14:40 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (Evens +33%) Coole Cherry	0 Evens(+33%)	(2) Coole Cherry Evens, Promising sort. 3/1, good third of 12 in novice hurdle at Wexford (24f, soft) when last seen 10 months ago. Back down in trip and, with the promise of better to come, she merits serious consideration. Latest third was over 3m but showed in bumpers that she's quick enough for this trip.
12	12 (12) (3/1 -117%) Hey Whatever	3 3/1(-117%)	(12) Hey Whatever 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, fell in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good) 10 days ago. Close third and keeping on at the time of his depature. Big player. Would have at least made the frame had she not come down late on at Cork.
14	14 (14) (7/1 -8%) She Can Do It	7 7/1(-8%)	(14) She Can Do It 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, second of 8 in bumper at this C&D (good) 29 days ago. Claims granted a clear round now switched to hurdles. Came from off the pace she was best of the rest behind an easy Elliott winner in a bumper.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +25%) Gina Moon	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Gina Moon 12/1, Promising sort. 7/1, tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 81 days ago. Should progress for top yard (also represented by Hey Whatever). Well related but found no fluency in her jumping when tailed off at Wexford.
11	11 (11) (20/1 -67%) Give Her Hollie	20 20/1(-67%)	(11) Give Her Hollie 20/1, Casamento filly. Half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser On The Bridge and fairly useful hurdler Fairytale Theatre, stayed 3m. Entitled to come on for the run. Related to winning jumpers and the market can guide on debut.
9	9 (9) (28/1 -133%) Cornamona Park	28 28/1(-133%)	(9) Cornamona Park 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at this course (18.8f, good) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Beaten 24l and 31l in two maiden hurdles, the latest at this track; now in cheekpieces.
6	6 (6) (40/1 +20%) Kilrush Lady	40 40/1(+20%)	(6) Kilrush Lady 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 45 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Hard to warm to. Not unbacked at Tramore (2m5f, yielding; 9-1) but was always behind before pulling up.
8	8 (8) (50/1 +0%) Whitewinewednesday	50 50/1(+0%)	(8) Whitewinewednesday 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 17 in bumper (66/1) at Punchestown (16.6f, good) on NH debut. Off 9 months ahead of this hurdles debut. A weakener when beaten 23l in a Punchestown bumper last October (66-1); showed something.
15	15 (15) (66/1 -450%) Spread The Faith	66 66/1(-450%)	(15) Spread The Faith 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in bumper (150/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 106 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Tailed off in both her bumpers on testing ground; different conditions here may assist.
1	1 (1) (66/1 -32%) Bishbashbosh	66 66/1(-32%)	(1) Bishbashbosh 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in novice hurdle (25/1) at this course (18.8f, good) on NH debut 30 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gary McGill. Best to look elsewhere. Made the frame in two points but needs to step up on her 25l seventh here a month ago.
5	5 (5) (150/1 -650%) Kathleen Gold	150 150/1(-650%)	(5) Kathleen Gold 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in bumper at Navan (16f, good to soft, 200/1). Off 17 months ahead of this hurdles debut. Beaten in four bumpers and her most promising performance was on debut; off since Feb 2023.
13	13 (13) (200/1 -400%) Mutha	200 200/1(-400%)	(13) Mutha 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, sixth of 7 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Bellewstown (17.2f, good to firm) on NH debut 9 days ago. Hard to fancy. The hood made no difference when tailed off at Bellewstown only last week.
7	7 (7) (200/1 -300%) Legacy Juno	200 200/1(-300%)	(7) Legacy Juno 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Broke blood vessel when pulled up in novice hurdle at this course (18.8f, good, 125/1) on hurdles bow 30 days ago, bad mistake 3 out. Minor promise in bumpers before returning from long absence here last month and pulling up.
4	4 (4) (200/1 -203%) Hanara Rovan	200 200/1(-203%)	(4) Hanara Rovan 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 28/1, last of 10 in bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut. Off 20 months and probably best watched on hurdles/yard debut. In a different yard when tailed off in a soft-ground bumper at Limerick in late 2022.
10	10 (10) (300/1 -355%) Equine Angel	300 300/1(-355%)	(10) Equine Angel 300/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 17 in bumper (33/1) at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 11 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Related to winners but didn't show a lot in a Tipperary bumper when a 33-1 chance.

