|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (8/15 +0%)Mange Tout |
8/15(+0%) | (5) Mange Tout 8/15, Yard has won three of the last five runnings of this race; fair debut, winning with ease by 15l in a mares' hurdle over 2m at Compiegne on debut; effective at 2m, acts on very soft ground; a smart juvenile prospect for a leading yard, headgear removed. Runaway winner on sole French hurdles start; joined top yard and could take lot of beating. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 -25%)Wizard Of Odds |
5/1(-25%) | (2) Wizard Of Odds 5/1, Bit keen but fair hurdles debut when winning a maiden hurdle at Cork over 2m by 2 1/2l last time; effective just under 2m, acts on good ground; respected based on that hurdles debut success. Comfortable Cork maiden winner with likely more to offer; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/3 +17%)Bibe Mus |
10/3(+17%) | (1) Bibe Mus 10/3, Workmanlike start over hurdles, showing a good attitude when winning a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park over 2m by 1/2l last time; effective at 2m, acts on yielding ground; a satisfactory start but more required in this stronger race. Battled well for Gowran hurdle debut win; more needed however to play a major role here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (18/1 -13%)Sopelana |
18/1(-13%) | (6) Sopelana 18/1, Not far off form when beaten 8l in a handicap over 12f at Bellewstown last time; effective at 2m on soft or good ground; progressive over hurdles but below that level so far on the Flat. Ballinrobe winner will relish any softening in the ground; could sneak a place. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (100/1 +0%)Antoine De Paris |
100/1(+0%) | (3) Antoine De Paris 100/1, Again below form when beaten 8l in a handicap over 11f at Dundalk last time; difficult to recommend on current form. Sligo claiming winner for Noel Meade; hard to fancy on hurdles debut. |

MANGE TOUT is already prominent in the betting for the Triumph Hurdle following a 15-length rout of the opposition on her racecourse bow at Compiegne in May. A half-sister to multiple Grade 1 winner Impaire Et Passe, she is expected to be a warm order on her first appearance for Gordon Elliott. Wizard Of Odds won at Cork last month and is likely to step forward from that effort, while Bibe Mus is respected following his hurdling debut success at Gowran.

