1	15 1st (15) (6/1 +70%) O'faolains Glory		6 6/1(+70%)																															(15) O'faolains Glory 6/1, Below form fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at this course (17.2f, heavy) 82 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Remote fourth here latest; cheekpieces now fitted and needs to improve greatly for them.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/2 -5%) Jacenry		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(6) Jacenry 7/2, Promising individual. 4/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at this course (20f, soft) 28 days ago. Remains of interest up 7 lb with furhter progress likely. Up 7lb for recent C&D win which looks fair; further improvement likely.
3	2 3rd (2) (16/1 -33%) Scott Lang		16 16/1(-33%)																															(2) Scott Lang 16/1, Fell in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good, 20/1). Off 6 months. Others more persuasive. Hasn't convinced in opening handicaps, latest when faller at Punchestown in October.
4	9 4th (9) (11/2 +8%) Stockdale		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(9) Stockdale 11/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form 20½ lengths fifth of 14 to Jacenry in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, soft, 10/3) 28 days ago. Enters calculations. Faded quite tamely over C&D behind Jacenry on latest.
5th	4 5th (4) (16/1 -33%) Tipp For Mac		16 16/1(-33%)																															(4) Tipp For Mac 16/1, 7/1, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.2f, soft) 90 days ago. Now 0-11 hurdling; handicapper relenting but remains opposable.
6th	7 6th (7) (25/1 +24%) Barryroe Madam		25 25/1(+24%)																															(7) Barryroe Madam 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy, 25/1) 126 days ago. Beaten a fair way in 2m4f maidens and handicap debut at Cork offered little.
7th	14 7th (14) (20/1 +50%) Noble Annys		20 20/1(+50%)																															(14) Noble Annys 20/1, Fifth of 6 in claiming hurdle at Catterick (15.7f, good to soft, 18/1) 39 days ago. Back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Wilf Storey. Tongue strap on 1st time. Some bumper promise but opposable on British hurdles form.
8th	8 8th (8) (9/1 -80%) Perfect Pupil		9 9/1(-80%)																															(8) Perfect Pupil 9/1, 25/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at this course (20f, soft) 28 days ago. Well-judged ride for recent C&D win; 7lb rise fair enough and should again be thereabouts.
9th	10 9th (10) (12/1 +25%) Portnacoo		12 12/1(+25%)																															(10) Portnacoo 12/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.6f, heavy, 11/1) 50 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Handicap form so far disappointing and still to convince over this trip.
10th	1 10th (1) (28/1 -100%) Malton Groove		28 28/1(-100%)																															(1) Malton Groove 28/1, Sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Navan (23.4f, heavy, 14/1) 22 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Plenty to find on form. Ex Gordon Elliott; not progressing, headgear added but remains opposable.
11th	11 11th (11) (150/1 -500%) Kalsman		150 150/1(-500%)																															(11) Kalsman 150/1, 250/1, below form thirteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at this course (16.9f, soft) 28 days ago. Hood back on. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Poor Flat maiden and only glimpse of form hurdling came on better ground last summer.
12th	5 12th (5) (33/1 -106%) Spatman De Cerisy		33 33/1(-106%)																															(5) Spatman De Cerisy 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, fifteenth of 22 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 99 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Potential improver. Opening mark looks on the high side but unexposed.
13th	13 13th (13) (25/1 +24%) Joe's Turn		25 25/1(+24%)																															(13) Joe's Turn 25/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22.3f, heavy, 16/1) 35 days ago, behind when pulled up after 3 out. Stamina test too much at Limerick latest so drop back to 2m4f should suit.
14th	12 14th (12) (14/1 +13%) Glenabo Bridge		14 14/1(+13%)																															(12) Glenabo Bridge 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in November. 28/1, bit below form eleventh of 24 in handicap hurdle at Naas (18.8f, soft) 10 days ago, barely adequate test. Blinkers back on. Veteran a C&D winner and now down to last winning mark so one to consider.
15th	3 15th (3) (5/1 -82%) Gamigin		5 5/1(-82%)																															(3) Gamigin 5/1, Course winner. Latest win in hurdle here in December. 10/3, creditable third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 42 days ago. Back up in trip. Shortlist material. Progressive over 2m this term but not sure if this return to 2m4f will suit.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

GAMIGIN is versatile regarding the trip and, with ground conditions not expected to cause any issues, there are solid reasons to expect another big run form Noel Kelly's six-year-old. Jacenry finished sixth behind the selection over the extended two miles here at the Christmas fixture but, having returned to win over this course and distance last month, he rates a strong contender with his stamina now proven. Perfect Pupil and Portnacoo are a couple of others with solid each-way claims.

