13:10 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (11/8 +0%) Tranquil Sea	1.375 11/8(+0%)	(9) Tranquil Sea 11/8, Fair hurdler. 11/4, good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. Will take the beating. Sets a good standard here on his last two runs and probably the one to beat.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 -10%) Firebrand	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(1) Firebrand 11/2, Fair maiden on the 33/1, fourth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) on NH debut 53 days ago, travelling as well as any. Likely to figure. Gelded since Fairyhouse and no surprise should he improve enough to be involved.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/1 +29%) Park That	10 10/1(+29%)	(6) Park That 10/1, Getaway gelding out of a bumper winner who was placed over hurdles. The betting should guide to expectations. Home-bred son of Getaway; likely to improve for what he does here but worth a market check.
4	5 4th (5) (5/2 +0%) Malbay Madness	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(5) Malbay Madness 5/2, Fairly useful Flat winner. Well beaten in Auteuil listed race on hurdle debut but could prov a different proposition in these calmer waters. Tailed off in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil on his sole start over flights but interesting.
5th	10 5th (10) (66/1 -100%) Tyson	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Tyson 66/1, Lord of England gelding. Dam maiden on Flat. Wears hood. Flat pedigree and best watched on his hurdles debut; hooded.
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 -100%) Thegreenthirteen	66 66/1(-100%)	(8) Thegreenthirteen 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 20 in juvenile hurdle at this course (16.7f, heavy, 66/1) on NH debut 10 days ago. Jumped poorly on his hurdles debut here last week but not disgraced; others more likely.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 -71%) Let Him B	12 12/1(-71%)	(4) Let Him B 12/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, well-beaten last of 10 to Shuttle Diplomacy in listed bumper at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) on NH debut 7 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Check the betting. Likely to be better than Limerick and market moves will be the best indicator.
8th	13 8th (13) (66/1 -32%) Duhallow Jury	66 66/1(-32%)	(13) Duhallow Jury 66/1, Jukebox Jury filly. Jukebox Jury filly; may need more of a stamina test.
9th	3 9th (3) (22/1 -10%) Kilcrea Castle	22 22/1(-10%)	(3) Kilcrea Castle 22/1, €5,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Dam, made frame in points, showed little in bumpers/over hurdles. Stoutly bred newcomer; likely to appreciate time and distance.
12	12 \|U\| (12) (20/1 +0%) Drum Roll	20 20/1(+0%)	(12) Drum Roll 20/1, Fair on Flat in France. Shaped as if better for run when seventh of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 125/1) on NH debut 29 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to improve. Showed a bit on the Flat in France but tailed off on hurdles bow at Navan this month.
10th	7 10th (7) (66/1 -32%) Shahbaz	66 66/1(-32%)	(7) Shahbaz 66/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fourteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 66/1) 14 days ago. Stable having good spell. Soundly beaten in both maiden hurdles and likely to be more effective handicapping.
11th	2 11th (2) (22/1 -10%) Kartel And Co	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Kartel And Co 22/1, Racinger gelding. Dam unraced. Half-brother to a pair of winners in France; best watched on debut.
12th	14 12th (14) (28/1 -12%) Nannie Dee	28 28/1(-12%)	(14) Nannie Dee 28/1, Modest on Flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Ffos Las (10f, heavy). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Simon & Ed Crisford. Placed in a couple of handicaps for the Crisfords; best watched on her hurdles debut.
13th	11 13th (11) (33/1 +0%) Connemara Shore	33 33/1(+0%)	(11) Connemara Shore 33/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 22 days ago. Beaten out of sight on debut at Gowran three weeks ago; hard to make a case for.

TRANQUIL SEA has plenty of experience over hurdles and appears to have found a decent opportunity to open his account. The son of Teofilo was only beaten half-a-length by Eagles Reign at Punchestown and the winner went on to finish a highly creditable second at the Cheltenham Festival. He also filled the runner-up spot behind hotpot Angostura in a Gowran maiden earlier this month. Malbay Madness has earned a rating in the 80s following two wins on the Flat including at the Galway Festival last summer and was quite highly tried on his only hurdle start in a Listed race at Auteuil. Firebrand showed some promise on the Flat in France and wasn't disgraced on his hurdle debut at Fairyhouse while Shahbaz and Park That are others to consider.

