14:00 Down Royal Maiden 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -9%) Dutch Gold	3 3/1(-9%)	(1) Dutch Gold 3/1, Fairly useful colt. 9/2, creditable third of 12 in maiden at Limerick (8f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Surely has a race in him. 0-6; pedigree not entirely convincing as regards his prospects of staying this new trip..
2	2 2nd (2) (3.5/1 -27%) Hutton Glen	3.5 3.5/1(-27%)	(2) Hutton Glen 3.5/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Seventh of 14 in maiden (5/2) at Roscommon (10.3f, good to soft) 33 days ago, finding little. Disappointing last time but better than that and trainer persevering with 1m2f.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 +31%) The Great Kingdom	11 11/1(+31%)	(6) The Great Kingdom 11/1, Dream Ahead colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including very smart 1¼m-14.5f winner Galileo Chrome and useful 1½m winner White Caviar. Tenth of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (12.5f, good, 8/1) on debut 25 days ago. Yard having good spell. Likely to improve in time. Ended up well beaten at Tipperary (1m4f, good; 801) and looks the stable second string.
4	9 4th (9) (10/1 +17%) Dalliances	10 10/1(+17%)	(9) Dalliances 10/1, Twice-raced filly. 33/1, sixth of 17 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Positives to take from her sixth of 17 over 1m1f at Gowran, posting fair RPR of 75.
5th	4 5th (4) (2/1 +40%) Right Now	2 2/1(+40%)	(4) Right Now 2/1, Twice-raced colt. Second of 11 in maiden (10/3) at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft) on return 39 days ago, better placed than most. Trainer going well. Open to improvement. Probably improved a little second time out when a 2l runner-up at Sligo.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +52%) Siouxanne	12 12/1(+52%)	(11) Siouxanne 12/1, €29,000 yearling, Sioux Nation filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 6f-9f winner Just A Penny and winner up to 1m Cryptic. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Limerick (11.2f, soft, 16/1) on debut 63 days ago, needing stronger gallop. That is good form and she should improve. Decent debut when beaten under 8l by Wednesday's Queen's Vase fifth Etna Rosso.
7th	10 7th (10) (12/1 -50%) Night Glow	12 12/1(-50%)	(10) Night Glow 12/1, Karakontie filly. Sister to smart US Grade 3 8.5f winner Sole Volante and useful 2-y-o 7f/7.3f winner Corviglia, and half-sister to 1¼m winner Light of Joy. Lots to like on paper. From a fine family and interesting to see what the market makes of her.
8th	3 8th (3) (33/1 +0%) Lynskey	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Lynskey 33/1, Dawn Approach gelding. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Bathsheba Bay and 6f winner Furnace Creek. Dam 7.4f/8.4f winner. Half-brother to winners Bathsheba Bay (7f 2yo/1m2f Flat, RPR 93; 2m hurdle).

LTO Selection:

Dutch Gold can give it a good go from the front after an encouraging third over 1m at Limerick, although he didn't shape like this extra yardage would necessarily suit, while Hutton Glen disappointed when stepped up a similar trip latest. Conversely, RIGHT NOW improved on his introduction when staying on well for second over an extended 1m2f at Sligo and, representing the trainer who won this race last year, he can go one better with scope for further progress.

Not a strong maiden on paper and DUTCH GOLD might be able to get the job done stepped up in trip. Right Now can improve and could take a hand, while Cosmic Lady is an interesting newcomer.

HUTTON GLEN was below par from a bad draw last time but his previous efforts bring him right into it. Dutch Gold might not stay.

