13:03 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (11/2 +21%) Coral River	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(6) Coral River 11/2, Runner-up on 3 of 4 starts in bumpers (fairly useful form) but ran below that level sent hurdling after 11 weeks off when tailed-off eleventh of 21 in maiden at Naas (16f, heavy) 18 days ago. Will need to leave that effort behind but can do so. 2nd in 3 bumpers; didn't jump well on hurdle bow this month; needs to leave that behind.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/4 +21%) Kish Bank	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(4) Kish Bank 11/4, Easy winner only start in points and justified good support to make a winning Rules debut in 8-runner Punchestown bumper (16.7f) in December 2023. Lost his unbeaten record with a bit of whimper sent hurdling at Galway 3 months ago and he should be capable of much better. Point winner; landed the odds on rules debut; beaten fav since but can bounce back.
3	7 3rd (7) (20/1 +20%) Gillane	20 20/1(+20%)	(7) Gillane 20/1, Runner-up completed start in points. 14/1, sixth of 13 in bumper at Limerick (18f, soft) on NH debut 26 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. 2nd in a point; showed ability when 6th in a bumper but drop in trip may not help.
4	5 4th (5) (33/1 +0%) Reliable Prince	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Reliable Prince 33/1, €24,000 3-y-o, Reliable Man gelding. Dam unraced. Likely outsider on debut. Reliable Man gelding; dam unraced half-sister to French Flat winner; best watched on debut.
5th	10 5th (10) (20/1 +0%) Stretchemout	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Stretchemout 20/1, Winning pointer. Tailed-off fourth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (18.4f, good to soft, 33/1) on NH debut 12 days ago, left in frame last. Looks one for the longer term. Point winner who shaped okay on rules debut 12 days ago; might not appreciate shorter trip.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/4 -147%) Belle The Tigress	2.25 9/4(-147%)	(8) Belle The Tigress 9/4, Shaped well again when never-nearer third of 20 in maiden hurdle (14/1) at Naas (16.2f, good to soft) 38 days ago, outpaced early in straight but finishing strongly. Open to further progress and may well prove tough to beat. Showed ability when 40-1 5th on debut and built on that when beaten 2l since.
7th	9 7th (9) (66/1 -164%) Great Bird	66 66/1(-164%)	(9) Great Bird 66/1, €28,000 3-y-o, Westerner mare. Half-sister to unbeaten bumper winner/useful 2m/19f hurdle winner Credrojava. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner up to 2½m winner Eilise's A Lady. Westerner mare; half-sister to Credrojava; may need further.
8th	3 8th (3) (3/1 +45%) Journey So Far	3 3/1(+45%)	(3) Journey So Far 3/1, €26,000 3-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Ryan's Rocket, and half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Powerstown Park. Dam unraced. Still going well when fell 3 out sole start in points (Mar 2024). Fell when still firmly involved in a point won by a well bred rival; worth a market check.
9th	1 9th (1) (50/1 -100%) Ennell Shadow	50 50/1(-100%)	(1) Ennell Shadow 50/1, €38,000 3-y-o, My Dream Boat gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/fair chaser Shadow Eile and fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser Corskeagh Royale. Dam unraced. Unplaced sole start in points (Dec 8). Brother to point/bumper winner Dream Shadow; well held in a point last month; tough ask.
10th	2 10th (2) (20/1 +70%) Scodar	20 20/1(+70%)	(2) Scodar 20/1, £30,000 3-y-o, Gentlewave gelding. Dam unraced. Pulled up sole start in points (Mar 2024). Cost £30,000 as a 3yo; dam related to winners over further; pulled up sole point start.

BELLE THE TIGRESS has shown nice ability and looks capable of further progression. She showed promise on debut in November and given the way she finished so well at Naas last month, can be counted upon to again run well and might also improve. Kish Bank easily won his point-to-point before landing a bumper in December 2023 but was absent for 319 days prior to returning at Galway in October. He disappointed then and while capable of better, nonetheless returns following another layoff. Coral River also showed good bumper form, finishing second at the Punchestown Festival, and while he dropped away tamely on hurdling debut last month, that was his first run for 72 days.

