26	26 \|U\| (26) (80/1 -142%) Our Zebo	80 80/1(-142%)	(26) Our Zebo 80/1, Offered something to work on when second in 3-runner novice hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, good to firm) on debut 28 days ago, albeit no match for winner. RESERVE.
10th	18 10th (18) (50/1 -213%) Zettabyte	50 50/1(-213%)	(18) Zettabyte 50/1, Shaped as if better for the run when well held in maiden hurdle (7/1) at Navan (16f, good to soft) on debut 55 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve.

20	20 \|PU\| (20) (200/1 +0%) Parkrunner	200 200/1(+0%)	(20) Parkrunner 200/1, Down the field in bumpers/completed start over hurdles.

LTO Selection:

FLAMBOROUGH and Canal End were only separated by a length when filling the places behind Western Comandor at Down Royal last month. The selection stayed well on the Flat for Mark and Charlie Johnston winning over 1m6f at Catterick last autumn and is entitled to progress from his hurdle debut over this longer trip. Canal End has an experience advantage with three hurdle runs now under his belt. Point-to-point winner Zaidi easily landed a Thurles bumper last month and looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's three runners, while Gold Bullion won a Warwick bumper for Paul Nicholls but now reappears after an absence of over two years.

It was hardly a deep bumper ZAIDI won at Thurles last month, but it was hard not to be impressed with how he came clear for merely a shake of the reins, so he's fancied to follow up on his hurdle debut, especially with the step up in trip promising to suit. Flamborough and Mint Boy head the opposition in an interesting maiden.

ZAIDI looked like a nice prospect when bolting up in a Thurles bumper and the point winner should also relish this longer distance

14:10 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:45 Fairyhouse Conditions Chase 25f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (18/1 +10%) Annamix	18 18/1(+10%)	(1) Annamix 18/1, Fairly useful chaser. Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Fell in hunter chase at Gowran (25f, heavy, 14/1) 28 days ago won by Ferns Lock. Hard to fancy.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +0%) Billaway	3 3/1(+0%)	(2) Billaway 3/1, Useful chaser. Eight wins from 22 NH runs. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. Blinkered for 1st time, fell in Festival Challenge Cup at Cheltenham last time. Solid claims if his jumping holds up.
3	4 3rd (4) (0.36/1 +10%) Ferns Lock	0.36 0.36/1(+10%)	(4) Ferns Lock 0.36/1, Promising individual. Course winner. Completed hat-trick in 6-runner hunter chase (1/4) at Gowran (25f, heavy) 28 days ago, plenty in hand. Should be up to landing the fourt-timer
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 +36%) Er Dancer	14 14/1(+36%)	(3) Er Dancer 14/1, Fairly useful chaser. Course winner. 3/1, fourth of 7 in hunter chase at Down Royal (19.6f, soft) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to improve.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (50/1 -100%) Vis Ta Loi	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Vis Ta Loi 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Willie Mullins. Successful on last of 7 starts in points (Mar 12). Returns to Rules in a tough race.

LTO Selection:

FERNS LOCK is an exciting sort and can stretch his unbeaten record to seven in point-to-points and hunter chases. The David Christie-trained gelding decisively beat Its On The Line (second at Cheltenham last month) here earlier this season, with Er Dancer back in third, and was equally impressive when slamming Billaway at Thurles. He coped with testing ground when long odds-on last time in the Tetratema Cup at Gowran where Annamix was well held when falling at the last. Billaway's eight wins under rules include the Cheltenham Festival last year and hopefully he's none the worse from a fall when bidding for a repeat last month. Er Dancer gained his sixth point-to-point win when beating Vis Ta Loi at Oldtown in February and appears best of the remainder.

FERNS LOCK has been hugely impressive in this sphere and a four-timer looks more than likely. Billaway is the obvious danger and Vis Ta Loi is the pick of the remaining trio as he returns to Rules.