HEY WHATEVER was placed a number of times on the Flat for Noel Meade gaining a rating in the mid 70s and may have found winter ground too testing when switched to hurdles by current connections. The selection seemed to appreciate a sounder surface at Cork last time and was still in contention when falling at the last. Hopefully she's none the worse for that tumble and gets the vote over Coole Cherry who was frustrating to follow in bumpers filling the runner-up spot four times. She weakened in the closing stages in a three-mile maiden hurdle at Wexford and now reappears after a ten-month break. Give Her Hollie is a newcomer to note in the market.

This looks between HEY WHATEVER and Coole Cherry, with preference for the former who was in the process of running a big race when coming down at the last at Cork. She will take plenty of stopping granted a clear round. Coole Cherry arguably possess the greater potential of the two and while she is entitled to come on for the run following a 10-month absence, she is greatly respected. The selection's stablemate Gina Moon and hurdles debutante She Can Do It can scrap it out for minor honours.

Coole Cherry ran over 3m last time and former Flat racer HEY WHATEVER could have the superior gears around here on good ground.

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (5/6 -24%) Step Out	0.833333 5/6(-24%)	(9) Step Out 5/6, Fair hurdler. Unseated rider in novice hurdle (5/2) at this course (21.8f, good) 29 days ago, yet to be asked for effort when unseated 2 out, looking sure to play hand in finish. Looks the one to beat. Engaged 2.15 Perth Sunday. Placed again over hurdles when only headed late on at Perth yesterday.
3	3 (3) (2/1 +47%) Bodybuilder	2 2/1(+47%)	(3) Bodybuilder 2/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 15 in novice hurdle (11/1) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 55 days ago. Point winner; shaped okay behind the smart Belloccio on his hurdling debut.
8	8 (8) (4/1 +38%) Shinnhill	4 4/1(+38%)	(8) Shinnhill 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. 14/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (18.8f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Could figure. One of the better options on the strength of his fourth at Down Royal (2m1f, good).
15	15 (15) (13/2 -44%) Mortimer Duke	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(15) Mortimer Duke 13/2, Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 15 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 55 days ago. Only 10s at Punchestown but jumped moderately and finished behind Bodybuilder; may improve.
17	17 (17) (17/2 +15%) Southey	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(17) Southey 17/2, Promising individual. Third of 12 in novice hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to firm, 33/1) on hurdles bow 11 days ago. Open to improvement. RESERVE. Reserve; beaten under 10l in a Perth maiden so has ability but likely to need more here.
18	18 (18) (12/1 +25%) Sir Carnegie	12 12/1(+25%)	(18) Sir Carnegie 12/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Dam (h80), maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Urtheoneiwant. RESERVE. Reserve; dam placed in a bumper and half-sister to a 2m hurdle/3m chase winner.
1	1 (1) (16/1 +84%) Marcher Lord	16 16/1(+84%)	(1) Marcher Lord 16/1, Useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 16¾ lengths last of 12 to Power Under Me in listed race at Leopardstown (8f, soft, 16/1). Off 21 months. First run for yard after leaving W. McCreery. One to consider. Flat winner; long-time absent but changed hands for 37,000euros and could make a hurdler.
7	7 (7) (16/1 +68%) Peddler's Lane	16 16/1(+68%)	(7) Peddler's Lane 16/1, Once-raced maiden. First run since leaving A. J. Martin when pulled up in novice hurdle (150/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) on NH debut, tailed off when pulled up after last. Off 7 months.