It's hard to look beyond BELLE THE TIGRESS, who again shaped well when finishing a never-nearer third at Naas last month so Henry de Bromhead's mare can make it third time lucky with further progress in the pipeline. Kish Bank lost his unbeaten record with a bit of whimper sent hurdling at Galway 3 months ago, but he should be capable of much better so heads up the dangers, with Journey So Far and Coral River another couple worth keeping a close eye on, too.

After two promising runs in maiden hurdles and her latest third at Naas working out okay, BELLE THE TIGRESS (nap) sets a solid standard

7th	11 7th (11) (14/1 +30%) Thats All	14 14/1(+30%)	(11) Thats All 14/1, Remains a maiden after 21 NH runs. 20/1, good 6 lengths third of 18 to Falcon Park in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, heavy) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. 0-21; one of her better efforts when 3rd at Punchestown latest; not sure to build on that.
8th	10 8th (10) (20/1 +39%) Marine Ranger	20 20/1(+39%)	(10) Marine Ranger 20/1, Eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft, 50/1) 25 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut with more required. Promising 5th on bumper debut; poor since but workable mark for h'cap debut.
9th	14 9th (14) (14/1 +36%) Eikonix	14 14/1(+36%)	(14) Eikonix 14/1, Untrustworthy individual. Respectable 19¼ lengths ninth of 15 to Falcon Park in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Clonmel (16.9f, soft) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive. Has refused to race 3 times; encouraging return from break but not as good last week.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (25/1 -56%) Sheer Raz	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Sheer Raz 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 23 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good) 28 days ago. Yard in good form.

10th	8 10th (8) (9/1 +64%) Beeverstown Place	9 9/1(+64%)	(8) Beeverstown Place 9/1, Off 8 months before a fading eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft, 20/1) 25 days ago. Expected to be bang there off a good mark with that run under his belt. Promise at back end of last season; should come on for his return and rain would help.
11th	13 11th (13) (25/1 +50%) Drum Roll	25 25/1(+50%)	(13) Drum Roll 25/1, 100/1, ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Maiden on the Flat in France and shown very little over timber for new yard; cheekpieces.

1	1 \|PU\| (1) (11/2 +15%) The Big Cloud	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(1) The Big Cloud 11/2, Creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Limerick (20f, soft) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and in the mix. Won over 2m at Limerick last season and good reappearance run back there last month.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (28/1 -75%) The Reel Martello	28 28/1(-75%)	(2) The Reel Martello 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 28/1, below form ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft) 25 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should still progress. Only minor promise in bumpers/maiden hurdles; looks up against it from this opening mark.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (33/1 -18%) Petit Dejeuner	33 33/1(-18%)	(15) Petit Dejeuner 33/1, Tailed-off sixteenth of 18 to Falcon Park in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, heavy, 12/1) 23 days ago. Back to form with Thurles 3rd; brought down before poor run latest; may need rain.

ASPUROFTHEMOMENT debuts for new connections and might be a step ahead of the handicapper following a recent point-to-point win. His initial pointing form and hurdle efforts were unexciting but he showed improvement in recent months, finishing ahead of a subsequent UK bumper winner at Castletown-Geoghegan in October before winning at Dromahane. He was bought for 25,000 euros following that success and is interesting. Nine-year-old Falcon Park has come good in recent times but competes from a career-high rating, while The Big Cloud relishes testing conditions and should go well in a first-time tongue-tie.

Plenty are in with a shout but PRINCE QUATTRO is fancied to follow up Tuesday's win at Down Royal. Beeverstown Place could emerge as the main danger off a handy-looking mark with Tingarran Express, Falcon Park and The Big Cloud all in the picture too.

THE BIG CLOUD shades the vote after a promising return at Limerick last month and there's a suspicion she's not fully exposed

