13:55 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 16f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (20/1 -25%) Solar Falcon	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Solar Falcon 20/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good, 25/1) 22 days ago. Mildly progressive in three runs over hurdles but hard to see him improving enough here.
2	13 2nd (13) (50/1 +67%) You Done Well	50 50/1(+67%)	(13) You Done Well 50/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, seventh of 9 in handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, good, 12/1). Some modest ability on the Flat but not enough to suggest he can contend here.
3	16 3rd (16) (20/1 -25%) Set The Tone	20 20/1(-25%)	(16) Set The Tone 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, fourth of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) 22 days ago. Showed a bit of improvement to finish third at Ballinrobe; could outrun her likely odds.
4	5 4th (5) (15/8 +12%) Kaptain Bay	1.875 15/8(+12%)	(5) Kaptain Bay 15/8, Fair maiden on the Flat and placed both starts over hurdes, second of 13 in juvenile hurdle (7/4) at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) 22 days ago, running on. That just about sets the standard. Not far from winning one of these although this is probably a tougher ask than Ballinrobe.
5th	15 5th (15) (13/2 +77%) Out For A Stroll	6.5 13/2(+77%)	(15) Out For A Stroll 13/2, 4/1, fourth of 12 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft). Represents leading connections but she may just need this. Better ground likely to suit but stable second-string here and best watched.
6th	14 6th (14) (17/2 -89%) Game Phoenix	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(14) Game Phoenix 17/2, Modest maiden on the Flat. Last of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Navan (14f, good) 14 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Creditable effort on last hurdles outing. Clearly a much more serious proposition over hurdles and an each-way player.
7th	2 7th (2) (20/1 +0%) Bid Up	20 20/1(+0%)	(2) Bid Up 20/1, Fifth of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Listowel (16f, good, 150/1) on NH debut 13 days ago. Finished quite well when fifth on his hurdles debut at Listowel; should improve.
8th	3 8th (3) (125/1 -89%) Chesterbaylad	125 125/1(-89%)	(3) Chesterbaylad 125/1, Fifth of 9 in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good, 66/1) on NH debut 36 days ago. Well beaten on his hurdle debut at Down Royal but was hampered by a faller; should improve.
9th	4 9th (4) (80/1 -100%) Gona Be Alright	80 80/1(-100%)	(4) Gona Be Alright 80/1, Seventh of 13 in juvenile hurdle (150/1) at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) 22 days ago. Not beaten far on his second hurdles start; likely one for handicaps down the line.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (11/10 +63%) Magic Thunder	1.1 11/10(+63%)	(6) Magic Thunder 11/10, Fairly useful Flat winner, landing 9-runner claimer at Deauville (12.4f) 46 days ago. First run for yard after leaving E. Monfort and joined leading NH yard ahead of this hurdles debut. Debuts here for Gordon Elliott and likely to be a leading player on his hurdles bow.
11	11 \|U\| (11) (125/1 -25%) Synchronize	125 125/1(-25%)	(11) Synchronize 125/1, Twelfth of 13 in maiden (20/1) at Kempton (11f), slowly away. Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden and now goes hurdling. Showed nothing in three starts for the Gosdens; best watched on hurdles and stable bow.
10th	1 10th (1) (50/1 -79%) Apollo Prince	50 50/1(-79%)	(1) Apollo Prince 50/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, good, 25/1) 14 days ago. Lost his way since finishing second in a 1m handicap at Limerick in July; best watched.
11th	7 11th (7) (150/1 -355%) Mind Your Few Bob	150 150/1(-355%)	(7) Mind Your Few Bob 150/1, Buratino gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners on Flat, including useful 5f/6f winner New Planet. Dam unraced. Buratino gelding best watched on his hurdles debut.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (80/1 -21%) St Laurence's Gate	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) St Laurence's Gate 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. Pulled up in handicap at this course (8f, good to soft, 33/1) 32 days ago. Third in a 1m handicap at Limerick in July; best watched on his hurdles debut.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (150/1 +25%) Threehavenine	150 150/1(+25%)	(12) Threehavenine 150/1, 200/1, tailed-off last of 16 to Naturally Nimble in maiden at Navan (10.2f, good) 28 days ago. Poor performer in Flat maidens from 7f to 1m4f; makes no appeal on his hurdles debut.