6	6 (6) (25/1 +24%) Navy Guitar	25 25/1(+24%)	(6) Navy Guitar 25/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft, 66/1) on NH debut 55 days ago. Ended up tailed off in a Punchestown maiden for which he was an unconsidered 66-1 chance.
11	11 (11) (50/1 -150%) Head For Home	50 50/1(-150%)	(11) Head For Home 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 18 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Tipperary (20.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Tailed off in 2m4f maidens; shorter trip is unlikely to be a positive being stoutly bred.
16	16 (16) (66/1 -100%) Dakota Chief	66 66/1(-100%)	(16) Dakota Chief 66/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. Sixteenth of 18 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Tipperary (20.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. RESERVE. Reserve; some promise on Flat but may do well to win a maiden judged on initial efforts.
13	13 (13) (66/1 -32%) Jim's Cracker	66 66/1(-32%)	(13) Jim's Cracker 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 15 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good to soft, 150/1) on NH debut 55 days ago. Regressed on the Flat (maiden) and failed to show much on his switch to hurdling.

Switches from Flat to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Denis Hogan. Well held on last month's hurdling debut, since when he's been beaten in a Flat claimer.
12	12 (12) (66/1 +0%) Hey Driver	66 66/1(+0%)	(12) Hey Driver 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Unseated rider in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good, 125/1) on NH debut 10 days ago.

4	4 (4) (80/1 -21%) Caminito Del Rey	80 80/1(-21%)	(4) Caminito Del Rey 80/1, Once-raced maiden. Hooded, eighteenth of 20 in bumper (100/1) at Punchestown (16.8f, good) on NH debut 37 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Pulled up in a point and was tailed off in a hood on hurdling debut at Punchestown.

Shinnhill showed some promise behind Le Coq Hardi at Down Royal, but a chance is taken with MARCHER LORD. Lightly raced since winning a Navan maiden on debut for Willie McCreery, it would be no surprise to see him be highly competitive following a lengthy lay-off. Bodybuilder won a point-to-point in the UK but was soundly beaten behind the impressive Belloccio in a Punchestown maiden hurdle with Mortimer Duke further behind.

STEP OUT is the clear form pick and was yet to be asked for his effort when unseating two out here last time, so he's preferred to hurdling newcomer Marcher Lord, who has a lengthy absence to overcome. Shinnhill could feature if he's back to the form he showed on hurdling debut.

The consistent STEP UP might go one better than yesterday at Perth should he turn out again. Shinnhill is the best alternative.

