1st (2)  (5.5/1 +0%)Desert Friend |
5.5/1(+0%)  |
 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Desert Friend 5.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Sixth of 11 in novice chase (40/1) at Limerick (22.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 15 days ago. Should improve. Consistent sort and encouraging enough chase debut but may find this test sharp. |
|
2nd (4)  (12/1 -41%)Takarengo |
12/1(-41%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Takarengo 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler. One win from 25 NH runs. Below form eighth of 14 in novice chase (17/2) at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Others preferred. Not as good over jumps and couldn't build on chase debut when tailed off latest. |
|
3rd (7)  (7/1 +7%)Bonarc |
7/1(+7%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Bonarc 7/1, Fair chaser. 16/1, seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 10 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has good chance on pick of form. Promise in 2 chase starts; out of form over timber of late; trip/ground in her favour. |
|
4th (1)  (20/1 +0%)Darkened |
20/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Darkened 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 22/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap on the Flat at Roscommon (11.7f, good) 8 days ago. Makes chase debut. Not ruled out. 3-19 over timber; not at his best of late and would need career best on chase debut here. |
|
5th (6)  (0.62/1 +32%)Top Speed |
0.62/1(+32%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Top Speed 0.62/1, Fair form over hurdles. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 19-runner novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 39 days ago, pushed out Type to take to chasing and makes obvious appeal. Point winner; progressive over hurdles and made all latest; the one to beat on chase debut. |
|
6th (5)  (6.5/1 +19%)The Priests Leap |
6.5/1(+19%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) The Priests Leap 6.5/1, Fair chaser. 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving William Durkan when last of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 25 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Not one to write off. Showed he retained ability with 4th in Oct'; really struggled since, inc' yard bow latest. |
|
7th (3)  (200/1 -33%)Landue |
200/1(-33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Landue 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 13f on flat. 100/1, fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft). Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. 5-time Flat winner; struggled in 5 hurdle starts; hard to fancy on chase bow; off 229. |
TOP SPEED was a debut point-to-point winner in 2021 and has useful recent form. He won in a first-time tongue-tie, which is now left off, at Down Royal and being in good form and proven over this distance and on a sound ground, should take beating with race conditions suiting, given he is rated 116 over hurdles. Desert Friend is similarly rated and while capable, is more exposed than the selection and was also well beaten on his recent chase debut. Dual hurdle winner Bonarc ran well enough at Ballinrobe on her reappearance and while she receives plenty weight under her 5lb claimer, might bump into one or two too strong. The Priests Leap was capable in the past but blinkers and cheekpieces have failed to work on recent runs although it is somewhat encouraging connections are persevering. Takarengo, third in the 2020 English Cesarewitch, isn't a natural jumper and was well beaten at Kilbeggan.
TOP SPEED upped his game to score in a novice hurdle at Down Royal and, as an easy winner of his only start in points, he appeals as the type to make a better chaser, so he's preferred to The Priests Leap, who is having just his second outing for Gordon Elliott. Bonarc is another one to consider.