There's likely more to come from last month's course scorer JACENRY so a 7 lb rise may not prevent him following up. Noel Kelly's Gamagin is another who has tasted success here this winter and is second choice ahead of Stockdale and Spatman de Cerisy, a potential improver in handicaps for Paul Nolan.

Not too many appeal here and perhaps an opportunity for the still unexposed JACENRY to follow up on last month's C&D success

Significantly up in trip. Others have achieved more. Needs to jump better but isn't one to discount given his connections..
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 -38%) Annaghbeg		9 9/1(-38%)																															(2) Annaghbeg 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/4, below form fourth of 17 in novice hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, heavy) 61 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. May do better now sent handicapping. Well below form when favourite at Ayr last time, beaten 30l; needs his best.
3	4 3rd (4) (10/1 -54%) San Martino		10 10/1(-54%)																															(4) San Martino 10/1, Good fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 50/1) 13 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Respected. Solid fourth back to 2m last time but these conditions will test his stamina up in trip.
4	7 4th (7) (13/2 -117%) Pipers Boreen		6.5 13/2(-117%)																															(7) Pipers Boreen 13/2, Winner in hurdle at Punchestown in February. Creditable second of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 41 days ago. Shortlist material. A 9l runner-up at Leopardstown over 2m4f last time; 1lb rise but longer trip will suit.
5th	8 5th (8) (14/1 +0%) Squire Ohara		14 14/1(+0%)																															(8) Squire Ohara 14/1, 40/1, pulled up in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 155 days ago, pulled up end of back straight. Switches from chase to hurdles. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Market check advised on handicap debut. Tongue-tie on for handicap debut after a break; worth a market check.
6th	6 6th (6) (7/1 -133%) Dgalwaygallivantor		7 7/1(-133%)																															(6) Dgalwaygallivantor 7/1, Winner in hurdle at Cork in November. Creditable second of 15 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Gowran (20f, heavy) 36 days ago. Fancied to give another good account. Solid runs in defeat over 2m4f last twice; creeping up the handicap but on the shortlist.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 -57%) Bestaline		11 11/1(-57%)																															(3) Bestaline 11/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 41 days ago, going in snatches. Claims on best form. Fine third at Gowran two starts ago but has to bounce back from a poor Leopardstown run.
1	1 |F| (1) (12/1 -60%) El Capitaine		12 12/1(-60%)																															(1) El Capitaine 12/1, 10/1, first run since leaving Michael Lynch when last of 9 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 43 days ago, finding little. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Well beaten on handicap debut for this yard last month but should have improved from that.

Dgalwaygallivantor has picked up minor money twice since breaking through at Cork and should run his race once more. PIPERS BOREEN has been much improved since going handicapping and teaming up with Conor McNamara, though, and Shane Nolan's mare could still have more to offer judging by her Leopardstown second. Annaghbeg is interesting now he steps out of maiden/novice company for the first time, with similar remarks applying to Squire Ohara.

PIPERS BOREEN is going the right way over hurdles and can register her second success. Dgalwaygallivantor and San Martino should also go well.

The proven stamina of PIPERS BOREEN can prove decisive and she is just 1lb higher than when a running on second at Leopardstown.

Tankardstown Diva beat Ballycairn (sixth) when denied by the smallest of margins over 2m4f here last month and the extra distance could unlock further improvement, so she ought to go close. However, preference is for A GREAT BUZZ, who is only 1lb higher than when an encouraging third at Cork. Robert Tyner's five-year-old makes only her third handicap start and she could progress to shed her maiden tag. Doonbeg Don and Mahler Appeal are others to watch out for.

