1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +31%) Pray Tell		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(4) Pray Tell 9/2, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. 9/2, creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good) 53 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Back up in trip. Stays this trip well and likely to give a good account on his first try at this level.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/4 +33%) Minella Sixo		1.25 5/4(+33%)																															(2) Minella Sixo 5/4, Made it 2 wins from 3 starts in 4-runner novice hurdle (1/3) at Thurles (22.9f, good) 17 days ago. Capable of better again. Stepped up in trip again to win a Thurles novice hurdle two weeks ago; promising stayer.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/4 +61%) Just For Love		2.75 11/4(+61%)																															(6) Just For Love 11/4, 11/2, creditable 6 lengths second of 8 to World of Fortunes in listed hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft) just over 7 weeks ago, going with enthusiasm. Fancied to be in the shake-up. Yard also saddles Luckinthecity. Good effort in a 2m5f Listed contest at Limerick latest; stays well and should be involved.
4	5 4th (5) (80/1 -100%) Therellbguddaysyet		80 80/1(-100%)																															(5) Therellbguddaysyet 80/1, Left debut form in this sphere well behind to spring a surprise in 7-runner maiden hurdle (40/1) at Thurles (20.7f, good) 10 days ago. This demands another huge chunk of improvement. Got up late to win a Thurles maiden hurdle last week; much more needed stepping up in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 -230%) Churchroad Prince		11 11/1(-230%)																															(3) Churchroad Prince 11/1, 7/4, confirmed previous hurdling promise when cosily winning 14-runner maiden at Ballinrobe (22.6f, good) when last seen 6 months ago. Remains open to improvement. First run since May and has a little to find but no surprise if he was able to.
1	1 |F| (1) (6/1 -50%) Luckinthecity		6 6/1(-50%)																															(1) Luckinthecity 6/1, Bumper winner who arrives 2-2 over hurdles, winning 14-runner maiden at Kilbeggan in August then holding on gamely in C&D novice 8 weeks ago. Open to further improvement and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick up in grade. C&D winner; still more to come from him and should be able to handle softer ground.

It might be worth taking a chance on CHURCHROAD PRINCE. Trained locally by the shrewd Jonathan Sweeney, this six-year-old hasn't been seen since winning at Ballinrobe in May. A brother to Jonjo O'Neill's Bill Joyce, a Grade 2 winner at Sandown on Friday, he is likely to be suited by this step up in trip. The hat-trick seeking Luckinthecity won by a short head when last seen over C&D in October but was somewhat fortunate, with the rider of the runner-up losing his whip. His stable companion Just For Love warrants respect getting a mares' allowance, while Minella Sixo has obvious claims after missing Saturday's Navan engagement. Pray Tell and Therellbguddaysyet complete the line-up.

Cases can be made for most of these, but LUCKINTHECITY is 2-2 in this sphere and with further progress anticipated, Willie Mullins' 5-y-o can take this step up in class in his stride at the expense of Minella Sixo, who is declared to run at Navan on Saturday but would be a huge danger if turning up here. Pray Tell saw his winning run come to an end last time, but he remained in good form so rounds off the shortlist.

Slight preference is for JUST FOR LOVE, who ran into a good one at Limerick last time and this longer trip is likely to suit

