Fourth on handicap debut last time was a remote one, more needed off 1lb lower.
4	16 4th (16) (66/1 -65%) Give Her Hollie		66 66/1(-65%)																															(16) Give Her Hollie 66/1, Made too much use of when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Thurles most recently; blinkers on for the first time; out of form in both codes.

Sole win off 5lb higher in 2022, no show in two starts after long layoff, watch.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 -40%) Kingdom Calling		14 14/1(-40%)																															(6) Kingdom Calling 14/1, May have found the ground too testing when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recently; effective at 2m on soft or good ground; fair mark on maiden form though conditions remain a concern.

8th	2 8th (2) (18/1 +18%) Monroes Hollow		18 18/1(+18%)																															(2) Monroes Hollow 18/1, Found nil and ran below form when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick most recently; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective over 2m but tailed off when last seen.

Flat winner, beaten 9.5l on h'cap debut in August, 3lb drop not enough to tempt.
11th	5 11th (5) (4/1 +27%) The Toothpicker		4 4/1(+27%)																															(5) The Toothpicker 4/1, Ran to form, just tiring late on testing ground when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m; on a fair mark and in fair form. Decent efforts both completed starts for this yard, drops in trip, not taken lightly.

No show in maidens or first two h'caps, still early days but best watched for now.
15th	4 15th (4) (22/1 -144%) Letters To Juliet		22 22/1(-144%)																															(4) Letters To Juliet 22/1, Reportedly coughing when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Listowel last time; effective over 2m on good ground; consistent until latest effort. Won at Bellewstown in April, came up short off revised mark twice since, may need this.
16th	9 16th (9) (22/1 -22%) Ballinearla Girl		22 22/1(-22%)																															(9) Ballinearla Girl 22/1, Made mistakes and found the ground too testing when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cork most recently; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on good ground; still early days and could bounce back.

13	13 |RO| (13) (15/2 +38%) Centaq		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(13) Centaq 15/2, Outpaced and never threatened when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Thurles most recently; effective at 2m1f and may do better over slightly further; was in form until his latest couple of runs. Best form at Downpatrick, soundly beaten at Thurles last twice, others preferred.

A field of this size grants opportunities for each-way options to be considered. Back To Cali, Centaq and Boston Bobby all fit the bill as shortlist material based on their peak form, while Southey could go well if granted a run. However, the lightly-weighted Esticky End and THE TOOTHPICKER might shine brightest. The latter has dropped to a competitive rating and, a Wexford fall aside, has shown steady improvement in all three starts since returning from a lengthy absence. This may be within reach with another step forward.

A chance is taken on the bottom weight ESTICKY END who shaped like this sort of trip would suit when running on for fifth at Thurles

Gavin Cromwell has trained the last two winners and GLENASHLING in one to take seriously. He finished a close second at Punchestown on his penultimate start and looks to have strong claims in this company with a repeat. Supreme Jet posted a better effort when runner-up at Cork on only his second start over the larger obstacles. He looks a bigger threat than Swing Davis, who could prove best of her yard's three runners.

This trip raises questions for Glenashling so SUPREME JET gets the vote after his promising effort at Cork last month

1	1 1st (1) (3/1 -9%) I A Connect		3 3/1(-9%)																															(1) I A Connect 3/1, Ran to form when finishing 8l third in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse, well placed in a race dominated from the front; weak finisher but thrown in on recent hurdle form; can snap long losing run. Solid runs over timber last twice, rated 12lb lower over fences, could go well.

Beaten 26l on handicap chase debut, new cheekpieces and longer trip need to spark.
6th	16 6th (16) (33/1 +34%) Mastermind		33 33/1(+34%)																															(16) Mastermind 33/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective around 2½m on any ground; in moderate form and on a long losing run. 0-9 over fences, may have needed latest but needs to improve on previous chase efforts.

Mixed bag since 3m Ayr win in March, failed to complete last twice, others preferred.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 +38%) Bid Up		25 25/1(+38%)																															(10) Bid Up 25/1, Keen and made mistakes when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Thurles last time; form tailed off in that sphere and has a bit to find switched to fences. Dual-purpose maiden, modest hurdles form for two former yards, watch on chase debut.
8	8 |F| (8) (15/2 +53%) Walk In The Sea		7.5 15/2(+53%)																															(8) Walk In The Sea 15/2, Made mistakes and disappointed on chase debut when fourth, beaten 32l, in a beginners' chase at Tramore; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at around 2½m; needs more now switched to fences.

Disappointing since close third at Downpatrick in July, this trip looks on the sharp side.
13	13 |PU| (13) (25/1 -25%) Younowhatimean		25 25/1(-25%)																															(13) Younowhatimean 25/1, Didn't handle the ground and finished down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; should come on for that but unreliable 0-22 under Rules, 0-4 in chases, out of form over timber recently, hard to fancy.

It looks best to side with DUCE BIGALOW, who put a lacklustre chasing effort behind him to fill the runner-up spot at Naas. Seamus Neville's charge has much less to prove than many on that evidence and, should stepping up in trip be beneficial, he could go one place better. Baltinglass Hill has been running well in defeat of late and is expected to be thereabouts again, while others to note include I A Connect and Walk In The Sea.

Narrow preference is for I A CONNECT who may be able to exploit his 12lb lower chase mark after two solid recent runs over hurdles

Con's Roc ran out an easy winner at Fairyhouse last month and remains open to plenty of improvement being so lightly raced for his age. However, he comes up against the toughest opposition in his career to date, with 2023 hero ITS ON THE LINE likely to come out on top. Having finished runner-up for the second consecutive year at Cheltenham, he made it back-to-back victories at Punchestown and arrives here following a run in the pointing sphere. The Goffer and Willitgoahead appear to be a formidable team for Gordon Elliott and they enter calculations too.

It could pay to overlook the established hunters in favour of THE GOFFER who reverts from the cross-country category

Master Haku finished a good way clear of the third when just touched off at Cork and commands respect on his first outing in this sphere. Long Goodbye produced an encouraging effort when second at Thurles in October and is noted, but the vote goes to BOYCETOWN. Gavin Cromwell's gelding shaped with lots of promise when filling the runner-up spot at Punchestown and with any amount of improvement to come, he looks the way to go.

It might be worth chancing MOON SKY whose Listowel form is working out nicely and he could take a big step forward from that outing

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.