13:38 Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:13 Gowran Park Conditions Hurdle 24f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (13/2 +28%) Rocky's Diamond	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(8) Rocky's Diamond 13/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Excellent 9¼ lengths third of 8 to Home By The Lee in Christmas Hurdle (66/1) at Leopardstown (23.4f, good) 26 days ago. Made it 2-4 with C&D success before Gr 1 3rd at Leopardstown and more upside than most.
2	10 2nd (10) (28/1 -155%) Thedevilscoachman	28 28/1(-155%)	(10) Thedevilscoachman 28/1, Smart hurdler. Tongue strap on for 1st time, well-beaten third of 4 to Brewin'upastorm in Ballybin Hurdle (5/2) at Fairyhouse (20.2f, heavy). Off 9 months. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Struggled in this race last year and similar story on only start since; off 297 days.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -9%) Franciscan Rock	12 12/1(-9%)	(5) Franciscan Rock 12/1, Useful hurdler. 11/4, didn't need to improve to win 4-runner minor event hurdle at Clonmel (24f, soft) 51 days ago by 3½ lengths from Sandor Clegane. This demands another jolt of improvement upped in class. Won twice over 3m recently with 2 career bests but more required again against these.
4	9 4th (9) (11/2 +50%) Sandor Clegane	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(9) Sandor Clegane 11/2, Smart chaser. 8/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable 13½ lengths fourth of 8 to Home By The Lee in Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown (23.4f, good) 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs to pull out more. In behind some of these on last couple of starts and he'll need a career best to land this.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 +0%) Asterion Forlonge	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Asterion Forlonge 5/1, Very smart chaser who ran well when second in Grade 1 Stayers' Hurdle at Punchestown in May. Looked after when chance had gone when sixth of 8 to Home By The Lee in Christmas Hurdle on return at Leopardstown (23.4f, good) 26 days ago and better showing anticipated here. Veteran; talented on his day but patchy form over the last 18 months and opposable.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 +44%) Maxxum	9 9/1(+44%)	(7) Maxxum 9/1, Smart hurdler who bounced back to best when good fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good, 40/1) 25 days ago. Back up in trip. Progressing recently. Won 3m h'cap hurdle at DRF last term and dangerous when allowed to dominate but tough ask.
7th	2 7th (2) (7/4 +30%) Hiddenvalley Lake	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(2) Hiddenvalley Lake 7/4, Lightly-raced hurdler (smart form) who was placed in Grade 1 company at Aintree in the spring and repeated the feat when runner-up in the Long Walk at Ascot (24.4f) 33 days ago, that despite run of the race not really going his way. High on shortlist here. Progressive having placed in Gr 1s in Britain on last 2 starts and may come on for latest.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -100%) Kalanisi Star	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Kalanisi Star 100/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, very good 19¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Gaelic Warrior in War of Attrition Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (23.8f, good to soft) in spring 2023. This looks a tough ask back from 21 months off. Would need a career best here and has been off 638 days.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (11/1 -175%) Buddy One	11 11/1(-175%)	(4) Buddy One 11/1, Smart hurdler. 11/1, 19 lengths third of 4 to Croke Park in Fort Leney Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Not discounted returned to these smaller obstacles. 2nd ahead of Hiddenvalley Lake at Aintree; not at same level over fences this term.

HIDDENVALLEY LAKE is a thorough stayer and ran really well on his reappearance run last month. Generally a very dependable type, he won a similar Grade 2 race at Navan last February and, having shown up well in top-level races at Aintree and more recently at Ascot last month, he should go very close. Buddy One finished ahead of the selection in the aforementioned Aintree race and while his chase form recently fizzled out, he now reverts to hurdles over which he operated so well last term. Rocky's Diamond is just a five-year-old and has already shown real potential.

Third in Grade 1 company at Aintree in the spring, HIDDENVALLEY LAKE ran right up to his best after 8 months off when runner-up in the Long Walk at Ascot, that despite the race not really going his way. Still low-mileage as an 8-y-o, he can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top, with veteran Asterion Forlonge and Buddy One fancied to pose the chief threats.

It may be worth taking a flyer on ROCKY'S DIAMOND who ran with credit when dropped into a Gr 1 last time and he's entirely unxposed