MAGIC THUNDER, Naturally Nimble, Game Phoenix and Kaptain Bay look the ones to focus on, with preference for the Gordon Elliott-trained former. While he doesn't jump off the page on breeding, he won both starts on the level in his native France. Sure to be well schooled for his first try over flights, the Gigginstown House Stud-owned bay is likely to go close. After many good efforts in defeat, Naturally Nimble belatedly opened his account at Navan early last month, with Dylan Browne McMonagle later stating: "I think the best is yet to come." Game Phoenix and Kaptain Bay have the advantage of prior hurdling experience. Both filled the runner-up spot when last seen over flights and it'll come as no surprise if either manages to go a place better.

Those with hurdles experience do not set the bar too high so Flat winners NATURALLY NIMBLE and Magic Thunder may come to the fore. There's more substance to the form of the Joseph O'Brien inmate so he gets the vote. Kaptain Bay should be on the premises again.

The form of Joseph O'Brien in juvenile hurdles has been strong, and 83-rated Flat performer NATURALLY NIMBLE should be hard to beat

14:30 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 20f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (10/11 -1%) Apple's Of Bresil	0.909091 10/11(-1%)	(1) Apple's Of Bresil 10/11, Fairly useful hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Bit below form third of 20 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.7f, good to soft, 11/10) 26 days ago. This step back up in trip could be a good move and he's the one to beat. Shapes as though stepping up to this trip will help and he is hard to oppose here.
2	17 2nd (17) (40/1 +20%) Mollys Kingdom	40 40/1(+20%)	(17) Mollys Kingdom 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Tenth of 15 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) on hurdles bow 22 days ago. Well beaten last twice including on her hurdles debut at Ballinrobe last month.
3	5 3rd (5) (15/8 +44%) Coumeenoole	1.875 15/8(+44%)	(5) Coumeenoole 15/8, £180,000 5-y-o, Harzand gelding. Dam 2½m-21f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 2¾m) Schindler's Gold. Successful sole start between the flags and he's greatly respected on Rules debut. Decisive winner of his sole point at Ballindenisk in May; could go well here.
4	15 4th (15) (125/1 +17%) Docteur Elysees	125 125/1(+17%)	(15) Docteur Elysees 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Gordon Elliott when ninth of 11 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 36 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Hasn't shown enough in points and bumpers to be of interest.
5th	2 5th (2) (15/2 -7%) Boston Rover	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(2) Boston Rover 15/2, Rajj gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Golden Taty. Dam maiden on Flat. In good hands and the market should be revealing in terms of expectations. Speedily bred newcomer but entitled to plenty of respect from these quarters.
6th	16 6th (16) (16/1 -60%) Laravie	16 16/1(-60%)	(16) Laravie 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 12 in bumper (33/1) at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 129 days ago, no match for winner. Makes hurdles debut. Stays well and is an interesting runner in a race with not much strength in depth.
7th	7 7th (7) (125/1 -25%) It's His Life	125 125/1(-25%)	(7) It's His Life 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 18 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Galway (21f, good to soft) on NH debut 66 days ago. Pulled up in a point-to-point and tailed off when 100-1 for his rules debut; no appeal.
8th	11 8th (11) (66/1 -65%) Sonny Fella	66 66/1(-65%)	(11) Sonny Fella 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Thirteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy, 14/1). Off 11 months and sports first-time cheekpieces. Showed some ability when fifth in a Listowel maiden hurdle last year; back from a year off.
9th	14 9th (14) (66/1 -65%) Ballinlegane Lady	66 66/1(-65%)	(14) Ballinlegane Lady 66/1, Mahler mare. Sister to unreliable but useful 19f hurdle winner/staying chaser Deise Aba. Probably worth taking on this time. Stoutly-bred daughter of Mahler looks best watched this time.
10th	6 10th (6) (100/1 +0%) Farmer Kavanagh	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) Farmer Kavanagh 100/1, El Salvador gelding. Dam made frame in points. Poor record between the flags and he's hard to warm to on Rules debut. Pulled up or unseated in all five point-to-points; big outsider here.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (20/1 +39%) Morning Nightcap	20 20/1(+39%)	(13) Morning Nightcap 20/1, €16,000 3-y-o, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Broomfield Bijou. Worth a peek in the betting. Good staying pedigree; likely to improve for this but should be worth watching.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (50/1 +24%) Like A Bumblebee	50 50/1(+24%)	(9) Like A Bumblebee 50/1, Milan gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Stans The Man. Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler (19f winner) Patsy Bee. Perhaps best watched on debut. Plenty of stamina in his pedigree but best watched here.

