Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (8/13 +50%) Dee Capo	0.615385 8/13(+50%)	(3) Dee Capo 8/13, Maxios gelding who got back on the up to make third start in bumpers a winning one at Galway (17f) last month. Probably the one to beat now switching his attentions to timber. Won a Galway bumper last time; looks a leading contender for top yard on hurdling debut.
2	9 2nd (9) (8/1 +20%) Maxi Mac Gold	8 8/1(+20%)	(9) Maxi Mac Gold 8/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in bumper at Thurles (16f, soft, 10/3) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. Was 4th on debut in a Thurles bumper; will likely improve from this hurdling debut.
3	18 3rd (18) (20/1 +39%) Picture Of You	20 20/1(+39%)	(18) Picture Of You 20/1, Making GB/IRE jumps debut. 100/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Killarney (11.2f, soft). Off 13 months. Stable having good spell. Hood on for 1st time in this code. Soundly beaten in two Flat maidens last year; could well improve for tackling hurdles.
4	12 4th (12) (11/2 -22%) The Passing Wife	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(12) The Passing Wife 11/2, £48,000 buy after winning sole start in points (Mar 26). Needs a betting check on hurdle debut. Every chance when left in the lead in a Ballynoe point' back in March; respected.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 -43%) Intent Approach	5 5/1(-43%)	(5) Intent Approach 5/1, Second of 16 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good to soft, 18/1) on NH debut 175 days ago, finishing well. Makes hurdles debut. Interesting runner. Was 2nd on debut in a Punchestown bumper in April; this ground is much softer but chance.
6th	11 6th (11) (150/1 +25%) Pride Of Place	150 150/1(+25%)	(11) Pride Of Place 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 100/1) 37 days ago. Well beaten in two maiden hurdles and looks best watched until tackling handicaps.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 +0%) One Big Boum	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) One Big Boum 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, twelfth of 22 in bumper at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut, unable to sustain effort. Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut. Promise in his Punchestown bumper debut back in April but will probably improve from this.
8th	13 8th (13) (10/1 -122%) Wandering Rocks	10 10/1(-122%)	(13) Wandering Rocks 10/1, Promising sort. Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, third of 16 in maiden at Listowel (16f, soft) on hurdle debut 43 days ago. Open to improvement. Solid hurdling debut at Listowel and should have improved nicely from that; big player.
9th	17 9th (17) (300/1 -20%) Phoebe's Charm	300 300/1(-20%)	(17) Phoebe's Charm 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. Soundly beaten in two maiden hurdles and will be of more interest in handicaps.
10th	1 10th (1) (50/1 -52%) Balally Park	50 50/1(-52%)	(1) Balally Park 50/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Unseated rider in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 40/1) on hurdles bow 43 days ago. Some promise in a Listowel maiden hurdle after a break, weakening when falling at the last.
11th	8 11th (8) (20/1 +29%) Liberated Light	20 20/1(+29%)	(8) Liberated Light 20/1, Fair Flat winner. Promising sort. Ninth of 18 in novice hurdle (17/2) at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 15 days ago. Likely to improve. Didn't jump well on recent hurdling debut at Limerick and has a lot of improvement to find.
12th	21 12th (21) (100/1 -150%) Flicker Of Hope	100 100/1(-150%)	(21) Flicker Of Hope 100/1, Buck's Boum gelding. Dam 12.5f winner on Flat in France. RESERVE. By a quality French sire and considered if getting a run; reserve.
13th	14 13th (14) (200/1 +0%) Fire Coral	200 200/1(+0%)	(14) Fire Coral 200/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Seventeenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (14f, heavy, 22/1) 18 days ago. Maiden is rated 52 on the Flat after 9 starts and others appeal more..
14th	15 14th (15) (200/1 -33%) Lisamaria	200 200/1(-33%)	(15) Lisamaria 200/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 5/1, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy) 6 days ago. Maiden is rated 51 on the Flat after 15 starts and others appeal more..