14:48 Gowran Park Handicap Chase 25f - 18 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +31%) Nick Rockett	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(2) Nick Rockett 9/2, 25/1, creditable fourth of 27 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Shapes like he has one of these big pots in him. Preferred by Townend, strip fitter for comeback at Leopardstown, up 2lb but can go well.
2	7 2nd (7) (22/1 -10%) Velvet Elvis	22 22/1(-10%)	(7) Velvet Elvis 22/1, 25/1, fifteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (23.4f, good) 26 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces on and should strip fitter for return. Three-time chase winner, sharpener over hurdles last month, looks the yard's second string.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 -60%) Favori De Champdou	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Favori De Champdou 16/1, Six wins from 16 NH runs. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable eighth of 27 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Not ruled out. 2-7 over fences, shaped okay after break at Leopardstown, improve for that, chance.
4	6 4th (6) (9/2 +18%) Yeah Man	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(6) Yeah Man 9/2, 16/1, good 3¾ lengths third of 18 to Stuzzikini in handicap chase at Navan (24.2f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Probably saved for this and looks a big player. Gr 3 h'cap winner at Haydock last February, up 2lb for fine run in the Troytown, claims.
5th	17 5th (17) (22/1 -38%) Bushmans Pass	22 22/1(-38%)	(17) Bushmans Pass 22/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase (7/1) at Navan (23.4f, heavy), suited by increase in trip. Off 10 months. Absence is a concern. Won a nice pot at Navan when last seen in March, up 12lb and this much tougher, watch.
6th	18 6th (18) (13/2 +41%) Will Do	6.5 13/2(+41%)	(18) Will Do 13/2, 5/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 27 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Trainer going well. Expected to be bang there. 0-4 over fences, good effort on handicap debut at Leopardstown, same mark here, chance.
7th	11 7th (11) (16/1 +20%) Spanish Harlem	16 16/1(+20%)	(11) Spanish Harlem 16/1, 40/1, bit below form thirteenth of 27 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Bounce back required. 0-6 over fences, creditable effort in the Scottish National, poor since, needs revival.
8th	12 8th (12) (22/1 -10%) Macs Charm	22 22/1(-10%)	(12) Macs Charm 22/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.4f, soft, 28/1) 26 days ago. Back up in trip. Others are more persuasive. 5th in this last year, 6lb lower and course form figures of 1225, could go well at a price.
9th	16 9th (16) (40/1 +39%) Klarc Kent	40 40/1(+39%)	(16) Klarc Kent 40/1, 50/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Has a bit to prove at present. Lost form since good run in Scottish National, pulled up latest, others make more appeal.
5	5 \|U\| (5) (14/1 -27%) Glengouly	14 14/1(-27%)	(5) Glengouly 14/1, 12/1, below form sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.4f, soft) 26 days ago. Back up in trip. Risky proposition at present but is on a handy mark. Runner up in this last year, is effectively 6lb lower thanks to jockey's claim, chance.
8	8 \|U\| (8) (28/1 +15%) Macdermott	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Macdermott 28/1, Twentieth of 27 in handicap chase (33/1) at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won the Scottish National last season, poor both starts this term, revival needed.
10th	4 10th (4) (14/1 +13%) Grandero Bello	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Grandero Bello 14/1, Course winner. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Newbury (26f, good to soft, 33/1) 54 days ago. Can't be discounted. Course winner, won off 137 at Galway in October, ground too quick latest, can't discount.
11th	15 11th (15) (9/1 +55%) My Immortal	9 9/1(+55%)	(15) My Immortal 9/1, Visored for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap chase (7/2) at Fairyhouse (29.7f, good) 53 days ago. Yard in good form. Cheekpieces back on. Stayed on well over 22.5f at Galway, poor on latest, place chance on his Galway effort.
12th	14 12th (14) (33/1 +18%) Largy Debut	33 33/1(+18%)	(14) Largy Debut 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, brought down in handicap chase at Navan (24f, heavy) won by Coko Beach. Off 14 months. Worth a market check. 0-9 over fences, runner up in the Munster National on penultimate, big ask after layoff.
13th	10 13th (10) (20/1 -11%) Stuzzikini	20 20/1(-11%)	(10) Stuzzikini 20/1, 20/1, career best when winning 18-runner handicap chase at Navan (24.2f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Should continue to give a good account. Dour stayer, won the Troytown off 9lb lower on latest, could be more to come, considered.
14th	1 14th (1) (50/1 -178%) Coko Beach	50 50/1(-178%)	(1) Coko Beach 50/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 15 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (29.2f, good to soft, 16/1) 41 days ago. Blinkers back on. Won this in 2021, won the Troytown off this mark in 2023, likes it here, don't discount.
15th	13 15th (13) (14/1 -100%) Where It All Began	14 14/1(-100%)	(13) Where It All Began 14/1, 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, pulled up in handicap chase at Chepstow (30.6f, good to soft) 27 days ago, closing in third when making a bad mistake 4 out. Worthy of interest. Won at Punchestown off 123 last year, no impact off revised mark since, chance if at best.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (9/1 -29%) Shannon Royale	9 9/1(-29%)	(9) Shannon Royale 9/1, 2/1, career best when winning 7-runner novice chase at Punchestown (24f, soft) 23 days ago, responding well. Makes handicap chase debut. Another bold show likely. Unexposed sort, won a 3m beginners' at Punchestown latest, lacks handicap experience.

