11:40 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 20f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (6/4 -124%) Mossy Fen Park	1.5 6/4(-124%)	(9) Mossy Fen Park 6/4, Promising individual. 3/1, second of 19 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, soft) on NH debut 31 days ago. Winning pointer who looks the one to beat. Big money purchase after point win, fired a warning sign on hurdles debut, major contender.
2	13 2nd (13) (25/1 +62%) Joya Del Mar	25 25/1(+62%)	(13) Joya Del Mar 25/1, Fourth of 11 in bumper (25/1) at this course (16.9f, soft) 45 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Still looked green when fourth in a bumper here latlely, handy but this looks tough.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/4 +65%) Great Universe	1.75 7/4(+65%)	(3) Great Universe 7/4, Untrustworthy individual. Excellent third of 17 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy, 11/2) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Former wide margin bumper winner, solid run recent debut over h'dls at Clonmel, big shout.
4	5 4th (5) (9/2 +68%) Annaghbeg	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(5) Annaghbeg 9/2, Twice-raced maiden. 2/1, second of 8 in novice hurdle at Ayr (21.4f, soft) 15 days ago, just failing. Cheekpieces on 1st time and he's one to consider. Stable well represented but looks the strongest of their trio, good course form, a player.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -257%) Al Kalila	50 50/1(-257%)	(4) Al Kalila 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 26 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 17 days ago. Up in trip. 50's when a moderate ninth of a well stacked field on debut over hurdles, work to do.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/2 -56%) He's Ultimate	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(7) He's Ultimate 7/2, Promising individual. 16/1, fourth of 25 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) on NH debut 17 days ago. Up in trip and more to come for top yard. Fourth behind stable companion (Champion Novice hopeful) Caldwell Potter at Navan, classy.
7th	10 7th (10) (80/1 -21%) One And Only	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) One And Only 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fell in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) 40 days ago fell 4 out, too far out to suggest outcome. Up in trip. 125-1 shot on recent visit to Punchestown where he packed his bags four from home, risky.
8th	8 8th (8) (150/1 -733%) Mister Vic	150 150/1(-733%)	(8) Mister Vic 150/1, First run since leaving Barry Fitzgerald when sixth of 9 in bumper (22/1) at Sligo (18f, soft) 60 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Has shown ability but will need to raise his game to a whole new level to come up trumps.
9th	2 9th (2) (200/1 -150%) Feast	200 200/1(-150%)	(2) Feast 200/1, Winner in bumper at Downpatrick in July. 150/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 7 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy) 32 days ago. Massive price bumper winner has failed to show much in two starts over hurdles, all to do.
10th	11 10th (11) (250/1 -279%) Renard De Noir	250 250/1(-279%)	(11) Renard De Noir 250/1, Sixteenth of 25 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Respectable on debut, backwards step on second start, stable has stronger cards to play.
11th	6 11th (6) (200/1 -100%) Citizen Dan	200 200/1(-100%)	(6) Citizen Dan 200/1, 100/1, seventh of 10 in bumper at Clonmel (16.4f, heavy) on NH debut 47 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. 100's when put firmly in his place on his debut at Clonmel, not jumping off the page.
12th	1 12th (1) (200/1 -700%) Ballycairn	200 200/1(-700%)	(1) Ballycairn 200/1, Winner in bumper at Leopardstown in December 2020. Off over 2 years having finished third over hurdles at Perth. First run for yard after leaving Mrs Denise Foster. Promising in his early days but has clearly had his problems, debuts for a new yard here.

LTO Selection:

MOSSY FEN PARK ran with a considerable amount of promise when runner-up to a smart type of Willie Mullins' at Punchestown on his Rules debut. Without a rival of that calibre in the line-up, Henry de Bromhead's gelding has been found a fine opportunity to go one better. Great Universe may benefit from a sounder surface following his hurdling bow and is expected to be in the mix, while He's Ultimate and Annaghbeg are also noted.

