5	5 (5) (5.5/1 +0%) We'llhavewan		5.5 5.5/1(+0%)																															(5) We'llhavewan 5.5/1, 11/1, creditable ninth of 20 in handicap hurdle at this course (16f, good) 2 days ago. Significantly up in trip and couldn't rule out, albeit this will be his third run within the space of a week, if he does take his chance. Beaten favourite here on Tuesday and well held on Friday.
1	2 1st (2) (14/1 +22%) My Design		14 14/1(+22%)																															(2) My Design 14/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in March. 5/1, fell in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f, good) 48 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Front-runner ideally wants it soft but ran well on good at Kilbeggan latest until fell.
2	11 2nd (11) (5.5/1 +15%) Call The Tune		5.5 5.5/1(+15%)																															(11) Call The Tune 5.5/1, 17/2, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Risky proposition at present. Better for comeback run; cheekpieces tried and will appreciate rain.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 +36%) Peaches And Cream		16 16/1(+36%)																															(3) Peaches And Cream 16/1, One win from 2 runs last season. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Killarney (22.8f, good) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive. All the better for last month's comeback run after a year off; don't rule out.
4	4 4th (4) (20/1 +60%) Another Choice		20 20/1(+60%)																															(4) Another Choice 20/1, Hooded for 1st time, seventeenth of 20 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at this course (22f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Soundly beaten in 2m7f handicap here on Tuesday; hard to fancy.
5th	7 5th (7) (3.5/1 +83%) Takarengo		3.5 3.5/1(+83%)																															(7) Takarengo 3.5/1, Respectable fourth of 19 in handicap at this course (16.5f, good to soft, 18/1) 4 days ago, not ideally placed. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Okay flat effort here on Wednesday but best form over shorter and hard to be confident in.
6th	23 6th (23) (28/1 -12%) Good World		28 28/1(-12%)																															(23) Good World 28/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (9/1) at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 33 days ago, held when hampered 3 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Must improve. RESERVE. Recent form wouldn't inspire too much confidence however; blinkers tried; reserve.
7th	8 7th (8) (18/1 -100%) Arabian King		18 18/1(-100%)																															(8) Arabian King 18/1, 5/1, creditable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Midfield finishes on both runs last month in 2m4f handicaps so lots more required here.
8th	20 8th (20) (22/1 -10%) Killinure Lass		22 22/1(-10%)																															(20) Killinure Lass 22/1, Three wins from 16 runs last season. Latest win in hurdle at Cork in March. 10/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.4f, good to soft) 119 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Absent since April and ideally wants it soft.
9th	21 9th (21) (7/1 +50%) Menindee		7 7/1(+50%)																															(21) Menindee 7/1, 9/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, good) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. RESERVE. In form of her life since June return; big player if ground remains good; reserve.
10	10 |U| (10) (8/1 -7%) Summer Tide		8 8/1(-7%)																															(10) Summer Tide 8/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Excellent second of 12 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (25f, soft, 33/1) 23 days ago, no match for winner. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has good chance on form. Listowel second off this mark last summer would bring him into the mix.
10th	17 10th (17) (33/1 +34%) Fiveaftermidnight		33 33/1(+34%)																															(17) Fiveaftermidnight 33/1, 33/1, creditable ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Something to find on form. Shaped encouragingly on last month's Killarney comeback run and could step up on that here.
11th	13 11th (13) (10/1 +38%) Sphagnum		10 10/1(+38%)																															(13) Sphagnum 10/1, Fairly useful winner at 24f in chases. Fourth of 7 in novice chase (11/1) at Tipperary (19.5f, soft) 33 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others more persuasive. Jumping let him down in novice chase company since and now reverts to hurdles.
12th	18 12th (18) (10/1 -11%) Pairc Na Ngael		10 10/1(-11%)																															(18) Pairc Na Ngael 10/1, Two wins from 4 runs last season. 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap chase at Roscommon (24.2f, good) 55 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and claims if able to bounce back. Both runs this summer well below best but still respected off 14lb lower hurdles mark.
13th	16 13th (16) (7.5/1 +53%) Pure Sirloin		7.5 7.5/1(+53%)																															(16) Pure Sirloin 7.5/1, Winner in hurdle at Navan in January. 7/2, pulled up in minor event hurdle at Wexford (24f, heavy) 128 days ago, pulled up before last. Lacks a recent run but runs well fresh and trip/ground should be okay; one to consider.
14th	9 14th (9) (33/1 -83%) Silvertown		33 33/1(-83%)																															(9) Silvertown 33/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 20/1) 17 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Mixing hurdles/chases of late without showing much; others preferred.
12	12 |PU| (12) (18/1 +28%) Country Queen		18 18/1(+28%)																															(12) Country Queen 18/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (24f, good, 7/1) 29 days ago. Has work to do. Needs to bounce back from poor Bellewstown run; won't want too much rain.