Although Billaway may well get closer to FERNS LOCK (nap) than he did in January, it's hard to see him turning around the form

14:45 Fairyhouse Conditions Chase 25f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:20 Fairyhouse Maiden Chase 22f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (7.5/1 +46%) Instit	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(3) Instit 7.5/1, Course winner. Winner in chase here (21f) in February. Hooded for 1st time, 8¼ lengths third of 5 to Brides Hill in listed chase at Thurles (21.9f, good to soft, 13/8) 44 days ago.
2	1 2nd (1) (0.44/1 +0%) Allegorie De Vassy	0.44 0.44/1(+0%)	(1) Allegorie De Vassy 0.44/1, Landed first 4 starts upon joining Willie Mullins, readily landing pair of Grade 2 chase contests this season. Ran right up to best when runner-up to Impervious in Mares' Chase at Cheltenham last month and this looks a good opening for her.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.75/1 +21%) Limerick Lace	2.75 2.75/1(+21%)	(4) Limerick Lace 2.75/1, Quickly developed into a useful chaser, landing novice/handicap events at up to 20f prior to good second in Naas Grade 3 last month, albeit flashing tail under pressure. No doubting she has the ability to play a part.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 -108%) Broomfield Hall	25 25/1(-108%)	(2) Broomfield Hall 25/1, Useful chaser. Course winner. 3 wins from 4 runs this season. Pulled up in Gr 2 chase at Limerick (22.6f, heavy, 7/2) 101 days ago won by Allegorie De Vassy, pulled up before 2 out. On a roll prior to that and bounce back not ruled out returning from a break.
5th	6 5th (6) (40/1 +39%) Sit Down Lucy	40 40/1(+39%)	(6) Sit Down Lucy 40/1, Useful chaser. 40/1, below form ninth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.6f, heavy) 98 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Switches from hurdles to chase.
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 -100%) Motown Maggie	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Motown Maggie 50/1, Fairly useful chaser. 3/1, career best when winning 6-runner handicap chase at Navan (20.4f, good to soft) 35 days ago. More on her plate back up in grade.
7th	7 7th (7) (40/1 +0%) Time To Rocco	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Time To Rocco 40/1, Fair hurdler who made it first time lucky over fences under a confident ride to land a Thurles mares' maiden chase (18f) 3 weeks ago, third jumping last and staying on to lead final 50 yds. Better to come in this sphere but this is a tough ask.

LTO Selection:

ALLEGORIE DE VASSY has taken really well to fences this term and should regain the winning thread. The Willie Mullins-trained mare was a Grade 3 winner here last season over hurdles and was pitched in the deep end over fences winning her first two starts both at Grade 2 level in Limerick and Thurles. She lost little in defeat when runner-up to Impervious at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Limerick Lace looks the chief threat having progressed nicely over fences to win a valuable handicap at Naas before filling the runner-up spot behind Journey With Me in a Grade 3 at the same venue. Instit has a C&D win to her credit this year and is preferred to Sit Down Lucy and Motown Maggie.

ALLEGORIE DE VASSY ran right up to her best when runner-up to Impervious in the Mares' Chase at Cheltenham last month, and with potential for better still over fences, she can capitalise on the return to calmer waters here. Limerick Lace has made a bright start herself over fences and rates a big threat, ahead of the returning Broomfield Hall.

In receipt of 8lb, Limerick Lace has a chance against ALLEGORIE DE VASSY but it will be surprising if the latter is turned over

