1	10 1st (10) (7/2 +50%) Kargese		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(10) Kargese 7/2, Group 3 winner in France who shaped well on first run since leaving D. Sourdeau De Beauregard when ¾-length second of 12 to Kala Conti in Grade 2 event over C&D 39 days ago. Big player on that form. 3/4l second to Kala Conti in a C&D Grade 2 event, turnaround is not out of the question.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/4 -29%) Storm Heart		2.25 9/4(-29%)																															(8) Storm Heart 9/4, Fairly useful 1½m winner on the Flat in France and made a highly impressive hurdling debut in 11-runner juvenile at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy) 34 days ago, storming clear. Should have a lot more to offer. Looked potentially top-class when bolting up at Punchestown, heads a strong Mullins squad.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 +64%) Majborough		5 5/1(+64%)																															(5) Majborough 5/1, Tongue tied when landing 11-runner newcomers race at Auteuil (14.9f, soft) on debut 10 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Mlle D. Mele. Open to improvement. Made a positive impression at Auteuil last April though the bare form is unconvincing.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 +17%) Bunting		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(1) Bunting 15/2, Successful on sole start on the Flat in France and looked a very good prospect as he landed the odds with plenty to spare on hurdling debut at Limerick (2m) 39 days ago. Open to significant improvement. Did not have to get a hard race when beating an 86-rated Flat horse at Limerick.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/2 +21%) Kala Conti		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(9) Kala Conti 11/2, Made it 3 wins from 4 starts over hurdles in Grade 2 event over C&D (good to soft) 39 days ago, by ¾ length from Kargese, pushed out. Much respected. Defeated today's opponent Kargese in a C&D Grade 2 contest, not much between the pair.
6th	2 6th (2) (50/1 -52%) Ethical Diamond		50 50/1(-52%)																															(2) Ethical Diamond 50/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Failed to meet expectations when finishing a long way behind Intellotto on his hurdling debut over C&D but is clearly thought capable of a good deal better. Failed to do himself justice on hurdling debut, hard to fancy against winning stablemates.
7th	4 7th (4) (17/2 +39%) Intellotto		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(4) Intellotto 17/2, Showed fairly useful form when runner-up in a pair of Flat maidens and looks set to scale greater heights in this sphere judged on the manner of his hurdling debut success over C&D 38 days ago. Open to improvement and is an interesting runner upped in grade. C&D winner at Christmas coping well with testing conditions, potential for improvement.
8th	3 8th (3) (11/1 +8%) Highwind		11 11/1(+8%)																															(3) Highwind 11/1, Fairly useful on the Flat (stays 1½m) for Christopher Head and created a good impression sent hurdling when winning 18-runner juvenile at Punchestown (16.2f) 19 days ago. Sure to progress. Experienced on Flat in France, won on hurdling debut, will need to jump more efficiently.
9th	6 9th (6) (100/1 -100%) Open To Question		100 100/1(-100%)																															(6) Open To Question 100/1, Fairly useful form in Flat maidens and ran to a similar level when winning 11-runner juvenile hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 126 days ago, going clear. Cheekpieces replace blinkers and has lot more on his plate at this level. Won readily at Gowran in September, form not strong enough to make him a likely winner now.
10th	7 10th (7) (100/1 -52%) Ose Partir		100 100/1(-52%)																															(7) Ose Partir 100/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles, not disgraced when 9 lengths eighth of 12 to Kala Conti in Grade 2 over C&D (good to soft, 80/1) 39 days ago. Looks vulnerable again. Flat winner in France, has failed to build on promising hurdling debut at Galway.
11	11 |PU| (11) (200/1 -100%) Kimy		200 200/1(-100%)																															(11) Kimy 200/1, Matched previous form on first run since leaving E. D' Andigne when 4½ lengths fourth of 18 to Highwind in juvenile maiden hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, soft) 19 days ago. Faces a stiff task in this grade. Fourth behind today's rival Highwind on Irish debut at Punchestown, up against it.

LTO Selection:

Jockey Paul Townend rarely gets it wrong when choosing a first string amongst the Willie Mullins' contingent and STORM HEART looks a juvenile with an exciting future, having scored with authority on his stable debut at Punchestown in December. Kala Conti arguably sets the standard on form, following a Grade 2 success over C&D from the reopposing Kargese at Christmas, though she may need to step up again. Stablemates of the selection, Bunting and Highwind impressed on debut respectively and are open to any amount of improvement on the rise in grade.

KARGESE was beaten only ¾-length by Kala Conti in a Grade 2 over C&D in December and, with the run likely to have brought her on, she's taken to reverse the form with her old rival on these slightly better terms and come out on top. Kala Conti seems sure to put up another bold bid, with Storm Heart and Intellotto others to take seriously following highly impressive starts to their hurdling careers.