15:50 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (10/3 +39%) Tipp For Mac	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(4) Tipp For Mac 10/3, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. Good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good, 17/2) 10 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Very competitive the last twice in good-ground handicaps at Roscommon and Cork.
1	1 (1) (7/2 +0%) Rightfolksplease	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(1) Rightfolksplease 7/2, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (good, 2/1) 29 days ago, shaken up to assert. Expected to be bang there, despite going up 9 lb. Up 9lb for last month's win here but that was fairly comfortable in the end.
3	3 (3) (13/2 -117%) Steps In The Sand	6.5 13/2(-117%)	(3) Steps In The Sand 13/2, 7/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (19.9f, good) 8 days ago, keeping on well. Enters calculations. Ridden out to collect with a bit in hand at Sligo (2m4f, good); 6lb rise seems fair.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +50%) The Vegas Raider	10 10/1(+50%)	(8) The Vegas Raider 10/1, Seventh of 12 in handicap at Limerick (17f, good, 18/1) 8 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles (creditable third off this mark on latest start in this sphere) and he's in with an each-way shout. Beaten under 10l in his last two runs (hurdle/Flat) and up to winning one of these.
14	14 (14) (12/1 -20%) Wee Jerry	12 12/1(-20%)	(14) Wee Jerry 12/1, First run since leaving Neill McCluskey when sixth of 13 in handicap chase at this course (23.7f, good, 11/2) on debut over fences 30 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others more persuasive. No wins in 22, including 19 starts over hurdles; well held on chase debut here last time.
9	9 (9) (14/1 -180%) Angelsworknovrtime	14 14/1(-180%)	(9) Angelsworknovrtime 14/1, Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs. 10/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Tongue strap back on. She's a 22-race maiden who needs to find improvement from somewhere.
6	6 (6) (16/1 +20%) Lope De Light	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Lope De Light 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/1, sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good) 29 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Must improve. Still a maiden but lightly raced and he wasn't beaten far in a Roscommon maiden.
5	5 (5) (16/1 -129%) Muhtaluza	16 16/1(-129%)	(5) Muhtaluza 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Perth (16.2f, good to firm) 36 days ago. In good hands but needs to step up now tried in cheekpieces. Looks on a harsh mark and was beaten 20l on his switch to handicaps at Perth.
7	7 (7) (18/1 +28%) Mr Sundancer	18 18/1(+28%)	(7) Mr Sundancer 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good) 43 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Not progressing over hurdles and tried 3m before his fading 5th back over 2m at Kilbeggan.
12	12 (12) (18/1 +28%) Billable Grant	18 18/1(+28%)	(12) Billable Grant 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, bit below form eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.8f, good) 30 days ago. Others preferred. Won a maiden hurdle in early 2022; hasn't offered much at all in handicaps.
10	10 (10) (22/1 -120%) Across The Ocean	22 22/1(-120%)	(10) Across The Ocean 22/1, Bit below form 22¼ lengths seventh of 14 to Rightfolksplease in handicap hurdle at this C&D (good, 10/1) 29 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has form here but has 22l to find with Rightfolksplease on their recent clash.
13	13 (13) (80/1 -142%) Poker Night	80 80/1(-142%)	(13) Poker Night 80/1, First run since leaving R. P. Cody when eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good, 33/1) 10 days ago. Needs to raise her game. Struggled in all her handicaps, the latest at Cork when well behind runner-up Tipp For Mac.
2	2 (2) (100/1 -400%) My Policy	100 100/1(-400%)	(2) My Policy 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good to firm, 50/1) 9 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Went off 50-1 for last week's handicap debut at Bellewstown and ran accordingly; visor new.
11	11 (11) (200/1 -700%) Lake Manzaleh	200 200/1(-700%)	(11) Lake Manzaleh 200/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good to soft, 66/1) 55 days ago, weakening 2 out. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Difficult ask. Well held when he has completed, which hasn't been the case the last twice.

STEPS IN THE SAND and Rightfolksplease come here with a similar profile having both filled the runner-up spot twice before scoring last time. The Cian Collins-trained mare, twice successful on the Flat, opened her account over hurdles when stepped up to 2m4f at Sligo last time while Rightfolksplease merits plenty of respect after getting off the mark over C&D last month. Tipp For Mac is another in good form at present having beaten all bar the progressive Slieve Bearnagh at Cork earlier this month, while Muhtaluza is another to consider if brushing up his jumping.

RIGHTFOLKSPLEASE has got it together of late and a 9 lb rise for his decisive C&D success last month may not be enough to stop him in his tracks. Also coming into this on the back of a breakthrough success over hurdles, Steps In The Sand is clear second choice ahead of Tipp For Mac, who is 0-15 in this sphere but has been knocking on the door of late. The Vegas Raider is not without each-way hope.

Rightfolksplease and Steps In The Sand are feared but TIPP FOR MAC is well-in with the latter on their Roscommon form.