1	5 1st (5) (2/1 -14%) Only By Night		2 2/1(-14%)																															(5) Only By Night 2/1, Promising individual. Career best when winning 8-runner novice chase (9/2) at Tipperary (16.4f, soft) on debut over fences 16 days ago, soon clear. Can make presence felt. Impressive chase debut at Tipperary indicated that she could be even better over fences.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/4 +22%) Nara		1.75 7/4(+22%)																															(8) Nara 7/4, Promising type. Career best when winning 5-runner novice chase at Gowran (16f, good, evens) 29 days ago, easily. Should progress again and makes plenty of appeal. Bounced back to win a mares beginners at Gowran last month; classy and should go close.
3	7 3rd (7) (20/1 +0%) Karia Des Blaises		20 20/1(+0%)																															(7) Karia Des Blaises 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle (9/1) at Listowel (16.4f, good), doing too much too soon. Off 6 months. Makes chase debut. Bad fall in the Boodles at Cheltenham may have left its mark in three subsequent runs.
4	3 4th (3) (25/1 -39%) Kilbarry Saint		25 25/1(-39%)																															(3) Kilbarry Saint 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 15/2, 16½ lengths third of 5 to Nara in novice chase at Gowran (16f, good) on debut over fences 29 days ago. Likely to improve. No match for Nara at Gowran last month on her chase debut; should improve.
5th	1 5th (1) (16/1 -14%) A Law Of Her Own		16 16/1(-14%)																															(1) A Law Of Her Own 16/1, Fairly useful chaser. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 9/1, bit below form third of 7 in novice chase at Clonmel (20.8f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Placed on all three runs over fences included at Grade 3 and Listed level; should go okay.
6th	4 6th (4) (150/1 -50%) Must Be Dreaming		150 150/1(-50%)																															(4) Must Be Dreaming 150/1, Modest chaser. Latest win in chase at Tramore in September. Fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Thurles (16.6f, good, 13/2) 17 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Tramore winner well beaten twice since and looks a little out of her depth here.
2	2 |U| (2) (50/1 -52%) Air Drop		50 50/1(-52%)																															(2) Air Drop 50/1, Fairly useful chaser. 3/1, 37½ lengths last of 5 to Nara in novice chase at Gowran (16f, good) 29 days ago. Not dismissed. Better than her run at Gowran but needs to find a bit to be involved.
6	6 |PU| (6) (5/2 +29%) Zenta		2.5 5/2(+29%)																															(6) Zenta 5/2, Useful hurdler. 8/13, respectable fourth of 14 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (17.1f, good). Off 7 months. More to come in this sphere. Jumped sketchily on chasing debut at Ballinrobe in May; should be capable of much better.

Impressive winners at Tipperary and Gowran respectively, ONLY BY NIGHT and Nara look the ones to focus on. The Gavin Cromwell-trained former easily accounted for an odds-on chance when successful at the Limerick Junction venue and, back against her own sex now, she might be able to follow up. Still only a four-year-old, Nara gets a weight allowance. She trounced her rivals when last seen at Gowran and had the reopposing Kilbarry Saint and Air Drop behind. A winner at the highest level over flights, Zenta looks the best of the rest. Disappointingly beaten into fourth on her debut over fences at Ballinrobe in May, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to bounce back. A Law Of Her Own has some solid form to her name and is another who warrants respect.

ZENTA didn't quite come up to expectations on chasing debut but she's the pick on hurdles form and should improve after 7 months off, so she's marginally preferred to recent winners Only By Night and Nara.

Preference is for ONLY BY NIGHT, who could well be a better chaser than hurdler based on her Tipperary success against geldings

1	6 1st (6) (5/4 -56%) Energumene		1.25 5/4(-56%)																															(6) Energumene 5/4, Top-class chaser who was very much on song in spring 2023, winning a second Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in March before following up at Punchestown in April. Not seen since but still the one to beat. Dual Champion Chase winner, missed last season, sets a very high standard if fit and ready.

C&D winner. 11/10, creditable 1½ lengths third of 9 to Banbridge in William Hill Champion Chase at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Yard having good spell.

