12:15 Cork Maiden Hurdle 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
5	5 (5) (2/5 +25%) Harsh	0.4 2/5(+25%)	(5) Harsh 2/5, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Promising start over hurdles when third of 12 in juvenile at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 15 days ago. Should have more to offer. One of 2 strong contenders for his stable. Fair maiden on Flat, betrayed inexperience when third on hurdling debut, should improve.
9	9 (9) (7/2 +71%) Evening's Empire	3.5 7/2(+71%)	(9) Evening's Empire 7/2, Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 14/1, sixteenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, heavy) 40 days ago. Won over 7f at two, placed twice this year but she showed no sign of progression.
8	8 (8) (9/1 +55%) Zuzukel	9 9/1(+55%)	(8) Zuzukel 9/1, Fair form when fifth of 8 in newcomers event at Saint-Cloud (led till inside final 1f) only outing on Flat for Carlos Laffon-Parias. New connections acquired him for €38,000 in July. One to note in the betting. Frankel gelding closely related to 1m4f Group 1 winner Junko, one run on Flat in France.
6	6 (6) (12/1 +52%) Inthenickoftime	12 12/1(+52%)	(6) Inthenickoftime 12/1, Gleneagles gelding. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, 1m winner who stayed 1½m on Flat. Best watched on debut unless the betting hints otherwise. Flat-bred, Pattern winners close up in pedigree, own-brother Headwind poor over hurdles.
1	1 (1) (20/1 +70%) Blindman	20 20/1(+70%)	(1) Blindman 20/1, First run since leaving G. Hernon when seventh of 13 in juvenile hurdle (40/1) at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago, very slowly away. Showed some reluctance at Punchestown, not disgraced in the circumstances.
11	11 (11) (80/1 +20%) Tasmanian Girl	80 80/1(+20%)	(11) Tasmanian Girl 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 50/1) 23 days ago. Modest sort on the Flat, has failed to reach the first three in 15 starts, up against it.
7	7 (7) (80/1 +60%) Tom Red	80 80/1(+60%)	(7) Tom Red 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, tenth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) 24 days ago. Ran twice on the Flat, has made no impact in his first two races over hurdles.
3	3 (3) (80/1 -21%) Dougie's Double	80 80/1(-21%)	(3) Dougie's Double 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifteenth of 17 in handicap (66/1) at Galway (8.4f, good to soft). Did not show much in Flat maidens, towards the back off a modest 59 in a Galway handicap.
4	4 (4) (100/1 +50%) Happenstance	100 100/1(+50%)	(4) Happenstance 100/1, Modest Flat winner. 125/1, eighth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago, refusing to settle. Won at two, raced much too keenly and folded tamely on hurdling debut at Punchestown.
2	2 (2) (125/1 +17%) Cant Catch Camacho	125 125/1(+17%)	(2) Cant Catch Camacho 125/1, Poor form on Flat. Outsider now hurdling. Low-rated on Flat, tried over a variety of distances, impossible to make a case for him.

LTO Selection:

HARSH showed promise on the Flat including when just denied on testing ground over 1m4f at the Listowel Festival and there was plenty to like about his hurdle debut at Punchestown last month. The Dark Angel gelding nearly lost his rider at the first hurdle and didn't enjoy a clear passage in the straight before staying on nicely into third behind the impressive Mighty Bandit. Stablemate Jeaniemacaroney may provide the chief threat. She won a barrier trial and was placed a couple of times on the Flat and has taken well to hurdles keeping on well into third behind Semblance Of Order at Punchestown with Timeless Piece, successful twice on the Flat, close behind in fourth. Evening's Empire won a two-year-old maiden on soft ground at the Galway Festival and is another to note on her hurdle debut.

Possibly best to narrow this down to Joseph O'Brien pair HARSH and Jeaniemacaroney, with a preference for the former on the back of his promising opening effort in this sphere at Punchestown a couple of weeks ago. Timeless Piece looks pick of the remainder.

