The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(7) The Yellow Clay 4/11, Very smart form in bumpers. Player now hurdling significantly up in trip for top yard that targets this (1 of 2 runners). Top bumper horse; potentially exciting recruit to hurdling; likely to take the beating.

2nd (4) (125/1 -25%) Healdsburg
125
125/1(-25%)
(4) Healdsburg 125/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 8/1, sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16.3f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Well beaten in a Limerick maiden hurdle last time; others far more likely.

3rd (3) (22/1 +89%) Garnacho
22
22/1(+89%)
(3) Garnacho 22/1, Fair hurdler. Below form seventh of 15 in novice hurdle (9/1) at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Disappointing last twice and will do better in handicaps in due course.

4th (9) (80/1 -60%) Interchangeable
80
80/1(-60%)
(9) Interchangeable 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, thirteenth of 17 in bumper at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Hooded for 1st time. Makes little appeal on the evidence of two bumpers; tried in a hood here.

5th (5) (12/1 +40%) John The Spark
12
12/1(+40%)
(5) John The Spark 12/1, Modest hurdler. 4/1, creditable second of 9 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (18.5f, good) 20 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Back up in distance now and not ruled out. Maiden hurdle form does leave him with something to find but the trip will suit.
6th

6th (1) (28/1 -12%) Augusta George
28
28/1(-12%)
(1) Augusta George 28/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in bumper at Downpatrick in August. 5/1, second of 5 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago, better placed than most. Well in the mix. Runner-up in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last month; this looks much more difficult.
7th

7th (6) (10/3 -48%) My Lyka
3.333333
10/3(-48%)
(6) My Lyka 10/3, Useful Flat winner. Promising individual (shaped well on hurdles debut). 50/1, twenty ninth of 30 in handicap at the Curragh (16.8f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Solid claims. Very interesting on his one run over hurdles and the step up in trip could suit.
THE YELLOW CLAY was far from disgraced when finishing sixth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham on his penultimate start, before finding only a classy sort too good in a Punchestown Grade 1 on his most recent start. Now stepping up in trip on his hurdles debut, he looks a novice hurdler to keep on side. Stable companion Wingmen impressed when winning a Punchestown bumper in May and he merits respect on his debut over flights, while My Lyka can also go well.
Willie Mullins' MY LYKA is the clear pick of those with experience and fancied to get off the mark in this sphere. Gordon Elliott saddles two interesting hurdling newcomers though in the shape of Wingmen (second choice) and The Yellow Clay and they should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way.
Gordon Elliott's challenge looks a daunting one and good bumper performer THE YELLOW CLAY looks to possess most of the guns
12:25 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 22f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(6) Kelly's Birr 11/2, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 15 in novice chase at Tramore (21.8f, good to soft) on debut over fences 154 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Hard to assess but the very fact that Elliott is running her at this meeting is a positive.

1st (4) (10/1 +17%) Paddy's Milestone
10
10/1(+17%)
(4) Paddy's Milestone 10/1, 17/2, below form eleventh of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Up in trip. Has to be taken seriously if shrugging off latest effort. Good maiden form; steps up in trip here but capable of a bold showing if he stays.

10
2nd (10) (16/1 +20%) Schiehallion
16
16/1(+20%)
(10) Schiehallion 16/1, 11/2, fell 3rd in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. No impression of late although did fall early in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle last month.