LTO Selection:

Lightly-raced stayer CALL THE TUNE reverts to hurdles in first-time cheekpieces but is somewhat unexposed over hurdles. He should improve from his return from a 449-day layoff at Kilbeggan and his best form, in winning a Navan heavy-ground chase in 2022 and chasing home the well-in Ballyshannon Rose on his previous hurdle run in 2021, gives him every chance. Pure Sirloin was a well backed winner at Navan and while pulled up on his most recent run, returns from a short break, stays well and likes easy ground. Macgiloney and My Design are closely matched on a dramatic Kilbeggan race in June when both fell at the final flight and should get involved. Peaches And Cream was well held at Killarney but is a dour stayer who is rated higher over fences. Pairc Na Ngael is rated 14lb higher over fences but prefers good ground, while stablemate Summer Tide's best form is also on a sound surface. Sphagnum is rated 6lb lower in this sphere but disappointed on a recent chase run. Junior Rattler ran well behind Pakens Rock at Kilbeggan but hasn't won since May 2021.

SUMMER TIDE wasn't disgraced when sixth in this race off a 4 lb higher mark last year and is appealing returned to this sphere with conditions in his favour. True Destiny and Junior Rattler are feared most in that order of preference. A couple of these would be dangerous if staging a return to form, most notably Pairc Na Ngael.

First reserve MENINDEE seems sure to get a run given that three of these are due to run here on Friday and gets the vote

1	1 1st (1) (0.57/1 -30%) Saint Sam		0.57 0.57/1(-30%)																															(1) Saint Sam 0.57/1, Very smart chaser. 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner Gr 3 chase at Killarney (20f, good) 83 days ago by 4¼ lengths from Effernock Fizz, cruising clear. Likely to follow up. Getting his act together since reverting to fences and again looks the one to beat.
2	3 2nd (3) (5.5/1 +69%) Born By The Sea		5.5 5.5/1(+69%)																															(3) Born By The Sea 5.5/1, Useful chaser. C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form eleventh of 22 in handicap chase (33/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 4 days ago. Others preferred. Plate also-ran on Wednesday but given his record here can't be safely ruled out.
3	4 3rd (4) (18/1 -50%) Peregrine Run		18 18/1(-50%)																															(4) Peregrine Run 18/1, Smart chaser. Two wins from 6 runs last season. Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at Killarney (16.8f, good to soft, 28/1) 19 days ago, needing stiffer test. Switches from Flat to chase. Retains plenty of ability despite his advancing years. None of his 20 wins have come here; could struggle to run to this rating now.
4	5 4th (5) (5.5/1 +15%) Stumptown		5.5 5.5/1(+15%)																															(5) Stumptown 5.5/1, Useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Sandown in February. 15/2, pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (29f, soft) 118 days ago. Down in trip. Most progressive prior to latest outing and could bounce back after a break. Let down by jumping in Irish National but still could emerge the chief threat to Saint Sam.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 -8%) Andy Dufresne		7 7/1(-8%)																															(2) Andy Dufresne 7/1, Smart chaser. Five wins from 18 NH runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. Unseated rider in handicap chase (40/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 4 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival. Unseated at the first in the Plate on Wednesday; hard to be confident in at this stage.

LTO Selection:

---

The keen-going SAINT SAM steps up slightly to his longest distance to date but has good recent form over middle-distances and has a touch of class. He concedes weight but has twice been Grade 1-placed and is an enthusiastic and progressive six-year-old. Stumptown finished a close second in Cheltenham's Kim Muir Chase in March and while forgiven a pulled-up effort in the Irish National having made jumping errors, drops in distance and doesn't have the selection's pace. Andy Dufresne was an early casualty in the Galway Plate and while a Grade 2-winning hurdler at his best, hasn't won since December 2020. Peregrine Run, a marvellous 20-time winner, is now 13, while Born By The Sea was well held in Thursday's Plate.

SAINT SAM cruised clear when landing a Grade 3 at Killarney 83 days ago and he's firmly expected to go in again seeing as his main rivals on form have a bit to prove. Both Andy Dufresne and Peregrine Run can make a race of it if back to their best, however.

