Off mark in points at second attempt (Mar 25). Points' winner; yard in fine form so market support noted on hurdles debut.

9th	14 9th (14) (150/1 -355%) No Turn Unstoned	150 150/1(-355%)	(14) No Turn Unstoned 150/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 12/1, seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, soft) on hurdles bow 39 days ago. Didn't jump well and tailed off on last month's hurdles debut at Fairyhouse; best watched.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (8/15 +21%) Better Days Ahead	0.533333 8/15(+21%)	(2) Better Days Ahead 8/15, Successful sole outing in points. Useful winner in bumpers. 23½ lengths sixteenth of 21 to A Dream To Share in Champion Bumper (10/1) at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft). Makes hurdles debut. Leading contender. Also-ran in Cheltenham Bumper but likely major player now switched to hurdles.
10th	15 10th (15) (300/1 -20%) Meoulflower	300 300/1(-20%)	(15) Meoulflower 300/1, Little show in maidens/handicap on Flat. 250/1, fell in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) on NH debut 41 days ago. Poor form on the Flat and behind when last-flight faller on hurdles debut at Gowran.
11th	7 11th (7) (250/1 +0%) Paidin Beag	250 250/1(+0%)	(7) Paidin Beag 250/1, Barely A Moment gelding. Dam modest maiden over hurdles (stayed 2½m). Wears hood. Maiden pointer, pulled up last time (Oct 28). Moderate point-to-point form for Aidan Fitzgerald, easily passed over on Rules debut.
12th	10 12th (10) (125/1 -56%) The Bay Horse	125 125/1(-56%)	(10) The Bay Horse 125/1, Pulled up in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 33/1) on NH debut 19 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 4 out. Significantly up in trip. Pulled up after never featuring on recent belated debut in Limerick maiden.
13th	3 13th (3) (100/1 -203%) Ebony Jade	100 100/1(-203%)	(3) Ebony Jade 100/1, 7/1, fourth of 6 in bumper at Clonmel (16.8f, heavy) on NH debut 43 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Ordinary bumper debut at Clonmel, probably best watched on hurdles debut.
14th	4 14th (4) (250/1 +0%) Google Belfast	250 250/1(+0%)	(4) Google Belfast 250/1, Conduit gelding. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 3¼m) Thomas Patrick. Last of 7 completed start in points (Oct 14). Conduit 5yo with modest form in three point-to-points; best watched.

LTO Selection:

Although BETTER DAYS AHEAD found the Champion Bumper a step too far when down the field at Cheltenham in March, the five-year-old is one to keep on side now tackling hurdles and up in distance. The gelding looks to be the pick of his trainer's quartet and he may be served most resistance by bumper winner The Busy Fool. The son of Doyen isn't taken lightly after his Thurles success last month, with winning pointers Nas Na Riogh and Annaghbeg completing the shortlist.

BETTER DAYS AHEAD didn't do himself justice in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham but this point winner remains a good hurdling prospect. The Busy Fool looked above average when making a winning debut in a Thurles bumper 3 weeks ago so must be respected, while point-winner Nas Na Riogh is worth a look in the betting.

Gordon Elliott has won seven of the last eight runnings of this maiden and his BETTER DAYS AHEAD is hard to oppose on hurdles debut

