1	2 1st (2) (9/1 +10%) Catena Zapata		9 9/1(+10%)																															(2) Catena Zapata 9/1, Quickened and improved for better ground under a positive ride when winning the Conditions Hurdle at Downpatrick over 2m2f by 5 1/2l last time. Could figure here. Improved form to win a 2m2f Downpatrick novice; needs more but can't be underestimated.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 +31%) Avondale		2.75 11/4(+31%)																															(1) Avondale 11/4, Outpaced but finished strongly when fourth, beaten 3l, in the COLM QUINN BMW Novice Hurdle (Listed) over 2m1f at Galway last time. Steadily progressive and may prefer slightly further than 2m. Won at Bellewstown and fourth in Galway Listed; go well over this longer trip; be involved.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/4 +25%) Costacurta		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(3) Costacurta 9/4, Improved from debut, with winning margin exaggerated by a faller when landing a maiden hurdle here by 17l last time. Off a short break and effective between 16f and 19f; still progressing. Ran away with a C&D maiden hurdle in May; there should be more to come so taken seriously.
4	4 4th (4) (4/1 -20%) Dysart Dasher		4 4/1(-20%)																															(4) Dysart Dasher 4/1, From the yard that won this last year. Quickened clear early and won a maiden hurdle here by 3l last time. Steadily progressive and can improve again if settling. Won a 2m3f maiden hurdle at this course; improving and respected as yard's first string.
6	6 |F| (6) (7/2 +42%) Ebony King		3.5 7/2(+42%)																															(6) Ebony King 7/2, Made a very promising debut, showing a willing attitude when winning a maiden hurdle at Galway over 2m1f by 2 1/2l last time. Form franked and more to come; may stay a bit further than 2m. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner; looks a horse with for the future but still respected.

A competitive affair and AVONDALE, the only one not to win last time out, gets the vote in the hope that the ground isn't too lively. Barry Connell thinks highly of the Gleneagles gelding and has been looking forward to stepping him up in trip. The five-year-old wasn't beaten far in a strong novice event at Galway last month and going an extra three furlongs looks sure to suit this dual 1m4f winner on the Flat. Catena Zapata impressed the handicapper when making all at Downpatrick on his first start over hurdles for Ian Donoghue and could have more to offer. Costacurta and Dysart Dasher will have their supporters too.

COSTACURTA was impressive when winning over C&D back in May. He should have improved again so is selected in a strong novice.

