13th	13 13th (13) (200/1 +0%) Dugort Bay	200 200/1(+0%)	(13) Dugort Bay 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 7 days ago. 150-1 when completely tailed off on her switch to hurdling at Punchestown.

Hooded for 1st time, twelfth of 22 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy, 100/1) on hurdles bow 135 days ago. Just minor promise in bumpers and the same again when hooded for her hurdling debut.
15th	11 15th (11) (50/1 -52%) Ballywilliam Girl	50 50/1(-52%)	(11) Ballywilliam Girl 50/1, Barely A Moment mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler Ballywilliam Boy, stays 3m. Dam winning pointer. Wears hood. Pulled up all 3 starts in points. Three non-completions in points and hood is fitted for rules debut; impossible to fancy.

LTO Selection:

BALLYSTONE already has jumping experience from a run in a point-to-point and may be able to get off the mark now switching to hurdles. The Shirocco gelding has been placed twice in three bumper runs and was only denied by a head at Cork last month. That was a big run as he was only collared close home by a decent yardstick in Will Do. Sherodan could be a danger but returns from a long absence. The Hillstar gelding won on debut at Tipperary in July 2021 before chasing home a smart sort in Level Neverending at Killarney the following month. Seasett was a decent sort on the Flat in England, achieving a career high mark of 88 and is one to note on his hurdling debut.

Very likely to go to a hurdling newcomer, with BALLYSTONE, who ran to a high figure when second in a bumper last month, preferred in favour of Sherodan and British Flat recruit Seasett.

Switching to hurdles should be no issue for point runner-up BALLYSTONE who ran so well in his latest bumper.

17:30 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 16f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	15 1st (15) (0.83/1 +31%) Ring O Roses	0.83 0.83/1(+31%)	(15) Ring O Roses 0.83/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 13 in novice hurdle (6/5) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, just failing. Yard in good form. Bold bid expected. Plenty of positives to take from both her starts and she appeals as the solid option here.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.5/1 +50%) The Last Mardi	1.5 1.5/1(+50%)	(3) The Last Mardi 1.5/1, Promising sort. Dual bumper winner. Fair form in 2 outings over hurdles at the end of last summer. Remains capable of better. Should go well on return from break. Two bumper wins and has shown enough in maidens to rate a key player here.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.5/1 +0%) Estepona Sun	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(1) Estepona Sun 3.5/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 16 hurdle runs. 12/1, third of 5 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 19 days ago. Has the form to play another key part here but he's testing the patience.
4	16 4th (16) (33/1 -65%) Bobbisilver	33 33/1(-65%)	(16) Bobbisilver 33/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Cork (19f, good to soft, 16/1) on NH debut 51 days ago, considerately handled. Open to improvement. RESERVE. Reserve; won a mares' maiden point but well held in a Cork maiden hurdle.
5th	8 5th (8) (50/1 +50%) Robin Elite	50 50/1(+50%)	(8) Robin Elite 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, fourth of 8 in bumper at Galway (16.4f, heavy). Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. No more than minor promise in three bumpers and likely to be outclassed in a maiden.
6th	5 6th (5) (150/1 +25%) Old Lonesome Me	150 150/1(+25%)	(5) Old Lonesome Me 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (16.6f, good to soft, 150/1) 28 days ago. No real sign of ability in any of his four starts and remains very opposable.
7th	17 7th (17) (150/1 -88%) Hees Dynamite	150 150/1(-88%)	(17) Hees Dynamite 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, fourteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 18 days ago. RESERVE. Reserve; positives to take from his debut at this track but fared less well at Kilbeggan.
8th	14 8th (14) (150/1 +25%) Nurse Garvey	150 150/1(+25%)	(14) Nurse Garvey 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Switches from Flat to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Muredach Kelly. Pulled up on last hurdle run. Poor form in bumpers and well beaten in maidens over hurdles and on the Flat this year.
9th	11 9th (11) (125/1 -25%) Srowland Jack	125 125/1(-25%)	(11) Srowland Jack 125/1, Making GB/IRE jumps debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) 36 days ago. Ten-race maiden on the Flat despite competing at a modest level; limited appeal.
10th	12 10th (12) (125/1 -150%) The Riastrad	125 125/1(-150%)	(12) The Riastrad 125/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Ninth of 16 in handicap at Bellewstown (14.3f, heavy, 25/1) 54 days ago. Hood on for 1st time in this code. Is 0-8 on the Flat and hasn't been getting any better in that scene.
11th	10 11th (10) (200/1 +0%) Slaney Bank	200 200/1(+0%)	(10) Slaney Bank 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, heavy, 100/1). Off 7 months. Back down in trip. Pulled up at Gowran (yielding) and tailed off at Wexford (heavy); no appeal for now.
12th	13 12th (13) (80/1 +0%) Is That So	80 80/1(+0%)	(13) Is That So 80/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 28/1, first run since leaving Patrick Martin when eleventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (15f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 40 days ago. Limited Flat maiden who didn't show a lot on her recent switch to hurdling.
13th	6 13th (6) (40/1 -21%) Reval Rock	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Reval Rock 40/1, Laverock gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Prickly and fair hurdler Inforapenny. Dam (c100/h104) 2m-2½m hurdle winner. Pulled up in sole point. Beaten when blundering badly late on in a point during the Christmas period.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (150/1 +25%) Shore	150 150/1(+25%)	(9) Shore 150/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 12/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Switches from Flat to hurdles. Visored for 1st time. Poor on last hurdle outing. Poor on AW; showed nothing when trying hurdles once before at Kilbeggan last September.