14:00 Down Royal Maiden 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:35 Down Royal Handicap 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (2.5/1 +44%) Picture Of A City	2.5 2.5/1(+44%)	(4) Picture Of A City 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/3, good second of 10 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Should go well again. Placed in two races won by horses on the upgrade, appears likely to play a leading part.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 -14%) Mobilise	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Mobilise 4/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (4/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 9 days ago, driven clear. Up in trip. Makes plenty of appeal. Looked ready to step up in trip when winning over 1m at Leopardstown. strong contender.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/1 -71%) Navy Beach	6 6/1(-71%)	(9) Navy Beach 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good fifth of 10 in handicap at Limerick (8f, good to soft, 10/1) 2 days ago, not knocked about. Deserves respect. Took a step in the right direction with staying-on fifth over 1m at Limerick ten days ago.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 -33%) Evening's Empire	12 12/1(-33%)	(8) Evening's Empire 12/1, 10/3, respectable 4¼ lengths third of 7 to Sea Spray in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 6 days ago, better placed than most. Can make presence felt. Third of seven behind Sea Spray at Gowran last week, may struggle to turn the tables.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 +29%) Our Boy Wes	10 10/1(+29%)	(5) Our Boy Wes 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 15 in maiden (14/1) at the Curragh (9f, soft). Off 8 months. Needs to improve on handicap/seasonal debut. Good run on second outing at two, failed to build on that in two starts for this stable.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -14%) Unification	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Unification 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in maiden (40/1) at Navan (10f, soft) 42 days ago. Yard in good form. Makes handicap debut. May do better now handicapping. Made a bright start to the season at Cork, not as good at Navan, others preferred..
7th	10 7th (10) (20/1 +9%) Spanish Saint	20 20/1(+9%)	(10) Spanish Saint 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft) 66 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has work to do. Not enough in his three maidens runs to inspire support, 2lb out of the handicap.
8th	6 8th (6) (8/1 +64%) Serotonin	8 8/1(+64%)	(6) Serotonin 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, excellent fifth of 11 in maiden at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft) 39 days ago, having run of race. On a fair mark for handicap debut, so capable of getting involved. Not a bad run in a maiden at Sligo on his most recent start, others make more appeal.
9th	1 9th (1) (4.5/1 -35%) Sea Spray	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(1) Sea Spray 4.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap (11/2) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) 6 days ago, pushed out. Stable is going well and he seems likely to put up another bold showing. Unplaced favourite at Killarney, left that form far behind when winning at Gowran, up 10lb.
10th	7 10th (7) (50/1 -79%) Sodapop	50 50/1(-79%)	(7) Sodapop 50/1, First run since leaving Jessica Dupont-Fahn when last of 9 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft, 12/1) on IRE debut 54 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Won a 7f claimer on ninth and final start in France, struggled on Irish debut, hooded now.

LTO Selection:

Mobilise broke through at Leopardstown on his second start in a handicap and he could improve again for the step up in trip so warrants plenty of respect. However, NAVY BEACH just shades the vote after catching the eye when staying on into fifth on his handicap bow at Limerick, and the Tony Martin-trained son of Galileo now rises in distance off 2lb lower. Last weekend's easy Gowran winner Sea Spray completes the shortlist.

MOBILISE took another step forward when scoring at Leopardstown last time and he's going on improving, so he gets the narrow vote to follow up with the longer trip unlikely to pose a problem. Picture of A City looks a danger on the back of a solid showing at Fairyhouse and Sea Spray is another one to consider.

There could be better to come from Leopardstown winner MOBILISE now that he goes beyond a mile for the first time