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (1.88/1 +53%) Gain De Cause	1.88 1.88/1(+53%)	(7) Gain De Cause 1.88/1, Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. 7/2, good fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Navan (17f, heavy) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Yard having good spell. Remains with potential over fences.
2	5 2nd (5) (6.5/1 -63%) Routine Excellence	6.5 6.5/1(-63%)	(5) Routine Excellence 6.5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap chase (12/1) at Thurles (20.5f, soft) 21 days ago, driven out. Trainer going well. Should continue to give a good account.
3	8 3rd (8) (8/1 +60%) Halsafari	8 8/1(+60%)	(8) Halsafari 8/1, Thirty two runs since last win in 2019. 22/1, tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy) 9 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase.
4	4 4th (4) (4.5/1 -20%) Charlie Stout	4.5 4.5/1(-20%)	(4) Charlie Stout 4.5/1, Course winner. 9/2, won 7-runner handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, heavy) 8 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Can give a good account.
5th	9 5th (9) (9/1 +73%) An Fraoch Mor	9 9/1(+73%)	(9) An Fraoch Mor 9/1, Sixth of 11 in handicap chase (14/1) at Navan (17f, heavy) 19 days ago. Up in trip.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 -50%) Mars Harper	6 6/1(-50%)	(1) Mars Harper 6/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Seventeenth of 23 in handicap chase at Cheltenham Festival (20.6f, soft, 50/1) 23 days ago. Worth another chance back in much calmer waters.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 +0%) Robin De Roost	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Robin De Roost 66/1, Won 14-runner handicap chase (3/1) at Downpatrick (19.2f, good), driven out. Off 22 months.
2	2 \|F\| (2) (9/1 -100%) Fighting Fit	9 9/1(-100%)	(2) Fighting Fit 9/1, Promising type. 9/1, eye-catching fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.4f, soft) 167 days ago. Should improve.
3	3 \|DQ\| (3) (20/1 +0%) Bold Emperor	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Bold Emperor 20/1, Latest win in chase at Wexford in July. Sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.4f, soft, 40/1) 167 days ago. Risky proposition at present.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (50/1 -150%) Stansfield	50 50/1(-150%)	(6) Stansfield 50/1, One win from 25 NH runs. 18/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap chase at Navan (17f, heavy), no match for winner. Off 13 months. Up in trip. Market should reveal expectations.

LTO Selection:

MARS HARPER never got involved in the Plate at Cheltenham last month but on overall form may prove the one to beat. The selection won twice over hurdles and, while a frustrating sort to follow over fences, has plenty of placed form including in a Grade 2 novice at Punchestown earlier this season. He was only headed close home by Lieutenant Command in a valuable handicap at Leopardstown on his penultimate start. Charlie Stout has turned back the clock this year finishing second to Stumptown at Thurles and gaining a sixth career win when beating Darver Star at Wexford last week. Routine Excellence also comes here in good form having scored over a similar trip at Thurles, while the JP McManus pair Fighting Fit and Gain De Cause are others to consider.

MARS HARPER found the Plate too competitive at the Cheltenham Festival and is worth another chance back in much calmer waters. Gain de Cause ran his best race over fences when fourth at Navan last time and remains with potential in this sphere on hurdles form, while Charlie Stout responded well to a change of tactics when making all at Wexford last week.

MARS HARPER will find this easier than his latest assignment at Cheltenham and had been in good form prior to his run at the Festival

LTO Selection:

VERDANT PLACE has really progressed since stepped up in trip and can complete a hat-trick. The Pat Foley-trained gelding overcame a mistake at the last to score at Punchestown and followed up at the same venue over an extended 2m7f. A 10lb rise makes life more difficult but the booking of a useful claimer helps to ease the burden. Favori De Champdou completed a hat-trick when taking a Grade 2 over this distance at the Limerick Christmas meeting, with Harry Des Ongrais back in third, but spoiled his chance by running too freely in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham. Seabank Bistro ran too bad to be true in the same Grade 1 and both could easily bounce back here. Western Walk scored in good style on his first start for Jonathan Sweeney after a nine-month break, while others to consider include Landrake and Hardy Bloke.

VERDANT PLACE has improved with each run since being switched to handicaps and can complete the hat-trick with further progress likely. Seabank Bistro is worth another chance on handicap bow having been outclassed in the Albert Bartlett last time, with Western Walk another to consider after an impressive debut win for this stable.