The market may help to clarify the picture but JEANIEMACARONEY gets a tentative vote over stablemate Harsh

Third of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 10/3) on hurdles bow 29 days ago. Sure to improve on that. Bumper form linked to Western Diego, in front of Raglan Road and Teuchters Glory at Gowran.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +40%) Houlanbatordechais	6 6/1(+40%)	(8) Houlanbatordechais 6/1, Promising type. Seventh of 21 in novice hurdle (13/2) at Leopardstown (16f, soft) on hurdles bow. Off 11 months and capable of better if learning to settle. Two APQS wins in 2021, things have not gone according to plan since joining Willie Mullins.
18	18 (18) (7/1 -110%) Raglan Road	7 7/1(-110%)	(18) Raglan Road 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Remote fourth at Gowran on seasonal debut, better judged on second at that venue in March.
21	21 (21) (8/13 +50%) Western Diego	0.615385 8/13(+50%)	(21) Western Diego 8/13, Useful winner at 19f in bumpers. Tailed-off last of 8 to A Dream To Share in Champion INH Flat Race at Punchestown (16.3f, good to soft, 9/1), going with enthusiasm. Useful hurdles prospect. Point and bumper winner, seventh in Cheltenham bumper, has to be forgiven Punchestown flop.
19	19 (19) (8/1 -14%) Teuchters Glory	8 8/1(-14%)	(19) Teuchters Glory 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Below form fifth of 15 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Should run closer to form this time. Placed over hurdles last term, bumper winner, remote fifth on reappearance, can do better.
16	16 (16) (40/1 -264%) Old Port	40 40/1(-264%)	(16) Old Port 40/1, Useful Flat winner, making jumps debut. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to soft, 10/1), not ideally placed. In excellent hands. Six Flat wins for David Evans all but one on AW, not guaranteed to handle soft ground.
14	14 (14) (50/1 -317%) Midweek Voices	50 50/1(-317%)	(14) Midweek Voices 50/1, Fourth of 14 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Jumping again lacked fluency at Limerick, creditable fourth in the circumstances.
10	10 (10) (150/1 -50%) Liberated Light	150 150/1(-50%)	(10) Liberated Light 150/1, Fair winner at 14f on Flat. Eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle (20/1) at this course (16f, soft) 35 days ago. Won a 1m6f maiden at Killarney in July, big improvement needed from first two hurdle runs.
11	11 (11) (150/1 -50%) Lorca	150 150/1(-50%)	(11) Lorca 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. 125/1, fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 17 days ago. Brighton winner over 1m2f on soft for Andrew Balding in 2021, modest hurdles form so far.
13	13 (13) (150/1 -50%) Manor Royale	150 150/1(-50%)	(13) Manor Royale 150/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH Rules. 100/1, eighteenth of 22 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. Showed some promise in a Tipperary bumper in May, never in contention on hurdling debut.
6	6 (6) (150/1 -500%) Fort Randall	150 150/1(-500%)	(6) Fort Randall 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, fifth of 13 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Promise in summer bumpers on good ground, ran respectably on soft on hurdling debut.
20	20 (20) (200/1 -100%) The Dawn	200 200/1(-100%)	(20) The Dawn 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 6 in bumper (100/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on bumper debut 15 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Moderate fourth in a bumper last time, trainer has a stronger candidate in Teuchters Glory.
5	5 (5) (200/1 -100%) Flemens Intrest	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Flemens Intrest 200/1, Sixth of 17 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy, 250/1) 14 days ago. Lightly raced, point winner in April, not a bad run over C&D on second start over hurdles.
23	23 (23) (200/1 +20%) Gentle Anna	200 200/1(+20%)	(23) Gentle Anna 200/1, Thirteenth of 17 in novice hurdle (125/1) at this course (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Promise in points for Colin Bowe, big price when in rear over C&D on debut under rules.
24	24 (24) (200/1 +20%) Misty Milan	200 200/1(+20%)	(24) Misty Milan 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, heavy) 16 days ago. Struggled in outings at Gowran and Fairyhouse last month, makes no appeal.
17	17 (17) (200/1 -300%) Pirate Island	200 200/1(-300%)	(17) Pirate Island 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 8/1, ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Third in a bumper, plenty to find with Midnight Voices on hurdles running at Limerick.
12	12 (12) (250/1 -25%) Lough Nigara	250 250/1(-25%)	(12) Lough Nigara 250/1, Eighth of 17 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy, 200/1) 14 days ago. Soundly beaten in mid-field on first two hurdle runs, possibly one for handicaps later on.
22	22 (22) (250/1 -25%) Flickering Ellie	250 250/1(-25%)	(22) Flickering Ellie 250/1, Champs Elysees mare. Dam (h108) 2m/2¼m hurdle winner (stayed 21f), also 1m-1¼m winner on Flat. First foal out of a Flat and hurdles winner, one of four declared for this by her trainer.
26	26 (26) (250/1 -25%) Georgian Quarter	250 250/1(-25%)	(26) Georgian Quarter 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle (100/1) at this course (16f, soft) 35 days ago. RESERVE. Second reserve, will probably need to get a handicap mark judging by performances so far.
1	1 (1) (250/1 +0%) Aboy Joey	250 250/1(+0%)	(1) Aboy Joey 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Three-figure odds for two maiden hurdle outings last month and has run accordingly.
2	2 (2) (250/1 +0%) Breakintheclouds	250 250/1(+0%)	(2) Breakintheclouds 250/1, 66/1, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 16 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code. Placed twice at a modest level on the Flat, tailed off at Navan on only start over hurdles.
3	3 (3) (250/1 +0%) Corballis Flyer	250 250/1(+0%)	(3) Corballis Flyer 250/1, Making jumps debut. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 25 days ago. Very experienced Flat performer, 2-34 record, fair form during the summer, poor recently.
4	4 (4) (250/1 +0%) Don't Tell Tiny	250 250/1(+0%)	(4) Don't Tell Tiny 250/1, Unplaced completed start in points. 150/1, thirteenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 156 days ago. Weak form in point-to-points during the autumn campaign, unlikely to make an impact.
9	9 (9) (250/1 +0%) Irish Impulse	250 250/1(+0%)	(9) Irish Impulse 250/1, 100/1, fourteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Pulled up on sole point-to-point run last season, in rear over C&D on hurdling debut.

