Back down in trip. Went close in h'cap hurdle from low mark; tailed off both chase starts; plenty to find.

Creditable 1¾ lengths second of 6 to Hercule Du Seuil in Hardy Eustace Novices' Hurdle (6/5) at this course (16f, good to soft). Off 8 months ahead of this chase debut. Big player.

Pulled up on 3 of her 4 starts between the flags (well beaten on the sole occasion that she completed). Wears hood. Shown nothing in four points; hood on for rules debut.

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to look past HUNTERS YARN as he attempts to follow in the footsteps of top-class stablemate El Fabiolo, who took this contest 12 months ago. A winner of two of his five starts last season, and runner-up in a Grade 2 here when last seen in April, the six-year-old just about sets the standard on form and is preferred to Sa Fureur, who didn't look done with when falling three out in a strong contest on his chasing debut at Navan. Not seen in action since the Royal Bond here last year, Polo Lounge cannot be ruled out either.

HUNTERS YARN's connections are responsible for the winners of the last two runnings of this maiden chase, namely Blue Lord and El Fabiolo, and the 6-y-o is taken to follow in the footsteps of his classy stable companions. He chased home fellow Mullins inmate Hercule Du Seuil in a Grade 2 novice hurdle here when last seen in April, and the winner has since scored five times over fences. Sa Fureur is the clear main danger, while Byker is a tempting each-way option.

With his form working out nicely, HUNTERS YARN (nap), could be the one if he takes to fences having proven himself at graded level

12:30 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (11/2 +35%) Emancipator	5.5 11/2(+35%)	(8) Emancipator 11/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Gowran in September. Fifth of 7 in handicap chase (6/4) at Galway (22.5f, heavy) 48 days ago. More is needed. Won h'cap chase at Clonmel last term; returned with hurdle win before lesser run at Galway.

Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Player. Won latest chase start and in good form over timber since; fine on ground; back up in trip.
3	10 3rd (10) (3/1 +54%) Where's Frankie	3 3/1(+54%)	(10) Where's Frankie 3/1, Course winner. 5/1, good 4 lengths third of 9 to So Des Flos in handicap chase at this course (21.5f, soft) 14 days ago. In the mix Course winner; missed last season; encouraging return and is a player if he doesn't bounce.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 +27%) So Des Flos	4 4/1(+27%)	(2) So Des Flos 4/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 9/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at this course (21.5f, soft) 14 days ago. Yard in good form. Open to improvement. Off the mark over fences on h'cap debut here latest; up 8lb but further should suit.
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 -146%) Old Soul	16 16/1(-146%)	(7) Old Soul 16/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, good second of 7 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy, 6/1) 48 days ago. Not taken lightly. Won beginners' at Clonmel last season and left a low-key return behind when 2nd latest.
6th	1 6th (1) (66/1 -164%) Ex Patriot	66 66/1(-164%)	(1) Ex Patriot 66/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (25/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip with work to do. No wins since 2019 and pulled up a long way out on return from lengthy absence last month.
7th	4 7th (4) (6/1 -71%) Potters Party	6 6/1(-71%)	(4) Potters Party 6/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 7/1, career best when winning 10-runner novice chase at this course (24.5f, heavy) 39 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Considered. Off the mark at 3rd attempt over fences latest; can still improve in jumping department.
8th	3 8th (3) (16/1 -33%) Everglow	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Everglow 16/1, Respectable fifth of 18 in handicap chase (22/1) at this course (29.6f, soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers back on. Easy to look elsewhere. Won beginners' last summer; hasn't kicked on in h'caps; best form on quicker ground.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (20/1 -122%) Temptationinmilan	20 20/1(-122%)	(5) Temptationinmilan 20/1, Eleventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft, 10/1) 41 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won twice over fences last season; low-key hurdle return but could come on for that.

LTO Selection:

A major improver on the step up beyond three miles when scoring comfortably at this venue last time out, POTTERS PARTY should have plenty more to come and a mark of 121 looks manageable on his handicap debut. A winner here in a ladies' handicap a couple of weeks ago, So Des Flos is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Clonmeen, who is progressing well. Fairyhouse specialist Where's Frankie is another key player with Rachael Blackmore taking over in the saddle.

