13:18 Down Royal 17f - 19 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (2/1 +56%) Barley Lane	2 2/1(+56%)	(6) Barley Lane 2/1, Ran to form 15l third in a maiden hurdle at Naas most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts with cut; debut form franked, should find a race soon. Placed in big-field maidens at Punchestown and Naas, holds strong claims in this company.
2	13 2nd (13) (11/8 +0%) Powerful Paddy	1.375 11/8(+0%)	(13) Powerful Paddy 11/8, Very promising debut, needed run when second beaten 3l in a maiden hurdle at Thurles latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft, good; consistent in bumpers, debut form franked, big player. Promise in bumpers, likely to improve from hurdling/stable debut at Thurles, down in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (22/1 -238%) Ehteyat	22 22/1(-238%)	(3) Ehteyat 22/1, Ran to form when second beaten 8l in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown latest; effective 12-16f, acts on HY, G and AW; hugely progressive on Flat, unexposed over hurdles where in form. Three wins on the Flat, placed twice over hurdles, room for improvement in his jumping.
4	14 4th (14) (8/1 +56%) Takenasred	8 8/1(+56%)	(14) Takenasred 8/1, Ran to form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Naas latest; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft; form strong, consistent. Best effort when second here in November, held by Barley Lane on evidence of Naas clash.
5th	9 5th (9) (16/1 +27%) Dubhain	16 16/1(+27%)	(9) Dubhain 16/1, Very promising debut just tiring late on up in trip comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Ayr last time; in good form prior; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m; debut bumper form franked, more to come over hurdles down in trip. Point winner, third in bumpers here and at Ayr, raced too keenly on hurdling debut at Ayr.
6th	16 6th (16) (5/1 -11%) Combs	5 5/1(-11%)	(16) Combs 5/1, Paid price for trying to put it up to classy winner when fourth beaten 12l in a 4yo hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; in good form over hurdles, should be winning soon when dropped in class, opening mark potentially lenient. Consistent sort in his age-group and also ran well in a handicap, should be in the mix.
7th	8 7th (8) (66/1 0%) Codger's Rock	66 66/1(0%)	(8) Codger's Rock 66/1, Fascinating Rock gelding; full-brother to Fascinating Story, poor at 16f; dam fair from 6f to 7f at 2yo; rivals set good standard; best watched. Newcomer with 6f/7f winners close up in his pedigree, best watched.
8th	19 8th (19) (200/1 -60%) Whispering Hopes	200 200/1(-60%)	(19) Whispering Hopes 200/1, Needed run down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recent; off a short-break; effective around 2m1f on a sound surface; bounce back needed. Placed three times for Gordon Elliott, down the field over C&D on stable debut.
9th	12 9th (12) (100/1 0%) Ozark's Walk	100 100/1(0%)	(12) Ozark's Walk 100/1, Never in the race down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; needs to bounce back to level of bumper form. Runner-up in two of four starts in bumpers, down the field in two strong maiden hurdles.
10th	11 10th (11) (100/1 -257%) Keep Em Quite	100 100/1(-257%)	(11) Keep Em Quite 100/1, Promising debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time; should improve for slight step up in trip. Placed in points, well held by Ehteyat on running in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown.
11th	1 11th (1) (150/1 -127%) Arctic Craft	150 150/1(-127%)	(1) Arctic Craft 150/1, Did too much too soon on unsuitable ground well beaten in a bumper at Punchestown latest; returning from a break; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper winner but plenty more needed back over hurdles. Bumper winner last season, pulled up on only previous hurdle start, others preferred.
12th	20 12th (20) (12/1 -20%) Out Of Aces	12 12/1(-20%)	(20) Out Of Aces 12/1, Green in front, promising debut 9 1/4l fourth in a juvenile hurdle at Cork first-time out; top course trainer; effective 2m1f, acts on good; debut form boosted, should improve a little for that experience. Never far from the pace at Cork on debut, faded into fourth after bad mistake at the last.
13th	5 13th (5) (250/1 -150%) Imperial Fighter	250 250/1(-150%)	(5) Imperial Fighter 250/1, Never threatened beaten 4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; Flat winner out of form in that discipline; all to do. Two minor wins on the Flat in Britain, fit from action at Dundalk but makes no appeal.
14th	17 14th (17) (200/1 -60%) Mayor Of Maghera	200 200/1(-60%)	(17) Mayor Of Maghera 200/1, Ran to form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown most recent; effective at 8f on the Flat, 2m over hurdles; improvement needed, looks one for handicaps. Minor Flat winner, down the field in two maiden hurdle starts, well held by Ehteyat.
15th	4 15th (4) (100/1 -203%) Good Show	100 100/1(-203%)	(4) Good Show 100/1, Modest debut down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recent; flat winner's recent form is very patchy, has joined top yard and should have a future over hurdles. Flat winner in Britain, big price on Irish/hurdling debut at Thurles, unlikely to feature.
16th	18 16th (18) (500/1 -150%) Three Leaf Clover	500 500/1(-150%)	(18) Three Leaf Clover 500/1, Never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent; off a short-break; yet to show anything. Tailed off in her first two races, can be safely discounted.
17th	15 17th (15) (500/1 -233%) Thatsmyroadie	500 500/1(-233%)	(15) Thatsmyroadie 500/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; off a short-break; hard to make a case for. No sign of winning potential in two maiden hurdle outings at Fairyhouse in January.
18th	2 18th (2) (11/1 +8%) Carrig Padraig	11 11/1(+8%)	(2) Carrig Padraig 11/1, Yard won this last year; did it easily and improved down in grade when winning a Ladies bumper at Fairyhouse by 9l last time; effective 2m, acts on good, soft; steadily progressive in bumpers, form of win franked. Has joined Gavin Cromwell since showing improved form to win a bumper, could feature.
22	22 \|PU\| (22) (200/1 -150%) All For Brooke	200 200/1(-150%)	(22) All For Brooke 200/1, Below form down the field in a 4yo bumper at Punchestown most recent; returning from long layoff; tongue-tie first time; showed nothing in bumpers. Second reserve, finished at the back in two bumper outings last April, tongue-tie on now.