LTO Selection:

WESTERN DIEGO won his only point-to-point start in good style and was a useful sort in bumpers last season scoring in decisive fashion over 2m3f at Naas. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding was far from disgraced in the Cheltenham Festival bumper and is an exciting recruit to hurdles. No Time To Wait impressed in a Down Royal bumper and is closely matched with the selection on running in the aforementioned Cheltenham Grade 1, but was soundly beaten along with Raglan Road and Teuchters Glory in the maiden hurdle won by Ile Atlantique on heavy ground at Gowran last month. Teuchters Glory won two bumpers and probably boasts the best piece of form over hurdles with his third to Spillane's Tower at Naas last spring, while Old Port holds a rating in the 90s on the Flat

This is a deep maiden hurdle with WESTERN DIEGO just about the most persuasive option. He bombed out on his final bumper start during the spring but couldn't be in better hands. No Time To Wait could be a different proposition this time with Old Port also considered given his Flat ability.

Something was the matter with WESTERN DIEGO at Punchestown. His Cheltenham run gives him a narrow edge over No Time To Wait

12:45 Cork Maiden Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:15 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (4/1 -20%) Solitary Man	4 4/1(-20%)	(1) Solitary Man 4/1, Useful hurdler. Third win of season when proving 2½ lengths too strong for the reopposing What Path in C&D listed race 35 days ago. Received 4 lb from her old rival on that occasion so wouldn't be certain to confirm the placings off levels. Beat What Path over C&D last month; 4lb worse off but has scope for more.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -11%) What Path	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) What Path 5/1, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 5/2, creditable 2½ lengths second of 7 to Solitary Man in listed hurdle at this C&D (soft) 35 days ago. Meets Enda Bolger's pair on 4 lb better terms this time. Should go well. 4lb better off with Solitary Man on recent C&D form so claims but more likely needed.
4	4 (4) (7/4 +47%) Search For Glory	1.75 7/4(+47%)	(4) Search For Glory 7/4, Useful hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 7/2, creditable 5¼ lengths third of 6 to Croke Park in Monksfield Novices' Hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 21 days ago. Form last season at 3m inconclusive and likely has a bit to find here.
3	3 (3) (15/8 -71%) Mahon's Way	1.875 15/8(-71%)	(3) Mahon's Way 15/8, Highly promising type. Won 14-runner maiden at Naas (18.9f, soft, 3/1) on hurdles bow 28 days ago, forging clear. Up in trip. Stable having good spell. Smart prospect. Looked smart staying novice in the making at Naas; more required but could be up to it.
5	5 (5) (66/1 +34%) Sarah Beara	66 66/1(+34%)	(5) Sarah Beara 66/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Wexford in August. 20/1, fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Thurles (23f, soft) 17 days ago. Has a bit to find. Mare's weight allowance handy but still has it all to do to nick some black type.