POSITIVE THINKER arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to bag a third win of the season back chasing at the chief expense of Gordon Elliott's course-scorer So Des Flos. Old Soul appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

It's hard to rule any of these out but SO DES FLOS having given the impression he had plenty left when winning here last time

12:30 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:05 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (5/4 -4%) Pacini	1.25 5/4(-4%)	(4) Pacini 5/4, Fair Flat winner who again showed promise when fourth of 12 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 21 days ago. Stable in good form. Bold bid expected. Shown promise in 2 runs at Punchestown for new yard; has made errors but more to come.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/2 -22%) Hey Whatever	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(9) Hey Whatever 11/2, Fair in maidens on Flat, stays 1½m, shaped as if still in good form last time. Has left Noel Meade but joined another top yard ahead of hurdle debut. 0-7 on Flat but showed useful form before 26,000euros sale; second-string.
3	8 3rd (8) (2/1 +29%) Green Sky	2 2/1(+29%)	(8) Green Sky 2/1, Fairly useful Flat winner but unproven beyond 9.5 and shaped like a non-stayer when sixth of 12 on Punchestown hurdle debut 3 weeks ago. Achieved fair level on the Flat and showed up well for a long way on hurdle bow last month.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 -27%) Superbolt	14 14/1(-27%)	(6) Superbolt 14/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who was considerably handled when well beaten in Grade 3 at this course on hurdling debut 13 days ago. Eyecatching Flat debut; tailed off at 200s in Gr 3 over timber but this is more realistic.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 +9%) Tranquil Sea	10 10/1(+9%)	(7) Tranquil Sea 10/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in juvenile hurdle (33/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 21 days ago. Will be of more interest in handicaps after this. Jumping improved a little latest and while more is required, can't put a line through him.
6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 -142%) So Messi	80 80/1(-142%)	(5) So Messi 80/1, Modest maiden on Flat (best effort at 1m), runner-up in handicap penultimate outing, well below form last time. Tongue tied for hurdle debut. Operated at a low level on the Flat and his pedigree isn't an obvious pointer to this game.
7th	2 7th (2) (16/1 -88%) Lunar Landscape	16 16/1(-88%)	(2) Lunar Landscape 16/1, Fair maiden handicapper on Flat, stays 1¼m, back to form last time (sole outing for Nigel Tinkler). Market possibly best guide on this switch to hurdling. 0-10 on the level in Britain; went close latest (1m2f); more of a long term prospect.
8th	1 8th (1) (150/1 -88%) Clady River	150 150/1(-88%)	(1) Clady River 150/1, Green when well held in maiden sole start on Flat for Matthew J. Smith. Tailed off 100-1 shot in a Flat maiden on debut on AW; new yard and best watched.
9th	10 9th (10) (200/1 -300%) Tasmanian Girl	200 200/1(-300%)	(10) Tasmanian Girl 200/1, Modest maiden on the Flat who fell at the first in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16.8f, heavy) on NH debut 6 days ago. 80-1 and fell at the first last week and hard to recommend on the back of that.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (25/1 -25%) National Emblem	25 25/1(-25%)	(3) National Emblem 25/1, Regressive on the Flat and was well held switched to hurdling at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 35 days ago. Showed fair level of form on Flat; distant 4th on hurdle bow; jumping needs to improve.

LTO Selection:

A winner on the Flat when trained in France, Pacini hasn't been able to replicate that level of form over timber but he's in top hands to progress and must enter the reckoning. However, it might be worth taking a chance on stablemate HEY WHATEVER. She achieved a peak rating of 76 on the level and ought to be more than capable if taking to this new discipline. Green Sky heads the remainder.

PACINI has shown enough on both his starts over hurdles to suggest he can win a race of this nature, so he's fancied to make it third time lucky. Hey Whatever, a stablemate of the selection, is preferred to Green Sky for forecast purposes.

