1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +0%) Beckett Rock		5 5/1(+0%)																															(3) Beckett Rock 5/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Fourth of 8 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (16.6f, soft, 6/1) 36 days ago. Should improve. Looked potentially smart when a 15l debut winner of a Gowran maiden hurdle 14 months ago.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/6 -25%) Bunting		0.833333 5/6(-25%)																															(4) Bunting 5/6, Useful hurdler who won a juvenile before finishing fourth in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown. Not seen since running on the Flat 8 months ago but sets the clear standard and looks the one to beat. Has found life tough last few starts but 135-rated hurdler sets a high bar here on return.
3	1 3rd (1) (12/1 -20%) Angostura		12 12/1(-20%)																															(1) Angostura 12/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Pulled up in Hardy Eustace Novices' Hurdle (11/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) won by Mirazur West, dropping away early in straight. Off 9 months. Needs to get back on track. Gowran maiden hurdle winner has absence to overcome and race conditions against him.
4	2 4th (2) (50/1 -52%) Ballycallan King		50 50/1(-52%)																															(2) Ballycallan King 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 22/1, fell in novice chase at Limerick (17.7f, soft) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. 2m handicap hurdle winner off 108 at Limerick in April but looks up against it here.
6	6 |F| (6) (2/1 +60%) Got Glory		2 2/1(+60%)																															(6) Got Glory 2/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Fell 2 out in Irish EBF Mares' Hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago, too far out to suggest outcome. One to consider on pick of form. Second in Listed mares' novice at Punchestown but fell at Leopardstown latest; risky.

BUNTING showed smart form last year and drops markedly in class since his most recent hurdle runs. A debut French Flat winner, he won on hurdles debut in December 2023 and while outclassed in three subsequent Grade 1s, nonetheless showed good ability and will be ready on his reappearance run. He is also ideally suited by race conditions. Byker finished second in the 2023 Fred Winter Hurdle but nonetheless lacks some of the selection's ability and hasn't run since October. The selection's stablemate Got Glory was placed at the Punchestown festival last May but burst blood vessels at that course last December and fell at Leopardstown over Christmas. She should struggle to win but has place claims.

Willie Mullins-trained pair BUNTING and Got Glory stand out on form and could have this between them, with the first named appealing as the more solid proposition. Beckett Rock has a bit to find with that pair but there's the potential for further improvement from him.

If BUNTING runs anywhere close to his rating of 135 on his return to action, he will take all the beating under Paul Townend

1	7 1st (7) (11/2 -10%) Grainne A Chroi		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(7) Grainne A Chroi 11/2, Promising type. 6/1, respectable tenth of 18 in bumper at Thurles (16.1f, good) 25 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Likely to improve. Placed in 3 of her 5 runs under rules; poor in Thurles bumper latest; each-way chance.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +50%) Twentyfourcarrot		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(2) Twentyfourcarrot 9/2, Fair winner at 16f in bumpers. 3/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Limerick (20f, soft) on hurdles bow 19 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Needs to bounce back. RPR of bumper win nothing to shout about and she was pulled up on hurdling debut.
3	9 3rd (9) (4/7 0%) Karma D'airy		0.571429 4/7(0%)																															(9) Karma D'airy 4/7, Promising sort. 68/10, second of 15 in minor event hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft).

4	1 4th (1) (20/1 -186%) Beautiful Chaos		20 20/1(-186%)																															(1) Beautiful Chaos 20/1, Promising individual. Fair winner at 11f on flat. Fourth of 17 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) 18 days ago, left with lot to do. Open to progress. Good effort when a staying-on fourth in 2m Limerick maiden hurdle; might want further.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/2 +18%) Kilbarry Ce Ce		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(10) Kilbarry Ce Ce 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, very good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Well in the mix. Bounced back when runner-up at Tramore on New Year's Day; could hit the frame again.
6th	4 6th (4) (50/1 0%) Betty's Beaut		50 50/1(0%)																															(4) Betty's Beaut 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1 and hooded, eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. No show in a couple of point-to-points and never a factor on rules debut at Tramore.
7th	12 7th (12) (200/1 -100%) Set My Love Free		200 200/1(-100%)																															(12) Set My Love Free 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, tenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20f, good) on hurdles bow. Off over 2 years. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Modest bumper promise; off the track 842 days; best watched on first start for new yard.
8th	5 8th (5) (250/1 -67%) Captain Kate		250 250/1(-67%)																															(5) Captain Kate 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 200/1, tenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) on NH debut 18 days ago. Ran okay in a few points but well behind Beautiful Chaos on rules debut at Limerick.

