16:55 Bellewstown Maiden Hurdle 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (2.5/1 -11%) Charlie Luciano	2.5 2.5/1(-11%)	(1) Charlie Luciano 2.5/1, Fair on Flat. Improved on previous hurdling exploits when winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good, 5/2) 20 days ago, always holding on. Should go well again. On a hat-trick over hurdles and beat older rivals in good style at Downpatrick last time.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 -14%) Calico	4 4/1(-14%)	(4) Calico 4/1, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Perth in May. 9/4, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 39 days ago. Back-to-back wins before being beaten only 3l in mares' handicap at Ballinrobe.
3	3 3rd (3) (2.25/1 +36%) Mister Wilson	2.25 2.25/1(+36%)	(3) Mister Wilson 2.25/1, Steady improver over hurdles in recent months, career best when winning 17-runner novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good, 16/5) 33 days ago. Expected to be thereabouts again. Off the mark hurdling at Listowel last month and mark has risen 12lb in last four starts.
4	2 4th (2) (1.88/1 +6%) Gordons Aura	1.88 1.88/1(+6%)	(2) Gordons Aura 1.88/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Fairyhouse in February. 18/1, shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 55 days ago, keeping on gradually. Well in the mix back down in class. Fairyhouse maiden winner has loads of experience; looks ready for longer trip but go well.
5th	5 5th (5) (100/1 +0%) I Am The Sea	100 100/1(+0%)	(5) I Am The Sea 100/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Once-raced maiden. 66/1, first run since leaving William Haggas when eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (16.2f, good) on NH debut 26 days ago, never involved. This should reveal more. Connections spent 23,000gns to buy him out of William Haggas' yard; tailed off hurdles bow.
6th	6 6th (6) (50/1 -150%) Rene Artois	50 50/1(-150%)	(6) Rene Artois 50/1, Making GB/IRE jumps debut. Visored for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in claimer (16/5) at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving M. D. O'Callaghan and the betting should prove a useful guide. Placed three times as 2yo for Michael O'Callaghan but ran poorly both starts at three.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 -52%) Wayne R Walker	100 100/1(-52%)	(7) Wayne R Walker 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 125/1, fifteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good) 28 days ago. Can only be watched. Modest Flat maiden and tailed off in both hurdle outings.

LTO Selection:

The form of the valuable handicap hurdle at Killarney that GORDONS AURA finished fourth in looks strong with the winner being considered for the Galway Hurdle, and the horse behind him in fifth delivering twice since then. Any rain will be to Gordons Aura's advantage. Charlie Luciano has won his last two hurdle races and was notably tough in Downpatrick. He won't be easily passed. Calico, a stablemate of Gordons Aura, was a beaten favourite at Ballinrobe, but that was in her bid for a hat-trick and she looks dangerous off a handy weight. After a string of placed efforts, Mister Wilson made the breakthrough over flights in Listowel and has a part to play.

Off the mark over hurdles at Fairyhouse in February, GORDONS AURA has largely shaped as if still in good form since, fourth at listed level at Killarney in May. He looks to hold sound claims back in calmer waters, with Charlie Luciano and Mister Wilson heading up the dangers.

Just the top four count; CHARLIE LUCIANO can complete a hat-trick in this discipline. Mister Wilson, also improving, is feared most

17:30 Bellewstown Maiden Hurdle 17f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (14/1 -100%) Finans Bay	14 14/1(-100%)	(4) Finans Bay 14/1, Talented FLat performer, though refused to race in handicap (20/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 42 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian McGuinness and no banker to take to hurdling. Talented on Flat but refused to race twice; find out whether hurdles have sweetened him.
1	2 1st (2) (0.5/1 +38%) Encanto Bruno	0.5 0.5/1(+38%)	(2) Encanto Bruno 0.5/1, Smart winner at 17f in bumpers. 14/1, 17¾ lengths eleventh of 21 to A Dream To Share in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) 115 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and has to be taken seriously. Smart bumper horse found Champion Bumper was a step too far; exciting hurdling prospect.
2	1 2nd (1) (3.33/1 +39%) Dutch Schultz	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(1) Dutch Schultz 3.33/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 9/2, bit below form fifth of 21 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) 90 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Well worth his mark of 87 on the level; hasn't yet translated that form to this sphere.
3	5 3rd (5) (50/1 -150%) Fox Leicester	50 50/1(-150%)	(5) Fox Leicester 50/1, Fair Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Second of 11 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good, 66/1) 17 days ago. Fair Flat performer; runner-up on third hurdles start at Wexford; this a much better race.

