13:48 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (12/1 -9%) Arion Soldier	12 12/1(-9%)	(2) Arion Soldier 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 18 in maiden hurdle (125/1) at Thurles (15.9f, heavy) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Beaten only 14l at Thurles over 2m; should have improved since; big step up in trip now.
2	4 2nd (4) (6/1 +70%) Driscolls Hill	6 6/1(+70%)	(4) Driscolls Hill 6/1, Point winner. 66/1, sixth of 21 in maiden hurdle at Naas (19f, heavy) on NH debut 22 days ago. Up in trip. Should improve. Not disgraced in a Navan maiden hurdle over 2m3f on rules debut; longer trip should suit.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 -260%) Lough Owel	9 9/1(-260%)	(6) Lough Owel 9/1, Cost €255,000 after striking at the third time of asking in points last April. Shaped like a stayer when placed in 2 bumpers this winter and similar story on last month's Navan hurdle debut. More to come now stepping up to 3m. Ability in bumpers and a maiden hurdle but weakened over 2m6f last time; questions.
4	8 4th (8) (2/1 +40%) Pirate Island	2 2/1(+40%)	(8) Pirate Island 2/1, Fair hurdler. 13/2, creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Some solid runs but weakened last time over 2m4f and not sure this trip is what he needs.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/4 -46%) Mickie Angel	2.75 11/4(-46%)	(7) Mickie Angel 11/4, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 14/1, second of 6 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (24f, heavy) on hurdles bow 22 days ago. Should go well. Second in a Limerick maiden hurdle over this trip; with improvement should be involved.
6th	9 6th (9) (33/1 -83%) Qatar Spirit	33 33/1(-83%)	(9) Qatar Spirit 33/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 162 days ago. Up in trip. Rated 97 after nine hurdle starts and isn't bred for a trip like this; others preferred.
7th	5 7th (5) (66/1 -100%) Fourcardrun	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Fourcardrun 66/1, €34,000 3-y-o, Telescope gelding. Dam (c89/h94), maiden hurdler/chaser (stayed 2¾m), half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Hirapour. By a promising sire and cost 34,000euros as a 3yo; one to watch for future reference.
8th	10 8th (10) (20/1 +39%) Always Groovin	20 20/1(+39%)	(10) Always Groovin 20/1, Court Cave mare. Half-sister to fair 19f hurdle winner The Lord Maid. Wears tongue strap. By a useful sire and a decent damline; tongue-tie on for debut; worth a market check.
9th	3 9th (3) (150/1 -355%) Beechfield	150 150/1(-355%)	(3) Beechfield 150/1, Point winner but pulled up in maiden hurdle (18/1) at Clonmel (16f, heavy) on NH debut 46 days ago, pulled up before last. Significantly up in trip. Point winner was unruly beforehand and ran no race in a Clonmel maiden hurdle.
10th	1 10th (1) (5/1 -11%) Annamaymurt	5 5/1(-11%)	(1) Annamaymurt 5/1, Once-raced maiden. 250/1, sixth of 25 in maiden hurdle at Naas (15.6f, heavy) on NH debut 36 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Open to progress. Beaten only 16l in a Navan maiden hurdle (2m) on recent debut; takes a big step up in trip.

PIRATE ISLAND has to prove his stamina over this distance but if doing so, the Philip Fenton-trained six-year-old holds strong claims. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding was placed in three maidens prior to gaining valuable handicap experience at Gowran Park last time. Now reverting back into maiden company, he should prove too good for these. Limerick runner-up Mickie Angel has at least proven his effectiveness over the trip, so that in itself should see Denis Hogan's gelding play a leading role. He does look vulnerable to an improver, but there doesn't appear to be much strength in depth in this race. Arion Soldier steps up a mile here, but would certainly enter calculations if he gets the distance. Twice hampered at Thurles earlier this month, the six-year-old stayed on in eyecatching fashion to finish third.

The step up to 3m promises to suit Gordon Elliott's LOUGH OWEL and he's taken to improve past Mickie Angel and Pirate Island in this opening maiden hurdle.

MICKIE ANGEL showed that he stays this trip when runner-up at Limerick last time on his hurdling debut.