Always detached when sent off a big price on debut at Thurles last month; passed over.
10th	13 10th (13) (200/1 +0%) Stage Lady		200 200/1(+0%)																															(13) Stage Lady 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, fifteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Naas (16.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Showed promise in a bumper on debut but nothing in four starts since; no appeal.
11th	8 11th (8) (66/1 -100%) Inches Away		66 66/1(-100%)																															(8) Inches Away 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 28 lengths sixth of 7 to Churchfield Sunset in listed bumper (100/1) at Navan (16f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Improvement needed on hurdling bow but interesting that Darragh O'Keeffe is booked.

Fifteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, good, 125/1) on NH debut 25 days ago. Big price when tailed off on debut at Thurles before Christmas and a similar story here.

KARMA D'AIRY debuts for new connections having shown nice ability in France and contests an ordinary maiden on her Irish start. Beaten by Another World at Auteuil last June and bought for 250,000 euros the following month, that rival subsequently attained a Listed-placing and today's selection will be ready for her reappearance on suitably soft ground. Twentyfourcarrot was an impressive 16-length winner of a Limerick bumper in November but was reported to have had blood at both nostrils when pulling up at that venue over Christmas. Kilbarry Ce Ce has place claims.

KARMA D'AIRY showed some fairly useful form over hurdles in France and is fancied to build on that and get off the mark now with the all-conquering Willie Mullins team. Tramore runner-up Kilbarry Ce Ce appeals as the one to chase her home ahead of Beautiful Chaos and Grainne A Chroi.

This should be a straightforward task for KARMA D'AIRY (nap) on her Irish debut. Kilbarry Ce Ce can follow her home

1	7 1st (7) (4/7 +7%) Funiculi Funicula		0.571429 4/7(+7%)																															(7) Funiculi Funicula 4/7, Promising type. 18/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft). Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving Mlle D. Mele. Should improve and is worth chancing to make a winning start for new connections. Runner-up in a juvenile hurdle at Auteuil in October 2023, obvious chance in this company.
2	11 2nd (11) (100/1 -25%) Hitak		100 100/1(-25%)																															(11) Hitak 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Ellmarie Holden when pulled up in hunter chase (18/1) at Limerick (22.6f, soft) 17 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Down in trip. Useful three-time points winner, has struggled in hunter chases, trip may be inadequate.

Dam unraced half-sister to high-class hurdler (2m-19f winner) Iktitaf. Makes some appeal on paper but will probably need time. Dam is unraced half-sister to Irish Cesarewitch winner and high-class hurdler Iktitaf.

6th	15 6th (15) (100/1 -100%) Roxboro River		100 100/1(-100%)																															(15) Roxboro River 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 14 days ago. Fair fifth in a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden two weeks ago, needs to jump more tidily.
7th	4 7th (4) (25/1 -25%) Buckaway Freddie		25 25/1(-25%)																															(4) Buckaway Freddie 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 25/1, seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, heavy) on hurdles bow 50 days ago. Others preferred. Second in a small-field bumper, did not seem to handle the track at Tramore in November.
8th	3 8th (3) (150/1 -50%) Brown Boots		150 150/1(-50%)																															(3) Brown Boots 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 17 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) 18 days ago. No threat in maiden hurdles at this venue and Limerick last month, safe to rule out.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -32%) Dangerous Dan		33 33/1(-32%)																															(6) Dangerous Dan 33/1, Youmzain gelding. Dam (b92), ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m) Burn And Turn. Not an obvious sort on paper. Dam placed in a bumper, half-sister to useful jumps winner Burn And Turn.
1	1 |F| (1) (13/8 +28%) Addragoole		1.625 13/8(+28%)																															(1) Addragoole 13/8, Fairly useful hurdler. 9/2, respectable eleventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good) 20 days ago. Solid claims in a race that lacks depth. Runner-up in three bumpers and two maiden hurdle runs, worth forgiving a handicap failure.
18	18 |F| (18) (66/1 -164%) Tom Sarah Evelyn		66 66/1(-164%)																															(18) Tom Sarah Evelyn 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving T. Gibney when pulled up in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft, 20/1) on hurdles bow 131 days ago. Placed in two bumpers in 2021, pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last autumn.