Winning pointer MOSSY FEN PARK showed plenty to work on when second at Punchestown last month and with the prospect of more to come, he can go one place better. Annaghbeg and the quirky Great Universe are the main dangers.

Gordon Elliott has won this with Gerri Colombe and The Storyteller in the past and HE's ULTIMATE can follow in their foot steps here

11:40 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:13 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 17f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +0%) The Other Mozzie	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) The Other Mozzie 4/1, Improved on debut form after 6 months off when second of 9 in a bumper (7/2) at Galway (16.4f, heavy) in October, no match for winner. Stiff task at Fairyhouse last time and should be up to making his presence felt in a race of this nature over hurdles. Bit disappointing on latest; needs more to take this on hurdles bow but could find it.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 +31%) Bleu D'enfer	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(2) Bleu D'enfer 11/4, Fair maiden hurdler who ran much better than on his chasing debut when second in 8-runner maiden at Punchestown (15.6f) 40 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Solid claims returned to the smaller obstacles. Local runner's 7l fourth at Navan in March gives him big chance; went chasing last month.
3	8 3rd (8) (4/1 -167%) Purse Price	4 4/1(-167%)	(8) Purse Price 4/1, Fair maiden hurdler who was in the process of running well when unseating rider in maiden at Clonmel (16.4f, heavy, 13/2) 47 days ago. Trainer going well and ought to go close if none the worse. Unseated latest at Clonmel but had given fine account up until then; chance for top yard.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 -125%) Time For Tea	9 9/1(-125%)	(6) Time For Tea 9/1, Showed a bit more than first time up when sixth of 19 in maiden at Punchestown (19.4f, soft) 31 days ago. Yard having good spell. Likely to improve again. RPRs about 84 in maidens (soft), 40s on latest; respect for yard the main positive.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 +29%) Mount Frisco	20 20/1(+29%)	(3) Mount Frisco 20/1, Modest in bumpers/over hurdles and ran to a similar level when fifth of 8 on Clonmel chasing debut 19 days ago. Quickly back over hurdles. Went chasing latest, that a bright start; maiden hurdles form falls a little short here.
6th	4 6th (4) (28/1 +0%) One Way Traffic	28 28/1(+0%)	(4) One Way Traffic 28/1, Modest at best in bumpers and well held completed starts over hurdles. Bumper runs in February proved he had a little ability; things went awry hurdling.
7th	9 7th (9) (66/1 -230%) Tankardstown Diva	66 66/1(-230%)	(9) Tankardstown Diva 66/1, Modest in bumpers and well held in a trio of maiden hurdles. Not devoid of promise so far but 100s or bigger in maidens and ran accordingly.
7	7 \|S\| (7) (2/1 +64%) Shoot Champagne	2 2/1(+64%)	(7) Shoot Champagne 2/1, Modest hurdler. Failed to repeat last effort when only seventh of 15 in maiden (9/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 45 days ago. Somewhat in and out, her Thurles second (soft) two runs back gives her some sort of chance.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (150/1 -436%) Parlour Of Dreams	150 150/1(-436%)	(5) Parlour Of Dreams 150/1, Has shown nothing both starts to date (bumper/maiden hurdle). Nothing either start; can hang.

LTO Selection:

The Other Mozzie is interesting on his hurdling debut given he boasts placed form in a bumper and in the point-to-point sphere. The market should tell us more, but BLEU D'ENFER might take all of the beating judged on his best form, which includes a close-up second over timber at Perth and a second over fences at Punchestown last time. Purse Price is another to take seriously for a top yard.

PURSE PRICE has proven expensive to follow but she was in the process of running well when unseating her rider on her most recent outing at Clonmel and can be given one more chance in a race that may not take a huge amount of winning. Bleu d'enfer and hurdling-debutant The Other Mozzie are considered the main threats.