13:48 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:23 Cork Handicap Hurdle 16f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (4/1 -45%) The Banger Doyle	4 4/1(-45%)	(3) The Banger Doyle 4/1, 9/4, creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.8f, heavy) 113 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Hood back on. Expected to be bang there. A decent C&D effort on heavy ground when last seen and is likely to be involved.
5	5 (5) (6/1 -140%) Ricky Bobby	6 6/1(-140%)	(5) Ricky Bobby 6/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Creditable second of 19 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 22 days ago, travelling best. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Consistent in defeat of late; creeping up the handicap too but can be closely involved.
15	15 (15) (7/1 +68%) Duffys Hodey	7 7/1(+68%)	(15) Duffys Hodey 7/1, Respectable fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16f, heavy, 10/1) 46 days ago. Others more persuasive. Soundly beaten last few times; 1lb out of the handicap.
1	1 (1) (7/1 +13%) Johngus	7 7/1(+13%)	(1) Johngus 7/1, Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in December. Creditable fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, heavy, 50/1) 11 days ago. Player. Fourth over 2m4f here 11 days ago; weakened late and the drop back to this trip will suit.
2	2 (2) (8/1 -7%) Mercury Mission	8 8/1(-7%)	(2) Mercury Mission 8/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, heavy, 6/1) 71 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Poor at Thurles last time but has a chance if bouncing back in a first-time tongue-tie.
9	9 (9) (17/2 +58%) Cosmic Rock	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(9) Cosmic Rock 17/2, Fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16.2f, heavy, 16/1) 8 days ago. Returned after two years away this season and has run well at times; needs to find more.
4	4 (4) (12/1 +40%) Penalty Try	12 12/1(+40%)	(4) Penalty Try 12/1, Promising type. Seventh of 13 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 37 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should progress. Beaten 16l at Fairyhouse last time; one to watch in the market on handicap debut.
7	7 (7) (14/1 -87%) Whateys Quest	14 14/1(-87%)	(7) Whateys Quest 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seemed amiss when pulled up in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Clonmel (18.9f, heavy) 46 days ago, tailing off. Retains some potential. Horses from this yard often bounce back from poor runs so still one to keep in mind.
10	10 (10) (14/1 -56%) Macinamillion	14 14/1(-56%)	(10) Macinamillion 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1 and hooded for 1st time, creditable fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 22 days ago. Open to improvement. Not beaten far on handicap debut at Naas last time; hood retained and looks a player.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -45%) Listenheretomejack	16 16/1(-45%)	(6) Listenheretomejack 16/1, 13/2, below form tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 67 days ago. Nowhere near his best recently and need more evidence of wellbeing.
12	12 (12) (16/1 -45%) Knockaneleigh Girl	16 16/1(-45%)	(12) Knockaneleigh Girl 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy, 8/1) 23 days ago. May yet do better. Always in rear on handicap debut at Gowran last time and huge improvement is needed.
14	14 (14) (25/1 +38%) Out Of The Park	25 25/1(+38%)	(14) Out Of The Park 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, sixteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft) 123 days ago. Poor at Thurles when last seen under rules; placed in three points since; needs more.
8	8 (8) (28/1 +15%) Contrapposto	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Contrapposto 28/1, 22/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) 137 days ago. Has been mostly well beaten recently in this sphere; others preferred.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -83%) Aboy Joey	33 33/1(-83%)	(11) Aboy Joey 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, seventeenth of 24 in novice hurdle at this course (16.8f, heavy) 113 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Is likely to be better now dropped into handicaps; worth a market check.
13	13 (13) (80/1 +0%) Inchiquin Maid	80 80/1(+0%)	(13) Inchiquin Maid 80/1, 125/1, last of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 22 days ago. Placed a few times, including in a 3m maiden hurdle here; poor lately, though.

Although yet to win over hurdles, THE BANGER DOYLE is very well handicapped relative to his chase and Flat marks. With the John Queally-trained eight-year-old having run one of his better races in this discipline when third here before Christmas, it has to be encouraging that connections return to Cork. Having shown some of his best form on testing ground, conditions look set to favour the son of Windsor Knot. Ricky Bobby finished one place ahead of The Banger Doyle in the aforementioned Cork race, but was claimer-ridden on that occasion. At the revised weights, Tim Doyle's gelding has some work to do. Mercury Mission needs to improve, but has been racing in much stronger company so could be seen in a better light now he faces an easier task.

