1	8 1st (8) (16/1 -60%) As Tears Go By		16 16/1(-60%)																															(8) As Tears Go By 16/1, Winner in hurdle at Sligo in July. Eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Ballinrobe (18f, good). Off 8 months and isn't obviously well treated but he's in top hands. Stable in fine early season form but hard to assess and best watched.
2	10 2nd (10) (3.33/1 +49%) Grange Walk		3.33 3.33/1(+49%)																															(10) Grange Walk 3.33/1, Latest win in chase at Gowran in March. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap chase at Punchestown (16f, good to soft, 33/1) 14 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Not as good over hurdles but carrying good chase form into this contest off 33lb lower.
3	16 3rd (16) (5/1 -25%) Pont Audemer		5 5/1(-25%)																															(16) Pont Audemer 5/1, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in January. 6/1, good third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 52 days ago. Progressing well and a must for the shortlist. Up 19lb in total; handicapper not making it easy but unlikely to be far away once more.
4	3 4th (3) (22/1 -10%) Cerberus		22 22/1(-10%)																															(3) Cerberus 22/1, Twelfth of 16 in maiden (20/1) at Limerick (8f, soft) 19 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Cheekpieces back on. Fairly useful hurdler. No show last twice including in a Flat maiden at Limerick; others preferred.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 +58%) Walnut Beach		14 14/1(+58%)																															(5) Walnut Beach 14/1, 66/1, below form thirteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Not as effective lately although ran better than his finishing position at Punchestown.
6th	9 6th (9) (6/1 +33%) Bal De Rio		6 6/1(+33%)																															(9) Bal De Rio 6/1, Course winner. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in April. Bit below form fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft, 9/2) 21 days ago, never on terms. More solid handicap form than many of these and handles most ground; should go well.
7th	14 7th (14) (5.5/1 +61%) Big Island		5.5 5.5/1(+61%)																															(14) Big Island 5.5/1, Winner in hurdle at Galway in September. Good third of 16 in handicap (18/1) at Limerick (8f, soft) 19 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Good return to action when third in a 1m handicap at Limerick last month; claims.
8th	1 8th (1) (100/1 -203%) Quirt Evans		100 100/1(-203%)																															(1) Quirt Evans 100/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 100/1, last of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.4f, good). Off 7 months. Down in trip. Down to a reasonable mark if he can rediscover some form but likely best watched.
9th	17 9th (17) (4/1 +47%) Betty Dutton		4 4/1(+47%)																															(17) Betty Dutton 4/1, Promising sort. 8/1, creditable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Open to improvement. RESERVE. First reserve; maiden hurdle winner far from disgraced on her handicap debut at Kilbeggan.
6	6 |U| (6) (18/1 -80%) Auckland		18 18/1(-80%)																															(6) Auckland 18/1, Winner in hurdle at Killarney in May. Ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (24f, heavy, 8/1). Off 6 months. Significantly down in trip. Form tailed off last year; probably best watched after more than six months off.
10th	12 10th (12) (40/1 -21%) Vischio		40 40/1(-21%)																															(12) Vischio 40/1, 50/1, eighteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Still 7 lb above last winning mark. Well beaten on her return in a much more competitive heat at Punchestown; others preferred.
11th	4 11th (4) (40/1 -21%) Francois		40 40/1(-21%)																															(4) Francois 40/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, carried out in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft, 100/1) 14 days ago. Blinkers now the headgear of choice. Reverted back to hurdles when carried out at Punchestown, was in contention at the time.
12th	13 12th (13) (11/1 -57%) Boom Boom Boom		11 11/1(-57%)																															(13) Boom Boom Boom 11/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap (7/2) at Dundalk (16f). Switches from Flat to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut for shrewd yard so market check advised given progress on the level. No run over hurdles since 2021 but of interest off a mark with potential mileage.
13th	15 13th (15) (33/1 -106%) Morning Logic		33 33/1(-106%)																															(15) Morning Logic 33/1, 11/1, below form eleventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.3f, good). Off 7 months. Well beaten in a Punchestown handicap last time; others preferred after seven months off.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well in the race. However, some horses worth considering for the top three positions are 4/1 (16) PONT AUDEMER, 9/1 (9) BAL DE RIO, and 6/1 (18) FUTURE PROOF (if they make it into the race as a reserve). These horses have shown some recent form and have been competitive in previous races. However, it is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable, and other horses could surprise and perform better than expected.