1	4 1st (4) (7/2 -56%) Pampar Lady		3.5 7/2(-56%)																															(4) Pampar Lady 7/2, Latest form emphatically franked, improving to land a handicap by 4l off 98 over 2m1f at Cork last time; progressing. Won at Cork (2m1f); up 6lb and in trip but looks as if she will stay so on the shortlist.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 +9%) Malbas		10 10/1(+9%)																															(2) Malbas 10/1, Ran to form when scoring by a length off 100 over 2m here two starts back, benefitting from a clear passage; hampered at a key stage and flattened out when 13th beaten 22l off 106 last time; needs to improve. Won over 2m here two starts back but ran way below that level at Galway since.
3	7 3rd (7) (14/1 -75%) Hudson		14 14/1(-75%)																															(7) Hudson 14/1, Improved slightly upped in trip when fourth, beaten 8 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Wexford last time; showed useful French flat form and may stay a bit further than 2m over hurdles. Doesn't look particularly well-handicapped but is one to keep an eye on in the market.
4	10 4th (10) (10/1 +64%) Minority Interest		10 10/1(+64%)																															(10) Minority Interest 10/1, Below form on easier ground when needing the run, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Killarney last time; cheekpieces applied for the first time. Second over C&D in 2024; beaten a long way on return at Killarney so has to improve plenty.
5th	8 5th (8) (5/1 +58%) Navy Guitar		5 5/1(+58%)																															(8) Navy Guitar 5/1, Improved when scoring by 3/4l off 92 over 2m2f at Sligo two starts back, quickening and holding on gamely; still green with mistakes when making too much use of last time, finishing 14th beaten 23l off 102; this demands more. Well beaten at Galway last time; dropped 2lb but tends to jump left and others preferred.
6th	3 6th (3) (20/1 -25%) Must Meet Cecil		20 20/1(-25%)																															(3) Must Meet Cecil 20/1, Made too much use of when 7 1/2l third in a claiming hurdle over 2m2f at Sligo on latest start; steadily progressive and wears blinkers for the first time. Has run well in some claimers lately but poor in two handicaps; blinkers added.
7th	5 7th (5) (3/1 -9%) Smiling Bess		3 3/1(-9%)																															(5) Smiling Bess 3/1, Returned to form back down in trip, just flattening out late when 7 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Cork after a break; should improve for the run. Course winner; should have improved from Cork return and be involved off the same mark.
8th	6 8th (6) (15/2 +46%) Flidais		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(6) Flidais 15/2, Never threatened and was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Sligo last time; generally out of form but has a top jockey back on board. C&D winner won a beginners' chase in March but has been poor on her last two hurdle runs.
9th	1 9th (1) (33/1 -175%) Liceo		33 33/1(-175%)																															(1) Liceo 33/1, Improved but not knocked about after a late error when well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Wexford last time; generally out of form, though progressing and capable of better judged on French flat form. Unplaced in 3 maiden h'dles; likely to do better in handicaps and is worth a market check.
10th	9 10th (9) (13/2 -8%) Brave Soldier		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(9) Brave Soldier 13/2, Ran to form when 6 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Sligo on latest start; consistent. Beaten 6l over 2m5f at Sligo last time and this shorter trip may suit better; considered.

In two starts over C&D last summer for the late Kevin Prendergast, SMILING BESS landed a maiden hurdle and was a creditable second on handicap debut. After nearly a year out of action, the daughter of Mount Nelson made an encouraging start for her new yard when keeping on for third at Cork and can come forward from that. Pampar Lady has been in good heart this summer and Hudson is one to note on handicap debut.

Course maiden hurdle winner last year, SMILING BESS could improve enough from her Cork return to win again here.

1	5 1st (5) (8/13 +0%) Quantum Quest		0.615385 8/13(+0%)																															(5) Quantum Quest 8/13, From a yard that won this last year. Rallied gamely and ran to form when second, beaten 10l, in a 2m6f maiden hurdle at Downpatrick latest. Steadily progressive and generally consistent, with point form and recent effort suggesting 3m may suit. Has the most compelling form credentials and stepping up in trip can bring him on again.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/2 -33%) Reiki Revolution		2.5 5/2(-33%)																															(1) Reiki Revolution 5/2, Ran to form when finishing 5 1/2l third in a 3m maiden hurdle here on his most recent run. Usually held up and consistent at up to 3m on decent ground, though his jumping still leaves room for improvement. Beaten favourite in his last two maidens (the latest here) but ran well both times.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 -22%) Mighty Berkshire		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(4) Mighty Berkshire 11/2, Ran to debut form when comfortably held in a 2m6f maiden hurdle at Galway last time. Effective from 2 1/2m to 3/4m, shapes like a stayer and worth a try at 3m. Shaped well at Wexford (2m5f) and Galway (2m6f), latterly behind the Ebor favourite.
4	2 4th (2) (28/1 +15%) Krishna Bellevue		28 28/1(+15%)																															(2) Krishna Bellevue 28/1, Made a bad error and did not find much, running to debut form when well beaten in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Roscommon last time. Looks more one for handicaps. No improvement for the blinkers last time at Roscommon and wouldn't be the obvious answer.
5th	6 5th (6) (80/1 -142%) Cuguilla		80 80/1(-142%)																															(6) Cuguilla 80/1, Green and never threatened when well beaten on debut in a 2m maiden hurdle here on her only start. Best watched for now. 33-1 when beaten a long way in a 2m maiden here two weeks ago; raised in trip.
6th	3 6th (3) (33/1 +34%) Messi Magic		33 33/1(+34%)																															(3) Messi Magic 33/1, Yet to show real signs of ability and returns from a long absence. Needs to leave his point-to-point form behind if he is to make an impact under rules. Fell early in his first point and was pulled up in the second; long absence to overcome.

