1	15 1st (15) (16/1 +52%) Miss Gherkin		16 16/1(+52%)																															(15) Miss Gherkin 16/1, Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 39 days ago. Still much respected on her handicap hurdle debut. Ran okay at Tramore in November but tailed off twice since; interesting back in tr,ip.
2	1 2nd (1) (14/1 -27%) Clever Currency		14 14/1(-27%)																															(1) Clever Currency 14/1, Latest win in chase at Sligo in September. Below-par seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.8f, heavy, 9/1) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted so no surprise to see last year's winner of this bounce back. Winner over fences this winter but tailed off last two hurdle starts.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/3 +17%) Gamigin		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(7) Gamigin 10/3, Thriving and arrives on a hat-trick after stylish wins at Ayr and in 19-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17f, soft) 68 days ago. Big shout despite taking an 8 lb hike in the weights. Bids for hat-trick; good value for winning margin latest; 8lb rise is fine; respected.
4	19 4th (19) (12/1 +14%) Papa Barns		12 12/1(+14%)																															(19) Papa Barns 12/1, Unreliable sort. 10/3, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy) 100 days ago. Significantly back down in trip with work to do. RESERVE 10-race maiden; tailed off at Fairyhouse last time and off 100 days; new yard; reserve.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 +20%) Poets Cottage		16 16/1(+20%)																															(2) Poets Cottage 16/1, 50/1, seventeenth of 21 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, heavy) 66 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Promising return at Cork when in the frame; excuses twice since and may bounce back.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 -100%) Magic Olinger		11 11/1(-100%)																															(6) Magic Olinger 11/1, 3/1, very good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.1f, heavy) 78 days ago. Can do better still so he's a player with that form working out well. Best run yet when well backed 4th at Fairyhouse in similar ground; should go well.
7th	5 7th (5) (4/1 +11%) Clear The Clouds		4 4/1(+11%)																															(5) Clear The Clouds 4/1, 4/1, creditable third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22f, heavy) 21 days ago. Down in trip. Yard in good form. Should go well again. Solid form despite 0-13 record but may find this too sharp and up 2lb for latest 3rd too.
8th	16 8th (16) (11/1 +8%) Ivane		11 11/1(+8%)																															(16) Ivane 11/1, Visored for 1st time, below-form sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Down Royal (20.4f, heavy, 11/2) on debut over fences 40 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back down in trip. Unreliable type. Won at Galway this season but hasn't built on that; respectable chase debut latest.
9th	13 9th (13) (8/1 +84%) The Lucky Lobster		8 8/1(+84%)																															(13) The Lucky Lobster 8/1, 80/1, fair eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 38 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time with more required if he's to gain a maiden victory. Poor maiden hurdle form and tailed off on h'cap debut when 80s; tongue-tie on.
10th	8 10th (8) (25/1 -25%) Diamond Dollar		25 25/1(-25%)																															(8) Diamond Dollar 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 38 days ago, behind when pulled up before 2 out. Plenty to find on form. Poor form in maiden hurdles and showed nothing on h'cap debut since; may need further.
11th	18 11th (18) (50/1 -25%) Sunwalk		50 50/1(-25%)																															(18) Sunwalk 50/1, Eleventh of 22 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy, 28/1) 63 days ago. Others more persuasive. Not a bad run at Naas in December; poor effort at Punchestown since and needs career best.
12th	4 12th (4) (28/1 +30%) Quite Incredible		28 28/1(+30%)																															(4) Quite Incredible 28/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Fairyhouse (19.8f, heavy) 25 days ago. Others appeal more. 0-15; promise last term but really lost his way of late; back down in trip.
13th	17 13th (17) (80/1 -142%) Ballerina Boxer		80 80/1(-142%)																															(17) Ballerina Boxer 80/1, First run since leaving John McConnell when sixteenth of 25 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Naas (15.6f, heavy) 7 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Easy to look elsewhere. 4th in bumper last summer but shown nothing over timber since; h'cap debut.
14th	10 14th (10) (25/1 -25%) Petit Dejeuner		25 25/1(-25%)																															(10) Petit Dejeuner 25/1, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in November. 10/1, last of 10 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.8f, heavy) 22 days ago so needs to get back on track. Won on h'cap debut on return but tailed off twice since and now has a bit to prove.
15th	3 15th (3) (12/1 -50%) Milk Market		12 12/1(-50%)																															(3) Milk Market 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 15/2, sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 113 days ago. Booking of Walsh a plus. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. Left debut behind with Limerick 4th; poor run at Gowran since; off 113 days; check market.
16th	11 16th (11) (20/1 -43%) Dream Escape		20 20/1(-43%)																															(11) Dream Escape 20/1, Fair Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Tenth of 22 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 49 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should progress. Fair performer on the Flat but struggled with his jumping in 3 hurdle runs; h'cap debut.
17th	9 17th (9) (80/1 -142%) Inchiquin Maid		80 80/1(-142%)																															(9) Inchiquin Maid 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy) 87 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. 0-4 over hurdles; tailed off on h'cap debut latest and plenty to find from this mark.
12	12 |PU| (12) (11/1 -100%) Tuckmill		11 11/1(-100%)																															(12) Tuckmill 11/1, 1 win from 1 run this season. Improved to win 15-runner handicap hurdle (9/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 80 days ago, just holding on. Firmly in the picture. Both wins at Naas; latest on return; slight concern he's not been seen since; up 5lb.