3rd (3) (7/1 +18%) Emily In Paris
7
7/1(+18%)
(3) Emily In Paris 7/1, 16/1, creditable third of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Can give a good account. Stays well and acts on good ground; well capable of getting into the shake-up.
4
16
4th (16) (12/1 +52%) Container Madness
12
12/1(+52%)
(16) Container Madness 12/1, 16/1, good fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts. Up in trip here with a good 5lb claimer on board and has to be respected.
5th
12
5th (12) (7/2 +53%) Brandt
3.5
7/2(+53%)
(12) Brandt 7/2, Winner in chase at Roscommon in August. 5/1, clear when unseated rider last in handicap chase at Sligo (21.1f, good) 30 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and merits serious consideration off a reduced mark here. Hurdles mark is now 13lb lower than chase rating and makes plenty of appeal here.
6th
9
6th (9) (14/1 -40%) Mullaghmore Wave
14
14/1(-40%)
(9) Mullaghmore Wave 14/1, Creditable second of 9 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.7f, good to soft, 9/2) 21 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Visored for 1st time. New headgear tried here on her return to hurdles; respected despite being 2lb higher.
7th
7
7th (7) (66/1 -164%) Falak
66
66/1(-164%)
(7) Falak 66/1, 20/1, first run since leaving Miss Tracy M. Reilly when eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16.3f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Uphill task. Twice a winner over hurdles but little to be encouraged by anything he has done this year.
8th
1
8th (1) (10/1 +17%) Sammy Smart
10
10/1(+17%)
(1) Sammy Smart 10/1, 16/1, creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (22.8f, good) 17 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Ought to be in the shake-up. Addition of a tongue tie could help him get home over this extra furlong; each-way chance.
9th
5
9th (5) (9/1 -13%) Tilloughna
9
9/1(-13%)
(5) Tilloughna 9/1, Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in July. Creditable fourth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, good to soft, 16/1) 12 days ago. Trainer going well. Likely to continue in form. Ballinrobe winner ran well at Limerick; trip and ground are fine and she should have a say.
13
13
|F| (13) (10/1 +50%) Il Silenzio
10
10/1(+50%)
(13) Il Silenzio 10/1, 12/1, good 12 lengths fourth of 12 to Jimli's Cave in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Plenty to find on form however. Worth a market check and could well improve enough to have an each-way chance.
10th
14
10th (14) (14/1 +44%) Speranza Wilde
14
14/1(+44%)
(14) Speranza Wilde 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, solid sixth of 18 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Limerick (21f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Respected. New headgear tried for her handicap debut and could outrun her likely odds.
11th
8
11th (8) (50/1 +0%) Mon Storm
50
50/1(+0%)
(8) Mon Storm 50/1, C&D winner. Fourth of 5 in minor event hurdle at this course (24f, good, 100/1) 63 days ago so more is required. Veteran has been well beaten in two starts since returning from two years off; no appeal.
11
11
|PU| (11) (9/2 -13%) Jimli's Cave
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(11) Jimli's Cave 9/2, 17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago, always holding on. Likely player. Up 7lb for first win over hurdles on latest start at Downpatrick; should go well again.
JIMLI'S CAVE accounted for Il Silenzio (fourth) when scoring in decisive fashion over 2m6f at Downpatrick on his latest outing and he has a 7lb higher mark to contend with. Considering the manner of that success, he could prove very hard to beat again. Mullaghmore Wave has been thereabouts on each of her last two starts over fences and has to be respected on her return to this sphere, while Emily In Paris is another to keep an eye on.
BRANDT has been much improved over fences since joining his current yard and is fancied to translate that form to hurdles here and strike. Downpatrick scorer Jimli's Cave heads the list of dangers, although a case can also be made for Tilloughna, Paddy's Milestone and Sammy Smart in this very open handicap.
The one to beat is likely to be BRANDT who would have collected over fences at Sligo last month but for a last-fence unseat
13:00 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(5) Sansrisk 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 12-runner novice hurdle (2/5) at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 25 days ago. Worth a chance at this level. Useful form overall; well worth her place in the field and could get into the shake-up.
2
1
2nd (1) (4/1 +50%) Royal Hollow
4
4/1(+50%)
(1) Royal Hollow 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. 11/10, respectable second of 5 in minor event hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Should be thereabouts. Has a bit to find to be competitive here giving weight all round but should run her race.
3
8
3rd (8) (18/1 -13%) Stormalong
18
18/1(-13%)
(8) Stormalong 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11½ lengths sixth of 7 to Jetara in listed mares event (10/1) at Limerick (22.8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Enters calculations. Big ask for her back at 2m here but consistent and likely to run her race.
4
2
4th (2) (14/1 +50%) Amanha
14
14/1(+50%)
(2) Amanha 14/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Roscommon in August. 28/1, third of 5 in minor event hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Booking of Flanagan a plus. Roscommon winner held by Royal Hollow twice since; likely to struggle here.
5th
6
5th (6) (11/4 -10%) Savante
2.75
11/4(-10%)
(6) Savante 11/4, Promising type. 2 wins from 3 runs this season. Won 11-runner novice hurdle (8/11) at Tramore (20.3f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 22 days ago, forging clear. More to come and looks a definite player. Connections won this with Impervious three years ago; has the potential to improve.
6th
4
6th (4) (7/2 +30%) Mystical Goddess
3.5
7/2(+30%)
(4) Mystical Goddess 7/2, Won 10-runner novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.8f, good, 10/3) on NH debut 29 days ago, comfortably. Should improve from that impressive start but this is a big ask. Ready winner on her hurdles debut at Clonmel last month; this is a big step up.
7th
9
7th (9) (14/1 +30%) Yokkell
14
14/1(+30%)
(9) Yokkell 14/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. C&D winner. Hooded for 1st time, second of 9 in novice hurdle (5/6) at Kelso (16.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. More required in this company. Bolted up in C&D maiden; two defeats at odds-on in Britain are more difficult to assess.
8th
3
8th (3) (20/1 +20%) Miss Dishy
20
20/1(+20%)
(3) Miss Dishy 20/1, Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (16.3f, good to soft, 11/4) 12 days ago, pushed out. Uphill task. Readily landed an ordinary mares contest at Limerick two weeks ago; much more needed here.
In a wide-open contest where cases can be made for the majority of the field, it may be worth siding with SPECULATRIX, as Gordon Elliott looks to win this race for the third time in six years. She looked sure to win before falling at the last on her hurdling debut at Killarney last month and could well make amends here. Mystical Goddess won as she pleased at Clonmel and may prove her biggest rival, followed by Sansrisk, Miss Dishy and Savante, who could all have a say in the finish.
Bumper winner SAVANTE made an emphatic start to her hurdling career at Tramore recently and can find enough improvement to make an immediate breakthrough at Grade 3 level. Royal Hollow sets the standard and Speculatrix can get involved if she's recovered from a nasty fall (when looking set to win) on hurdling debut.
The Cullentra runner SPECULATRIX(nap) would have bolted up on her hurdles bow at Killarney but for falling at the last and can win this
13:30 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) Brighterdaysahead 4/5, Useful hurdler. C&D winner. 6/5, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree (20f, good to soft) by 7½ lengths from Staffordshire Knot, plenty in hand. Remains with potential. Impressively beat geldings in 2m4f Grade 1 at Aintree; travels well 2m1f should be fine.
2
4
2nd (4) (13/2 -117%) King Of Kingsfield
6.5
13/2(-117%)
(4) King Of Kingsfield 13/2, Useful hurdler. Creditable 11½ lengths fourth of 9 to Mystical Power in Champion Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft, 28/1), unable to sustain effort. Brighterdaysahead appears to be the stable No 1 but he feared nonetheless. Course bumper winner had classy novice form; fair fourth in Punchestown Grade 1 in April.
3
1
3rd (1) (7/4 +7%) Daddy Long Legs
1.75
7/4(+7%)
(1) Daddy Long Legs 7/4, Smart hurdler. Career best when winning 5-runner Horse & Jockey Hotel Hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, good to soft, evens) 26 days ago by 16 lengths from Smooth Tom. The one to beat. Made all to trounce Smooth Tom on similar ground in Tipperary Grade 3 last time.
4
6
4th (6) (66/1 +0%) Miss Fourie
66
66/1(+0%)
(6) Miss Fourie 66/1, Unreliable type. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle (17/2) at Killarney (17f, soft) 71 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Much more on her plate here. Bolted up in Killarney handicap but that was off mark of only 113; very stiff task here.
5
5
|F| (5) (250/1 -25%) Breagagh
250
250/1(-25%)
(5) Breagagh 250/1, Modest hurdler. Creditable seventh of 19 in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft, 20/1) 9 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Creditable on last hurdle outing. Uphill task. Only making up the numbers and has no chance in this company.