LTO Selection:

There is little to choose between Solitary Man and WHAT PATH judged on filling the first two places in a Listed race over C&D last month. The selection, who won twice over this trip earlier in the season, is not the most fluent of jumpers and was again let down in that department at a crucial stage last time. Search For Glory was highly tried over hurdles last season and took advantage of a good opportunity in a Galway maiden this autumn before placed behind better fancied stablemate Croke Park in a 2m4f Navan Grade 3 last time. Mahon's Way won his only point-to-point start in good style last year and successfully switched to hurdles over 2m3f at Naas last month. He should be suited by this step up in trip.

MAHON'S WAY looked good when making a successful start to his hurdle career at Naas and can take the step up in class in his stride. On 4 lb better terms What Path and can turn the tables on last month's C&D conqueror Solitary Man and given Henry de Bromhead's charge most to do.

Henry de Bromhead won this last year with Hiddenvalley Lake and could repeat the feat here with MAHON'S WAY

13:15 Cork Maiden Hurdle 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:45 Cork Novices Chase 17f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (5/1 -11%) Hauturiere	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) Hauturiere 5/1, Useful hurdler who readily landed 10-runner novice chase (6/5) at Killarney (20f, good to soft) on debut over fences. Off 7 months but has more to offer. In the mix. Debut chase win came at 2m4f, not sure if drop in trip will suit.
1	1 (1) (6/5 +13%) Harmonya Maker	1.2 6/5(+13%)	(1) Harmonya Maker 6/5, Useful hurdler who made a promising start over fences when easily winning 7-runner novice chase (5/2) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Player. Posted career-best RPR when impressing on recent chase debut; respected..
5	5 (5) (6/4 -25%) Zenta	1.5 6/4(-25%)	(5) Zenta 6/4, Ex-French filly who made it 3-4 over hurdles last term in Anniversary Hurdle at Aintree (17f) in April. Also an excellent third in Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. Most interesting chasing newcomer. High-class 4yo hurdler last season and exciting recruit to chasing ranks; Grade 1-entered.
3	3 (3) (18/1 -13%) Heia	18 18/1(-13%)	(3) Heia 18/1, Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 11/4, creditable second of 5 in minor event chase at Clonmel (18.3f, heavy) 45 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Considered. Tramore winner hasn't progressed and looks to have it to do here.
4	4 (4) (33/1 +18%) Silent Approach	33 33/1(+18%)	(4) Silent Approach 33/1, Fair hurdler who comfortably went in at the first time of asking over fences in 12-runner novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 29 days ago. This is much tougher but she's open to improvement. Took really well to fences at Gowran; big step up in grade here but can't be ruled out.

LTO Selection:

HARMONYA MAKER likes to force the pace and easily won twice over hurdles at Fairyhouse last season. The daughter of Saddler Maker may prove even better over fences as she jumped well and handled heavy ground when beating Brandy Love by 11 lengths at Gowran last month. Willie Mullins mounts a strong challenge with three useful mares including Hauturiere who also won twice over hurdles last term including a Listed race at Punchestown. She's been given a summer break since winning easily on her chase debut at Killarney in May. Zenta showed smart form in juvenile hurdles last season winning a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse and, after filling third spot behind stablemate Lossiemouth in the Triumph Hurdle, landed a Grade 1 at Aintree.

Willie Mullins has an excellent record in this Grade 2 event and his smart hurdler ZENTA is fancied to start her life over fences in style. Harmonya Maker impressed when going in at the first time of asking in a Gowran novice chase last month and should ensure the selection doesn't have things all her own way though. Another Mullins inmate Hauturiere appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Harmonya Maker looked smart at Gowran but may have to yield to chasing debutante ZENTA here

