12:55 Galway Maiden Hurdle 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (1/3 +100%) Mozzies Sister	0.333333 1/3(+100%)	(6) Mozzies Sister 1/3, Point winner who quickly reached a useful level in bumpers, doubling her tally at Down Royal (16.9f) in August prior to a good second in mares' listed event at Gowran (2m) 23 days ago. Good prospect now her attentions switch to timber. Smart bumper performer related to winning hurdlers; looks the one to beat on hurdles debut.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 -45%) Whimsy	4 4/1(-45%)	(8) Whimsy 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler (placed on 5 of her 6 starts). Enjoyed a productive summer on the Flat, successful at Carlisle (14f) in June and far from disgraced after 4 months off when fourth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (12f) 22 days ago. Well up to making her mark back in this sphere. Decent dual-purpose mare ran well on Flat recently; sure to give a good account.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/1 -10%) Fillusin	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Fillusin 11/1, Bumper winner who shaped as if in need of the experience when third of 12 in a mares' maiden on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse (2m) 3 weeks ago. Represents top yard and she's open to improvement. Creditable recent hurdles debut and given normal improvement should be in the mix.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 -45%) Half Past Tipsy	8 8/1(-45%)	(2) Half Past Tipsy 8/1, £200,000 4-y-o, Muhtathir mare. Successful on second of 2 starts in points but proved to be a disappointment when fifth of 9 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 4/6) on NH debut in March, racing freely. Hood worn then retained and she's certainly not one to be giving up on. Points' winner too keen on bumper debut back in March; hurdles debut after summer break.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -175%) Mollys Kingdom	33 33/1(-175%)	(5) Mollys Kingdom 33/1, Modest hurdler. 33/1, last of 5 in novice hurdle at Cork (24.2f, good) 14 days ago, first beaten in face of stiff task. Handicaps will prove more her bag. Gowran maiden second but well held since at Cork; place claims at best.
6th	4 6th (4) (100/1 -52%) Light Her Up	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Light Her Up 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good, 28/1) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Beaten a long way on recent hurdles debut at Fairyhouse where Fillusin was third.
7th	7 7th (7) (250/1 -67%) Snugsborough Jc	250 250/1(-67%)	(7) Snugsborough Jc 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, probably needed the run after well over 2 years off when seventh of 8 in novice hurdle at Killarney (17f, soft) 21 days ago. This ought to reveal more but her overall record is anything but inspiring. Nothing over hurdles, most recently after mammoth absence at Killarney early this month.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (250/1 -67%) Just Merry	250 250/1(-67%)	(3) Just Merry 250/1, Mahler mare. Dam unraced sister to modest hurdler (2m winner) Be My Witness. 66/1 and tongue strap on, fell first on debut in a course maiden here (16.6f) 19 days ago. This should reveal more but she's likely best watched. First-flight faller on recent Galway debut when a 66-1 shot; best watched.

MOZZIES SISTER is a smart bumper performer and has prior point-to-point experience, so should take all the beating on hurdles debut. An impressive points winner, she has run to a high level in each of her bumper starts and is hard to oppose being consistent, race-fit and ground versatile. Whimsy is herself a three-time Flat winner with previous hurdling experience. She is also ground versatile and has shown nice hurdling ability. Half Past Tipsy was a 200,000-pound purchase following her pointing victory and while she was too keen on her bumper debut last March, he should be better suited to reverting to jumping. Fillusin has place prospects but needs to improve to win.

A lightly-raced winner in points, MOZZIES SISTER quickly reached a useful level when landing 2 of her 4 starts in bumpers and, appealing as a good prospect now hurdling, she earns the vote to make an immediate impact. Likeable mare Whimsy boasts fairly useful form already in this sphere and is feared with a recent run on the Flat under her belt. Half Past Tipsy is another to keep an eye on.

Clearly the best of these in bumpers, MOZZIES SISTER can make a winning start over hurdles

Dual Grade 3 winner SEARCH FOR GLORY should be suited by chasing being a debut point-to-point winner and a dour stayer. He can race lazily and jump left but bigger obstacles may focus his mind over today's suitable distance. Similarly, Mint Boy stays well and will be suited by chasing, and while rated 137 over hurdles, he didn't compete at Graded level in that sphere. Sa Majeste also possesses a similar hurdles rating and, a 2022 Auteuil winner before defeating Noble Yeats last Christmas, he was well held in two big-race handicaps last spring, although at least finished ahead of plenty rivals at Sandown. Arion Soldier is built for fences and while he won impressively last April, he faces a tougher test here.