LTO Selection:

BARLEY LANE was an eye-catcher in second on hurdles debut at Punchestown. He kept the winning favourite honest in the closing stages and that horse followed up at Clonmel. Barley Lane wasn't as good when third on his next start in Naas, but that was a hot maiden. Powerful Paddy is an obvious threat after finishing runner-up in Thurles on stable debut for Willie Mullins. Out Of Aces ran well for a long way before dropping to fourth in an academy hurdle at Cork, while the 120-rated Combs has plenty of experience over flights. Carrig Padraig has switched to Gavin Cromwell after easily winning a ladies' bumper at Fairyhouse in October to add more depth to a good contest.

Placed in two big-field maidens a premier tracks, BARLEY LANE has the credentials to win a maiden of this standard

13:53 Down Royal 20f - 19 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (12/1 +14%) Pat's Legacy	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Pat's Legacy 12/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 18l in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on soft to heavy and yielding; should improve again now handicapping. Second to Needs Must in a maiden on penultimate start, may find that rival too strong.
2	16 2nd (16) (5/1 +75%) Accustomed	5 5/1(+75%)	(16) Accustomed 5/1, Promising Flat debut 4l third in the Challenge Race at Punchestown most recent run; cheekpieces first time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on yielding, good; needs to back up recent maiden improvement, may do better at 3m. Pleasing run at Leopardstown at Christmas when not beaten far in sixth in a 23-runner race.
3	17 3rd (17) (9/1 +36%) Fairlander	9 9/1(+36%)	(17) Fairlander 9/1, Improved up in trip when fourth beaten 12l in a maiden hurdle at Naas latest; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft; may want this bit further. Ran on to good effect at Naas in December, potentially interesting in his first handicap.
4	7 4th (7) (7/1 +0%) Good Option	7 7/1(+0%)	(7) Good Option 7/1, Improved up in trip and down in grade when second beaten 2l in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts with cut; progressing for top yard as trip increases. Second in a maiden at Fairyhouse, trainer's Ready For Road is arguably more appealing.
5th	5 5th (5) (12/1 -60%) Campbell Black	12 12/1(-60%)	(5) Campbell Black 12/1, Well treated on maiden form, improved suited by stiff test down in trip on handicap debut landing a handicap by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Thurles last time; usually held up; effective 2m-2m4f with cut ; may have bit more to offer in handicaps but mark demands it. Won by a neck for this rider at Thurles, longer trip may help him to sustain improvement.
6th	12 6th (12) (7/1 -8%) Youlita	7 7/1(-8%)	(12) Youlita 7/1, Tired late on ground softer than ideal, ran well to a point 25l third in a novice hurdle here most recent run; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on good; progressing over hurdles, more to come when stepped back up in trip. Well beaten in two outings in novice company in January, maiden win was on good ground.
7th	10 7th (10) (14/1 -40%) Irish Champ	14 14/1(-40%)	(10) Irish Champ 14/1, Outpaced, bit below form but did see out the trip well when second beaten 17l in a maiden hurdle at Ayr latest; effective 2 1/2m; point winner should be winning soon over hurdles with opening mark looking lenient. Leopardstown fourth represents stronger form than two placed efforts at Ayr, fair chance.
8th	3 8th (3) (17/2 +15%) Chichester Park	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(3) Chichester Park 17/2, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test 8l third in an auction hurdle at Leopardstown most recent run; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; may do better over this bit further. Satisfactory run in a novice event last time, this longer trip could help his cause.