QUANTUM QUEST, placed in a strong contest on his only start in point-to-points, bumped into a useful Willie Mullins-trained opponent at Downpatrick when last seen in March. Runner-up over 2m6f on that occasion, the son of Idaho had a subsequent maiden winner back in third. The five-year-old has gained a nice bit of experience over hurdles and is unlikely to be found wanting for stamina as he takes another step up in trip. Bumper winner Reiki Revolution and Mighty Berkshire are the dangers.

The best form belongs to QUANTUM QUEST and he returns from a break with his yard having winners.

7	7 (7) (5/1 -43%) Hit The Frame		5 5/1(-43%)																															(7) Hit The Frame 5/1, Improved up in trip with an aggressive ride in first-time blinkers, going clear but beaten 3l off 79 in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Roscommon last time. Threat if building on that. Was 2nd in first-time blinkers at Roscommon last time; up 3lb; headgear retained; chance.
6	6 (6) (11/2 -22%) Thehairyfella		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(6) Thehairyfella 11/2, Rallied gamely and scored by a head off 80 over 3m at Downpatrick three starts back. Outpaced but rallied to finish fourth beaten 8 1/4l off 84 last time, still running to form. Worth stepping back up to 3m. Won at D'patrick; poor at Wexford but found 2m6f too sharp at Tramore; one to consider.
4	4 (4) (6/1 +25%) My Friend The Wind		6 6/1(+25%)																															(4) My Friend The Wind 6/1, Returned to form but was comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m6f at Roscommon last time. Generally out of form but probably needs this 3m now. Two hurdle wins but yet to win over fences; this trip should suit better than last time.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +0%) Dawn Escape		7 7/1(+0%)																															(2) Dawn Escape 7/1, Ran to form when stepping up in trip and grade, finishing fourth and beaten 8l in a handicap chase over 3m1f here last time. Maiden was beaten 8l over C&D last time; down 2lb and can be involved.
3	3 (3) (15/2 -88%) Movie King		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(3) Movie King 15/2, Ran to form and looked in need of the run when fitness gave way late, finishing 5 1/4l third in a handicap chase over 2m4f here most recently. Well treated on old form and should improve for that outing. Ran a cracker on return over 2m4f here; is a major player if staying this trip.
5	5 (5) (8/1 +20%) Ballagh Star		8 8/1(+20%)																															(5) Ballagh Star 8/1, Appeared unsuited by the drop in trip when finishing down the field in a handicap chase over 2m6f at Tramore most recently. Not out of it. Won over this trip at Sligo last year; has to return to that form but is dropping in h'cap.
9	9 (9) (9/1 +25%) Early Arrival		9 9/1(+25%)																															(9) Early Arrival 9/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m6f at Tramore last time. Yet to take to chasing. May now prefer easier ground. Yet to win over fences; not easy to fancy after being pulled-up at Tramore last week.
10	10 (10) (11/1 +31%) Tuff Days		11 11/1(+31%)																															(10) Tuff Days 11/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Wexford last time and is out of form. Remains a maiden. Yet to win in 28 races under rules and others preferred.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -50%) Container Madness		12 12/1(-50%)																															(8) Container Madness 12/1, Never threatened but was ridden to see out the trip when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 3m1f at Roscommon latest. Usually held up and should come on for that run. Of interest on chase debut. Maiden but not beaten far over hurdles at times; has to do better on chase debut.
11	11 (11) (18/1 -13%) Captain Kate		18 18/1(-13%)																															(11) Captain Kate 18/1, Ran to form when outpaced but saw out the trip well on chase debut, comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m1f at Roscommon last time. Generally out of form and inconsistent in a short career. Runner-up once over hurdles; not a bad chase debut last time and should improve.
1	1 (1) (20/1 +39%) Long Road		20 20/1(+39%)																															(1) Long Road 20/1, Never threatened but ran roughly to form when finishing down the field on handicap chase debut over 2m6f at Roscommon most recently. Generally out of form, usually held up, and has a bit to find. Poor since 2nd in a Tramore hunter chase in April and has to get back to that level.
12	12 (12) (22/1 -10%) Tennesse Boy		22 22/1(-10%)																															(12) Tennesse Boy 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Tramore last time and has yet to show anything. Poor over hurdles last twice and has to improve hugely now chasing.
13	13 (13) (28/1 +15%) Father Jed		28 28/1(+15%)																															(13) Father Jed 28/1, Continued in poor form when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Fairyhouse most recently. Generally out of form, returning from a long layoff, and looks regressive. Nine-time winner was poor when last seen and others make more appeal.