YEAH MAN has been competitive in similar races in recent times and might turn Troytown form with Stuzzikini. Ground-versatile, the selection is a strong stayer and while he disappointed in the Irish National, his form is generally consistent. He can jump left in the closing stages of his races, which isn't ideal, but is 7lb better off with Stuzzikini than at Navan. Stuzzikini is himself a stout stayer who should also compete. Nick Rockett is well handicapped and finished third at Sandown last April but is 2lb higher following his Paddy Power fourth at Leopardstown. Will Do finished fifth, wearing first-time blinkers, in that race and is another to take seriously.

NICK ROCKETT took another step forward when an excellent fourth in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown on return and he may have come on for that, so he gets the nod ahead of Shannon Royale, who took a novice in likeable fashion at Punchestown and probably has even more to offer. Yeah Man completes the shortlist.

Preference is for YEAH MAN who shaped nicely in the Troytown and with improvement likely to be forthcoming, he can go close.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, brought down in novice chase (14/1) at Down Royal (20.6f, good to soft) 28 days ago.

Willie Mullins obviously has a strong hand in this with five runners and Paul Townend sticks with QUAI DE BOURBON in the two-and-a-half mile contest. He rode the Ivanhowe gelding on his chase debut at Leopardstown when he was a close third in a tight finish behind Dee Capo. With that run under his belt he's entitled to improve and may turn the tables now on stablemate Chapeau De Soleil, who was just half-a-length in front of him then. Blizzard Of Oz is another Closutton runner with a big shout after a fine run to finish third to stablemate Lecky Watson on his chase debut at Naas.

The five saddled by Willie Mullins are all promising novices, with QUAI DE BOURBON very much the pick of the quintet. A winner of three of his six starts over hurdles, he shaped well when a close third on his chase debut at Leopardstown, finishing just adrift of re-opposing stablemate Chapeau de Soleil, who rates the main danger. Chigorin's chase debut second at Fairyhouse was promising and he could be the pick of the non-Mullins-trained candidates.

Chapeau De Soleil had QUAI DE BOURBON behind at Leopardstown but the latter can reverse form with a better round of jumping here