Sixteenth of 17 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 18 days ago. Point winner in 2023, tailed off in a bumper, similar outcome over hurdles at Limerick.
11th	5 11th (5) (100/1 +0%) Comanche Moon		100 100/1(+0%)																															(5) Comanche Moon 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft, 150/1) 20 days ago. Beaten a long way in maidens at Cork and Limerick last month, big price both times.
12th	12 12th (12) (200/1 +20%) Kared'as De Cougny		200 200/1(+20%)																															(12) Kared'as De Cougny 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, heavy, 66/1) 14 days ago. Second in a bumper, has plenty to prove after his first two attempts over hurdles.
13th	2 13th (2) (9/1 +25%) Battleoftheboyne		9 9/1(+25%)																															(2) Battleoftheboyne 9/1, €30,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Hollow Games and fair hurdler Moyode Gold. Of obvious interest if the market speaks in his favour on debut. Half-brother to the trainer's Grade 3 hurdle winner Hollow Games also Grade 1-placed.
14th	17 14th (17) (28/1 +72%) Southgate Avenue		28 28/1(+72%)																															(17) Southgate Avenue 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, heavy) 50 days ago, finishing with running left. Unplaced in two outings in November, will appeal more when qualified for handicaps.
10	10 |PU| (10) (125/1 +17%) Highland Earl		125 125/1(+17%)																															(10) Highland Earl 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules.

The market is likely to revolve around FUNICULI FUNICULA. He kept on for second on his sole start in a hurdle at Auteuil in October 2023 and has subsequently joined Willie Mullins. He is already being quoted for two of the novice hurdle races at the Cheltenham Festival. The 123-rated Addragoole looks most likely to profit if Funiculi Funicula's Irish debut doesn't go to plan. He clocked up five runner-up finishes in a row (two bumpers and three maiden hurdles) before disappointing in a novice handicap hurdle at a foggy Leopardstown over Christmas. Gordon Elliott takes the wraps off Battleoftheboyne, who is a half-brother to a Grade 3 winner over flights and he should be given a market check.

FUNICULI FUNICULA hasn't been seen for 15 months since an excellent second over hurdles at Auteuil but his new yard is adept at bringing them back from lengthy absences and he's worth a chance to improve past Addragoole, who sets the standard but is more exposed. Battleoftheboyne is a notable newcomer.

Reverting to maiden company after a handicap run at Leopardstown, ADDRAGOOLE may make his experience count over Funiculi Funicula