THE BANGER DOYLE is worth persevering with over hurdles on the evidence of his last 2 efforts so gets the vote over Ricky Bobby and Johngus.

With a fine effort on handicap debut under his girth, MACINAMILLION can build upon that to get off the mark over hurdles.

14:58 Cork Handicap Chase 17f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
7	7 (7) (9/4 +36%) Sunnyvilla	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(7) Sunnyvilla 9/4, Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Gowran (16f, heavy, 17/2) 23 days ago. Not discounted. Dual chase winner has put in solid efforts the last twice and is a player dropped 2lb.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +78%) The Little Yank	3.5 7/2(+78%)	(6) The Little Yank 7/2, Twenty six runs since last win in 2022. Last of 5 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, heavy, 18/1) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive. Dropping in the weights but well beaten lately and has to stage a revival.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +22%) R'evelyn Pleasure	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(3) R'evelyn Pleasure 7/2, Course winner. Latest win in chase here in January. 6/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 22 days ago, travelling as well as any. Back down in trip. Player. Two wins earlier this season and a solid effort last time at Limerick; can be involved.
5	5 (5) (5/1 -50%) Marelly	5 5/1(-50%)	(5) Marelly 5/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Sixth of 10 in novice chase (80/1) at Leopardstown (17f, heavy) 28 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Two hurdle wins but was well beaten in novice chases last twice; fare better in this grade.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Take All	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Take All 8/1, 28/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 95 days ago. Has run well at times this season but has to bounce back from a poor effort.
2	2 (2) (9/1 -50%) Vado Forte	9 9/1(-50%)	(2) Vado Forte 9/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Listowel (17f, soft, 14/1). Off 6 months. Been dropping in the handicap for the last 18 months but for a reason; chance if on song.

Most of these have been racing over further of late, so much depends on who copes best with the drop in trip. Top-weight TAKE ALL is usually a sound jumper who tends to race up with the pace or make the running. With Shane Fenelon taking 7lb off his back, the Shark Hanlon-trained nine-year-old can race off a mark 6lb below the one he won off at Wexford last July. Donacheady Gale has to be of interest on just his third run back after a long absence. The John Ryan-trained gelding is very lightly raced so remains open to further improvement over fences. Dual hurdles winner Marelly has yet to shine since switching trainers and being sent chasing. However, he is undoubtedly well handicapped if retaining ability.

Low mileage 10-y-o DONACHEADY GALE makes his handicap debut from a potentially lenient mark so gets the vote over fellow veteran R'Evelyn Pleasure.

Having returned from a huge absence with two fine efforts in novice company lately, DONACHEADY GALE could make up for lost time.

15:33 Cork Conditions Chase 24f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (5/2 +67%) Aleish Lass	2.5 5/2(+67%)	(9) Aleish Lass 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, below form thirteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy) 142 days ago. Makes chase debut (won on point debut). Wide margin point winner and 3rd in a winners' race since; should be involved.
7	7 (7) (4/1 +47%) Shiroccosmagicgem	4 4/1(+47%)	(7) Shiroccosmagicgem 4/1, 40/1, ninth of 13 in bumper at Limerick (19f, heavy). Off 12 months. Makes chase debut. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Thomas Gallagher. Multiple point winner but failed to complete last 2 starts. Triple point winner was running well in an open race last time when unseating 3 out.
1	1 (1) (5/1 -100%) Carrig Wells	5 5/1(-100%)	(1) Carrig Wells 5/1, Modest chaser. 14/1, fit from points when respectable fourth of 10 in hunter chase at Thurles (24.8f, soft) 27 days ago. Record of 2-16 in points; has run well in defeat in hunter chases at times; needs her best.
5	5 (5) (5/1 -100%) Native Song	5 5/1(-100%)	(5) Native Song 5/1, 28/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good). Won both completed starts in points, including last month. Won a maiden and a winners' point lately with a poor run in between; chance if at best.
3	3 (3) (5/1 +38%) Dul Ar Aghaidh	5 5/1(+38%)	(3) Dul Ar Aghaidh 5/1, Winning pointer. 10/1 and tongue strap on, pulled up in hunter chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) on NH debut 96 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Dual point winner but has been poor on two of her last three starts and questions now.
8	8 (8) (14/1 -17%) Some Joy	14 14/1(-17%)	(8) Some Joy 14/1, Walk In The Park mare. Half-sister to useful hurdle winner/very smart chaser Ballycasey, stayed 3¾m, and fairly useful chaser Not Sure, stays 29f. Placed on 4 of 6 starts in points. Placed several times in mares' maiden points and will have to find more today.
10	10 (10) (16/1 -113%) Its Lady Kingston	16 16/1(-113%)	(10) Its Lady Kingston 16/1, Kingston Hill mare. Dam unraced. Placed all 3 starts in points and starts out at a very realistic level. Placed in maiden points on all three starts; should run well but probably has to improve.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -106%) Taketwotoone	33 33/1(-106%)	(11) Taketwotoone 33/1, Well Chosen mare. Half-sister to fair chaser Rocco Storm. Dam, lightly raced on Flat, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (17f-19f winner) Granit Jack. Placed once from 5 starts in points. Runner-up in a point but pulled-up since and questions in this company.