1	6 1st (6) (11/4 +39%) Dancingondaceiling	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(6) Dancingondaceiling 11/4, Promising type. Shaped well on first outing since leaving Alexander Ott (after 8 months off) when 7½ lengths third of 17 in a handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, soft) 26 days ago, led approaching 2 out, weakened. Entitled to strip fitter for that and leading player for in-form, top yard. 3m maiden winner, decent effort after break on handicap bow, will strip fitter now, chance.
2	7 2nd (7) (14/1 +30%) Heliko Conti	14 14/1(+30%)	(7) Heliko Conti 14/1, Step in the right direction when respectable seventh of 23 a in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Leopardstown (19.8f, good) 26 days ago. Up in trip today and each-way possibilities. 1-15 over timber, winless since March 2023, shaped like this trip might suit on latest.
3	13 3rd (13) (25/1 -25%) Therellbguddaysyet	25 25/1(-25%)	(13) Therellbguddaysyet 25/1, Winner in hurdle at Thurles in November. Creditable 13 lengths fourth of 17 to Doitforjane Sid in a handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, soft, 16/1) 26 days ago. Worth another try at this trip but finds himself in another competitive race. Points and maiden winner, shaped well behind a couple of these latest, each-way shout.
4	2 4th (2) (10/1 -54%) Machismo	10 10/1(-54%)	(2) Machismo 10/1, 16/5, career best when winning 10-runner novice hurdle at Tramore (21.6f, heavy) 22 days ago, keeping on well, winning distance exaggerated by conditions. Cheekpieces on first time and up in trip for handicap debut. Open to improvement. Won a Tramore maiden hurdle easily on latest, opening mark looks fair; cheekpieces on.
5th	11 5th (11) (10/1 -11%) Krabat	10 10/1(-11%)	(11) Krabat 10/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022 but steps in the right direction on last couple of outings, latest a creditable second of 17 in a handicap hurdle at Naas (18.9f, heavy) 18 days ago, keeping on. Looks worth another go at this trip over the smaller obstacles. Rated 11lb higher over fences, course form figures of 222, trip a worry, chance if stays.
6th	9 6th (9) (16/1 -14%) So They Tell Me	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) So They Tell Me 16/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 11/4, fifth of 8 in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, good to soft) 12 days ago, looked rusty after 5 months off. Should come on for that. Won off 106 in June, failed to justify market support latest, needs more with hood removed.
7th	5 7th (5) (66/1 -65%) Drop The Anchor	66 66/1(-65%)	(5) Drop The Anchor 66/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f on flat. Pulled up in handicap chase (28/1) at Limerick (22.6f, soft) 25 days ago, mistake at second. Switches from fences to hurdles today and races in first-time visor but hard to make a strong case for. Veteran; no win since November 2022, struggled in a chase latest, hard to fancy; visor.
8th	18 8th (18) (10/1 +60%) Spatman De Cerisy	10 10/1(+60%)	(18) Spatman De Cerisy 10/1, 10/1 and blinkered for first time when creditable fifth of 18 in a handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft) 25 days ago, shaping better than beaten distance after 7-month absence. Back up in trip may find a couple too good in here. 0-7 over hurdles, ran well over 3m in May, strip fitter for latest, 2lb wrong, may go well.
9th	4 9th (4) (12/1 +14%) Tranquil Sea	12 12/1(+14%)	(4) Tranquil Sea 12/1, 10/1, bit below form thirteenth of 20 in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (23.4f, good) 26 days ago, not suited by the run of the race on that occasion. Capable of better. Maiden hurdle winner, struggled at Leopardstown latest but this is easier, shortlisted.
10th	8 10th (8) (50/1 -52%) Lep Around	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Lep Around 50/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, soft, 16/1) 28 days ago, may have needed the run. Up in trip and hood back on today but needs more. Mares' maiden winner, struggled on h'cap debut, up in trip, hood returns, watch.
11th	12 11th (12) (9/1 +18%) Jeriko De Baune	9 9/1(+18%)	(12) Jeriko De Baune 9/1, Well-backed but bit below form sixth of 17 to Doitforjane Sid in a handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, soft, 7/2) 26 days ago, not ideally placed given how race unfolded. Cheekpieces on for the first time and could improve on last run today. Respectable efforts last three starts, cheekpieces could elicit improvement, place claims.
12th	14 12th (14) (22/1 -10%) Galon De Vauzelle	22 22/1(-10%)	(14) Galon De Vauzelle 22/1, Respectable tenth of 27 in handicap chase (50/1) at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Switches from fences to hurdles but has a bit to find in this sphere. Struggled over fences the last twice, reverts to hurdles off lower mark, not dismissed.
13th	1 13th (1) (20/1 -208%) Doitforjane Sid	20 20/1(-208%)	(1) Doitforjane Sid 20/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this season. 22/1, career best when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, soft) 26 days ago, staying on well. Remains of interest here. Won three of last five, won off 9lb lower on latest, this is harder but can't discount.
17	17 \|PU\| (17) (7/1 +0%) Big Debates	7 7/1(+0%)	(17) Big Debates 7/1, Career best when winning a 6-runner handicap chase at Limerick (22.6f, soft, 7/2) 27 days ago, race fell apart but won easily.

