SOMMESKY added to a Limerick bumper win when successful in a 2m3f maiden hurdle also at Limerick over the Christmas period. The selection found Grade 1 company too hot behind Final Demand here last month, and confidence can be taken from the fact that the de Bromhead yard is in much better form now. Great Attitude landed a gamble on debut at Fairyhouse last weekend and has plenty of scope for improvement, while Gowran Park maiden winner Coral River is closely matched with that rival on a line through Kish Bank. Honesty Policy enters calculations on his decisive Navan maiden win, while Champagne Jury and Rockymountainbleu are others to consider in a competitive event.

Though he's the only one of these without hurdles experience to draw upon, CHAMPAGNE JURY has shown that he can negotiate obstacles having finished runner-up on his completed start between the flags. The 6-y-o did the job well in a Naas bumper on his Rules debut in January and is taken to follow up on this hurdling bow. Honesty Policy opened his account in good style at Navan three weeks ago and is feared most ahead of Rockymountainbleu.

HONESTY POLICY (nap) showed a nice attitude when winning at Navan and if he handles this quicker ground, he could be hard to beat

HARBOUR HIGHWAY is not the most consistent of performers but holds strong claims if producing his best. The point-to-point winner had Net Boy 13 lengths behind in fourth when landing a Navan bumper last year and was sent off a well-backed favourite when hampered at a crucial stage in the 25-runner Fairyhouse maiden hurdle won by Ballygunner Castle. Quint Major was also a bumper winner last year at Clonmel and having shown promise behind the selection's stablemate McLaurey in a Limerick maiden hurdle, was probably unsuited by heavy ground last time at Punchestown. Polemon has won three times on the Flat and showed promise in two hurdle starts.

FORTUNE THE BRAVE looked like a stayer in the making when winning a 2½m Kilbeggan bumper in September, which raises a question over the suitability of this drop back in trip now switched to hurdles. That said, if plenty of use is made of the 5-y-o he could prove hard to catch round here, in a race featuring a dearth of appealing candidates. Polemon is just about the pick of those with experience in this sphere, while point winner Cabaret Prince is also worth a second look.

The race-fit POLEMON will appreciate the drying ground and he ran creditably in a much stronger C&D maiden than this in December.

THEDEVILSCOACHMAN gets a tentative vote in a race where there are question marks over most of the field. The Noel Meade-trained gelding is without a win in nearly two years but has shaped well on his latest two starts, although this drop in trip is a concern. He had Meet And Greet 16 lengths behind when runner-up to Maxxum in the Grade 2 Boyne Hurdle at Navan last time, and is preferred to Aspire Tower who made a winning return at Punchestown in October but has been let down by his jumping on both outings since. Pied Piper is the pick on official ratings but hasn't been seen since taking a heavy fall in that aforementioned Punchestown race won by Aspire Tower.

The one with the most solid credentials based on recent form is THEDEVILSCOACHMAN, who has resumed with a couple of solid efforts in Grade 2 events at Gowran and Navan. He is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. Pied Piper would be a tough nut to crack if anywhere near his best but he was beating a retreat when falling at the final flight in the Punchestown race won by Aspire Tower in October and now has a point to prove.

A chance is taken on ASPIRE TOWER. He might be able to get an easy lead here and he won his last start over this trip at Punchestown

SAFFRONANDBLUE won twice on the Flat last spring including over an extended 1m2f at Sligo and any market support would be significant as he tackles handicap company for the first time over hurdles. The Martin Brassil-trained gelding hasn't been disgraced in three maiden outings and could be on a reasonable mark. Down Around has put together three solid efforts over 2m4f this winter notably winning at Thurles, although this step back in trip may not be in his favour. The Nagger Reidy opened his account over 2m2f at the Listowel Festival but hasn't added to that tally despite being well supported on all three outings since. Royal Time and Oakley are others to note.

Successful twice on the Flat last spring, SAFFRONANDBLUE may well leave his low-key maiden hurdle efforts behind now making his handicap debut in this sphere. He shades preference ahead of The Nagger Reidy, who left the impression that this drop to the minimum trip would be a good move when fifth over 2½m at Fairyhouse last month. The lightly-raced Miss Maxfort and Oakley are others with claims.