With his sights lowered SAINT SAM has his confidence back and can complete the hat-trick

Didn't complete on both starts in April when last seen; yard in form but hard to fancy.
2	8 2nd (8) (5.5/1 +66%) Barnacullia		5.5 5.5/1(+66%)																															(8) Barnacullia 5.5/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 19 in handicap at this course (16.5f, good to soft, 22/1) 4 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Others more persuasive. Campaigned on the flat of late, fair run here on Wednesday; can't rule out.
3	12 3rd (12) (10/1 +29%) Pats Choice		10 10/1(+29%)																															(12) Pats Choice 10/1, Latest win in chase at Wexford in June. 4/1, creditable 9¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Sole Pretender in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good) 16 days ago, slowly away. bit to find with Sole Pretender on recent Killarney run; 3lb wrong.
4	2 4th (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Mt Leinster		5.5 5.5/1(+8%)																															(2) Mt Leinster 5.5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, creditable second of 6 in minor event at this course (14.1f, good to soft, 10/3) 2 days ago. Good second on the flat here on Friday, would be of interest if making a quick return.
5th	9 5th (9) (8.5/1 -13%) Roseys Hollow		8.5 8.5/1(-13%)																															(9) Roseys Hollow 8.5/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner novice chase (30/100) at Tipperary (16.8f, soft) 33 days ago, cruising clear. Makes handicap chase debut. Confidence-boosting Tipperary win; interesting on handicap debut, 8lb lower than hurdles.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 +29%) Vado Forte		10 10/1(+29%)																															(7) Vado Forte 10/1, C&D winner (won this last year for Gordon Elliott). Creditable third of 8 in handicap chase (10/1) at Punchestown (16f, good) 57 days ago. Merits consideration. Last year's winner for Gordon Elliott; 0-6 for current yard but handicapper relenting.
7th	13 7th (13) (33/1 +34%) Charlie Stout		33 33/1(+34%)																															(13) Charlie Stout 33/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Wexford in March. Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (19.4f, good, 5/1) 69 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Maiden winner here back from a break and stiff enough task from 5lb out of handicap.
8th	14 8th (14) (50/1 +24%) Benefit Run		50 50/1(+24%)																															(14) Benefit Run 50/1, Third of 15 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Something to find on form. Last year's runner-up has it all to do from 19lb out of the handicap.
9th	6 9th (6) (2.5/1 +17%) Hubrisko		2.5 2.5/1(+17%)																															(6) Hubrisko 2.5/1, Promising type. Second of 4 in novice chase at Wexford (19.8f, good to soft, 9/4) 30 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Expected to be bang there. Novice entering handicap company on fourth chase start; handicapper taken no chances.
10th	5 10th (5) (12/1 -140%) Hereditary Rule		12 12/1(-140%)																															(5) Hereditary Rule 12/1, Four wins from 10 runs last season. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (21.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 102 days ago, driven out. Respected. Didn't make the Plate but likely major player here if he can cope with this drop in trip.
11th	4 11th (4) (14/1 -40%) Embittered		14 14/1(-40%)																															(4) Embittered 14/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.6f, soft, 66/1) 143 days ago, trip too far. Can bounce back. Absent since Cheltenham; has run well after a break but opposable on overall profile.
12th	1 12th (1) (7.5/1 -88%) Sole Pretender		7.5 7.5/1(-88%)																															(1) Sole Pretender 7.5/1, Unreliable sort. Eyeshields on for 1st time, blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good, 11/2) 16 days ago, kept up to work. Capable of going well again. Killarney win a career-best but this more competitive; reluctance to line up a concern.

LTO Selection:

---

ROSEY'S HOLLOW got off the mark over fences recently and should run well in her first handicap chase. A Grade 3-winning novice hurdler in 2021, she has been slightly disappointing since and while this race is much tougher her Tipperary win, she competes from a low weight and is ground-versatile. Hubrisko is a course hurdle winner who is rated 5lb higher in this sphere than over hurdles but should compete on his handicap chase debut, having run consistently recently. Vado Forte was a minor surprise winner of last year's renewal and while his rating slightly climbed before he was subsequently claimed, he showed some of his old sparkle at Punchestown in June. Sole Pretender has been an excellent performer and while he refused to race at Tipperary, he defied a big weight to win a Listed chase at Killarney subsequently, although he has a preference for good ground. Hereditary Rule won well at the Punchestown Festival but is 10lb higher today with today's rider claiming 4lb less and he drops slightly in distance.