13:45 Cork Novices Chase 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:15 Cork Conditions Chase 17f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (1/5 +9%) El Fabiolo	0.2 1/5(+9%)	(1) El Fabiolo 1/5, Cemented his position as last season's leading novice chaser when going 4-4 in Grade 1 at Punchestown by 11 lengths from Dysart Dynamo. Yard has farmed this event in recent years so the Arkle winner looks very hard to beat on his seasonal return. Three Grade 1 wins as an unbeaten novice chaser, head and shoulders above these rivals.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +7%) Fil Dor	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Fil Dor 7/1, Very smart chaser who resumed with a good 1¾ lengths second of 5 to Dinoblue in Poplar Square Chase at Naas (16f, soft, 5/1) 28 days ago, sticking to task. Solid place prospects. Not the most consistent last season, ran well against Mullins-trained Dinoblue at Naas.
6	6 (6) (9/1 -38%) Maskada	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Maskada 9/1, Smart winning chaser who shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off when 17¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Allegorie De Vassy in listed chase at Clonmel (20.4f, heavy) 31 days ago. Yard in good form so no surprise to see him take a big step forward here. Beat El Fabiolo's stablemate Dinoblue in the Grand Annual Chase, runner-up claims.
4	4 (4) (25/1 +24%) Jungle Boogie	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Jungle Boogie 25/1, Unbeaten in three runs, and he scored impressively on his chasing bow in 21f Fairyhouse maiden in January. Lacks experience, but is an exciting prospect. Unbeaten in three starts for Willie Mullins, huge task against background of long absence.
5	5 (5) (50/1 -52%) Vanillier	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Vanillier 50/1, Grade 1 3m hurdles winner. Has made into a smart chaser too and he signed off last term with a fine second of 39 in Grand National at Aintree. Returns from seven months off back over 2m so others appeal more on this occasion. Last season's Grand National runner-up, begins the new campaign over an inadequate trip.
2	2 (2) (125/1 -150%) Rebel Gold	125 125/1(-150%)	(2) Rebel Gold 125/1, Smart chaser. Should strip fitter for his reappearance thirteenth over hurdles at Naas (19.9f, soft, 22/1) 28 days ago but this is a very difficutl ask. Enjoyed a fine campaign last season but would need a career-best to be placed here.

LTO Selection:

EL FABIOLO is already a short price for the Champion Chase in March and it would be a major shock if he couldn't make a winning return here. The Spanish Moon gelding swept all before him in a faultless novice campaign last season, with the most impressive performance coming at Cheltenham where he ran out a convincing winner over Jonbon. With stablemate Energumene out for the season this division looks at his mercy. Even giving weight away to his rivals he still has a fair bit in hand. Vanillier is next best on official ratings but needs a good bit further than this to be seen at his best. Fil Dor may be the one to chase him home. He has already posted a decent effort this season, when second to Dinoblue in Naas.

EL FABIOLO carried all before him over fences last season and the Arkle hero is confidently expected to go 5-5 since sent chasing and maintain Willie Mullins' stranglehold on this Grade 1 event. Henry de Bromhead's unexposed and still unbeaten Jungle Boogie could emerge as the chief threat ahead of the much more experienced duo of Fil Dor and Maskada.

Willie Mullins has a superb record in this event. All looks straightforward for EL FABIOLO, a three-time Grade 1 winner as a novice

14:15 Cork Conditions Chase 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:45 Cork Handicap Hurdle 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
7	7 (7) (3/1 +25%) Ricky Bobby	3 3/1(+25%)	(7) Ricky Bobby 3/1, Course winner. Second of 15 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 17 days ago. Well treated on old form and worth a chance to go one better. Backed up a good Flat run at the Curragh with second over hurdles at Thurles, solid claims.
11	11 (11) (5/2 +0%) McGrath From Clune	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(11) McGrath From Clune 5/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Improved to win 14-runner handicap chase at Thurles (18.4f, soft, 9/4) 17 days ago, readily. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has good chance on form. Promoted to 102 over fences after easy handicap chase win at Thurles, big chance off 96.
3	3 (3) (9/4 +36%) The Banger Doyle	2.25 9/4(+36%)	(3) The Banger Doyle 9/4, Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.6f, soft, 9/4) 17 days ago. Enters calculations. Let down by his jumping when favourite at Thurles, useful Flat/chase form prior to that.
8	8 (8) (17/2 +6%) Skinnider	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(8) Skinnider 17/2, Course winner. Winner in hurdle here in April. Good third of 18 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 7 months. Claims if she's tuned up. Beat McGrath From Clune over C&D in April, absent since third over 2m4f here in May.
6	6 (6) (18/1 -64%) Secret Rock	18 18/1(-64%)	(6) Secret Rock 18/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Below form eighth of 20 in handicap at Navan (10f, soft, 6/1) 67 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Useful form on the Flat since maiden hurdle win at Wexford in March, could be well treated.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -64%) Bestaline	18 18/1(-64%)	(2) Bestaline 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 29 days ago. Useful juvenile hurdle form, dropped in class now after keeping good company last time.
4	4 (4) (18/1 -125%) Pride Of Place	18 18/1(-125%)	(4) Pride Of Place 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 18 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, soft, 150/1) 35 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should improve. Sixth in a C&D maiden last month was a step in the right direction, merits respect.
5	5 (5) (25/1 -79%) Cregane Ned	25 25/1(-79%)	(5) Cregane Ned 25/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 12 in novice chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 159 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Last five runs have been over fences, no hurdles run since third at Limerick two years ago.
10	10 (10) (28/1 +15%) Moulane West	28 28/1(+15%)	(10) Moulane West 28/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 50/1, first run since leaving Richard Anthony Foley when fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) 24 days ago. 0-13 over hurdles and generally disappointing since a spell of good form early last season.
1	1 (1) (40/1 -100%) Cafe Con Leche	40 40/1(-100%)	(1) Cafe Con Leche 40/1, Below form tenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, soft, 50/1) 22 days ago. Has tended to struggle since Limerick win off 6lb lower in February, others preferred.