LTO Selection:

RING O ROSES may be able to gain compensation here after a narrow defeat at Downpatrick last time. The Flemensfirth mare ran a nice race when third on debut at Navan and was a short enough price to open her account on her return from a short break earlier this month. After a mistake at the last she was collared close home and lost out by the narrowest of margins. She doesn't need to improve much to score now. Estepona Sun could be a danger after a good run to finish third on his return at Clonmel recently. The Last Mardi makes his reappearance having last been seen at Galway in September and is another for the shortlist. He was a dual bumper winner last year and showed a nice bit in two outings over timber.

The fact RING O ROSES has had a recent outing tips things in her favour over The Last Mardi, who hasn't been seen since finishing fifth at Galway in September. Lazer Wolf and Estepona Sun should get involved in the battle for minor honours in a race where it's hard to make a case for many.

The mare RING O ROSES appeals as the best option after running well in both her races and the form at Downpatrick last time is okay.

17:30 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:00 Ballinrobe Conditions Hurdle 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (1.25/1 +50%) Media Naranja	1.25 1.25/1(+50%)	(6) Media Naranja 1.25/1, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in March. 7/2, creditable third of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good) 40 days ago. Sure to go well. Third in a Cheltenham Grade 3 mares' handicap; a player getting 7lb from her main rivals.
2	1 2nd (1) (1.25/1 -87%) Custom Of The Sea	1.25 1.25/1(-87%)	(1) Custom Of The Sea 1.25/1, Promising sort. Won 16-runner juvenile hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 7/1) on NH debut 16 days ago, comfortably. Likely to improve so probably the one to beat. Beat more experienced rivals in a Killarney maiden hurdle; should have improved from that.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.75/1 +8%) Your Honor	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(2) Your Honor 2.75/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Limerick in March. 24¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Lossiemouth in Champion Juvenile Hurdle (125/1) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) 31 days ago. This is more realistic. Limerick conditions hurdle winner before running below that form in a C&D handicap.
4	9 4th (9) (100/1 +0%) Ruby Jules	100 100/1(+0%)	(9) Ruby Jules 100/1, 250/1, fifth of 7 in minor event hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) on NH debut 15 days ago. Beaten a long way on hurdling debut at Killarney and has enormous improvement to make.
5th	4 5th (4) (150/1 +25%) Khewilltu	150 150/1(+25%)	(4) Khewilltu 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16.8f, good to soft, 200/1) 24 days ago. Well beaten in a bumper and two maiden hurdles, so can only be watched.
6th	8 6th (8) (80/1 -21%) Wayne R Walker	80 80/1(-21%)	(8) Wayne R Walker 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. Sixth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Cork (7f, soft) 25 days ago, met some trouble. Regressive Flat maiden after 18 starts and makes no appeal on hurdling debut.
7th	3 7th (3) (150/1 +25%) Ardad Derek	150 150/1(+25%)	(3) Ardad Derek 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 13 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft, 125/1) 11 days ago. Just a hint of ability in a bumper and two maiden hurdles; more interesting in handicaps.
8th	7 8th (7) (200/1 +20%) My Good Pal	200 200/1(+20%)	(7) My Good Pal 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, last of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Has shown little in bumpers and a maiden hurdle, so passed over.
9th	5 9th (5) (80/1 -142%) Liquid Metric	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) Liquid Metric 80/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. First run since leaving James Horton when fourteenth of 16 in juvenile hurdle (100/1) at Cork (16.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Tailed-off on hurdling debut for this yard and can only be watched.