14:35 Down Royal Handicap 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:10 Down Royal Handicap 10f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	14 1st (14) (5/1 +29%) Pinot Gris	5 5/1(+29%)	(14) Pinot Gris 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent fourth of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Roscommon (12f, good to soft) 33 days ago, well drawn. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Engaged 7.55 Limerick Friday. Encouraging display when fourth on handicap debut at Roscommon, cheekpieces may help.
2	3 2nd (3) (5.5/1 +31%) Stormy Jenn	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(3) Stormy Jenn 5.5/1, 11/1, creditable fourth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good) 23 days ago. Shortlist material. Not much to choose between her and Gracesolution on running at Fairyhouse last time.
3	2 3rd (2) (5.5/1 +31%) Gracesolution	5.5 5.5/1(+31%)	(2) Gracesolution 5.5/1, 9/1, creditable fifth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good) 23 days ago, running on. Enters calculations. Off for three months before Fairyhouse fifth, may turn the tables on fourth Stormy Jenn.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 -71%) Barretstown	12 12/1(-71%)	(8) Barretstown 12/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in February. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 71 days ago. Won at Dundalk on his penultimate start, 0-19 record on turf is a source of concern.
5th	11 5th (11) (20/1 +39%) Baile Locha Riach	20 20/1(+39%)	(11) Baile Locha Riach 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Roscommon (12f, good to soft, 40/1) 33 days ago. Uphill task. Down the field at Roscommon in his first handicap, well held by Pinot Gros in that basis.
6th	12 6th (12) (12/1 +52%) Dreaming Princess	12 12/1(+52%)	(12) Dreaming Princess 12/1, 12/1, first run since leaving David Loughnane when last of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. AW winner in Britain, failed to do herself justice over 1m at Leopardstown on Irish debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 +36%) Pretty Soldier	16 16/1(+36%)	(1) Pretty Soldier 16/1, 15/10, won 7-runner handicap at Dusseldorf (10.4f, good to soft). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving C. Von Der Recke. Makes a belated hat-trick attempt having won his last two starts in Germany last summer.
8th	5 8th (5) (8.5/1 -21%) Arch Enemy	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(5) Arch Enemy 8.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Listowel (8f, good, 28/1) 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Merits consideration. Long-priced winner over 1m at Listowel, has won over 1m4f on AW so trip not a problem.
9th	13 9th (13) (10/1 +29%) Bronze River	10 10/1(+29%)	(13) Bronze River 10/1, Latest win at Dundalk in January. First run since leaving Denis Hogan when below form ninth of 15 in handicap (22/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 9 days ago. More effective on AW but possible he can improve from recent mid-field run at Leopardstown.
10th	6 10th (6) (12/1 -20%) Secret Spy	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Secret Spy 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (7/2) at Gowran (9.4f, good) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. No closer than ninth place in three handicaps starts, chance is not obvious, cheekpieces.
11th	4 11th (4) (80/1 -220%) Adapt To Dan	80 80/1(-220%)	(4) Adapt To Dan 80/1, Unreliable individual. 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 14 in claimer at Dundalk (10.7f), helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Off 8 months. Three of his last four outings in 2022 were in claimers, best watched on seasonal debut.
12th	10 12th (10) (25/1 -213%) Happaugue	25 25/1(-213%)	(10) Happaugue 25/1, 11/4, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f), clear of rest. Off 100 days. Hood on 1st time on the Flat. Two wins and three seconds at Dundalk, hard to be sure if he can reproduce best form now.
13th	7 13th (7) (6/1 -33%) Unterberg	6 6/1(-33%)	(7) Unterberg 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in maiden at Listowel (8f, good to soft, 5/1) 21 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Has run in maidens at up to 1m, may show improvement upped in trip for handicap debut.
14th	9 14th (9) (22/1 -83%) James Henry	22 22/1(-83%)	(9) James Henry 22/1, 28/1, first run since leaving Noel Meade when creditable second of 16 in handicap at Gowran (7f, soft) 66 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Good effort for Denis Hogan on seasonal debut at Gowran, could go close for his new yard.

LTO Selection:

ARCH ENEMY has only gone up 2lb following a staying-on success over a mile at Listowel earlier this month and further progression for Patrick Magee's four-year-old cannot be ruled out. Her two previous runs on the all-weather can be excused and she is fancied to get the better of Pretty Soldier, who makes his stable debut following some creditable runs in Germany last year. James Henry is another to consider.

STORMY JENN shaped as if back in form when fourth in a big field at Fairyhouse so could be ready to strike off a tempting mark. Arch Enemy and Gracesolution head the dangers.

The 7f trip looked too sharp for JAMES HENRY on his seasonal debut. His new trainer starts him off at a distance that may suit better.