5th	15 5th (15) (16/1 +27%) Baby Chou	16 16/1(+27%)	(15) Baby Chou 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 16/1, creditable third of 19 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (15.8f, good to soft) 65 days ago, well positioned. Placed in first two hurdle outings at Tramore and Tipperary but it's modest form.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 -150%) Atreides	100 100/1(-150%)	(8) Atreides 100/1, Failed to match debut form when sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good) 17 days ago. Only beaten 2l in Down Royal maiden on rules debut; mistakes when running poorly run since.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 +0%) Fameaftertheglory	7 7/1(+0%)	(3) Fameaftertheglory 7/1, Fairly useful chaser. Remains a maiden after 12 hurdle runs. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft, 9/4) 58 days ago. Visor back on. Bumper winner; four seconds and four thirds from 12 starts over hurdles.
8th	11 8th (11) (125/1 -213%) Oneforgonzo	125 125/1(-213%)	(11) Oneforgonzo 125/1, 28/1, eighth of 17 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on NH debut 28 days ago. Nice enough start when mid-field, beaten 22l, in Punchestown maiden last month.
9th	14 9th (14) (80/1 -100%) Walkonthebriteside	80 80/1(-100%)	(14) Walkonthebriteside 80/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good to soft, 14/1) on hurdles bow 67 days ago. First run for yard after leaving S. Curling. Well beaten in bumper and maiden hurdle for Sam Curling; best watched on yard debut.
16	16 \|F\| (16) (150/1 +0%) Riqaaby	150 150/1(+0%)	(16) Riqaaby 150/1, Last of 14 in handicap (150/1) at Dundalk (12f). Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving P. F. O'Donnell. Placed in a bumper; absent for over 2 years before failing to beat a rival in two AW spins.
10th	7 10th (7) (150/1 -50%) Victory Star	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Victory Star 150/1, Fair Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Eighth of 11 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Wexford (16.7f, good) 17 days ago. Four-time winner at modest level on the Flat; beaten out of sight in three hurdling starts.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (50/1 -178%) Six Ace	50 50/1(-178%)	(13) Six Ace 50/1, Hit the frame in 3 bumpers prior to finishing last of 8 in bumper at Tramore (16f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Makes hurdles debut for top yard. Modest form in bumpers; half-brother to 2m4f hurdles winner; stiff task after lay-off.

LTO Selection:

ENCANTO BRUNO can go well on his eagerly-awaited debut over hurdles. John McConnell's charge won two bumpers including one at Cheltenham which has thrown up a plethora of winners. That earned him a shot at the festival at the same track where he finished mid-division in the Grade 1 champion bumper after racing keenly on ground that was arguably too slow for him. He is sure to be well schooled for this jumping assignment. Now Is The Hour is an intriguing track debutant for Gavin Cromwell after cruising home by 30 lengths in a Cragmore point-to-point in January. Baby Chou is in good hands and has been placed on her last couple of maiden hurdles. Cromwell also saddles Dutch Schultz and Fameaftertheglory who are closely matched on ratings, while Finans Bay won twice on the Flat and is worth a market check on jumping debut for Henry de Bromhead.

ENCANTO BRUNO displayed more than his share of ability in bumpers so assuming he takes to hurdling, he's up to winning this. Fameaftertheglory and Dutch Schultz may give the selection most to think about.