French winner MANGE TOUT can continue Elliott's good record in the race

1st (4) (16/1 +27%)Jony R |
16/1(+27%) | (4) Jony R 16/1, Too keen and ran to a similar level as on hurdles debut when well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Navan last time; effective at 2m, may need this first run since March. Mild promise last season; best watched on seasonal return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/11 -9%)Kalypso'chance |
4/11(-9%) | (5) Kalypso'chance 4/11, From a yard that has won the last two renewals of this race; raced keenly and was comfortably held in the Grade 1 Champion I.N.H. Flat Race at Punchestown last time; the pick on overall form. Dual bumper winner and this looks a good starting point over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (80/1 +20%)Maxwell Smart |
80/1(+20%) | (9) Maxwell Smart 80/1, Ran close to form when beaten 5l in a 1m6f handicap at Navan last time; has plenty to do up in trip. Low-grade Flat handicapper won here over 1m5f in September; tries hurdles again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (15/2 -7%)Sept Etoiles |
15/2(-7%) | (10) Sept Etoiles 15/2, From a yard that has won the last two renewals; 150,000-euro Doctor Dino gelding trained by a leading handler. 150,000euros 3yo worth a look on debut but Kalypso'chance appears the yard's first-choice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (66/1 -100%)Dameauscottlestown |
66/1(-100%) | (12) Dameauscottlestown 66/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; returns from a long layoff and wears a tongue-tie for the first time; faces a tough task. Point-to-points offered little; best watched on rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (125/1 -213%)Diaduit Buachaill |
125/1(-213%) | (1) Diaduit Buachaill 125/1, Modest debut over hurdles when well beaten in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Sligo on his only start; should be effective from 2m to 2m4f though the drop in trip may not suit. Didn't count when midfield on recent Sligo debut; best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (300/1 -200%)Jukebox Jolene |
300/1(-200%) | (13) Jukebox Jolene 300/1, Jukebox Jury filly and half-sister to Robin Blue Breast, who was very smart over 16f. Second foal of a bumper winner; best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (15) (15/2 +25%)Stepdance |
15/2(+25%) | (15) Stepdance 15/2, Improved on her hurdles debut when beaten 9l in a 2m maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; effective at 2m and acts on yielding and good ground; a likely type for modest handicaps over hurdles. Progressive albeit ordinary Flat handicapper; won't want too much rain on hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (25/1 0%)Goin' |
25/1(0%) | (3) Goin' 25/1, Too much to do but ran to form when beaten 3l in a 2m handicap at Thurles last time; has a bit to find. German Flat winner, ordinary form of late; likely all the better for this hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (250/1 -150%)Flash The Badge |
250/1(-150%) | (2) Flash The Badge 250/1, Again showed little when finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; flat-bred and has shown very little to date, facing a stiff task again. Well beaten in a bumper and a pair of maiden hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (18/1 -125%)The Guinness Boys |
18/1(-125%) | (11) The Guinness Boys 18/1, Improved on a modest hurdles debut when fourth beaten 16l in a 2m maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective at 2m and acts on yielding and good ground; capable of better for a good yard. Punchestown fourth a step in the right direction, could have more to offer here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (22/1 +0%)Lips Freedom |
22/1(+0%) | (8) Lips Freedom 22/1, Made no impact when up in trip on deep ground in a 12f handicap at Leopardstown last time; effective at 12f and suited by cut; a Listed winner before moving to Ireland. Decent on the Flat in Germany but unconvincing so far in Ireland. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (7) (100/1 0%)Let's Go Mans |
100/1(0%) | (7) Let's Go Mans 100/1, Green and outpaced when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; yet to show any ability and may need further than 2m in time. Shown nothing in maidens at Naas and Cork; no appeal for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (200/1 -300%)Marions Diva |
200/1(-300%) | (14) Marions Diva 200/1, Kalanisi mare and full-sister to Sassy Diva, who was smart over 20f. Sister to winning hurdlers Sassy Diva & Breesy Mountain; worth a market check on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (6) (300/1 -140%)Ledger |
300/1(-140%) | (6) Ledger 300/1, Well below even a modest level when down the field in an 8f handicap at Bellewstown last time; returns from a short break and has plenty to find. Regressive this year on Flat and can only be watched now switched to hurdles. |

Gordon Elliott has won five of the last six renewals and KALYPSO'CHANCE is difficult to oppose. He wasn't disgraced when sent off favourite for the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham in March, having landed a Listed contest at Navan before that, and will likely prove a cut above today's opposition if taking to hurdling. Stablemate and newcomer Sept Etoiles is one to note for the future, but the improving Stepdance may prove the main danger to the selection.

Seemingly very little strength in depth and hard to oppose dual bumper winner KALYPSOS'CHANCE on hurdling debut