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU disappointed at the Festival but had previously looked smart when winning a Grade 2 and he's on a good mark

Info	Form	Odds
1	14 1st (14) (3.5/1 +30%) Risk Belle	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(14) Risk Belle 3.5/1, 10/1, good neck third of 21 to Jazzy Matty in Boodles Juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) 25 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.
3	7 3rd (7) (16/1 -60%) Horantzau D'airy	16 16/1(-60%)	(7) Horantzau D'airy 16/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 13 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 5/6) 33 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut.
4	3 4th (3) (22/1 -120%) Magnor Glory	22 22/1(-120%)	(3) Magnor Glory 22/1, Steadily progressive 7-y-o who surpassed previous form to land Listowel handicap (2m) in September, deserving of extra credit given he came from further back than other principals. Absent since but he may yet have more to offer on that evidence.
5th	4 5th (4) (14/1 +0%) Tax For Max	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Tax For Max 14/1, Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in November. Eighteenth of 26 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, soft, 40/1) 24 days ago. Back down in trip.

Creditable sixth of 24 in handicap hurdle back at that venue in spring 2021. Unlikely to be lacking for fitness given connections and the market may prove a useful guide on belated return.
8th	16 8th (16) (8/1 -14%) Ballybawn Belter	8 8/1(-14%)	(16) Ballybawn Belter 8/1, Career best when winning 22-runner handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (17.7f, good to soft, 16/1) 62 days ago, driven out. Open to further progress.
9th	8 9th (8) (4/1 +60%) The Big Doyen	4 4/1(+60%)	(8) The Big Doyen 4/1, Promising sort. 13/2, 21¾ lengths last of 5 to Hunters Yarn in listed hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 55 days ago, left poorly placed. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Looks competitive on form.
10th	10 10th (10) (11/1 +45%) Hey Johnny	11 11/1(+45%)	(10) Hey Johnny 11/1, Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in January. 4/1, good 5 lengths third of 18 to Little Mixup in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Present mark within reach on that evidence and he's not out of things.
11th	2 11th (2) (9/1 +0%) Da Capo Glory	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Da Capo Glory 9/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner and similar form in defeat both starts since, fourth in Grade 3 Red Mills Trial at Gowran in February. Remains open to improvement now handicapping and he's one to consider.
12th	13 12th (13) (28/1 -12%) Little Mixup	28 28/1(-12%)	(13) Little Mixup 28/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this season. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 19 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
13th	12 13th (12) (7.5/1 -25%) Jazzy Matty	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(12) Jazzy Matty 7.5/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 21-runner Boodles Juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) 25 days ago, staying on to lead dying strides. Big shout again if this doesn't come too soon.
14th	9 14th (9) (40/1 -21%) Wajaaha	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) Wajaaha 40/1, Flat/hurdles winner for Charles Byrnes late last year and better than bare result when seventh in Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso (16.2f) in March. Ran poorly back on the level at Navan later that month and bounce back called for now.
15th	1 15th (1) (28/1 -133%) Shanroe	28 28/1(-133%)	(1) Shanroe 28/1, C&D winner. 8/1, respectable second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ascot (15.7f, good to soft) 141 days ago, keeping on run-in. Each-way claims with a repeat.
16th	15 16th (15) (80/1 -60%) Vultan	80 80/1(-60%)	(15) Vultan 80/1, Useful winner at 12f on Flat who built on hurdles debut effort to land Gowran maiden (2m) in October 2021 (final start for Joseph O'Brien). However, well held all 3 starts for this yard, 40 lengths thirteenth of 18 to Little Mixup in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f) 6 weeks ago.
5	5 \|DQ\| (5) (8/1 +33%) Monbeg Park	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) Monbeg Park 8/1, Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in November. Very good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20f, heavy, 16/5) 22 days ago, keeping on to pull clear of remainder. Up 3 lb in what rates a stronger affair but he remains low-mileage.