A tricky maiden. BLUE D'ENFER has a somewhat unusual profile coming here but his rating (113) is fair and that may suffice now

12:13 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:48 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 17f - 19 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (9/2 +75%) Gamigin	4.5 9/2(+75%)	(13) Gamigin 9/2, Finally got off the mark over hurdles in 8-runner handicap (11/2) at Ayr (16f, soft) 15 days ago, leading on bridle approaching 2 out. Every chance off the same mark. Won at Ayr, something seemed to click then in the tongue tie and cheekpieces (retained).
2	9 2nd (9) (11/2 +83%) Malbas	5.5 11/2(+83%)	(9) Malbas 11/2, 16/1, possibly still needed run after a further 11 weeks off when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (15.9f, soft) 3 months ago. Tongue strap back on. Not taken lightly. Just one run since July 2023; 0-16 hurdling, he shaped OK on return, but another break.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/2 -13%) Gold Haven	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(8) Gold Haven 9/2, 11/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ran her best race when second of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy) 16 days ago, clear of rest. Expected to be bang there once again. Yard in fine form; so was she when going down fighting at Cork recently; blinkers retained.
4	11 4th (11) (13/2 -8%) St Denis's Well	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(11) St Denis's Well 13/2, Showed improved form to get off the mark in a first-time tongue strap after 7 months off in 22-runner handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 40/1) 37 days ago, well on top finish. 9 lb higher here but further progress not ruled out. Revelation under this rider for young trainer when scoring well at Navan last month.
5th	19 5th (19) (14/1 -56%) Be My Hero	14 14/1(-56%)	(19) Be My Hero 14/1, Remains a maiden after 19 NH runs. Bounced back to form when third of 17 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft, 11/2) 26 days ago, running on. Should go well again. Top yard's only runner; 0-19 but each-way chance; may prefer better ground.
6th	17 6th (17) (50/1 -100%) Jacenry	50 50/1(-100%)	(17) Jacenry 50/1, Well held in maiden hurdles but could have more to offer now handicapping. A little promise in maidens but probably best watched.
7th	18 7th (18) (10/1 +9%) Joker Du Chenet	10 10/1(+9%)	(18) Joker Du Chenet 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, 13¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Gamigin in handicap hurdle at Ayr (16f, soft) 15 days ago, spoiling his chance by hanging for the length of the straight. Well-held at Ayr behind Gamigin, so not sure why he should win this much better race.
8th	12 8th (12) (25/1 +24%) Stockdale	25 25/1(+24%)	(12) Stockdale 25/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Probably still in some form when fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, good) when last seen 20 months ago. Best watched given the absence. Has shown enough to win one of these but local yard quiet this term and layoff.
9th	1 9th (1) (14/1 -56%) Caoimhes Pet	14 14/1(-56%)	(1) Caoimhes Pet 14/1, Winner at Killarney in October. Bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 5 weeks ago. May prove best away from testing conditions. Shade below par last time but well-capable of good run for yard that had good year.