LTO Selection:

This looks like a nice stepping stone for CUSTOM OF THE SEA after an impressive winning debut at Killarney 16 days ago. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding asserted in good style going to the last on his racecourse bow and looked open to plenty of improvement then having made a couple of slight errors in the closing stages. Your Honor sets the standard off a mark of 120 and has to be respected. He was outclassed in Grade 1 company at Punchestown last time but had run a solid race in handicap company previously off a pound higher mark. Media Naranja also ran well in handicap company last time, when third at Cheltenham last month, and is another that has to come into calculations.

Three in with a chance here and it's CUSTOM OF THE SEA who receives the vote having created a very favourable impression when making a winning debut at Killarney a fortnight ago. Media Naranja and Your Honor are feared most, in that order.

Though CUSTOM OF THE SEA must have been fairly wound up to win at Killarney on debut, there is surely improvement to come.

18:00 Ballinrobe Conditions Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:30 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (2.75/1 -38%) Can't Stop Smiling	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(4) Can't Stop Smiling 2.75/1, Much improved when opening account in 14-runner handicap hurdle (17/2) at this course (16.6f, good to soft) 28 days ago, quickening clear. 13 lb higher now but further progress may be on the cards. Got a 13lb hike for C&D win but good claimer stays aboard and has to be on the shortlist.
2	6 2nd (6) (12/1 +57%) Vischio	12 12/1(+57%)	(6) Vischio 12/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Creditable run on soft ground at Clonmel last time and this surface will suit better.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.75/1 +8%) Royal Eagle	2.75 2.75/1(+8%)	(3) Royal Eagle 2.75/1, Promising sort who was returning from 8 months off when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 18 days ago. 9 lb higher now but remains open to improvement in this sphere. Raised 8lb for Kilbeggan win but there should be improvement to come; of strong interest.
4	9 4th (9) (7.5/1 +25%) First Dare	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(9) First Dare 7.5/1, 20/1, good 4 lengths fourth of 14 to Royal Eagle in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Each-way claims. Fourth to Royal Eagle at Kilbeggan last time; needs a bit more but should be involved.
5th	8 5th (8) (2.25/1 +63%) Calico	2.25 2.25/1(+63%)	(8) Calico 2.25/1, Belatedly off the mark at Tramore (16f) last month and improved on that when making a successful handicap bow at Perth (16.2f, good, 3/1) 12 days ago. This looks tougher but not taken lightly. Won a Tramore maiden and a Perth handicap lately; this is more competitive but respected.
6th	11 6th (11) (125/1 +17%) Athagabhain	125 125/1(+17%)	(11) Athagabhain 125/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.5f, good to soft, 66/1). Off 7 months. Back down in trip. Very hard to make a case for. Maiden is in poor form and has little chance from 15lb out of the handicap.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 +52%) Bonarc	16 16/1(+52%)	(5) Bonarc 16/1, Latest win in hurdle at Kilbeggan in May 2022. 50/1, pulled up in listed mares event at Punchestown (18.2f, good to soft) won by Queens Brook. Off 6 months. Work to do. Last won off this mark a year ago; will have to be tuned up on return.
8th	2 8th (2) (22/1 +12%) Razzle Dazzle Love	22 22/1(+12%)	(2) Razzle Dazzle Love 22/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 22/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at this course (17.4f, soft) 46 days ago. Others preferred. Some encouragement from her hurdle run here last time; has to do more, though.
9th	1 9th (1) (14/1 -75%) Je T'ai Porte	14 14/1(-75%)	(1) Je T'ai Porte 14/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Career best when winning 12-runner novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, soft, 4/1) 19 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Got off the mark in a Clonmel maiden on soft ground and she has to enter calculations.