If ENCANTO BRUNO can translate his bumper form to this sphere, he should beat these; Dutch Schultz just about sets the standard

18:00 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 17f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	17 1st (17) (20/1 +39%) Wouldn't You Agree	20 20/1(+39%)	(17) Wouldn't You Agree 20/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, tenth of 14 in novice chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has work to do. RESERVE. Getting on for two years since he landed nice pot at Killarney; not much lately; reserve.
2	7 2nd (7) (5.5/1 +8%) Set Point	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(7) Set Point 5.5/1, Promising sort. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.6f, good, 5/1) 36 days ago, cosily. Up 10 lb big hard to know his limit for top stable. On a steep upward curve after wins at Downpatrick (2m3f) and Tramore, but so is his mark.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +63%) Tronador	6 6/1(+63%)	(5) Tronador 6/1, 10/3, won 10-runner handicap at Limerick (17f, good) 15 days ago. No surprise were he to continue the good work back hurdling. Won nicely on the Flat (2m1f) last month; best hurdles form was 2m4f win at Aintree.
4	9 4th (9) (6/1 +25%) Ifiwerearichman	6 6/1(+25%)	(9) Ifiwerearichman 6/1, Winner in hurdle at Down Royal in December. Fourth of 7 in minor event hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft, 9/4) 38 days ago. Can give a good account back in a handicap. Down Royal maiden winner has run creditably since, including sixth in Punchestown h'cap.
5th	8 5th (8) (40/1 +20%) Wajaaha	40 40/1(+20%)	(8) Wajaaha 40/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 40/1) 14 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles and this a tough race to bounce back in. Struggling for form, Flat and jumps, since hurdling second at Naas in February; outsider.
6th	15 6th (15) (4/1 +43%) By Your Side	4 4/1(+43%)	(15) By Your Side 4/1, Winner in hurdle at Naas in March. 5/2, creditable 4¾ lengths second of 8 to Rock On Seamie in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 20 days ago, left with lot to do and shaping up well. Big player. Touched off at Punchestown festival and second to Rock On Seamie at Downpatrick last time.
7th	2 7th (2) (6/1 +25%) Magnor Glory	6 6/1(+25%)	(2) Magnor Glory 6/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. 11/4, good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Can make presence felt from 2 lb higher. Has won four handicaps, notably a valuable contest at last year's Listowel festival.
8th	4 8th (4) (14/1 +36%) Rich Belief	14 14/1(+36%)	(4) Rich Belief 14/1, Latest win in hurdle at Kelso in May 2022. Respectable 9 lengths fourth of 10 to Tronador in handicap at Limerick (17f, good, 9/2) 15 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles and little margin for error from this mark. Three-time hurdles winner; fourth to smart Anna Bunina in this a year ago, now 2lb lower.
9th	12 9th (12) (5.5/1 +66%) Global Export	5.5 5.5/1(+66%)	(12) Global Export 5.5/1, 7/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Listowel (16.2f, good) 34 days ago, faring best of those held up. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Fairly useful hurdler. Third in 2m Flat handicap at Listowel last month and interesting if he can translate form.
10	10 \|F\| (10) (12/1 -50%) Rock On Seamie	12 12/1(-50%)	(10) Rock On Seamie 12/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle (5/1) at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 20 days ago by 4¾ lengths from By Your Side. Clearly thriving but he's hardly prolific. Gained second hurdles victory, from 27 starts, when beating By Your Side at Downpatrick.
10th	18 10th (18) (25/1 +24%) Tom Mcgreevy	25 25/1(+24%)	(18) Tom Mcgreevy 25/1, Unreliable type. Ran out in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.6f, good, 11/1) 36 days ago won by Set Point. Others more persuasive. RESERVE. Ran out on return and probably not up to this grade of handicap; reserve.

LTO Selection:

MAGNOR GLORY has viable credentials based on the form of his last three outings. He won a Grade B handicap hurdle at Listowel in September by three lengths and resumed this season with placed efforts in valuable handicap hurdles at Fairyhouse and Killarney. Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand in this race and his Amir Kabir is dropping down from graded company to compete off top-weight on handicap debut, so has to be given plenty of respect. Elliott's Set Point looks ready for a step up in class after winning in Downpatrick and then a shade cosily in Tramore. The handicapper has had his say, but this son of Sea The Stars appears to be progressive. Global Export blew away the cobwebs with a never nearer third on the Flat in Listowel and this looks an ideal trip for her, while Elliott's By Your Side and his conqueror in Downpatrick, Rock On Seamie, are others in the hunt for a cheque.