PONT AUDEMER faces older horses but has already run well in handicaps and remains unexposed. An easy-to-back winner at Limerick in January, his two subsequent runs were satisfactory with the Navan form working out well and he should continue to progress. Grange Walk is rated 33lb higher over fences and while very capable in that sphere, was beaten from today's same rating in his last two hurdles, although his latest run was when a useful third over course and distance last November. New Ross doesn't look ahead of the handicapper and would prefer a sound surface while Tom McGreevy has useful recent form but would prefer good ground. As Tears Go By is possibly best watched on reappearance on handicap debut. Morning Logic was hampered before finishing well held at Punchestown while reappearing Boom Boom Boom needs a sound surface.

The interesting one here is BOOM BOOM BOOM on handicap debut over hurdles given he's improved on the level since we last saw him tackling obstacles. Pont Audemer is a rock-solid opponent, with Tom McGreevy completing the shortlist.

There was plenty to like about the return to action of BIG ISLAND in a Limerick Flat maiden and he gets a sporting selection

1	3 1st (3) (2.5/1 +50%) Gentleman Joe		2.5 2.5/1(+50%)																															(3) Gentleman Joe 2.5/1, Unseated rider at Punchestown latest but had got back on track when seventh of 19 in Fairyhouse handicap hurdle (16f, soft) previously and must enter calculations. Unseated when in with a chance at Punchestown; probably wants further but respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 +0%) Stuzzikini		5 5/1(+0%)																															(1) Stuzzikini 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner novice hurdle (10/11) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Yard in good form. Likely contender. Back to form when landing a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last month; clear chance on that form.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -300%) Estepona Sun		12 12/1(-300%)																															(5) Estepona Sun 12/1, Still looking for first success but made the frame on several occasions last summer and will be a player if ready to roll after 7-month absence. Not seen since down the field in Bellewstown Flat handicap in September; others preferred.
4	4 4th (4) (2.25/1 +44%) Western Comandor		2.25 2.25/1(+44%)																															(4) Western Comandor 2.25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 12/1, career best when winning 19-runner novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, heavy) 55 days ago, always holding on. This looks tougher but he warrants respect. Showed at Down Royal that that he might be better going left-handed but should go well.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.33/1 -21%) Wasthatok		3.33 3.33/1(-21%)																															(2) Wasthatok 3.33/1, Made winning start over hurdles when taking 13-runner novice at Kilbeggan (15f, good to soft) 21 days ago, easily. May well do better yet and holds strong claims. Landed a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last month despite some novicey jumping; can only improve.

LTO Selection:

---

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to do well are 5/1 (1) STUZZIKINI, 4/1 (4) WESTERN COMANDOR, and 2.75/1 (2) WASTHATOK. 5/1 (1) STUZZIKINI has shown recent form and is a fairly useful hurdler. 4/1 (4) WESTERN COMANDOR has won a novice hurdle before and warrants respect. 2.75/1 (2) WASTHATOK won a maiden hurdle last month and can only improve. 33/1 (6) FEMALE APPROACH is not expected to perform well in this company. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is 5/1 (1) STUZZIKINI in first place, followed by 2.75/1 (2) WASTHATOK in second, and 4/1 (4) WESTERN COMANDOR in third.

WASTHATOK won well on jumps debut recently, having shown promise in useful bumpers. He seemed to improve at Kilbeggan and can progress further jumping-wise. Stuzzikini won a Kilbeggan maiden and the Punchestown charity race and while his rider claim 5lbs, nonetheless has enough weight tackling a capable selection. Western Comandor won a Down Royal maiden in which Stuzzikini pulled up in March (the third-placed horse showed himself in a better light subsequently) and should be competitive from his 116 rating. Gentleman Joe, Listed-placed on the Flat, has been a shade disappointing over hurdles but had plenty horses behind him in a useful Fairyhouse handicap last month. Estepona Sun reappears following a layoff, would prefer good ground and hasn't won for almost three years.

Preference is for WASTHATOK, who scored at the first time of asking in this sphere at Kilbeggan last month and remains open to improvement. Stuzzikini may provide the chief threat.

