13:07 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 17f - 21 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (5/4 +44%) Faulty	1.25 5/4(+44%)	(10) Faulty 5/4, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable second of 16 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy, 10/3) on reappearance 25 days ago. Sets the standard. Recent Punchestown second edges it on form but needs more fluency in jumping.
2	5 2nd (5) (66/1 -313%) Addragoole	66 66/1(-313%)	(5) Addragoole 66/1, Gatewood gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Papal Lodge. Dam unraced. Stable having good spell. Betting should guide with this newcomer. Newcomer one of several for the yard here and market should tell us a lot.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/2 +63%) Doctor Glide	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(8) Doctor Glide 9/2, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, tenth of 23 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 82 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Fairyhouse debut run not built on at Leopardstown; tongue tie now fitted.
4	14 4th (14) (4/1 +33%) Lightkeeper	4 4/1(+33%)	(14) Lightkeeper 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 16 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy, 15/8) 25 days ago, with the reopposing Faulty 11 lengths ahead in second. One to consider. Solid level of form in maidens but bit to find with Faulty on recent Punchestown effort.
5th	1 5th (1) (50/1 -213%) Ayiko	50 50/1(-213%)	(1) Ayiko 50/1, Bumper winner. Seventh of 10 in maiden at Ayr (16f, good to soft, 5/1) on hurdles bow 9 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Should improve. Ayr bumper winner but tame hurdles debut run at same track latest; tongue tie fitted.
6th	20 6th (20) (150/1 -50%) Laurie Blue	150 150/1(-50%)	(20) Laurie Blue 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle at Leopardstown (18.3f, soft) 14 days ago. Point second beaten a long way in both hurdles runs this season.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/4 +39%) Icare Desbois	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(3) Icare Desbois 11/4, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Creditable fifth of 11 in novice hurdle (5/4) at Naas (18.5f, soft) 49 days ago. Yard in good form. Likely to be on the premises. Penultimate Leopardstown third gives him major claims but needs to bounce back from Navan.
8th	16 8th (16) (125/1 -279%) Club Manager	125 125/1(-279%)	(16) Club Manager 125/1, Fair Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 16f on flat. 33/1, fifth of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. Hasn't looked the most natural of jumpers in two maidens; plenty to find.
9th	6 9th (6) (125/1 -89%) Aurea Fortuna	125 125/1(-89%)	(6) Aurea Fortuna 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 28 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 150/1) on NH debut 82 days ago. Beaten a long way on Leopardstown debut at Christmas, best watched for now.
15	15 \|U\| (15) (12/1 -71%) On Your Way	12 12/1(-71%)	(15) On Your Way 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 4/1, well-held third of 12 in maiden hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, soft) 33 days ago. Needs improvement. 20l to find with Clonshire River on Limerick run but likely improver.
21	21 \|U\| (21) (100/1 -525%) Evies Court	100 100/1(-525%)	(21) Evies Court 100/1, Court Cave filly. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) Loose Preformer and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Just Milly. RESERVE. Newcomer best watched unless market suggests otherwise; reserve.
10th	19 10th (19) (200/1 -100%) Georgia Celena	200 200/1(-100%)	(19) Georgia Celena 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, fourteenth of 25 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 99 days ago. Tailed off after never counting on Navan hurdles debut, can only be watched.
11th	4 11th (4) (200/1 -400%) Deep Sigh	200 200/1(-400%)	(4) Deep Sigh 200/1, Fair Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 8f on flat. 80/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f) 86 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. 7/11 on last hurdle run. Losing run since Flat win in 2021 in Britain, likely to be of more interest in handicaps.
12th	9 12th (9) (150/1 -200%) Fairytale New York	150 150/1(-200%)	(9) Fairytale New York 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy, 40/1) on NH debut 80 days ago. Ran poorly on Leopardstown debut at Christmas, can only be watched.
13th	13 13th (13) (250/1 -150%) Kalsman	250 250/1(-150%)	(13) Kalsman 250/1, Modest hurdler. Hood on for 1st time in this code, thirteenth of 14 in claimer at Dundalk (12f, 200/1), slowly away. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Low-grade Flat maiden and hurdles form last summer doesn't inspire confidence.
14th	18 14th (18) (66/1 -560%) Shahbaz	66 66/1(-560%)	(18) Shahbaz 66/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in Britain for Charlie Fellowes. Better than result when ninth of 14 in juvenile at Navan (16f, heavy, 5/2) on hurdle debut 15 days ago, still close up 2 out. Should have more to offer. Faded tamely on recent hurdles debut on heavy; won't want too much more rain.
15th	12 15th (12) (250/1 -150%) Helicon	250 250/1(-150%)	(12) Helicon 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in bumper at Thurles (15.6f, soft, 100/1) 33 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Well held in three bumpers and can't be fancied to make an immediate impact hurdling.
16th	22 16th (22) (150/1 -200%) Raynbo	150 150/1(-200%)	(22) Raynbo 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. RESERVE. Weakened tamely after setting sedate pace at Navan recently; reserve.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (25/1 -79%) En Or	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) En Or 25/1, Promising type. Fairly useful winner at 14f on flat. Last of 8 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, soft, 12/1) when last seen in October. Caught the eye a bit when fourth on hurdle debut last May. Open to progress in this sphere. Useful Flat performer and encouraging hurdles debut; lacks a recent run though.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (150/1 -200%) Glentaisie	150 150/1(-200%)	(11) Glentaisie 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, sixth of 7 in bumper at Downpatrick (17.4f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 10 months. Makes hurdles debut. No impression in a Downpatrick bumper last May, can only be watched on hurdles bow.

