1st (1) (9/2 -29%)Alliteration |
9/2(-29%) | (1) Alliteration 9/2, Ran to form up in trip when second beaten 3/4l in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown latest; cheekpieces first time; effective 2-2 1/4m, acts on soft and good; beaten by classy rival on debut, should be winning soon. Bumper winner, placed on all three maiden hurdle outings, capable of getting in the mix. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (15) (4/1 +33%)Simply Natural |
4/1(+33%) | (15) Simply Natural 4/1, Very promising debut when second beaten 1 1/4l in an auction hurdle here latest; effective 2m, acts on heavy; bumper form franked, should improve a little for initial experience. Second to an experienced rival on hurdling debut over C&D, this race appears stronger. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (18/1 0%)Jo's Secret |
18/1(0%) | (7) Jo's Secret 18/1, Green, showed minor promise on debut when second beaten 15l in a maiden hurdle at Catterick latest; effective 2m, acts on good; only moderate form so far but may do better over hurdles. Useful bumper form, needs to step up on the form of her hurdles debut at Catterick. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (5/6 +44%)Salsinha |
5/6(+44%) | (13) Salsinha 5/6, Improved from debut for better ground 3 1/2l third in Boreen Belle Mares Novice Hurdle (Listed) at Thurles most recent run; effective 2m, acts on heavy and good; bright prospects for novice hurdles, debut form franked at Listed level and sets the clear standard. Good effort in a Listed hurdle gives her a chance of reversing Navan form with Cool Native. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (7/1 +22%)Shesakindofmagic |
7/1(+22%) | (14) Shesakindofmagic 7/1, Below form up in grade, did plenty early when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here latest; tongue-tie first time; off a short-break; effective 2m; could improve for further in time but threat on debut form. Bumper winner. C&D seventh leaves her plenty to find with Alliteration, tongue-tie on now. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (28/1 -100%)Brosna Queen |
28/1(-100%) | (3) Brosna Queen 28/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Wexford latest where stopped quickly; consistent in bumpers previously; effective 2m, acts on good; bumper win franked but more needed to figure over hurdles. Bumper winner, excuse offered (clinically abnormal) following hurdling debut at Wexford. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (17) (150/1 -20%)Thurman |
150/1(-20%) | (17) Thurman 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown latest where still green; off a long absence; effective 2 1/2m; likely one for longer distance handicaps. Went lame at Leopardstown's Christmas meeting in 2024, absent since, best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (100/1 -300%)Lady Fromentro |
100/1(-300%) | (8) Lady Fromentro 100/1, Never threatened on modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Wexford only start; effective 2m, acts on soft; should improve a little for initial experience. Made little impression at Wexford on debut; second-string for the trainer of Salsinha. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (10) (50/1 -52%)Mollys Star |
50/1(-52%) | (10) Mollys Star 50/1, Far too free in front, poor bumper debut comfortably held in a Ladies bumper at Cork last time; effective 2m, acts with cut; more needed to figure back over hurdles. A distant fifth in a maiden hurdle at Navan, well beaten in a Cork bumper, up against it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (15/2 -67%)Cool Native |
15/2(-67%) | (6) Cool Native 15/2, Very promising debut 1 1/2l third in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent run; returning from a break; effective 2m; point winner should have much more to offer for top yard, will get further. Point winner, one place in front of Salsinha on hurdling debut, likely to go close. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (5) (80/1 -142%)Cool As A Cat |
80/1(-142%) | (5) Cool As A Cat 80/1, Smooth Daddy mare; half-sister to Top Basanta, moderate at 19f; yard better known for point exploits; best watched Dam 2m/2m4f hurdle winner, sister to 2m hurdle/chase winner Mr Cosmopolitan, best watched. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (18) (200/1 -100%)Ur My Fav |
200/1(-100%) | (18) Ur My Fav 200/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; shown little so far. Only 4yo in the field, no merit in her three runs, can be left out of calculations.. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (100/1 -100%)Baby Fish |
100/1(-100%) | (2) Baby Fish 100/1, Outpaced, below form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; effective 2m; likely one for handicaps. Soundly beaten in two Navan outings, second-string for the trainer of Simply Natural. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (100/1 -52%)Orinoco Walk |
100/1(-52%) | (11) Orinoco Walk 100/1, Outpaced, below form down in trip down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recent; effective 2m5f on soft; likely to find this on the sharp side. Well beaten in three bumpers, down the field in two maiden hurdle outings. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (250/1 -213%)Mind The Steps |
250/1(-213%) | (9) Mind The Steps 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest where too green to show anything; all to prove. Pulled up in two point-to-points and has struggled in two maiden hurdle attempts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (16) (100/1 -100%)Strong Contender |
100/1(-100%) | (16) Strong Contender 100/1, Outpaced, modest debut third beaten 35l in a maiden hurdle at Sligo debut; unlikely to be suited by drop in trip. Poor last of three finishers in a maiden hurdle at Sligo late October, unlikely to feature. |