15:10 Down Royal Handicap 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:45 Down Royal Handicap 10f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (16/1 -100%) Enfranchise	16 16/1(-100%)	(2) Enfranchise 16/1, Fourth of 5 in minor event hurdle (12/1) at Ballinrobe (18.3f, good) 26 days ago. Booking of Ryan a plus. Useful on the Flat, good on last Flat run. Needs a couple of these to falter. No doubts about fitness after hurdling runs, five wins for the Johnstons at up to 1m4f.
2	3 2nd (3) (4.5/1 -50%) Grecian Slipper	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(3) Grecian Slipper 4.5/1, 14¾ lengths ninth of 11 to Final Gesture in listed race (9/2) at Gowran (14f, good to soft) 52 days ago, possibly amiss. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she's shortlist material. Flopped in a 1m6f Listed last time, placed on only previous handicap run, solid chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 +50%) Celtic Crown	8 8/1(+50%)	(4) Celtic Crown 8/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap (18/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 16 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Curragh premier handicap winner over 1m last year, hard to make a case on this year's form.
4	8 4th (8) (5/1 +17%) Satin	5 5/1(+17%)	(8) Satin 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Successful at Listowel in June. 12/1, creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Place possibilities. Failed to build on Listowel maiden win when unplaced in first handicap, plenty to prove.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 +43%) Hazy Mehmory	4 4/1(+43%)	(5) Hazy Mehmory 4/1, C&D winner. 10/1, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good) 16 days ago. Looks competitive on form. C&D maiden winner, needs to improve on the form of two handicap attempts this term.
6th	7 6th (7) (7.5/1 +17%) Galactica	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(7) Galactica 7.5/1, Third of 12 in handicap at Fairyhouse (13.7f, good, 20/1) on Irish Flat debut 8 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down in trip and she's worth a second look. Useful Flat form in France, modest hurdles form, more like it last time back on the Flat.
7th	1 7th (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Timeless Soul	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(1) Timeless Soul 3.33/1, Hooded for 1st time, respectable ninth of 15 in handicap (6/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 28 days ago. Stable in good form and she's one to consider. Listed-placed in France, first of two 1m2f handicap starts in Ireland was promising.
8th	9 8th (9) (33/1 -65%) Fiver Friday	33 33/1(-65%)	(9) Fiver Friday 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in maiden (28/1) at Ayr (8f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. for this handicap debut and she has plenty to find on form. 12 lb 'wrong' at the weights. Has shown ability in maidens but faces a very stiff task from 12lb out of the handicap.
9th	6 9th (6) (12/1 -50%) Drummin Life	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) Drummin Life 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Fifth of 6 in minor event at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 13/2) 39 days ago. Back up in trip and visor on 1st time for this handicap debut. Uphill task. Soft-ground maiden winner at two, has been highly tried this season, visored now.

LTO Selection:

GRECIAN SLIPPER struggled to land a telling blow in Listed company over 1m6f at Gowran Park latest, but makes plenty of appeal now dropped in trip and class, with first-time cheekpieces applied. She won comfortably over this distance last year in a Navan maiden and is taken to get back on track. Of the others, Galactica is a player judged on her latest Fairyhouse third and Enfranchise is interesting back on the level.

GRECIAN SLIPPER was a creditable third on her return handicap debut at Thirsk and, if able to get back on track in first-time cheekpieces here, she could be the answer. Stablemate Timeless Soul is just about feared most, with Hazy Mehmory and Satin also likely to take a hand in the finish.

Most of these have questions to answer but perhaps GRECIAN SLIPPER can take advantage of a drop in class and trip