HIT THE FRAME showed his first bit of sparkle when second in a 16-runner handicap at Roscommon earlier this month. The fitting of blinkers had a positive effect on John Flavin's charge who was only overhauled on the run to the final fence having tried to make all. Similarly positive tactics are likely to be employed here and the six-year-old is less exposed than most of his rivals. Dawn Escape and Movie King are also noted.

Having shown improvement in first-time blinkers last time over this trip at Roscommon, HIT THE FRAME is selected.

7	7 (7) (11/10 +37%) Bal Kauto		1.1 11/10(+37%)																															(7) Bal Kauto 11/10, Won easily at Galway last time. Now up 13lb but still well treated on chase form. Improved again when landing a 2m6f handicap by 5l off 104 and may have more to offer over staying trips over hurdles. 2-2 over fences and returns to this discipline after career-best form over hurdles.
3	3 (3) (10/3 -11%) Nouvotic		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(3) Nouvotic 10/3, From a yard that has won two of the last ten renewals. Showed determination and improved from debut when winning a beginners' chase over 2m3f at Wexford by 2 1/2l last time. Should prove competitive in handicaps. Probably on a competitive mark and unexposed over this sort of trip, one he should stay.
1	1 (1) (11/2 -22%) Ho My Lord		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(1) Ho My Lord 11/2, Made mistakes but still ran to form when comfortably held in a 2m4f handicap chase at Wexford last time. Generally out of form and has a bit to find. A mid-race mistake was no help at Wexford last time; has to be respected.
2	2 (2) (10/1 -25%) Invictus Machin		10 10/1(-25%)																															(2) Invictus Machin 10/1, Winner of this race last year; ran to form when beaten 8 1/2l in a 2m7f handicap chase at Galway last time. Usually held up, with a top jockey back on board, but has a bit to find. 11lb lower when a length winner of this 12 months ago but he can deal with this mark.
5	5 (5) (10/1 -25%) Dorans Law		10 10/1(-25%)																															(5) Dorans Law 10/1, Benefited from a late faller when scoring by 5l off 109 at Wexford two starts ago. Travelled well but flattened out after a bad mistake when fourth, beaten 17l off 111 last time. On a good mark based on chase form and may prefer some ease in the ground. Won his final chase two runs back; others might be better in but should run well.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -17%) Sea Aster		14 14/1(-17%)																															(4) Sea Aster 14/1, Latest form franked. Improved in a weaker race and won by 2l off 117 over 3m at Perth three runs back. Unsuited by how the race unfolded when a poor fourth, beaten 34l off 120 last time. Holds only a minor chance. Had been in good form until running disappointingly back at Wexford last time.
6	6 (6) (25/1 +50%) Hascoeur Clermont		25 25/1(+50%)																															(6) Hascoeur Clermont 25/1, Badly hampered by a loose horse and never competitive when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wexford last time. Generally out of form but worth another chance. Doesn't arrive here in much form and would prefer it softer; pulled up in this last year.