12:52 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 24f - 19 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	16 1st (16) (5/4 +44%) Hunting Brook	1.25 5/4(+44%)	(16) Hunting Brook 5/4, 17/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (17.8f, soft) 7 months ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Emma Lavelle and needs considering having joined a top yard. Ex Emma Lavelle-trained; upped markedly in trip on first start for the Elliott yard.
2	8 2nd (8) (22/1 +45%) Benkei	22 22/1(+45%)	(8) Benkei 22/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2018. 8/1, stepped up on his comeback run when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (24.5f, soft) 46 days ago. Roscommon third encouraging but fully exposed and remains vulnerable.
3	3 3rd (3) (18/1 -80%) Workforadime	18 18/1(-80%)	(3) Workforadime 18/1, 33/1, hampered and unseated rider sixth in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, heavy) 19 days ago. Remains capable of better and worth noting should the market speak in her favour. Hard to be confident in but not one to entirely rule out.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 -155%) Eagle Terrace	28 28/1(-155%)	(1) Eagle Terrace 28/1, Latest win in chase at Cartmel in July. 3/1, fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Cartmel (25.5f, soft) 74 days ago, merely closing up late. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cartmel chase winner well held there since; back hurdling here and handles ground.
5th	12 5th (12) (11/1 +8%) Ballydangan	11 11/1(+8%)	(12) Ballydangan 11/1, Wasn't in the same form as previously when thirteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Cork (19f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Back up in trip. Enters calculations if leaving behind his latest effort. Penultimate Fairyhouse second over this trip on soft puts him in the mix.
6th	9 6th (9) (18/1 -13%) He's Home Again	18 18/1(-13%)	(9) He's Home Again 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, failed to improve making his handicap debut after 7 months off when eighth of 10 at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Remains capable of better having been steadily progressive in maidens previously. Never involved on last month's handicap debut at Limerick; may need more time.
7th	4 7th (4) (12/1 -20%) Gaye Winnie	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Gaye Winnie 12/1, 17/2, shaped much better than the distance beaten suggested when ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.5f, soft) 2 weeks ago, second when bad mistake 2 out. Significantly up in trip. Not dismissed if keeping errors to a minimum. Disappointing since Downpatrick maiden, jumping letting her down; upped in trip now.
8th	13 8th (13) (80/1 -344%) I'm For Home	80 80/1(-344%)	(13) I'm For Home 80/1, Fared no better sent handicapping after 5 months off when eighth of 11 at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft, 28/1) 8 weeks ago. Significantly up in trip. Difficult ask. Let down by jumping on comeback run and handicap debut at Downpatrick; hard to fancy.
9th	5 9th (5) (16/1 -33%) Hunt Museum	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Hunt Museum 16/1, 100/1, eighth of 19 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good) 31 days ago, off bridle before most. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer. Unexposed upped in trip entering handicaps; worth a market check.