Another progressive type is WASTHATOK (nap) who won readily at Kilbeggan and can only improve further

1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +75%) Evesham Road		5 5/1(+75%)																															(4) Evesham Road 5/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in bumper (8/1) at Cork (19f, soft) on NH debut 31 days ago, faring best of those held up. Makes hurdles debut and the betting could prove an informative guide. Staying-on fourth on his track debut in a point-to-point bumper at Cork last month.
2	2 2nd (2) (28/1 -460%) Napper Tandy		28 28/1(-460%)																															(2) Napper Tandy 28/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Second of 12 in handicap at Epsom (12f, heavy, 16/1). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Might just be best watched on his hurdle and stable debut after eight months off.
3	11 3rd (11) (3/1 +67%) Power Hour		3 3/1(+67%)																															(11) Power Hour 3/1, Fair hurdler. Very good second of 13 in novice hurdle (8/1) at Tramore (20.3f, soft) 25 days ago, ridden after 3 out and staying on. Each-way claims once more. Second in a Tramore maiden hurdle last month; should be thereabouts with a repeat.
4	12 4th (12) (4/1 +60%) Skradin		4 4/1(+60%)																															(12) Skradin 4/1, Promising individual. 5/6, second of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) 51 days ago, doing too much too soon. Likely to progress further and he's respected. Good run here last time; needs to improve again but this longer trip might help.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 -257%) Gino Drummer Boy		50 50/1(-257%)																															(6) Gino Drummer Boy 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, shaped much better than distance beaten suggests when tenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Navan (20f, soft) back in January 2022. However, absent since and handicaps entitled to be more his bag moving forward. No show in a couple of more competitive maiden hurdles early last year; best watched.
6th	1 6th (1) (2.25/1 +0%) Fameaftertheglory		2.25 2.25/1(+0%)																															(1) Fameaftertheglory 2.25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 16/5 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form third of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Certainly become frustrating but blinkers go back on here and he looks sure to be thereabouts. Has been said more than once that he has a very winnable opportunity here, this is another.
7th	3 7th (3) (40/1 -21%) Coffee Bay		40 40/1(-21%)																															(3) Coffee Bay 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, soft) on NH debut 25 days ago. Probably one for later on. Midfield on last month's Tramore debut; will need to come on hugely to feature here.
8th	16 8th (16) (100/1 -203%) Vintage Gold		100 100/1(-203%)																															(16) Vintage Gold 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 40/1, eleventh of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Passed over. Well beaten at Tramore last month; may do better in handicaps.
9th	5 9th (5) (125/1 -279%) Getaway Henry		125 125/1(-279%)																															(5) Getaway Henry 125/1, Well held all 3 starts in bumpers and similar story over hurdles so far. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Soundly beaten to date in bumpers and maiden hurdles and makes no appeal.
10th	8 10th (8) (80/1 +0%) Ladyeze Man		80 80/1(+0%)																															(8) Ladyeze Man 80/1, Snow Sky gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Better Than Heaven. Dam unraced. From a good staying family but best watched on debut.
11th	17 11th (17) (66/1 -100%) Eddierocket		66 66/1(-100%)																															(17) Eddierocket 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 19 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (20.2f, soft) on NH debut 23 days ago. Reserve 1. First reserve; didn't count in midfield on last month's Tipperary bow; may need more time.
15	15 |PU| (15) (7/1 -56%) All In Peder		7 7/1(-56%)																															(15) All In Peder 7/1, Well held first 4 starts on Flat but made more impact switched to hurdling when second in 4-runner Aintree juvenile (16.5f) last June. Fit from a creditable third back from 9 months off on the Flat at Navan (13f) in March but handicaps may be more his bag in this sphere. Hard to assess on his Aintree run last summer; no surprise if he went well though.
7	7 |PU| (7) (12/1 +14%) Itso Vango		12 12/1(+14%)																															(7) Itso Vango 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 8/1, good third of 11 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (25f, good). Off 8 months. Down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Back in trip here in a first-time tongue-tie after nine months off; not discounted.
9	9 |PU| (9) (66/1 +18%) Longagoanfarbehind		66 66/1(+18%)																															(9) Longagoanfarbehind 66/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving Brian Francis Cawley when 66/1, unseated rider in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.2f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. This should reveal more. 66-1 when unseating midrace on hurdling debut at Kilbeggan.
13	13 |PU| (13) (150/1 -20%) Soldier's Three		150 150/1(-20%)																															(13) Soldier's Three 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Thurles (23.7f, good to soft, 250/1) 77 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Pulled up both maidens over the winter; blinkers now fitted but makes no appeal for now.