Dam (c134/h137), 2¼m-2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to high-class hurdler (stayed 21f) Get Me Out of Here. A 25,000Euros vendor buyback as a foal; by a leading sire but looks yard's second-string.
16th	2 16th (2) (150/1 +25%) Container Madness	150 150/1(+25%)	(2) Container Madness 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) 101 days ago. Poor on C&D debut but a better effort at Limerick next time; of more interest in handicaps.
17th	6 17th (6) (300/1 -20%) Johnny Cakes	300 300/1(-20%)	(6) Johnny Cakes 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 250/1) 15 days ago. Well beaten in two maiden hurdles and best wait for handicaps.
18th	16 18th (16) (125/1 +17%) Menrva	125 125/1(+17%)	(16) Menrva 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, tenth of 13 in novice hurdle at Sligo (20f, soft) 9 days ago. Well beaten in two maiden hurdles and loads of improvement needed.

LTO Selection:

DEE CAPO has recent winning form. He ran well on debut and while he disappointed on September reappearance, won well in an ordinary bumper at Galway and has the size to excel over jumps. The Passing Wife was bought for 48,000 pounds following his slightly fortunate point-to-point win last March. He bypasses a bumper but it is very notable his trainer won last year's renewal of this race. Intent Approach was the first beaten horse in the final race of last season, at the Punchestown festival, and has been bought by JP McManus. There is nothing exciting about that form and while he debuts over hurdles on reappearance, nonetheless looks capable. Maxi Mac Gold showed ability on bumper debut while Wandering Rocks, once rated 90 on the flat, has place claims on Listowel form. Liberated Light was well held on recent jumps debut.

The way DEE CAPO came clear in a Galway bumper last month suggests he has the makings of a useful hurdler and he can make a winning start under Jack Kennedy. Wandering Rocks was a promising third on his hurdle debut at Listowel in September and is second choice ahead of Intent Approach, who has been purchased by J P McManus since finishing second in a Punchestown bumper in the spring.

Likely to improve significantly from his Listowel hurdling debut 3rd, WANDERING ROCKS could go two better today.

LTO Selection:

JASMIN DE COTTE ran well on March point-to-point debut, after which he was sold for 160,000 pounds, and is well bred. That form is difficult to assess but the well-beaten third was subsequently bumper-placed while the fourth won next time and was sold for 100,000 pounds. The selection is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Camelia De Cotte. Flamborough is race-fit, in-form and suited by testing ground. He beat Winning Smut by 9.5 lengths at Listowel and while 3lb worse off, might hold form, despite Winning Smut finishing second subsequently. Jigoro finished second at French provincial course Ligniers in a Flat race last March and has joined leading connections, while Fenway Park represents last year's winning trainer and is surely capable of far better than he showed at Ballinrobe in April, when well supported.

The betting should reveal plenty but FLAMBOROUGH rates the pick on form and can get his head in front for the first time at the chief expense of Killarney-second Winning Smut who also has the form to play a major part. Rosalys has the potential for progress and also needs considering, while newcomers Jigoro, Jasmin de Cotte and Fenway Park are in good hands and need factoring in too, especially if the market vibes are positive.

With several solid hurdle runs under his girth plus a fine effort in a Flat Premier Handicap last time, FLAMBOROUGH(nap) can score.

6th	4 6th (4) (9/2 -13%) Skradin	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(4) Skradin 9/2, 3/1, career best when winning 9-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft) 34 days ago, easily. Back down in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Player. Won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last time over 2m4f; races keenly so drop in trip is fine.
7th	12 7th (12) (33/1 -200%) Young Lucy	33 33/1(-200%)	(12) Young Lucy 33/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Ninth of 12 in maiden (50/1) at Gowran (9.4f, heavy) 19 days ago.

Bumper and hurdle winner at Clonmel; well beaten on chase debut when last seen.