One of six for Willie Mullins, STORM HEART (nap) looked like a horse destined for greater things when winning easily at Punchestown

1	3 1st (3) (6/1 +57%) Il Etait Temps		6 6/1(+57%)																															(3) Il Etait Temps 6/1, Smart chaser. Creditable 5½ lengths second of 5 to Gaelic Warrior in Faugheen Novices' Chase (3/1) at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 37 days ago. Still has more to offer in this sphere, so not completely dismissed. Gave a competent display behind brilliant stablemate Gaelic Warrior at Limerick.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 -67%) Found A Fifty		10 10/1(-67%)																															(2) Found A Fifty 10/1, Very smart chaser. 2 wins from 3 runs this season. Didn't need to improve to win 4-runner Racing Post Novices' Chase (16/5) at this C&D (good to soft) 39 days ago by 1½ lengths from My Mate Mozzie. Seems the likeliest to capitalise if Marine Nationale fluffs his lines. A revelation over C&D at Christmas with Sharjah and a below-par Facile Vega behind.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +71%) Facile Vega		4 4/1(+71%)																															(1) Facile Vega 4/1, Very smart hurdler. Easy winner on chasing debut at Navan in November. 1/2, only 6¼ lengths last of 4 to Found A Fifty in Racing Post Novices' Chase at this C&D (good to soft) 39 days ago. Remains with plenty of potential as a chaser. Second to Marine Nationale in 2023 Supreme Novices', flopped behind Find A Fifty on latest.
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 +18%) Sharjah		33 33/1(+18%)																															(6) Sharjah 33/1, Very smart hurdler. Very smart winner at 16f over hurdles. 8/1, 3½ lengths third of 4 to Found A Fifty in Racing Post Novices' Chase at this C&D (good to soft) 39 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Six-time Grade 1 winner over hurdles, won first two chase starts, frailties evident lately.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/7 +0%) Marine Nationale		0.571429 4/7(+0%)																															(4) Marine Nationale 4/7, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who was 2-2 in bumpers and successful all 3 starts over hurdles last season, culminating in a ready success in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival (16.4f, soft, 9/2) in March. Hugely impressive start to chasing career over C&D and expected to follow up. Unbeaten, star novice hurdler last season, stunning C&D display on his chasing debut.
6th	5 6th (5) (200/1 -100%) Senecia		200 200/1(-100%)																															(5) Senecia 200/1, Useful chaser. 9/4, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, heavy) 13 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Easy to look elsewhere. Winner and twice Grade 3-placed over fences, out of his depth in this grade.

LTO Selection:

---

Last year's Supreme winner MARINE NATIONALE took to chasing exceptionally well over C&D at Christmas and a similar style of victory on this occasion would cement his position as the leading 2m novice chaser on either side of the Irish Sea. Found A Fifty landed a Grade 1 here on Boxing Day, with Sharjah (third) and the disappointing Facile Vega (fourth) in behind, so the main Willie Mullins contender may well prove to be Il Etait Temps, who claimed the scalp of Facile Vega at this meeting 12 months ago and shaped with plenty of credit when runner-up to Gaelic Warrior in the Faugheen at Limerick.

MARINE NATIONALE continues to look a class act and he's fully expected to maintain his unbeaten record for all that Found A Fifty has looked a natural since sent chasing and boasts a good level of form. Facile Vega obviously can't be ruled out despite a disappointing showing last time.

Everything points to MARINE NATIONALE, an outstanding novice hurdler last season and potentially an exceptional novice chaser

Significantly up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Didn't need to improve to win Cork maiden hurdle; drop in trip against him since.
7th	16 7th (16) (11/2 -10%) Canal End		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(16) Canal End 11/2, Promising individual who fared best of those held up when third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (25.2f, heavy, 5/2) 56 days ago. Form been franked so he can go well again with better to come. In good form; well backed fav when stepped up to this trip latest, finishing 3rd of 16.

Switches from chase to hurdles. Yard in good form. Much respected on his handicap hurdle debut. Maiden hurdle winner before tailed off at Cheltenham; may resume progress on h'cap bow.
9th	13 9th (13) (10/1 +29%) Will Do		10 10/1(+29%)																															(13) Will Do 10/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in November. Respectable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Navan (25.2f, heavy, 11/4) 56 days ago, finishing tired. Remains open to progress with few miles still on the clock. Beaten in bid for a 4-timer on h'cap debut latest but ground was testing and may do better.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, won 14-runner novice hurdle (5/1) at Thurles (23f, soft) 72 days ago. Needs considering. Off the mark in mares' maiden hurdle at Thurles latest but this is a whole new ball game.