1st (2) (85/40 +53%)Blake |
85/40(+53%) | (2) Blake 85/40, Yard has won three of the last ten renewals; showed small improvement when hampered and promoted to first after finishing second, beaten 3 1/4l in a 12f handicap at Leopardstown. Represents value on overall form. Recent Flat winner (awarded); needs to jump better than on Cork debut in March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (33/1 -18%)Takenasred |
33/1(-18%) | (11) Takenasred 33/1, Too keen and below hurdles form when reverting to bumpers, finishing down the field in a 2m Kilbeggan bumper. Returns from a break and needs to find much more. Bumper form ordinary but sole hurdle run was encouraging; needs to jump better though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (6/5 +40%)Road Exile |
6/5(+40%) | (9) Road Exile 6/5, Yard has won the last two renewals; matched his rules debut level when winning a 2m bumper at Limerick by 5l last time. Returns from a lengthy layoff and has plenty to prove at this level. Limerick bumper winner last term on heavy; obvious appeal now sent hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/1 +11%)A Dream To Share |
4/1(+11%) | (1) A Dream To Share 4/1, Winner of two Grade 1 races; well held off a tough opening mark when finishing down the field in a 2m handicap at Naas last time. The pick on balance of form. Top bumper performer; jumping left a bit to be desired when last seen hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (150/1 -200%)Tiger Twins |
150/1(-200%) | (12) Tiger Twins 150/1, Modest debut effort when failing to get home, well beaten in a 2m bumper at Listowel. Trainer in form but this demands considerable improvement. Dropped away tamely on bumper debut; can only be watched now switched to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (20/1 -100%)Kevlar |
20/1(-100%) | (6) Kevlar 20/1, Ran to form when dropped back in trip, finishing second and beaten 1 1/2l in a 2m bumper at Kilbeggan. Returns from a break and looks difficult to recommend in this company. Useful enough bumper form; likely better hurdler but may need this after summer break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (125/1 -279%)Rackemandstackem |
125/1(-279%) | (8) Rackemandstackem 125/1, Showed some promise but likely needed the run when well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Gowran Park on debut. Should stay around 2m4f but needs major improvement to feature. Never counted on recent Gowran debut; seemingly the pick of the Cromwell trio. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (50/1 -79%)Bryson |
50/1(-79%) | (3) Bryson 50/1, Made a fair hurdles debut when closing late to finish 17l fourth in a maiden hurdle here; hood applied for the first time. Effective around 2m1f and acts on good ground; likely to improve with experience. Okay C&D debut effort in May, tending to jump left; tried hooded on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (250/1 -213%)Soldier Saint |
250/1(-213%) | (10) Soldier Saint 250/1, Ran well below bumper form when finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Listowel last time. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; up against it on current evidence. Ex Nicky Henderson-trained; behind throughout on hurdles debut at Listowel, best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (300/1 -140%)Rhythm Of Choice |
300/1(-140%) | (14) Rhythm Of Choice 300/1, Again ran to a poor level when finishing down the field in a 2m2f maiden hurdle at Sligo last time. Showed minor promise at 3m in points and may fare better once handicapping. Placed in point-to-point but maiden hurdle form so far poor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (14/1 -17%)O'reilly |
14/1(-17%) | (7) O'reilly 14/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 6l in a 2m maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; wears a hood for the first time. Effective between 2m and 2m2f and acts on soft and good ground; expected to remain competitive in maiden hurdles. Placed on three of four attempts hurdling, more needed to play a major role here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (4) (200/1 -100%)Catch Fire |
200/1(-100%) | (4) Catch Fire 200/1, Raced too keenly and again made no impact when finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle at Cork last time. Should stay 2m–2m4f but faces a stiff task on return from a break. French Flat winner but two hurdle runs have been modest, can only be watched for now. |

Whinney Hill, who was pitched into Grade 1 events on his last two starts, and A Dream To Share, the winner of the 2023 championship bumpers at Cheltenham and Punchestown, bring a touch of class and look set to play strong roles. However, ROAD EXILE is a useful prospect now he switches to hurdles and, based on potential, he could be the pick of a strong hand played by Gordon Elliott. Others with each-way chances include Blake, Kevlar and O'Reilly.

Top bumper performer A DREAM TO SHARE is worth another chance here, at the expense of hurdles debutant Road Exile