A first-time-out bumper winner last summer, SALSINHA finished a little over a length behind Cool Native when both mares made their hurdling debuts at Navan in November. Henry de Bromhead's five-year-old took a nice step forward when placed in a Listed contest at Thurles before Christmas and that is the strongest line of form in this maiden. Point-to-point winner Cool Native is an obvious danger, while Alliteration has solid placed form in this discipline and may improve for the application of headgear. Simply Natural made a good start over hurdles when second to a useful gelding here, but has a bit to find on that form.

Having picked up valuable experience against previous winners at Thurles, SALSINHA (nap) can reverse previous form with Cool Native

15/2(-25%) | (8) Me Wee Bonnie Lass 15/2, Returned to form down in class ridden to pick up the pieces when second beaten 9l in a handicap chase at Navan latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on any; mark looks about right. Couple of efforts in mares' handicaps give her place claims but 3lb wrong here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (3/1 +14%)Kilbarry Saint |
3/1(+14%) | (3) Kilbarry Saint 3/1, Landed a handicap by 6l off a 31lb lower mark at Clonmel in February; ran to form benefitting from drop in class Won a beginners chase chase at Clonmel last time; effective 2-2 1/2m, acts on soft, good to soft; generally consistent and could be well treated now handicapping. Recent Clonmel winner back in handicap company and can go well. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (13/2 -86%)Ballybawn Belter |
13/2(-86%) | (2) Ballybawn Belter 13/2, Every chance, bit below form beaten 7 1/4l in QuinnBet Handicap Chase (Listed) at Leopardstown last time; effective 2 1/2-3m, acts with cut; in fair form. Good run in better-class Leopardstown contest latest; contender if she stays. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (80/1 -100%)Secret She Keeps |
80/1(-100%) | (11) Secret She Keeps 80/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase here latest where needed run; usually held up; returning from a break; effective 2 1/2m, wants decent ground; inconsistent after lay off. Last year's fourth but hard to fancy on recent form and 6lb wrong too. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (10) (10/3 +67%)May Call You Back |
10/3(+67%) | (10) May Call You Back 10/3, Improved just outstayed late up in trip beaten 7 1/4l in Handicap Chase at Punchestown last time; that form franked; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on any; progressive for new yard and looks thrown in off unchanged mark; the one to beat down in trip. 3m4f too far latest; 4lb wrong here but could go well if she stays. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (6/1 -33%)Bioluminescence |
6/1(-33%) | (1) Bioluminescence 6/1, Outpaced, ran to form but looked in need of stiffer test when second beaten 11l in Opera Hat Mares Chase (Listed) at Naas latest; top jockey back on board; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-3m, suited by cut; inconsistent but looks well treated back in a handicap. Respected but top-weight vulnerable conceding lots of weight all-round. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (9/1 -100%)Mystical Goddess |
9/1(-100%) | (5) Mystical Goddess 9/1, Returned to form back down in trip 4 1/2l third in a handicap chase at Limerick most recent run; cheekpieces first time; effective 2m-2m3f, may get bit further; form franked at Graded level. Recent Limerick run a solid one; cheekpieces added. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (10/1 -33%)Kiltealy Park |
10/1(-33%) | (6) Kiltealy Park 10/1, Won this last year off 8lb lower; made too much use of up in trip, didn't stay comfortably held in a handicap chase at Leopardstown last time; cheekpieces first time; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2-2 3/4m, acts on soft, good; inconsistent. Last year's winner doesn't come here in the same form; cheekpieces replace blinkers. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (12/1 -9%)Crescent Moon |
12/1(-9%) | (7) Crescent Moon 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown latest; never travelled on latest chase run; effective 2-2 1/2m; inconsistent and needs more. Ran well here in November but pulled up the last twice; caution advised. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (25/1 +24%)Ad Caelum |
25/1(+24%) | (9) Ad Caelum 25/1, Ran to form 24l third in a beginners chase chase at Clonmel most recent run; effective 2m4f-3m, wants decent ground but acts with cut; better ground may help. Lots to find with Kilbarry Saint on recent Clonmel running and 4lb out of handicap. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Despite being 4lb out of the handicap, MAY CALL YOU BACK makes plenty of appeal off bottom weight. Willie Mullins' charge did well at a lower level last year and it looked like the extended 3m3f trip stretched her at Punchestown in February when she was a strong-travelling fifth in the Grand National Trial. That was a good effort against geldings and this distance will be more suitable. Ballybawn Belter, who landed a nice pot at Limerick over Christmas, also returns to mares-only company and her last two runs have been creditable. Bioluminescence has come down a few pounds and has to be respected in this grade, while there is a change of headgear for last year's winner Kiltealy Park.