6	6 \|U\| (6) (66/1 -560%) Moulane West	66 66/1(-560%)	(6) Moulane West 66/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 28/1, last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.8f, heavy) 16 days ago. Has not gone on from early promising form; neither run this winter was encouraging.
10th	3 10th (3) (40/1 +20%) Falvio	40 40/1(+20%)	(3) Falvio 40/1, 28/1, fared no better when tailed-off twentieth of 22 to St Denis's Well in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. Chance on form earlier this year but not sure what to expect after shocker at Navan latest.
11th	20 11th (20) (40/1 -21%) Leylani	40 40/1(-21%)	(20) Leylani 40/1, Possibly needed the run after 11 months off when eleventh of 14 on handicap hurdle debut (20/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 3 months ago. Yard respected and, early days, well-bred mare one to keep eye on wagering as has ability.
12th	15 12th (15) (28/1 +15%) Simply Shabra	28 28/1(+15%)	(15) Simply Shabra 28/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 14/1, again ran below form when twelfth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 38 days ago. Not easy to make case for 8yo on this year's form.
13th	14 13th (14) (66/1 -100%) Lariat	66 66/1(-100%)	(14) Lariat 66/1, Ran better than previously without getting seriously involved when eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Navan (20f, heavy) 9 days ago. Just 2-68, maiden cannot be fancied on this year's efforts.
14th	5 14th (5) (66/1 -313%) Moneynabane	66 66/1(-313%)	(5) Moneynabane 66/1, Winner at Downpatrick in October. Has shown nothing since however, pulled up at Fairyhouse (16.1f, heavy) 10 days ago. Can lead; not sure where Downpatrick win in October came from, three shockers since.
15th	2 15th (2) (12/1 +40%) Glenmalure Flyer	12 12/1(+40%)	(2) Glenmalure Flyer 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, sixth of 15 on handicap hurdle debut at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 33 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Seemingly needs help from the handicapper. Inexperienced rider replaces Rachael Blackmore, who partnered mare so far; 25s last thrice.
16th	21 16th (21) (16/1 +52%) Flashthelights	16 16/1(+52%)	(21) Flashthelights 16/1, 20/1, twentieth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, good). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving S. McConville. RESERVE. First reserve; moved from one Ulster yard to another; has ability, so not ruled out.
17th	7 17th (7) (10/1 -200%) We'llgowats	10 10/1(-200%)	(7) We'llgowats 10/1, Unreliable type. Latest win at Gowran in September. Wasted no time getting back to form when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20f, heavy, 10/3) 39 days ago, not ideally placed. Can figure if on a going day. One of the more reliable and she should get good clip to sit off now; creeping up handicap.
18th	10 18th (10) (20/1 -186%) Baltinglass Hill	20 20/1(-186%)	(10) Baltinglass Hill 20/1, Third of 14 in handicap at Thurles (18.4f, soft, 16/1) on chasing debut 33 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. Enters calculations. Stable fine run; two good runs recent months, one over hurdles when second to Caoimhes Pet.