TRANQUIL SEA sets the standard and gets the nod, although a strong market move for the Emmet Mullins-trained Malbay Madness back over hurdles would put a slightly different slant on things. John Nallen's Fairyhouse hurdle debut fourth Fireband may prove best of the remainder.

Slight preference is for TRANQUIL SEA after two runner-up efforts at Punchestown and Gowran and might just be good enough

13:10 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:45 Cork Conditions Hurdle 16f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (2/7 +0%) Sir Gerhard	0.285714 2/7(+0%)	(1) Sir Gerhard 2/7, Leading novice hurdler of 2021/22 campaign and a smart novice chaser last term. Landed the odds back hurdling at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and stiff task in the Stayers' Hurdle 17 days ago. Hard to oppose back at 2m. Failed to stay 3m in the Stayers' Hurdle last time but this looks a good opportunity.
2	5 2nd (5) (20/1 -25%) Sempo	20 20/1(-25%)	(5) Sempo 20/1, Useful chaser. Off over 2 years. Significantly down in trip. Suspect he'll need this. Ran a cracker in the 2021 Irish Grand National; best watched returning from a huge absence.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +0%) Call Me Lyreen	5 5/1(+0%)	(2) Call Me Lyreen 5/1, Useful hurdler. Six wins from 23 NH runs. 50/1, ninth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 56 days ago. Good chance on these terms on best form. Ran a fine race at Leopardstown last time when hampered and looks the main danger to fav'.
4	6 4th (6) (100/1 +0%) Varna Gold	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) Varna Gold 100/1, Fair hurdler. Ran badly in handicap at Tipperary in early-2022/23. Off 21 months. Impossible to fancy. Rated only 105; can't be fancied on these terms returning from a long absence.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (14/1 +0%) Maidenstreetprince	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Maidenstreetprince 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Off 10 months, 20/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy) on return 154 days ago. Not seen again since but could be capable of better. Well below best at Galway after an absence and best watched returning after another break.

SIR GERHARD looks the one they all have to beat. The three-time Grade 1 winner landed both the Weatherbys Champion Bumper and the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and, after some disappointments over fences, successfully reverted to hurdles at Punchestown this winter. He appeared not to get the trip last time in the Stayers Hurdle at Cheltenham and is well treated here at the weights. Call Me Lyreen won a valuable handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival back in 2022 but has been soundly beaten both over hurdles and fences in the past year. Sempo was fifth behind Freewheelin Dylan in the Irish Grand National but now reappears after nearly three years on the sidelines, while Doyen Ta Win likes to force the pace and has won three handicaps at a low level.

The classy SIR GERHARD sets a clear standard back down markedly in trip and is hard to get away from. Call Me Lyreen is the danger.

Though SIR GERHARD was poor last time at Cheltenham in the Stayers' Hurdle, he can't be opposed down in trip in this company.