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap chase at this course (17.6f, good, 11/4) 56 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Now has 3-10 record over fences after C&D handicap win eight weeks ago, this is ambitious.
6th	7 6th (7) (16/1 +43%) Hunters Yarn		16 16/1(+43%)																															(7) Hunters Yarn 16/1, Smart chaser. 15/2, bit below form 21½ lengths fifth of 10 to Gaelic Warrior in Arkle Chase at Cheltenham (15.9f, heavy). Off 9 months. Yard having good spell. Difficult ask. Inexperience proved costly when he contested the Arkle, taking on talented stablemates.
3	3 |F| (3) (7/1 +0%) Ferny Hollow		7 7/1(+0%)																															(3) Ferny Hollow 7/1, High-class chaser. Didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner Newlands Chase at Naas (16f, heavy, 2/5) by 5½ lengths from Rebel Gold, easily. Off 9 months. A top-class performer whose career has been beset with problems, unbeaten over fences.
1	1 |U| (1) (16/1 -14%) Banbridge		16 16/1(-14%)																															(1) Banbridge 16/1, High-class chaser. Ten wins from 18 NH runs. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 10/3, 28¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Found A Fifty in Fortria Chase at Navan (16f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Should be sharper now. Ended last season with fine Punchestown triumph, ring-rusty on reappearance at Navan.

ENERGUMENE won this race in 2021 and 2022 before enjoying arguably his finest hour the following spring when beating Captain Guinness by 10 lengths to land his second Champion Chase at Cheltenham. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding now reappears after an absence of 593 days and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market. The champion trainer saddles six of the eight runners and the fragile Ferny Hollow is also a classy Grade 1 winner, while Appreciate It ran a cracker when runner-up to Fastorslow on his reappearance in the John Durkan Chase last year. Banbridge had Dinoblue over a length behind in third when taking the Champion Chase at the Punchestown Festival last spring, but will not be suited by soft ground.

Willie Mullins dominates this race and ENERGUMENE can make light of his absence and win it for a third time. Banbridge can step up on his reappearance and provide the chief threat ahead of Blue Lord, another from the Mullins yard returning from a layoff.

If near his best for his return Energumene willl be hard to beat. However, at the likely odds DINOBLUE is a feasible alternative

The form of the bumper that YOUNG LUCY won here last year has worked out well and while she hasn't added to that success, there were plenty of positives to be taken from her return to hurdles over 2m5f at Cheltenham last month. She finished well when beating all bar favourite Double Powerful and gets the vote over Johnny Blue, who won a Worcester bumper for Nicky Henderson and now joins Willie Mullins having filled the runner-up spot twice in maiden hurdles last season. From The Ashes enters calculations on his second at Leopardstown last spring and should benefit from a recent run over fences. Killaney King and Whatsafellatodo are others to consider.

YOUNG LUCY likely would have won at Cheltenham last month but for a mistake at the last and can gain compensation now. Johnny Blue is a potentially dangerous opponent having joined Willie Mullins for his handicap career. One Big Boum and Whatsafellatodo complete the shortlist.

The one to be on is YOUNG LUCY(nap) who was unlucky not to score in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last month

4	10 4th (10) (16/1 +0%) Seskin Flash		16 16/1(+0%)																															(10) Seskin Flash 16/1, Creditable eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, good, 14/1) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Fair maiden form, not a bad effort in mid-field at Thurles in first handicap, may improve.
5th	14 5th (14) (14/1 +13%) Junot		14 14/1(+13%)																															(14) Junot 14/1, Winner in hurdle at Wexford in May.