CLEAR THE CLOUDS is a 13-race maiden who drops in distance but has recent heavy-ground form. Placed over 2m1f last July, his two recent runs have been encouraging, with the winner of the Navan race boosting the form by scoring subsequently. Gamigin was beaten in his first 17 hurdle runs but has won his last two. He is 8lb higher than when winning at Down Royal but his same rider claims an extra 3lb. Tuckmill was reported to have blood at both nostrils on each of his last two runs, including when winning in December (with Sunwalk finishing fifth and Ivane seventh). He returns from a break on more testing ground and is 5lb higher than at Naas, when his rider claimed 4lb. Clever Currency won last year's renewal but was well beaten twice recently. Milk Market debuts in handicaps returning from a break while Magic Olinger ran well on his own recent handicap bow. Coillte Aris was gambled at Clonmel and is now tried in a first-time tongue-tie while first reserve Papa Barns was reported to have hung badly left on his previous run and reverts down in distance.

GAMIGIN has an 8 lb weights rise to overcome but Noel Kelly's thriving 6-y-o is still fancied to complete a hat-trick given the smoothness of his two successes at Ayr and Down Royal. The much less exposed Magic Olinger has better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Coillte Aris, Clear The Clouds and Milk Market.

It might be worth taking a flyer on POETS COTTAGE who has had excuses on his last couple of starts and he may resume progress