15:45 Down Royal Handicap 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:25 Down Royal Handicap 13f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (2.5/1 +17%) Tower Of London	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(1) Tower Of London 2.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 5-runner listed race at Leopardstown (12f, good, 11/10) 16 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Shamwari, driven out. Major player on handicap debut. Yard also saddles Hippodrome. Retains 99 mark after Listed win at Leopardstown, top middle-distance pedigree, respected.
2	6 2nd (6) (4.5/1 -29%) Ibrahimovic	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(6) Ibrahimovic 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 11 in minor event at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 11/4) 37 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap debut and he has to be of interest. Interesting runner, rider was aboard for Salisbury novice second, handicap debut, new trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (8.5/1 +39%) Hippodrome	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(3) Hippodrome 8.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 13 lengths last of 6 to Speirling Beag in Eyrefield Stakes (5/1) at Leopardstown (9f, soft), badly hampered. Off 8 months and improvement likely now handicapping. Soft-ground winner at two, stable probably has a better chance with Tower Of London.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 +30%) Young Ireland	14 14/1(+30%)	(2) Young Ireland 14/1, 6 lengths fourth of 6 to Drumroll in Gallinule Stakes (16/1) at the Curragh (10f, good) 27 days ago. Up in trip for this handicap debut and he merits respect. Took a long time to win a maiden, was 6lb higher than this after Group 2 third last season.
5th	9 5th (9) (5/1 +17%) Malbay Madness	5 5/1(+17%)	(9) Malbay Madness 5/1, First run since leaving E. D. Linehan when excellent second of 10 in handicap at Navan (10f, good to soft, 9/1) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Maintained last year's nursery progress with Navan second, fair chance he will stay.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/1 -6%) Dubawi Spectre	9 9/1(-6%)	(5) Dubawi Spectre 9/1, 11/2, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good to firm) 15 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Trainer going well and he should make his presence felt. First attempt at 1m4f did the trick bringing a breakthrough win, may remain competitive.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 -38%) Matt Connor	9 9/1(-38%)	(4) Matt Connor 9/1, Two wins from 3 runs this year. 3/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good) 23 days ago, driven out. Should stay this trip and he has to be respected in his bid to complete the hat-trick. Back-to-back wins at 1m2f, up total 13lb, not guaranteed to sustain progress at this trip.
8th	8 8th (8) (12/1 +0%) Letiza	12 12/1(+0%)	(8) Letiza 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 2/1, good second of 9 in maiden at Navan (10f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Up in trip now handicapping and she needs to raise her game. Second in three consecutive maidens, stays 1m2f, this trip could stretch her stamina.
9th	7 9th (7) (10/1 +17%) Pearl Of Australia	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Pearl Of Australia 10/1, Career best when winning 14-runner maiden (12/1) at Roscommon (10.3f, good to soft) 33 days ago, always holding on. Up in trip for this handicap debut and more needed. Made all for Roscommon maiden win, tackles an extra two furlongs now, form looks solid.

LTO Selection:

Hard to rule any of these unexposed types out in a contest that's likely to work out well. Michael Bell sends his first ever runner to the course so Ibrahimovic warrants respect off what looks a fair opening mark. Preference, however, is for recent Listed scorer TOWER OF LONDON. The son of Galileo improved for the step up to 1m4f at Leopardstown recently and he may have too much class for these rivals. Last-time-out winners Pearl Of Australia and Dubawi Spectre are others to note.

IBRAHIMOVIC has improved with each of his three starts to date and further progress is anticipated here now moving up in trip for this handicap debut. Michael Bell's representative gets the nod ahead of Tower of London, who landed a listed race in decisive fashion recently and he looks dangerous. Aidan O'Brien also saddles another appealing candidate in Hippodrome, while the hat-trick seeking Matt Connor and Dubawi Spectre are others to consider.

With Killian Hennessy taking off 7lb TOWER OF LONDON (nap) has a realistic chance of supplementing a Listed win gained at Leopardstown.