Gordon Elliott saddles 4 with viable claims, with BY YOUR SIDE just about the pick of them having made up a lot of ground in a slowly-run race when second to Rock On Seamie at Downpatrick. Set Point has to be feared in his hat-trick bid, while My Gaffer's ceiling hasn't been reached, so he completes the shortlist.

A fine prize and plenty with chances but WEDDELL SEA, progressive last summer, shaped well on his return at Listowel and gets the vote

18:00 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:30 Bellewstown Maiden Hurdle 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
7	7 (7) (9/1 +18%) Cullagh Pride	9 9/1(+18%)	(7) Cullagh Pride 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 7/1, respectable third of 13 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good) 17 days ago. Creditable efforts last twice but, with a mark of 105, playing for places again here.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -9%) Coastguard Lady	12 12/1(-9%)	(6) Coastguard Lady 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in bumper at Galway (16f, heavy, 6/1) in October. Makes hurdles debut. Engaged 6.13 Wexford Friday. Disappointing in Galway bumpers but hurdles could bring improvement.
1	3 1st (3) (1.2/1 +76%) Miss Fourie	1.2 1.2/1(+76%)	(3) Miss Fourie 1.2/1, Promising individual. First run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when very good second of 13 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Wexford (20.4f, good) 17 days ago. Should have more to offer. Good-ground bumper winner for Gavin Cromwell; runner-up over this trip on yard debut.

Off 10 months. Placed in bumper and on hurdles debut last year; off since heavy defeat over C&D in August.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.5/1 +58%) Ginnets Girl	2.5 2.5/1(+58%)	(2) Ginnets Girl 2.5/1, Fair hurdler. 11/4, creditable second of 18 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (22f, good) 28 days ago, keeping on. Expected to be thereabouts again. Bumper winner over 2m2f and runner-up in three of her five starts over hurdles.
4	1 4th (1) (33/1 +50%) Fizzle Rock	33 33/1(+50%)	(1) Fizzle Rock 33/1, Fair bumper winner. Shaped as if needing the run on return/hurdles debut at Tipperary in May and got no further than the first when unseating at Downpatrick (18.7f) 21 days ago. This should reveal more. Good bumper form; back from long absence when well beaten on hurdles bow in May.
5th	15 5th (15) (6/1 +57%) Winning Mischief	6 6/1(+57%)	(15) Winning Mischief 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Very good third of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good, 14/1) 33 days ago. Step up in trip a likely plus and further progress possible. Third to 105-rated winner at Listowel last time; fair bit more needed.
6th	11 6th (11) (9/1 +55%) Michal	9 9/1(+55%)	(11) Michal 9/1, €13,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park mare. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, half-sister to very smart hurdler/high-class chaser (2m-3m winner) Shooting Light. Fourth sole start in points (May 2022). Fourth in point last year; dam a half-sister to useful jumper Shooting Light; rules debut.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (14/1 +0%) Tellthemi'mhere	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Tellthemi'mhere 14/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Last of 9 in handicap at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft, 16/5) 53 days ago. Betting should guide. Has improved on the Flat since joining local yard; this race been the plan for some time.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (25/1 +24%) Sandymount Baby	25 25/1(+24%)	(13) Sandymount Baby 25/1, Modest bumper performer and similar form in 2 starts over hurdles upon returning from a lengthy absence this term. Likely type for handicaps in due course. From a good family but couldn't win a bumper and well beaten in two starts over hurdles.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (125/1 -25%) Shoshone Girl	125 125/1(-25%)	(14) Shoshone Girl 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, last of 11 in bumper at Cork (16f, heavy) on NH debut 107 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Tailed off in Cork bumper on debut; hurdling debut.

LTO Selection:

TINA MEEHAN is returning off a long absence but, such was the manner of her victory in a Tramore bumper, she is hard to get away from on hurdling debut. She put the field to the sword by 14 lengths and the runner-up was good enough to win a bumper on her next start. Ginnets Girl was put in her place in second over further at Punchestown last month, but is entitled to come on from that first run since November. Miss Fourie made a good start to life with Peter Fahey when runner-up at Wexford in June, while Winning Mischief has improved on each run over hurdles.