15:50 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:25 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (11/8 +8%) River Tara	1.375 11/8(+8%)	(2) River Tara 11/8, Promising type. One win from 3 runs last season. Creditable second of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 3/1) when last seen 9 months ago. Remains open to improvement and will surely be bang there at the finish, provided she is fully tuned-up. Course bumper winner and placed in both her maiden hurdles; thereabouts.
8	8 (8) (7/2 +30%) Ollie La Ba Ba	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(8) Ollie La Ba Ba 7/2, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good third of 13 in novice hurdle at this course (21.8f, good) 29 days ago. Place possibilities. Closely matched with Charlie's Dilemma on a recent C&D clash; fair shout.
3	3 (3) (7/2 -100%) Beaufort Scale	3.5 7/2(-100%)	(3) Beaufort Scale 7/2, Promising type. 11/1, second of 15 in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 10 days ago. Should progress with that run under his belt and he's a key player. Strong form claims, provided he doesn't get outpaced around here back in trip.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +61%) Charlie's Dilemma	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(4) Charlie's Dilemma 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Very good second of 13 in novice hurdle (25/1) at this course (21.8f, good) 29 days ago. Live each-way chance if able to build on that effort. Runner-up in a C&D maiden last month and won't be far away with something similar.
1	1 (1) (10/1 +17%) Midleton Rare	10 10/1(+17%)	(1) Midleton Rare 10/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules (successful in a bumper). 10/3, twelfth of 22 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good) on hurdles bow 37 days ago. Should improve. Impressive bumper winner; unlikely that he gave true running when 100-30 for hurdle debut.
7	7 (7) (18/1 -29%) Look Dont Touch	18 18/1(-29%)	(7) Look Dont Touch 18/1, Fair chaser. Remains a maiden after 16 hurdle runs. Below form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Sligo (25.8f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Has the form to feature but below par the last twice and he's now 0-27.
9	9 (9) (22/1 -120%) Vaureal	22 22/1(-120%)	(9) Vaureal 22/1, €72,000 3-y-o, Kapgarde gelding. Brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser Hammersly Lake and useful chaser Almazhar Garde, stays 3¾m. Pulled up sole start between the flags but worth a second look in the betting nonetheless. Showed some ability before ultimately pulling up in only point, for which he was just 3-1.
10	10 (10) (100/1 -52%) Western Ability	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Western Ability 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (18.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 52 days ago. Nothing to shout about in points and was well beaten in a maiden hurdle here in May.
11	11 (11) (100/1 -52%) Nicolas Fortune	100 100/1(-52%)	(11) Nicolas Fortune 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 66/1, sixth of 13 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (20.6f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 7 days ago. Placed in two points but has weak form claims on what she's shown under rules.
5	5 (5) (150/1 -355%) Dersalwayssometin	150 150/1(-355%)	(5) Dersalwayssometin 150/1, Califet gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Paddy The Wire. Stable in good form. Probably best watched on debut. Half-brother to bumper winner Paddy The Wire; dam failed to complete in points.
6	6 (6) (200/1 -700%) Imperial Fashion	200 200/1(-700%)	(6) Imperial Fashion 200/1, Imperial Monarch gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Bearwithmenow. No impact in 2 starts between the flags. Insufficient promise in his two points to warrant a second glance in this maiden.

BEAUFORT SCALE showed some promise in bumpers and made a bright start over hurdles at Cork recently when second to Now So Jake in a three-mile maiden. The Sholokhov gelding stays well and has scope for further improvement. River Tara is an obvious threat having won a bumper in good style here last summer and was placed on both subsequent hurdle starts last year including when second to Tag Man at Listowel. Charlie's Dilemma and Ollie La Ba Ba filled the minor places behind Talk In The Park over C&D last month and Eoin McCarthy's gelding now looks the bigger danger having been hampered in the closing stages. Midleton Rare won a Fairyhouse bumper in good style last autumn but needs to improve on his reappearance over hurdles at Punchestown.

Promising types BEAUFORT SCALE and River Tara are likely to come to the fore in this maiden. The latter is not passed over at all lightly but Beaufort Scale shades preference on the back of a very encouraging hurdles debut second at Cork. Though Ollie La Ba Ba was a place behind the re-opposing Charlie's Dilemma when third here last month, he was hampered in the closing stages on that occasion and may well reverse those placings granted better luck this time.

Preference is for RIVER TARA who won her bumper here and has made a solid enough start over hurdles.