Point winner, pulled up last time (Mar 27). Winner of 1-14 starts in points and will have to find improvement against these.

Recent Borris House winner NATIVE SONG can gain a first success under Rules. Winner of two of her three runs in point-to-points, the daughter of Fame And Glory has yet to reach the frame on the track but has time on her side. Trainer Paul Kiely has been amongst the winners of late. Aleish Lass was an easy winner of her maiden point at Aghabullogue in January before finishing third in her winner-of-one next time. Mick Winters has been sending out a few winners again in recent months, so the lightly-raced five-year-old has her chance. Dul Ar Aghaidh hasn't been in the best of form on her most recent starts, but the Liam Burke-trained mare could improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces here.

Unlikely to prove strong hunter chase form with NATIVE SONG taken to make a winning chase debut having landed both completed starts in points. Its Lady Kingston is another to consider, while Carrig Wells will attempt to put her experience in this sphere to good use.

This looks tricky but ALEISH LASS is a young, improving mare from a respected yard and could be the answer.

16:08 Cork Conditions Chase 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
8	8 (8) (Evens -150%) Ryehill	0 Evens(-150%)	(8) Ryehill Evens, Winning pointer, including by wide margin in February. Shaped well when second of 10 in hunter chase at Thurles (24.8f, soft) on NH debut 27 days ago, clear of rest. Hard to beat. Won a point by clear daylight before nearly following up in a maiden hunter chase.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +0%) Glady Max	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(5) Glady Max 7/2, No impact in 3 maidens hurdles but has won last 2 completed starts in point since. Interesting contender on Rules debut. Has won two of last 3 points and would probably have been placed when he fell in between.
1	1 (1) (4/1 +67%) Ballinrea	4 4/1(+67%)	(1) Ballinrea 4/1, Winning pointer, third last time (Dec 2023). Betting should guide on Rules debut. Form figures of 133 in points, posting a best RPR of 90; could do well in hunter chases.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +0%) Bigbraveboy	7 7/1(+0%)	(2) Bigbraveboy 7/1, Successful on last of 5 starts in points (Mar 17). Would enter the reckoning if the market vibes are strong now switching to a hunter. Made pretty much all to win a 3m heavy-ground point at Knockanohill two weeks ago.
3	3 (3) (20/1 -82%) Delta Melody	20 20/1(-82%)	(3) Delta Melody 20/1, Modest form over hurdles. Second in a point on latest start in February. Hunter debut. Limited hurdler and he's 0-6 in points, though has finished runner-up in three of them.
4	4 (4) (20/1 +0%) Farmers Future	20 20/1(+0%)	(4) Farmers Future 20/1, Won a point in January. Well-held third both starts since. Hunter debut. Others preferred. Successful pointing RPR of 80 is inferior to what some of today's rivals have achieved.
10	10 (10) (50/1 +50%) Ta Se Rua	50 50/1(+50%)	(10) Ta Se Rua 50/1, Modest chaser. 100/1, creditable fifth of 10 in hunter chase at Thurles (24.8f, soft) 27 days ago but the reopposing Ryehill was a long way ahead of him. Just one win from 15 points and he was 100-1 when well behind Ryehill at Thurles.
7	7 (7) (66/1 +0%) Misty Fandango	66 66/1(+0%)	(7) Misty Fandango 66/1, Maiden pointer, last of 4 finishers last time (Mar 3). Probably best to look elsewhere. No closer than 15l in his four points and has to step up; tries a tongue-tie.
6	6 (6) (80/1 -60%) Hardy Buck	80 80/1(-60%)	(6) Hardy Buck 80/1, Unplaced in 4 points and down the field in 4 hurdles in the first half of this season. Likely outsider. Pointing exploits nothing to shout about and same can be said about his runs over hurdles.