LTO Selection:

RICKY BOBBY returned to form back over hurdles last time and he's well treated on past exploits, so he gets the vote over last-time-out winner McGrath From Clune, who reverts to the smaller obstacles on a handy mark. The Banger Doyle is also considered.

A comfortable winner over fences at Thurles, MCGRATH FROM CLUNE can be fancied to exploit a mark 6lb below his revised chase mark

3	3 (3) (10/1 +29%) West Away	10 10/1(+29%)	(3) West Away 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.6f, good) 61 days ago. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Plenty to find on previous two handicap efforts although could improve for step up in trip.

Below form tenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft, 10/1) 157 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Philip Fenton. Now 0-15 hurdling, some of last season's form would give her a chance off basement mark.

21	21 (21) (20/1 +20%) Glorious Singer	20 20/1(+20%)	(21) Glorious Singer 20/1, Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs. Creditable 7 lengths fifth of 9 to Blossom De Mai in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Tramore (21f, soft) 12 days ago. Well exposed in handicaps; bit to find with a couple of today's rivals on Tramore run.
22	22 (22) (22/1 +67%) Miala Araya	22 22/1(+67%)	(22) Miala Araya 22/1, 16/1, first run since leaving Mark Cahill when respectable fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Wasn't discredited over inadequate 2m at Thurles on recent yard debut; others preferred.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +24%) Barryroe Madam	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Barryroe Madam 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 18 in novice hurdle (80/1) at this C&D (soft) 35 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Beaten a fair way in 2m4f maidens, latest over C&D; best watched now on handicap debut.
10	10 (10) (28/1 -75%) Knocknaconnery	28 28/1(-75%)	(10) Knocknaconnery 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft, 250/1) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve.

19	19 (19) (33/1 -175%) Aodhan May	33 33/1(-175%)	(19) Aodhan May 33/1, 25/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Clonmel (20.4f, heavy) 31 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Better chaser but has to be respected here off 9lb lower hurdles mark.
17	17 (17) (50/1 +0%) Ivy Park	50 50/1(+0%)	(17) Ivy Park 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 18 in novice hurdle at this C&D (soft) 35 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Hasn't counted in 3 maidens at this trip; 8yo mare hard to make a case for on handicap bow.
14	14 (14) (66/1 -230%) Colline Fleurie	66 66/1(-230%)	(14) Colline Fleurie 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 150/1) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Not much in maidens at huge prices; tongue tie fitted for handicap debut.
18	18 (18) (66/1 -32%) Mason Lady	66 66/1(-32%)	(18) Mason Lady 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy) 19 days ago. Never counted on last month's handicap debut at Limerick; 4yo can only be watched for now.

Makes handicap hurdle debut. Nothing so far at huge prices in maidens, impossible to make a case for on handicap debut.
12	12 (12) (80/1 -21%) Tullabrack Lad	80 80/1(-21%)	(12) Tullabrack Lad 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 300/1, tenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Shown nothing at huge odds in maidens, hard to fancy on handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

MAGIC CONQUEROR wouldn't be winning out of turn here after a couple of good runner-up efforts. The Presenting mare chased home Blossom De Mai at Tramore 12 days ago and is now 5lb better off with that rival. She didn't do much wrong the last day and has been generally consistent so deserves her turn. Blossom De Mai came wide, maybe on slightly better ground, last time and was a good winner at the line. That was a big improvement and it will be interesting to see if she can back it up. C'est Rien, who was fourth in that Tramore race, is another that has to come into calculations.

CHAMPAGNE MAHLER took a step forward despite not being subjected to a hard ride when third at Wexford last month and looks an interesting contender up in trip on handicap bow. Blossom de Mai and Magic Conqueror arrive in top form having finished 1-2 at Tramore 12 days ago and they head the dangers.

Last month's Tramore winner BLOSSOM DE MAI can confirm that form with Magic Conqueror on 4lb worse terms

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.