The unexposed HUBRISKO remains capable of better heading into handicaps so gets the vote. Vado Forte won this last year off 6 lb higher so must be respected for all he hasn't hit those heights for his current yard. Sole Pretender may have his quirks but he arrives on the back of a career-best win at Killarney under this rider.

Having missed the cut for Wednesday's Plate HEREDITARY RULE could be the one to beat here

Creditable third of 18 in handicap at this course (8.6f, soft, 11/1) 5 days ago. Merits consideration. Close third in Colm Quinn Mile on Tuesday; drop in trip no problem and big player.
2	4 2nd (4) (33/1 +50%) Snapraeterea		33 33/1(+50%)																															(4) Snapraeterea 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, 10 lengths eighth of 10 to Zarinsk in Minstrel Stakes at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft, 66/1) 10 days ago. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Hotrocket. Wants it soft and yard seemingly have a stronger contender in Hotrocket.

Creditable third of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, soft, 16/1) 15 days ago, running on late. Needs a couple of these to falter. Last year's second arrives after good Curragh effort; best with an ease so rain would help.

Looks competitive on form. RESERVE. Touched off in Colm Quinn Mile on Tuesday so obvious player if getting a run; reserve.
7th	15 7th (15) (8/1 -33%) On A Session		8 8/1(-33%)																															(15) On A Session 8/1, Latest win at Musselburgh in April. 15/8, fourth of 5 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good) 32 days ago.

Attempting unprecedented four-timer in this race; respectable run on Tuesday.

Colm Quinn Mile fifth who wants it soft so the more rain the better.
11th	8 11th (8) (11/1 +8%) Percy's Lad		11 11/1(+8%)																															(8) Percy's Lad 11/1, 50/1, respectable seventh of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (7f, good to firm) 45 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. 1 lb lower here and could have a part to play.

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (7/4) at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 25 days ago. More needed up 5 lb in this stronger race but he remains unexposed and probably has more to offer. Hat-trick seeker won a shade snugly at Fairyhouse; won't too much rain.
15th	16 15th (16) (22/1 -22%) All Lies Ahead		22 22/1(-22%)																															(16) All Lies Ahead 22/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in April. 6/1, below form 7¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Miramis in listed race at this C&D (good to soft) 3 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive. Out of depth in Listed event here on Thursday; rain would help her cause.
16th	7 16th (7) (50/1 -52%) Master Matt		50 50/1(-52%)																															(7) Master Matt 50/1, Latest win at Fairyhouse in June.

LTO Selection:

---

CURRENT OPTION is fancied to cement his place as a Galway Festival legend by landing this feature race for a fourth successive year. The Ado McGuinness-trained gelding has been given a chance by the handicapper as his three previous wins here came off marks of 99, 105 and 97 but he still seems to retain plenty of his old zest. He probably ran too keen and was denied a clear passage when still beaten just over two lengths here over a mile on Tuesday. He can reverse places with Dunum and the selection's stable companion Casanova, who both finished in the money on that occasion and should again go well. Hotrocket is on a hat-trick after scoring with a bit in hand over this trip at both Gowran and Fairyhouse and Conor Stone-Walsh again claims a valuable 7lb. On A Session filled the runner-up spot in this race last year and is effective on soft ground.

HOTROCKET hasn't achieved as much as several of these, but he's clealry on an upward curve and, with just seven runs under his belt, the best is probably still to come. He is taken to complete the hat-trick at the chief expense of Percy's Lad, who is one of two British raiders and wasn't beaten far when seventh in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot last time. Current Option is bidding for a fourth consecutive victory in this race and has to be feared, while Dunum is another to consider.

DUNUM finished third here on Tuesday and appears the one most likely to be as effective back in trip

