LTO Selection:

Law Ella travelled well when finding only one too good at Punchestown in February, but she has proved expensive to follow in the past and it may pay to take Gavin Cromwell's mare on once more. The stoutly-bred SMOOTH PLAYER ran his best race over timber to date when runner-up over 2m at Navan and he's fancied to shed his maiden tag over obstacles now faced with a stiffer test. Ottizzini has posted some creditable efforts in defeat of late and is another to note in these calmer waters.

LAW ELLA impressed with the way she travelled at Punchestown last time and can make it fifth time lucky over hurdles, perhaps at the main expense of Ottizzini who acquitted herself well in listed company last time. The shortlist is completed by Gordon Elliott's Navan runner-up Smooth Player.

It didn't look like LAW ELLA was lacking in stamina when second over a similar trip at Punchestown last time and she can go one better

LTO Selection:

Ballyquin Bay makes both his seasonal and handicap debut off what could prove a workable mark and Gordon Elliott's charge isn't taken lightly. WINDING RIVER, however, posted two improved bids over fences since his last appearance over the smaller obstacles and the six-year-old could take some beating if given a similarly positive ride in this sphere. Ballyglass Beauty weakened into third in the latter stages over 2m7f at Thurles last month, his first appearance for 89 days, and he also merits respect now eased slightly in distance.

WINDING RIVER was in good form over fences when last seen and, if tuned up, he looks fairly treated back over hurdles. Ballyquin Bay is lightly raced and could pose a threat, while Aliunde isn't without hope upped markedly in trip.

Open enough but it could be the turn of the consistent BALLYGLASS BEAUTY, with Fruit Blossom and Winding River likely dangers

5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +68%) Gamigin	16 16/1(+68%)	(8) Gamigin 16/1, 18/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20f, heavy) 16 days ago. Hooded for 1st time.

7th	5 7th (5) (4.5/1 -13%) Trishknowsbest	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(5) Trishknowsbest 4.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in October. Tailed-off fifth of 6 to Magic Daze in listed chase (250/1) at Naas (16f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles.
8th	12 8th (12) (33/1 +67%) Tenth Amendment	33 33/1(+67%)	(12) Tenth Amendment 33/1, 50/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (16f) 46 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last hurdle outing. Engaged 4.15 Bellewstown Saturday.

4	4 \|U\| (4) (4.5/1 -35%) Tipp For Mac	4.5 4.5/1(-35%)	(4) Tipp For Mac 4.5/1, 11/8, good third of 10 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16f, soft) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Makes handicap hurdle debut.

LTO Selection:

The booking of Rachel Blackmore for TIPP FOR MAC catches the eye and the six-year-old must hold every chance if building upon a career-best effort when placed at Clonmel. A mark of 102 on his handicap debut seems feasible and the 4lb he receives from Steppenwolf could prove crucial, with that gelding looking his main danger following a strong second at Fairyhouse in December. His stablemate Carlton Gardens is another to consider, along with C&D winners Trishknowsbest and I Don't Get It.

TIPP FOR MAC was a good third in a novice at Clonmel last time and looks open to improvement, so he's preferred to Steppenwolf, who arrives on the back of an excellent run at Fairyhouse. Warm In Gorey is also considered.

Handicap debutant TIPP FOR MAC is taken to get off the mark, although he could face stiff opposition from Steppenwolf

4	9 4th (9) (5/1 -11%) Circus Act	5 5/1(-11%)	(9) Circus Act 5/1, Winner in hurdle at Hereford in February. Second of 4 in novice hurdle (4/5) at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 30 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 -100%) Queenie Newall	22 22/1(-100%)	(6) Queenie Newall 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 10f on flat. Third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 18/1). Off 13 months. Open to progress.

8th	8 8th (8) (5/1 +75%) Park Hind	5 5/1(+75%)	(8) Park Hind 5/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. Respectable seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16f, soft, 13/2) 31 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Enters calculations.
9th	4 9th (4) (40/1 +39%) Harvest Bow	40 40/1(+39%)	(4) Harvest Bow 40/1, 100/1, eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f), not knocked about. Switches from Flat to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving C. Moore. Poor on last hurdle run.
10	10 \|F\| (10) (6/1 +76%) Glen Na Tara	6 6/1(+76%)	(10) Glen Na Tara 6/1, Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, good, 40/1) 28 days ago.