TINA MEEHAN looked yet another very bright prospect for her all-conquering stable when landing a Tramore bumper in comfortable fashion back in the autumn and she's expected to make her presence felt now her sights are sent on hurdling for the first time. Miss Fourie, following her good Wexford second last month, and Ginnets Girl are next best, ahead of Winning Mischief, who is steadily going the right way.

Runner-up three times over hurdles, GINNETS GIRL can put her experience to good use and see off facile bumper winner Tina Meehan

3	6 3rd (6) (22/1 +12%) Champagne Vacation	22 22/1(+12%)	(6) Champagne Vacation 22/1, 16/1, below form sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft). Off 7 months. Back up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Others make more appeal. Quiet in two starts last winter and now back from another absence.
4	15 4th (15) (8.5/1 +58%) On My Bike	8.5 8.5/1(+58%)	(15) On My Bike 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 19 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Naas (15.4f, soft) 118 days ago. Up in trip. Difficult ask. Poor so far, including when 100-1 for handicap debut at Naas in March; lots to prove.
5th	8 5th (8) (8.5/1 -21%) Makfils	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(8) Makfils 8.5/1, Creditable third of 12 in claiming hurdle (5/2) at Limerick (21f, soft) 158 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Claims if he's tuned up back from an absence. Wasn't running badly during the winter on ground testing enough for him.
6th	12 6th (12) (7/1 -40%) Chapel Street	7 7/1(-40%)	(12) Chapel Street 7/1, One win from 2 runs last season. Creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Respected. Perhaps needed his reappearance and returning to further looks a positive.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 +0%) Ace Aussie	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Ace Aussie 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Cork (12f, soft, 80/1) 22 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Back up in trip. Poor on last hurdle run. Others preferred. Below par for current yard and no real sign of turning things around.
8th	1 8th (1) (14/1 -17%) Forest Pump	14 14/1(-17%)	(1) Forest Pump 14/1, Below form sixth of 14 in novice hurdle (7/2) at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. Back up in trip. Not completely dismissed. Ran in a maiden last time; running well in a handicap previously before unseating.
9th	5 9th (5) (20/1 +29%) The Great White	20 20/1(+29%)	(5) The Great White 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good) 17 days ago. Up against it. Potentially well handicapped but it didn't look that way when tailed off at Wexford.
10th	14 10th (14) (4/1 +27%) Jenny Flex	4 4/1(+27%)	(14) Jenny Flex 4/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft, 6/1) 64 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely to improve and looks worth taking a chance on. Decent fifth on her handicap debut and she's open to improvement.
11th	9 11th (9) (28/1 +44%) Ben Thomson	28 28/1(+44%)	(9) Ben Thomson 28/1, Twentieth of 26 in handicap hurdle (80/1) at Navan (20f, good to soft) 126 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Poor in two runs for this yard following a year out and questions to answer now.
12th	10 12th (10) (50/1 -25%) Mutadaawel	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Mutadaawel 50/1, 40/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.8f, good) 12 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Others make more appeal. Down the field in a run apiece under both codes since returning from an absence.
13th	2 13th (2) (50/1 +0%) Quickbuck	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) Quickbuck 50/1, First run since leaving Nicky Henderson when 66/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. More required. Won a handicap hurdle for Nicky Henderson last year before losing his way.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (8/1 -14%) Ask Charlie	8 8/1(-14%)	(11) Ask Charlie 8/1, Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.7f, good, 5/1). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving D. Harvey. Not taken lightly. Winning pointer who is 0-10 under rules; however, there has been promise; new yard.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (25/1 +24%) Dont Doubt Me	25 25/1(+24%)	(13) Dont Doubt Me 25/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good, 18/1) 36 days ago, behind soon after. Tongue strap on 1st time. Something to prove. The wheels have come off since his Gowran win (2m4f, yielding) and the tongue-tie is added.