There was plenty to like about GREEN SKY's hurdle debut last month when shaping like she needed it and the yard excel with 3yo hurdlers

13:05 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:40 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 16f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (6/1 +50%) Don't Talk	6 6/1(+50%)	(8) Don't Talk 6/1, 8/1, below form eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (16f, soft) 70 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Promise last season but struggled both runs this term and tailed off over C&D latest.
2	12 2nd (12) (10/1 +29%) Robindevidastar	10 10/1(+29%)	(12) Robindevidastar 10/1, Respectable ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft, 28/1) 18 days ago. Down in trip. Can give a good account. 2m6f winner at Downpatrick in August but poor form twice since and 2m unlikely to help.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/2 -214%) Mr Social	5.5 11/2(-214%)	(11) Mr Social 11/2, Winner in hurdle at Tramore in August. Respectable 10 lengths third of 10 to Moneynabane in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.5f, soft, 15/8) 71 days ago. Back down in trip. Can make presence felt. Winner at Tramore in August and running well in defeat since; drops in trip.
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 +73%) Magic Olinger	3 3/1(+73%)	(2) Magic Olinger 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, creditable ninth of 24 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, soft) 14 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Uphill task. Shown promise in bumpers and hurdles; makes h'cap debut but probably needs further.
5th	13 5th (13) (10/1 -122%) Brilliant Question	10 10/1(-122%)	(13) Brilliant Question 10/1, Caught the eye returned to hurdling when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 25 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. 0-26; ran okay when 4th in similar ground over 2m last month; not ruled out.
6th	7 6th (7) (50/1 +0%) Letters To Juliet	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Letters To Juliet 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 20 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Promise in Sligo maiden hurdle but lesser efforts twice since and tailed off at 66s latest.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +65%) The Vegas Raider	14 14/1(+65%)	(6) The Vegas Raider 14/1, Fourteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at this course (19.8f, soft) 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. 2nd in maiden hurdle in August but struggled in h'caps since; best form on quicker ground.
8th	10 8th (10) (25/1 -56%) Shanroe Act	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Shanroe Act 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 250/1, sixteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy). Off 9 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Shown nothing in four runs in maiden hurdles and has been off 271 days; hard to recommend.
9th	9 9th (9) (15/2 +17%) Spanish John	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(9) Spanish John 15/2, 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (12f, heavy) 41 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Back down in trip. Not ruled out at these weights. Winning return in August but really lost his way since; well held 5th on Flat latest.
10th	3 10th (3) (13/2 +7%) Virtual Oscar	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(3) Virtual Oscar 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (15.8f, good, 8/1). Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving Dermot Anthony McLoughlin. Merits consideration. Several good runs in 2022 and likely on a good mark but has been off 455 days.
11th	5 11th (5) (15/2 -15%) Not Before Time	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(5) Not Before Time 15/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft, 33/1) 18 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. 3 promising runs in maiden hurdles; h'capper been fair but drop in trip not sure to suit.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (28/1 -100%) Moneynabane	28 28/1(-100%)	(4) Moneynabane 28/1, Winner in hurdle at Downpatrick in October. 33/1, fourteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (24.1f, soft) 36 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Winner at Downpatrick in October but tailed off twice since and mark looks stiff.

LTO Selection:

MR SOCIAL has been running to a consistent level since winning at Tramore in August and appears to have been found a good opportunity to cash in on that spell of good form. Not Before Time makes her handicap bow from a potentially lenient mark so it would be no surprise were she to take a step forward, while Virtual Oscar and Robindevidastar are just two others to consider.

BRILLIANT QUESTION rates the pick of these weights so looks the way to go on the back of her eye-catching Limerick fourth last time out. Handicap debutante Not Before Time could improve enough to pose the chief threat, with Mr Social and Spanish John two others to consider.

The tentative vote goes to BRILLIANT QUESTION who ran well in similar ground last month and she might have a race in her from this mark