FAULTY returned from a 364-day break to finish 11 lengths ahead of Lightkeeper when just denied at Punchestown last month, which was a highly encouraging display. Noel Meade's gelding sets the standard on the back of that effort and he could be the one to beat. As for the latter, he continues to get closer and it would be no surprise to see him on the premises once again. Of the remainder, Clonshire River appeals most following his runner-up display at Thurles last month.

Noel Meade's FAULTY made a good return to action when second at Punchestown last month and can build on that and deservedly get his head in front. Icare Desbois let favourite backers down at Naas last time but is still feared most ahead of Gordon Elliott's Lightkeeper, who was behind the selection at Punchestown.

Mistakes proved costly for FAULTY at Punchestown last month but given more fluent jumping he could be the one to be on here

13:07 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:42 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 20f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (25/1 +38%) Mousey Brown	25 25/1(+38%)	(6) Mousey Brown 25/1, Below form ninth of 19 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Leopardstown (18f, soft) 42 days ago. Ran well in a competitive mares contest at Leopardstown; could outrun her likely odds.
2	14 2nd (14) (11/1 -175%) Billy Lee Swagger	11 11/1(-175%)	(14) Billy Lee Swagger 11/1, Winner in hurdle at Punchestown in December. 2/1, good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 52 days ago. Up in trip. Not taken lightly. More rain will help but up 12lb in total makes this a difficult ask; should go well though.
3	3 3rd (3) (25/1 +24%) Sportinthepark	25 25/1(+24%)	(3) Sportinthepark 25/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Winner in hurdle at Wexford in November. Seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, soft, 33/1) 79 days ago. Plenty to find on form. No show on his handicap debut at Leopardstown last time and others look more likely.
4	13 4th (13) (9/2 +55%) Paddy's Milestone	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(13) Paddy's Milestone 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.3f, heavy, 5/1) 50 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Possibly improving and ran to a similar level on his last two maiden hurdle starts.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -57%) Rowdy Romeo	11 11/1(-57%)	(5) Rowdy Romeo 11/1, 10/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Thurles (23.7f, soft) 12 days ago, pushed out. Deserves respect. Thurles winner effective at this trip too and should be competitive off a 6lb higher mark.
6th	4 6th (4) (18/1 -80%) Striking	18 18/1(-80%)	(4) Striking 18/1, 5/1, respectable third of 7 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 71 days ago. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Fair run when third in a Cork novice event in January; could find a couple too good.
7th	16 7th (16) (33/1 -230%) Dinoland	33 33/1(-230%)	(16) Dinoland 33/1, Possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Sligo (25.4f, good to soft), folding tamely approaching 2 out. Off 6 months. Down in trip. Can get competitive if he's tuned up for this return. Poor at Sligo when last seen in August and looks best watched this time.
9	9 \|B\| (9) (9/1 -200%) Cave Court	9 9/1(-200%)	(9) Cave Court 9/1, Course winner. Fairly useful winner at 20f in chases. Good second of 14 in handicap chase (5/2) at this course (24f, soft) 127 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Should go well again. Won four of his last five; 15lb better off over hurdles; a big player if fit enough.
15	15 \|F\| (15) (9/2 +50%) Must Go Now	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(15) Must Go Now 9/2, Promising individual. Third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft, 20/1) 115 days ago. More to come up in trip and this looks a good chance to open his account. Another four month absence to take into account but the trip should suit and has a chance.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (14/1 +13%) Barry Lyndon	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Barry Lyndon 14/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 25/1, fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Galway (20.7f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs to improve. Probably wants better ground but an interesting runner from a stable running into form.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (16/5 +29%) Redstone	3.2 16/5(+29%)	(1) Redstone 16/5, Promising type. 7/4, sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 106 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Remains with potential and might have been let in lightly. Beat King Of Kingsfield in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle; could be absolutely thrown in here.
8	8 \|U\| (8) (7/1 +30%) West Away	7 7/1(+30%)	(8) West Away 7/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Winner in hurdle at Cork in December. 5/1, respectable sixth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 80 days ago. Can make presence felt. Cork winner ran okay in a more competitive Leopardstown event off this mark should go well.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (25/1 -25%) Nathan Wells	25 25/1(-25%)	(10) Nathan Wells 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form seventh of 19 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Gowran (20.1f, heavy) 29 days ago. Others make more appeal. Well beaten on both handicap starts at Gowran, last time over this trip; others preferred.
11	11 \|U\| (11) (50/1 +24%) San Martino	50 50/1(+24%)	(11) San Martino 50/1, 80/1, fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 16 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Below form on last hurdle outing. Must improve. Encouraging effort on the Flat at Dundalk two weeks ago but others more likely.