LTO Selection:

Gold Haven, a respectable second at Cork 16 days ago, and the competitively-weighted Be My Hero both rate as big players based on peak performances. Whereas Gamigin enters calculations running off the same mark as when he won a conditional jockeys' race at Ayr (Joker Du Chenet fifth) last time. Nevertheless, WE'LLGOWATS has held her form well sine winning at Gowran Park in September and, after a near miss at Wexford last month, her proven consistency earns her the nod.

Plenty in with chances but preference if for GOLD HAVEN, who ran her best race sporting first-time blinkers when finishing runner-up at Cork earlier this month and, provided the headgear works just as well a second time, Paul Flynn's 5-y-o can go a place better at the expense of Gamigin, who finally got off the mark at Ayr recently and races from the same mark here. St Denis's Well, Malbas and Baltinglass Hill are another trio worth keeping an eye on.

ST DENIS'S WELL clicked for his young trainer and Caragh Monaghan at Navan. He is greatly respected. Note the betting

12:48 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:23 Down Royal Maiden Chase 20f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (15/8 -25%) Ask Anything	1.875 15/8(-25%)	(1) Ask Anything 15/8, Promising type. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 11/8, second of 8 in novice chase at Clonmel (16.8f, heavy) on debut over fences 19 days ago, needing stiffer test. Expected to be bang there. Costly peck at the back of the second last at Clonmel recently, trip to suit, big shout.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 -129%) Joshua Webb	8 8/1(-129%)	(5) Joshua Webb 8/1, Fairly useful chaser. Second of 14 in novice chase at Cork (21f, soft, 40/1) 30 days ago. Blinkers back on. Respected. 40-1 shot at Cork lately but bounced right back to form with a good run in second spot.
3	12 3rd (12) (7/2 +30%) Jumping Jet	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(12) Jumping Jet 7/2, Promising individual. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Third of 7 in novice chase (8/1) at Cork (21f, soft) on debut over fences 30 days ago. Stable having good spell. Merits consideration. Jumping left a bit to be desired at Cork but if she has tidied up her game, has a squeak.
4	11 4th (11) (9/1 +55%) De Lady In Red	9 9/1(+55%)	(11) De Lady In Red 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler but well held both starts over fences. Two poor runs over fences so far leaves her with a mountain to climb, lots to prove.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 +72%) Atacanter	14 14/1(+72%)	(2) Atacanter 14/1, Fair hurdler. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22f, heavy, 9/1) 37 days ago. Makes chase debut. No world beater over hurdles (0-10); could find this more to his taste but taken on.
6th	13 6th (13) (22/1 -38%) Soldaro	22 22/1(-38%)	(13) Soldaro 22/1, Fair hurdler. Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. 125/1, running below form when unseated rider in novice chase at Punchestown (18.9f, soft) 31 days ago. Progressive earlier in the year over hurdles but yet to show much chasing, second string.
7th	8 7th (8) (16/1 -33%) Marronstown	16 16/1(-33%)	(8) Marronstown 16/1, Fair hurdler. 28/1, below form ninth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.4f, soft) 30 days ago. Makes chase debut. Hooded for 1st time. Picked up two wins in 'Points' but failed to set the track alight hurdling, work cut out.
8th	7 8th (7) (17/2 -55%) Macdermott	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(7) Macdermott 17/2, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 9/1, sixth of 14 in novice chase at Cork (21f, soft) on debut over fences 30 days ago. Stable having good spell. Open to progress. Tramore maiden winner probably needed it when sixth on intro to chasing at Cork, noted.
9th	3 9th (3) (16/1 -60%) Carrig Rock	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Carrig Rock 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Eleventh of 14 in novice chase (14/1) at Cork (21f, soft) 30 days ago. Not taken lightly. Solid run on debut over fences at Fairyhouse, failed to back it up at Cork, vulnerable.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (200/1 -203%) One Of Us Is Lying	200 200/1(-203%)	(9) One Of Us Is Lying 200/1, Modest hurdler. 200/1, pulled up in novice chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, heavy) 10 days ago, weakening when bad mistake 5 out. Back up in trip. Nothing to offer as yet in the way of form and will be one of the rank outsiders here.
10th	4 10th (4) (33/1 -18%) Dontlettheoldmanin	33 33/1(-18%)	(4) Dontlettheoldmanin 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 4/1). Off 11 months. Makes chase debut. Up in trip. Modest over hurdles; will be well drilled but chasing needs to see him in a better light.
11th	6 11th (6) (66/1 +0%) Justicialism	66 66/1(+0%)	(6) Justicialism 66/1, Fair chaser. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Fell in novice chase (150/1) at Fairyhouse (16.5f, heavy) on debut over fences 32 days ago. Back up in trip. 150-1 at Fairyhouse where jumping came unstuck in the latter stages, no room for errors.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (9/1 +25%) The Gradual Slope	9 9/1(+25%)	(10) The Gradual Slope 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. 20/1, pulled up in novice chase at Cork (21f, soft) on debut over fences 30 days ago. Won a novice hurdle here and capable of upping his game but far too speculative.

LTO Selection:

Gordon Elliott has a solid record in this contest, so it might be worth siding with JUMPING JET, who looks set to improve having been far from disgraced on her fencing bow last time. She shades preference over Ask Anything, who arrives following an excellent second at Clonmel over 2m1f, and he will appreciate a step up in trip. Macdermott (sixth) finished behind Joshua Webb (second) when the pair met at Cork last month, but the former could close the gap with that experience under his belt.

ASK ANYTHING shaped well considering the drop back in trip was very much against him when second on chase bow at Clonmel 3 weeks ago and can go one better over this longer distance. Jumping Jet should come on for his chase debut and is next best ahead of Joshua Webb.