2.75/1(+45%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Name Me Famous 2.75/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. 8/1, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Limerick (17.7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Merits respect. More promise in his last couple of chase starts and may come on for last month's return. |
|
2nd (1)  (3/1 -60%)Top Line Tommy |
3/1(-60%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Top Line Tommy 3/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Career best when winning 13-runner novice chase (13/2) at Tramore (21f, good) 7 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Back down in trip. Should take all the beating. Came on from return with 16l career best win last week; new mark back in h'cap is fair. |
|
3rd (5)  (3.6/1 +20%)Berliet Express |
3.6/1(+20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Berliet Express 3.6/1, Creditable second of 13 in handicap chase (9/1) at Limerick (17.7f, good to soft) 15 days ago, staying on well. Solid claims. Step back in right direction at Limerick last month when 5l in front of Name Me Famous. |
|
4th (6)  (11/1 +39%)Powerful Blue |
11/1(+39%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Powerful Blue 11/1, Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 9 days ago. Makes chase debut. Makes handicap chase debut. Unplaced in 12 starts and this looks tough on chase debut from 1lb out of the handicap. |
|
5th (2)  (8/1 -14%)Coole Arcade |
8/1(-14%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Coole Arcade 8/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. Eleventh of 13 in handicap chase at Tipperary (17f, good to soft, 11/2) 36 days ago. Something to prove at present, although may strip fitter for his return. Promise over fences but lost his way more recently; mark looks stiff on what he's achieved. |
|
6th (3)  (4.5/1 +0%)Dreamsrmadeofthis |
4.5/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Dreamsrmadeofthis 4.5/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 7/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap chase at Limerick (17.7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. One to consider. No wins since debut; 0-8 fences; step back in right direction latest; must build on that. |
|
|F| (7)  (25/1 +69%)I'vedoneitall |
25/1(+69%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) I'vedoneitall 25/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (66/1) at Limerick (17.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 15 days ago. Pulled up in last four starts including chase debut last time; 3lb wrong. |
COOLE ARCADE was reported to have suffered an over-reach when disappointing at Tipperary last month but is capable of better and is suited by this distance and good ground. Last summer's form was encouraging and despite being a nine-year-old, is lightly-raced and a little unexposed over fences and should improve from his recent Tipperary race, which was also his reappearance. Top Line Tommy won easily at Tramore and while he can cope with a 9lb rise, today's same rider is unable to claim 3lb and he would ideally prefer further. Berliet Express, Dreamsrmadeofthis and Name Me Famous are closely enough matched on a recent Limerick meeting, when finishing second, third and fourth respectively, although each has yet to win over fences.
TOP LINE TOMMY found improvement to open his account at Tramore recently and, if the race doesn't come too soon, he's well capable of following up. Berliet Express is a big danger on the back of a good second at Limerick and Dreamsrmadeofthis can't be discounted.
TOP LINE TOMMY will be hard to beat if he handles the drop back in trip after a career best win in a beginners' at Tramore last week

1st (4)  (1.62/1 +28%)Mr Saxobeat |
1.62/1(+28%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Mr Saxobeat 1.62/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable thirteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 28/1) 44 days ago. Much respected now going chasing. Generally consistent but lost his way at end of last term; needs career best on chase bow. |
|
2nd (1)  (4/1 -20%)Britzka |
4/1(-20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Britzka 4/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. 50/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 25 days ago. Makes chase debut. Yard having good spell so not ruled out. Won twice over hurdles last year but form has dipped badly; stamina to prove on chase bow. |
|
3rd (2)  (1/1 -20%)Clondaw Hollow |
1/1(-20%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Clondaw Hollow 1/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Only second run in this sphere when good second of 9 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (22f, good to soft, 4/1) 49 days ago. The one to beat. Plenty of promise in 2 chase starts so far and hard to beat if he's in the same form. |
|
4th (3)  (50/1 -25%)Indian Admiral |
50/1(-25%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Indian Admiral 50/1, Fair winning hurdler for Henry De Bromhead in 2021. Off 19 months before pulled up on yard/chase debut at Downpatrick in May. Hard to warm to on that effort. Pulled up a long way out on return from lengthy absence latest; plenty to prove. |
CLONDAW HOLLOW ran well in a recent chase and connections have found an ideal opportunity. He point-to-pointed successfully in 2018 and while he made his chase debut just this year, showed enthusiasm for fences when a runner-up at Kilbeggan, is suited by good ground and should cope with the slight drop in distance. Chase debutant Mr Saxobeat has bits of form in staying hurdles and has previous point-to-point experience. He ran respectably at the Punchestown festival in April but might struggle to beat the selection. Britza continues with his lazy running style but his runs this year have been very disappointing and will need more enthusiasm jumping fences for the first time. Indian Admiral pulled up last month although it was his first start for 571 days.
CLONDAW HOLLOW came in a good second at Kilbeggan on just his second start over fences and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to go one better. Chasing newcomers Britzka and Mr Saxobeat appeal as the duo to chase home John McConnell's fairly useful sort in that order.
It's hard to get away from CLONDAW HOLLOW who has shown enough in two chase starts to suggest he'll have enough for these rivals

|

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Room To Roam 5.5/1, One win from 37 NH runs. Fair winner at 17f over hurdles. 25/1, excellent third of 17 in handicap chase at Thurles (21.9f, good to soft) 106 days ago. More to come in this sphere and should take the beating. Much improved effort when stepped up in trip at Thurles in February; up 2lb and off since. |
|