9th	15 9th (15) (28/1 -56%) Cola Blaze	28 28/1(-56%)	(15) Cola Blaze 28/1, Improved but outclassed comfortably held in Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) at Fairyhouse last time; effective 2m, acts on soft; may need further, highly tried, wants drop in grade. Bumper winner in 2023; has been tried at a high level, this is much more realistic.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (9/1 +36%) Long Branch	9 9/1(+36%)	(1) Long Branch 9/1, Improved again benefitting from pace collapse 5 1/4l third in a novice hurdle at Thurles most recent run; off a short-break; effective around 2m-2m7f, acts on soft, good; progressive, could be well treated back in a handicap. Thurles novice winner is now 15lb higher than when third on his handicap debut, tough task.
10th	13 10th (13) (18/1 +45%) High Notions	18 18/1(+45%)	(13) High Notions 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Navan latest; off a short-break; effective 2m4f; form of maiden win had knocks, bit to prove in handicaps. Maiden hurdle winner, questions to answer after being pulled up in her first handicap.
11th	11 11th (11) (14/1 +22%) Mavetherave	14 14/1(+22%)	(11) Mavetherave 14/1, May have found ground too soft comfortably held in a novice hurdle here last time; off a short-break; acts on good, yielding to soft, effective 2m6f, looks strong stayer; consistent in maidens. Finished 6l behind Youlita when fifth here in January, may struggle to reverse that form.
12th	19 12th (19) (66/1 -100%) Mr Devlin	66 66/1(-100%)	(19) Mr Devlin 66/1, Below form on softer ground down the field in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown most recent; seems effective at 2m on yielding; needs more. Mid-division behind Campbell Black at Thurles, jumping was untidy at Leopardstown.
13th	2 13th (2) (14/1 -40%) Welluknow	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Welluknow 14/1, Improved up in trip when winning a novice hurdle at Fairyhouse by 4l last time; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on yielding and heavy; could be well treated back in a handicap. Bounced back from a disappointing run to win readily at Fairyhouse, more progress feasible.
14th	6 14th (6) (80/1 -300%) Jerrari	80 80/1(-300%)	(6) Jerrari 80/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Navan latest where unsuited by heavy ground; should come on for that; effective 2m on good; handicapper may have caught up. Won twice on good ground last summer, testing conditions were against him on a recent run.
15th	18 15th (18) (33/1 +34%) Hey Babbs	33 33/1(+34%)	(18) Hey Babbs 33/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; pulled up in a handicap chase at Thurles latest; effective at around 2 1/2m, acts on good; likely capable of better on spring ground. Seems to have lost her way over hurdles since a Wexford win last July, hard to fancy.
16th	4 16th (4) (10/1 -122%) Needs Must	10 10/1(-122%)	(4) Needs Must 10/1, Yard won this last year; fell in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest when looked a huge threat; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on heavy, good; more to come now handicapping. Poised to challenge when falling two out at Punchestown, one for the shortlist.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (25/1 -79%) Ready For Road	25 25/1(-79%)	(9) Ready For Road 25/1, Back to form on handicap debut comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective 2m-2m4f; debut form franked, can do better handicapping when stepped up in trip. Kept on for fifth over 2m at Fairyhouse, definite chance over this longer distance.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (33/1 -230%) Coco Masterpiece	33 33/1(-230%)	(14) Coco Masterpiece 33/1, Hampered when beaten down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas most recent; effective 2m, acts with cut; point and bumper winner has had plenty of issues, inconsistent in short career over hurdles. Point winner for this team, useful bumper form for Willie Mullins, not the force he was.