1st (9) (7/2 +53%)Lieber Nicc |
7/2(+53%) | (9) Lieber Nicc 7/2, Built on Flat debut though failed to get home when stepped up in trip, finishing well held in a 2m maiden at Thurles last time. Should be in the mix. Ran well at Leopardstown in December, fit from two Flat runs, needs rain to miss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/1 -38%)Wholelotofbusiness |
11/1(-38%) | (8) Wholelotofbusiness 11/1, Ran to form when allowed a relatively easy lead to win a novice hurdle at Killarney by 5l last time. Effective at 2m, acts on any ground, and is a consistent performer. Won a Killarney novice on latest, mark rose from 112 to 120, very soft would be a query. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (12/1 -85%)Spy |
12/1(-85%) | (10) Spy 12/1, Won off 113 at Killarney three starts back; ran to form back on the Flat when third, beaten 5 1/2l off 58 last time. Consistent on sound surface and may progress further now he has gained confidence over hurdles. Won off 6lb lower at Killarney, beaten off revised mark since, career best required. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (8/1 -60%)Ragmans Corner |
8/1(-60%) | (4) Ragmans Corner 8/1, Won by 2 1/2l off 118 over 2m at Navan on his penultimate start; already held when hampered and beaten 12l off 83 last time. Effective at 2m, acts on soft and good ground, and looks well treated on flat form. 3-15 over hurdles, up 7lb and in grade after impressive Navan win, could be more to come. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/1 +8%)Balko D'ange |
11/1(+8%) | (5) Balko D'ange 11/1, Ran to form on first start since spring when beaten 2 1/4l off 124 over 2m at Tipperary last time. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy and good ground; consistent and likely to give another good account. Won off 10lb lower last December, pleasing reappearance latest, ground versatile. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (14/1 -100%)Sequoiaspirit |
14/1(-100%) | (6) Sequoiaspirit 14/1, Looked in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held in a 2m handicap hurdle at Listowel last time. In good form previously; trainer in form. Effective from 2m to 2m6f, acts on yielding and good ground, and is consistent. Dual-purpose, in good form in both codes, needs to find a bit more to win off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (6/1 +8%)Wendrock |
6/1(+8%) | (1) Wendrock 6/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 11l, in the Grade 2 O'Driscoll's Irish Whiskey Juvenile Hurdle over 2m at Fairyhouse on testing ground that may not have suited. Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; likely has more to come. Highly tried after 3yo maiden hurdle win, ran okay in the Fred Winter, go well if fit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (28/1 +65%)Shanroe |
28/1(+65%) | (7) Shanroe 28/1, Continued in poor form when finishing down the field in a handicap at Clonmel last time after a short break. Former Listed winner who looks the pick on race times. Veteran has been out of form for some time, needs a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (9/1 -13%)Arch Empire |
9/1(-13%) | (2) Arch Empire 9/1, Travelled best but failed to stay the longer trip when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l, in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Cheltenham last time. Yard has won the last two runnings of this race; effective at 2m and generally consistent. Some good runs in defeat since maiden win, Kennedy keeps faith, rain a big worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (8/1 +20%)Serienmond |
8/1(+20%) | (12) Serienmond 8/1, Short of room and flattened out late when upped in trip, beaten 6 1/2l in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2m and appears to be running into form this term. Won off 10lb lower in March, modest efforts last twice, may be on a tough mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (8/1 +0%)Messerschmitt |
8/1(+0%) | (3) Messerschmitt 8/1, Raced wide and did too much too soon when well beaten in the Listed Lartigue Handicap Hurdle over 2m at Listowel last time. In good form before that; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; well treated on both flat and hurdle form. Best efforts have come at Galway, tough task in Lartigue latest, could rebound. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (28/1 -40%)Fast Felix |
28/1(-40%) | (11) Fast Felix 28/1, Landed a handicap by 3 1/4l off 109 over 2m at Listowel on his penultimate start; outclassed when comfortably held up in grade in a novice hurdle last time. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on good ground and in fine recent form. Back-to-back wins at Killarney and Listowel, poor latest and forecast rain a negative. |

RAGMANS CORNER went up 7lb for scoring at Navan in September after travelling notably well throughout the contest. The six-year-old appears to have more to offer and gets the vote to land a fourth victory over timber. Lieber Nicc finished fifth in this contest 12 months ago and returns following a couple of spins on the Flat. He is expected to be in the mix along with Balko D'ange, who was fourth at Tipperary, and Spy.