16	16 \|PU\| (16) (10/1 +75%) Kells Priory	10 10/1(+75%)	(16) Kells Priory 10/1, Course winner. Latest win in hurdle at Killarney in July. 33/1 and tongue strap on for first time, below form fourteenth of 24 in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, good) 54 days ago, well held. Up in trip but others have a more convincing profile. Surprise winner after long absence at Killarney, poor form since, tongue tie discarded.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (16/1 -100%) Diamboy Des Carres	16 16/1(-100%)	(10) Diamboy Des Carres 16/1, Has improved with each run over hurdles, beating all bar a promising newcomer trained by Willie Mullins when good second of 13 in novice hurdle (11/8) at Thurles (16.2f, soft). Off 14 months since and significantly up in trip on handicap debut. Player if ready to roll on return. Bumper winner, ability in 2m maidens, up in trip and off 427 days, probably best watched.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (18/1 +45%) Cosmo Renfro	18 18/1(+45%)	(15) Cosmo Renfro 18/1, 18/1, creditable fifth of 13 in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown (22f, soft) 10 days ago, a step in the right direction back over smaller obstacles. Needs to build on that. Won at Limerick off 6lb lower, decent effort latest but handicapper may be in charge.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (80/1 -142%) Getaway Charlie	80 80/1(-142%)	(3) Getaway Charlie 80/1, Attracted some support at longer odds when ninth of 12 in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19f, heavy, 14/1) 23 days ago. Back up in trip today but others preferred. Failed to complete two of last three, beaten 33l latest, up in trip but others preferred.

BIG DEBATES has a nice weight in this and may be able to exploit his lower mark over hurdles. The 12-year-old has been in fine form over fences of late, winning a veterans contest easily at Limerick over Christmas on his last outing. He is now rated a massive 32lb lower over timber. Machismo opened his hurdling account in fine style at Tramore on New Year's Day and doesn't look harshly treated on his handicap debut. Stamina appears to be his forte and there may be room for further improvement up at three miles. Doitforjane Sid was an easy winner at a big price in Limerick and is another that has to come into calculations.

DANCINGONDACEILING is in excellent hands and can improve on his encouraging placed effort following a 253-day absence and come out on top. Diamboy des Carres is a fascinating contender now significantly up in trip on handicap debut. He would be a big danger if ready to roll on his comeback and is worth monitoring in the market. Big Debates will be in good heart following a facile success over fences and is respected returning to the smaller obstacles.

Narrow preference is for Paul Nolan's TRANQUIL SEA who will appreciate the drop in class after struggling at Leopardstown last time

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (7/4 +42%) Carrigmoorna Beech	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(6) Carrigmoorna Beech 7/4, Blue Bresil filly. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Carrigmoorna Queen and bumper winner Carrigmoornaspruce. Likely type on paper and one to take seriously on debut. Daughter of Blue Bresil, related to bumper winners, in good hands, interesting.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 +54%) Answer That	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(1) Answer That 11/2, Holy Roman Emperor gelding. Dam 1¼m winner. 14,000 euros 2yo, dam 1m2f winner, yard 10-65 in bumpers last five seasons, check market.
3	5 3rd (5) (33/1 -32%) Tradonthebay	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Tradonthebay 33/1, Snow Sky gelding. Dam unraced. Snow Sky gelding, yard is 0-25 in bumpers in the last five seasons, others appeal more.
4	3 4th (3) (11/8 -141%) Reckless	1.375 11/8(-141%)	(3) Reckless 11/8, €160,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat. Dam French 1¼m/10.5f winner. Yard among the winners in bumpers and he's got to be the starting point. 160,000 euros 3yo, half-brother to five Flat winners, top yard, likely type on debut.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 +27%) Silly Mongoose	8 8/1(+27%)	(4) Silly Mongoose 8/1, Decorated Knight gelding. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Decorated Knight gelding, doesn't make much appeal on paper, best watched on debut.
6th	2 6th (2) (16/1 -14%) Eastern Blue Bird	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Eastern Blue Bird 16/1, Retirement Plan gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fair 2½m hurdle winner Lady Bluebird. Brother to bumper winner, yard has poor strike rate in this sphere, probably best watched.

LTO Selection:

No form to go on here and RECKLESS may prove the pick for leading connections. The Gordon Elliott-trained Doctor Dino gelding cost 165,000 euro at the Arkle sale last year and is a half-brother to a Listed winner on the Flat in France. Carrigmoorna Beech appeals on pedigree and is another to note. Declan Queally has won two bumpers this season with her half-sister Carrigmoornaspruce. Eastern Blue Bird is a full-brother to a bumper winner, Lady Bluebird, and is another of interest on breeding.

No form to go on and the betting might be revealing, RECKLESS and Carrigmoorna Beech the two obvious ones on paper.

The well-bred CARRIGMOORNA BEECH makes plenty of appeal on paper and it would be no surprise were she to make a winning debut

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.