LTO Selection:

1st: 10/1 (12) SKRADIN 2nd: 9/1 (11) POWER HOUR 3rd: 2.25/1 (1) FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY

Lowly-rated but unexposed flat performer ALL IN PEDER bumped into a now four-time hurdles winner on jumps debut at Aintree last June. That third-placed horse was a previous winner and while All In Peder was recently beaten on a heavy-ground flat handicap, could be suited by this extra distance, on a sounder surface and is now race-fit. Fameaftertheglory has been unable to concede his bumper-winners' penalty over hurdles and was well held at Kilbeggan recently. Evesham Road finished ahead of Marv Michael in a recent bumper, where the third-horse improved to win well subsequently. Both are closely matched although Marv Michael has a better profile being a debut winner (beating two subsequent points winners) at Kinsale and should improve from that Cork reappearance. Skradin was a beaten favourite in an ordinary contest here in March while Power Hour has been running well but also has plenty on his plate. Itso Vango would prefer good ground and reappears in a first-time tongue-tie.

FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY has undoubtedly become frustrating over jumps but there's no doubting he has the ability to land a race of this nature and, with blinkers refitted, this could be the day he gets off the mark. Skradin ran his best race yet when runner-up over 2m here latest and is feared, with hurdles debutant Marv Michael and All In Peder others to note.

Maybe it could pay to give one final chance to FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY who has to come good at some stage

1	2 1st (2) (9/1 -20%) Rathnaleen Kal		9 9/1(-20%)																															(2) Rathnaleen Kal 9/1, Very good second of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, soft, 40/1) 23 days ago. Not taken lightly. Fine handicap debut at Tipperary makes her a likely leading player here.
2	15 2nd (15) (6/1 +20%) Reflectionist		6 6/1(+20%)																															(15) Reflectionist 6/1, 40/1, last of 11 in handicap hurdle at Naas (18.8f, heavy) 123 days ago. First run for yard after leaving David Peter Dunne. Hood on for 1st time in this code. Improvement required. Poor form last season in light campaign; first start for Gavin Cromwell with hood tried.
3	9 3rd (9) (3/1 +60%) Lilian Bland		3 3/1(+60%)																															(9) Lilian Bland 3/1, Posted best effort over hurdles when second of 12 in handicap at this course (19.5f, heavy, 14/1) 35 days ago. Remains on a feasible mark and is one for the shortlist. Recent C&D second makes her a leading player despite 4lb rise.
4	10 4th (10) (20/1 -100%) Latest Model		20 20/1(-100%)																															(10) Latest Model 20/1, Unseated rider in handicap chase (11/1) at Wexford (20f, good to soft) on debut over fences 67 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Needs a couple of these to falter. Didn't progress last season and unseated on recent chase debut.
5th	7 5th (7) (6/1 +8%) Aliunde		6 6/1(+8%)																															(7) Aliunde 6/1, Promising type who found improvement, on return from 3 months off, when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.7f, heavy, 6/1) 39 days ago. May well do better yet. Downpatrick comeback run a definite step in the right direction; should go well.
6th	11 6th (11) (10/1 +17%) Kate Ill Know		10 10/1(+17%)																															(11) Kate Ill Know 10/1, Yet to add to course debut success (16f) in 2021 but has shaped as if a step up in trip would suit in recent starts and figures off a handy mark. Maiden runs well here and has her ground but unproven over this far.
7th	8 7th (8) (14/1 +30%) Galmar		14 14/1(+30%)																															(8) Galmar 14/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (18/1) at this course (19.8f, heavy) 114 days ago, losing touch 4 out. Hard to fancy. Glimpses of form but hard to fancy after run here in January.
8th	1 8th (1) (66/1 -164%) Dorans River		66 66/1(-164%)																															(1) Dorans River 66/1, Unreliable type. Bit below form ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (24.2f, good, 28/1). Off 19 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Patrick G. Kelly. Veteran returns from 20 months absence here for new yard and best watched.
9th	3 9th (3) (9/1 +10%) Go Gill Go		9 9/1(+10%)																															(3) Go Gill Go 9/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable third of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, soft, 9/1) 23 days ago. Warrants respect. Tipperary third was promising but has a bit to find with Rathnaleen Kal on that.
10th	6 10th (6) (80/1 -142%) Danegeld		80 80/1(-142%)																															(6) Danegeld 80/1, Eighth of 13 in handicap chase (66/1) at Tramore (15.1f, soft) 25 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back up in trip. Others preferred. Never counted on Tramore comeback, hard to see him improving enough to feature here.
11th	14 11th (14) (6.5/1 +0%) Leading The Way		6.5 6.5/1(+0%)																															(14) Leading The Way 6.5/1, 9/2, creditable fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, soft) 23 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Each-way claims. Disappointing favourite at Tipperary and plenty to find with a couple of today's rivals.
12th	16 12th (16) (66/1 -100%) Grinn		66 66/1(-100%)																															(16) Grinn 66/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap chase (33/1) at Downpatrick (19.2f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Back from winter break when tailed off at Downpatrick six days ago; hard to fancy.
13th	5 13th (5) (14/1 +30%) Duke Otto		14 14/1(+30%)																															(5) Duke Otto 14/1, 8/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Bellewstown (14.3f, heavy) 35 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Longer trip could suit so don't dismiss.
14th	4 14th (4) (18/1 +10%) Yewood		18 18/1(+10%)																															(4) Yewood 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft, 50/1) 46 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. Bit more promising last time; not one to rule out here on handicap debut.