Runner-up in a similar race at Thurles last month, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained RYEHILL can go one better here. An impressive winner of his winner-of-one at Belharbour on his previous start, the Mahler gelding has more potential than most of these rivals. Bigbraveboy has failed to complete in three of his five point-to-point starts, but has won and finished runner-up in the other two. Granted a clear round, the Daniel Murphy-trained gelding has to have a strong place claim at the very least. Glady Max, winner of two of his last three starts, is another who will need to do things right, but he has to be a contender on his point-to-point form.

RYEHILL made an encouraging start to his hunter career when second at Thurles 4 weeks ago and this looks a good chance for him to go one better. Glady Max has won twice in the pointing field this year and is second choice ahead of Bigbraveboy, another with a recent point to his name.

This is a gilt-edged opportunity for RYEHILL, who posted a standout RPR when giving a good horse something to think about at Thurles.

16:43 Cork Conditions Chase 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (8/15 +52%) Lifetime Ambition	0.533333 8/15(+52%)	(9) Lifetime Ambition 8/15, Useful hurdler. 13/2, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft). Unseated rider in a point last time but he's the class act here. Classy chaser under rules and has been paying his way in points; the one to beat.
5	5 (5) (7/2 -40%) Early Doors	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(5) Early Doors 7/2, Fairly useful chaser. 5/2, first run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when respectable second of 6 in hunter chase at Gowran (25f, heavy) 23 days ago. One to take seriously. Not as good as he was but still capable in points and second in latest hunter chase.
10	10 (10) (11/1 +0%) Nice To Meet	11 11/1(+0%)	(10) Nice To Meet 11/1, Fairly useful chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Pulled up in hunter chase (25/1) at Thurles (24.6f, heavy) 71 days ago, pulled up. It was always going to be tough against Ferns Lock in his comeback race.
11	11 (11) (14/1 -87%) The West's Awake	14 14/1(-87%)	(11) The West's Awake 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Third of 6 in hunter chase (25/1) at Gowran (25f, heavy) 23 days ago. Comes here in good form but relying on some of these being off their game.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +52%) Earths Furies	16 16/1(+52%)	(6) Earths Furies 16/1, Fair hurdler. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 5/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Limerick (25.5f, good to soft). Maiden pointer, third last time. On a losing run of 17 (points/rules); balance of his form leaves him with plenty to find.

8	8 (8) (25/1 +62%) Francois	25 25/1(+62%)	(8) Francois 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft, 7/1). Pulled up last 2 starts in points. Hasn't kicked on since finishing fourth to Its On The Line in November.
4	4 (4) (66/1 +34%) Dr Robin	66 66/1(+34%)	(4) Dr Robin 66/1, Moody sort. Fifth of 6 in handicap chase (15/2) at Cartmel (25.5f, good). Maiden pointer, last of 3 finishers in February. 14yo who was behind The West's Awake in latest point; has him and others to worry about.
1	1 (1) (100/1 +50%) Amenon	100 100/1(+50%)	(1) Amenon 100/1, Fair hurdler. 33/1, first run since leaving Paul Nicholls when below form seventh of 16 in hunter chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 96 days ago. Winning pointer, last of 4 finishers in March. Has won a point but remote finishes in his recent ones and doesn't look good enough here.

