(4) Queen Jane 11/2, Promising individual. Won Clonmel maiden and Limerick handicap on first 2 chase starts. Upsides when fell last in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good to soft) in April. Remains capable of better and leading claims on reappearance.

11:55 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

QUEEN JANE may be able to score here on her return to action. The Mahler mare was progressive last season, winning her first two chase starts before falling at Punchestown when coming to fight out the finish in another competitive mares' handicap. She is just 1lb higher now and looks capable of further improvement. It was a dramatic race at Punchestown in April with Bonnie Kellie also crashing out at the final fence, leaving Indie Belle to pick up the pieces. Sam Curling's charge has already visited the winner's enclosure this season, scoring at Clonmel in October. She is 9lb worse off with Queen Jane now. Brides Hill tops the weights and was an easy winner in novice company at Listowel. She is another who has to be on the shortlist.

QUEEN JANE might be unbeaten over fences but for a last-fence fall at Punchestown in April and can make a successful return to action. Gavin Cromwell won this race last year and his Brides Hill, a winner on her Listowel reappearance in September, is feared most ahead of Bonnie Kellie.

It is hard to get away from BRIDES HILL(nap), a Listed winner last season and perhaps better than ever when bolting up at Listowel

6/1(+63%)
(7) Ose Partir 6/1, 5/1 and hooded, shaped well on first run since leaving J. Boisnard when 1¼ lengths second of 10 to Kaleosun in juvenile at Galway (16.4f, heavy) on hurdling debut just over 5 weeks ago, closing all way to line under hands-and-heels riding. Seems sure to progress.
Tenderly ridden second at Galway; good chance of turning the tables and getting involved.

(1) Batman Girac (7/4 +47%)
Batman Girac

1.75
7/4(+47%)
(1) Batman Girac 7/4, Improved from debut when won 9-runner 3-y-o event at Compiegne (by 3 lengths from Kart de Thaix, driven out after leading approaching 2 out), back in April. Has since left E. Grall (€150,000) and looks sure to improve further having joined a top yard.
Hooded for his Irish debut and likely to be a factor here for the champion duo.
10
(10) Nara (11/2 -65%)
Nara

5.5
11/2(-65%)
(10) Nara 11/2, Fairly useful form when winning listed newcomers race at Auteuil (by 8 lengths from Koko Star, asserting run-in) on hurdling debut back in April. Has since left Mme P. Butel & J-L. Beaunez and she's open to any amount of improvement.
Impressive winner of a Listed fillies hurdle at Auteuil in April; could well be anything.
9
(9) Kala Conti (11/4 -46%)
Kala Conti

2.75
11/4(-46%)
(9) Kala Conti 11/4, Made a winning start to her career in a hurdle at Compiegne back in May and completed a simple task on return/yard debut at Navan in 3-runner juvenile hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 2 weeks ago. Remains open to improvement, so she's high on the shortlist.
Won a three-runner race at Navan last month in a common canter; very promising recruit.
4
(4) Kaleosun (16/1 -14%)
Kaleosun

16
16/1(-14%)
(4) Kaleosun 16/1, Bumper winner in France who showed the benefit of his hurdling debut when winning 10-runner juvenile hurdle at Galway (16.4f, heavy, 5/2) just over 5 weeks ago by 1¼ lengths from Ose Partir, always holding on. Will need to improve further to take this.
Should run his race, although he will do well to confirm Galway placings with Ose Partir.

Eagle Fang

16/1(+36%)
(2) Eagle Fang 16/1, Once raced on the Flat for Keith Dalgleish and has made a promising start over hurdles, finishing runner-up twice in juvenile events in recent weeks. Step forward required if he's to feature in this, however.
Runner-up twice; worth a try in a race like this but far more needed to be a factor.
6
(6) Nurburgring (17/2 -70%)
Nurburgring

8.5
17/2(-70%)
(6) Nurburgring 17/2, Useful winner at 13f on Flat. Made a winning debut in this sphere at Killarney before second of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft, 8/15) 11 weeks ago (first past the post but subsequently disqualified). Can improve further.
First home in both starts;could easily be more to come from him; gelded since his last run.
3
(3) Hamsiyann (100/1 -525%)
Hamsiyann

100
100/1(-525%)
(3) Hamsiyann 100/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France, won twice in 2023. Left Jean-Claude Rouget €250,000 in July (and gelded), so worth a second look in the betting for all this looks a tough task on hurdling debut.
Clearly an interesting newcomer although chances are he will improve for this.
8

Superbolt

200
200/1(-100%)
(8) Superbolt 200/1, Considerately handled in maiden sole start on Flat for Joseph Patrick O'Brien. This is a stiff task on his first start over hurdles.
Showed some promise in a Navan Flat maiden in October; looks to have too much to do here.
5

Navy Beach

250
250/1(-279%)
(5) Navy Beach 250/1, Modest maiden on Flat, stays 1¼m. Tongue tie reapplied but he looks well out of his depth on hurdling debut.
Ordinary handicapper on the Flat and very much up against it on his hurdles debut.