1st - 7.5/1 (2) RATHNALEEN KAL 2nd - 7.5/1 (9) LILIAN BLAND 3rd - 6.5/1 (7) ALIUNDE

LILIAN BLAND has improved recently and ran well over course and distance last month. Ground-versatile, she won a point-to-point in February and bumped into now 21lb higher-rated Mighty Jeremy here in April. Rathnaleen Kal ran well on handicap debut at Tipperary, finishing ahead of third-placed Go Gill Go and fifth-placed Leading The Way (which had chased home Mighty Jeremy at Cork in March) and the trio should each again compete well. Aliunde finished reasonably well in a similar Downpatrick race recently while Duke Otto has claims on best form but is a 14-race maiden.

ALIUNDE upped his game when third at Downpatrick last time and remains low mileage. He can open his account here. Lilian Bland and Kate Ill Know head the list of dangers.

Plenty with chances, none more so than LILLIAN BLAND, whose C&D second to the progressive Mighty Jeremy last month reads well

Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer. Mildly encouraging maiden run latest but opening mark looks harsh.
2	4 2nd (4) (25/1 -25%) Roman Parish		25 25/1(-25%)																															(4) Roman Parish 25/1, Eighth of 14 in novice chase at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft, 33/1) on debut over fences 24 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Last month's chase debut was poor; probably needs more respite from the handicapper.
3	8 3rd (8) (14/1 +58%) Sixty Seconds		14 14/1(+58%)																															(8) Sixty Seconds 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 9/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Thurles (21f, heavy) 59 days ago, pulled up 2 out. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to progress. Tame Thurles effort raises questions but remains a potential improver on handicap debut.
4	9 4th (9) (4.5/1 +25%) Anstand		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(9) Anstand 4.5/1, 4/1, bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, soft) 25 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Runner-up over 2m here in February but well below that form twice since; blinkered now.
5th	12 5th (12) (14/1 -17%) Westernerona		14 14/1(-17%)																															(12) Westernerona 14/1, One win from 22 NH runs. Broke blood vessel when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.5f, good to firm, 7/1), losing touch. Off 9 months. Absent since pulled up at Tramore in August so likely to need this.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +0%) Mosaaheb		20 20/1(+0%)																															(7) Mosaaheb 20/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 4 in minor event hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.5f, heavy) 106 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Probably wants better ground so best watched on return to action.
7th	15 7th (15) (14/1 -17%) Happy Dancing		14 14/1(-17%)																															(15) Happy Dancing 14/1, Eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.3f, good, 7/1). Off 12 months. Overall modest form and needs to jump better than at Ballinrobe last time.
8th	10 8th (10) (40/1 -60%) Rathnaleen Zoey		40 40/1(-60%)																															(10) Rathnaleen Zoey 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 100/1, twelfth of 23 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy). Off 6 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. May need better ground so best watched on handicap debut.
9th	13 9th (13) (50/1 -52%) Ballygriffin Girl		50 50/1(-52%)																															(13) Ballygriffin Girl 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving J. P. Flavin when pulled up in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Tramore (20.3f, soft) 25 days ago, pulled up after 3 out. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Poor form in maidens and pulled up in both handicap attempts; cheekpieces tried.