|U| (3) (33/1 -32%) Smooth Tom
33
33/1(-32%)
(3) Smooth Tom 33/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Successful on the Flat in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) 10 days ago but he was beaten 16 lengths by Daddy Long Legs on latest start in this sphere at Tipperary and he's just 3 lb better off with that rival now. Flat winner at the Curragh since he was trounced by Daddy Long Legs at Tipperary.
Although official ratings would suggest Daddy Long Legs, an emphatic winner at Tipperary last month, is the one to beat, BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD can prove too strong. Six from seven so far, Gordon Elliott's mare put the boys in their place when routing the field in the Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April. Her only defeat came at the Cheltenham Festival the previous month and she will take all the beating if returning on song. Stablemate King Of Kingsfield appeals most of the remainder.
BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD is taken to enhance Gordon Elliott's fine recent record in this Grade 3 contest, a race he has saddled the winner of three times in the last four years. The 5-y-o has tasted defeat just once from seven career starts and she looked very good indeed when landing a Grade 1 at the Aintree Grand National meeting. Daddy Long Legs thumped Smooth Tom and three others in a Tipperary Grade 3 last month and he is the main danger ahead of the selection's stablemate King of Kingsfield.
Impressive against geldings in a Grade 1 at Aintree in April, BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD can make a winning start to her campaign
14:05 Down Royal Conditions Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(6) Tuckmill 9/2, Latest win in hurdle at Wexford in August. Bit below form sixth of 10 in novice chase at Tramore (20.4f, good to soft, 11/2) 22 days ago. Blinkers back on for handicap debut in this sphere. 10lb pull with his Downpatrick conqueror Someone's Wish and 2m4f was too far last time.
2
5
2nd (5) (2/1 0%) Someone's Wish
2
2/1(0%)
(5) Someone's Wish 2/1, Winner of a maiden chase at Downpatrick in September. 9/4, third of 5 in a Cork novice (17.6f, good) 19 days ago. Big player on handicap debut in this sphere. Beat Tuckmill on chase debut and beaten less than a length in rated novice at Cork since.