14:15 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 23f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (7/2 -75%) Chigorin	3.5 7/2(-75%)	(2) Chigorin 7/2, Placed sole outing in points and showed plenty to work on when third of 14 in maiden hurdle (25/1) at Naas (18.9f, soft) on NH debut 34 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve. Outstayed for second by Prince Palace on Naas debut; should improve.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -85%) Prince Palace	12 12/1(-85%)	(5) Prince Palace 12/1, Twice-raced maiden who went backwards from an encouraging hurdling debut when fifth of 17 in maiden at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy) 9 days ago. Still early days and could get back on track up in trip. Promising Naas debut run wasn't backed up at Clonmel; now steps up in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/6 +64%) O'moore Park	0.666667 4/6(+64%)	(3) O'moore Park 4/6, Showed fairly useful form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers. Off 19 months but still rates an interesting hurdling debutant with the much longer trip likely to suit on pedigree. Placed form in bumpers and respected despite long absence.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 -82%) Zaidi	5 5/1(-82%)	(1) Zaidi 5/1, Bumper winner who is proving expensive to follow over hurdles, turning down another good opportunity when turned over at 1/2 at Sligo 50 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Below best at Sligo but definite contender on previous form if staying.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 +39%) Jazzie De Chaillac	20 20/1(+39%)	(8) Jazzie De Chaillac 20/1, Failed to complete both starts in points and ended up well held when fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at this course (20.2f, heavy) on NH debut 22 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Headstrong on last month's debut here; hood now fitted.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 +0%) Reversal	11 11/1(+0%)	(6) Reversal 11/1, Showed much more than on debut when third of 7 in maiden hurdle (66/1) at Galway (21.4f, heavy) 48 days ago. Galway third going the right way although this looks more competitive.
7th	7 7th (7) (200/1 -203%) Sam The Great	200 200/1(-203%)	(7) Sam The Great 200/1, £800 3-y-o, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Global Jackpot. Dam (h89), maiden hurdler (stayed 3¼m), useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Mon Villez. Cheaply bought newcomer likely all the better for the experience.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (300/1 -100%) Oneforbaz	300 300/1(-100%)	(4) Oneforbaz 300/1, Last of 17 in maiden hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy, 150/1) on NH debut 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Shirocco 5yo tailed off on recent Cork hurdles debut, easily overlooked now.

LTO Selection:

O'MOORE PARK hasn't been seen on a racecourse since finishing third in a warm Punchestown Festival bumper 596 days ago, but it's interesting that connections have opted to keep the Walk In The Park gelding in training. He chased home a couple of useful types that day so if he's anywhere near that level now sent over timber, he could be hard to beat. Chigorin and Zaidi, who could improve for the addition of first-time cheekpieces, are feared most.

O'MOORE PARK has a 19-month absence to overcome but he showed fairly useful form in bumpers and has a pedigree that suggests this much longer trip should suit now hurdling. He gets the nod, ahead of Chigorin, who showed plenty to work on when third on his debut in this sphere at Naas last month. Prince Palace can also have a say if showing something like his debut form.

ZAIDI needs to bounce back from a poor Sligo run but experience and cheekpieces could just give him the edge here

14:50 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 23f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 +50%) Pictures Of Home	10 10/1(+50%)	(8) Pictures Of Home 10/1, Eighth of 20 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at this course (19.8f, soft) 14 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Sole win came in 2021; didn't jump well enough here 2 weeks ago; back up in trip.
2	11 2nd (11) (10/3 +67%) Kiln Time	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(11) Kiln Time 10/3, Winner in hurdle at Wexford in November. 6/1, creditable fifth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy) 4 days ago. In good form but could only finish distant 5th at Punchestown this week.

Should remain competitive up 6 lb. Off the mark when dropped to 2m4f (heavy) last month; 6lb rise fair; may build on that.
5th	9 5th (9) (4/1 +67%) Danny The Fence	4 4/1(+67%)	(9) Danny The Fence 4/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 12/1, fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Clonmel (17.9f, heavy) on debut over fences 9 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly back up in trip. C&D winner last month; unsuitable chase test since; 9lb higher than winning mark.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/2 -10%) Happy Dreams	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(6) Happy Dreams 11/2, Course winner. Good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy, 18/5) 25 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Course winner; 2 solid efforts this term and won from higher chase mark last term.
7th	5 7th (5) (13/2 +0%) Great Island	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(5) Great Island 13/2, Winner in hurdle at Gowran in September. Creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Limerick (21f, heavy) 25 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Bolted up on h'cap debut; possibly held by h'capper since but new trip may suit.
8th	13 8th (13) (50/1 -52%) Drimsree Lad	50 50/1(-52%)	(13) Drimsree Lad 50/1, Remains a maiden after 25 NH runs. Fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (23.8f, heavy, 20/1) 39 days ago. Very hard to make a case for. Veteran; point winner in 2017 but 0-25 under rules and he's 3lb wrong here.
9th	12 9th (12) (25/1 -25%) Cruisin Susan	25 25/1(-25%)	(12) Cruisin Susan 25/1, Last of 6 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, heavy, 66/1) 4 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Maiden hurdle winner last summer; generally running well in defeat since; up in trip.
10th	2 10th (2) (11/1 -214%) Ragin Cajun	11 11/1(-214%)	(2) Ragin Cajun 11/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.6f, soft, 14/1) 23 days ago, readily. Respected. Won 2 of his last 3 starts; career best latest; back up in trip but up 10lb.
11th	10 11th (10) (11/1 -175%) Tangental	11 11/1(-175%)	(10) Tangental 11/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle (3/1) at Wexford (24.2f, good to soft), closing all way to line. Off 7 months. Can make presence felt if ready to roll. Course winner; won at Clonmel in March and ran well in defeat after; off 210 days.
12th	3 12th (3) (80/1 -60%) Welsh Saint	80 80/1(-60%)	(3) Welsh Saint 80/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 125/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, soft) 35 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Lost his way over fences lately; return to this sphere needs to spark revival; ground fine.