16:25 Down Royal Handicap 13f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:05 Down Royal Handicap 13f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (4.5/1 +31%) Londonofficecallin	4.5 4.5/1(+31%)	(10) Londonofficecallin 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 4/1, much improved when winning 25-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, good) 13 days ago, seeming to relish the return to making the running. Not discounted on this belated return to the level. Runaway winner of a handicap hurdle at Punchestown recently, potentially a handicap blot.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.25/1 +72%) Stoke The Fire	1.25 1.25/1(+72%)	(2) Stoke The Fire 1.25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8, fourth of 6 in nursery at Galway (7f, heavy) in autumn 2021. Subsequently gelded/missed last year but leading yard's runners rarely lack for fitness and he's an intriguing contender. Not seen since fourth of six in a 7f nursery in 2021, pedigree indicates he should stay.
3	5 3rd (5) (6.5/1 -86%) All In Peder	6.5 6.5/1(-86%)	(5) All In Peder 6.5/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (13/2) at Listowel (16.2f, good) 20 days ago, suited by increase in trip and ultimately doing it readily. Claims in hat-trick bid. Up 16lb from basement mark after wins at Gowran and Listowel, further progress is feasible.
4	9 4th (9) (8.5/1 +15%) Wild Shot	8.5 8.5/1(+15%)	(9) Wild Shot 8.5/1, C&D winner. Twelfth of 17 in handicap (7/1) at Tipperary (12.5f, good) 25 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap back on. Dropped to a handy mark. Engaged 7.55 Limerick Friday. Not at his best on AW this year, fair sixth at Gowran before a lesser display at Tipperary.
5th	13 5th (13) (33/1 +0%) Mater Matuta	33 33/1(+0%)	(13) Mater Matuta 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 4/1, creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.2f, good) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Won over jumps last year, recent second over fences was encouraging, no recent Flat form.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 -11%) Areana	10 10/1(-11%)	(1) Areana 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, very good second of 17 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, good) 25 days ago, faring best of those held up. Can make presence felt. Maiden form looked ordinary, promising display on handicap debut at Tipperary.
7th	12 7th (12) (33/1 -106%) Enquire Within	33 33/1(-106%)	(12) Enquire Within 33/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Creditable sixth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 8 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Has shaped quite well in two 1m4f handicaps in recent weeks, needs to find a little extra.
8th	11 8th (11) (22/1 +56%) Virtual Hug	22 22/1(+56%)	(11) Virtual Hug 22/1, Respectable fifth of 15 in handicap (18/1) at Fairyhouse (12f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Only win came in a maiden hurdle in 2021, 2 1/2l behind Enquire Within at Fairyhouse.
9th	3 9th (3) (40/1 +0%) Wajaaha	40 40/1(+0%)	(3) Wajaaha 40/1, Fifteenth of 19 in handicap (22/1) at Navan (13f, heavy) 63 days ago, slowly into stride and always behind. Cheekpieces back on. Form has taken a turn for the worse since second in a handicap hurdle at Naas in February.
10th	17 10th (17) (28/1 -12%) Universally	28 28/1(-12%)	(17) Universally 28/1, Twelfth of 18 in handicap at Fairyhouse (10f, good, 28/1) on IRE debut 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Reserve 3. Third reserve, fair form in France, 1m2f possibly inadequate at Fairyhouse on Irish debut.
11th	6 11th (6) (80/1 -100%) Monoxide	80 80/1(-100%)	(6) Monoxide 80/1, 28/1, seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 6 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing. Has been running over jumps, generally weak Flat form after AW win in Britain in 2018.
12th	7 12th (7) (4.5/1 -29%) Striking	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(7) Striking 4.5/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 4/6, didn't need to improve to win 17-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good) 14 days ago, kept up to work. Shortlist material. Wide-margin maiden hurdle winner last time, 10lb higher here than for Gowran win in April.

LTO Selection:

Willie Mullins' Stoke The Fire is back from an absence and the betting must be monitored, but YOUR HONOR developed into a decent juvenile hurdler and could be on a handy mark back on the level. Bloodless Punchestown scorer Londonofficecallin is also appealing now reverting to the Flat, while the hat-trick seeking All In Peder has to be feared. Areana found only one too strong on her handicap bow at Tipperary but must concede weight to some potentially well treated rivals.

AREANA marked herself down as one to be interested in when runner-up on handicap debut at Tipperary 25 days ago, faring best of those held up, and she could well be up to building on that effort given her low-mileage profile. Striking, returning from a successful spell over hurdles, and the hat-trick seeking All In Peder head up the dangers, with Stoke The Fire an intriguing runner back from a lengthy absence.