Preference is for the recent Clonmel maiden winner KILBARRY SAINT off a nice racing weight

Last success was in May 2024, interesting after his latest run, rider doing well in points. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (11/2 -22%)Vaureal |
11/2(-22%) | (10) Vaureal 11/2, Below form back over hurdles when fourth beaten 57l in a handicap hurdle here latest; effective 2 1/2m, likely wants some give; better over fences and has an excellent record here. Second in this race last year for this rider, also a C&D winner, likely player. |

9/2(+44%) | (4) Kings Hill 9/2, Landed a handicap by 5 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective 2m1f-2m5f, acts on heavy, good; will remain well treated on hurdle form, could follow up. Came good over 2m2f at Limerick last month, top amateur rider won this in 2022. |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (11/1 +45%)Choccabloc |
11/1(+45%) | (8) Choccabloc 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Limerick latest where unsuited by heavy; effective 2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; still early days over fences, mark could be generous judged on UK hurdle form and Irish Graded chase form. Second here in January, pulled up in two of his last three starts, questions to answer. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (12/1 -33%)Dancing Jeremy |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Dancing Jeremy 12/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Thurles penultimate start; ran to form but outstayed late up in trip fourth beaten 5l off 126 last time, 1lb lower here; effective 2 1/4-2 1/2m, acts with cut; progressing but mark demands more. Fortunate to win a 2m2f Thurles handicap chase in February, well beaten off revised mark. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (15) (14/1 -17%)That's About Right |
14/1(-17%) | (15) That's About Right 14/1, Ran to form just flattening out late comfortably held in a handicap chase at Leopardstown last time; usually held up; effective 2m2f-2m6f, acts on soft and good; could build on recent revival.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (50/1 0%)Where's Frankie |
50/1(0%) | (14) Where's Frankie 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Leopardstown latest where didn't take to the blinkers; effective 3m+, acts with cut; out of form for some time. Three-time chase winner, pulled up at Navan and Leopardstown on last two starts. |

|PU| (17) (66/1 -32%)Cavalry Master |
66/1(-32%) | (17) Cavalry Master 66/1, Pulled up in a novice point at Tinahely latest; effective 3m; out of form under rules and in points; hard to fancy. Veteran six-time winner, a shadow of his former self in points and cross-country races.. |

VAUREAL was second in this a year ago and won a similar contest here in November. He's only 4lb higher than for his latest victory and regular rider Caragh Monaghan is once again on board. His last two outings have come in a cross-country contest and over hurdles, and connections have probably been aiming him at this race for some time. Kings Hill could have more to offer after winning at Limerick, while Harbour Highway is another going the right way after scoring at Leopardstown. Now tried in blinkers, Lucky Lyreen has to be respected on his defeat of subsequent Ulster National winner Born Braver two starts back.

Maxine O'Sullivan won this last year and is a notable booking for HARBOUR HIGHWAY who can uphold recent form with Lisleigh Lad