10	10 \|F\| (10) (11/2 -22%) Reserve Judgement	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(10) Reserve Judgement 11/2, Course winner in June. 13/2, ran creditably after 5 months off when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (20f, soft) 2 weeks ago. Back up in trip. Looks competitive on form. C&D winner on good in June, soft ground remains a concern here.
11	11 \|F\| (11) (33/1 +18%) Free Parking	33 33/1(+18%)	(11) Free Parking 33/1, Fourteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at this course (24f, good to soft) 10 weeks ago, dropping away before 3 out. Poor opening efforts in handicaps and can only be watched for now.
14	14 \|U\| (14) (9/1 -20%) Spice Diva	9 9/1(-20%)	(14) Spice Diva 9/1, Promising individual. Fifth of 15 in maiden hurdle at Roscommon (20.5f, soft, 14/1) 46 days ago, needing stiffer test. Looks the type to do better in handicaps so merits consideration upped further in trip. Stamina concerns upped in trip but opening mark looks fair.
19	19 \|U\| (19) (33/1 +18%) Trim To Milan	33 33/1(+18%)	(19) Trim To Milan 33/1, 8/1, again failed to make any sort of impact when ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 39 days ago, none too fluent. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap back on. Uphill task. Well held dropped in trip latest, previous form gives little cause for optimism.
17	17 \|U\| (17) (100/1 -52%) Military Hill	100 100/1(-52%)	(17) Military Hill 100/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2019. 25/1, again showed little when 30¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Moneynabane in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.5f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Galway maiden hurdle winner back in the day; hard to fancy on recent form.
10th	15 10th (15) (50/1 -52%) Our Jervis	50 50/1(-52%)	(15) Our Jervis 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 4 months ago, tailing off some way out. Absent since July; headgear left off here and likely best watched on return.
11th	7 11th (7) (25/1 -108%) Falvio	25 25/1(-108%)	(7) Falvio 25/1, Got back on track despite being caught further back than ideal when third of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.4f, soft, 4/1) 8 months ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving A. J. Martin. Placed in 2m handicaps for Tony Martin; major step up in trip on yard debut.
12th	18 12th (18) (125/1 -89%) Penthouse Poppet	125 125/1(-89%)	(18) Penthouse Poppet 125/1, 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, jumped none too fluently when seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, good) 8 months ago. Plenty to find on form (well beaten both starts in points in October). Not too much to take from handicaps last season, well held in recent points'.
13th	2 13th (2) (22/1 -38%) Speed Gang	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Speed Gang 22/1, Seventh of 14 in beginners chase (8/1) at Tramore (21.7f, heavy) 29 days ago, no threat from 2 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers on 1st time. Yet to fire for current connections so percentage call is to look elsewhere. Form for current yard so far modest; blinkers replace cheekpieces but hard to fancy.
14th	6 14th (6) (33/1 -106%) Moneynabane	33 33/1(-106%)	(6) Moneynabane 33/1, Winner in hurdle at Downpatrick in October. 80/1, stiff task from well out of weights when fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (19.9f, good to soft) 2 weeks ago. Up in trip. Stiff task last time at Cheltenham but not one to rule out now dropped in class.