12:25 Fairyhouse Conditions Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Willie Mullins picked out BATMAN GIRAC as a potential Triumph Hurdle challenger in a recent stable tour and it looks significant that he turns out here in the same race the stable won last year with Lossiemouth. The Bathyrhon gelding was a cosy winner on his second outing over hurdles in his native France and was snapped up for 150,000 euros at the sales the following month. Gordon Elliott runs two and jockey bookings would suggest that Kala Conti is the stable first choice. The Karaktar filly won easily on her Irish debut at Navan and although it probably wasn't the strongest contest, she couldn't have done it much more impressively. Nara is another intriguing runner on her first outing for Henry de Bromhead. The Jeu St Eloi filly won a Listed hurdle on her debut at Auteuil in April.

A competitive field with stacks of potential on show and it may pay to side with NARA, who bolted up in a listed newcomers event at Auteuil back in April and is open to any amount of improvement having joined leading connections. Batman Girac was snapped up for €150,000 at the sales following a cosy success at Compiegne 7 months ago so he heads up the dangers, with the unbeaten Kala Conti and Nurburgring another couple worth keeping a very close eye on.

Preference is for KALA CONTI who had a simple task at Navan last month but did it in a half-speed and looks very promising

(2) Minella Crooner 7/2, 4/1, matched previous best over fences when winning 4-runner listed chase at Wexford (23f, heavy) 16 days ago by ½ length from Joyeux Machin, digging deep. Back up in trip for handicap chase debut. One to bear in mind.

No sign of his best form in his three starts this season; makes little appeal for now.

12:55 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 30f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MINELLA CROONER is a real galloper and this kind of trip looks right up his street. The Shantou gelding won a decent little conditions race in Wexford on his return and connections expected him to improve from the run. He remains on the same mark of 144 and looks to have a nice race like this in him. Sir Bob and Call The Tune do battle again, with just a short head separating the pair in a driving finish to the Cork National early last month. Both went up 7lb after that race and there might not be a lot between them again. The mare My Design beat some higher-rated rivals in Galway and it will be interesting to see how she fares back in handicap company now.

A winner on return in listed company at Wexford 16 days ago, MINELLA CROONER has often shaped like he'd be suited by this sort of test and he could be the way to go on his handicap debut. Call The Tune and Diol Ker head up the dangers, with My Design another to consider.

Preference is for MY DESIGN, a model of consistency under both codes and could be ready to land one of these after winning at Galway

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

AN TOBAR looked very smart when making a winning 'track' debut over C&D last month and can confirm that impression. The Gentlewave gelding, a point-to-point winner in January 2022, met with a 'little bit of a setback', forcing him to miss last season, and connections will be keen to make up for lost time. Encanto Bruno was impressive on his first start for Gavin Cromwell at Cheltenham in late October and that looks strong form. Softer ground now is a question mark for the Mahler gelding. Gordon Elliott runs three and Farren Glory would appear to be the number one hope on jockey bookings. The Fame And Glory gelding was impressive when taking his maiden hurdle at Clonmel last month. He was free enough that day and it's interesting to see him dropped in trip now.

AN TOBAR looked a highly exciting prospect when making a winning debut in a C&D maiden with plenty in hand and can take this step up in class in his stride. Encanto Bruno resumed progress when making a winning debut for this yard at Cheltenham in impressive fashion and is next best ahead of Farren Glory, who looks the pick of Gordon Elliott's trio.

Not a particularly strong race for a Grade 1. Impressive C&D maiden winner AN TOBAR may be equal to the challenge

(4) Perceval Legallois 28/1, Useful hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Galway in October. Running well fell in Gr 3 chase at Cork (20f, soft) 28 days ago won by Letsbeclearaboutit, yet to be asked for effort when fell 3 out.

14:00 Fairyhouse Novices Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LETSBECLEARABOUTIT has won both chase runs easily. Fourth in two Grade 1 hurdles last term, he steps up from his recent Grade 3 win but such was the manner of that easy success, he can progress further at this same distance. Six-time Grade 1-winning hurdler Sharjah won well at Galway and in a Tipperary Grade 3 in October. He lacks the size of the selection and is a late-comer to chasing aged 10, but nonetheless is high-class. Found A Fifty comfortably beat Colonel Mustard on his Down Royal chase debut and while he can progress, had nonetheless previously failed in two Grade 1 hurdles. Perceval Legallois, a 135-rated hurdler, was being niggled along when falling behind the selection at Cork and would prefer further. I Am Maximus won April's Irish National at this course and while a high-class stayer, his customary left-jumping tendency is a negative over this inadequate distance and he lacks race-fitness.