A chance is taken on PAPA BARNS. He's 4lb wrong but he is capable of winning one of these and the drying ground is a plus

CRESCENT MOON was beaten almost 52 lengths on a recent run in a better race but had previously shown much stronger form and was an eye-catcher on handicap debut in January. The form of her Naas bumper runner-up effort last April reads very well and while never in contention at Gowran recently, remains well handicapped from 106. Today's ground and distance is also in her favour. Liberated Light finished behind the selection at Cork in January and is 4lb better off while Jolie Jewel is quirky but has been running well. Pralognan is a useful good-ground Flat performer but was well enough held at Down Royal.

The modest pace probably didn't help CRESCENT MOON when upped to 19.8f at Gowran recently and, better judged on her handicap debut second at Cork in January, she is well worth another chance back down in trip here. Tremaine could be about to take a step forward now pitched into a handicap debut in this sphere and he is one to note in the betting, while Liberated Light is also shortlisted.

Having bombed out last time over 2m4f it could pay to keep the faith with CRESCENT MOON now dropped back in trip

NAS NA RIOGH is 3lb out of the handicap but nonetheless appears nicely treated on his handicap debut. Built for chasing and a former point-to-point winner, he showed useful hurdles form last season and is rated 129 in that sphere. He was well held in three chase outings to date but those latest two runs were over inadequate distances and he will benefit from reverting to this distance on suitably drying ground. Five of the runners from the recent course-and-distance chase reoppose, with best-placed third Monbeg Park holding obvious claims despite being in the handicapper's grip. Tyre Kicker ran well at Windsor in January and should also compete under a light weight.

Having returned to form when runner-up in a Grade 2 contest at Thurles, BROOMFIELD BIJOU could be the answer to this open-looking handicap. She may have most to fear from Tyre Kicker, who also got back on track when finding just one too good at Windsor in January. The admirably consistent Monbeg Park is also accorded respect, while Meetingofthewaters needs considering and Nas Na Riogh is a likely improver now venturing down the handicap route in this sphere.

On the back of a good third over C&D at the Dublin Racing Festival, MONBEG PARK gets the vote over Tyre Kicker

Dour stayer BRANDT is the pick stepping up in distance. Initially tried over shorter trips in the UK, his recent ratings climb has been mirrored by him going up in distance and while beaten by One Horse Army at Fairyhouse last month, raced quite prominently then and is now 5lb better off. Progressive One Horse Army also stays very well and should again compete. Brucejack was beaten by a subsequent winner at Punchestown and had previously shown form at this level, while the in-form Union Station is difficult to assess but is a fascinating runner stepping up a mile in distance.

BRANDT did well under the circumstances when ¾-length second to One Horse Army at Fairyhouse last time and, likely to relish this stamina test, Cian Collins' charge could be the one to deliver the goods this time. One Horse Army should be on the premises once again in his hat-trick bid, while Union Station is open to improvement now moving up in distance on his handicap debut in this sphere and Brucejack is another with appealing claims.

Preference is for BRUCEJACK, who is proven at the trip and whose recent Punchestown maiden second has been franked by the winner

ONEINTHEWELL has a fine pedigree and debuts for a yard which does very well in bumpers. The selection's dam was bumper-placed but, far more notably, is a half-sister to Altior, graded-placed Princess Leya and four other winners. His trainer has a good line with recent bumper form and it is encouraging that Oneinthewell makes his debut aged four under Patrick Mullins. There are no form lines tying together previous winners Eternal Echo and Carrigmoorna Beech and while both won slowly-run bumpers on debut, they showed nice ability and remain open to vast improvement.

It was hard not to be impressed by the way CARRIGMOORNA BEECH went about her business when making a winning debut at Gowran and she will prove hard to beat. Given Thomas Cooper's record in bumpers and with Patrick Mullins an eye-catching booking, Oneinthewell is one to be interested in, while Naas winner Eternal Echo is best of the rest.

CARRIGMOORNA BEECH achieved more at Gowran than Eternal Echo did in a slowly-run four-runner contest at Naas and gets the nod

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.