ROWDY ROMEO was value for more than the winning margin when scoring over further at Thurles earlier in the month and dropping back in trip should hold no fears off a 6lb higher mark. The seven-year-old's chief threats look to be Cave Court, who switches back to the smaller obstacles, as well as the narrow Gowran Park second Billy Lee Swagger. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Must Go Now, Paddy's Milestone and West Away.

MUST GO NOW improved on handicap debut when third at Thurles 115 days ago and this longer trip should bring further progress out of him, so he's marginally preferred to Redstone, who could have more to offer after just two runs. Billy Lee Swagger also makes appeal in an open race.

They could be blown away by top-weight REDSTONE, whose maiden hurdle win at Fairyhouse looks very good in the context of this race

13:42 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:17 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 20f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (11/4 -57%) Silent Flight	2.75 11/4(-57%)	(1) Silent Flight 11/4, 1 win from 2 runs this season. 17/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, heavy) 48 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Worth a chance to follow up. Up 9lb for Punchestown but this is not a strong contest and high on the shortlist.
2	2 (2) (11/4 +39%) The Niffler	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(2) The Niffler 11/4, Below form seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Clonmel (16f, heavy) 31 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. Merits consideration on a handy mark with Jack Kennedy booked again. Fancied to do better on his most recent handicap start at Clonmel; Jack Kennedy on again.
3	3 (3) (9/2 +0%) Maimie's Magic	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(3) Maimie's Magic 9/2, Creditable third of 9 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 6/1) 15 days ago. Generally consistent and should remain competitive. Solid Navan handicap form in the context of this race and unlikely to be too far away.
12	12 (12) (9/1 +55%) Fairly Bold	9 9/1(+55%)	(12) Fairly Bold 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, good tenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22.4f, good to soft). Off 13 months. Likely to need the run. Not dismissed but needs to find more and entitled to need it after a lengthy absence.
6	6 (6) (11/1 -10%) Joeswayornoway	11 11/1(-10%)	(6) Joeswayornoway 11/1, Unreliable sort. Two wins from 41 NH runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.4f, soft, 11/1) 24 days ago. Back up in trip. Each-way claims on her best form although not really proven yet over this sort of trip.
11	11 (11) (12/1 +40%) Rebel Cowgirl	12 12/1(+40%)	(11) Rebel Cowgirl 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 8 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Has plenty to find. Little to recommend from her maiden form; best watched here on her handicap debut.
16	16 (16) (14/1 -27%) Flashthelights	14 14/1(-27%)	(16) Flashthelights 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving S. McConville when sixteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at this course (17f, soft, 16/1) 82 days ago. No show on his stable debut here at Christmas; worth a market check but others preferred.
15	15 (15) (16/1 -14%) Ferrum	16 16/1(-14%)	(15) Ferrum 16/1, 14/1, ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.9f, heavy) 25 days ago. Needs to bounce back quickly. Probably didn't get home over 3m1f at Punchestown last month; respected on his best form.
7	7 (7) (20/1 +39%) College Causeway	20 20/1(+39%)	(7) College Causeway 20/1, 14/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24.2f, heavy) 171 days ago, driven after 4 out. Well beaten in handicaps at up to 3m; off since September and hard to fancy.
10	10 (10) (25/1 +38%) Perfect Pupil	25 25/1(+38%)	(10) Perfect Pupil 25/1, Unseated rider in novice chase at Thurles (20.8f, soft, 100/1) on debut over fences 12 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. A couple of okay runs in handicap hurdles at Clonmel and Punchestown in December; claims.
17	17 (17) (28/1 -300%) Subset	28 28/1(-300%)	(17) Subset 28/1, One win from 28 NH runs. Winner in chase at Punchestown in April. Below form third of 10 in handicap chase (3/1) at Punchestown (24f, good). Off 9 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Worth monitoring in the betting. Off since June but if fit enough and if he handles the ground he has to be respected.
14	14 (14) (66/1 -230%) Father Jed	66 66/1(-230%)	(14) Father Jed 66/1, 25/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20f, soft) 142 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Has tended to need his first run and that is unlikely to have changed at this age.