BALKO D'ANGE is ground versatile and he should improve plenty for his pleasing seasonal return at Tipperary

1st (11) (11/1 +50%)Battle Of Mirbat |
11/1(+50%) | (11) Battle Of Mirbat 11/1, Outpaced but ran to the level of current form when fourth, beaten 15l, in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Punchestown last time; effective at 3m though not the force of old. 2-21 over fences, 3lb below last winning mark, decent run latest, each-way shout. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (10/1 -25%)Onethreefivenotout |
10/1(-25%) | (7) Onethreefivenotout 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m2f at Fontwell last time; returns from a break with a significant jockey booking; showing progress over fences. H'cap chase winner for Paul Nicholls, new yard, preferred by Kennedy, check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (7/2 +59%)Ceanndana |
7/2(+59%) | (3) Ceanndana 7/2, Ran to form when back hurdling, beaten 1/2l off 113 over 2m7f at Punchestown last time; capable when eased in class. 2-9 over fences, fine run over timber latest, big player once the ground doesn't soften. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (6/1 +8%)Midnight Moonshine |
6/1(+8%) | (13) Midnight Moonshine 6/1, Still below hurdles form when beaten 2l off 102 at Fairyhouse last time; effective up to 3m on decent ground; up in the weights but down in trip. Just 2l behind Clonbury Bridge on latest, same mark here but soft would be a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (16/1 +0%)Whateys Quest |
16/1(+0%) | (10) Whateys Quest 16/1, Outpaced and possibly found the ground too quick when down the field in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Galway last time; returns from a short break and prefers some cut in the ground. Raised 11lb for Limerick win last December, may have needed latest, check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (14/1 -65%)Clonbury Bridge |
14/1(-65%) | (5) Clonbury Bridge 14/1, Improved when back chasing, jumping well to land a handicap by 1 1/2l off 110 at Fairyhouse last time; trainer in form; effective up to 3m and handles yielding and good ground; 5lb rise looks fair. Won on latest at Fairyhouse, raised 5lb, will need a career best to follow up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (16) (11/1 +31%)Stretchemout |
11/1(+31%) | (16) Stretchemout 11/1, Below form on switch to handicap chases when fourth, beaten 34l, in a handicap chase at Downpatrick last time; effective at 2m5f and handles yielding and good ground; needs to bounce back. Sligo beginners' win on penultimate, no show on h'cap debut, needs more off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (10/1 +17%)Clonmeen |
10/1(+17%) | (8) Clonmeen 10/1, Ran to form on first outing since the spring, beaten 3 1/2l off 112 at Fairyhouse last time; usually held up; effective up to 3m and handles heavy and yielding ground; fair return off this mark and can go well. C&D winner, sharper for pleasing latest run at Fairyhouse, big chance if the rain comes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (14/1 +0%)Tonaghneave Well |
14/1(+0%) | (2) Tonaghneave Well 14/1, Never settled and was comfortably held in a beginners' chase over 2m2f at Sligo last time; effective from 2m to 2½m, looks high in the weights over hurdles, and needs a drop in grade over fences. 129-rated hurdler, beginners' efforts modest, stamina to prove on h'cap chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (6) (10/3 +26%)Nastya |
10/3(+26%) | (6) Nastya 10/3, Made mistakes but ran to form when winning a beginners' chase at Killarney over 2m7f by 2 1/2l last time; tongue-tie applied for the first time; effective at 3m on decent ground and progressing. Course winner, form of Killarney win has taken knocks but respected on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (15) (12/1 +45%)Le Grand Vert |
12/1(+45%) | (15) Le Grand Vert 12/1, Made too much use of the pace and was comfortably held in a handicap chase at Downpatrick last time; well treated on old form and prefers some ease in the ground. Won off 1lb higher at Ayr in March, best on soft ground, chance if rain comes. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (18/1 +64%)Marronstown |
18/1(+64%) | (14) Marronstown 18/1, Returned to hurdling and again ran well below form when down the field in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last time; remains a progressive type. 2lb below last win but has lost way since good C&D run in January, needs a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (18) (33/1 +34%)Rust To Riches |
33/1(+34%) | (18) Rust To Riches 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; returns from a break and is difficult to fancy. 0-13 over fences, pulled up when last seen in July, hard to fancy; reserve. |