Not ruled out despite taking an 8 lb hike in the weights. Won 2 of last 3 but needs a lot more from 8lb higher in a race of this depth.

Switches from Flat to hurdles. Back up in trip. Useful hurdler, good on last hurdle outing.

14	14 |PU| (14) (6/1 +0%) Fine Margin		6 6/1(+0%)																															(14) Fine Margin 6/1, Off 7 months/first run since leaving Matthew Daly when promising second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (24.3f, good to soft, 22/1) 70 days ago. One to keep on right side with further progress on the cards. 0-7 under rules but big run on yard debut at Haydock and Crambo (3rd) won Long Walk since.

Career best when winning 4-runner handicap hurdle (6/4) at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) 32 days ago. Stable having good spell. Not ruled out. 4-17 over hurdles; Ayr winner last month; 1lb higher but this is much more competitive.
3	3 |PU| (3) (50/1 -150%) Joyeux Machin		50 50/1(-150%)																															(3) Joyeux Machin 50/1, Useful winner at 20f in chases. Last of 2 in minor event chase (10/11) at Navan (20.4f, heavy) 48 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Stable in good form. Cheekpieces back on. Has work to do. 2-6 over hurdles; below form in a match over fences latest; doesn't look well treated.

LTO Selection:

---

Only one horse has carried more than 10st 13lb to success in the last nine years, so it might pay to side with MUSIC OF TARA, who broke her duck over hurdles when winning here (2m4f) in December. A subsequent 7lb hike will ask more questions of Henry de Bromhead's mare, but the step up to an extended 3m could see her in an even better light. Canal End hit the frame in a similar event at Navan last time and he holds obvious claims off 1lb higher. Others to note include Fine Margin, Black Bamboo and Gaoth Chuil.

Lots with chances. CANAL END looks to have a fair bit more to offer over staying trips so Peter Fahey's unexposed sort edges the vote. Fine Margin is expected to build on a promising Haydock debut second for Willie Mullins and is next on the list, although a good case can also be made for the likes of Gaoth Chuil, Nine Graces, Will Do, Panda Boy and Park of Kings in this ultra-competitive handicap.

FINE MARGIN went close at Haydock on debut for Willie Mullins and the 3rd gave the form a major boost by winning the Long Walk since

1	3 1st (3) (1/3 +8%) Galopin Des Champs		0.333333 1/3(+8%)																															(3) Galopin Des Champs 1/3, Started 2023 with win in this race and the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Suffered short-priced defeats to Fastorslow at Punchestown on his next 2 starts but he produced a performance of rare quality when demolishing his rivals in the Savills here over Christmas. Very hard to beat if in that form. Gold Cup hero was brilliant at Christmas, likely to avenge defeats inflicted by Fastorslow.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 -40%) Fastorslow		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(2) Fastorslow 7/2, Rounded off last season with a defeat of Galopin des Champs at Punchestown and had too much for that reopposing rival again in the John Durkan back at Punchestown on his reappearance. Unplaced in 3 previous Leopardstown starts but bit premature to suggest this place doesn't suit him. Has upstaged Galopin Des Champs in two Punchestown clashes, again holds a fighting chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 +58%) I Am Maximus		14 14/1(+58%)																															(4) I Am Maximus 14/1, Last season's Irish Grand National winner. Improved to bag the Grade 1 Drinmore on his Fairyhouse reappearance but he was 31 lengths adrift of reopposing stablemate Galopin des Champs when fourth in the Savills here over Christmas. Irish Grand National/Drinmore winner, not in same league as stablemate Galopin Des Champs.
1	1 |U| (1) (20/1 -150%) Conflated		20 20/1(-150%)																															(1) Conflated 20/1, Won this and the Savills here in 2022. Creditable 1¼ lengths third of 4 to Gerri Colombe in Down Royal Grade 1 in November but he'd been left trailing by Galopin des Champs when unseating at the last in this season's Savills. Won this race in 2022, third in 2023 Cheltenham Gold Cup, looking vulnerable this season.

LTO Selection:

---

All concerns about GALOPIN DES CHAMPS following last season's Gold Cup success were laid to rest with the star chaser delivering a performance right out of the top drawer in the Savills Chase here over Christmas. A 23-length demolition of Gerri Colombe was a true reflection of what Willie Mullins' charge can achieve when at his very best and he can defend the title he claimed so impressively 12 months ago. He meets Fastorslow for the fourth time, with the score being 2-1 in favour of his rival, and Martin Brassil's gelding is the only one in the line-up capable of giving the selection a race, with Conflated and I Am Maximus needing plenty of luck to go in their direction for them to surprise.

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS looked back to his scintillating best here over Christmas and if in a similar mood again he should turn the tables on Fastorslow, who has inflicted 2 Punchestown defeats on last year's Cheltenham Gold Cup hero.