While Apple's Of Bresil is likely to prove popular with punters, he failed to justify favouritism when last seen at Galway and it might be worth taking him on. COUMEENOOLE, Colonel Nelson and Taponthego are interesting point-to-point graduates in the line-up, with preference for the Paul Nolan-trained former. Previously in the care of the shrewd Jonathan Fogarty and a winner on debut at Ballindenisk in May, he beat Millforce into second, with that one successful in both starts since. Out of a smart four-time winner, the selection was bought by current connections for 180,000 pounds. The aforementioned Colonel Nelson and Taponthego are both capable of making an impact, while Wexford runner-up Laravie is another leading hope.

COUMEENOOLE and Taponthego are interesting recruits form the pointing field and the former, who fetched £180,000 after winning his sole start in that sphere, is marginally preferred. Apple's of Bresil is much the best of those with experience under Rules and will be a big threat.

It is hard to look beyond APPLE'S OF BRESIL, unlucky in a pair of Galway maiden hurdles with the step up in trip likely to suit

15:05 Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle 24f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 -18%) Rocky's Diamond	10 10/1(-18%)	(8) Rocky's Diamond 10/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 16/1, fifth of 8 in minor event at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 129 days ago. Open to improvement now making his way into handicap company. Maiden hurdle winner on heavy, jumped poorly on latest, watch unless money comes.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 -11%) Happy Jacky	5 5/1(-11%)	(1) Happy Jacky 5/1, Two wins from 4 runs this season. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (11/4) at Down Royal (18.6f, good to firm) 29 days ago. 6-27 in this sphere and he's in with a shout. Dual-purpose, fine win on flat latest, good fifth at Galway previously, career best needed.
3	11 3rd (11) (3/1 +25%) Rosalys	3 3/1(+25%)	(11) Rosalys 3/1, Promising sort. Career best when winning 11-runner novice hurdle (10/3) at Tramore (20.4f, good) 51 days ago, kept up to work. Mark for this handicap debut looks fair and she may well have more to offer. Bumper winner, won a Tramore novice latest, handicap debutante upped in trip, can go well.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 -50%) Macgiloney	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) Macgiloney 12/1, Unreliable sort. 16/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and looks vulnerable for win purposes. In form veteran, two good chase runs latest, 9lb below last winning mark, each-way shout.
5th	10 5th (10) (7/1 +30%) Flash De Touzaine	7 7/1(+30%)	(10) Flash De Touzaine 7/1, 16/1, bit below form fourth of 20 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, soft) 64 days ago, doing too much too soon. Switches from chase to hurdles. Place possibilities. Staying chaser; first hurdles run since 2021, rated higher over fences, can't discount.
6th	12 6th (12) (22/1 +21%) Grange Walk	22 22/1(+21%)	(12) Grange Walk 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) 9 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Course winner over fences, well-beaten latest over hurdles, unproven at 3m, revival needed.
7th	5 7th (5) (25/1 -150%) Rich Belief	25 25/1(-150%)	(5) Rich Belief 25/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Chester (15.9f, good to firm, 11/1) 35 days ago, met some trouble. Switches from Flat to hurdles and tongue strap back on. Will have a fighting chance if he puts his best foot forward. Fit from the Flat, 3lb below his last winning mark, not discounted, especially if it rains.
8th	3 8th (3) (3/1 -20%) Talk In The Park	3 3/1(-20%)	(3) Talk In The Park 3/1, Two wins from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 20-runner handicap hurdle at Galway (22.5f, good to soft, 7/1) 66 days ago, driven clear. Up 10 lb for that but he has to be respected in his bid to complete the hat-trick. 10lb hike for 6l Galway win, up in trip, looks a progressive horse, high on the shortlist.
9th	4 9th (4) (16/1 -220%) Beaufort Scale	16 16/1(-220%)	(4) Beaufort Scale 16/1, Winner at Kilbeggan in July. 8/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Listowel (24f, soft) 10 days ago. Shortlist material. Still going well when unseating on handicap debut last time out, top yard, claims.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (10/1 +38%) Mossy Fen	10 10/1(+38%)	(7) Mossy Fen 10/1, Latest win at Wexford in April. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (24f, soft, 7/1) 10 days ago. Others make more appeal. First win for four years in April, no impact off revised mark since, others preferred.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (40/1 -150%) Ambitious Fellow	40 40/1(-150%)	(2) Ambitious Fellow 40/1, Last of 8 in novice chase at Killarney (23.4f, soft, 16/1) 44 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Jumped poorly over fences, may need a run or two to regain confidence, others preferred.