LTO Selection:

TANGENTAL caught the eye last time out with a Wexford third over three miles off a mark just 1lb lower and if he can be kept that fraction nearer to the early pace here, he appears to have an excellent chance. Ragin Cajun had a bit in hand when successful at Thurles but has an added 10lb, which may stop the follow-up, while Welsh Saint could get his favoured heavy ground and is potentially well handicapped if connections can get him back to his 2020 form.

GREAT ISLAND has had a good spell since switching to handicaps and might be able to get his head back in front. Happy Dreams finished a place ahead of the selection at Limerick last time and is second choice ahead of Ragin Cajun and the returning Tangental.

HAPPY DREAMS has been running well in defeat of late, handles these conditions well and his hurdle mark remains workable

Soldier Of Fortune filly cost 35,000euros; market possibly best guide on debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (22/1 -38%) Discussion	22 22/1(-38%)	(1) Discussion 22/1, Dawn Approach filly. Half-sister to 2 winners, including useful hurdler Wolf Prince, stays 2½m. Dam unraced. Half-sister to useful hurdler Wolf Prince; probably best watched on debut.

4	8 4th (8) (9/1 +10%) Rainbow Lily	9 9/1(+10%)	(8) Rainbow Lily 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 15 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 13/2). Off 7 months. Trainer going well. Absent since disappointing Sligo run in May but return to softer ground could suit.
5th	3 5th (3) (1/2 +64%) El Fabienne	0.5 1/2(+64%)	(3) El Fabienne 1/2, €40,000 3-y-o, Spanish Moon filly. Dam unraced half-sister to top-class chaser (winner around 2m) El Fabiolo (by Spanish Moon). Runner-up sole start in points (Apr 8). From an excellent family and well worth a chance to make a successful Rules debut. Out of half-sister to El Fabiolo; points' second of obvious appeal from top yard.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/2 -80%) Doyen Magic	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(2) Doyen Magic 9/2, €50,000 3-y-o, £140,000 4-y-o, Doyen filly. Closely related to fairly useful 21f hurdle winner Ms Agartha Yeats and fair hurdler Bennystiara. Won sole start in points (Feb 2023). Point winner cost GBP140,000; interesting, especially if market support arrives.
7th	5 7th (5) (200/1 -100%) Little Green Lady	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Little Green Lady 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, thirteenth of 14 in bumper at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Never sighted when tailed off on Clonmel debut in May; time off since, can only be watched.

9th	9 9th (9) (6/1 -71%) Western Princess	6 6/1(-71%)	(9) Western Princess 6/1, €35,000 3-y-o, Westerner filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Enniskerry and useful hurdler/smart chaser Good Boy Bobby. With a top yard and makes plenty of appeal on pedigree. Yard's second-string on jockey bookings but demands respect nonetheless.

LTO Selection:

Willie Mullins has won two of the last six renewals and is double-handed, with point-to-point runner-up El Fabienne possibly the stable pick, ahead of the unraced Westerner filly Western Princess. Both are well worth a market watch for signs of confidence, but a chance is taken on DOYEN MAGIC. An easy winner on her sole appearance between the flags, she was snapped up for 140,000 pounds shortly after and as a daughter of Doyen, she is expected to have the speed to be effective at this trip.

EL FABIENNE has shown plenty between the flags, is from a stable knows well and looks the first string on jockey bookings, so he takes preference over Western Prince, who also makes plenty of appeal on paper. Doyen Magic, another point recruit, also has the potential to be above average.

Points' second EL FABIENNE gets the nod to make a winning start under Rules with stablemate Western Princess a likely threat

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.