LTO Selection:

A highly-encouraging second at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start, BALLYDANGAN should relish going back up to three miles and he is taken to get off the mark at the seventh time of asking. The six-year-old is preferred to the likes of Falvio on his first starts for new connections and Reserve Judgement, who won comfortably here in June. The veteran Benkei is entitled to be thereabouts, along with handicap debutant Hunt Museum and Eagle Terrace.

Plenty in with a squeak but the tentative vote goes to SPICE DIVA, who is bred to stay well and looks the type to do much better now handicapping. Hunting Brook failed to show much for Emma Lavelle but he could prove a different proposition on return for his new yard, while Workforadime, Reserve Judgement and Hunt Museum are another trio fancied to be in the shake-up.

A disappointing favourite at Cork last time, BALLYDANGAN is probably worth another chance based on his previous Fairyhouse second

12:52 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:27 Down Royal Novices Hurdle 17f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (2/1 -141%) Brighterdaysahead	2 2/1(-141%)	(8) Brighterdaysahead 2/1, Highly promising individual. Won 11-runner novice hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, soft, 1/4) on hurdles bow 22 days ago, unchallenged. Should significantly improve. Interesting prospect. Jumping was untidy at Thurles but she has yet to be seriously tested, very smart prospect.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +33%) Banntown Girl	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) Banntown Girl 8/1, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle (3/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Has good chance on form. Generally reliable and relatively experienced, 19l handicap winner on latest, up in class.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +20%) Williamstowndancer	4 4/1(+20%)	(1) Williamstowndancer 4/1, Useful hurdler. 15/2, career best when winning 6-runner Joe Mac Novices' Hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, soft) 40 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Bialystok. Yard in good form. Solid claims. Recovered from flop in Galway race won by Arctic Fly to turn the tables at Tipperary.
4	4 4th (4) (25/1 -39%) A Law Of Her Own	25 25/1(-39%)	(4) A Law Of Her Own 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Galway in August. Seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft, 14/1) 77 days ago. Visor back on and in the mix. Battled well to win a mares' handicap at the Galway festival, soundly beaten at Killarney.
5th	7 5th (7) (3/1 +57%) Birdie Or Bust	3 3/1(+57%)	(7) Birdie Or Bust 3/1, Promising sort. Good 4½ lengths third of 6 to Williamstowndancer in Joe Mac Novices' Hurdle (9/4) at Tipperary (16.2f, soft) 40 days ago. Trainer going well. Open to improvement. In the picture. Ran out of steam when favourite for similar race won by Williamstowndancer, can do better.
6th	3 6th (3) (100/1 -52%) Lady Of The Vale	100 100/1(-52%)	(3) Lady Of The Vale 100/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Bellewstown in August. Still in touch when unseated rider 3 out in listed mares event (9/1) at Limerick (22.7f, heavy) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Considered. Has been let down by her jumping on her last two starts, not suited by the race conditions.
7th	12 7th (12) (33/1 -18%) Ottizzini	33 33/1(-18%)	(12) Ottizzini 33/1, Fair hurdler. Landed 12-runner novice hurdle (2/1) at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft), driven clear. Off 6 months. Down in trip. Plenty to find on form. Looks more of a staying type on the basis of form that has featured a 2m6f maiden win.
8th	10 8th (10) (6/1 +29%) Jetara	6 6/1(+29%)	(10) Jetara 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 18/1, pulled up in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Novices' Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse (20.4f, good to soft). Needs to hit the ground running after 7 months off. Dual bumper winner, competed at a high level last season, needs to settle and jump better.
9th	11 9th (11) (150/1 -275%) Leahs Tricks	150 150/1(-275%)	(11) Leahs Tricks 150/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 15/2, career best when winning 16-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 39 days ago, all out. Uphill task here, though. Game winner of an ordinary mares' maiden at Fairyhouse, faces a big jump in class now.
10th	9 10th (9) (80/1 -344%) Gone For Tea	80 80/1(-344%)	(9) Gone For Tea 80/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 9/2, second of 10 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 56 days ago. Thriving but needs more here. Decent bumper form culminating in a Bellewstown win, beaten in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (14/1 -17%) Arctic Fly	14 14/1(-17%)	(2) Arctic Fly 14/1, Useful hurdler. 2 wins from 3 runs this season. 29½ lengths fourth of 6 to Williamstowndancer in Joe Mac Novices' Hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, soft, 10/3) 40 days ago. Stable in good form so not ruled out. Beaten 30l by Willamstowndancer at Tipperary, suffering a massive reversal of Galway form.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (100/1 -355%) Air Drop	100 100/1(-355%)	(5) Air Drop 100/1, Fair hurdler. C&D winner. Winner in hurdle here in September. Pulled up in listed mares event at Gowran (16f, heavy, 9/1) 42 days ago. Difficult ask. C&D maiden winner, pulled up at Gowran, second-string for trainer of Brighterdaysahead.

LTO Selection:

Williamstowndancer had a few of these behind when winning a Grade 3 contest at Tipperary on her latest outing and she is likely to be bang there once more. However, preference is for the unbeaten BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD, who secured a victory in easy fashion on her hurdles debut at Thurles last time and she should have plenty more to come. The daughter of Kapgarde can take this before moving onto bigger targets. Banntown Girl completes the shortlist after her facile success at Punchestown last month.

Plenty of potential on show but BANNTOWN GIRL holds the clear edge on the form of her recent Punchestown success so edges the vote. Brighterdaysahead rates a fine prospect on the back of her easy Thurles win and is next on the list, although both Williamstowndancer and Birdie Or Bust are not without interest either in a cracking Grade 3.

Gordon Elliott adopts a bold policy with the unbeaten four-year-old BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD and she may prove equal to the task