While the forecast rain is a worry, it's difficult to look beyond the hat-trick seeking TALK IN THE PARK. He readily accounted for 19 rivals when last seen at Galway in July and although now on a career-high mark of 126, he will be aided by the 7lb claim of Tom Harney. Peter Smithers also takes 7lb off top-weight Happy Jacky, with this likeable 10-year-old the second choice. Successful three times from six starts this year, he is arguably in the form of his life at present. Handicap debutants Rosalys and Rocky's Diamond are of definite interest, while others for the shortlist are Beaufort Scale, Flash De Touzaine and admirable veteran Macgiloney.

The vote goes to ROSALYS, who did the job well when opening her account at Tramore and she can be expected to make further progress now pitched into a handicap. Rocky's Diamond is also open to improvement now handicapping and he is feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Talk In The Park and Beaufort Scale.

Preference is for the hat-trick seeking TALK IN THE PARK. He's up 10lb for Galway but his jockey claims 7lb and he should stay 3m.

15:05 Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:40 Gowran Park Conditions Chase 20f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (10/3 +81%) Visionarian	3.333333 10/3(+81%)	(8) Visionarian 10/3, Smart chaser. Six wins from 22 NH runs. Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.5f, good, 16/1) 38 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Talented on his day but out of form last two starts, hard to fancy on recent showings.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/2 +82%) French Dynamite	2.5 5/2(+82%)	(5) French Dynamite 5/2, Useful chaser. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Blinkered for 1st time, below form thirteenth of 22 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft, 33/1) 66 days ago. Probably worth taking on. No match for Ash Tree Meadow at Killarney, no win over fences since 2022, others preferred.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/11 +84%) Ash Tree Meadow	0.727273 8/11(+84%)	(1) Ash Tree Meadow 8/11, Very smart chaser. Eight wins from 21 NH runs. Latest win in chase at Killarney in May. 22/1, respectable twelfth of 22 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 66 days ago. Looks vulnerable on these terms. Dual Grade 2 winner, this will suit better than Galway on latest, dangerous to dismiss.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins both saddle two, in what is a quality renewal of this Grade 2 contest. Elliott's CONFLATED is the only runner in the line-up to have won at the highest level and looks the one to beat. A brilliant servant to connections, the 10-year-old was third in the Ryanair at Cheltenham in March, before running another excellent race in defeat when second to Jonbon in the Melling at Aintree. Saint Sam and Saint Roi are the Mullins representatives and both have race fitness on their side. The hat-trick seeking former was last seen winning over flights at Auteuil and is sure to prove popular with punters. Ash Tree Meadow finished ahead of French Dynamite, Saint Roi and Solness in the Galway Plate and can confirm his superiority over those rivals now.

This represents a good opportunity for CONFLATED to get his head back in front, for all that the Willie Mullins-trained pair Saint Roi and Saint Sam will offer stern resistance. The selection hasn't managed to hit the target since landing the Savills Chase at Leopardstown in December 2022, but his last six starts (and 13 of his last 14 appearances overall) have been in Grade 1 company and he will appreciate this drop in class.

Back in a smaller field, ASH TREE MEADOW could be the answer. This is his optimum trip and he is narrowly preferred over Saint Sam.

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (2/1 +27%) Midnight Our Fred	2 2/1(+27%)	(7) Midnight Our Fred 2/1, Respectable third of 15 in handicap chase (11/4) at Killarney (26f, good to soft) 146 days ago. Down in trip. Not taken lightly. String of fine efforts in handicaps over further, this trip a worry, watch back from break.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/4 +0%) Charlie Luciano	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(5) Charlie Luciano 11/4, Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. 4/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (20.2f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Dual-purpose, four-time winner over hurdles, good effort over fences latest, big chance.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 +55%) Caesar Rock	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(3) Caesar Rock 9/2, One win from 26 NH runs. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in novice chase (9/1) at Killarney (23.4f, soft) 44 days ago, finding little. Makes handicap chase debut. 0-15 in chases, promise behind decent sort at Wexford, not discounted but others preferred.
4	8 4th (8) (20/1 +39%) Sweet Will	20 20/1(+39%)	(8) Sweet Will 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25.4f, good to soft) 43 days ago, dropping away between 4 out and 3 out. Down in trip. Out of form in two runs for this yard, pulled up latest, hard to fancy right now.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/3 +49%) Jasmin De Cotte	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(4) Jasmin De Cotte 10/3, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Winner in chase at Kilbeggan in May. 13/2, ninth of 13 in handicap chase at Punchestown (20.2f, good) 118 days ago. Kilbeggan beginners winner, no impact on handicap bow, off 118 days, probably best watched.
6th	1 6th (1) (10/1 +9%) The Echo Boy	10 10/1(+9%)	(1) The Echo Boy 10/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Ballinrobe in May. 28/1, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25.4f, good to soft) 85 days ago. Down in trip. Won at this trip at Ballinrobe in May, struggled off revised mark latest, others preferred.