SILENT FLIGHT was value for further when opening his account over this distance at Punchestown last time out and a 9lb rise may not be enough to prevent the gelding from completing a double. Fellow in-form rival Maimie's Magic could emerge as the biggest danger if gaining an easy lead and the seven-year-old shouldn't be taken lightly. The reappearing Subset also makes some appeal on this switch to hurdles.

SILENT FLIGHT stayed on strongly to justify support at Punchestown last time and, in a thin race, he may be able to defy a rise if the emphasis is sufficiently on stamina. Maimie's Magic should give another good account and The Niffler looks potentially well treated.

The likeliest winner is topweight SILENT FLIGHT (nap), up 9lb for his Punchestown win, but this is less competitive

14:17 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:52 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 20f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
6	6 (6) (7/2 -27%) Stockdale	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(6) Stockdale 7/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Navan (22f, heavy) 35 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Ran with credit in handicaps here and at Navan after long break; trip and ground are fine.
9	9 (9) (4/1 +27%) Jacenry	4 4/1(+27%)	(9) Jacenry 4/1, Promising type. Sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at this course (17f, soft, 50/1) 82 days ago, not knocked about. Has good chance on form. This trip promises to suit on the evidence of his last run and could well be thereabouts.
10	10 (10) (6/1 +40%) Paddy Elvis	6 6/1(+40%)	(10) Paddy Elvis 6/1, 33/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) 33 days ago. Didn't get home over 3m at Ayr last time; this trip should suit but needs to find a bit.
1	1 (1) (13/2 -95%) Golden Nugget	6.5 13/2(-95%)	(1) Golden Nugget 13/2, 33/1, seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 91 days ago. Still early days for stop stable but she'll need improvement. Okay run at Navan; could hardly have been found a better opportunity if he has any ability.
17	17 (17) (17/2 -6%) Perfect Arch	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(17) Perfect Arch 17/2, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. Good sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.6f, heavy, 20/1) 22 days ago. Enters calculations. Bits and pieces of form; not beaten far at Fairyhouse last month; possible each-way chance.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +67%) Backinabit	11 11/1(+67%)	(8) Backinabit 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 52 days ago. Back up in trip. Well beaten on both handicap starts at Naas and Gowran; headgear left off today.
15	15 (15) (12/1 +14%) Wild As Fire	12 12/1(+14%)	(15) Wild As Fire 12/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Fairyhouse (20.5f, heavy) 131 days ago, left behind 4 out. Pulled up on both runs this season in the autumn; hard to fancy on that evidence.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -56%) Shes Some Doll	14 14/1(-56%)	(3) Shes Some Doll 14/1, 9/1, third of 6 in handicap chase at Navan (20.4f, heavy) 15 days ago, going off too hard. Switches from chase to hurdles. Reverts back to hurdles off a 2lb lower mark than fences but last two runs are a concern.
11	11 (11) (16/1 +0%) Tankardstown Diva	16 16/1(+0%)	(11) Tankardstown Diva 16/1, 66/1, seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at this course (17f, soft) 82 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Well beaten in four maiden hurdles; could be capable of better and worth a market check.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -100%) Pralognan	16 16/1(-100%)	(4) Pralognan 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. In good form on Flat when last seen in June. Potential improver over hurdles now handicapping. A market move for him would look significant. Well-handicapped on his Flat form, and if he can do himself justice, this is a weak race.
5	5 (5) (18/1 -13%) Mont Beuvray	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Mont Beuvray 18/1, Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 33/1). Off 6 months. Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Bumper and maiden hurdle form does not add up to much; handicap debut; others preferred.
