Not the strongest looking contest and DSCHINGIS DRAGON can strike after a solid enough placed effort at Cork. The French import was a winner on the Flat in her native land and, having fallen at the first on her hurdling debut in June, she shaped with promise the following month when third to Billie Frechette. There looks scope for further improvement from her. Stay In The Game ran a nice race when fourth on his hurdling debut at Wexford in late August and could be a danger. Money for the Gavin Cromwell-trained newcomer Rackemandstackem would be noteworthy. He's a half-brother to a couple of hurdle winners.

Stay In The Game and DSCHINGIS DRAGON have the best form and narrow preference is for the latter who should relish softer ground

MA JACKS HILL may be able to make a winning start over hurdles. The five-year-old won a point-to-point at Dromahane back in April 2024, beating a smart horse in Sortudo, and made 310,000 euros in the sales ring subsequently. He was turned over at a short price on his 'track' debut, finishing third to stablemate William Butler, and was also runner-up in another bumper subsequently. Going over jumps now may bring improvement from him. Los Blanco was beaten at odds-on when last seen at Naas in April. He had been a promising third at the same venue previously and could be a danger. The 120-rated Letos is another who has to be on the shortlist.

Better was surely expected of expensive point purchase MA JACKS HILL during his bumper season, but perhaps hurdles can bring out more

The forecast rain may not suit a lot of these and MALBAS gets the vote. The Ned Buckley-trained gelding chased home Pampar Lady on his last outing at Kilbeggan in August and that form has been boosted since with the winner going on to follow up at Listowel. Malbas has won on soft ground in the past so an ease isn't a big concern. Leave In Secret was an impressive winner in Galway last month, but reportedly wants good ground so that would be a concern. Farrokh has been knocking on the door and has to come into calculations.

Softer conditions pose a question for most. A chance is taken on PARKGARVE who put in his best effort on his most recent hurdles start
Class & Speed Card

There should be plenty of pace on, with the three main protagonists all liking to lead. ADELA ICON may prove the pick dropping back in trip. The Snow Sky mare tried to force things from the front at Listowel, but dropped away tamely at the business end over 2m4f. She was a good winner at Bellewstown over 2m1f prior to that and handles softer ground. Royal Hollow ran poorly when tried in a visor at Listowel, but the headgear is taken off and she looks the danger on the pick of her form. The Great Nudie makes her seasonal debut and is a capable sort. She's also respected.

If ADELA ICON is at her best then she should take this. She stopped quickly last time but was an impressive winner before that
Class & Speed Card

It was a non-event for KOOL ONE at Listowel with his saddle slipping early. The Kool Kompany gelding had been in fine form previously, winning on the Flat at Roscommon and over timber in Wexford. He's a smart horse and looks capable of landing a race of this standard off his current figure of 118. Arctic Flame won her maiden hurdle at Down Royal in good style and looks on a fair mark for her handicap debut. She could be the danger. Ballycashin ran a big race at Listowel, losing out narrowly in a three-way finish. She also has to be on the shortlist.

In good form this summer, KOOL ONE (nap) was pulled-up in the Lartigue after the saddle slipped at the start and can make amends
Class & Speed Card

Killarney maiden hurdle winner ROCKONLIAM can follow up on his handicap debut. Sent off favourite on that occasion, the Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding led at the last, before keeping on strongly to open his account. With both the third and fourth-placed horses going on to score subsequently, the form has quite a strong look to it. Darcy's Friend, who landed a gamble on stable debut for Emmet Mullins, failed to back that run up at Tipperary last time. However, he's noted along with recent Roscommon second Live To Laugh.

Given how well his Killarney win has worked out, ROCKONLIAM could be thrown in off an opening mark of 103

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

With Patrick Mullins in the saddle, Downpatrick winner LIADAWN catches the eye. Sent off a strong favourite on her racecourse debut, the daughter of Jukebox Jury was always prominent before stretching clear of her rivals from over a furlong out. Apart from the fact that the five-year-old was visually impressive, the form of that race has been well franked in the interim. Both the second and third, who proved no match for the selection that day, have won subsequently. A stablemate of the selection, Closutton also won her bumper first time out and is noted along with Galway winner Maximillian Lady.

Willie Mullins' LIADAWN won decisively on soft ground on debut and is preferred by Patrick Mullins so she looks the safest bet

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.