1	4 1st (4) (0.2/1 +39%) Stromberg		0.2 0.2/1(+39%)																															(4) Stromberg 0.2/1, Promising individual. Second of 18 in maiden (11/2) at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) on debut 17 days ago, clear of rest. Should progress. Chased home an impressive winner at Leopardstown and was clear of the remainder.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 +55%) Apollo Prince		10 10/1(+55%)																															(2) Apollo Prince 10/1, Foaled May 2. €31,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Brother to 7f winner Distinction and half-brother to 1m/9f winner Silks Dream. One to note in the betting. 31,000euros yearling; fifth foal; brother to 7f winner Distinction (RPR 71).
3	7 3rd (7) (40/1 +39%) Foxtrot J		40 40/1(+39%)																															(7) Foxtrot J 40/1, Once-raced filly. 150/1, last of 13 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) on debut 10 days ago. 150-1 at Leopardstown (7f, soft) and weakened out of it to bring up the rear.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 +68%) Cuban Confusion		16 16/1(+68%)																															(1) Cuban Confusion 16/1, Once-raced colt. 66/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) on debut 20 days ago, not knocked about. Big price when down the field at Killarney (1m, yielding); no appeal on the back of that.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 +78%) Velvet Skies		28 28/1(+78%)																															(6) Velvet Skies 28/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 125/1, last of 18 in maiden at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. 125-1 when finishing last at Leopardstown, a long way behind runner-up Stromberg.

STROMBERG was unlucky to come up against the smart looking Caught U Looking in a similar event at Leopardstown last month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained colt was no match for the well-backed winner but drew clear of the remainder in that 18-runner maiden and should progress with the benefit of the run. Caught U Looking's trainer Noel Meade is now represented by Kiki Roberts who stepped forward from her first start when ridden more prominently at Bellewstown last month. Romford put in his best work at the finish on debut behind Givemethebeatboys at Navan. That form has been well advertised since and he should appreciate the step up in trip.

This is best left to STROMBERG, who made a promising start to his career when runner-up on debut at Leopardstown where he pulled nicely clear of the rest. He is evidently held in high regard (holds Group-race entries) and should take this prior to going on to better things. Kiki Roberts gets the nod ahead of Romford for forecast purposes. Newcomer Apollo Prince is worth a second look in the betting.

It's very difficult to get away from STROMBERG who finished clear of the rest behind a stylish winner at Leopardstown.

1	2 1st (2) (1.2/1 +40%) Malbay Madness		1.2 1.2/1(+40%)																															(2) Malbay Madness 1.2/1, Good second of 6 in handicap at this course (8.6f, good to soft, 7/2) 4 days ago. Hood on 1st time. Leading claims. Narrow miss here on Wednesday; Colin Keane replaces a 7lb claimer with a hood turned to.
2	9 2nd (9) (12/1 +40%) Emorcee		12 12/1(+40%)																															(9) Emorcee 12/1, 11/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Has the ability to win off this mark but a bit risky with more new headgear tried.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 -80%) Quantum Light		6 6/1(-80%)																															(4) Quantum Light 6/1, Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Ralph Beckett when good second of 15 in handicap (28/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 6 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Player. Stable debut when going down fighting after racing close to a strong pace here on Wed.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 -33%) Guided		12 12/1(-33%)																															(7) Guided 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 9 in maiden (10/3) at Navan (10f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Potential improver for his leading stable. Best run was over this trip and retains potential now sent into handicaps.
5th	1 5th (1) (4.5/1 +31%) La Tulipe Noire		4.5 4.5/1(+31%)																															(1) La Tulipe Noire 4.5/1, Creditable fourth of 15 in handicap (8/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 6 days ago. Appeared to find 7f on the sharp side when a close fourth here last Monday.
6th	10 6th (10) (12/1 +52%) Rough And Tough		12 12/1(+52%)																															(10) Rough And Tough 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 17 in handicap at this course (8.4f, good to soft, 22/1) 2 days ago. Others have achieved more. Mild improvement in each of his qualifying runs but down the field in both his handicaps.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 +9%) Blue News		20 20/1(+9%)																															(6) Blue News 20/1, 15/2, bit below form sixth of 12 in maiden at Cork (6f, good) 9 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Never lower in the weights but 0-15 now and unconvincing.
8th	8 8th (8) (8/1 -14%) Timeless Piece		8 8/1(-14%)																															(8) Timeless Piece 8/1, Winner at Gowran in May. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Leopardstown (10f, good) 79 days ago. 1m winner before not getting 1m2f; off since mid-May but a likely contender.
9th	5 9th (5) (22/1 -38%) Giselles Defence		22 22/1(-38%)																															(5) Giselles Defence 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 6 in handicap at Fairyhouse (12f, good to firm, 10/1) 58 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Has work to do. Placed in a Sligo maiden; 1m4f a stretch on handicap debut; first start at a mile.