LTO Selection:

SHOWMAN beat a subsequent winner to score in September and might beat experienced rivals. His flat form is ordinary but likes soft ground, caught the eye two days prior to winning at Roscommon and might better his 107 rating, under his same 7lb claimer. Grange Walk has failed to capitalize on a lower hurdle rating on his last four attempts. He is 3lb higher than when finishing second at Listowel in June although today's rider claims 5lb. Progressive Skradin received weight when beating a useful (subsequently-placed) type at Fairyhouse but drops in distance. He is closely matched with September winner Conyers Hill on Clonmel form last March. Time To Rocco reverts to hurdles rating 15lb lower in this sphere but might prefer further. Quirt Evans would prefer good ground while course bumper winner Young Lucy looks well handicapped but debuts in handicaps in a hot race.

SHOWMAN pulled clear with a subsequent winner when scoring a shade cosily under this rider at Roscommon 6 weeks ago and is potentially on a good mark on handicap debut in this sphere. Grange Walk, Conyers Hill and Skradin are others to consider.

SKRADIN won well in a Fairyhouse maiden last time over 2m4f but this front-runner has the pace to drop in trip, so is selected.

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (Evens -10%) Abi's Champ	0 Evens(-10%)	(1) Abi's Champ Evens, Dual bumper winner. 5/2, creditable 6½ lengths third of 9 to Aurora Vega in listed bumper at Gowran (16f, heavy) 37 days ago.

2	2 2nd (2) (Evens +56%) Banprionsa	0 Evens(+56%)	(2) Banprionsa Evens, Bred to be smart and easily won her sole point in March. Very interesting contender on hurdle debut. Well-related mare, beat Jetaway To Getaway by 22l in a Lingstown maiden, interesting.

First run since leaving Adrian Brendan Joyce when respectable eighth of 17 in bumper (9/1) at Punchestown (16.6f, good) 26 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip.

13th	3 13th (3) (200/1 +0%) Boblere	200 200/1(+0%)	(3) Boblere 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good) on hurdles bow 147 days ago. Pulled up in a point; tailed off in a Wexford bumper and in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown.

17th	14 17th (14) (100/1 -100%) Fourleaf Shamrock	100 100/1(-100%)	(14) Fourleaf Shamrock 100/1, Arctic Cosmos filly. Dam poor maiden hurdler. Wears visor. Dam had poor form but is a half-sister to bumper/hurdles winner Mysloegin, visored.

LTO Selection:

Race-fit ABI'S CHAMP was smart in bumpers and beat a dual winner very easily at Killarney in July. She gained a blacktype placing in September, will be well schooled for jumps debut and has form on testing ground. Banprionsa was a notable point-to-point winner for Richard Black last March when beating ordinary rivals out of sight at Lingstown. She won eased down by 22 lengths and while she could be good, faces a race-fit selection. Queens Vic was a 175,000 pounds purchase in January 2022, having won her point-to-point impressively for Aidan Fitzgerald the previous November. She could also be smart but returns from a long layoff and should improve from this. Mag Dillane has minor place claims while Kilbarrry Saint ran well on point-to-point debut but isn't straightforward and runs in a tongue-tie.

It's likely this will be dominated by hurdle newcomers from top yards, with useful bumper winner ABI'S CHAMP preferred to point scorers Banprionsa and Queens Vic but the betting will help to separate them.

Dual bumper winner and Gowran Listed third ABI'S CHAMP can prove too good for point winners Banprionsa and Queens Vic