1	10 1st (10) (9/1 -80%) Falcon Park		9 9/1(-80%)																															(10) Falcon Park 9/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. 16/1, improved to win 18-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, heavy) 15 days ago, pushed out. Worthy of consideration. Availed of a low mark when scoring readily at Punchestown, could still be well-treated.
2	8 2nd (8) (16/1 -129%) Robindevidastar		16 16/1(-129%)																															(8) Robindevidastar 16/1, Career best when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.2f, good to soft, 22/1) 61 days ago, digging deep. Stable having good spell. Another bold show likely. Raised 7lb for Punchestown win in November, may remain competitive in this modest grade.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +25%) Moudan		6 6/1(+25%)																															(4) Moudan 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, good fourth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, soft) 54 days ago. Should be involved again. Fourth at Tipperary, not guaranteed to uphold form with sixth-placed My Good Pal.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 -200%) Gimme A Buzz		33 33/1(-200%)																															(3) Gimme A Buzz 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, twelfth of 19 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.2f, soft, 80/1) 33 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. May well do better and is well worth monitoring in the betting. Finished behind Royal Reprobate at Cork last month, could slot into handicaps effectively.
5th	1 5th (1) (25/1 -25%) Seasett		25 25/1(-25%)																															(1) Seasett 25/1, Fair winner at 8f on flat. 33/1, first run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon when fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f, soft) 34 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Four-time winner, including twice over hurdles, best form last year was on a sound surface.
6th	15 6th (15) (28/1 -27%) Fernhill Fling		28 28/1(-27%)																															(15) Fernhill Fling 28/1, Twentieth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft, 20/1) 59 days ago. Trainer going well. Others more persuasive. Third at Wexford in October represents his best form by far, hard to be confident.
7th	9 7th (9) (15/2 +25%) Le Fanu		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(9) Le Fanu 15/2, Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Limerick (19.4f, good to soft) 87 days ago. Not discounted. Listowel festival fourth was quite encouraging, failed to build on that at Limerick.
8th	2 8th (2) (40/1 -900%) Royal Reprobate		40 40/1(-900%)																															(2) Royal Reprobate 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Nineteenth of 23 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 250/1) 20 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to progress. Second of three maiden runs was respectable, makes handicap debut for in-form trainer.
9th	12 9th (12) (17/2 +23%) Eikonix		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(12) Eikonix 17/2, Untrustworthy individual. Hooded for 1st time, very good fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft, 28/1) 19 days ago. Not sure to be in the same form. Has given trouble at the start in the past, some merit in his latest effort at Limerick.
10th	13 10th (13) (11/5 +89%) My Good Pal		2.2 11/5(+89%)																															(13) My Good Pal 11/5, 40/1, first run since leaving Brian Mortell when sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, soft) 54 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Needs to reverse Tipperary form with Moudan, rider's claim and yard's form are positives.
11th	6 11th (6) (14/1 -27%) Thegreenthirteen		14 14/1(-27%)																															(6) Thegreenthirteen 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 28/1, creditable seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.4f, soft) 43 days ago. Worthy of some interest. Not beaten far in seventh on handicap debut at this venue, improvement on the cards now.
12th	7 12th (7) (40/1 -122%) Let Him B		40 40/1(-122%)																															(7) Let Him B 40/1, Tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) 19 days ago. Others are more appealing. Not one of the more obvious contenders unless the market suggests otherwise.
13th	5 13th (5) (7/2 +42%) No Big Deal		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(5) No Big Deal 7/2, Promising sort. Again caught the eye under considerate ride when fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) 57 days ago. Looks ahead of this mark when it all clicks. Beaten over 20l when fourth in a 2m handicap at Limerick in November, needs to find extra.
14th	16 14th (16) (66/1 -136%) Internet Biddy		66 66/1(-136%)																															(16) Internet Biddy 66/1, 35¼ lengths twelfth of 18 to Falcon Park in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, heavy, 25/1) 15 days ago. Big price when down the field in Punchestown race won by Falcon Park, up against it.
15th	11 15th (11) (66/1 -371%) Wyoming Baby		66 66/1(-371%)																															(11) Wyoming Baby 66/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, 35¼ lengths thirteenth of 18 to Falcon Park in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Punchestown (16.4f, heavy) 15 days ago. Point winner, nothing in her hurdles form to inspire confidence, new headgear combination.

ROBINDEVIDASTAR was tough off the front in Punchestown two months ago. He has previous placed form in Clonmel and Tiernan Power Roche's 7lb claim should keep him competitive in this grade. Falcon Park was a ready winner of an opportunity handicap hurdle in Punchestown which makes him dangerous, especially as Niall Prendergast can utilise his full 7lb claim in this race. Moudan's second run in a handicap brought about significant improvement as he finished a close fourth at Tipperary and that form has been franked. Barbaha Queen has been off for more than six months but didn't run badly when last seen in Sligo, while My Good Pal is a possible improver on his second start for Gavin Cromwell.

NO BIG DEAL has shaped better than the result on multiple occasions over hurdles and is still unexposed so, on the back of an eye-catching return, he's worth chancing if the market vibes are positive. Last-time-out winners Robindevidastar and Falcon Park are both dangers.