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

LIFETIME AMBITION was a smart performer, including at Grade 1 level, for Jessica Harrington and was running off marks in the 150s as recently as last summer. He has been in good form over the winter with three wins in point-to-points and can prove too good for these rivals. Early Doors was also a very useful rules performer in his heyday and landed the Galway Plate in 2020. He's operating at a lower level nowadays but won a point-to-point in January and was second in a hunter chase over 3m1f at Gowran last time. This shorter trip should be more suitable. The West's Awake, a five-time winner over fences, is into the veteran stage but was only just behind Early Doors at Gowran having previously won a point-to-point at Lisronagh in which the selection unseated rider.

LIFETIME AMBITION is a really classy recruit to this sphere and this looks a good chance for him to make a winning start under Rules for his new stable. Early Doors is offered for forecast purposes.

This will probably concern LIFETIME AMBITION (nap) and Early Doors, who were big names earlier in their careers.

Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (2m-2½m winner) Bohemian Lass. Third sole start in points (Nov 2023). Grabbed third late on at Lisronagh (soft) and 2m3f in a bumper could be unsufficient.

Dam (h114), 19f hurdle winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stays 23f) Lord Schnitzel and fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stays 2¾m) The Dubai Way. Fourth sole outing in points (Feb 4).

Brother to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Jet Legs, and half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Shantou Magic. Runner-up both starts in points (latest Mar 17). Runner-up in both points, beaten by Backmersackme on his debut.
6	6 (6) (20/1 -67%) Dancingondaceiling	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Dancingondaceiling 20/1, Workforce gelding. Dam failed to complete in points. Successful on second of 2 starts in points (Feb 18). It was never in doubt when making all on heavy ground at Knockanard (heavy).
11	11 (11) (20/1 +50%) Shadow Chaser	20 20/1(+50%)	(11) Shadow Chaser 20/1, Mahler gelding. Successful on last of 6 starts in points (Feb 25). Not dismissed. It was his first time on testing ground when running out a 9l winner at Kildorrery (RPR 89.

Successful on second of 2 starts in points (Mar 3). Respected. Won at Borris House a month ago but the time was nothing to shout about.
8	8 (8) (50/1 -127%) Mickthesoldier	50 50/1(-127%)	(8) Mickthesoldier 50/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 21f hurdle winner Hel Tara out of fair hurdler/useful staying chaser Heltornic. Runner-up on last (only completed start) of 3 starts in points (Dec 2023). No match for the winner when he did complete at Dromahane three months ago.
2	2 (2) (50/1 +0%) Can Daddy Dance	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) Can Daddy Dance 50/1, €32,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including fairly useful French hurdler Hahnville and 17f French hurdle winner Rosaville. Successful on last of 6 starts in points (Mar 3). Took six goes to win a point and the form of that Borris House success doesn't look strong.
9	9 (9) (100/1 +0%) Nothingtodowithyou	100 100/1(+0%)	(9) Nothingtodowithyou 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, fourteenth of 15 in bumper at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on NH debut. Off 9 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Standout effort in five points was his win at Ballyvodock but the RPR was only in the 70s.
13	13 (13) (200/1 +0%) Trooper Carton	200 200/1(+0%)	(13) Trooper Carton 200/1, Hillstar gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hunter chaser Billaway and fair chaser Tiny Dancer, stayed 25f. Last of 4 finishers completed start in points (Mar 17). Beaten 22l in his only completion to date in points and probably up against it.

LTO Selection:

Any horse acquired by the ultra-shrewd Paul Byrne is of automatic interest and BACKMERSACKME is taken to make a winning start for his new connections. The son of Getaway was snapped up for 70,000 pounds at Cheltenham in December after winning his second start in point-to-points at Moig South the previous month. Colonel Nelson is a half-brother to a couple of jumps winners and made a promising start to his career when runner-up in a point-to-point at Ballycrystal in January. His trainer has handled plenty of good bumper horses over the years. Rock On Jet, related to plenty of winners, chased home the selection at Moig South and was again runner-up more recently at Ballyragget. He's another that has to come into calculations.

BACKMERSACKME won a point and is bred to go well in this sphere, so he's an obvious choice having joined shrewd connections. Colonel Nelson looks the main threat and Getaway King will warrant respect if the market speaks in his favour.

The 5yo BACKMERSACKME has joined a notable team for £70,000 since winning his point in November.