1	5 1st (5) (33/1 -18%) Brideswell Lad		33 33/1(-18%)																															(5) Brideswell Lad 33/1, Latest win in hurdle at Wexford in September. Below form seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Thurles (21.6f, heavy, 50/1) 42 days ago. Difficult ask. Off three months and no show in two runs after a heavy fall at Listowel; others preferred.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/1 +50%) Battle Of Mirbat		7 7/1(+50%)																															(9) Battle Of Mirbat 7/1, C&D winner. 15/2, pulled up in handicap chase at Thurles (21.6f, heavy) 42 days ago, weakening from 5 out. Well below par at Thurles last time but won't be far away on his previous form.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/1 -120%) Birchdale		11 11/1(-120%)																															(4) Birchdale 11/1, C&D winner. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner minor event chase at Punchestown (24f, soft, 5/2). 28/1, unseated rider in handicap chase at this C&D (soft) since. Unseated very early in the Leopardsown Chasel after winning over banks at Punchestown.
4	11 4th (11) (22/1 -57%) The Abbey		22 22/1(-57%)																															(11) The Abbey 22/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Limerick in May. Fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (29.2f, soft, 11/1) 133 days ago. Back down in trip. Off since October and out of form when last seen; plenty to do on that form.
5th	7 5th (7) (7/2 +56%) Genois		3.5 7/2(+56%)																															(7) Genois 7/2, Good second of 10 in minor event chase (9/2) at Punchestown (24.6f, soft) 27 days ago, clear of rest. Should go well again. Runner-up over banks at Punchestown last month; acts on the ground and each-way chance.
6th	10 6th (10) (11/1 +50%) The Little Yank		11 11/1(+50%)																															(10) The Little Yank 11/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, ninth of 11 in handicap chase at this course (17f, soft) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Not a lot to be encouraged about from his last couple of runs and others preferred.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -129%) Now Where Or When		16 16/1(-129%)																															(3) Now Where Or When 16/1, Hurdles/dual chase winner who ran a cracker when third behind Kemboy in Gr. 3 Bobbyjo Chase a year ago. Failed to stay in Irish National final start last term but likely he'll strip fitter for his Navan return and potentially well treated back in handicap company. Taken out several times due to soft or heavy ground so further rain would be a concern.
8th	1 8th (1) (17/2 -21%) Grandero Bello		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(1) Grandero Bello 17/2, Latest win in chase at Gowran in February 2023. 11/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good to soft). Off 10 months. Has run well fresh before; the class act of the race and respected if fit enough.
8	8 |U| (8) (2/1 +43%) Snake Oil		2 2/1(+43%)																															(8) Snake Oil 2/1, Low mileage 9-y-o. 7/2, good fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Naas (16f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Player. Gradually improving;step back up in trip should suit well but unproven on ground this soft.
2	2 |PU| (2) (9/1 +25%) Drumbear		9 9/1(+25%)																															(2) Drumbear 9/1, Useful winner in novice chase at Limerick last season but below par since. In touch when falling in the Leopardstown Chase last month; others preferred this time.

The lightly-raced SNAKE OIL won a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle and, following a year lay-off, has shaped well in handicap chases over shorter trips including at this venue. The Barry Connell-trained gelding was beaten just over a length at Naas last time and should be suited by this step up in distance. Birchdale landed the valuable Leopardstown Chase off a similar mark two years ago and won a cross country race at Punchestown on his last completed start. Now Where Or When can be fancied on his third to Kemboy in the Bobbyjo Chase last year, while Grandero Bello handles soft ground well but needs to overcome an absence of over ten months. Digby has come up against some useful sorts over fences and now tackles handicap company.

NOW WHERE OR WHEN has had excuses since an excellent third in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse a year ago so could be worth chancing off a tempting mark back in a handicap. Genois and Digby head the dangers.

Preference is for the gradually improving SNAKE OIL, who will appreciate the step up in trip on this ground

1	6 1st (6) (13/2 -63%) Where's Frankie		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(6) Where's Frankie 13/2, Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in January. Good second of 6 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21.3f, heavy, 18/5) 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Player. Up another 1lb for latest but stepping back up in trip will suit and should go close.
2	5 2nd (5) (18/1 -80%) Outside The Door		18 18/1(-80%)																															(5) Outside The Door 18/1, Latest win in chase at Punchestown in June. Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (25f, soft, 12/1) 106 days ago. Not a bad effort in a 3m1f handicap chase at Cheltenham in November; more rain a minus.
3	8 3rd (8) (20/1 -43%) Favori Logique		20 20/1(-43%)																															(8) Favori Logique 20/1, Fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21.3f, heavy, 14/1) 25 days ago.