1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +0%) Solitary Man	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(2) Solitary Man 5/2, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Good neck second of 7 to reopposing Desert Heather in novice hurdle at this course (24.2f, good to soft, 5/2) 21 days ago. Should go well again. Improved up in trip lately; just denied over C&D by Desert Heather last time; can go close.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 +0%) What Path	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(1) What Path 5/2, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Kilbeggan in June. Last of 6 in minor event hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 4/1) 43 days ago. Capable of bouncing back. Ran a cracker when 2nd in Galway novice but below form at Listowel; chance if rebounding.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/2 +15%) Pinyon Jay	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(5) Pinyon Jay 11/2, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Excellent 4½ lengths third of 7 to reopposing Desert Heather in novice hurdle (8/1) at this course (24.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Maiden winner was 4.5l behind Desert Heather over C&D last time; cheekpieces tried now.
4	7 4th (7) (9/4 +25%) Desert Heather	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(7) Desert Heather 9/4, Useful hurdler. Didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner novice hurdle (15/8) at this course (24.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago by neck from Solitary Man. Expected to be bang there. Did well to beat some of these over C&D last time on return; big chance with improvement.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 -29%) Brave Fortune	11 11/1(-29%)	(4) Brave Fortune 11/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 16 in bumper at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft, 11/1) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Starts out over hurdles in a good race. Promising bumper run in spring and won a point' last month; this looks ambitious.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -65%) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit	66 66/1(-65%)	(6) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit 66/1, Modest hurdler. 20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 28½ lengths sixth of 7 to Cool Survivor in listed hurdle at this C&D (heavy). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Some decent runs for former yard but was well beaten in this race when last seen.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (50/1 -150%) The Shantou King	50 50/1(-150%)	(3) The Shantou King 50/1, Fair hurdler. 11/1, career best when winning 17-runner novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 46 days ago, pushed out. Significantly up in trip. Should improve. Improved form to win a Listowel maiden last time but needs plenty more now.

LTO Selection:

SOLITARY MAN might turn recent course-and-distance placings with Desert Heather and win. Unproven on heavy ground he is nonetheless progressive, jumps and stays well, and is 11lb better off with Desert Heather for that recent neck defeat. Connections of Desert Heather expected her to improve fitness-wise for that success but she is also 9lb worse-off with third-placed Pinyon Jay, which today is tried in first-time cheekpieces. Top weight What Path might prefer good ground, was reported to be clinically abnormal at Listowel in September 2022 and disappointed again at that venue on his latest run, this September. The Shantou King and point-to-point winner Brave Fortun both step up in grade.

DESERT HEATHER was confidently ridden to edge ahead of Solitary Man late on here last month and can confirm her superiority over Enda Bolger's charge and extend her winning run to 4. What A Path should also have a big say if anywhere near his best form.

DESERT HEATHER is worse off today with Solitary Man and \bPinyon Jay\from her C&D win last time but can confirm the form.

1	2 1st (2) (5/4 +50%) Letsbeclearaboutit	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(2) Letsbeclearaboutit 5/4, Promising type. 1 win from 1 run this season. 4/6, career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) on debut over fences 36 days ago, easily. Should have more to offer. Player. Form of debut chase win was boosted by the second when runner-up in the Munster National.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 -33%) Mighty Tom	10 10/1(-33%)	(4) Mighty Tom 10/1, Smart hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Killarney in May. Good second of 10 in handicap hurdle (5/2) at Killarney (17f, soft) 72 days ago. Makes chase debut and much respected. Progressive hurdler this year after joining this yard, lacks chasing experience.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +0%) Senecia	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Senecia 5/1, Useful chaser. Good neck second of 6 to Hercule Du Seuil in Buck House Novices' Chase (12/1) at Punchestown (18.2f, good to soft) 25 days ago, finishing strongly. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can go well again.

5th	1 5th (1) (15/2 +38%) Solness	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(1) Solness 15/2, Useful chaser. 33/1, good second of 8 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, good to soft) 94 days ago. Can give another good account. Two odds-on wins in the spring, twice second to excellent yardstick Hercule Du Seuil.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 -33%) Power Of Pause	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Power Of Pause 8/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 3/1, career best when winning 9-runner novice chase at Listowel (22f, soft) on debut over fences 46 days ago, driven out. Firmly in the picture. Much more on his plate now than when beating an error-prone favourite at Listowel.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (5/1 -50%) Perceval Legallois	5 5/1(-50%)	(5) Perceval Legallois 5/1, Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 10/3, career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Galway (18.5f, heavy) on debut over fences 33 days ago, impressively. Should progress. Jumped well and won easily on chasing debut at Galway, helps to give trainer a strong hand.