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (Evens +20%) Air Of Entitlement	0 Evens(+20%)	(1) Air Of Entitlement Evens, €90,000 3-y-o, Westerner mare. Dam, little show in bumpers, half-sister to winning hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 4m) Rogue Angel. Successful on second of 2 starts in points (Dec 2023). Likely type. With Colin Bowe but in these colours when justifying favouritism with ease at Lingstown.
6	6 (6) (9/4 +32%) Ma Bess	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(6) Ma Bess 9/4, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, 11¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Aurora Vega in listed bumper at Gowran (16f, heavy) 6 months ago. Winning pointer since, third last time. Hooded. Only third in her latest point but her bumper runs before that were quite notable.
7	7 (7) (7/1 -211%) Ocean Brew	7 7/1(-211%)	(7) Ocean Brew 7/1, €46,000 3-y-o, Westerner mare. Half-sister to dual bumper winner/useful hurdler Eric Bloodaxe. Successful on second of 2 starts in points (Mar 2). Obvious player on Rules debut. Not strong form in winning at Tyrella but in the right hands to keep progressing.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +18%) Grainne A Chroi	9 9/1(+18%)	(5) Grainne A Chroi 9/1, Mount Nelson mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Gaillimh A Stor, stays 3m, and fair hurdler Mag Dillane. Dam dual bumper winner. Successful on last of 3 starts in points (Feb 25). Wears hood. Modest RPR of 73 when winning at Kildorrery but she's heading in the right direction.
9	9 (9) (10/1 -82%) Shantou Princess	10 10/1(-82%)	(9) Shantou Princess 10/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Shantou mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chase winner. Successful on last of 3 starts in points (Mar 17), so worthy of plenty of respect on Rules bow. Beat five rivals with some comfort at Knockanohill but can pick holes in that form.
4	4 (4) (25/1 +24%) Deravarra Rose	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Deravarra Rose 25/1, Soldier of Fortune mare. Half-sister to fair 3m hurdle winner Kaletto. Wears tongue strap. Placed both completed starts in points, runner-up last time (Mar 10). Every chance when falling two runs back and then ran a solid race to be second at Belclare.
3	3 (3) (66/1 +34%) Born Bright	66 66/1(+34%)	(3) Born Bright 66/1, Kalanisi mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Born Famous. Dam (h88), point winner, made frame once over hurdles. Placed on second of 2 starts in points (Feb 17). Made the frame in second point but she's unlikely to provide the answer to this.
2	2 (2) (100/1 +0%) Beacon Storm	100 100/1(+0%)	(2) Beacon Storm 100/1, €1,200 3-y-o, September Storm mare. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Jessies Dream and useful bumper winner Very Much So. Maiden pointer, pulled up last time (Jan 7). Ten-race maiden in points and looks very vulnerable in a race of this nature.
8	8 (8) (100/1 +0%) Red Night Sky	100 100/1(+0%)	(8) Red Night Sky 100/1, Zambezi Sun mare. Dam maiden pointer. Maiden pointer, last of 3 finishers last time (Feb 11). Others more persuasive. Finished a long way behind Ma Bess when they met at Dromahane a year ago.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

Henry de Bromhead landed this bumper with a useful type two years ago and AIR OF ENTITLEMENT looks a leading contender. The daughter of Westerner is from the family of Irish Grand National winner Rogue Angel and impressed when a wide margin winner of a Lingstown point-to-point for Colin Bowe four months ago. Gordon Elliott is another trainer who has won this race before and is represented by Ocean Brew. Also by Westerner and a half-sister to the smart Eric Bloodaxe, she had to work hard to land a point-to-point at Tyrella in early March but is open to improvement. Ma Bess, fitted with a hood for the first time, has the advantage of plenty of bumper experience. Runner-up twice and fourth in a Listed contest at Gowran in the autumn, she'll be fitter for a recent comeback outing in a point-to-point.

AIR OF ENTITLEMENT has already won a point and has since been picked up by top connections, so she's preferred to Ocean Brew, who arrives with a similar profile. Shantou Princess is also considered.

Henry De Bromhead won this race two years ago and his AIR OF ENTITLEMENT is probably a good horse in the making.

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.