Following a devastating performance here at Christmas GALOPIN DES CHAMPS can avenge two Punchestown defeats inflicted by Fastorslow

1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +27%) Madara		4 4/1(+27%)																															(8) Madara 4/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 9/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase at Cheltenham (16.3f, good to soft) 49 days ago on third start for this yard. Shortlist material. First win for new yard when winning getting good ride at Cheltenham latest; unexposed 5yo.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 -29%) Path D'oroux		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(7) Path D'oroux 9/2, Good second of 7 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (17.3f, soft, 7/1) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly back in a handicap. More encouragement in last couple of runners but he's not the slickest jumper; risky.

Won twice over fences last season; shown little this term; Stone-Walsh's claims 5lb helps.
6th	11 6th (11) (22/1 -83%) Typical Thomas		22 22/1(-83%)																															(11) Typical Thomas 22/1, Latest win in chase at Cork in October. Respectable 11¼ lengths sixth of 10 to The Folkes Tiara in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft, 17/2) 39 days ago, held back by jumping. Has work to do. Thwarted in C&D hat-trick bid latest behind some of these; may struggle to reverse form.

May still have more to offer as a chaser. Won twice over fences this term; bounced back from lesser run when a good C&D 2nd latest.
8th	10 8th (10) (7/1 -27%) The Folkes Tiara		7 7/1(-27%)																															(10) The Folkes Tiara 7/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft, 11/2) 39 days ago by 1¼ lengths from The Big Chap, keeping on well. Must be respected. Gained first chase success, beating The Big Chap by 1l; needs progress to confirm the form.
9th	13 9th (13) (40/1 +20%) The Little Yank		40 40/1(+20%)																															(13) The Little Yank 40/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2022. Last of 7 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f, good to soft, 11/1) 38 days ago. Back down in trip. Unplaced in last 7 and didn't beat a rival latest; 1lb wrong; 2m1f probably too sharp.
10th	6 10th (6) (18/1 +28%) Grey Diamond		18 18/1(+28%)																															(6) Grey Diamond 18/1, Useful chaser for Sam Thomas but well held both starts this season for new yard. Career best at Haydock last term; not at same level for new yard but back on good mark.
12	12 |PU| (12) (11/2 +54%) Henn See		5.5 11/2(+54%)																															(12) Henn See 11/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 6/4, fifth of 6 in novice chase at Limerick (17.7f, heavy) 39 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap chase debut. Worth another chance. Form of Clonmel beginners' success is working out; disappointing fav latest though.

It may pay to be in a forgiving mood with the lightly-raced HENN SEE, who disappointed on his latest start at Limerick, but he can make his presence felt off what could prove a lenient mark on his handicap debut. Path D'oroux rates as the main danger to the selection on the back of his creditable second to a useful type over an extended 2m1f at Fairyhouse last month, while The Folkes Tiara has solid claims after giving an exhibition of jumping en route to victory over C&D on Boxing day.

Plenty to consider but French-recruit MADARA is coming good for this yard so could be the answer after his decisive win at Cheltenham. Henn See disappointed at Limerick on Boxing Day but starts life in handicaps off a fair-looking mark, while Solness won a similar event in good style at Fairyhouse 9 weeks ago.

THE BIG CHAP just failed to reel in The Folkes Tiara here on St Stephen's Day and he may be able to gain revenge now 3lb better off

The one to beat. 5-5, including this race last year en route to two Grade 1 wins, sets a very high standard.
7th	9 7th (9) (18/1 -50%) Joystick		18 18/1(-50%)																															(9) Joystick 18/1, Once-raced winner in bumpers. 1 win from 1 run this season. 11/8, won 8-runner bumper at this course (20f, heavy) on NH debut 38 days ago, responding well.

Won 7-runner bumper at Ayr (16f, soft, 9/4) 45 days ago, quickening clear. More on plate here. Promising sort but this is a big jump in class after an emphatic win at Ayr in December.

LTO Selection:

It was in this contest last year that A DREAM TO SHARE rose to prominence before a memorable Champion Bumper double at Cheltenham and Punchestown. The six-year-old sets a lofty standard, even after a 283-day absence, and he should have too much for Redemption Day, who returned from a similar layoff himself to run an excellent race over C&D at Christmas. Of those with less experience, You Oughta Know and Jeroboam Machin are capable of being in the shake-up.

It's hard to get away from A DREAM TO SHARE, who was the dominant force in bumpers last season. Willie Mullins has several candidates with Redemption Day and You Oughta Know particualrly respected.

As an unbeaten dual Grade 1 winner, A DREAM TO SHARE has impeccable credentials endorsed by his win here last season after a break

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.