14:02 Down Royal Conditions Hurdle 17f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (5/6 -4%) Irish Point	0.833333 5/6(-4%)	(1) Irish Point 5/6, Smart hurdler. Career best when winning 14-runner Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree (20f, good, 5/1) by 3½ lengths from Kateira, readily. Big player if ready to roll following a 6-month break. Yard has won 3 of the last 4 runnings of this. 2m4f Aintree Grade 1 winner, trip possibly shorter than ideal but sets a high standard.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/10 +27%) Magical Zoe	1.1 11/10(+27%)	(4) Magical Zoe 11/10, Promising individual. C&D winner. Career best when winning 7-runner listed mares event (8/11) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 42 days ago by 4¼ lengths from Say Goodbye. Likely she has more to offer. C&D winner, smart novice form featured Grade 2 Cheltenham second, won easily on return.
3	6 3rd (6) (20/1 -67%) Media Naranja	20 20/1(-67%)	(6) Media Naranja 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in May. Below form second of 5 in minor event hurdle (7/2) at Kilbeggan (18.3f, good) 144 days ago. Irish Point is presumably the stable No 1. Progressive filly in the first half of the year, second-string for trainer of Irish Point.
4	7 4th (7) (66/1 +0%) Fizzle Rock	66 66/1(+0%)	(7) Fizzle Rock 66/1, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in August. 7/2, bit below form third of 11 in novice hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) 22 days ago. Mountain to climb on these terms. Course bumper winner, has been running quite consistently at a modest level, huge task now.
5th	2 5th (2) (25/1 -14%) Sir Allen	25 25/1(-14%)	(2) Sir Allen 25/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Latest win in hurdle at Naas in February. 4/1, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Gowran (11.8f, heavy) 24 days ago. Looks vulnerable back in this sphere. Fit from Flat action, useful juvenile form last season but others make more appeal here.
6th	3 6th (3) (125/1 -89%) I Don't Get It	125 125/1(-89%)	(3) I Don't Get It 125/1, Fair hurdler. C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good, 10/1) 145 days ago, needing stiffer test. Uphill task on these terms. Progressive form in handicaps this season but not suited by the race conditions.
7th	5 7th (5) (50/1 -317%) David Garrick	50 50/1(-317%)	(5) David Garrick 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. 10/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at the Curragh (10f, soft) 29 days ago, rallying. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Flat winner last month, second to Pied Piper here last year, much deeper race this time.

LTO Selection:

IRISH POINT was a commanding winner of the Mersey Novices' Hurdle when last seen and Gordon Elliott's five-year-old is hard to oppose as he drops in grade for his seasonal return. Magical Zoe has race-fitness on her side and looks the most likely threat, having cruised to victory in a Listed event last time, while official ratings would suggest Sir Allen has a chance and he heads the remainder.

With race-fitness on her side and armed with plenty of scope for further improvement, MAGICAL ZOE is taken to get the better of likely market leader Irish Point. The latter sets the standard based on his Grade 1 success at Aintree during the spring, but he will do well to successfully concede 13 lb to Magical Zoe, who looked good when making a winning reappearance at Gowran. David Garrick scored on the Flat last month and could be in line for minor place money.

Race fitness gives a fighting chance to Magical Zoe but IRISH POINT has stronger credentials in overall terms

14:37 Down Royal Handicap Chase 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (18/1 -64%) Dont Go Yet	18 18/1(-64%)	(5) Dont Go Yet 18/1, One win from 21 NH runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 13 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19.1f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 6 months. Respectable form over hurdles and fences in first half of the year, lacks a recent run.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 -67%) Bythesametoken	10 10/1(-67%)	(2) Bythesametoken 10/1, C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 7/4) 40 days ago, well on top finish. Winning favourite at Killarney, closely matched with Irish Blaze on Listowel running.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +50%) Irish Blaze	7 7/1(+50%)	(3) Irish Blaze 7/1, Latest win in chase at Downpatrick in August. 6/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Listowel (17f, soft) 49 days ago. Something to find on form. Not far off subsequent Killarney winner Bythesametoken when fourth at Listowel, needs more.
4	7 4th (7) (13/2 -18%) Mount Brown	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(7) Mount Brown 13/2, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 16/1, bit below form third of 9 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Cheekpieces back on. Made handicap debut in a strong Fairyhouse event in April, renews rivalry with Pats Choice.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 -38%) Paidi's Passion	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Paidi's Passion 9/1, Completed a hat-trick when seeing off 6 rivals in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, heavy, 11/4) 29 days ago. The second leg of the hat-trick came in a maiden chase. Makes handicap chase debut. Enters calculations. Three wins a row since August, two over hurdles, fair chance in her first handicap chase.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 +40%) Pats Choice	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(1) Pats Choice 9/2, Latest win in chase at Galway in October. 9/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap chase at Limerick (19f, heavy) 19 days ago. Consistent sort, bumped into a well-treated rival over 2m3f at Limerick last time.
7th	9 7th (9) (2/1 +33%) Womalko	2 2/1(+33%)	(9) Womalko 2/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap chase (10/3) at Clonmel (16.3f, heavy) 15 days ago, travelling as well as any. Expected to be bang there. Should be better for his recent return at Clonmel, appeals most of the yard's 3 runners.
8th	8 8th (8) (5/1 -43%) Itwasfate	5 5/1(-43%)	(8) Itwasfate 5/1, Fairly useful winner at 15f over hurdles. Creditable second of 8 in novice chase at Tramore (15.5f, good, 13/8) 85 days ago. Trainer going well. Tongue strap on 1st time. Merits consideration. Beaten favourite on his last two starts but was close up in third in a handicap at Wexford.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (150/1 -582%) General Dynamics	150 150/1(-582%)	(4) General Dynamics 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Third of 10 in novice chase (250/1) at Tipperary (17.5f, soft). Off 6 months. Makes handicap chase debut. Has work to do. Huge price when third at Tipperary in April, now has plenty of weight for handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