LTO Selection:

There should be a big run in CHAPEL STREET. He was a comprehensive winner, in a higher class, over a similar trip at Wexford over a year ago and then finished third behind two subsequent winners at the same track on his reappearance at the end of May. Sarah Kavanagh takes 4lb off his back and he is weighted to go well. Hand Over Fist can improve upon a promising third place in Tramore that came off an absence of more than six months. That run came in a higher grade and he remains on the same handicap mark of 95. Jenny Flex is a well-bred sort and there is likely to be more to come from this former point-to-point winner.

JENNY FLEX shaped well when fifth at Downpatrick a couple of months ago and there's every chance her top yard can get some improvement out of her now, so she's preferred to in-form pair Chapel Street and Hand Over Fist

A chance is taken on MAKFILS, who can go well fresh and a case can be made on a good many of his competitive efforts.

19:30 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (6.5/1 -18%) Our Bobby	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(8) Our Bobby 6.5/1, Hooded for 1st time, returned to form when third of 15 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft) 46 days ago. Back up in trip. No reason why he won't be in the mix again. He wasn't far away at Punchestown last time when tried in a hood.
2	4 2nd (4) (5.5/1 -22%) Hidalgo Des Mottes	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(4) Hidalgo Des Mottes 5.5/1, 13/2, good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good) 17 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Is going through a good spell at the moment so one to consider. No wins in ten and looks handicapped about right, but he's been knocking on the door.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 +41%) Inforapenny	5 5/1(+41%)	(6) Inforapenny 5/1, C&D winner. Failed to come on for recent run when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good, 15/2) 17 days ago. 6lb higher than when winning a division of this 12 months ago; 3rd two runs back.
4	15 4th (15) (12/1 +52%) Serpolette	12 12/1(+52%)	(15) Serpolette 12/1, C&D winner. 16/1, followed a good run with a terrible one when seventeenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, good) 27 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Below par last time out and she's hard to win with at the best of times.
5th	2 5th (2) (5/1 -25%) Top Line Tommy	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) Top Line Tommy 5/1, Sole win from 26 NH runs came on his penultimate start at Tramore. 3/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16.3f, good) 29 days ago, rallying. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back up in trip. In the mix from a lower hurdles mark. Rallying 2nd in 2m (too short) chase last time and he's rated lower over hurdles.
6th	7 6th (7) (7.5/1 -50%) Joshua Chamberlain	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(7) Joshua Chamberlain 7.5/1, Got back on track when third of 11 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Solid each-way player. Got tired up the hill when third at Downpatrick (2m1f, yielding to soft), his best run yet.
7th	5 7th (5) (10/1 -11%) Queenie Newall	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Queenie Newall 10/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, failed to build on reappearance promise when eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Worth another chance. Went close at Leopardstown last year off a similar mark and returned in decent form.
8th	9 8th (9) (5/1 +41%) Roi De Dubai	5 5/1(+41%)	(9) Roi De Dubai 5/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Again ran poorly when twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Mark continues to fall but for good reason on the evidence of his recent efforts.
9th	11 9th (11) (12/1 +25%) Cassarina Gold	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) Cassarina Gold 12/1, Sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20f, good to soft, 14/1) 25 days ago, not clear run soon after 2 out. Yet to match her bumper form in this sphere but may yet do so. Beaten under 20l in her two handicaps (3m/2m4f) and needs to find something.
10th	13 10th (13) (22/1 +67%) Make The Switch	22 22/1(+67%)	(13) Make The Switch 22/1, Eighth of 13 in handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good, 80/1) 22 days ago, merely closing up late. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code. Quiet on the level for this yard and best watched for now.
11th	3 11th (3) (28/1 +30%) Virtual Hug	28 28/1(+30%)	(3) Virtual Hug 28/1, Never dangerous eighth of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 22/1) 2 weeks ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Well held in three handicaps and it's been a similar tale on the Flat this summer.