A hopeful vote goes to MY GOOD PAL who showed improvement at Tipperary on his stable debut and may reverse form with Moudan

Should come forward from that given it was his first start for 10 weeks. Not a bad effort when sixth of 18 at Limerick at Christmas; possibilities from 2lb lower.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 -10%) Coffeys Forge		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(4) Coffeys Forge 11/2, Modest maiden who was gambled on but ultimately tired having been ridden too aggressively when eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (18.7f, soft, 2/1) 57 days ago. Made a very interesting yard switch ahead of this and market confidence behind him again would look significant. Tailed off at Limerick; first run for Gordon Elliott so improvement could be on the way.
4	3 4th (3) (13/2 -95%) Doyen For A Drink		6.5 13/2(-95%)																															(3) Doyen For A Drink 13/2, Winner in hurdle at Cartmel in August. 9/1, fell in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, soft) 19 days ago, yet to be asked for effort fully when falling 2 out. Worth siding with to confirm promise of that run here. Was in front and travelling well when falling two out over 2m4f at Limerick when last seen.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 +72%) Misty Milan		4.5 9/2(+72%)																															(5) Misty Milan 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, twelfth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Up in trip. Surprise were she not capable of better for shrewd yard. Maiden in 5 starts who failed to raise her profile on handicap debut at Tipperary in April.
6th	12 6th (12) (9/4 +81%) Johnny Cakes		2.25 9/4(+81%)																															(12) Johnny Cakes 9/4, 9/2, tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (19.4f, soft) 43 days ago, beaten early in the straight. Rider takes off a handy 7 lb. Couldn't quicken here latest but 8lb lower here and can't be discounted for in-form stable.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 -33%) Castlehill Boy		12 12/1(-33%)																															(8) Castlehill Boy 12/1, Creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at this course (19.4f, soft) 43 days ago. May be sharper now given that was his first start for 7 months. Closely matched with some of these rivals on C&D 6th last month but 10yo is still a maiden.
8th	2 8th (2) (20/1 -150%) Mount Shenshan		20 20/1(-150%)																															(2) Mount Shenshan 20/1, Shantou gelding who showed some promise in bumpers and steadily progressive in this sphere, fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, soft, 11/2) 142 days ago. Hood back on and there ought to be better to come now handicapping. Fair opening mark and Danny Mullins has deserted Ardfert Mary to ride her; good chance.
9th	11 9th (11) (16/1 -78%) Ardfert Mary		16 16/1(-78%)																															(11) Ardfert Mary 16/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. Fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Tramore (22.8f, heavy, 17/2) 14 days ago, headway around 3 out but not sustain effort. Type to bounce back returned to hurdles over this shorter trip. Low-grade maiden hurdler; Danny Mullins has jumped ship; can run well without threatening.
10	10 |PU| (10) (40/1 -60%) Rorkes Drift		40 40/1(-60%)																															(10) Rorkes Drift 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at this course (16.4f, soft) 43 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Well beaten in 5 maiden hurdles, including when fifth and beaten 67l behind Salvator Mundi.
6	6 |PU| (6) (66/1 -230%) Not So Simple		66 66/1(-230%)																															(6) Not So Simple 66/1, Veteran who was off over 2 years and went with no encouragement when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, soft, 100/1) 19 days ago, beaten long way out. Best watched at present. Has won 3 handicap hurdles but was never sighted on return from an 835-day absence latest.

DOYEN FOR A DRINK departed at the penultimate flight when travelling well in the lead at Limerick last month. She encounters similar trip and ground, so should be heavily involved. Coffeys Forge has been out of form but has joined Gordon Elliott, who is well able to reinvigorate new recruits. Peter Smithers takes 7lb off top-weight Elusive Guy's back and his sixth in a slightly better class of race at Limerick over Christmas gives him a chance. Mount Shenshan drops back in trip after a fourth-placed effort at Ballinrobe in the summer and she isn't out of it on her handicap debut.

DOYEN FOR A DRINK was in the process of showing improved form when falling 2 out at Limerick 19 days ago (going best at the time) and she's fancied to confirm the promise of that run and double her career tally. Mount Shenshan has improved gradually and could yet have more to offer now handicapping. Coffeys Forge on debut for Gordon Elliott and Donegal Danny complete the shortlist.

DOYEN FOR A DRINK probably would have won at Limerick last month but for a fall two from home and she can gain compensation

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.