LTO Selection:

NEEDS MUST could pick up compensation after falling two out when still in with a chance at Punchestown. His maiden hurdle victory in Fairyhouse showed what he is capable of. Long Branch faced a stiff task in a novice hurdle at Thurles, but kept on well for third. On his previous start, he took a rated novice hurdle in Thurles and Sean Cleary-Farrell's 7lb claim has him on a mark he should be a factor off. Campbell Black landed a gamble by a neck in a ladies' handicap hurdle at Thurles last month and can go well off 6lb higher. Welluknow was victorious in two of his last three starts and is a trip-versatile sort who can get into the mix.

This longer trip may help CHICHESTER PARK, a point-to-point winner who has run creditably over 2m in his four attempts over hurdles.

14:28 Down Royal 20f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (11/1 +56%) Rockstown Girl	11 11/1(+56%)	(1) Rockstown Girl 11/1, Mistakes, never threatened, race may have come too soon well beaten in a handicap hurdle here latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m; inconsistent. Was going ok when brought down on penultimate, drops in grade, can't fully discount.
2	14 2nd (14) (7/2 +46%) Coppola	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(14) Coppola 7/2, Never in the race well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Naas latest; significant jockey booking; off a short-break; placed in points but poor so far under rules. Maiden pointer, disappointing on h'cap debut latest, new yard, needs to improve.
3	20 3rd (20) (16/5 +80%) Rajjnatin	3.2 16/5(+80%)	(20) Rajjnatin 16/5, Never threatened down in trip well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m; unreliable. Modest form in maidens and handicaps, best watched on debut for new yard unless backed.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 -80%) Ballyedward	18 18/1(-80%)	(5) Ballyedward 18/1, Ran to form on chase debut looking strong stayer 10l third in a handicap chase at Ayr most recent run; effective 2 1/2m; may yet have more to offer. Beaten 10l on h'cap chase debut at Ayr, 5lb lower for first h'cap hurdle, needs more.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 +65%) Saunton Surf	14 14/1(+65%)	(2) Saunton Surf 14/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Naas latest; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m; bit to prove for new yard, needs this step back up in trip. Hard to fancy on first two runs for this yard but drop in grade may help.
6th	10 6th (10) (20/1 +0%) Hello Johnjoe	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Hello Johnjoe 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Thurles latest where failed to stay 2m6f; in good form prior to that; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft; more to come in handicaps at 2 1/2m. Good run at Clonmel on penultimate, pulled up latest at Thurles, needs to rebound.
7th	19 7th (19) (5/1 +85%) Blossom De Mai	5 5/1(+85%)	(19) Blossom De Mai 5/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Thurles latest where found little for pressure; usually held up; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on any; form in and out; place claims off light weight. On long losing run, pulled up the last twice, needs a revival.
8th	11 8th (11) (15/2 +38%) Las Brisas Boy	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(11) Las Brisas Boy 15/2, Got racing too early when fourth beaten 29l in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest; effective 2m, acts on heavy; may do better handicapping. Weakened quickly on h'cap debut, dropped 1lb, can only watch upped in trip.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (10/1 +0%) Jumble Light	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Jumble Light 10/1, Outpaced, looked in need of further when fourth beaten 4l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; fair mark on maiden form, may do better over further. Not beaten far in second handicap on latest, step up in trip should suit, chance.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (13/2 +7%) Political Stance	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(8) Political Stance 13/2, When second beaten 20l in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; effective 2-3m, acts on heavy and good; likely has more to offer in handicaps, should come on for latest. Strip fitter for h'cap bow latest when beaten 20l, up in trip a plus, not without a chance.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (22/1 -57%) Monroes Hollow	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Monroes Hollow 22/1, Not find much having been hampered, needed run, ran well to a point beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle here last time; off a short-break; effective 2m; needs to build on reappearance. 0-7, strip fitter for okay run over shorter here latest, each-way shout upped in trip.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (33/1 -371%) Sunwalk	33 33/1(-371%)	(15) Sunwalk 33/1, Returned to form back over hurdles beaten 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark here last time; off a short-break; effective 2m; maiden over hurdles, not one to rely on building on latest revival. Narrowly denied over 2m1f here latest, not certain to back that up over this longer trip.
17	17 \|PU\| (17) (50/1 -25%) Mister Persistence	50 50/1(-25%)	(17) Mister Persistence 50/1, Mistakes, outclassed comfortably held in an auction hurdle at Leopardstown last time; effective 2 1/2m; regressive. 0-11 and yet to display any signs of winning potential, hard to make a case for.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (100/1 -203%) Annilogs Flame	100 100/1(-203%)	(12) Annilogs Flame 100/1, Outclassed down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent; pointer likely to need this bit further and more time under rules. Handicap debutante, glimmer of ability in one maiden, watch unless market speaks.