16th (11) (400/1 -167%)Leo Messy |
400/1(-167%) | (11) Leo Messy 400/1, Never threatened down the field in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick most recent; all to prove and likely one for handicaps. Three-figure odds and down the field on both starts, can be ruled out. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (21) (11/5 +34%)Sine Qua Non |
11/5(+34%) | (21) Sine Qua Non 11/5, Very promising debut back from break behind more experienced race fit rivals 3l third in a maiden hurdle at Naas most recent run; effective 2m-2m3f; point winner, bumper form franked emphatically, much more to come now hurdling over further. Has run only twice since a 2024 point win, should be better for last month's 2m3f Naas run. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (22) (12/1 -41%)Treasure Memory |
12/1(-41%) | (22) Treasure Memory 12/1, Ran to form 15l third in a maiden hurdle here most recent run; off a short-break; effective over 2m1f-2m4f, acts on yielding; in good form, can find a maiden. Two promising hurdle runs including over 2m4f at this venue, might prefer further. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (50/1 0%)It'llbeworthit |
50/1(0%) | (7) It'llbeworthit 50/1, 32,000 euros Elzaam gelding; full-brother to Cherry Pink, fair at 16f; another half sister a Flat winner; may just need this initial experience. By Elzaam, brother to five-time Flat winner Cherry Pink, worth a look for future reference. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (80/1 +0%)Little Big John |
80/1(+0%) | (12) Little Big John 80/1, 9,000 euros Affinisea gelding; half-brother to Chapel Green, fair from 16f to 22f and a hurdles winner; big ask. Half-brother to hurdle/chase winner Chapel Green, makes debut for small Tipperary stable. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (200/1 -506%)Another Fool |
200/1(-506%) | (1) Another Fool 200/1, Fell in a maiden point at Tinahely latest; returning from a break; market may prove best guide on hurdle debut. Decent French pedigree; making no impact when falling six out on only point-to-point start. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (19) (200/1 -203%)Ri An Stoirm |
200/1(-203%) | (19) Ri An Stoirm 200/1, Modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Navan only start; hood first time; off a short-break; plenty more needed to figure. Tailed off in a maiden hurdle at Navan in February, one of the stable's outsiders here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (300/1 -355%)Clone Cross |
300/1(-355%) | (3) Clone Cross 300/1, Modest debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick last time; placed in a point but plenty to prove over hurdles. Places in a point-to-point, remote sixth on hurdling debut at Downpatrick last Sunday. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (23) (500/1 -300%)Shortt Fuse |
500/1(-300%) | (23) Shortt Fuse 500/1, Every chance, ran to form well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Naas latest; looks one for low grade handicaps. Naas run a month ago suggests she might have a chance in a handicap in due course. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RO| (20) (150/1 -127%)Seek A Richer Life |
150/1(-127%) | (20) Seek A Richer Life 150/1, Westerner gelding; full-brother to Cathy West, moderate at 16f; dam placed in a point; best watched for now. Westerner gelding is from a strong family but is set a stiff task here first time out. |

SINE QUA NON ran well against race-fit rivals when third at Naas and can take this on his second run back after a layoff. The Masked Marvel gelding also showed plenty of ability in a bumper at Navan last year and, with that recent run under his belt, he can get off the mark under Rules. Petit Secret beat two smart horses in a bumper in 2023 and wasn't seen thereafter until being beaten at odds-on on his hurdling debut at Leopardstown last month. He is related to winning stayers and steps up in trip. With a rating of 125, He Can't Dance sets a fair standard. He drops in distance and is now tried in blinkers.

Down in trip and back in maiden company after a 3m handicap run, HE CAN'T DANCE may make his experience count here

Punchestown maiden winner shortlisted off a workable opening mark. |

7/1(-17%) | (3) Star Of The Week 7/1, Improved suited by stiff track when winning a maiden hurdle at Naas by 5l last time; effective 2m, acts on heavy and yielding; progressive, form strong, longer trip could suit, more to come.

14/1(-75%) | (11) Yeshil 14/1, Pulled up in Nathaniel Lacy & Partners Solicitors Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) at Leopardstown latest; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m7f with cut; not yet up to Graded level but opening mark looks reasonable. Out of depth latest; needs to jump and settle better; drops to handicap company. |

14/1(+13%) | (20) Soldierstown 14/1, Ran to form seeing out the longer trip when fourth beaten 15l in Irish Stallion Farms EBF Shannon Spray Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) at Limerick latest; effective around 2m4f, acts on soft and good; progressive over hurdles, may do better again at 3m. Maiden winner here out of depth of late; handicap debut and rider's claim a positive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (18/1 -140%)Tip Of The Wings |
18/1(-140%) | (5) Tip Of The Wings 18/1, Ran to form, well placed in race dominated from front when second beaten 6l in a novice hurdle at Naas latest; cheekpieces first time; top jockey back on board; effective 2m-2m4f on any ground; point winner is progressing over hurdles and longer trip could suit.