LTO Selection:

LETSBECLEARABOUTIT finished fourth in Cheltenham's Albert Bartlett Hurdle and won impressively on recent chase debut. A stayer who revels in testing conditions, he effortlessly defeated the subsequent Munster National-runner-up at Gowran. Senecia beat Lucid Dreams by 12 lengths in a fast-run race last month but that form might be turned around. Lucid Dreams set a fierce pace then and, if more measured, could benefit from this distance. Senecia in contrast arrived from off the pace at Punchestown but is unproven on heavy and, worryingly, runs in a first-time tongue-tie. Power Of Pause is in-and-out and faces a tougher task than when winning at Listowel while Perceval Legallois won a lesser chase over 2m2f at Galway but his best form is at three miles. Ex-French Solness's Irish form is on a sound surface while Mighty Tom debuts in a tough chase and prefers easier ground.

LETSBECLEARBOUTIT made the perfect start over fences when easilly going in at Gowran and can take this step up in class in his stride at the chief expense of Listowel-winner Power of Pause, who also has more to offer. Perceval Legallois and Lucid Dreams need considering too in an intriguing contest.

Gavin Cromwell is influential here. LETSBECLEARABOUTIT beat a useful type at Gowran, and may take the measure of Perceval Legallois

Switches from hurdles to chase. Needs a couple of these to falter. Unsuccessful in ten attempts beyond 2m6f, soft ground a concern, too many negatives.

Good novice in 2021, tailed off in last month's Munster National on stable debut.
5	5 \|U\| (5) (10/1 -25%) Flash De Touzaine	10 10/1(-25%)	(5) Flash De Touzaine 10/1, Latest win in chase at Galway in October 2022. Good third of 18 in handicap chase (40/1) at Ayr (31.8f, good), suited by increase in trip. Off 6 months. Stable in good form so considered.

Significantly back up in trip. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third over 3m7f at Punchestown festival so the trip is well within his range.

LTO Selection:

HISTORY OF FASHION has won just once from 24 starts but is a dour stayer who has form in similar races. Runner-up in the Leinster National before filling third at April's Punchestown festival, he goes on testing ground and a recent reappearance over a mile shorter distance might help. Sir Bob finished second in that Punchestown race and while he likes heavy and is race-fit, is rising 12. Walk Away has raced against Minella Indo, Champ, Faugheen and Allaho in his time and while he hinted at having his old ability in May, might not be suited by heavy ground on reappearance. Royal Thief debuts for Gordon Elliott, stays well and likes testing conditions but lacks an outing while Flash De Touzaine finished fourth in the Scottish National in April and also reappears. Call The Tune is race-fit but was soundly beaten on his last two handicap chases and is 3lb 'wrong'. Glenquin Castle competes from a career high rating while heavy ground might not help Fairyhill Run.

A few with chances but CALL THE TUNE is knocking on the door and taken to gain a deserved success and edge out Fairyhill Run who also arrives at the top of her game and rates a major threat. Glenquin Castle is another who needs considering back in this sphere along with Royal Thief and Diol Ker who both make their debut for Gordon Elliott.

Last season's Scottish National third FLASH DE TOUZAINE won first time out last season and may repeat that feat.

LTO Selection:

COMO PARK has recent form and is suited by conditions. Rated 90 on the flat last year, he is a four-year-old so progression is possible from his Punchestown placing. Gorgeous Suspect won an ordinary maiden in July and while he might better his 109 rating, lacks a run and might prefer better ground. Temptationinmilan is rated 122 over fences so has a favourable looking hurdles mark, under his 5lb claimer, but his best form is over three miles and might improve from this reappearance. Stablemate From The Ashes has a similar profile and is rated 13lb higher over fences but reappears under top weight. Fill The Tank returned to form recently and is 6lb higher than when winning at Roscommon while Chapel Street is 6lb higher than last month's course win. Great Island is 12lb higher than in winning by 16 lengths at Gowran and remains somewhat unexposed as a lightly-raced seven-year-old. Ena Baie has minor place claims.

GREAT ISLAND left previous form well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Gowran last time and, with the scope for another improved showing, he's marginally preferred to Gorgeous Suspect, who also remains with potential. Fill The Tank, another last-time-out winner, is also worthy of consideration.

In a race with all sorts of possibilities perhaps GREAT ISLAND will defy the 12lb extra incurred for a wide-margin Gowran win

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.