LTO Selection:

ASWELLASABENTLEY travelled well before finishing third over a shorter trip at this track in January. He's bred to appreciate further as a half-brother to Spinningayarn, who finished fifth in the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival last week. Jaynemax ran a cracker in second in a higher grade at Leopardstown this month, so his turn may not be far away. Sunwalk showed marked improvement to take the runner-up berth here over Christmas which gives him claims, while first-reserve Somersby Roost would merit a second glance, for an in-form stable, if getting a run.

A chance is taken on JUMBLE LIGHT who has been shaping like this longer trip will suit in recent starts

5th	7 5th (7) (20/1 +0%) Under Cover	20 20/1(+0%)	(7) Under Cover 20/1, Never put into the race ridden to see out the trip comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2-2 1/2m; could improve for more positive handling in handicaps. Minor promise in maidens, cheekpieces on for h'cap bow, check the market.
6th	12 6th (12) (20/1 +20%) Written In My Soul	20 20/1(+20%)	(12) Written In My Soul 20/1, Ran to form well beaten in an auction hurdle at Thurles latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m4f on a sound surface; likely one for handicaps, mark fair.

Best maiden hurdle run his last one, mark of 90 could be workable, interesting.

Pulled up on heavy when last seen, this ground more suitable, down in grade, not dismissed.
15th	6 15th (6) (66/1 -230%) Leitzel	66 66/1(-230%)	(6) Leitzel 66/1, Possibly not stay down the field in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan most recent; effective 2m, acts on good; inconsistent maiden. Flat winner, off since last July, likely best watched on first start for new stable.

No impact yet in handicaps, beaten 38l latest, new cheekpieces need to transform.

LTO Selection:

KANOG BAY disappointed at Thurles but, prior to that, won smartly at Fairyhouse and could bounce back to form. Rebel Cowgirl enjoyed herself off the front at Punchestown and similar tactics could see her involved once again. Pleasureofpressure has been placed on his last two starts and is on a mark he can be effective off. Others pitching for prize money include Gordon Elliott's Button Rock and Limerick-third Dolly Watkins.

Oliver McKiernan's horses are back in form and CHEMDAWG is taken to bounce back from a poor effort at Clonmel last time