13:45 Cork Conditions Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:20 Cork Maiden Hurdle 19f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +50%) Lep Around	5 5/1(+50%)	(6) Lep Around 5/1, Fair form over hurdles before posting a good second of 7 in bumper (15/8) at this course (16f, heavy) on bumper debut 10 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles and must enter calculations. Second in a pair of maiden hurdles and a bumper; likely to get into the shake-up once more.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/8 +13%) Cast A Spell	1.625 13/8(+13%)	(3) Cast A Spell 13/8, Fair hurdler. Winner in bumper at Southwell in June. 200/1, excellent 6¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Birdie Or Bust in listed hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 105 days ago. In the mix. Fourth in a Listed mares' bumper at Thurles in December; deserves to be taken seriously.
3	1 3rd (1) (20/1 -67%) Cappacurry Ealu	20 20/1(-67%)	(1) Cappacurry Ealu 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Very good fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at this course (20f, heavy, 150/1) on hurdles bow 10 days ago. Needs to build on it. Kept going well on her hurdles debut over 2m4f here; each-way chance back in mares company.
4	9 4th (9) (7/1 -56%) Smiling Bess	7 7/1(-56%)	(9) Smiling Bess 7/1, Promising second of 12 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 11/1) on hurdles bow 29 days ago. Should progress. Leading claims. Runner-up in a mares maiden hurdle at Navan four weeks ago; leading contender.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 -67%) Royal Cave	20 20/1(-67%)	(8) Royal Cave 20/1, Modest hurdler. 22/1, sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) on hurdles bow 27 days ago. Others appeal ore. Some decent bumper form; ran okay on her hurdles debut at Leopardstown earlier this month.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 -60%) Dear Ryta	40 40/1(-60%)	(4) Dear Ryta 40/1, Sholokhov mare. Dam unraced sister to fair hurdler/useful chaser (2m-2½m winner) Gentle Alice. Dual point winner although likely best watched on her racecourse debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 +0%) Mrs Biddle	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Mrs Biddle 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, first run since leaving William Delahunty when ninth of 11 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (20f, heavy) 62 days ago. Ran okay in a Tramore maiden hurdle last summer but little to recommend otherwise.
8th	11 8th (11) (50/1 -52%) Queenofthelodge	50 50/1(-52%)	(11) Queenofthelodge 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Nineteenth of 20 in juvenile hurdle at this course (16.7f, heavy, 66/1) on NH debut 10 days ago. Soundly beaten on debut here last week; hard to make a case for on that form.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 +0%) Dinner At Freddys	25 25/1(+0%)	(10) Dinner At Freddys 25/1, Affinisea filly. Dam bumper winner (stayed 2½m over hurdles). Market can guide. Stable have introduced some nice young horses of late and could be worth watching.
10th	5 10th (5) (2/1 -14%) Jokers 'n' Clowns	2 2/1(-14%)	(5) Jokers 'n' Clowns 2/1, Twice-raced maiden. 5/2 and hooded for 1st time, very good second of 16 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. Stable having good spell. Considered. Can still improve and should take some beating although the hood is left off today.
11th	2 11th (2) (80/1 -220%) Caremuchmore	80 80/1(-220%)	(2) Caremuchmore 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Creditable third of 15 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Thurles (23.1f, soft). Off 16 months. Off for 16 months but needs to improve a little to have a chance anyway.

CAST A SPELL won a bumper at Southwell last summer for Gary Moore and appeared to show much improved form over hurdles when fourth to Birdie Or Bust in a Listed mares novice at Thurles just before Christmas. A reproduction of that latest effort would leave her hard to beat although this testing ground is a concern. Jokers 'n' Clowns won a point-to-point at Tattersalls Farm but weakened on the run-in when runner-up to Queen Nel in a Gowran maiden hurdle on very heavy ground earlier this month. Lep Around is another point-to-point winner to consider having also filled the runner-up spot both in a bumper and over hurdles, while Smiling Bess and Royal Cave are others to note.

SMILING BESS shaped well when runner-up on her recent hurdling bow at Navan and looks the way to go here with improvement very much on the cards. Cast A Spell and Jokers 'N' Clowns both have the form to have a say and can chase home Kevin Prendergast's daughter of Mount Nelson in that order.

This may got to JOKERS 'N' CLOWNS who was far more convincing at Gowran last time and looks to have more to offer