Vulnerable over 3m last twice though and questionable whether this marathon trip will suit.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 +33%) Temptationinmilan		8 8/1(+33%)																															(4) Temptationinmilan 8/1, Seventh of 12 in handicap chase (16/1) at Musselburgh (31.4f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Well below his best in four starts this season and others preferred.
6th	12 6th (12) (8/1 +50%) Joy Of Life		8 8/1(+50%)																															(12) Joy Of Life 8/1, 12/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap chase at Thurles (18.4f, soft) 101 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Totally out of form but confidence may have been restored by two runs in points.
1	1 |F| (1) (8/1 -60%) Cavalry Master		8 8/1(-60%)																															(1) Cavalry Master 8/1, Six wins from 21 NH runs. Blinkered for 1st time, second of 10 in handicap chase (40/1) at Gowran (20f, heavy) 15 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Can make presence felt. Runner-up over 2m4f at Gowran latest; likely to stay and has a definite chance at his best.
7	7 |F| (7) (10/1 +0%) Old Soul		10 10/1(+0%)																															(7) Old Soul 10/1, Running well unseated rider in handicap chase (12/1) at Navan (24f, heavy) 21 days ago won by Young Dev. Cheekpieces back on. Running well when unseating at Navan; not one to underestimate though if getting the trip.
11	11 |U| (11) (2/1 +71%) Pictures Of Home		2 2/1(+71%)																															(11) Pictures Of Home 2/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in December. Fair winner at 25f over hurdles. Good 5¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Where's Frankie in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (26f, heavy, 7/2) 36 days ago. Respected. Stayed on to good effect behind Where's Frankie at Fairyhouse; extra distance will help.
3	3 |U| (3) (7/1 -75%) Young Dev		7 7/1(-75%)																															(3) Young Dev 7/1, 12/1, much improved when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Navan (24f, heavy) 21 days ago, driven out. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not an obvious type to follow up. Back to form with cheekpieces in a handicap chase at Navan; tongue-tie added; can go well.
9	9 |PU| (9) (33/1 -65%) Fiveaftermidnight		33 33/1(-65%)																															(9) Fiveaftermidnight 33/1, 14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, heavy) 40 days ago, racing lazily. Has work to do. Better judged on her previous second in a veterans' chase at Limerick; each-way chance.

WHERE'S FRANKIE is a real Fairyhouse specialist (his last nine runs have been at the track) gaining all four career wins at that course over three miles and further. The Karl Thornton-trained gelding showed great reserves of stamina when successful over 3m2f on his penultimate outing, with Pictures Of Home about six lengths behind in fourth, and hopefully he can translate his good form to this venue. Young Dev stays well and is suited by testing ground and returned to form when scoring at Navan last month. Cavalry Master has dropped in the ratings and gave some encouragement at Gowran last time, while any support for Outside The Door would be interesting.

CAVALRY MASTER took a big step back in the right direction fitted in this headgear when second at Gowran 2 weeks ago and is potentially on a good mark if building on that. Where's Frankie and Pictures of Home are feared most.

The selection is WHERE'S FRANKIE(nap) who stayed well to win at Fairyhouse before a good run over shorter there last time

Interesting newcomer. sales price doubled from yearling to three-year-old; bred to stay and could play a hand.
2	3 2nd (3) (28/1 -100%) Delta Force		28 28/1(-100%)																															(3) Delta Force 28/1, Fourth of 6 in bumper at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy, 18/1) on NH debut 11 days ago. Likely to improve from her Punchestown debut but may have a little too much to find.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/2 +78%) Baron Noir		5.5 11/2(+78%)																															(1) Baron Noir 11/2, Third foal, half-brother to fair French 17f hurdle winner Apres Bridget.

5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 -82%) Rural Link		10 10/1(-82%)																															(8) Rural Link 10/1, Parish Hall gelding. Closely related to 1m-1¼m winner Cuban Hope. Dam unraced.

6th	9 6th (9) (9/2 +63%) Kilbarry Ace		4.5 9/2(+63%)																															(9) Kilbarry Ace 9/2, Diamond Boy filly.

Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Slate House and fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Touch Kick. Kept on nicely to finish second of 5 starting out at Naas last month.

Just two of these have run and Buckaway Freddie showed some promise when runner-up to Kap De Triomphe in a five-runner event at Naas. It may pay to rely on one of the newcomers and perhaps NITTY GRITTY can make a successful start. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding is from the first crop of Order Of St George and hails from a family of bumper winners including his half-sister Lionnar who scored at the Curragh last summer. Rural Link, a half-brother to Cuban Hope who won five times up to 1m4f, is a rare bumper runner for Jim Bolger while Man Of Action and Kilbarry Ace have eye-catching jockey bookings and are others to note in the preliminaries and the betting market.

BUCKAWAY FREDDIE will come into his own over longer trips tackling obstacles but he still looks up to winning a bumper first judged on a promising runner-up effort at Naas 3 weeks ago. Glynn Brae and Rural Link could be the pick of the newcomers.

This can go to Joseph O'Brien newcomer NITTY GRITTY who looks bred for the part

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.
