13:10 Limerick 21f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (7/1 +0%) Luckinthecity	7 7/1(+0%)	(4) Luckinthecity 7/1, Yard has won the last two runnings of this race. Pulled up in a handicap chase at Thurles latest. Blinkers are applied for the first time. Effective at 2-3m; yet to convince as a chaser, although well treated on novice hurdle form so could bounce back. Poor chasing last time but has the rating to win this if back to form returning to hurdles.
2	2 (2) (9/1 +0%) Ellaat	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Ellaat 9/1, Had too much to do but ran to form when fourth, beaten 15l, in a handicap hurdle at Cork latest and needed the run. Returns off a short break. Effective at 2m and on a fair mark, so should come on for that outing. Just a fair effort in a Cork h'cap hurdle last time; will have to do a fair bit more today.
8	8 (8) (9/4 +0%) Embittered	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(8) Embittered 9/4, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Cork on his latest start. Returns from a short break. Effective at 2-2 1/2m but is an inconsistent veteran, making him difficult to rely on despite his ability. He does have a class edge here dropping in grade. Poor over fences last twice but and did win a similar race at Sligo last year so respected.
3	3 (3) (10/3 +0%) Themanintheboots	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(3) Themanintheboots 10/3, Made too much use of and was comfortably held in a beginners chase at Punchestown last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 2 1/2-3m, but has yet to fire over fences and the mark looks high enough. Was poor over fences last time but has a chance back hurdling if returning to form.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +0%) Cafe Con Leche	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(6) Cafe Con Leche 10/3, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time. Effective over 12-20f. Generally consistent on the Flat but has been inconsistent over hurdles, making his recent profile a mixed one coming into this contest. Out of form lately but rated 115 so has a big chance on these terms if returning to form.
5	5 (5) (22/1 +0%) Toofareastiswest	22 22/1(+0%)	(5) Toofareastiswest 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Tramore on his latest start. Effective at 3m and suited by a sound surface. His form has been going the wrong way of late and he has a bit to prove at present. Hurdle and chase winner but has been pulled-up on last three starts between both spheres.
7	7 (7) (40/1 +0%) Lady Bee Great	40 40/1(+0%)	(7) Lady Bee Great 40/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recently. Effective at 2 1/2m. On a fair mark based on maiden form but has struggled in handicaps and should come on for that latest run. Mostly well beaten in handicaps and has plenty to find with some of these rivals.
1	1 (1) (11/2 +8%) Rocky's Howya	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(1) Rocky's Howya 11/2, Returned to form under a positive ride when dropped in trip and class, finishing a 6l third in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective at 3m with cut. Still a maiden but fairly treated on old form if building on that run. Not a bad effort in a h'cap hurdle last time but wrong at the weights with some of these.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

CAFE CON LECHE is a quirky type who has poor recent form but did score in November. Well suited to the forecast heavy ground, all the selection's wins have come at right-handed courses including twice here and, if he returns to his early-season form, he should figure prominently. Capable 12-year-old chaser Embittered won twice last year and while well held in recent races, he could go well, along with Rocky's Howya.

Though he has been struggling over fences lately, LUCKINTHECITY is well-treated by these weights back over hurdles and can win.