2	2 (2) (28/1 -75%) Makaela's Choice	28 28/1(-75%)	(2) Makaela's Choice 28/1, Pulled up in novice hurdle (50/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 22 days ago, weakening. Up in trip. Hood back on. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Engaged 4.50 Thurles Saturday. Showed ability in a maiden hurdle at Galway; pulled up on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse.
7	7 (7) (50/1 -317%) Ballycairn	50 50/1(-317%)	(7) Ballycairn 50/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f in bumpers but well below that level over hurdles. 80/1, sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (23.7f, soft) 12 days ago. Off for well over two years and has shown nothing in two starts for his current trainer.
13	13 (13) (50/1 -150%) Land Jet	50 50/1(-150%)	(13) Land Jet 50/1, 28/1, ninth of 10 in handicap chase at Thurles (16.3f, soft) 33 days ago, never travelling well. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back up in trip. Coming here off a trio of poor performances and makes no appeal.
14	14 (14) (66/1 -32%) Without Exception	66 66/1(-32%)	(14) Without Exception 66/1, 66/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23f, heavy) 48 days ago, tailing off early final circuit. Poor performer over various trips and very hard to make a case for.

Golden Nugget improved on her handicap debut effort to finish a much better seventh at Navan in December, and she could progress again to get closer off an unchanged mark. However, the vote goes to STOCKDALE, who was dropped 1lb for her fifth at Navan last month. The eight-year-old filled the runner-up berth on her penultimate start over 2m1f here and she could be the one to beat if running to a similar level. Perfect Arch wasn't disgraced on his most recent outing at Fairyhouse and is capable of being in the mix.

JACENRY caught the eye on his course handicap debut over Christmas and is given a chance to build on that promise back from a short break. Pralognan has a low mark in relation to his Flat ability and would rate a big danger if the betting vibes are strong on his return to action. Stockdale has run solid races the last twice and also makes the shortlist.

He has nothing to recommend on hurdles form but the Flat form of PRALOGNAN puts him head and shoulders above these

15:27 Down Royal Conditions Chase 26f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (4/6 +33%) Classic Getaway	0.666667 4/6(+33%)	(3) Classic Getaway 4/6, Very smart chaser. Too much pressure placed on his jumping when pulled up in a big-field handicap at Dublin Racing Festival but in good form in small-field listed/Grade 3 events prior to that and he's a potential class act here. Let down by jumping at Leopardstown; definite chance on best form if staying this trip.
2	2 (2) (3/1 +67%) Adamantly Chosen	3 3/1(+67%)	(2) Adamantly Chosen 3/1, Smart chaser. 18/1, bit below form seventh of 25 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, soft) 42 days ago. Up in trip. Yet to fire this term, last season's novice form sees him in a better light.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +38%) Longhouse Poet	5 5/1(+38%)	(5) Longhouse Poet 5/1, C&D winner. Six wins from 23 NH runs. Possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap chase (40/1) at Gowran (25f, heavy) 52 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Last year's winner yet to hit form this season; cheekpieces added to usual tongue strap.
7	7 (7) (18/1 +28%) Now Where Or When	18 18/1(+28%)	(7) Now Where Or When 18/1, Useful chaser. Course winner. 16/1, might have needed the run when seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, soft) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Place shout if back to best. Tame enough comeback run at Leopardstown recently suggests he has a lot on his plate.
1	1 (1) (18/1 -200%) Roi Mage	18 18/1(-200%)	(1) Roi Mage 18/1, Useful chaser who has finished first and second in the last 2 runnings of this. Won in France in November and this a bit easier than the Tramore Grade 3 he contested on New Year's Day. 2022 winner and last year's second but this looks a strong renewal and concedes weight.