An intriguing handicap that looks wide open and Gordon Elliott has three runners in with chances, possibly headed by WOMALKO, who is racing from the bottom of the weights. A beaten favourite at Clonmel on his first start since December last year, he might do better now under Mark Walsh. Dont Go Yet could be interesting dropped in trip and if he can get to the front to make the running, then he may be a major player. General Dynamics came home a six-length third at odds of 250/1 last time out and could be the surprise package.

WOMALKO gets the nod to build on a promising comeback run at Clonmel a fortnight ago. Henry de Bromhead's Itwasfate is feared most ahead of the thriving Paidi's Passion and the selection's stablemate Pats Choice.

It looks significant that Gordon Elliott has added WOMALKO (nap) to the field. He should strip fitter after a recent Clonmel run

15:12 Down Royal Maiden Chase 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (8/13 +15%) Found A Fifty	0.615385 8/13(+15%)	(2) Found A Fifty 8/13, Lightly-raced winner Rules. Successful over hurdles at Fairyhouse in January. This former point winner is very much of interest now switched to fences. Second in a Grade 2 as a novice hurdler, failed to prosper in Grade 1 company, interesting.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/8 +0%) Colonel Mustard	1.875 15/8(+0%)	(1) Colonel Mustard 15/8, Promising sort. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good 9 lengths third of 6 to State Man in Punchestown Champion Hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good to soft). Switches from hurdles to chase. The one to beat. Trounced by star novice El Fabiolo before sent back over hurdles last term, leading chance.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/1 -100%) La Malmason	11 11/1(-100%)	(8) La Malmason 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Unseated rider in novice chase at Limerick (19f, heavy, 6/1) 19 days ago, would have finished in frame. Should progress in this sphere. Will need to qualify for a handicap mark judging by her first two runs over fences.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 -10%) Lucky Max	11 11/1(-10%)	(3) Lucky Max 11/1, Smart hurdler. Blinkered for 1st time, fourteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Galway (16f, good to soft) 99 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Each-way chance. Four-time winner over hurdles, did not seem to take to chasing last season, best watched.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 -75%) Tronador	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Tronador 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy) 27 days ago, outpaced from 3 out. Makes chase debut. Yard saddles a more appealing candidate in Found A Fifty. Fair form on Flat and over hurdles, pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Chepstow last time.
6th	9 6th (9) (28/1 +15%) Soldaro	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Soldaro 28/1, Promising sort. Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. 20/1, eighth of 13 in novice chase at Thurles (20.5f, soft) on debut over fences 22 days ago. Open to improvement. Ordinary form in bumpers, improved when sent hurdling, little impact on chasing debut.
7th	5 7th (5) (80/1 +68%) That's Me Finished	80 80/1(+68%)	(5) That's Me Finished 80/1, Sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, heavy, 15/2) 13 days ago. Makes chase debut. 80-rated hurdler, never in the first three in nine starts, can be ruled out.
8th	4 8th (4) (150/1 +40%) One Of Us Is Lying	150 150/1(+40%)	(4) One Of Us Is Lying 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good, 125/1) 89 days ago. Makes chase debut. Pulled up both starts in points, no sign of ability in three attempts over hurdles.
9th	7 9th (7) (200/1 +20%) Celebrating Katie	200 200/1(+20%)	(7) Celebrating Katie 200/1, Unseated rider in novice chase (66/1) at Thurles (18.3f, soft) on debut over fences 8 days ago. Posed no threat when unseating at the eighth on chasing debut at Thurles last week.