LETSBECLEARABOUTIT created an excellent impression when making it 2 from 2 over fences in a Grade 3 at Cork and can complete the hat-trick. Sharjah s doing plenty to justify his late-career switch to chasing and is feared most ahead of Found A Fifty, who looked a natural over fences when making a winning debut in this sphere at Down Royal on his return.

Gordon Elliott's FOUND A FIFTY won decisively on his chasing debut at Down Royal and may enhance the stable's fine record in this race

Prospering lately in staying handicaps at Galway and Cheltenham, vulnerable at this level.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Fairyhouse Conditions Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Connections of last year's winner TEAHUPOO will have a follow-up bid firmly in their sights and perhaps he can defeat Impaire Et Passe. The selection was the first horse to beat Honeysuckle when winning this race last year and while ultimately he is a stayer, he is high-class and will be ready on reappearance. Impaire Et Passe fits the mould of a Willie Mullins-trained horse with monstrous ability, but reappears in a race which his champion trainer has 'only' won three times. He impressively won at the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals last season but, in contrast to the selection, might have an eye to later targets this season. Ashroe Diamond is already a Fairyhouse specialist and while thoroughly dependable, faces a tougher task than the Grade 1 she won against her own sex here in April. Zanahiyr is race-fit and in form but is vulnerable to top-class rivals, while Buddy One is thoroughly progressive and consistent but steps out of handicap company.

IMPAIRE ET PASSE is hugely exciting and may emerge as the main threat to Constitution Hill's dominance over hurdles this term. He can take this, although expect last year's winner Teahupoo to put up a stiff fight. Ashroe Diamond probably shouldn't be dismissed either after her impressive win here in April.

Last year's winner TEAHUPOO has a good record when fresh and is a viable alternative to unbeaten Ballymore winner Impaire Et Passe

LTO Selection:

15:10 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FOXY GIRL ran well on recent handicap hurdle debut and might turn placings with two rivals and win. A capable keen-goer, she was anchored in rear at Down Royal and having finished nicely despite making a late mistake, should improve experience-wise and is 5lb better off with winner Magic Tricks and 1lb with runner-up The Model Kingdom - who both had a race-fitness edge. Media Naranja was defeated in one previous handicap and while raised 5lb for a recent Grade 3 placing, her rider claims 5lb. Her stablemate Ted Hastings ran well at Galway in October, while Flamborough won a recent maiden and has handicap experience. Conyers Hill faces a tougher task than when winning at Cork, while Coeur Sublime is in form from the Flat but his previous hurdle race was in December 2020. Jeff Kidder is a dual C&D winner but needs to return to form, while Royal Eagle was well beaten at Cheltenham. Common Practice runs in a first-time tongue-tie and was beaten 25 lengths at Naas.

Plenty are in with a shout. FOXY GIRL shaped well on her first go in handicaps when a running-on third at Down Royal and can build on that here to gain her second hurdling success. Ted Hastings figures on a handy mark and could emerge as the chief threat to Henry de Bromhead's low-mileage mare, although a solid case can also be made for The Model Kingdom, Magic Tricks, Flamborough and Conyers Hill.

Down Royal third FOXY GIRL has good prospects of turning the tables on the winner Magic Tricks and runner-up The Model Kingdom

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

PETIT SECRET was in contention when falling on point-to-point debut and has joined Willie Mullins, who raced his Grade 1-placed half-sister Analifet. A sibling to four black-type performers, he fell at the second-last when debuting for Pat Doyle at Lisronagh and could be smart. Bleu De Vassy was beaten by a well-backed winner at Sligo in October (His Nibs finished fourth) and is experienced, with his rider claiming 5lb. Stablemate Undeniable Alibi, a 170,000-euro three-year-old purchase, won readily on Punchestown point-to-point debut for Colin Bowe and has also joined top connections. That pointing form is just ordinary but he was the clear winner and it is encouraging connections run in a bumper. Skyville is a half-sister to black-type bumper winner Dixie Lee, with Finny Maguire riding her instead of tongue-tied stablemate Al Gasparo, on whom he won a Loughrea point-to-point for Ciaran Murphy last March. Fascinating Story, interestingly, derails from hurdling and could improve in a first-time hood.

BLEU DE VASSY might be able to make his experience tell having finished a good second at Sligo, although stablemate Undeniable Alibi and Petit Secret are obvious dangers first time up in this sphere.

The one to be on could be the Elliott runner UNDENIABLE ALIBI, impressive point winner for Colin Bowe in February at Punchestown

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.