After yet another brave front-running performance at Roscommon on Monday, KILASHEE is taken to follow up. The admirable John Ryan-trained nine-year-old has already won five times this season and while up to a career-high mark over fences, she will be aided by the 5lb claim of Conor Stone-Walsh. Returning from a break, Midnight Our Fred is an obvious danger. Placed on his last four starts and third on his most recent outing in the Killarney National, the seven-year-old certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Handicap debutant Caesar Rock, Kilbeggan runner-up Banjaxed and Noel Meade's Charlie Luciano are others for the shortlist.

CHARLIE LUCIANO looked ahead of his mark last time and has a fully-fledged rider back on board, so he gest the nod over Kilashee, who showed a good attitude to score at Roscommon 5 days ago. Banjaxed also merits plenty of respect.

The one that appeals most is CHARLIE LUCIANO(nap). His run at Kilbeggan was encouraging and he has run well here over hurdles before.

16:50 Gowran Park Maiden Chase 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (8/1 -100%) Rainbow Trail	8 8/1(-100%)	(10) Rainbow Trail 8/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 15/2, creditable fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) 155 days ago. Should be suited by switch to chasing/longer trip, so definite player. Expensive bumper winner, 1-4 over hurdles, chasing debut, ground a concern, check market.
2	11 2nd (11) (17/2 +6%) Shajak	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(11) Shajak 17/2, Promising sort. Useful winner on the Flat but only fairly useful over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 7 in novice chase (6/1) at Tramore (22.8f, good) on debut over fences 17 days ago, keeping on well. Merits respect. Promise on chasing debut over further at Tramore, has hurdles form over shorter, chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (3/1 +50%) Maxi Mac Gold	3 3/1(+50%)	(4) Maxi Mac Gold 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (25.2f, good, 5/2) 125 days ago. Makes chase debut. Back down in trip. Maiden hurdle winner at Cork in May, off 125 days, worth a market check on chasing debut.
4	12 4th (12) (25/1 -25%) Metersandmasks	25 25/1(-25%)	(12) Metersandmasks 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Off over 2 years. Makes chase debut. First run for yard after leaving Charles Byrnes.

MOSSY FEN PARK easily won a Nenagh point-to-point for Sean Doyle and showed smart form over hurdles, winning a maiden at the Down Royal Christmas meeting before finishing second to Captain Cody, also over this trip, in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse. He was subsequently bought for 235,000 pounds to stay with Henry de Bromhead and rates an exciting recruit to fences. Rainbow Trail has a similar profile to the selection and was just denied on his only point start before landing a bumper and Navan maiden hurdle last season. Point-to-point winner Encanto Bruno looked smart when gaining a fourth success under Rules in a Cheltenham novice hurdle last autumn, but has proved disappointing since.

MOSSY FEN PARK was last seen (in March) finishing second in the Easter Festival Novices' Hurrdle at Fairyhouse and, given his background in points, it's notable that he makes an early switch to chasing for his return, so he's the one to side with for all that both Encanto Bruno and Rainbow Trail are other notable newcomers in this sphere.

A chance is taken on AN PEANN DEARG. He is proven on good ground, he has an experience edge over most of his rivals and he is fit.

JUNOT was generally consistent in handicap hurdles last season before opening his account at Wexford in May. The Mick Winters-trained gelding hasn't really fired on his latest two appearances, but perhaps the switch to fences will prove the spark as he ran a cracker on his only chase start at Clonmel earlier this year. Joeswayornoway gained the latest of two wins over fences at Killarney nearly two years ago but gave some encouragement when reappearing over hurdles at Wexford, while Finnians Row, Aliunde and Kate Ill Know are others to consider. Birdsandthebees has been supported on a number of occasions over hurdles, including at Punchestown this summer, and it will be interesting to see how she fares in her first chase.

ALIUNDE made a big impression when making a successful chasing debut and there were excuses for a lesser effort at Downpatrick since, so he looks the one to side with for all that Finnians Row arrives in good order. Kate Ill Know is a player but most of the others have plenty to prove.

Preference is for consistent top-weight FINNIANS ROW, who followed a fourth at Kilbeggan race with a close second at Downpatrick latest

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.