3	3 (3) (8/13 +32%) Gerri Colombe	0.615385 8/13(+32%)	(3) Gerri Colombe 8/13, Winner of five G1s; yard won this last year; back to form when second to Grand National favourite beaten 5 1/2l in Bobbyjo Chase (Grade 3) at Fairyhouse latest; effective 3m, suited by cut; generally consistent at top level before lay off, running into form for tilt at National and holds fitness edge on main rival. Top-class performer in his prime, seems to be coming back to something like a peak of form.
2	2 (2) (13/8 -18%) Nick Rockett	1.625 13/8(-18%)	(2) Nick Rockett 13/8, Improved up in trip, handled the quicker ground when winning Grand National at Aintree by 2 1/2l last time; returning from long layoff; effective up to 4m2f, acts on heavy, good to soft; hugely progressive handicapper; big player if fit. Last season's Grand National winner, tough enough task against the race-fit Gerri Colombe.
1	1 (1) (12/1 +76%) Roi Mage	12 12/1(+76%)	(1) Roi Mage 12/1, Pulled up in Becher Handicap Chase at Aintree latest; returning from a break; effective 3m2f+, suited by cut; probably bit flattered by French Listed form; good record in this race including win in 2023 but this looks tougher renewal. Veteran won this in 2022, second in the two following years, asking a lot at the age of 14.
5	5 (5) (66/1 +56%) The Gradual Slope	66 66/1(+56%)	(5) The Gradual Slope 66/1, Hampered and outpaced early down the field in a handicap chase at Leopardstown most recent; effective 3m+; has tumbled in weights but unreliable. Ordinary form since 2024 Puchestown festival success, out of his depth in this company.

LTO Selection:

GERRI COLOMBE showed some of his back class when runner-up in the Bobbyjo at Fairyhouse last month. He returns to a venue where he is two from three and he ought to give Jack Kennedy a good spin. Nick Rockett needs this run to qualify for the Grand National at Aintree which he memorably landed last year. It is reasonable to assume that he will come on for the run as he hasn't been out since that famous Aintree success. Perceval Legallois looks clear next best in this small field.

It will be no disgrace if Grand National hero Nick Rockett\ fails to concede 7lb to \bGerri Colombe who has shown signs of a revival

C&D win on penultimate, ground not ideal latest, claims back at this venue.

Form of Haydock second franked, beaten over 3m latest, may rebound down in trip.

Sedgefield maiden hurdle winner, well beaten on chase debut latest, much more needed.
7	7 (7) (25/1 +24%) Desert Cave	25 25/1(+24%)	(7) Desert Cave 25/1, Unsuited by drop in trip on rules return comfortably held in a beginners chase chase at Thurles last time; effective 3m; one for handicaps over further in chases. Point winner, 1-12 over hurdles and rated 112, tailed off on stable bow latest, needs more.

LTO Selection:

Stuart Crawford's AYIKO is unexposed over fences and could have a bit more upside than others. His second place in a beginners' chase at Haydock in December was a creditable effort and that form gives him a big chance. Gordon Elliott's Slanagaibhgoleir won a beginners' chase over a similar trip at this venue over Christmas. The form of his third on handicap debut at Gowran Park last month received a boost when the winner followed up in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel. Elliott also saddles Lucky Lyreen, who has Jack Kennedy's assistance and is a double winner at Down Royal.

Preference is for AYIKO. The form of his Haydock second has been boosted and he should be suited by the drop back in trip

Beat a subsequent winner in a maiden in January, got tired when a remote third at Thurles.

6	6 (6) (6/1 +8%) Sledgehammer	6 6/1(+8%)	(6) Sledgehammer 6/1, Improved when winning a maiden point at Tyrella by a neck last time; form of point win nothing special but could have more to offer under rules. Narrow winner of a maiden point at Tyrella ten days ago, faces stiff task in this company.

Unplaced behind Ballyphilip here in 2024, later gained a seventh points win, absent since.

LTO Selection:

CAUSE FOR COMMENT's 12-length success in a Punchestown point-to-point last month gives him bright prospects of following up. That was his first run since runner-up spots in hunters chases at Downpatrick and Tipperary last year. Dora D'or won nicely in a Carrigarostig point-to-point in January and receives a stone from the selection with Lee Shanahan's claim factored in. Focus Point has been off for a long time, but is worth a market check given his excellent record in point-to-points.

Twice a beaten favourite last season CAUSE FOR COMMENT can be fancied to make amends with his confidence boosted by maiden point win

LTO Selection:

VIVA LAA VIDA has a smart pedigree and the assistance of a vastly experienced 7lb claimer for her debut. The selection is the second foal out of a Grade 2 winner and while she lacks experience, it is encouraging she represents a leading yard. Surfin Usa has been absent since finishing a 20-length second at Sligo in August 2024 and looks vulnerable on reappearance. Belladaball was supported on debut last December and can progress.

BELLADABALL ran a pleasing race on debut at Fairyhouse and with improvement likely to be forthcoming, she gets the nod

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.