This looks a good opportunity for ASK ANYTHING. Second at Clonmel on debut over fences lately, the extra yardage here looks ideal

13:23 Down Royal Maiden Chase 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:58 Down Royal Handicap Chase 20f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (6/1 +0%) Eagle Terrace	6 6/1(+0%)	(5) Eagle Terrace 6/1, Latest win in chase at Cartmel in July. 9/1, fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Ayr (24.1f, soft) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. One of the more reliable here; needs to step up markedly on Ayr fourth; cheekpieces now.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/4 +0%) Evies Vladimir	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(3) Evies Vladimir 11/4, Lightly-raced winner in chases. 1 win from 1 run this season. 15/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Clonmel (20.4f, heavy) 47 days ago. Should progress. Good attitude to prevail on handicap debut at Clonmel, beating future winner; 11lb rise.
3	10 3rd (10) (11/1 +39%) Glenmalure Lodge	11 11/1(+39%)	(10) Glenmalure Lodge 11/1, One win from 27 NH runs. Winner in chase at Ballinrobe in September. 12/1, sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Thurles (22f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Pretty well-held since Ballinrobe success in September; probably best watched.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -54%) Shes Some Doll	10 10/1(-54%)	(2) Shes Some Doll 10/1, Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap chase (7/2) at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Pretty exposed but chance at her best if ready after 205-day break; ground versatile.
5th	9 5th (9) (25/1 -25%) Aliunde	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Aliunde 25/1, Twelfth of 14 in handicap chase (18/1) at Thurles (18.4f, soft) on debut over fences 33 days ago. Jumping clearly an issue based on Thurles struggle behind Finians Row.
6th	8 6th (8) (12/1 +25%) Ballydangan	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Ballydangan 12/1, 11/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24.4f, heavy) 35 days ago. Makes chase debut. Makes handicap chase debut. No chase experience and 0-8 in points so hard to be confident, eye-catching rider booking.
7th	13 7th (13) (7/1 +61%) I Don't Get It	7 7/1(+61%)	(13) I Don't Get It 7/1, Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in May. 40/1, last of 17 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 38 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Another who likes to lead; risky; only other chase run was dire (held up, last year)..
8th	1 8th (1) (8/1 -100%) Lar's Lass	8 8/1(-100%)	(1) Lar's Lass 8/1, Winner in chase at Cork in April. Very good second of 10 in hunter chase at Tipperary (23.8f, soft, 6/1), well ridden. Off 7 months. Makes handicap chase debut. Sets the benchmark. Top amateur booked; latest clearly a concern but she progressed markedly this year,.
9th	7 9th (7) (14/1 +0%) Finnians Row	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Finnians Row 14/1, One win from 26 NH runs. Winner in chase at Downpatrick in September. 16/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap chase at Thurles (18.4f, soft) 33 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Placed at Tramore; tame enough effort since suggests he's vulnerable.
10th	6 10th (6) (25/1 +24%) School Lane	25 25/1(+24%)	(6) School Lane 25/1, Course winner. 22/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap chase at Naas (16f, soft) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Course winner greatly feared at his best but nothing to take from three runs this year.
11th	11 11th (11) (25/1 -285%) Kilashee	25 25/1(-285%)	(11) Kilashee 25/1, Unreliable type. Two wins from 42 NH runs. Thirty one runs since last win in 2021. Below form tenth of 16 in handicap chase (10/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. An all-or nothing front-runner but she could go well if getting into a rhythm; improbable.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (11/2 +8%) Carrig Carol	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(4) Carrig Carol 11/2, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 5/1, bit below form fifth of 15 in novice chase at Tramore (21.4f, soft) 28 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Mare usually up with the pace, far from disgraced in maidens and rated higher over hurdles.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (50/1 -150%) Eltico	50 50/1(-150%)	(12) Eltico 50/1, 16/1, eighteenth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, heavy). Off 12 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. Hard to make a case for veteran not seen since last year.