This looks like an ideal opportunity for the talented CLASSIC GETAWAY to get back to winning ways, having been nabbed late on in a Grade 3 at Tramore on New Year's Day. Going back up in trip at this track should suit following his Leopardstown no-show and he is preferred to stablemate Adamantly Chosen and last year's winner Longhouse Poet, who looks to be taking this in again as a prep for the Grand National.

CLASSIC GETAWAY's jumping couldn't cope with the hurly burly of a big-field handicap chase at Leopardstown last month but his form in listed/Grade 3 races prior to that makes him a standout here. The selection's stablemate Mr Incredible would rate the main danger if turning up here rather than Uttoxeter on Saturday. Roi Mage has a good record in this race and looks best of the rest.

Question marks surround many including CLASSIC GETAWAY, who needs to bounce back from a disappointing Leopardstown and prove he stays

16:02 Down Royal Maiden Chase 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (7/4 +30%) Neveradullmoment	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(2) Neveradullmoment 7/4, Fairly useful chaser. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap chase (7/2) at Navan (24f, heavy) 35 days ago. Not taken lightly. Hasn't convinced over longer trips but could prove a player now back in trip.
5	5 (5) (3/1 +14%) Bleu D'enfer	3 3/1(+14%)	(5) Bleu D'enfer 3/1, Fairly useful chaser. 4/11, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner novice hurdle at Ayr (19.5f, heavy) 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Likely type. Recent hurdles winner remains unexposed over fences so could well have more to offer.
9	9 (9) (13/2 +59%) St Denis's Well	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(9) St Denis's Well 13/2, Fair chaser. Course winner. 3 wins from 6 runs this season. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap chase (6/1) at Leopardstown (21.5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Won first two over fences of Jack Kennedy who is back aboard here; 6yo could improve.
1	1 (1) (7/1 -8%) So Des Flos	7 7/1(-8%)	(1) So Des Flos 7/1, Fairly useful chaser. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (28.3f, soft, 14/1) 14 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. One to consider. Didn't stay 3m5f latest; back in trip here and top-weight respected.
6	6 (6) (15/2 -15%) Donacheady Gale	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(6) Donacheady Gale 15/2, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. 14/1, third of 12 in novice chase at Thurles (20.8f, soft) on debut over fences 12 days ago. More required. Promising recent chase debut after long absence; should have more to offer.
4	4 (4) (15/2 +46%) Bella Bliss	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(4) Bella Bliss 15/2, Fairly useful chaser. 3 wins from 10 runs this season. 40/1, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 13 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others more persuasive. Recent comeback run not encouraging and wants better ground.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +0%) Look Dont Touch	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Look Dont Touch 16/1, Fair chaser. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Thurles (18.3f, soft, 16/1) 136 days ago. Place claims if he's ready to go. Absent since November and ground plenty soft so others preferred.

The suspicion is that NEVERADULLMOMENT was slightly stretched by the step up to 3m when finishing fourth at Navan last month. This step down in trip may see him end up in the winner's enclosure for his in-form stable. Joshua Webb has been running consistently well this season and, after an admirable second over 2m4f at Clonmel most recently, he can give the selection most to think about. The booking of Jack Kennedy aboard St Denis's Well catches the eye and he completes the shortlist.

JOSHUA WEBB hasn't won for some time but he sets the standard based on his latest second so he might be able to go one better at the possible expense of Bleu d'Enfer, who returns to chasing following victory over the smaller obstacles. Neveradullmoment is another one to consider.

