EMPIRE SUCCES stands out having already finished first past the post in a maiden hurdle last October. Runner-up in a four-year-old point-to-point last May, he beat the now 116-rated Rue Taylor to score at Wexford in October but was later disqualified due to a failed test. He was well enough held at Tipperary in November but if he returns to his point-to-point or Wexford form, the five-year-old should take all the beating. Is Charlie Around ran well here in February and has a rating of 108 but has yet to race on good ground. Kates Choice ran well at Wexford last month in a contest which is working out quite well.

This can go the way of IS CHARLIE AROUND who is improving with each outing and wasn't beaten far here last time

Course bumper winner FAD EADRAINN has good hurdles form and can carry his 8lb penalty and win. A ground-versatile and consistent performer, he was beaten by a Grade 1-placed winner last month and notably finished ahead of two subsequent maiden hurdle winners at Navan, which suggests he is better than his 120 rating. Consistent Hello Jack is the top adjusted-rated runner and is suited by good ground. Frankel-sired Polemon is a three-time Flat winner who needs to show improvement on his hurdles form to win, but faster ground would greatly help his chances.

Runner-up in a strong Navan maiden hurdle last time, FAD EADRAINN(nap) should be able to go one better even carrying an 8lb penalty.

RAYDAMANN has run well in two recent maiden hurdles and might turn Christmas form with today's rival Autumn Twist, who is also rated 1lb higher. The selection was an able Flat performer last year and while 15 lengths behind Autumn Twist at Leopardstown, had valid excuses for that performance. His improved subsequent runs are thus encouraging and he also holds Shaboozee on recent Limerick form.

Though Autumn Twist is 1lb above RAYDAMANN on official ratings, preference is for the latter, who is more ground versatile

VOLEZ VOUS has taken advantage of the recent drop to Ireland's minimum hurdle rating and is seeking a course hat-trick. Despite being well-bred, her initial form was poor but scored from a rating of just 72 here in February, before following up last month. In top form, she has good ground form and can improve past today's 87 rating. Queenofthelodge's initial hurdles form was also poor but showed nice ability in finishing second twice last October and will be ready on seasonal reappearance. Ex-Nicky Henderson-trained Love Bite, a half-sister to Gold Cup-placed Might Bite, was a fortunate November point-to-point winner.

Hat-trick seeking Volez Vous has a hefty 8lb rise and she's taken on with QUEENOFTHELODGE who was on an upward curve when last seen

PARTY PRESIDENT won a big-field handicap hurdle recently and has an obvious chance again, as he races on similarly good ground. His form as a four-year-old last year was ordinary but might continue to progress for his owner/rider, despite having been raised 7lb for his latest Naas success. Party Dress should be competitive off top weight, having won an ordinary maiden hurdle at Thurles last November. She is an able Flat performer who is well suited by good ground and had a useful reappearance run at the Curragh last month. Three-time winner Duke Otto is only 4lb higher than when winning at Wexford last month.

Unexposed 5yo PARTY DRESS stands out as a nice prospect that may be ahead of her mark and she'll be fit from a recent spin on thte Flat

COSMOS D'AINAY was carried out on his racecourse debut here last month and, being a point-to-point winner, has the best form on offer in an average-looking bumper. The selection was bought for 165,000 pounds following his points win at Borris House in December, with that race's runner-up subsequently finishing second in two UK bumpers. Sharp As Glass, who debuts in a hood, is a half-brother to two winners, including useful stayer Panda Boy. Flip Away has a nice Flat pedigree so thus makes a belated career debut in this long-distance bumper, but could be useful.

Gordon Elliott has a cracking strike-rate in bumpers and point winner COSMOS D'AINAY should appreciate this test up in trip

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.