LTO Selection:

EVIES VLADIMIR drew clear with a subsequent winner when opening his account over fences at Clonmel last month and an 11lb rise may not be enough to prevent the six-year-old from going in again. Lar's Lass posted some creditable efforts in hunter chases during the spring and her current mark in this sphere looks workable. The daughter of Ocovango is feared most ahead of I Don't Get It, who is racing off a significantly lower mark switching to chasing.

LAR'S LASS has proved a different proposition since switched to hunters so is potentially well treated back in a handicap. Evies Vladimir left previous form well behind when making a winning handicap bow back from 17 months off at Clonmel 7 weeks ago and is the obvious threat, Carrig Carrol best of the others.

Plenty of pace likely here. LAR'S LASS stays well and makes plenty of each-way appeal. Evies Vladimir was a game winner last time

14:33 Down Royal Hunter Chase 24f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (11/2 -38%) Its On The Line	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(4) Its On The Line 11/2, Useful chaser. 6/1, career best when winning 11-runner hunter chase at Punchestown (24f, good to soft) by a length from Vaucelet, going in snatches. Ran well in a point last time and should be on the premises. Good effort to beat Vaucelet at Punchestown, surprisingly 6s (he was second at Cheltenham).
2	3 2nd (3) (11/8 -106%) Ferns Lock	1.375 11/8(-106%)	(3) Ferns Lock 11/8, Lightly-raced winner in chases. 4/11, third of 5 in hunter chase at Fairyhouse (25.2f, good to soft), going with enthusiasm. Off 8 months. Won unchallenged in a point last month and has a tongue strap fitted now. Leading claims. Hammered Billaway in January; warmed up for this with easy win at Dromahane; tongue tie.
3	10 3rd (10) (12/1 +40%) Wowsham	12 12/1(+40%)	(10) Wowsham 12/1, Useful hurdler. 33/1 and blinkered for 1st time, very good second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24f, heavy) 9 months ago. Third to Ferns Lock in a point recently and unlikely to turn the tables. Decent hurdler won at Moira in October; held behind Ferns Lock at Dromahane, but ran well.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 -33%) Ramillies	12 12/1(-33%)	(6) Ramillies 12/1, Useful hurdler. Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 5/1, below form fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Killarney (26f, good to soft). Left Willie Mullins and already a multiple winning pointer for new yard, so big player. High-class for Willie Mullins, he was not at his best this year but took well to pointing.
5th	9 5th (9) (10/3 +67%) Vaucelet	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(9) Vaucelet 10/3, Useful chaser. C&D winner. Latest win in chase here in December. Creditable second of 10 in hunter chase (10/11) at Stratford (27.5f, good). Third in a point last time and deserves plenty of respect back in this sphere. Hot favourite at Cheltenham in March on back of previous form, incredible he is 0-5 since.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 +50%) Shantou Show	10 10/1(+50%)	(7) Shantou Show 10/1, Thrice-raced winner in chases. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Third of 7 in hunter chase at Downpatrick (28.7f, good to soft, 15/2). Off 7 months. Not discounted. Improved again behind Billaway and Vaucelet when last seen; place chance.
7th	1 7th (1) (40/1 -100%) Ask D'man	40 40/1(-100%)	(1) Ask D'man 40/1, Fairly useful chaser. Fifth of 6 in hunter chase at Fairyhouse (24.3f, heavy, 4/1) 32 days ago. Others more persuasive. Probably needed Fairyhouse return; hard to see him living with the best of these.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (10/1 +29%) The Bosses Oscar	10 10/1(+29%)	(8) The Bosses Oscar 10/1, Useful chaser. Creditable third of 6 in minor event hurdle (16/1) at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) 141 days ago. Winning pointer, runner-up last time (Nov 26). Respected. Smart hurdler took to pointing at Castletown-Geoghegan in October but three defeats since.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (28/1 -180%) Dom Dolo	28 28/1(-180%)	(2) Dom Dolo 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 8/1, first run since leaving Keith Henry Clarke when seventh of 18 in hunter chase at Naas (24.8f, heavy) on debut over fences, having hopeless task from position. Should do better. Return, second to high-class Samcro, was encouraging; Maguire rides again but this tough.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (200/1 -506%) Love And Wishes	200 200/1(-506%)	(5) Love And Wishes 200/1, First run since leaving R. K. Watson when eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 50/1). Off 9 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly up in trip. Had training problems; now lowly rated hurdling; pulled up in a point last time.