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (11/1 -10%) Summer Tide	11 11/1(-10%)	(9) Summer Tide 11/1, Fairly useful chaser. Off 7 months. Significantly down in trip. Can do better in this sphere. Not seen since a 3m handicap hurdle at the Galway festival; inadequate trip; best watched.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/11 +0%) Now Is The Hour	0.727273 8/11(+0%)	(6) Now Is The Hour 8/11, Useful hurdler/winning pointer. 12/1, career best when winning 10-runner Prestige Novices' Hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, heavy) 43 days ago by 17 lengths from Don't Rightly Know, forging clear. Exciting chasing newcomer. Big step back in trip here for his chase debut but likely to be hard to beat.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 -17%) Fortunedefortunata	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Fortunedefortunata 7/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Navan in November. 11/2, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Naas (19f, heavy) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut and likely player in this company. Anchored by the handicapper after winning at Navan in November; good time to go chasing.
4	8 4th (8) (50/1 -52%) Sea Road Fill	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Sea Road Fill 50/1, Fair hurdler. 22/1, first run since leaving E. J. O'Grady when fifth of 12 in novice chase at Thurles (20.8f, soft) on debut over fences 26 days ago. Stiff task. Respectable debut over fences in a weaker beginners chase at Thurles; more needed here.
5th	5 5th (5) (14/1 +0%) Mister Wilson	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Mister Wilson 14/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. 28/1, tenth of 13 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, soft) 176 days ago. Well beaten at Fairyhouse in October when last seen; stable has at least one better chance.
6th	2 6th (2) (100/1 -52%) Cosmic Blizzard	100 100/1(-52%)	(2) Cosmic Blizzard 100/1, Poor hurdler. 125/1, last of 6 in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 22 days ago. Unlikely to be winning this. Modest overall form; beaten a mile at Gowran on his last start; others preferred.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/2 -29%) An Epic Song	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(1) An Epic Song 9/2, Just touched off in last season's Coral Cup but made an undistinguished start over fences after 7 months off, fifth of 11 in novice chase (18/1) at Punchestown (18.9f, soft) 127 days ago. Could do better after a break. Has a clear chance here with better jumping, albeit over a trip short of his best.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (50/1 +0%) Pont Audemer	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Pont Audemer 50/1, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Eleventh of 13 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, soft, 125/1) 176 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. No show in two starts over fences to date and will fare better in handicaps; tongue-tied.

NOW IS THE HOUR fell when holding a clear lead two out in a 2m3f Limerick maiden hurdle at Christmas but has made amends winning both outings since including an impressive success in a Grade 2 novice hurdle over three miles at Haydock. This drop back in trip may not be ideal switching to fences but on the plus side he handles heavy ground really well and showed smart form in point-to-points. An Epic Song was probably the pick of these over hurdles having been just touched off by Langer Dan in the Coral Cup at the Cheltenham Festival last year but he's been lightly raced since and jumped left when well beaten on his debut over fences at Punchestown. Fortunedefortunata and point-to-point winner Extrapolation have both won three times under Rules and merit respect.

NOW IS THE HOUR is a useful hurdler who stays much further but he promises to do even better over fences and this looks a good opening. Fortunedefortunata could be the danger.

The selection is NOW IS THE HOUR, coming here as the in-form horse after his impressive win at Haydock but he is effective over shorter

1	1 1st (1) ( ) Asterion Forlonge		0 ()																															(1) Asterion Forlonge , Very smart hurdler/chaser at his best. Creditable 11¾ lengths sixth of 12 to Teahupoo in Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham Festival and found a very good opening back chasing. Solid effort in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham; should win if his jumping holds up.
2	2 2nd (2) ( ) Lucid Dreams		0 ()																															(2) Lucid Dreams , Useful chaser. Six wins from 17 runs this season but has regularly come up a little short at Graded level and Asterion Forlonge will likely have too much class for him. Should run his race again but has a bit to find against his sole rival at these weights.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

This ought to be a confidence-boosting success for ASTERION FORLONGE, who reverts to fences having finished a creditable sixth in the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham 17 days ago. He's not the most reliable at times, but the 10-year-old retains plenty of ability and, given a clean round of jumping, ought to have far too much for Lucid Dreams, who has been coming up short at this level and is rated 15lb inferior.

ASTERION FORLONGE should be able to see off sole rival Lucid Dreams and provide Willie Mullins with a third successive win in this Grade 3.

It is a while since ASTERION FORLONGE has run over fences but if his jumping holds up then he should account for Lucid Dreams.