3rd (3) (15/8 +58%) If You Let Me
1.875
15/8(+58%)
(3) If You Let Me 15/8, Fairly useful 2m winner over hurdles. Good second of 11 in maiden at Navan (14f, good to soft, 25/1) 9 days ago, closing all way to line. Switches from Flat to chase and he's open to improvement. Was behind stablemate Hypotenus at Sligo but stable jockey prefers to ride him.
4
7
4th (7) (28/1 +15%) Ricky Langford
28
28/1(+15%)
(7) Ricky Langford 28/1, Unreliable sort. Latest win in chase at Downpatrick in August. 33/1, ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good) 17 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Gained third chase win at Downpatrick in August but well beaten since; 2lb wrong.
5th
4
5th (4) (5/1 +38%) General Clermont
5
5/1(+38%)
(4) General Clermont 5/1, Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Clonmel (20.7f, good to soft, 10/1) 8 days ago. Down in trip and he's not without each-way hope. Dual chase winner will enjoy the ground; only beaten 3l at Clonmel last week.
6th
1
6th (1) (11/2 -10%) Calico
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(1) Calico 11/2, Respectable second of 6 in handicap chase (11/2) at Cork (17.6f, good) 19 days ago. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Someone's Wish. Beaten 12l when second to The Banger Doyle on handicap debut at Cork; down in grade.
7th
2
7th (2) (6/1 +0%) Hypotenus
6
6/1(+0%)
(2) Hypotenus 6/1, Fairly useful 2m winner over hurdles. Eighth of 12 in novice chase (8/1) at Punchestown (16.6f, good) 16 days ago. May well take a step forward now pitched into a handicap. Not the strongest of finishers and can make errors but opening mark could be exploitable.
SOMEONE'S WISH won a beginners chase at Downpatrick in September and was only narrowly denied at Cork last time. Now switched to handicaps, the four-year-old could be hard to beat off a workable mark. If You Let Me hit the crossbar on the level last week and should not be underestimated, while Calico and Hypotenus are others who merit places on the shortlist in an open event.
SOMEONE'S WISH has made a positive start over fences, proving 1¼ lengths too strong for the re-opposing Tuckmill on debut in this sphere at Downpatrick prior to going close in his follow up bid at Cork last month. The 4-y-o probably has more to offer as a chaser and earns preference ahead of Hypotenus and General Clermont.
Most of them have a life but maybe CALICO, after a couple of runs to blow away the cobwebs, can capitalise on a drop in grade
14:40 Down Royal Handicap Chase 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(2) Firefox 2/7, Smart hurdler. Good 1¾ lengths second of 9 to Mystical Power in Champion Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft, 9/2), clear of rest. Off 6 months ahead of this chase debut. Could take high rank in the novice chasers' division this season. Classy novice hurdler should take all the beating on chase debut if jumping adequately.
2
4
2nd (4) (4/1 +0%) Mossy Fen Park
4
4/1(+0%)
(4) Mossy Fen Park 4/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Runner-up in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (2½m, heavy, 14/1) when last seen in March. This former point winner is an interesting recruit to the chasing ranks. Fine effort in Grade 2 novice hurdle when last seen at Fairyhouse in March; chase debut.

3rd (1) (18/1 +28%) Big Stage
18
18/1(+28%)
(1) Big Stage 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Successful at Downpatrick in May. 8/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 36 days ago. Makes chase debut. Point winner is rated 119 over hurdles; needed the run at Listowel and now goes chasing.