LTO Selection:

The value may lie with CIRCUS ACT, who has not been outside the first three in her last five starts and was narrowly denied by a subsequent winner at Doncaster last month. The step up in trip may only aid her cause and the daughter of Buratino is preferred to stablemates Queenie Newall and Soldaro, both of whom arrive with decent enough claims. Return To Base has yet to back up the form of her maiden hurdle win at Punchestown last May but she is not one to dismiss, while Bella Bliss is also considered.

CIRCUS ACT has found some improvement of late and gets a narrow vote in this competitive handicap. Gavin Cromwell saddles a couple of interesting contenders in Soldaro and the returning Queenie Newall, while Gordon Elliott's Jenny Flex strikes as a likely improver in handicaps.

Gavin Cromwell holds a strong hand here, with QUEENIE NEWALL preferred to Soldaro

LTO Selection:

The step up to this extreme trip could work the oracle for MALINA GIRL, a daughter of Malinas, who has had progeny that have excelled over three miles-plus. Gavin Cromwell's mare was really consistent until struggling in a hot Leopardstown handicap, and decent ground looks another plus. Fakiera has been set some stiff assignments, while My Design has scope for improvement on just her third run over fences. Punitive beat Fakiera in the Porterstown in December so is a guaranteed stayer, with The Dabbler, The Jam Man and Wa Wa others to note.

MY DESIGN has taken really well to chasing and looks potentially well-in switched to a handicap. Mercury Lane left his previous efforts in this sphere well behind when landing a gamble in a maiden chase at Wexford and bettered that when second in a handicap there 2 days ago, while Wa Wa returns to chasing on the back of 2 big-field wins over hurdles.

The selection is local hope ARCHIES CHARM who's been running with credit against well-handicapped rivals and may be able to last home

LTO Selection:

SHES SOME DOLL can gain a deserved victory here. The Yeats mare has had some jumping issues but has run well on her last couple of starts, most recently when second to Motown Maggie at Navan early last month. She was just pipped close home then and off a pound higher mark must have a big shout of gaining compensation. So Ladylike has a feather weight in this with Shane O'Callaghan taking a valuable 7lb off and she could be a danger. Another daughter of Yeats, she ran really well on her penultimate outing when chasing home Ocean Legacy over fences at Wexford. Full Noise has been out of form recently but market moves would be interesting off a lowly mark.

INDIE BELLE returns to chasing for the first time since her Tramore maiden success in December and gets the nod for Robert Widger. Shes Some Doll rates an obvious danger on the back of last month's Navan second. Philip Rothwell has twice tasted success in this race in recent years so it would also be no surprise to see Agirlcalledchloe go well.

The most prudent option looks to be the in-form SHES SOME DOLL (nap), who seems to have got her jumping sorted

LTO Selection:

CUSTERS MISTAKE had some decent 'track' form a couple of years ago and could prove the pick here after a couple of wins in point-to-points. The Zoffany gelding was only beaten a head in a Roscommon maiden hurdle back in September 2021 and was also placed a couple of times over fences. He has struck twice having had his sights lowered in point-to-points this year and this looks a winnable opportunity now back on the racecourse. Shantou Snow is a potential improver and could be the danger. He took a maiden at Kirkistown in February on his second start and that form has been boosted since with the runner-up going on to score by a wide margin back at the same venue. Faith Loving has some good point-to-point form and this is a lot easier than the hunters chase he ran in at Fairyhouse, behind the exciting Ferns Lock. He could get involved at the business end this time.

SHANTOU SHOW opened his account in points at the second attempt and might well be able to go in again in a weak hunter. Custers Mistake looks the main danger ahead of Ahaknowyerself.

Probably about half of these have a life but CUSTERS MISTAKE, not too shabby under Rules in the past, comes here on a roll