Navan maiden winner could go well on handicap debut but Townend prefers Fillyoureye. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (28/1 -56%)Melbourne Shamrock |
28/1(-56%) | (6) Melbourne Shamrock 28/1, Scored by a neck off a 6lb lower mark at Naas penultimate start; may have found ground too fast, race came too soon 20th beaten 42l off 132 last time, 5lb lower here; effective 2 3/4-3m, acts with cut; progressing until latest, form franked. Ground possibly too quick at Cheltenham; respected on Naas win back on softer ground. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (28/1 -56%)Gin Tonic |
28/1(-56%) | (12) Gin Tonic 28/1, Pulled up in a novice hurdle at Thurles latest where didn't handle the ground; off a short-break; effective 2 1/2m, acts on yielding, good; debut form nothing special and needs more. Thurles run raises questions now entering handicap company. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (15) (33/1 -50%)Fou De Toi |
33/1(-50%) | (15) Fou De Toi 33/1, May not have stayed 34l third in a maiden hurdle at Limerick most recent run; effective 1m7f-2m4f, acts with cut; French form boosted at Listed level, surely capable of better but stamina to prove. Underperformed market expectations on both starts for current yard; not an obvious one. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (33/1 -18%)Panjandrum |
33/1(-18%) | (14) Panjandrum 33/1, Jumped poorly, improved but didn't beat much when winning a maiden hurdle at Limerick by 9l last time; effective 2m-3m with cut; progressing, unexposed as a stayer. Limerick maiden winner faces much stiffer task here but evidently going the right way. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (40/1 -233%)Minella Emperor |
40/1(-233%) | (7) Minella Emperor 40/1, Below form up in class down the field in Pertemps Network Final Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; in good form prior; effective 2m3f-3m, acts on any; steadily progressing until latest, needs drop in class. Tailed off in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham; yard look to have stronger contenders. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

From a very successful family, FILLYOUREYE put a poor run behind him when winning easily at Punchestown and should have more to offer. He could be well treated and his second to progressive mare Zanoosh in December is particularly strong form. Court Compliance is another who got off the mark at Punchestown last time and he looks likely to improve for stepping up to this trip. Towards the foot of the handicap, Found A Diamond should give each-way backers a good run. He is proven over this distance and has an edge in handicap experience over many of these.

Value may be had in recent Punchestown winner CHASE THE MOON off a 5lb higher mark

Not clear run in County when only 1l off Karbau; more needed but don't rule out. |

4th (6) (25/1 +38%)Sony Bill |
25/1(+38%) | (6) Sony Bill 25/1, Yard has won 4 of last 9 runnings of race; far too free up in trip, didn't stay down the field in BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; effective at 2m with cut; not in best form since move from France. Didn't stay in Coral Cup; return to 2m may suit but yard look to have stronger contenders. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (9/1 -20%)Murcia |
9/1(-20%) | (4) Murcia 9/1, Down the field in County Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; effective 2m, acts on soft, good to soft; won at top level as juvenile in weak contest, running into form this term until latest, flatter tracks may suit best. Didn't count in County Hurdle latest but can't be discounted on DRF run previously. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (18) (22/1 -57%)Mode Avion |
22/1(-57%) | (18) Mode Avion 22/1, Landed a handicap by 12l off a 13lb lower mark here penultimate start; ran to form just caught late having been ridden positively Second beaten in a 4yo hurdle at Limerick latest; effective at 2m, acts on heavy; progressing.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (15/2 +46%)Messerschmitt |
15/2(+46%) | (12) Messerschmitt 15/2, Bit free back from break and flattened out up the hill on ground softer than ideal when fourth beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Sandown latest; that strong form; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; could build on latest. Imperial Cup fourth one for the shortlist with rider's claim a positive. |

10th (7) (16/1 +52%)Lord Erskine |
16/1(+52%) | (7) Lord Erskine 16/1, Won this last year; never in the race, needed run down the field in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown most recent; off a short-break; effective 2m; consistent veteran in both codes holds little secrets from handicapper. Last year's winner now a 13yo and needs a career-best to follow up. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (14) (22/1 -38%)Playtime |
22/1(-38%) | (14) Playtime 22/1, Did it cosily, improved again down in class when winning a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown by 8l last time; effective 2m, acts on soft and yielding; progressive, can go well again. Leopardstown maiden winner would appreciate ground drying on handicap debut. |