A relatively unexposed sort for leading connections, NASTYA impressed when getting off the mark over fences at Killarney last month and a mark of 114 on her handicap debut could underestimate her ability. The six-year-old gets the vote ahead of the more experienced Clonbury Bridge, who returned to winning ways with a taking performance at Fairyhouse last month, for which he has been raised 5lb. Two lengths behind him on that occasion was the consistent Midnight Moonshine (third), who is likely to be thereabouts again, as well as Brucejack and Ceanndana.

1st (2) (11/4 -57%)Envoi Allen |
11/4(-57%) | (2) Envoi Allen 11/4, A nine-time Grade 1 winner who landed this race in 2022 and 2024. Ran to form but was no match for a younger classy winner when 18l third in the Ryanair Chase (Grade 1) over 2m5f at Cheltenham last time; the pick on balance of form given good record fresh. Winner of this race in 2022 and 2024, just touched off in 2023; major player again. |

2nd (1) (9/2 +68%)Affordale Fury |
9/2(+68%) | (1) Affordale Fury 9/2, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. Finished second, beaten 4 1/4l, in the PWC Champion Chase (Grade 2) over 2m4f at Gowran Park last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m, best at 3m; more to come over fences now he's over his issues. Gowran comeback second augurs well; return to 3m to suit but good bit more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/4 +50%)Western Fold |
9/4(+50%) | (7) Western Fold 9/4, From a yard that has won two of the last five runnings. Won the PWC Champion Chase (Grade 2) over 2m4f at Gowran Park by 4 1/4l last time. Hugely progressive between 2 1/2m and 3m, form has been franked and he looks worth a try at the top level. Tremendously progressive 6yo novice a danger to all if ground doesn't become too soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (2/1 +64%)Found A Fifty |
2/1(+64%) | (4) Found A Fifty 2/1, A dual Grade 1 winner from a yard that has won two of the last five renewals. Keen but improved back up in trip when winning the Jack McInerney Memorial Fairyhouse Chase (Grade 2) over 2m4f by 3/4l last time. Top jockey returns to ride; consistent performer but stamina to prove High-class at 2m4f, major chance of staying this longer trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (300/1 -100%)Flash Collonges |
300/1(-100%) | (3) Flash Collonges 300/1, Never travelled and did not handle the track when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Downpatrick last time. Returning from a break and has it all to do. Useful sort for Paul Nicholls early in his career; completely out of his depth here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Envoi Allen won this in 2022 before regaining his crown 12 months ago and the classy 11-year-old merits the utmost respect. However, dual Grade 1 winner SPILLANE'S TOWER looks the most viable alternative. He was no match for Galopin Des Champs in the Punchestown Gold Cup when last seen, but the progressive seven-year-old doesn't face as tall an order today and, if official ratings are taken at face value, he ought to go close. Improving Galway Plate hero Western Fold and his stablemate Found A Fifty complete the shortlist.

Providing the ground doesn't soften appreciably it could pay to side with the novice WESTERN FOLD