BAL KAUTO was an easy winner over a similar trip (hurdles) here last month and followed up when thundering home from off the pace to land a competitive handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival by five lengths. Injury intervened after he won back-to-back handicap chases in 2023 and this will be his first start over the larger obstacles since then. This looks a good bit of placing by Declan Queally and the eight-year-old can get the better of last year's winner Invictus Machin and Nouvotic.

After impressive back-to-back wins over hurdles, BAL KAUTO (nap) could be too well handicapped for these off his lower chase mark.

Just denied at Wexford last time; with improvement from that looks the one to beat today.
5	5 (5) (11/4 +61%) Red Oak		2.75 11/4(+61%)																															(5) Red Oak 11/4, Yard won this race last year; promising debut in a good contest when beaten 9 1/4l in a bumper over 2m2f at Galway last time; should improve for the initial experience. Promise on bumper debut at Galway after a break; he looks a strong contender today.
7	7 (7) (7/2 -56%) Cailin Deas		3.5 7/2(-56%)																															(7) Cailin Deas 7/2, Ran to form, doing much the best of those coming from off the pace when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a mares bumper over 2m1f at Galway last time; consistent at 2m on decent ground in bumpers. Fourth at Galway last time was as good as any of her efforts and she is a major contender.
2	2 (2) (14/1 +22%) Carrig Padraig		14 14/1(+22%)																															(2) Carrig Padraig 14/1, Ran to form but was comfortably held in a bumper at Wexford last time; plenty more required to get off the mark. Soundly beaten in four bumpers and will have to find improvement.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -43%) Onlyforfrankie		20 20/1(-43%)																															(4) Onlyforfrankie 20/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 6l, in a maiden over 3m at Ballingarry last time; off a short break; showed minor promise in points. The best of two point efforts when fourth in May; has to improve plenty for bumper debut.
8	8 (8) (20/1 -150%) Dunbell Diva		20 20/1(-150%)																															(8) Dunbell Diva 20/1, Affinisea mare; half-sister to Pats Gift, who was poor at 19f; probably need this initial experience. Wouldn't have to be above average to play a major part on debut.
3	3 (3) (33/1 +18%) Groucho Max		33 33/1(+18%)																															(3) Groucho Max 33/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a bumper over 2m1f at Clonmel last time; off a short break; yet to show much in points or under rules. Well beaten in a point and a bumper so has to make huge improvement.
6	6 (6) (40/1 -122%) Sonny Koufax		40 40/1(-122%)																															(6) Sonny Koufax 40/1, Fell in a maiden over 3m at Lingstown last time; has shown little in points. Showed a glimpse of ability in three points; will have to find improvement on bumper debut.
1	1 (1) (80/1 -100%) Barrakilla Vage		80 80/1(-100%)																															(1) Barrakilla Vage 80/1, Far too keen and below debut form when finishing down the field in a bumper at Tramore last time; usually consistent; has worn a hood but still needs to learn to settle. Bit better on debut for this yard but tailed off at Tramore since; not easy to fancy.
9	9 (9) (250/1 -100%) Keep It Together		250 250/1(-100%)																															(9) Keep It Together 250/1, Has no worthwhile form; has beaten only one home in four starts under rules. Poor in three bumpers and a maiden hurdle so can't be fancied.

Not a lot of depth to this bumper and Sellerna Bay, runner-up in mares contest at Cork in May last year and again second earlier this month at Wexford, has obvious claims. She still looked a bit raw when narrowly beaten last time and should improve with racing. The likely favourite is taken on, though, with the well-related RED OAK, who ran a nice race on Rules debut when beaten a little over nine lengths at the Galway Festival. There were some useful types in that contest and he should come on plenty for the experience. Cailin Deas can also go well.

Having shown much more promise on his bumper debut at Galway than he did in points, RED OAK can improve enough to win.

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.