LTO Selection:

Course form here is always a bonus and CAN'T STOP SMILING may be able to defy a 13lb hike for her wide-margin success here at the start of the month. The Walk In The Park mare stretched clear to win by 12 lengths on her handicap debut and there looks more to come from the unexposed five-year-old. This is a competitive contest and Gordon Elliott saddles two last time out winners. Calico has really found the winning thread now having been frustrating and she could be nicely treated with Danny Gilligan taking 7lb off her back. Stablemate Royal Eagle won well at Kilbeggan recently and is another for the shortlist.

Preference is for ROYAL EAGLE, who resumed her progress when scoring at Kilbeggan earlier this month and remains low mileage over hurdles. Can't Stop Smiling and Calico head the list of dangers.

Though CAN'T STOP SMILING is 13lb higher than for her easy C&D win last time, she could well defy that rise.

18:30 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

19:00 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 16f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (2.75/1 +21%) We'llhavewan	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(4) We'llhavewan 2.75/1, Latest win in chase at Tipperary in July. Creditable second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, heavy, 7/2), keeping on well. Likely to play a big part if fully tuned-up back from a 6-month break. Back hurdling with a second at Fairyhouse; up 5lb and down in distance.
2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 +68%) Solitary Man	6.5 6.5/1(+68%)	(3) Solitary Man 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, creditable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft) 19 days ago. Open to progress and he's one to be interested in. Only 6th on handicap debut when ground was soft; this surface may well suit better.
3	14 3rd (14) (22/1 +78%) Jinxs Link	22 22/1(+78%)	(14) Jinxs Link 22/1, Thirteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Naas (16.3f, soft) 61 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Looks limited and failed to raise his profile when 50-1 for handicap debut at Naas.
4	16 4th (16) (80/1 +36%) So Easy Way	80 80/1(+36%)	(16) So Easy Way 80/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. Eighteen runs since last win in 2019. 40/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft). Off 6 months. No wins since a French chase in 2019 and was soundly beaten over hurdles in the autumn.
5th	7 5th (7) (3.5/1 +42%) Ballinlough Gale	3.5 3.5/1(+42%)	(7) Ballinlough Gale 3.5/1, 9/2, creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. 0-15 over hurdles and may again find one or two too good. Placed here four weeks ago off this mark, albeit finishing some 13l off the winner.
6th	13 6th (13) (8/1 -129%) Atlantic Wonder	8 8/1(-129%)	(13) Atlantic Wonder 8/1, 8/1, eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 29 days ago, not knocked about. Remains capable of better and he's a must for the shortlist. Could do with settling better but has hinted at winning potential, including last time.
7th	6 7th (6) (8/1 +33%) The Toothpicker	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) The Toothpicker 8/1, 16/1, first run since leaving David Kenneth Budds when a below-par tenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, soft) 50 days ago, unable to sustain effort. That run was probably need (first start for 14 months) and he's one to consider. Could strip fitter for his return to action at Cork when finishing in midfield.
8th	15 8th (15) (25/1 +62%) Globetrottersivola	25 25/1(+62%)	(15) Globetrottersivola 25/1, 12/1, tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy) 173 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Best to look elsewhere. Maiden after 10 starts and has now had a few chances in handicaps.
9th	10 9th (10) (22/1 -175%) Peace Party	22 22/1(-175%)	(10) Peace Party 22/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (12/1) at this course (16.6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. That run can be overlooked and not completely ruled out here off a workable mark. Tailed off throughout after starting very sluggishly here four weeks ago.
10th	12 10th (12) (80/1 -21%) Chequer Square	80 80/1(-21%)	(12) Chequer Square 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (16.6f, good to soft) 28 days ago, effort when not fluent 3 out. Longstanding maiden (0-17) and his handicap debut in this discipline was very forgettable.
11th	1 11th (1) (11/1 +39%) Listentillitellyea	11 11/1(+39%)	(1) Listentillitellyea 11/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. Eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Likely he'll come up short once again. Now 0-16 as a hurdler after finishing tailed off in a competitive Killarney handicap.
12th	5 12th (5) (12/1 -200%) Mitiva	12 12/1(-200%)	(5) Mitiva 12/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Bit below form fifth of 18 in novice hurdle (3/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 80 days ago but has the look of a likely improver now making her way down the handicap route. Placed in maidens and could have some potential lurking off this initial mark.
13th	2 13th (2) (20/1 -43%) Filon D'oudairies	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Filon D'oudairies 20/1, Latest win in chase at Thurles in December. 7/2, tenth of 13 in handicap chase at Thurles (17.8f, good to soft) 163 days ago. Resumes in this sphere on a workable mark and is worth a second look. Last chase win came off a similar mark; capable hurdler who could go well.
14th	11 14th (11) (20/1 +70%) Abu Hazem	20 20/1(+70%)	(11) Abu Hazem 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, soft, 50/1) 42 days ago. Difficult ask. Unseated early on his handicap debut at Tipperary when a 50-1 chance.
15th	9 15th (9) (66/1 -65%) Ashqar	66 66/1(-65%)	(9) Ashqar 66/1, 50/1 and blinkered for 1st time, first run since leaving Declan Queally when fifth of 6 in minor event chase at Sligo (21.2f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Switches from chase to hurdles and down in trip. A happier horse over hurdles but career strike-rate of 1-52 sets the alarm bells ringing.