Almost four years since finishing in rear on his only nursery start LONDONOFFICECALLIN gets the vote to add to his recent hurdles win

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (0.73/1 +58%) Merlin Giant	0.73 0.73/1(+58%)	(4) Merlin Giant 0.73/1, Useful winner at 17f over hurdles. 14/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, good) 26 days ago. Profile on the Flat is a largely positive one and no surprise to see a better showing here. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Useful hurdler but below par in two runs this year; shown promise on the Flat.
2	2 2nd (2) (7.5/1 -88%) Impero	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(2) Impero 7.5/1, Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. 80/1, first run since leaving Thomas Cooper when good third of 7 in minor event at Killarney (14.2f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Capable of playing a part if putting it all together. Strong form claims if taking latest third at Killarney at face value.
3	6 3rd (6) (22/1 -10%) Wasthatok	22 22/1(-10%)	(6) Wasthatok 22/1, Fairly useful winner at 15f over hurdles. Twice-raced gelding on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 15f over hurdles. 6/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Fairyhouse (12f, good) 8 days ago. The winner of a maiden hurdle in April; has to improve on what he's shown in two Flat runs.
4	1 4th (1) (20/1 +0%) Barnacullia	20 20/1(+0%)	(1) Barnacullia 20/1, Useful jumps winner, making GB/IRE Flat debut. 10/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft) 76 days ago, shaken up before 5 out and never involved. Others appeal more for win purposes. Useful chaser who had been running well before pulling up in a strong handicap latest.
5th	7 5th (7) (3.33/1 +58%) Dubeyeracingcraic	3.33 3.33/1(+58%)	(7) Dubeyeracingcraic 3.33/1, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to very smart 1m-1¾m winner Sonnyboyliston and useful 1½m-15f winner Lot of Joy. Dam, 15f/2m winner, also won over hurdles. Makes appeal on paper and interesting what the market makes of her on debut. Good pedigree as a half-sister to smart stayers Lot Of Joy and Ebor winner Sonnyboyliston.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 -167%) Valkyrie Gray	16 16/1(-167%)	(10) Valkyrie Gray 16/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 16/1) on debut 39 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Stable in good form. May well do better. Nice pedigree but was easy to back at Killarney (1m; 16-1) and was beaten 10l.
7th	3 7th (3) (7.5/1 -88%) Knight Sleeper	7.5 7.5/1(-88%)	(3) Knight Sleeper 7.5/1, Once-raced gelding. Tongue strap on, third of 9 in maiden (10/1) at Sligo (10.4f, good to soft) on debut 39 days ago. Up in trip and entitled to build on that effort now. Kept on well to make the frame in a modest 1m2f maiden at Sligo last month.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 +39%) Spring Wind	20 20/1(+39%)	(9) Spring Wind 20/1, €7,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m/9f winner Tiz The Shot and useful 9.5f-1½m winner Green Fees. Dam 13f-1¾m winner. Related to winners from 1m to 1m4f, some useful; belated debut.
9th	8 9th (8) (150/1 -127%) Lough Alina	150 150/1(-127%)	(8) Lough Alina 150/1, Once-raced mare. 150/1 and hooded, last of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good to firm) on debut 15 days ago, lost all chance at start. Significantly up in trip. Always behind when 150-1 for a 7f maiden at Fairyhouse (also hooded); soon raised in trip.

LTO Selection:

KNIGHT SLEEPER shaped well on his first career outing when third at Sligo, and the manner in which the son of Golden Horn finished his race off suggested the extra yardage on this occasion would be right up his street. Merlin Giant sports cheekpieces for the first time and may appreciate reverting to the level after a couple of below-par hurdling displays. Impero arrives having outperformed market expectations at Killarney and a repeat of that performance gives him a chance.

MERLIN GIANT was below his best over hurdles on his most recent start but his profile on the Flat is a solid one and he could well be worth siding with to get back on track under Colin Keane. Impero and Knight Sleeper may emerge as the chief threats.

Impero is a big danger if taking his Killarney run at face value but MERLIN GIANT - the superior hurdler - is taken to prevail.

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.