19	19 |F| (19) (1.25/1 +38%) I Am Spider Man		1.25 1.25/1(+38%)																															(19) I Am Spider Man 1.25/1, Winner in hurdle at Sedgefield in October. Eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20f, soft, 5/1). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Noel C. Kelly. Enters calculations. RESERVE. Sedgefield winner last season for Noel Kelly and absent since October; reserve.
16	16 |PU| (16) (6/1 +57%) Ventnor		6 6/1(+57%)																															(16) Ventnor 6/1, Remains a maiden after 19 NH runs. 18/1, tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 66 days ago. Placed over 2m here last season but remains unproven over this far.
14	14 |PU| (14) (16/1 +36%) Lough Na Fooey		16 16/1(+36%)																															(14) Lough Na Fooey 16/1, Fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Naas (15.4f, soft) 60 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Handicap form so far poor; potential improver as the ground dries.
11	11 |PU| (11) (50/1 -355%) Stealing Kisses		50 50/1(-355%)																															(11) Stealing Kisses 50/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at this course (19.9f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Blinkers on 1st time. Midfield in Downpatrick maiden in July, both handicap efforts afterwards poor; blinkered.
3	3 |PU| (3) (50/1 -150%) Sunwalk		50 50/1(-150%)																															(3) Sunwalk 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. 250/1, eighteenth of 22 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft) 173 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Flat winner not a natural over hurdles so far and of limited appeal on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

---

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will win the race. However, 1.75/1 (5) BELLA UNION and 6/1 (9) ANSTAND appear to have good chances on their previous form, with 1.75/1 (5) BELLA UNION being a promising individual and 6/1 (9) ANSTAND having recently run competitively with blinkers on. For the remaining places, 20/1 (7) MOSAAHEB and 11/1 (11) STEALING KISSES may have potential to improve as lightly-raced maidens, while 8.5/1 (17) BEECHROAD WINNIE, 2/1 (19) I AM SPIDER MAN, and 10/1 (2) LA HACIENDA cannot be counted out. The reserves, Return Of The Sea and Bit Below Form, may also be worth considering if they make it into the race. Overall, it is a very competitive field and any of these horses could surprise with a strong performance.

LA HACIENDA's hurdles' form is poor but is a capable flat handicapper. She pulled up on her only previous handicap hurdle run at Kilbeggan in April 2022 but subsequently improved her flat rating to 86, winning useful handicaps at Leopardstown, Galway and Killarney and likes easy ground. Sunwalk was last rated 72 on the flat and while also beaten long distances over hurdles thus far, drops markedly in grade on handicap hurdle debut. Andstand has proven handicap hurdles form and while well held at Tramore, is now tried in first-time blinkers and is suited by soft ground. Bella Union shaped with promise in bumpers but faded at Fairyhouse in February. Ventnor is a 26-race maiden who was well held at Leopardstown. Third reserve I Am Spider Man would be a notable runner having won at Sedgefield last October but would prefer a sound surface.

BELLA UNION has yet to trouble the judge but he showed enough on his penultimate start at Punchestown to suggest that a race of this nature would be within his grasp. If the first-time blinkers have the desired effect, Anstand could be the one to follow the selection home. Battle of Ridgeway may well up his game now pitched into a handicap and he is third choice.

A chance is taken on the fitness after a long absence of LA HACIENDA, who is potentially verry well-handicapped back hurdling

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, heavy, 40/1) 135 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ian O'Connor. Others more persuasive.