4th (5) (33/1 +0%) No Time To Wait

33/1(+0%)
(5) No Time To Wait 33/1, First run since leaving Gordon Elliott when pulled up in novice chase at Kilbeggan (25.4f, good to soft, 8/1) on debut over fences 112 days ago, eased between last 2. Likely to leave that form well behind in time. Pulled up on stable/chase debut at Kilbeggan in July where it looked like 3m1f was too far.
5th

5th (3) (8/1 0%) Gringo D'aubrelle
8
8/1(0%)
(3) Gringo D'aubrelle 8/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in November 2021. Placed in Graded novice events on final 2 starts of 2021/22 campaign. Subsequent absence an obvious concern ahead of this chase debut. Point winner as 4yo and landed a bumper and maiden hurdle in November 2021; mammoth layoff.
6th

6th (6) (40/1 +60%) One Night Standard
40
40/1(+60%)
(6) One Night Standard 40/1, Promising sort. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 11/8, fifth of 8 in novice chase at Sligo (21.1f, good) on debut over fences 30 days ago. Open to improvement in this sphere. Well held when 11-8 fav for a beginners' contest at Sligo and this is way better race.
Gordon Elliott has won seven of the last eight renewals of this contest, and the smart hurdler FIREFOX makes the most appeal of the yard's three runners this time. The six-year-old finished runner-up in the Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown in April and is the one to beat if transferring that level of form to the larger obstacles. Stablemate Big Stage could also go well, although Mossy Fen Park may prove a bigger threat on his chasing bow.
This maiden chase has been won by some smart types over the years and FIREFOX is taken to add his name to that list. He performed with great credit in Grade 1 novice hurdles at the three big festivals on both sides of the Irish Sea during the spring, and he has the potential to develop into a top-notch novice chaser. Mossy Fen Park showed plenty over hurdles last season, too, and he gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of the long-absent Gringo D'aubrelle.
It will be a shock if classy novice hurdler FIREFOX, placed in Grade One company at the spring festivals, doesn't score on chase debut
15:15 Down Royal Maiden Chase 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(8) Kalypso'chance 10/3, £85,000 4-y-o, Masked Marvel gelding. Dam, placed over hurdles/fences in France, half-sister to French hurdler/chaser (17f/2½m winner) Escort'Jet. Won sole start in British points (Apr 20). Respected. Point winner in Britain on his sole start; interesting runner if he takes his chance.

33/1(0%)
(5) Coup D'etat 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, second of 6 in bumper at Cork (19f, good) 19 days ago. Place claims. Needs more here than at Cork and the drop back in trip might not be a positive.

5.5
11/2(-57%)
(2) Jerry From Kerry 11/2, Thrice-raced winner in bumpers. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Winner in bumper at Ballinrobe in September. Third of 7 in bumper (4/5) at Punchestown (16.3f, good) 16 days ago. Considered. Has a question to answer after Punchestown but comes right into it on his winning form.

(3) Quint Major 4/1, Career best when winning 6-runner bumper at Clonmel (16.8f, good, 6/1) 29 days ago, pushed out. Needs to improve again. Picked up well to win a 2m1f Clonmel bumper last month on his fifth start; more needed.

(1) Arctic Craft 40/1, Won weak 7-runner bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good, 6/1) 20 days ago. This looks a lot tougher and he's likely to come up short. Much more needed here under his penalty but seems to be a horse going the right way.

(4) Big Lez 80/1, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam (b93), bumper winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (winner around 2m) Pepe Simo and bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 25f) The Eaglehaslanded. Bred to do well in a bumper but best watched in this company.

(6) Hinter Wish 14/1, €32,000 3-y-o, Night Wish gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Wasdell Dundalk. Pulled up sole start in points (Mar 2024). Tailed off when pulled up in a point-to-point in March; best watched here.
Gordon Elliott won this with Firefox last year and has a strong chance once again with JACOB'S LADDER. The five-year-old was caught at the finish on his Rules debut in a Punchestown bumper and a repeat of that level of form would make him a tough nut to crack. Stable companion Kalypso'chance was bought for 85,000 pounds after winning a point-to-point in England and he is likely to pose a solid threat along with Jerry From Kerry, who scored at Ballinrobe on his penultimate start.
Point winner JACOB'S LADDER travelled like the best horse in the race when runner-up at Punchestown on debut and, 6 months on, he should be able to go one better at the likely expense of stablemate Kalypso'chance, who has also tasted success between the flags. Jerry From Kerry deserves some respect, too.
There was nothing to dislike about the debut of JACOB'S LADDER at Punchestown in May and he should take the beating

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.

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.