This drop back in trip looks ideal for NEVERADULLMOMENT and he can get off the mark over fences for his in-form yard

16:37 Down Royal Conditions Chase 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (1/2 +25%) Romeo Magico	0.5 1/2(+25%)	(2) Romeo Magico 1/2, Point winner who made a successful start in hunters at Limerick over Christmas. Stepped up on that form when second of 10 at Thurles (24.6f, heavy) since. Down in trip. Can't oppose. Definitely the stand-out performer in this contest and very hard to oppose.
5	5 (5) (10/3 +33%) Neo King	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(5) Neo King 10/3, Successful on last of 3 starts in points in March 2023. Absent since ahead of hunter debut. The betting should guide. Won at third time of asking at Portrush a year ago and not seen since; best watched.
3	3 (3) (4/1 -45%) Global Assembly	4 4/1(-45%)	(3) Global Assembly 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in hunter chase (3/1) at Thurles (24.8f, soft) 12 days ago. Down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. New headgear combination tried here but likely to find one too good.
4	4 (4) (25/1 -108%) Hymie Weiss	25 25/1(-108%)	(4) Hymie Weiss 25/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Noel Meade earlier in his career. Has won only 1 of 7 starts in points since so not an obvious one to strike on hunter debut. Broke his duck in points at the seventh attempt at Tyrella; much more needed here.
1	1 (1) (66/1 -32%) Fr Gilligansvoyge	66 66/1(-32%)	(1) Fr Gilligansvoyge 66/1, Poor chaser. One win from 48 NH runs. 100/1, fifth of 6 in hunter chase at Gowran (25f, heavy) 8 days ago. Down in trip. Should come on for his run at Gowran last week but unlikely to be good enough.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Trainer David Christie has landed three of the previous four renewals of this contest and he is taken to enhance that record further with GLOBAL ASSEMBLY. The son of Kayf Tara wasn't at his best last time out, when finishing a remote third at Thurles, but he had posted two solid efforts in this sphere prior and may improve not just for the addition of first-time blinkers, but also dropping back in trip. Romeo Magico, who was on target at Limerick over the festive period, is feared most, while Neo King might prove to be best of the remainder.

This looks an excellent opportunity for ROMEO MAGICO to make it 2-3 in hunters. Global Assembly can follow him home.

Bigger targets are probably on the agenda for Limerick winner ROMEO MAGICO and he should have too many guns for Global Assembly

Successful on second of 2 starts in points (Nov 18). Has found an excellent opening for Rules debut. GBPG200,000 buy after points' win; could play a major role on rules debut.
1	1 (1) (3/1 +40%) Amanha	3 3/1(+40%)	(1) Amanha 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in bumper at Punchestown (16.2f, soft, 4/1) 62 days ago. Not dismissed. Authorized mare has improved from run to run; sure to be thereabouts.
10	10 (10) (15/2 -15%) Shannon Bank	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(10) Shannon Bank 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in bumper at Cork (16f, heavy, 4/1) 71 days ago. Could do with finding some improvement. Promising Galway debut last summer but hasn't bettered that in two starts since.

9	9 (9) (12/1 +52%) Remma	12 12/1(+52%)	(9) Remma 12/1, Ocovango mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 2m/19f hurdle winner Pot Committed. Dam (h105) bumper/2m hurdle winner (barely stayed 2¾m). Wears tongue strap. Fell sole start in points (Jan 28). Halfway faller in Cragmore point in January; headgear combination fitted for rules debut.
2	2 (2) (25/1 -285%) Disco Dancer	25 25/1(-285%)	(2) Disco Dancer 25/1, Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, tailed-off eighth of 10 to Only By Night in listed bumper at Navan (16f, heavy, 9/1) on NH debut 119 days ago. Should have more to offer. Time off since no show when stiff task on Navan debut in November; market informative.
4	4 (4) (25/1 +0%) Finnicky Filly	25 25/1(+0%)	(4) Finnicky Filly 25/1, Sageburg mare. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 2½m) Gala Ball. Newcomer worth a market check.

This represents the easiest task so far for AMANHA, who has had to contend with some smart sorts from the Willie Mullins stable on all three career outings. She has shaped well on each occasion, though, and the experience gained may be enough for her to see off costly newcomer Half Past Tipsy, who was a convincing winner of a point-to-point in November and begins life under Rules for leading connections. The well-bred Disco Dancer and Florance are capable of being in the mix as well.

HALF PAST TIPSY has been picked up by shrewd connections for a hefty sum after winning a point and this doesn't look like much of a race, so she's a confident choice to make a successful Rules debut. Shannon Bank has the best bumper form on show, so she's a danger along with Amanha.

A mares' bumper which may not take too much winning and perhaps points' winner HALF PAST TIPSY can make a winning debut under rules

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.