LTO Selection:

FERNS LOCK has only tasted defeat on one occasion so far in his career (three NH wins, three point victories) and he showed his ability once more when bolting up by over eight lengths in a point-to-point last month. The son of Telescope could prove very hard to beat today. The main threat might be Ramillies, who has won well between the flags on his last two starts and it would be no surprise to see him put it up to the selection. Its On The Line makes the most appeal of the remainder and he is more than capable on his day.

FERNS LOCK is the form pick and looked as good as ever in a point recently, so he's an obvious choice. His stablemates Vaucelet and Remillies are both dangers and Its One The Line's claims can't be ignored.

Vaucelet's losing run is nearly incredible and FERNS LOCK looks the logical one under Barry O'Neill. There are plenty of dangers

Difficult to oppose. Made nice start in a point and ran a cracker at Navan when splitting two well-fancied foes.
2	6 2nd (6) (22/1 -10%) Sporting Glory	22 22/1(-10%)	(6) Sporting Glory 22/1, Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to winning hurdler/useful chaser The Caddy Rose, stayed 25f, and fairly useful 2½m chase winner The Flier Begley, stays 2¾m.

3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +62%) Quint Major	2.5 5/2(+62%)	(5) Quint Major 5/2, Once-raced maiden. 10/1, second of 5 in bumper at this course (16.9f, soft) on NH debut 46 days ago. Needs to do more. 10s, ran into high-class Elliott runner when second here, two previous winners in arrears.
4	11 4th (11) (7/1 -155%) Lazy Bones	7 7/1(-155%)	(11) Lazy Bones 7/1, Champs Elysees filly. Closely related to fairly useful 21f hurdle winner Cedar Row. Represents top connections and makes plenty of appeal on paper. Top connections; rider's debut; closely related to point/hurdle winner Cedar Row.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 +9%) Fast Felix	5 5/1(+9%)	(1) Fast Felix 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Second of 19 in novice hurdle at this course (16.9f, soft, 25/1) on hurdles bow 45 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Tongue strap back on. Worth considering. Three solid efforts coming here, especially here latest hurdling debut (soft); vulnerable.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/1 +30%) Pay The Tab	7 7/1(+30%)	(4) Pay The Tab 7/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 25/1, third of 11 in bumper at this course (16.9f, soft) on bumper debut 45 days ago. Stable in good form. Latest 25s third here, race won by stablemate of Fast Felix; can race lazily.
7th	2 7th (2) (28/1 +44%) Helicon	28 28/1(+44%)	(2) Helicon 28/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in bumper (5/1) at Punchestown (16.9f, soft) on NH debut 30 days ago. 5s, led, tailed off at Punchestown; well-bred and surely better.

Wears tongue strap. Unplaced completed starts in points (latest Oct 21). Nothing in points; tongue tie.

LTO Selection:

MONGIBELLO displayed plenty of promise when second on her Rules debut at Navan last month and the daughter of Authorized could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Quint Major also hit the crossbar on his racecourse bow recently and has to be of interest, while Fast Felix is another with strong form claims. Lazy Bones is related to plenty of winners and is considered on her debut.

Given that MONGIBELLO was runner-up in a listed race on her first Rules outing, she should have enough to open her account in this lesser contest. That said, Lazy Bones is one to note on paper and will be well worth monitoring in the betting.

MONGIBELLO might be the form selection after very much running into one last time. The market will be fascinating

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.