13th (3) (16/1 -14%)Puturhandstogether |
16/1(-14%) | (3) Puturhandstogether 16/1, Left poorly placed in race dominated from front after farce of a start, travelled well to a point but didn't stay down the field in BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; big run here previously having met trouble; effective 2m on soft, good; Fred Winter winner, inconsistent. Cheltenham also-ran hampered here previously; Walsh prefers Davy Crockett. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (9/1 -29%)Davy Crockett |
9/1(-29%) | (10) Davy Crockett 9/1, Yard has won 4 of last 9 runnings of race; comfortably held in Kingsfurze Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) at Naas last time; suited by 2m on decent ground; very well bred, potentially high-class novice when getting back on sound surface, can make winning handicap debut. Heavy ground against him this term; unexposed on handicap debut, drying ground would suit. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (9) (22/1 +21%)Zillow |
22/1(+21%) | (9) Zillow 22/1, Yard has won 4 of last 9 runnings of race; never threatened up in class ridden to see out the trip down the field in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham most recent; cheekpieces first time; usually held up; effective 2m, acts with cut; must bounce back and sable holds stronger claims. C&D winner in November hasn't stayed 2m5f twice since; cheekpieces added and drops in trip. |

14/1(+36%) | (5) Helvic Dream 14/1, Ran to form beaten 7 1/2l in County Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham last time; effective 2m; former Group 1 winner goes well at the Curragh, consistent in both codes but mark about right. Last year's second; comeback run in County wasn't bad and entitled to come on for that. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (17) (25/1 +0%)Kotkito Bello |
25/1(+0%) | (17) Kotkito Bello 25/1, Went clear, made too much use of but ran well for a long way comfortably held in Listed Handicap Hurdle at Leopardstown last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m with cut; progressive but mark asks more. Sequence ended in DRF; handicapper may have his measure now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

The race didn't go to plan for KARBAU when he was sent off favourite for the County Hurdle and he can gain compensation, despite having to shoulder top weight. Held up off a moderate pace, the Cokoriko gelding could never land a blow but made late headway and it was a creditable display in the circumstances. Paul Townend keeps the faith and there is little doubt that he is on a good mark. Stablemate Murcia was disappointing in the County when well fancied herself, but this Grade 1 winner is capable of better. Powerful is progressive but is well up in grade, while Imperial Cup fourth Messerschmitt has a handy weight and is capable of a big run.

Lighter weights have tended to do best in recent years, a likely one here being MODE AVION

5/2(+9%) | (8) Wonderful Everyday 5/2, Probably found ground too testing well beaten in Irish EBF Mares I.N.H. Flat Race (Grade 2) at Leopardstown latest; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on good; bit to prove after pair of woeful runs but better ground will suit. Sets the standard on her Punchestown form but hard to be confident in on recent efforts. |

3rd (5) (11/4 +66%)Some Pretender |

Decent efforts in similar events of late; should be thereabouts. |

Steady pace may not have suited at Naas; may yet improve, especially in a truly-run race. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (4/1 -100%)Lizzie Twigg |
4/1(-100%) | (3) Lizzie Twigg 4/1, Very promising debut 2l winner in a Mares bumper at Down Royal on debut; effective 2m1f, acts on good; form of debut win yet to be tested, may have bit more to offer. Strongly-ridden for Down Royal debut win; more needed but possible. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/2 -13%)Lilannbee |
9/2(-13%) | (2) Lilannbee 9/2, Ran well for a long way beaten 8 1/4l in Irish EBF Mares I.N.H. Flat Race (Grade 2) at Leopardstown last time; in good form prior; off a short-break; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on soft and yielding; steadily progressing in bumpers. Punchestown winner out of depth in Grade 2 at DRF; more exposed than several of these. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (18/1 -157%)Something Fabulous |
18/1(-157%) | (6) Something Fabulous 18/1, Ran to form despite being keen throughout 14l third in a bumper at Cork most recent run; hood first time; effective 2m on good; latest form franked, must progress again to figure at Listed level. Tramore winner back from winter break with hood fitted; probably wants better ground. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (28/1 +30%)Voladora Nora |
28/1(+30%) | (7) Voladora Nora 28/1, Struggled here, in need of experience comfortably held in a Mares bumper at Limerick last time; effective 2m, acts on soft, good; progressing until latest; vulnerable in this class. Listowel third returns from winter break and needs to improve plenty to feature. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

For a Listed event, it's not the strongest of contests and SOME PRETENDER gets the vote, despite being overlooked by Patrick Mullins. After winning on debut at the Galway Festival, the six-year-old finished third in a pair of Listed races and her run at Navan in November is strong form. Mullins has elected to ride Wonderful Everyday, successful in the Goffs Defender Bumper at the Punchestown Festival but most disappointing in two starts since. Lizzie Twigg had Belladaball over seven lengths behind when winning at Down Royal, but had a hard enough race on debut.