LTO Selection:

RISK BELLE was a well-backed favourite for the mares' handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival but came down at halfway. She looked the likely winner of the Fred Winter at Cheltenham on her next start but was run out of things up the hill. A dual winner in France before joining Willie Mullins, she's clearly on a competitive mark. Fred Winter hero Jazzy Matty is reunited with Michael O'Sullivan and meets the selection on the same terms so has to enter calculations again. Ballybawn Belter got a 10lb hike for winning the aforementioned mares' handicap at Leopardstown but gets to race off a feather weight in this stronger contest with another in-form claimer in the saddle. Hey Johnny has been running well since winning at Thurles in January and all four of his wins have come at right-handed tracks.

This could well go to one of the 4-y-os with RISK BELLE narrowly selected to come out on top. Third behind re-opposing Jazzy Matty in last month's Boodles Juvenile at the Cheltenham Festival, she was arguably deserving of extra credit having come from off the pace to briefly take up the lead and there should be more to come on the back of just 6 starts. Aforementioned Jazzy Matty rates a big threat however, along with The Big Doyen and Da Capo Glory.

WAJAAHA ran well for a long way in the Morebattle when last seen over timber and his subsequent Flat run is best ignored

4	8 4th (8) (1.75/1 +56%) Theatre Native	1.75 1.75/1(+56%)	(8) Theatre Native 1.75/1, €24,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/smart hurdler Theatre Glory. Well clear when fell last sole start in points (Nov 2022). Interesting Rules newcomer.
5th	5 5th (5) (11/1 -83%) West End Victory	11 11/1(-83%)	(5) West End Victory 11/1, Won 15-runner bumper (11/10) at Thurles (16.3f, good to soft) on NH debut 44 days ago, always holding on. Should progress and well worthy of consideration.
6th	1 6th (1) (3.5/1 -100%) Arctic Fly	3.5 3.5/1(-100%)	(1) Arctic Fly 3.5/1, Won 10-runner bumper at Leopardstown (16f, soft, 4/6) on NH debut 33 days ago. Open to improvement and looks the stable first string on jockey bookings.
7th	6 7th (6) (28/1 +0%) Ascending Lark	28 28/1(+0%)	(6) Ascending Lark 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, third of 9 in bumper at Gowran (17f, heavy) 49 days ago.
8th	4 8th (4) (12/1 +33%) Marie Philippe	12 12/1(+33%)	(4) Marie Philippe 12/1, C&D winner on debut. 5/1, tailed-off last of 7 to Fun Fun Fun in Grade 2 mares bumper at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 62 days ago. Could bounce back.
9th	2 9th (2) (7/1 +30%) Brianna Lily	7 7/1(+30%)	(2) Brianna Lily 7/1, Lightly-raced winner in bumpers. Excellent second of 6 in bumper at Naas (15.4f, soft, 10/1) 27 days ago, better placed than most. Respected.

LTO Selection:

Willie Mullins has three last-time-out winners and ARCTIC FLY is the apparent first-string according to jockey bookings. Out of a sister to the yard's County Hurdle winner Arctic Fire, she justified odds-on favouritism when scoring on debut at Leopardstown last month. Marie Philippe looked a nice prospect when winning over C&D on debut. She scoped wrong after dropping right out in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown and a line can be drawn through that run. Theatre Native, a half-sister to a couple of bumper winners who have gone on to be useful hurdlers, was well clear when falling at the last in her only point-to-point and has since joined the connections of Honeysuckle. She could be a danger to all on her Rules debut.

Willie Mullins appears to have a stranglehold on this race and ARCTIC FLY, who is the choice of Patrick, could be the way to go, with stablemates Cuta Des As And West End Victory both well respected.

We'll row in with Patrick Mullins here and Leopardstown winner ARCTIC FLY is the selection; C&D winner Marie Philippe can contend

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.