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (16/1 -60%) Lucky Zebo	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) Lucky Zebo 16/1, 3 wins from 5 runs this season. Failed to get home when eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Leopardstown (23.4f, heavy) 94 days ago. Stable in good form. Not discounted back in trip. Not seen since running poorly at Leopardstown in December; could go well at his best.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/2 -27%) Shadow Rider	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(3) Shadow Rider 7/2, 18/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.6f, heavy) 36 days ago. Can make presence felt. Lucky to get away with just a 10lb penalty for Fairyhouse and should have a leading chance.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 -10%) Any Road	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Any Road 11/1, Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in November. 13¼ lengths last of 6 to Fun Fun Fun in Kingsfurze Novices' Hurdle (10/1) at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Back up in trip and one for the shortlist. Has found life tougher in novice than handicap company; this could be right up his street.
4	4 4th (4) (5/2 +0%) Chosen Witness	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(4) Chosen Witness 5/2, Lightly-raced 7-y-o who posted a career best when stylish winner of 16-runner novice hurdle (10/3) at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 26 days ago. Yard in good form. More to offer now handicappng. Big shout. Thurles winner; could be some mileage in his handicap mark and should not be far away here.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 -25%) Catch The Beast	20 20/1(-25%)	(8) Catch The Beast 20/1, Winner in hurdle at Punchestown in December. 12 lengths fifth of 6 to Fun Fun Fun in Kingsfurze Novices' Hurdle (125/1) at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 21 days ago. Back up in trip. Others have achieved more. Ran okay in a Naas Grade 3 two weeks ago; has to prove himself off this mark though.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/1 +0%) Ashdale Bob	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Ashdale Bob 5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable second of 6 in minor event hurdle (5/2) at Leopardstown (18.3f, soft) 28 days ago. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Down another 3lb for latest; still a dangerous opponent here with 7lb taken off his back.
7th	2 7th (2) (7/2 +13%) Da Capo Glory	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(2) Da Capo Glory 7/2, Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good seventh of 21 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, heavy, 33/1) 18 days ago. Merits serious consideration. Creditable seventh in the Coral Cup; leading contender if this doesn't come too soon.
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 -56%) Hands Of Gold	25 25/1(-56%)	(7) Hands Of Gold 25/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap chase (14/1) at Naas (20f, heavy) 35 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Tough to assess at present. Failed over fences this season and best watched on his return to flights.

Possibilities. Ran a decent race in a Listed mares handicap at Leopardstown last month; 3lb wrong.

Having finished a creditable third in the Boyne Hurdle, DA CAPO GLORY was far from disgraced in the Coral Cup next time out. The son of Fame And Glory can now take advantage of using his Irish handicap mark and, in a less-competitive heat, he could regain the winning sequence. Top-weight Ashdale Bob makes significant appeal with 7lb claimer Conor Smithies aboard, while Shadow Rider, who bolted up at Fairyhouse in February, remains in contention, despite a 10lb hike in the ratings.

CHOSEN WITNESS appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps on the back of a taking Thurles novice success so edges the vote in this competitive handicap. Coral Cup seventh Da Capo Glory brings rock solid claims and rates the chief threat to Willie Mullins' low-mileage 7-y-o, although a case can also be made for Shadow Rider, Any Road and Lucky Zebo.

The selection is SHADOW RIDER(nap), who may have got away lightly with a 10lb penalty for his Fairyhouse win. He can score again

2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 +0%) Rochestown	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Rochestown 12/1, Latest win in chase at Tramore in January. 9/2, respectable third of 12 in handicap chase at Thurles (22.1f, soft) 38 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Hurdle winner last year off 4lb lower than this mark; handles this ground but needs more.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 -25%) Lovely Reaction	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(3) Lovely Reaction 5/2, 6/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 27 days ago. Longer trip shouldn't pose a problem and she's fancied to go in again. Wide margin winner over 2m4f at Leopardstown last time; should be involved if staying.

Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Was 2nd off 102 at Fairyhouse in January; didn't jump well on chasing debut last time.
5th	1 5th (1) (2/1 +0%) Jerk	2 2/1(+0%)	(1) Jerk 2/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24f, heavy, 17/2) 27 days ago, always holding on. Progressing well recently and merits plenty of respect. Won over this trip at Leopardstown in similar conditions; up 8lb but surely more to give.
6th	8 6th (8) (7/1 -17%) Thedancingfarrier	7 7/1(-17%)	(8) Thedancingfarrier 7/1, 12/1, improved to win 14-runner handicap hurdle at this course (24.3f, heavy) 10 days ago. Booking of Shinnick a plus. Another bold show likely. Won his third race at this track last time; raised 5lb for that but has to be considered.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (22/1 -38%) Whatucallher	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Whatucallher 22/1, First run since leaving Eddie & Patrick Harty when 33/1, fell in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.7f, soft) 55 days ago. Fell four out on return from a long absence last time; enough to prove at present.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

There was a lot to like about the manner in which LOVELY REACTION asserted herself when she was asked to win the race at Leopardstown at the start of this month and a 9lb higher mark might not prevent the mare from following up here. That performance reads well in the context of the task in hand here and although Jerk and Thedancingfarrier also rate highly on the back of successful performances, neither caught the eye as much as the selection.