LTO Selection:

WE'LLHAVEWAN may be able to make the most of his lower hurdles mark in this. Willie Mullins' charge was beaten favourite when last seen at Fairyhouse in November but that was on testing ground and this sounder surface should be more to his liking now. The Imperial Monarch gelding won over fences on his first outing for the champion trainer and is rated 11lb higher over the larger obstacles. Mitiva was well beaten when sent off favourite in a maiden hurdle at Gowran on her last outing but may appreciate nicer ground now and could be well treated on her handicap debut, judged on previous form. Ballinlough Gale was third behind easy winner Can't Stop Smiling here last time and off the same mark has place prospects again.

There was plenty of promise in ATLANTIC WONDER's reappearance effort at Down Royal and he could be the answer if able to build on that here. Next on the list is The Toothpicker, who should be all the better for his comeback spin at Cork and this 6-y-o is lurking on a decent mark. Mitiva is of strong interest now handicapping and is shortlisted, along with the Willie Mullins-trained We'llhavewan and likely improvers Eighty Eight and Solitary Man.

A few with chances in a competitive handicap but MITIVA might be the answer now sent into handicaps.

Still a maiden but one of his better efforts to be only 9l off the winner at Downpatrick.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -22%) Portland Row	22 22/1(-22%)	(9) Portland Row 22/1, Blinkered for 1st time, fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at this course (22.1f, soft) 46 days ago.

10	10 \|PU\| (10) (100/1 -52%) Courthill	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Courthill 100/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at this course (22.1f, soft) 46 days ago. Readily passed over. Has either pulled up or finished tailed off in his six starts to date.

LTO Selection:

ARCTIC AMBITION was value for a bit more than his winning margin at Limerick recently and can follow up here. Danny Gilligan gave his mount a confident ride last time and he flew the last to record a cosy three-parts-of-a-length win over Tilloughna. The front pair pulled well clear of the field then. This doesn't look a particularly strong race now. Glenmalure Lodge would appear an obvious danger having run well to chase home Bugscuffle here earlier in the month. She only got a couple of pounds for that run. Aliunde has ran solid races on his last couple of outings and is another that has to be considered.

ARCTIC AMBITION boasts a good strike rate over fences and opened his account at the twelfth attempt in this sphere at Limerick just four days ago. He is now 2-3 under Danny Gilligan and, provided that this doesn't come too soon, the 8-y-o should prove very hard to beat under a penalty. Glenmalure Lodge remains winless following 17 attempts over hurdles but she's a live each-way player on the back of a solid effort here. Aliunde, Portland Row and Silverstrand are others with each-way claims.

Gordon Elliott looks to strike while the iron is hot with ARCTIC AMBITION (nap) after he exploited his lower hurdle mark last Friday.