LTO Selection:

JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN showed promise in bumpers and ran his best race over hurdles when placed at Downpatrick last month. This longer trip is a slight concern but he's bred to stay and this isn't the stiffest of tracks. Our Bobby is still 9lb higher than when gaining his only hurdles win at Wexford last summer. He has been placed several times since, including over this trip, and performed well when fitted with a first-time hood at Punchestown in May. Top Line Tommy won a 2m5f beginners' chase at Tramore last month and found 2m too sharp when runner-up in a handicap at Clonmel. He has plenty of placed form in this discipline and is rated 10lb lower over hurdles compared to his chase rating.

Plenty in with chances but the tentative vote goes to TOP LINE TOMMY, who finally got off the mark over obstacles on his penultimate outing at Tramore and back over hurdles, Edward O'Grady's 7-y-o can take advantage of his lower mark in this sphere. Hidalgo des Mottes is going through a good spell at the moment, so he's fancied to be in the shake-up, along with Our Bobby and Cassarina Gold.

The 6yo JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN had some good bumper form and his latest Downpatrick third was his best run yet over hurdles.

20:00 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 24f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
5	5 (5) (33/1 -136%) Attaboyarchie	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Attaboyarchie 33/1, 9/4, below-par fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Easy to look elsewhere. Likely contender off this mark despite failing favourite backers in latest maiden.
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +43%) Dartan	4 4/1(+43%)	(2) Dartan 4/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 12/1, improved to win 16-runner handicap at the Curragh (16f, good) 7 days ago, always holding on. Switches from Flat to hurdles and well in the mix. Lightly raced winning hurdler who won on the Flat only last week.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.38/1 +61%) Easy Fella	1.38 1.38/1(+61%)	(4) Easy Fella 1.38/1, Career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle (15/8) at Punchestown (23.6f, good) 27 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut off a good mark. Expected to be bang there. Still early days and won a Punchestown maiden (2m7f, good) as he liked a month ago.
3	14 3rd (14) (25/1 +11%) Pale Blue Dot	25 25/1(+11%)	(14) Pale Blue Dot 25/1, Course winner. Thirteenth of 14 in novice chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft, 28/1) 18 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Others have achieved more. Won his maiden over 2m4f here last summer and some handicap promise afterwards.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 +44%) Conna Cottage	9 9/1(+44%)	(8) Conna Cottage 9/1, Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in December. Pulled up in novice chase (11/8) at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 142 days ago, pulled up early in straight. Switches from chase to hurdles. Something to find on form. Jumping has let him down over fences the last twice but of interest back hurdling.
5th	15 5th (15) (12/1 +25%) Junior Alliance	12 12/1(+25%)	(15) Junior Alliance 12/1, Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Sligo (25.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Signs more encouraging since coming down the weights, especially when fourth at Wexford.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 -40%) Macgiloney	14 14/1(-40%)	(1) Macgiloney 14/1, Reliable sort. C&D winner. Looked likely winner when falling last in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good, 10/1) 19 days ago. Can go very well again. Looked in control of matters when falling late on at Kilbeggan (3m, good) 19 days ago.
7th	12 7th (12) (8.5/1 -21%) Mary Cassatt	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(12) Mary Cassatt 8.5/1, Winner in hurdle at Killarney in May. Good third of 6 in handicap hurdle (13/8) at Cartmel (25.4f, good) 42 days ago. Needs considering once more. Killarney maiden winner and then bang there in a 3m1f handicap at Cartmel.
8th	10 8th (10) (11/1 +61%) Hascoeur Clermont	11 11/1(+61%)	(10) Hascoeur Clermont 11/1, C&D winner. 17/2, pulled up in handicap chase at Wexford (25.2f, good to soft) 49 days ago, pulled up 2 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Hood on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Pulled up chasing last time but a better hurdler and 3m on good ground is ideal.
9th	9 9th (9) (7/1 +7%) Country Queen	7 7/1(+7%)	(9) Country Queen 7/1, 18/1, good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Ought to be in the shake-up. Dual winner who made the frame last time out; tries cheekpieces; needs good ground.