Creditable fourth of 14 in claiming hurdle (6/1) at this course (18.5f, heavy) 51 days ago. Others more persuasive. One to consider given his record here but ideally wants better ground.
4	18 4th (18) (11/1 -57%) Early Arrival		11 11/1(-57%)																															(18) Early Arrival 11/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, soft, 6/1) 25 days ago, all out. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. RESERVE. Tramore winner up 7lb but every chance if getting a run; reserve.

9th	7 9th (7) (20/1 -11%) Clairmc		20 20/1(-11%)																															(7) Clairmc 20/1, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16.2f, soft, 14/1) 46 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Looked to find 2m inadequate last time; should appreciate return to this longer trip.
10th	1 10th (1) (12/1 -50%) Hans Gruber		12 12/1(-50%)																															(1) Hans Gruber 12/1, First run since leaving J. D. Motherway when good third of 10 in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, heavy, 13/2) 124 days ago, refusing to settle. Down in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Cork maiden third a potential improver back in trip for handicap debut.
11th	14 11th (14) (66/1 -230%) Craic Eile		66 66/1(-230%)																															(14) Craic Eile 66/1, 50/1, creditable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.6f, good to soft) 24 days ago.

LTO Selection:

---

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to do well and potentially finish in the top three are as follows: 1. 6/1 (9) LUCKY ZEBO - recent Kilbeggan winner and in good form with a career-best win. Trainer is also going well. 2. 3/1 (10) STILYKER - Tramore winner last June and performed well in their last run, winning a 13-runner handicap hurdle. Could go close. 3. 8/1 (5) SOLITARY MAN - one of the least exposed horses in the race, entering handicap company. Should progress and could potentially surprise. Reserve horses that could potentially do well if they get a run are 7/1 (18) EARLY ARRIVAL and 16/1 (19) YOUNG DARLEEN.

STILYKER reappears following another long layoff but looks well handicapped. He improved to win for Willie Mullins last June and while scoring by just a neck, the runner-up has since improved his rating by 24lb. His winning rider Paul Townend is in America for the Iroquois Hurdle and soft ground isn't ideal, but Stilyker will be ready on reappearance. Near-neighbour Criminal Mischief, a chasing type, won an ordinary course maiden in March and while he ran satisfactorily on handicap debut at Tramore (finished ahead of Tramore-specialist Craic Eile), might struggle to beat an on-song selection. Lucky Zebo's maiden hurdle form was unexciting and is 8lb higher than when winning at Kilbeggan but should get involved. Bumper winner Ballycashin makes her handicap debut following a break while Solitary Man steps up in trip on handicap debut. Clairmc has bits of form but is a 12-race maiden.

The one who appeals most is STILYKER, who got off the mark on his first start for Willie Mullins at Tramore when last seen 11 months ago. That success was gained on the back of a similar absence to that which he is returning from here, so lack of a recent run is no great concern. Solitary Man appears to have been brought along steadily with handicaps in mind and is interesting now pitched into one, while Lucky Zebo, who opened his account at Kilbeggan 3 weeks ago, also enters calculations.

Preference is for recent Kilbeggan winner LUCKY ZEBO, providing the ground doesn't worsen too much

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 1/1 (9) OLD GROUND seems like the strongest contender for first place as a well-bred newcomer with a good debut opportunity. 3.5/1 (10) SILVER LARK and 16/1 (5) JIMMYIES DREAM could be contenders for second and third place, respectively. However, as with all horse races, factors such as current form, jockey performance, and track conditions can greatly affect the outcome, so it ultimately remains unpredictable.

OLD GROUND has an excellent pedigree and represents the champion trainer. All six of her siblings to-have-raced have won and each has shown smart form, including half-sister and top class racemare Colreevy, herself a Grade 1 bumper winner. Silver Lark has form and while she disappointed at Down Royal in March, beat a subsequent Kilbeggan winner into third at Thurles in February. Little Green Lady is out of a nicely related bumper winning mare while John Gleeson is a notable booking for Jimmyies Dream, a sister to four-timer winner Happy Jacky, but who makes a belated debut aged six. Midnight Fairy is out of a hurdle-winning dam.

OLD GROUND is related to six winners and in top hands, so she's worth chancing first time out in what doesn't look a particularly strong bumper. Silver Lark is the best of those with experience in this sphere and ranks as the main danger.

This looks a good opportunity for the well-bred OLD GROUND to make a winning debut

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.