Career best when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good, 7/2) 10 days ago, forging clear. Up in trip. Open to improvement. Bumper winner and quickened away from them in a 2m1f Cork maiden last time.
7	7 (7) (2/1 -6%) Rauzan	2 2/1(-6%)	(7) Rauzan 2/1, Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at this course (17.8f, good, 10/1) 29 days ago, comfortably. Back up in trip. Shortlist material in receipt of weight all round. Rated inferior to some of these on official ratings but not on RPRs; considered.
1	1 (1) (2/1 +38%) Koori Star	2 2/1(+38%)	(1) Koori Star 2/1, Winning pointer who also landed 12-runner novice hurdle at Sligo (17.8f, good to soft, 14/1) on NH debut 34 days ago. Up in trip. Should progress. Won a 3m point so did well to win his maiden at Sligo over 2m2f (good); promising.
5	5 (5) (11/4 +68%) Charming Star	2.75 11/4(+68%)	(5) Charming Star 11/4, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 12f on Flat. 16/1, tenth of 16 in handicap at Navan (13f, good to soft) 79 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Flat/hurdle winner with solid form claims but his best form has come in the mud.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -14%) Littlebiggie	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Littlebiggie 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Killarney in May. 9/4, good second of 6 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (25.2f, good) 43 days ago. Killarney winner over this far and far from disgraced in defeat at Kilbeggan.
4	4 (4) (15/2 +46%) Notkeepinyagoing	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(4) Notkeepinyagoing 15/2, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Leopardstown in March. Fifth of 7 in novice hurdle (16/1) at Roscommon (20.5f, good) 35 days ago. Chance on her Leopardstown form but twice beneath that since; latest run worrying.
6	6 (6) (30/1 +9%) Cocoplum	30 30/1(+9%)	(6) Cocoplum 30/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 11 hurdle runs. 6/1, fifth of 6 in novice chase at this course (23.7f, good) 30 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Difficult ask. Now 0-16 and it would be a surprise should she make the breakthrough on these terms.

RAUZAN struck form when successful over this trip at Tramore and followed up in even more impressive fashion when drawing clear on the run-in at this venue last month. The Eoin Doyle-trained gelding looks a progressive sort and can complete the hat-trick in what should be a strongly run event. Littlebiggie made all over this distance at Killarney, while Disco Dancer won at Cork last time and also likes to be up with the pace. Point-to-point winner Koori Star made a winning start under Rules at Sligo, while Notkeepinyagoing impressed when easily winning a 2m4f Leopardstown maiden on testing ground in March but has disappointed on both outings since.

RAUZAN has been a different proposition over hurdles since cheekpieces went on and in receipt of plenty of weight all round, further success may well be forthcoming. Koori Star won a point and made the perfect start under Rules at Sligo so he's a massive danger, with Disco Dancer also open to progress.

Only seven go but this is trappy. Something has clicked with RAUZAN and his proven ability to handle this track ticks a big box.

Expected to be bang there with this slight step up in trip sure to suit. Has gone down fighting last twice when well fancied, extra yardage here could do the trick.

Switches from chase to hurdles. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Solid course operator tried in a first-time tongue-tie, entitled to push them close again.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +20%) Due Course	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) Due Course 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving P. O'Rourke when bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good, 5/1) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Point winner was weak in the market, albeit favourite on recent stable debut when only 8th.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -43%) Cullenwaine	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Cullenwaine 5/1, 10/3, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at this course (21.8f, good) 30 days ago, digging deep. Looks very competitive on form up 6 lb. C&D winner likely to make a bold bid to go in again under 6lb penalty, every chance.

Yet to convince as a hurdler. Nibbled at in the market and running a decent race when unseating three out here latest.
1	1 (1) (10/1 -11%) Townhill Penny	10 10/1(-11%)	(1) Townhill Penny 10/1, C&D winner. One win from 24 NH runs. 17/2 and blinkered for 1st time, third of 6 in novice chase at this course (23.7f, good) 30 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles.

11	11 (11) (14/1 -40%) Georgia Celena	14 14/1(-40%)	(11) Georgia Celena 14/1, 22/1, 11 lengths sixth of 14 to Cullenwaine in handicap hurdle at this course (21.8f, good) 30 days ago. Badly hampered three out on her recent course visit, not without an outside shout now.
9	9 (9) (14/1 -27%) Mrs Biddle	14 14/1(-27%)	(9) Mrs Biddle 14/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Listowel (23.4f, good, 22/1) 44 days ago, pulled up early in straight. Tramore third was a good run but has flopped twice in the interim, not one to trust.