LOVELY REACTION was quite impressive at Leopardstown last time and the longer trip could bring more out of her, so she's to fellow last-time-out winner Jerk, who is also going the right way. Thedancingfarrier can't be ruled out.

Preference is for JERK, who relished this trip at Leopardstown last time in similar conditions and can defy an 8lb hike.

First run for yard after leaving Paul Nolan. Tongue strap on 1st time. Showed plenty of ability on his bumper debut for Paul Nolan; interesting runner.
2	4 2nd (4) (50/1 -52%) Getamotive	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Getamotive 50/1, Getaway gelding. Brother to fair hurdler Noble Talent. Dam, little impact in 2 points, half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 21f) Emerging Talent. Stoutly bred with a couple of good winners in his pedigree; best watched though.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +0%) Churchroad Prince	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Churchroad Prince 4/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Second of 10 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Punchestown (22.9f, soft) on hurdles bow 76 days ago. Solid claims back in this sphere. Excellent run at Punchestown; leading contender, especially if market moves are positive.
4	10 4th (10) (12/1 +0%) She's A Nightowl	12 12/1(+0%)	(10) She's A Nightowl 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in bumper at Leopardstown (16f, heavy, 11/1) 27 days ago. Progressive in two bumper starts at Naas and Leopardstown; further improvement likely.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/2 +0%) Donnie Devito	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(2) Donnie Devito 11/2, Twice-raced maiden. 9/1, first run since leaving Ms M. M. Gannon when third of 7 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 90 days ago. Third in a Fairyhouse bumper in January on stable debut; should go well back up in trip.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/10 -10%) Jackson Wood	1.1 11/10(-10%)	(7) Jackson Wood 11/10, €95,000 3-y-o, Al Namix gelding. Dam 21f chase winner in France. Has been found a good opportunity and expected to make a successful debut. Mullins newcomer likely to make the market but the competition is quite strong.
7th	5 7th (5) (16/1 +0%) Honky Tonk	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Honky Tonk 16/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/4, third of 6 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) on NH debut, going in snatches. Off 17 months. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Needs to prove he retains ability. Third in a decent Down Royal bumper for Willie Mullins 16 months ago; hard to assess.
8th	3 8th (3) (10/1 -25%) Famous Sonnet	10 10/1(-25%)	(3) Famous Sonnet 10/1, €31,000 3-y-o, Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/smart hurdler Blazing Khal. Half-brother to Blazing Khal on debut here and a market watch probably essential.
9th	6 9th (6) (25/1 -25%) Ikalimix	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Ikalimix 25/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 9 in bumper at Plumpton (17.8f, soft, 18/1), travelling best. Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Tom Lacey. Placed in a couple of ordinary bumpers in Britain early last year; much more needed.
10th	9 10th (9) (100/1 +0%) Justgetonwithit	100 100/1(+0%)	(9) Justgetonwithit 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 10 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good to soft). Off 13 months. Has beaten one rival in two bumper starts and makes no appeal here.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

There is a tried and trusted formula being put to the test here as Willie Mullins sends out an unraced individual who boasts a live chance of making a winning debut on paper. A 95,000 euros-purchase, JACKSON WOOD is the one to fly the flag for the Closutton powerhouse yard and the son of Al Namix is too difficult to ignore. Churchroad Prince showed promise on his hurdling debut at Punchestown in January and has to be of interest back in this sphere, while Donnie Devito is another potential improver to bear in mind.

JACKSON WOOD might not be as well bred as some of his stable's string but he should be well forward and this won't take much winning, so he gets the nod over Churchroad Prince, who ran well in a novice hurdle at Punchestown last time.

Preference is for CHURCHROAD PRINCE, possibly unlucky to be beaten in a 2m7f maiden hurdle at Punchestown in January

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.

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.