1st (3) (8/11 +13%)Firefox |
8/11(+13%) | (3) Firefox 8/11, The yard has landed the last three editions of this race. Improved when stepped up in trip, finishing second, beaten 4½l, in the WillowWarm Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Fairyhouse last time. Likes to race up front; top jockey returns; both speed and form selection. Smart hurdler, good run in Gr 1 when last seen in April, soft fine, 2-2 at this track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/4 +32%)Gorgeous Tom |
9/4(+32%) | (2) Gorgeous Tom 9/4, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings. Below form when fourth, beaten 32l, in the Champion Novice Chase (Grade 1) over 3m1f at Punchestown latest. Has more to offer and worth another try at 3m. Grade 3 win at Cork last season, solid Gr 1 runs in defeat after, go well if rain misses. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 +38%)Croke Park |
4/1(+38%) | (1) Croke Park 4/1, Winner of two Grade 1s; the yard has taken this race for the last three years. Needed the run when 16l third in the BetVictor Chase (Grade 3) over 2m7f at Punchestown last time. Likes to race prominently and is effective from 2½–3m; should improve for that reappearance. Smart novice form last year, below best on return at Punchestown, Kennedy deserts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (80/1 +20%)Rockstown Girl |
80/1(+20%) | (5) Rockstown Girl 80/1, Not far off her best when second, beaten 3l, in a novice chase over 2m2f at Cork last time. The trainer is in form. Effective around 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground, but she runs out of her grade in this. Beaten by a 108-rated rival in a Cork novice latest, this looks too demanding. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (300/1 -20%)Ivar The Boneless |
300/1(-20%) | (4) Ivar The Boneless 300/1, Made too much use of and finished down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Returns from a long layoff and faces a tough task here. 0-15 and rated 82 over fences, out of his depth in this company. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

FIREFOX couldn't get his head in front after making a winning debut over fences at this meeting 12 months ago, but he ran well in defeat plenty of times. That includes a close third to the reopposing Croke Park in the Drinmore and he is 10lb better off with that rival here. The seven-year-old is heavily favoured at these weights and he should be capable of taking advantage. Gorgeous Tom could also reverse the Drinmore form with Croke Park and pose the biggest threat to the selection.

FIREFOX won a beginners' over C&D first time out last season and he is taken to maintain his unbeaten record at this venue

1st (1) (10/11 +60%)Ballyfad |
10/11(+60%) | (1) Ballyfad 10/11, 175,000 euros Tirwanako gelding; half-brother to Time For Heroes, who was moderate at 16f. Trained by a top handler and a point winner. The yard won this race last year. Bought for E175,000 after point win in April, market can guide as to expectations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 +70%)Lexington Wood |
3/1(+70%) | (4) Lexington Wood 3/1, Improved on debut when fourth, beaten 12l, in a 4yo bumper over 2m at Punchestown latest. Returning from a break and acts on good to yielding ground, but needs more in this stronger contest. Both starts at Punchestown, respectable fourth there latest, needs to improve further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/4 +73%)Dubhain |
11/4(+73%) | (3) Dubhain 11/4, Made a promising start when winning by 1/2l in a 3m maiden at Loughanmore on debut. A contender on that evidence. Loughanmore point winner in April, yard's runners respected here, check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (33/1 -65%)Paymelater |
33/1(-65%) | (5) Paymelater 33/1, Raced a bit too freely when comfortably held in a Ladies bumper over 2m at Tramore last time. Effective at 2m on good ground but lacks consistency. 0-8 in bumpers, 3rd at Bellewstown in July, below that level since, forecast rain a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (300/1 -200%)Wild Ridge |
300/1(-200%) | (8) Wild Ridge 300/1, Yet to show any real ability and returns from a short break. Hard to recommend at present. Heavy defeat and pulled up in both maiden hurdle starts, hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (16/1 +36%)Pedro The Poet |
16/1(+36%) | (6) Pedro The Poet 16/1, 3,500 euros Poet's Word gelding; half-brother to Killycarn, who was very useful over 24f. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Poet's Word gelding, dam unraced, tongue tied for debut and best watched. |

Gordon Elliott has won nine of the last 10 renewals and can strike again, with his expensive point-to-point recruits WITH NOLIMIT and Ballyfad standing out as the most plausible contenders. The latter was a visually impressive winner on the Fairyhouse point-to-point course in April and must be taken seriously. However, the former's 10-length romp in a similar event at Liscarroll is hard to ignore and he shades it as the pick of the Gigginstown Stud-owned pair. The fellow point winner, Dubhain, is another to keep a close eye on.

Gordon Elliott runs With Nolimit and BALLYFAD and narrow preference is for the latter, though the market should reveal plenty

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.