Switches from chase to hurdles. RESERVE. 0-11 hurdler placed twice; latest sixth a modest enough effort, more needed: Reserve.
14	14 (14) (20/1 +20%) Nomadic Star	20 20/1(+20%)	(14) Nomadic Star 20/1, Remains a maiden after 19 NH runs. Tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive. Has produced one of his better runs here, but overall profile could do with spicing up.
18	18 (18) (22/1 -10%) Portnacoo	22 22/1(-10%)	(18) Portnacoo 22/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in novice chase (100/1) at Limerick (22.7f, good) on debut over fences 53 days ago. RESERVE, No more than a small flash of ability; has changed stables, Third Reserve.
13	13 (13) (25/1 -25%) Mabel In May	25 25/1(-25%)	(13) Mabel In May 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, ninth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good) 37 days ago. Has failed to capture the imagination in five starts so far; difficult to make a case for.
15	15 (15) (25/1 -25%) Oldtown To Emly	25 25/1(-25%)	(15) Oldtown To Emly 25/1, Respectable tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Tipperary (24f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Flashes of ability but best form on heavy, nothing short of a personal best is required.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +24%) Appian Way	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Appian Way 25/1, C&D winner. 33/1, twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good to soft) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Won a couple for Charles O'Brien back in 2022 but looks a shadow of former self.
12	12 (12) (28/1 -75%) Little Hero	28 28/1(-75%)	(12) Little Hero 28/1, Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (25.2f, good, 20/1) 43 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Far from setting any course records, first-time cheekpieces will need to do the trick.
6	6 (6) (40/1 -21%) Hardy Buck	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Hardy Buck 40/1, 40/1 and blinkered for 1st time, fell in hunter chase at this course (23.7f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Hunter chaser not in the best of order at present and past hurdle form is poor.
7	7 (7) (40/1 +20%) Meadow Soprano	40 40/1(+20%)	(7) Meadow Soprano 40/1, 40/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Briefly looked a danger at Bellewstown but she gradually weakened out of contention.

WARMER DAYS AHEAD hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts at Punchestown and may get his turn here under Phillip Enright. The Waldpark gelding found only one too good over 2m4f in May and dropping in trip probably counted against him when third last time. Going back up a couple of furlongs should bring the five-year-old's stamina into play. Stockdale hasn't been able to add to a solitary win gained over three years ago but she's been second at this track over both hurdles and fences in recent starts and is now fitted with a tongue-tie. Cullenwaine was strong at the finish when winning over course and distance last month and merits respect off a 6lb higher mark.

WARMER DAYS AHEAD has made a positive start to his career in handicaps and with this step up in trip sure to suit, he makes plenty of appeal. Cullenwaine was impressive here last month so he needs considering, along with Stockdale.

The step up in trip should suit WARMER DAYS AHEAD (nap) down the ground. Cullenwaine and Stockdale should give him a good test.