11/1(-29%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Willywampus 11/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut. Useful level of form over fences last year; workable mark for h'cap chase debut. |
|
4th (4)  (4.5/1 +47%)Where's Bunny |
4.5/1(+47%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Where's Bunny 4.5/1, Three wins from 13 runs last season. Tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20f, good to soft, 25/1) 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others more persuasive. A bit below form of late but should have more to offer back over fences at this trip. |
|
5th (9)  (22/1 +12%)Carnet De Stage |
22/1(+12%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Carnet De Stage 22/1, 33/1, below form tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others make more appeal. Won at Killarney in August but lost his way over fences through winter; plenty to prove. |
|

14/1(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Withallduerespect 14/1, Course winner. Pulled up in handicap chase at Limerick (17.7f, good to soft, 20/1) 15 days ago, dropping away end of back straight. Cheekpieces back on. Hard to make a strong case for. Won over 2m on this card last year but couldn't build on that; pulled up latest. |
|
7th (5)  (25/1 -127%)Dontdooddson |
25/1(-127%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dontdooddson 25/1, Unseated rider in handicap chase (15/2) at Sligo (17.2f, good to soft). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Eoin Christopher McCarthy. Worth monitoring in the betting. Not beaten far at Kilbeggan in July but failed to complete twice since; not well treated. |
|
8th (6)  (6/1 +33%)Lord Gillygooley |
6/1(+33%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lord Gillygooley 6/1, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. Sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Limerick (25.5f, good to soft, 17/2) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Sole win came over hurdles in 2021 over 3m; shown very few signs of return to form of late. |
|
|F| (1)  (3.5/1 +0%)Francois |
3.5/1(+0%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Francois 3.5/1, Third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20.4f, good, 20/1) 7 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Solid claims back over fences. Returned to form with placed effort last week; yet to show same form over fences. |
|
|PU| (11)  (8.5/1 +47%)Delias Pet |
8.5/1(+47%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Delias Pet 8.5/1, 14/1, below form ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good). Off 13 months. Makes chase debut. Others make more appeal. Nothing to write home about in trio of point starts last month and best watched here. |
|
|PU| (7)  (11/1 -100%)Clody Valley |
11/1(-100%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Clody Valley 11/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in November. 25/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, soft) 163 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Has a bit to prove. In good form when last seen over fences; could have more to give and fair record fresh. |
FRANCOIS is a capable hurdler and competes from a favourable chase rating, with his rider claiming 7lb. He initially raced on the Flat in France, was rated 126 over hurdles last year and while well held in his most recent handicap chase at Cork, that was at a much higher level and recently returned to form over hurdles. Room To Roam ran well when last seen in February and being suited by good ground, should compete under his same 7lb claimer. Clody Valley was well held on his two most recent runs but makes his seasonal debut and is an able type at this level on summer ground. Lesssaidthebetter is 7lb out of the handicap under a 7lb claimer and was well held in the uncompetitive Bishopscourt Cup in April.
ROOM TO ROAM ran well at Thurles when last seen 106 days ago and he's well treated based on hurdling form, so he gets the nod ahead of Francois, who was third over hurdles at Down Royal last week. Lesssaidthebetter is another one to consider.
Slight preference is for WILLYWAMPUS who looked promising over fences last term and is on a fair mark for h'cap chase debut

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Rebel Waltz 6.5/1, 33/1, eleventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Promise in 2021 but tailed off in both starts since and has a bit to prove. |
|

5.5/1(+75%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Wild Caprice 5.5/1, 66/1, ninth of 16 in handicap chase at Limerick (22.7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. 0-23; has looked capable of winning races but has lost her way of late. |
|