LTO Selection:

ATTABOYARCHIE ran plenty of good races in bumpers under Emma Sweeney, notably when second to subsequent Grade 1-winning hurdler Good Land, and the family-owned gelding can again give his rider a good spin on handicap hurdle debut. Runner-up in a Navan maiden last year, he was a little disappointing when a beaten favourite over 2m4f at Wexford last time but this longer trip may play to his strengths. Mary Cassatt was a decisive winner of a 2m6f maiden at Killarney and again showed her liking for a test of stamina when beaten less than a length in a Cartmel handicap over 3m1f. Still only four, she's open to plenty of improvement. Easy Fella is another that stays well and was a wide-margin winner of a Punchestown maiden last month. He's been given a 6lb hike for that but could still be on good mark for his first handicap.

EASY FELLA looks to start life in handicaps off a lenient mark so can follow up his Punchestown novice success at the chief expense of Macgiloney who rates a big threat after his unlucky late exit at Kilbeggan last time. Country Queen and Mary Cassatt complete the shortlist.

The 6yo ATTABOYARCHIE has yet to win a race but he's got the form to threaten off this sort of mark. Mary Cassatt is next best.

2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 -115%) Gone For Tea	14 14/1(-115%)	(8) Gone For Tea 14/1, 5/1, encouraging third of 7 in bumper at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) on NH debut 20 days ago. Not ruled out wtih better to come. Found a bit of bother in running when an 8l third at Downpatrick; that was a nice start.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/1 +64%) Kilta	9 9/1(+64%)	(2) Kilta 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 10 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good to soft, 6/1). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Ross O'Sullivan with more needed. Some promise on debut but finished tailed off on similar ground at Tipperary.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 -65%) Sameasiteverwas	33 33/1(-65%)	(3) Sameasiteverwas 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, creditable sixth of 10 in bumper at Clonmel (16.7f, good to soft). Off 9 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. No closer than 15l in five bumpers to date and looking exposed; now goes in a tongue-tie.
5th	9 5th (9) (50/1 -52%) Valiretta	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Valiretta 50/1, Valirann filly. Sister to fair hurdler Mullins Cross. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (2m winner) Bleak House. Market can guide. Fifth foal; sister to 2m1f hurdle winner Mullins Cross; dam unraced.
6th	7 6th (7) (80/1 +20%) Cedar Wood	80 80/1(+20%)	(7) Cedar Wood 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in bumper at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 125/1) 19 days ago. Has lots to find. Down the field at Clonmel and Kilbeggan; one for another day.
7th	4 7th (4) (14/1 +30%) Sweet Liberty	14 14/1(+30%)	(4) Sweet Liberty 14/1, Free Eagle gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners on Flat, including useful 7f winner Mudlahhim. Dam 7f winner who stayed easy 11.4f. Decent Flat pedigree but stable 0-17 in bumpers the last five seasons.
8th	5 8th (5) (6.5/1 +35%) Cape Best	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(5) Cape Best 6.5/1, Kingston Hill gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdlers Pinnacle Panda, stayed 3m, and Cotton End. Dam 11f winner. Not without interest on his debut. Half-brother to five winners; respected newcomer from a yard that gets bumper winners.

LTO Selection:

It could be a mistake to oppose Willie Mullins in a bumper but INTENSE APPROACH is taken to score for local handler John McConnell. An expensive purchase from the point-to-point sphere after winning at Farmacaffley for Constitution Hill's original handler Warren Ewing, the son of Jack Hobbs was pipped by a Mullins' inmate at Ballinrobe in May. That year-older rival had solid bumper form in the book and, with the benefit of that experience, the selection can go one better. Many won't look beyond the Mullins-trained Ivana who readily justified favouritism on her debut at Limerick in May. The runner-up is due to put that form to the test at Wexford on Friday. Downpatrick third Gone For Tea is entitled to improve with that run under her belt but may have to settle for minor honours again,

IVANA ran out an impressive winner on her debut at Limerick last month and looks the way to go here with improvement very much on the cards. Intense Approach also shaped well on his first start when runner-up at Ballinrobe and should ensure the mare doesn't have things all her own way. Newcomers Cape Best and Valiretta can fight it out for minor honours.

Ivana could well be the answer, but INTENSE APPROACH leads the way on RPRs courtesy of his near miss at Ballinrobe.

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.