MALBAY MADNESS just failed to peg back Lan Cinnte over C&D on Wednesday and may go one better with the Emmet Mullins yard in good form. The selection, who landed a gamble in a Killarney nursery for Eddie Linehan, may benefit from the application of a hood. There is little to choose between Quantum Light and La Tulipe Noire on running behind Rio Largo over seven furlongs on testing ground here on Monday. Quantum Light was having her first run since joining current connections from Ralph Beckett, while La Tulipe Noire won a Dundalk maiden over a mile last winter. Hasten Slowly has gained both wins on a sound surface including at Naas last time so the ground could be a worry.

MALBAY MADNESS was arguably unlucky not to win here on Wednesday and compensation awaits with Colin Keane taking over in the saddle. Quantum Leap made a positive start for her new stable here at the beginning of the week and is second choice ahead of Noel Meade's Naas winner Hasten Slowly.

A key race could be the 7f handicap here on Wednesday in which QUANTUM LIGHT (nap) finished just ahead of La Tulipe Noire.

1	3 1st (3) (0.44/1 +60%) You Oughta Know		0.44 0.44/1(+60%)																															(3) You Oughta Know 0.44/1, Once-raced winner in bumpers. Won 16-runner bumper at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 3/1) on NH debut 86 days ago, cruising clear. Looks a good prospect. Easy to back at Kilbeggan but it was never in doubt and he looks above average.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/1 +75%) Toto Too		10 10/1(+75%)																															(7) Toto Too 10/1, Ocovango gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Penny Out, and half-brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Uisce Solas. Entitled to come on for the run. Breeding offers hope and from a yard that has bumper winners.
3	10 3rd (10) (4/1 +56%) Lionnar		4 4/1(+56%)																															(10) Lionnar 4/1, Twice-raced winner in bumpers. 9/4, won 6-runner bumper at the Curragh (16f, good) 60 days ago. Not a strong race that she won at the Curragh but she's bred to improve with racing.
4	6 4th (6) (80/1 +20%) Mont Beuvray		80 80/1(+20%)																															(6) Mont Beuvray 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. Eleventh of 12 in bumper at Sligo (18f, good, 14/1) 28 days ago. In trouble a long way out before finishing completely tailed off at Sligo.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/1 +22%) Crooked Tannie		7 7/1(+22%)																															(4) Crooked Tannie 7/1, Thrice-raced winner in bumpers. 4/1, won 14-runner bumper at Tipperary (16f, good to soft) 31 days ago, unchallenged. Place possibilities. 14l winner at Tipperary; RPR of 114 isn't to be sniffed at and unwise to underestimate.
6th	1 6th (1) (25/1 -25%) Chef D'etat		25 25/1(-25%)																															(1) Chef D'etat 25/1, Twice-raced winner in bumpers. Won 6-runner bumper (4/6) at Worcester (16f, good to soft) 39 days ago. This is more demanding. Unbeaten in two but neither were strong races and he's doubly penalised.
7th	9 7th (9) (28/1 +58%) Fort Randall		28 28/1(+58%)																															(9) Fort Randall 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 7 in bumper (6/4) at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 33 days ago, conceding first run. Has ability but needed to win at Stratford last time to be strongly considered for this.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 +0%) Feast		33 33/1(+0%)																															(2) Feast 33/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Career best when winning 9-runner bumper (150/1) on debut for new yard at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 24 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Much more on his plate here. Shock winner of a Downpatrick bumper; this is way tougher than that race.

YOU OUGHTA KNOW easily won a bumper on debut at Kilbeggan this spring which was probably above-average for the venue. It is interesting to note that Patrick Mullins keeps faith with the son of Beat Hollow rather than partner Aurora Vega, a full-sister to Facile Vega, who also won in great style on her only start at Sligo in June. Lionnar had subsequent easy Tipperary winner Crooked Tannie well behind when fourth on debut at Killarney before beating Beauforts Storm (won since) at the Curragh, with Mont Beuvray about six lengths back in third. Chef D'etat has won both his starts at Tramore and Worcester, while Shark Hanlon is also represented by Fort Randall who has shown promise on both starts.

Willie Mullins saddled the winner of this last year and fields promising duo YOU OUGHTA KNOW and Aurora Vega this time round. Both were impressive on their respective debuts and while it's not easy choosing between them, You Oughta Know scored in particularly good style on his introduction and appears to be the stable first-string judged on jockey bookings. Crooked Tannie and Lionnar can do battle for minor honours.

Willie Mullins dominated this last year and it could be a similar story with YOU OUGHTA KNOW preferred to Aurora Vega

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.