LTO Selection:

Colonel Mustard showed a high level of form over hurdles last season and must be respected today, but preference is for FOUND A FIFTY. The six-year-old, who contested the Champion Novice Hurdle when last seen, is bred to appreciate the switch to chasing and he is fancied to make an immediate impact. Others to note include Lucky Max and Tronador.

FOUND A FIFTY was ultimately well held in Grade 1 novice hurdles at Aintree and Punchestown during the spring, but he looked very promising prior to that and appeals as the type to make up into a smart performer in this sphere. The 6-y-o is marginally preferred to Colonel Mustard, who ran a fine race in the Paddy Power Champion Hurdle on his final start of last season. La Malmason and Soldaro should both win races in this sphere in due course.

A smart hurdler who ran twice over fences last season, COLONEL MUSTARD may now put that experience to good use

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (1/6 +77%) Firefox	0.166667 1/6(+77%)	(1) Firefox 1/6, Useful form last season, doubling his tally in 5-runner event at Fairyhouse 7 months ago. Fully expected to land the hat-trick on return. Two bumper wins last term, could be vulnerable with The Yellow Clay added to the field.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/1 +55%) Quint Major	10 10/1(+55%)	(6) Quint Major 10/1, Aizavoski gelding. Dam (b79), placed in bumpers, closely related to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) O Maonlai and bumper winner Flirtatious Girl. First foal out of a close relative to useful bumper/hurdle/chase winner O Maonlai.
3	4 3rd (4) (17/2 +29%) Wrecking Ballbilly	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(4) Wrecking Ballbilly 17/2, 4/1, won 4-runner bumper at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) 56 days ago, readily. Could do better still. Won readily at Downpatrick when the Mullins and Elliott runners flopped, good 7lb claimer.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 -17%) Ilitch	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Ilitch 14/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 18 in bumper at Punchestown (18f, good to soft, 80/1) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Should be more mature than when making his debut, could produce a much-improved display.
5th	3 5th (3) (100/1 -150%) Feast	100 100/1(-150%)	(3) Feast 100/1, Winner in bumper at Downpatrick in July. Last of 8 in bumper at Galway (16f, soft, 33/1) 96 days ago. 150-1 winner at Downpatrick, tailed off when raised in class at the Galway festival.

LTO Selection:

Cailin Deas caught the eye on her debut and she is entitled to find plenty of improvement for that experience, but Gordon Elliott appears to have the better chances with Firefox and THE YELLOW CLAY. Both are looking for their hat-trick here, but the younger option arrives unbeaten after winning a Listed race by over two lengths in March and that form seems the best on offer and the booking of Harry Swan is a positive. That said, he will need to be at his best to see off his stable companion.

FIREFOX is a cut above this field and should have little issue making a successful return from 7 months off. His stablemate The Yellow Clay looks the likeliest to capitalise if the selection underperforms, although Wrecking Ballbilly can't be completely dismissed.

Gordon Elliott holds the aces here. Harry Swan partners the unbeaten THE YELLOW CLAY who is just preferred to Firefox

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.