9th	9 9th (9) (22/1 -10%) Lispendense		22 22/1(-10%)																															(9) Lispendense 22/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. 9/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft) 69 days ago, Tongue strap on 1st time. Runner-up over a shorter trip here in August, had an excuse for Roscommon failure.
10th	12 10th (12) (80/1 +0%) Dalmatic		80 80/1(+0%)																															(12) Dalmatic 80/1, Last of 12 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 66/1) 120 days ago. Up in trip. Weak form in maiden hurdles, 66-1 when last of 12 at Kilbeggan in his first handicap.
11th	3 11th (3) (11/2 -10%) Colleen Danu		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(3) Colleen Danu 11/2, 1 win from 2 runs this season. 11/4, career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Gowran (19.8f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Needs considering. Winning favourite in a 2m4f mares' handicap at Gowran, should not be far away off new mark.
12th	21 12th (21) (8/1 +50%) Rebel Cowgirl		8 8/1(+50%)																															(21) Rebel Cowgirl 8/1, Below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24.7f, soft, 16/1) 16 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Down Royal second in March came out of the blue, overall credentials are not persuasive.
13th	16 13th (16) (28/1 -40%) Wyoming Baby		28 28/1(-40%)																															(16) Wyoming Baby 28/1, Ninth of 13 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21f, heavy, 200/1) 12 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Point winner, poor form in maiden hurdles, could perhaps find her level in handicaps.
14th	7 14th (7) (28/1 +30%) Island Mccoo		28 28/1(+30%)																															(7) Island Mccoo 28/1, Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Ballinrobe (22f, good) 138 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Barry T. Murphy. Maiden hurdle form is not without merit, well beaten in first handicap, has changed stable.
15th	18 15th (18) (50/1 -52%) Imperial Tune		50 50/1(-52%)																															(18) Imperial Tune 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 8/1, seventh of 8 in hunter chase at Tipperary (23.3f, good to soft). Off over 2 years. Switches from chase to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Second in a maiden here in 2021, placed in points, absent since May 2022, best watched.
16th	8 16th (8) (66/1 -450%) Let Him B		66 66/1(-450%)																															(8) Let Him B 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Tramore (16.2f, heavy) 12 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. Maiden form offers no encouragement but merits a precautionary look in the market.
17th	4 17th (4) (20/1 +50%) Kobalt St Georges		20 20/1(+50%)																															(4) Kobalt St Georges 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Tipperary (20.4f, soft) 16 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. Major improvement needed from his recent handicap debut at Tipperary, hooded now.
18th	17 18th (17) (50/1 -25%) Do The Math		50 50/1(-25%)																															(17) Do The Math 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 200/1, nineteenth of 22 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good). Off 6 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Three-figure odds and beaten a long way in four maiden hurdles, hard to make a case.
19th	15 19th (15) (12/1 +25%) Del Girl		12 12/1(+25%)																															(15) Del Girl 12/1, 4/1, below form eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (19.9f, good) 154 days ago, shaped as if amiss. Went very close at Punchestown in June, failed to match that form when favourite at Sligo.
20th	19 20th (19) (20/1 +20%) Ladyeze Man		20 20/1(+20%)																															(19) Ladyeze Man 20/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Ballinrobe (22f, good) 138 days ago. Went close in a 2m3f handicap here 14 months ago, failed to match that form subsequently.
21st	6 21st (6) (20/1 +39%) Splendid Choice		20 20/1(+39%)																															(6) Splendid Choice 20/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft, 33/1) 180 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Placed in a weak maiden, initial handicap form has been moderate, cheekpieces tried now.
22nd	2 22nd (2) (18/1 -50%) Zoomtime		18 18/1(-50%)																															(2) Zoomtime 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Good second of 15 in novice hurdle (17/2) at Killarney (17f, good to soft). First run for yard after leaving Ross O'Sullivan. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Placed twice in maidens for this rider and three times in all, off for 14 months, new yard.

A NOD TO GETAWAY won a 2m1f Wexford handicap on soft ground back in May and subsequently showed he's versatile in terms of distance when runner-up in a 2m7f Killarney chase. He was staying on over 2m at Thurles last time and is preferred to Hesasmoothoperator, who has been placed on his latest two starts over this trip and should go close if handling softer ground. Colleen Danu scored on just her second start for Pat Foley at Gowran last month, while The Dooner Citizen finished well at Tramore last time. Lispendense, Del Girl, One And Only and first reserve Duffys Hodey are others to note.

LIBERATED LIGHT took a step back in the right direction at Navan 3 weeks ago and could be the answer off a tempting mark. Hesasmoothoperator and Colleen Danu are feared most.

There is a fair chance that DUFFYS HODEY will make the line-up as first reserve. If so, he can defy a 7lb penalty for his Clonmel 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. 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.
