DOLLAR VALUE put up a remarkable performance after losing a lot of ground at the start in a similar event at Sligo earlier this month. The Tom McCourt-trained gelding likes to force the pace but didn't get to the front until two out before forging clear to beat Boom Boom Boom by all of 16 lengths. The selection probably ran to a similar level when runner-up to favourite Mordor three days later at Downpatrick. Boom Boom Boom previously won at Ballinrobe and riding arrangements suggest he's preferred to I Am Spider Man, while others to consider include Routine Excellence and Wild Shot.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and BOOM BOOM BOOM, favoured by these weights, gets the nod at the chief expense of Brianna Lily who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh at Wexford last time. Downpatrick runner-up Dollar Value can also have a say.

In fine form in claiming hurdles over the summer, DOLLAR VALUE can score again after a good run in a Downpatrick rated hurdle last time

ARCTIC GALE was just denied by a nose over 2m7f at Ballinrobe last time and can gain compensation. The bumper winner also filled the runner-up spot on his previous start behind Lightkeeper at the Galway Festival and that race has thrown up a couple of maiden winners since. Gavin Cromwell is doubly represented by point-to-point winner Millforce and Pampar Lady, who has been placed a number of times in maiden hurdles and steps up in trip receiving all the allowances. On Lovers Walk won twice in point-to-points and now joins Ross O'Sullivan after finishing second four times over hurdles.

MILLFORCE opened his account in good style between the flags when last seen in May and the 5-y-o is taken to make a successful start to his Rules career. He may have most to fear from Arctic Gale, who has found just one too good on each of his last two starts. That said, On Lovers Walk will also be a threat if he puts his best foot forward on debut for new connections.

Narrowly beaten after getting a bump at Ballinrobe, ARCTIC GALE is worth another chance based on his previous Galway second

INFORAPENNY has gained both previous wins over this C&D including last time when prominent throughout and rallying well from the last to beat Hypersonic Missile. That was reward for some consistent efforts this year and he remains on a competitive mark. High Honour returned to form on soft ground at Sligo last week with Rockview Roman back in fourth and any rain will boost his claims while Seasett, Harley Street and Hidalgo Des Mottes are others to consider. Shana Cloon has been a frustrating sort to follow and again looked booked for minor honours last time when falling at the last at Wexford.

Gavin Cromwell might land a fourth successive win in this contest courtesy of SHANA CLOON, who was a model of consistency last season. St Denis's Well is well treated judged on his chase exploits and is second choice ahead of Shark Hanlon's Seasett and last week's Sligo scorer High Honour.

The selection though is INFORAPENNY(nap), who has done all of his winning over this C&D and should go close

SEA MUSIC won a Kilbeggan beginners chase over this trip in June and travelled well approaching the straight before finding Talk Of The Town too good in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival. He should be suited by this drop back in trip and may now have most to fear from Mount Sinai, who won a 2m4f Clonmel maiden hurdle on testing ground last autumn and should benefit from her reappearance when staying on well over an inadequate trip at Galway. Ta Na La won a maiden in good style over C&D last month, while bumper winner Crooked Tannie has been placed a number of times in maiden hurdles and is certainly of interest on his handicap debut.

MOUNT SINAI made a promising return when sixth at Galway last month and is fancied to take a sizeable step forward here. That's About Right heads the list of dangers on the back of his Wexford victory, although a solid case can also be made for Ta Na La, Sea Music and Crooked Tannie.

The selection is MOUNT SINAI, given a fair bit to do at Galway last time but likes this trip and looks well capable off this mark

With stable jockey Paul Townend in the saddle, the Willie Mullins-trained FOUR CLEAN ACES can follow up her recent win at Kilbeggan. A dual bumper winner, the six-year-old took five attempts to open her account over flights. However, given the manner of her victory at the County Westmeath track, it would be no surprise to see the mare make up for lost time in the coming weeks. Crack The Sky, also trained by Mullins, couldn't have done it any easier when shedding her maiden tag at Kilbeggan earlier this month. While jockey bookings suggest that she is the stable second string, there may not be much between the pair. Ballinrobe winner Royal Hollow is another that should be capable of getting involved.

Presumably Paul Townend was given the choice between CRACK THE SKY and Four Clean Aces, so the fact that he's aboard the latter may well be significant. However, Crack The Sky is nevertheless preferred on the back of a pretty impressive reappearance success at Kilbeggan where she appeared to benefit from being ridden with more restraint compared to her first two starts in this sphere. Royal Hollow is third choice ahead of Amanha and Disco Dancer.

Paul Townend rode FOUR CLEAN ACES and Crack The Sky to victory on the same Kilbeggan card so his choice is a significant pointer

Given the ease with which he won on the flat at Killarney last month, it is difficult to ignore the claims of CHUTZPAL back over hurdles. Having had just the four starts over flights for previous connections, the five-year-old looks seriously well handicapped off just 95 in this bottom grade. Getaway Henry won at Wexford last month, before finishing third off a revised mark at that same venue last time. Daniel O'Leary's seven-year-old will need to take another step forward here but as an in-form gelding he has to be respected. Bella Be Good improved on previous efforts when runner-up at Wexford on her most recent outing. Although she needs to back up that performance, the Edward Cawley-trained mare has to be considered.

A big field but it's hard to get away from CHUTZPAL, who made his second start for his leading yard a winning one on the level last month and this mark looks well within range back hurdling. Sydney Cruiser, Getaway Henry and Bella Be Good are a trio of potential threats.

The manner of his Flat win at Killarney implies that CHUTZPAL has an excellent chance on his first hurdles run for this stable

The Shark Hanlon-trained GRIZABELLA is probably still well enough handicapped over flights to add another win here. Successful at Wexford in July, the mare returned to that same track last time, where she finished a respectable fourth of 13. Given a rating of 56 on the Flat, one would imagine that she still has some scope for improvement off her current hurdles mark. Malbas ran a big race when runner-up at Down Royal over Christmas but has been absent since. With the winner franking that form subsequently, the John McConnell-trained top-weight should be capable of getting involved if ready after an absence. Former point-to-point winner Due Course is almost certainly capable of better than he has shown under Rules to date.

BUTTONED UP failed to improve for the switch to handicaps last time but things didn't go right and she was spared a hard race, so she's worth another chance to up her game. Malbas is an obvious player if tuned up for his reappearance and Due Course isn't one to give up on.

John McConnell has saddled a few winners in recent weeks and that augurs well for MALBAS on his first outing since last Christmas

Runner-up at Tramore on her racecourse debut earlier this month, ALASKAN VIEW can make the most of this opportunity. The Willie Martin-trained four-year-old is entitled to be all the better for that initial experience, while in Phidelma Elvin she has one of the stronger riders in this race. Monroes Hollow shaped with plenty of promise when fifth at the Galway Festival first time up. Time may well show that to have been a fair contest, so with that in mind the Peter Fahey-trained gelding has to be of interest. Jody Townend looks a rather significant booking for the Michael Grassick-trained Albert Hirsch. Mid division on both runs to date, the son of Beat Hollow might be capable of better given the benefit of those races.

ALASKAN VIEW outran big odds when a promising second at Tramore on debut and she's capable of better, so she's preferred to Monroes Hollow, who also arrives on the back of a positive start. Diamond Tipp is another one to consider.

Preference is for DIAMOND TIPP, second in a Tramore bumper when not getting the run of the race. She can take the beating

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.