5.5/1(+45%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Roccorionach 5.5/1, Poor hurdler. Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, good to soft, 11/1) 14 days ago, running on. Makes chase debut. Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. 16-race maiden; struggling in low grade handicap hurdles and this looks tough on chase bow. |
|

14/1(+58%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Punters Poet 14/1, Fair hurdler. Tenth of 15 in handicap (50/1) at Gowran (13.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not disgraced on only chase start but struggled for new yard so far; cheekpieces tried. |
|

2.25/1(+44%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Trendy Lady 2.25/1, Fair hurdler/chaser. Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Limerick (19f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and in the mix. Two chase starts in September were not devoid of promise and ran okay on return latest. |
|

33/1(-18%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Milfordfourthree 33/1, Poor chaser. Ninth of 10 in novice chase at Killarney (20f, good to soft, 150/1) on debut over fences 26 days ago. Lots more is needed. 0-9 under Rules and showed very little on chase debut in a mares' beginners' last month. |
|

3/1(-84%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Kilballyowen 3/1, Promising third of 13 in novice chase (8/1) at Downpatrick (19.2f, good to soft) on debut over fences 21 days ago, running on. Should progress. This winning pointer is a player. Best effort yet when 3rd on chase debut latest and should have more to give at new trip. |
|
8th (1)  (28/1 +15%)Beau's Candle |
28/1(+15%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Beau's Candle 28/1, Poor hurdler. 22/1, creditable sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, soft) 52 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly up in trip. Not discounted. Hasn't shown enough in points or under Rules so far to suggest he can win this. |
|
|PU| (6)  (18/1 +73%)Bonne Derreen |
18/1(+73%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Bonne Derreen 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good, 50/1). Off 10 months. Makes chase debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Point winner but shown nothing under Rules so far and she's been off 308 days. |
KILBALLYOWEN slips in under the radar for this 0-102 race and should benefit from stepping up in distance. A 130,000 pounds purchase following a point-to-point win for Enda Bolger, his racecourse form is largely poor but stayed on quite nicely at Downpatrick recently and this a weak race. Trendy Lady had useful maiden hurdles form last summer and while well held on most recent starts, should strip fitter following a recent reappearance. She has a hurdles rating of 100 and receives a 7lb mares' allowance. Emir De Rots goes well at this course and while lightly raced over fences in recent times, his 2021 chase form was ok and can place today. Points winner Bonne Derreen was well held over hurdles last summer.
Winning pointer KILBALLYOWEN made a promising start in this sphere when third at Downpatrick and can take a sizeable step forward to open his account at the chief expense of Trendy Lady, who rates the form pick of those with experience. Emir de Rots has been in good nick over hurdles and appeals as the best of the remainder for place purposes now back over fences.
Another step up in trip could be the key for point winner KILBALLYOWEN who showed improved form last time and he's unexposed

|
|PU| (7)  (150/1 -127%)Cornhill Lass |
150/1(-127%) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Cornhill Lass 150/1, 150/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 12 in claiming hurdle at Limerick (21f, soft) 129 days ago. First run for yard after leaving J. G. Murray with more needed on her chase debut. 0-18; struggling at start of year; best watched on yard/chase debut here. |
BAL KAUTO is related to Kauto Star and might do his bit for the family name in winning on his chase debut. Out of a maiden half-sister to the dual Gold Cup winner, his form last year was poor and failed to land a gamble on his first start for new connections in April but recently won over hurdles at Limerick and competes from his revised 90 hurdles' rating on chase debut, in a weak race. Chief Seattle won a similar race last September (beating Rule Of June into sixth) and should strip fitter following a recent reappearance run. Rule Of June has been running well recently and is race-fit while Rudy Catrail, a 12-year-old, returned to some form recently and can get involved.
Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and RULE OF JUNE is weighted to gain a second success in this sphere on the back of her good recent Tramore fifth. Bal Kauto has his first go over fences but is still feared most having landed a Limerick handicap hurdle last time out. In-form Chief Seattle is another who can have a say back in this sphere along with veteran Repeat That.
Not many arrive in-form and it may be worth siding with RUDY CATRAIL who wasn't beaten far last weekend and the longer trip will help
Ths is the racecard key.

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.

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.