A GREAT BUZZ shaped well back from a break at Cork last month and there's a race in her from a mark in the 90s on that evidence. There should be more to come from Henry de Bromhead's Doonbeg Don in handicaps so he's second choice ahead of Mahler Appeal and Tankardstown Diva.

The well-bred A GREAT BUZZ looks to be getting the hang of things now handicapping and she can improve on her third place at Cork.

NOW IS THE HOUR found a decent amount of improvement earlier in the year, getting off the mark over hurdles at Fairyhouse before following up in a Grade 2 at Haydock. The seven-year-old has since made his chasing debut, finishing second over an inadequate 2m at Cork, and stepping back up in trip is likely to see him go one better. Duffle Coat enters calculations based on his runner-up displays at Punchestown and Gowran, while others capable of being in the mix include Extrapolation and Dreal Deal.

NOW IS THE HOUR is the pick on hurdling form and shaped encouragingly when second at Cork on chasing debut. With the return to this trip in his favour, he's preferred to Duffle Coat, with Dreal Dreal a potential player if he can return to form back over fences.

Grade 2-winning novice hurdle winner NOW IS THE HOUR (nap) should be able to go one better than on chasing debut at Cork.

Seventh of 9 in handicap chase (gambled-on 2/1) at this course (16.4f, soft) 156 days ago, bled. Up in trip. Blood in nostrils when disappointing favourite here in November and has had a break since.
9th	1 9th (1) (40/1 +20%) Welsh Saint		40 40/1(+20%)																															(1) Welsh Saint 40/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. 66/1, ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22f, heavy) 63 days ago. Losing run since 2020; has shown nothing in four outings since November.

Pulled up in handicap hurdle (28/1) at this C&D (soft) 28 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on.

Can go well again. Last month's 3m Limerick winner now 7lb higher and drop in trip may not be ideal.
12th	7 12th (7) (10/1 +50%) Soldier Of Honour		10 10/1(+50%)																															(7) Soldier Of Honour 10/1, 28/1, respectable 16¼ lengths fourth of 8 to He Fitz In in handicap chase at Limerick (24.6f, heavy) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Modest fourth behind He Fitz In at Leopardstown latest so plenty more needed here.
13th	6 13th (6) (11/1 +8%) Joy Of Life		11 11/1(+8%)																															(6) Joy Of Life 11/1, 8/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (28.3f, soft) 42 days ago.

Makes handicap chase debut and can do better. Interesting. Unexposed and worth a market check here on handicap debut.
5	5 |PU| (5) (22/1 -144%) Dinoland		22 22/1(-144%)																															(5) Dinoland 22/1, Off 7 months and 33/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 28 days ago.

The value may lie with TANGENTAL, who went well for a long way over further at Navan before being slightly hampered and carried right three out. The eight-year-old may have weakened into fourth on that occasion, but he was well backed and this could be the day to catch him over a more suitable distance. Twice a winner over the smaller obstacles this season, Don't Talk returns to fences off a 15lb lower mark than his timber figure so must enter calculations, along with recent Limerick scorer He Fitz In.

TANGENTAL offered more over fences at Navan when last seen 3 months ago and could be the way to go in a thin handicap. Hunt Museum is interesting now handicapping for his top owner, while Limerick-winner He Fitz In can go well again.

With a recent hurdles run under his belt it could pay to take a chance on DON'T TALK off a 15lb lower chase mark

In open event, marginal preference is for ATACANTER, who was a close second off a 2lb lower mark over an extended 3m at Limerick a few weeks ago. The Abbey ran well when fourth in Listed company at Leopardstown on his most recent outing and that form suggests that he may be the main threat to the selection, although Routine Excellence and Marronstown could also go well.

ATACANTER came clear of the rest when second at Limerick 3 weeks ago and, with a performance of similar merit, he might well be able to go one better. Routine Excellence and The Abbey could pose the main threats.

A C&D winner who ran a cracker on his return at Leopardstown, THE ABBEY can improve enough from that run to score.

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.