Useful hurdler SEARCH FOR GLORY promises to make an even better chaser so he gets the nod over fellow chase debutants Sa Majeste and Mint Boy, who were also useful over timber.

SIR ARGUS went close over this course and distance on his chase debut in 2023 and the subsequent absence isn't a major concern

NEVERADULLMOMENT has met defeat just once from four runs at this course and might defy a recent 12lb hike for winning over today's course-and-distance last month. Runner-up here last October, he has gained two recent course wins and while he now competes from a career-high rating, he's clearly progressive and is also ideally suited by this trip and soft ground. Galon De Vauzelle himself won well at Listowel last month and while he, too, can contend despite competing off a 10lb higher mark, he is more exposed than the progressive selection. Jumping Jet defeated Ask Anything to win the Ulster National last April but the pair now make their respective seasonal reappearances.

The thriving NEVERADULLMOMENT recorded his third course success in emphatic style over this trip 7 weeks ago and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Galon De Vauzelle also arrives at the top of his game so is feared most ahead of the returning Ask Anything.

Course specialist NEVERADULLMOMENT jumped well when justifying strong market support over C&D latest and a 12lb rise looks fair

AODHAN MAY previously won a chase in 2023 and having progressed well over hurdles earlier this year, now reverts to chasing off a 35lb lower mark. Pulled up on her latest chase runs of 2023, she has improved since then and is suited by today's conditions. Similarly, Desert Heather is rated 40lb higher over hurdles but disappointed badly over fences in August. That was her first run for 263 days, though, and while she will appreciate today's softer ground, nonetheless has something to prove. West Clare has a race-fitness edge, is suited by conditions and while he makes his chase debut, has point-to-point experience so can be relied upon. Hunt Museum showed some improvement in May but lacks a recent run.

AODHAN MAY is potentially very well treated back over fences given her exploits over hurdles last season so she gets the vote over Hunt Museum and Likable Chancer.

A chance is taken on the fitness of AODHAN MAY who was a rapid improver over hurdles last term and returns on a lower chase mark

1	4 1st (4) (11/10 +12%) My Great Mate	1.1 11/10(+12%)	(4) My Great Mate 11/10, Completed a simple task in 7-runner maiden hurdle at Sligo (20.6f, soft, 1/11) in August. Creditable second of 5 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 4/6) 29 days ago, conceding first run to stablemate. Good chance. Major player on recent soft-ground form but still vulnerable.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/1 -71%) Prends Garde A Toi	6 6/1(-71%)	(5) Prends Garde A Toi 6/1, Won 5-runner novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft, 2/5) on return 16 days ago. Can improve. Downpatrick winner a work in progress but no surprise if he improved enough to feature.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/3 +39%) Fenway Park	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(2) Fenway Park 10/3, 4/7, career best when winning 16-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft) 159 days ago. Could have more to come. Absent since Punchestown maiden win in May; more needed but possible.
4	6 4th (6) (6/1 +33%) Heroes Rise	6 6/1(+33%)	(6) Heroes Rise 6/1, Won at Listowel in June. 16/1, respectable sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at this C&D (good to soft) 87 days ago. Place claims. Listowel maiden winner never counted in C&D novice at the festival; bit to prove now.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (15/2 +25%) Itsalladream	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(3) Itsalladream 15/2, Upped his game when winning 20-runner novice hurdle here (16.7f, good to soft) last month, jumping well. Fourth of 5 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 16/1) 32 days ago. Up in trip. Outpaced at a crucial stage at Listowel latest; step up in trip here could suit.

MY GREAT MATE has been running consistently well on similar ground and over similar distances recently. A dual bumper winner, including once at last year's festival at this course, he won his maiden hurdle by 31 lengths at Sligo recently and while beaten by a stablemate at Listowel, that rival is himself capable. There was nothing exciting about Prends Garde A Toi's recent Downpatrick win but that was his first run since Christmas and he should improve, having also shown nice bumper form last term. Fenway Park finished a useful fourth at the Punchestown Festival in May before scoring there later that month. He should compete, although isn't helped by lacking a recent run.