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (5/6 +9%) Cuckoo Valley	0.833333 5/6(+9%)	(2) Cuckoo Valley 5/6, Once-raced maiden. 5/6, second of 14 in bumper at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 60 days ago. Should get off the mark at the second attempt. Warm order to collect on debut when narrowly denied at Clonmel, compensation looks likely.
3	3 (3) (11/4 +14%) Eoin's Charm	2.75 11/4(+14%)	(3) Eoin's Charm 11/4, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Second of 15 in bumper (11/4) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on bumper debut 28 days ago, no match for winner. One to consider. Has shown more than enough to be considerd a big player here; threat to all concerned.
1	1 (1) (11/1 +78%) Cap Bernat	11 11/1(+78%)	(1) Cap Bernat 11/1, Remains a maiden after 7 bumper runs. Bit below form fourth of 9 in bumper (14/1) at this course (18.8f, good) 30 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Should come on from recent spin here but has played a fair few cards, first time hood.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -41%) Royal Attitude	12 12/1(-41%)	(8) Royal Attitude 12/1, Primary mare. Dam unraced. Not much to go on pedigree but stable can ready a newcomer, so worthy of some respect in a race that lacks depth. Newcomer from a shrewd source, any positive market vibes would be of obvious interest.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -33%) Pure Design	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Pure Design 12/1, £3,000 5-y-o, Milan mare. dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler Telmesomethinggirl (2m-2½m winner, by Stowaway). Third on first of 4 starts in points, unplaced last time (May 19). Point-to-point form hardly screams out a win is imminent; looks to have her work cut out.
10	10 (10) (16/1 -45%) Blacksmiths Forge	16 16/1(-45%)	(10) Blacksmiths Forge 16/1, Kalanisi filly. Half-sister to 2 winning pointers. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 23f) Corinto. Newcomer related to a couple of winners, will know what to expect, far from ruled out.
4	4 (4) (16/1 +20%) Kinnagrelly Boy	16 16/1(+20%)	(4) Kinnagrelly Boy 16/1, Once-raced maiden. 13/2, eighth of 15 in bumper at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Not short of each-way support when eighth at Kilbeggan (Eoin's Charm second); not ignored.
13	13 (13) (50/1 -52%) That Old Chestnut	50 50/1(-52%)	(13) That Old Chestnut 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 18/1, eighth of 12 in bumper at Listowel (16.4f, good) on NH debut 44 days ago. No wild price for a Listowel bumper but folded rather tamely, more likely but opposed.
11	11 (11) (50/1 +0%) Blossomfort Glen	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) Blossomfort Glen 50/1, Diamond Boy filly. Half-sister to a point winner and modest hurdler Vereina. Dam (c112/h98), 3m chase winner, half-sister to useful chaser (stayed 21f) Nadiya de La Vega. Newcomer from a stable in the winners enclosure in recent days; could surprise a few.
9	9 (9) (66/1 -560%) Tara Boe	66 66/1(-560%)	(9) Tara Boe 66/1, Soldier of Fortune mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler Brianna Lily. Dam (h76) maiden hurdler out of 19f/2½m hurdle winner Glenmoss Tara. Little show in points in 2023. A long time absent from the 'Point' scene and showed very little in any case.
5	5 (5) (66/1 -313%) Raby Mere	66 66/1(-313%)	(5) Raby Mere 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 8 in bumper at Bellewstown (17f, good to soft) on NH debut 82 days ago. Down the field but not disgraced on debut; tall order all the same to figure here.
6	6 (6) (100/1 -400%) Dragonalka	100 100/1(-400%)	(6) Dragonalka 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Unseated rider in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (20.1f, good, 200/1) 43 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Nothing to show for his efforts so far over hurdles, easy to look elsewhere.
12	12 (12) (150/1 -127%) Donegal Star	150 150/1(-127%)	(12) Donegal Star 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 12 in bumper (100/1) at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 70 days ago. 100's when lining up for a Down Royal Bumper and showed little to enthuse over.

It's hard to oppose the Willie Mullins-trained CUCKOO VALLEY, who went down by only a neck when odds-on for his debut at Clonmel in May. The winner has shown the form in a favourable light with a couple of good runs on the Flat lately and the half-brother to a Grade 2-winning hurdler can improve for stepping up in trip here. Eoin's Charm is clearly the danger after showing promise over hurdles before finishing second in a bumper at Kilbeggan. He was tapped for toe on that occasion and is another who will appreciate this greater test of stamina. The Crawford's have plenty of bumper winners and any market support for their newcomer Royal Attitude would be significant.

CUCKOO VALLEY's second at Clonmel on debut is clearly the best piece of form on show and he's more than likely to go one better at the second attempt. Eoin's Charm is a player on the back of a solid showing and Royal Attitude is of interest first time out.

The Willie Mullins-trained CUCKOO VALLEY sets the standard on the back of a narrow defeat on debut at Clonmel and will take stopping.

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.
