|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (11/2 +15%)King In Love |
11/2(+15%) | (10) King In Love 11/2, Ideally suited by trip when scored by 7l off 90 at Naas penultimate start; second beaten 1/2l off 101 last time where outstayed late; down in trip; probably bit to come Progressive this spring; 2m winner at Naas and narrowly beaten over 2m3f at same venue. |

KING IN LOVE has progressed well this year, winning at Naas on his penultimate start, and should appreciate the drop back to 2m having been caught close home over 2m3f last time. Solsbury Hill won an 18-runner Leopardstown maiden over this trip and the form of his subsequent third to Mercury Mission and Imadpour at Wexford has worked out very well since. Chosen Diamond relished testing conditions when scoring over 2m4f here earlier this year and the form of his second to Dunboyne at Navan last month has been well advertised. Stuntman Steve and Last Kingdom are others to consider.

Plenty with chances but, for local connections, KOOL ONE is taken to score with ground conditions set the to suit the four-year-old

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Wendrock has run at all three big Festival meetings this year, including when fifth to Murcia at Aintree last time, and may be vulnerable to a fresher rival in ITS BILBO. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding won a Punchestown maiden on soft ground and was far from disgraced behind Hello Neighbour in a Leopardstown Grade 2 over Christmas. He was narrowly denied on his only outing since at Limerick last month, while Blue Lemons also handled soft ground when winning a Gowran maiden but needs to bounce back after disappointing in the Triumph Hurdle.

The selection is ITS BILBO who lost little in defeat when just foiled by a useful type at Limerick and won't mind the soft ground

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (28/1 -250%)Clodders Dream |
28/1(-250%) | (5) Clodders Dream 28/1, Benefited from positive ride landing a handicap by 2l off 120 over 2m4f at Tipperary last time; returning from long layoff; bit to find Not seen since winning on handicap debut at Tipperary (2m4f, yielding) in July; up 8lb. |

COME WALK WITH ME has come up against some smart sorts in maidens and gets the vote on his handicap debut. The locally-trained gelding filled the runner-up spot behind Sounds Victorius over 2m4f here on New Year's Day and also finished second on both outings since, including behind Redemption Day at Naas. The lightly-raced Farmers Lodge is on a hat-trick and handles cut in the ground well, while Oscars Brother is also reappearing after a break and was only narrowly denied last time in a valuable 3m1f Navan handicap. Lucky Lyreen, Mordor and UK raider Idefix De Ciergues are others to note.

He didn't perform at Cheltenham but course winner LUCKY LYREEN ran well on his previous two starts and has fair each-way claims

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (17/2 -13%)Kala Conti |
17/2(-13%) | (9) Kala Conti 17/2, Below par well beaten in Close Brothers Mares' Hurdle (Grade 1) at Cheltenham latest; usually consistent; danger if stamina holds up but that is a worry Classy mare and admirably consistent until disappointing at the Cheltenham Festival. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

There is little to choose between Colonel Mustard, Beacon Edge, Staffordshire Knot and SANDOR CLEGANE on running behind Jimmy Du Seuil in the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and slight preference is for the Paul Nolan-trained gelding, who is quite well treated by the conditions of this race and won't be inconvenienced by soft ground. Kopeck De Mee was well touted prior to disappointing on his debut for current connections at the Cheltenham Festival, but showed the talk wasn't misplaced when just failing to land a valuable 2m4f handicap at Aintree. Lantry Lady has been lightly raced since finishing fourth to Lossiemouth at Cheltenham last year, while Kala Conti is another talented mare to consider.

This has the look of an open renewal. KOPECK DE MEE really should have won at Aintree and he can improve again on this testing ground.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

HEART WOOD is well treated at the weights and may prove difficult to beat. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding got his season off to a winning start on soft ground at Wexford and has shaped well on all three outings since in Grade 1 company, including when second to the impressive Fact To File in the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham. Riding arrangements suggest Blood Destiny, who handles soft ground well and is lightly raced this season, is preferred of Willie Mullins' trio, while stablemate Saint Sam has proved a great servant to connections in this type of event.

Several of these have questions to answer whereas HEART WOOD (nap) arrives here with his claims boosted by a fine second in the Ryanair

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Haiti Couleurs is an obvious contender coming here off the back of winning the National Hunt Chase over a similar trip at the Cheltenham Festival. However, NOW IS THE HOUR was still in contention when falling two out and enjoys a 4lb swing in the weights, plus he relishes testing conditions. The recent wet spell has also come in time for stablemate Bioluminescence, who won a Grade 2 on her chasing debut at Limerick and stays well, while stamina will not be a concern for Any Second Now, who was runner-up here last year and is now 1lb lower. Daily Present beat Johnnywho by a neck in the Kim Muir, while Dunboyne and Bushmans Pass also landed valuable staying handicap chases last time.

This will be a serious test of stamina in the conditions. NOW IS THE HOUR may have the resources required for a battle of attrition.

BETTER TIMES AHEAD was runner-up to subsequent Scottish National winner Macdermott in this race last year and was just denied over a similar trip the following month at the Punchestown Festival. The Robert Tyner-trained gelding is well suited by testing ground and should be ready to peak after two outings this year. Folly Master beat Rolly Bowley Boy over almost 2m4f at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and shouldn't have stamina concerns having also won a 2m7f handicap hurdle. Union Station was only sent chasing this year and appreciated the step up in trip when runner-up to Brandt over 3m4f at Leopardstown last month.

Folly Master is feared but BETTER TIMES AHEAD was a clear second in this last year behind the well-handicapped Macdermott.

SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY won two bumpers last term, including a Limerick Listed race in impressive fashion, and ran a cracker on his belated seasonal debut at the Cheltenham Festival. The Tom Cooper-trained gelding had Sortudo four lengths behind when finishing third to Bambino Fever and could progress further with that run under his belt. Kovanis was bought for 330,000 pounds after easily winning a point-to-point back in the autumn and justified favouritism in a bumper at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting, while C&D winner I'll Sort That handled testing conditions well when following up at Naas last time.

The form of the Champion Bumper gets a runout and third-placed SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY finished some 4l ahead of Sortudo.

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.