There is more to come from MY GREAT MATE, who found landing the odds beyond him at Listowel after his stablemate had enjoyed an easy lead, but remains with potential and can resume winning ways. Punchestown scorer Fenway Park and Heroes Rise are dangers.

My Great Mate sets the standard but looks vulnerable and is taken on here by the less exposed PRENDS GARDE A TOI

PATTER MERCHANT may be able to make a winning start over timber here. The Walk In The Park gelding was a touch disappointing when last seen at Fairyhouse in April but had won a Leopardstown bumper previously and the form of that race has worked out well, as the runner-up Sounds Victorius was subsequently fourth in the Cheltenham bumper. I Am Lorenzo was an eye-catcher on his debut, when staying on to finish sixth in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle. That was last Christmas and he makes his first start since. Beau Walking has been placed fives times over hurdles and should pick up prize money again.

I AM LORENZO made a promising start at Leopardstown at Christmas and although he hasn't been seen since he's open to improvement and could be hard to beat if doing so. Patter Merchant is a useful recruit to hurdling for his top connections and demands respect.

Despite a long absence I AM LORENZO (nap) appeals on the back of a strong debut effort in a better-class Leopardstown maiden last year

WEE CHARLIE has gone up 14lb in the ratings for his latest success but may be able to land his hat-trick after two easy wins at the track. The Court Cave gelding won as he liked here 19 days ago, scoring by seven lengths, and could have another one in him before the handicapper fully gets to grips. Timourid has a slipped a few pounds since he was last seen over hurdles and appears to be on a competitive mark. He could be a danger, while Wajaaha has been knocking on the door and is another for the shortlist.

WAJAAHA is in a fine streak of form in handicap hurdles and can end his losing run. Dont Go Yet and Vischio are a couple of the dangers, with Wee Charlie having a 14 lb rise to overcome in his bid for a Galway hat-trick.

It may be worth giving another chance to KOORI STAR who lost his unbeaten record last time but he's far less exposed than the rest

Every chance when fell last sole outing in points (Mar 10). Points' promise in March; will want a trip in time so may just need this experience.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/6 +49%) Al Arrivee	0.833333 5/6(+49%)	(2) Al Arrivee 5/6, Tunis filly. Half-sister to 4 winners, including dual Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo. Of obvious interest and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant. Half-sister to Al Boum Photo; newcomer of obvious appeal from top yard.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/1 +57%) Twentyfourcarrot	6 6/1(+57%)	(9) Twentyfourcarrot 6/1, Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, sixth of 17 in bumper at Cork (16.3f, good) 169 days ago. Needs to get back to the form she showed on debut. Promise in the Spring makes her a player if forward enough after summer break.
4	8 4th (8) (3/1 +14%) Tangara Bay	3 3/1(+14%)	(8) Tangara Bay 3/1, Promising sort. Second of 8 in bumper (4/1) at Ballinrobe (16.4f, soft) on NH debut 62 days ago, no match for winner. Obvious claims with improvement to come. Ballinrobe debut second has ground to suit here and likely major player.
5th	5 5th (5) (25/1 +24%) Kilbarry Ace	25 25/1(+24%)	(5) Kilbarry Ace 25/1, Well-beaten eighth of 13 to Aruntothequeen in listed bumper at Gowran (16f, good to soft, 125/1) 23 days ago. Naas promise back in April; too keen when stiff task on recent Gowran return.

Runner-up sole outing in points (Apr 28). Cost a bit earlier this year and she's one to note. Points' second made 165,000euros; market check.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

AL ARRIVEE is a fascinating newcomer for Willie Mullins. The filly is a half-sister to the yard's dual Gold Cup winner Al Boum Photo. She is by Tunis, a French-based, Polish-bred stallion whose progeny have been in demand recently at the sales. The form horse is Tangara Bay, who was a promising second on her debut at Ballinrobe in August. Kabylia is another to note as she was runner-up on her sole outing in a point-to-point at Loughanmore in April and fetched 165,000 euro following that run.

TANGARA BAY offered plenty to work on first time up at Ballinrobe in the summer and can open her account with improvement on the way. Choicely-bred newcomers Al Arrivee, a half-sister to Al Boum Photo, and Kabylia, are of firm interest.

Al Boum Photo's sister Al Arrivee is interesting but preference is for Ballinrobe second TANGARA BAY, who has ground to suit

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.