2	6 2nd (6) (18/1 +45%) Ciankyle	18 18/1(+45%)	(6) Ciankyle 18/1, Course winner. Sixth of 13 in handicap chase (50/1) at Downpatrick (23.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles.

3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 +56%) Tuff Days	7 7/1(+56%)	(7) Tuff Days 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at this C&D (good) in August. Successful in points earlier this month.

5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 -54%) Fairland	10 10/1(-54%)	(8) Fairland 10/1, 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 13 in novice chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, good to soft) 11 days ago.

Can make presence felt. Very competitive the last twice, latterly on her debut for this yard over this trip.
7th	2 7th (2) (2.25/1 +0%) Bugscuffle	2.25 2.25/1(+0%)	(2) Bugscuffle 2.25/1, Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at this course (21.1f, good to soft) 28 days ago, responding well. Remains feasibly treated and is one for the shortlist. None too consistent but he came good over 2m5f here four weeks ago; up 7lb.
8th	14 8th (14) (40/1 -21%) Joan Of Pimlico	40 40/1(-21%)	(14) Joan Of Pimlico 40/1, Fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft, 14/1) 7 days ago. Hard to fancy. Excuses last time but now 0-18 and probably placed at best.
9th	5 9th (5) (18/1 +0%) Stellar Symphony	18 18/1(+0%)	(5) Stellar Symphony 18/1, Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (23f, good to soft, 25/1). Off 7 months. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not out of things. Is 0-9 over hurdles and placed only once; 0-15 as a pointer and looks worth taking on.
10th	16 10th (16) (28/1 +15%) Uppertown Mya	28 28/1(+15%)	(16) Uppertown Mya 28/1, 20/1, first run since leaving Mary E Doyle when sixteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, soft) 42 days ago.

13	13 \|PU\| (13) (40/1 +20%) Fair Day	40 40/1(+20%)	(13) Fair Day 40/1, Twelfth of 17 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Navan (20f, good). Off 23 months. First run for yard after leaving P. J. Hassett. Likely best watched. Beaten in the region of 25l in his two handicaps over hurdles so has to improve.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (100/1 -150%) Zahina	100 100/1(-150%)	(9) Zahina 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (12f). Off 6 months. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Improvement required on handicap hurdle debut. Mid-division finish in her final maiden over hurdles and was beaten 5l on the AW latest.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (125/1 -25%) Shackleton Island	125 125/1(-25%)	(15) Shackleton Island 125/1, Fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.8f, good to soft, 125/1) 24 days ago. Readily opposed. Has offered very little in his handicaps thus far and was 50-1 or bigger for all of them.

LTO Selection:

BUGSCUFFLE was a good winner over slightly shorter here earlier in the month and this looks a good opportunity to secure a follow-up win. The September Storm gelding went up 7lb for that success, his third outing for Andrew McNamara, but still looks on a competitive mark in an ordinary event. Gold Haven looks a danger. She ran well in more competitive events at Navan early in the year and her trainer Paul Flynn has his team in fine form. Duffys Getaway didn't run too badly when fourth down in Cork last time and could be place material in this.

DUFFYS GETAWAY has been given a chance by the handicapper and posted his best effort over hurdles when fourth at Cork earlier this month. He gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Bugscuffle and Iridescent should also go well.

Provided a three-month break doesn't stall her progress then GOLD HAVEN should run well after an encouraging start for Paul Flynn.

LTO Selection:

DR EGGMAN looks the one they have to beat in this. The Saint Des Saints gelding comes here off the back of a good run to finish third in a strong contest at Punchestown last month. He has been third on both starts now and looks to be facing an easier task now. Arabian Diamond chased home another Willie Mullins-trained runner in Readin Tommy Wrong here earlier in the month and should be thereabouts but could be bumping into a useful sort again. Intense Approach cost £210,000 after winning a point-to-point at Farmacaffley in February and he looks one to note on his first outing for John McConnell.

DR EGGMAN has been placed in good bumpers at Fairyhouse and Punchestown this spring and will likely be hard to beat unless the betting speaks strongly in the favour of expensive point recruit Intense Approach. Gordon Elliott's Arabian Diamond is best of the remainder.

It is difficult to oppose DR EGGMAN after a solid comeback run at Punchestown, with improvement likely too.

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.