13:10 Limerick 21f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:40 Limerick 21f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (7/2 +0%) Cahirdown Boy	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(1) Cahirdown Boy 7/2, Unseated in a handicap chase at Cork last time when travelling strongly, in front and running on, and would have won. Effective at 2 1/2m, suited by plenty of give, and back in form. Good mark on hurdles and chase form. Looked set to win a chase at Cork last time only to unseat at the last, possible contender.
2	2 (2) (8/1 +0%) The Little Yank	8 8/1(+0%)	(2) The Little Yank 8/1, Travelled well and returned to form down in trip when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Clonmel last time. Effective at 3m and remains well treated on old form. Improved his hurdling strike rate to 5-60 with recent Clonmel win, may find a few too good.
6	6 (6) (9/1 +0%) Grace Faraday	9 9/1(+0%)	(6) Grace Faraday 9/1, Below form up in grade when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Cork last time. Effective at 2m6f-3m and had been in form prior to that latest effort. Stays well, winner and twice placed at this track, not the most consistent sort.
14	14 (14) (9/1 +0%) Likable Chancer	9 9/1(+0%)	(14) Likable Chancer 9/1, Ran to form back over fences when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Tramore last time. Effective at 2m6f-3m, back to form in his last two runs, and his current mark looks fair. 3-34 over fences, veteran's recent form is solid, 0-30 record over hurdles is a negative.
9	9 (9) (9/2 +0%) Without Exception	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(9) Without Exception 9/2, Returned to form when beaten 4l off a 2lb lower mark here last time. Usually held up, effective at 2 1/2m, suited by cut in the ground, and generally consistent. Placed in two of his three starts this season, beaten favourite in between, leading chance.
4	4 (4) (14/1 +0%) Survivors Sister	14 14/1(+0%)	(4) Survivors Sister 14/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle here last time when keeping on and would have placed. Effective at 2m-2m3f, acts on yielding and soft, and should come on for that run if over the spill. Was keeping on when falling at the last here at Christmas, this longer trip could suit.
12	12 (12) (14/1 +0%) Cordal Boy	14 14/1(+0%)	(12) Cordal Boy 14/1, Bled when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Killarney most recently. Returning from a break, effective at 2m4f, and has yet to show anything of note. Two disappointing handicap runs before joining this stable, possibly unwise to rule out.
16	16 (16) (14/1 +0%) Coffeys Forge	14 14/1(+0%)	(16) Coffeys Forge 14/1, Unsuited by a drop in trip when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park last time. Effective at 2m4f-3m, well treated on chase form, and can do better when stepped back up in distance. Second reserve, fifth at Gowran last week, previously second to The Little Yank at Clonmel.
13	13 (13) (16/1 +0%) He Fitz In	16 16/1(+0%)	(13) He Fitz In 16/1, Had every chance but was below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Stays 3m well, acts on good ground but is better suited by give, and has been inconsistent of late. Most recent win was in a chase at this venue in 2024, needs to step up on recent form.
3	3 (3) (18/1 +0%) Aleish Lass	18 18/1(+0%)	(3) Aleish Lass 18/1, Well below form back chasing when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Wexford most recently. Effective at 2m7f and acts on yielding and good ground, but has a bit to prove and may need this. Won over a longer trip at this venue last March, off for six months, can go well fresh.
5	5 (5) (18/1 +0%) Dancing After Dark	18 18/1(+0%)	(5) Dancing After Dark 18/1, Perhaps not suited by the ground when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse most recently. Returning from a long layoff, usually held up, effective at 2m5f-3m, but inconsistent when last seen. Has been off the track for 12 months, only hurdles win came at this venue but over further.
8	8 (8) (20/1 +0%) Walkmethroughit	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Walkmethroughit 20/1, Ran to form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here last time. Now switching to handicaps and looks the type to do better in this company. Has run in decent maiden company, hard to assess, a good run is not out of the question.
10	10 (10) (25/1 +0%) Lispopple	25 25/1(+0%)	(10) Lispopple 25/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recently. Off a short break, effective at 2 1/2m and acts with cut, but form has tailed off. Pulled up on final two 2024 starts after Roscommon win, struggled in sole 2025 start.
17	17 (17) (25/1 +0%) Fortunate Outcome	25 25/1(+0%)	(17) Fortunate Outcome 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m2f, acts on heavy ground, but has yet to show much so far. Third reserve, pulled up twice before sixth at Punchestown yesterday tried in a hood.
7	7 (7) (28/1 +0%) Diamond Island	28 28/1(+0%)	(7) Diamond Island 28/1, Still green and showed little when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recently. Tongue-tie worn for the first time, off a short break, effective at 2 1/2m, with a longer trip a plus. Well exposed in points, weak form in maiden hurdle, tongue-tie tried, hard to make a case.
15	15 (15) (33/1 +0%) Mister Rockefeller	33 33/1(+0%)	(15) Mister Rockefeller 33/1, Made too much use of up in trip and did not stay when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time. Has yet to show anything in either code. First reserve, gave an improved display at Clonmel, well held by The Little Yank.
11	11 (11) (50/1 +0%) Kofino	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) Kofino 50/1, Still green and made mistakes when finishing down the field on his handicap debut in a hurdle here last time. Effective at 2m on heavy ground, inconsistent in a short career and must bounce back. Big price when last of 15 over 2m at this venue in his first handicap, up against it.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

WITHOUT EXCEPTION ran well in a higher-grade handicap here over Christmas and is ideally suited by conditions. A heavy-ground winner last February, he disappointed at Punchestown in November but performed well for third on his latest start and both the fourth and fifth-placed horses have scored subsequently. Veteran Cahirdown Boy was an unlucky loser at Cork and is noted along with The Little Yank.

Worthwhile form is in short supply here, but WITHOUT EXCEPTION appeals with the form of last month's course third boosted by the fourth

13:40 Limerick 21f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:14 Limerick 15f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (Evens +0%) Saveforarainyday	0 Evens(+0%)	(9) Saveforarainyday Evens, Improved for debut experience when fourth, beaten 12l, in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time. A hood is worn for the first time; effective at 2m and can do much better with further progress. Her two maiden hurdle runs have been in decent company, this looks like a good opportunity.
5	5 (5) (5/2 +0%) Likealightswitch	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(5) Likealightswitch 5/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy and good ground, but still has a bit to find at this level. Placed in four of her six hurdle starts, took a step in the right direction at Clonmel.
3	3 (3) (8/1 +0%) Jennyfromtheblock	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Jennyfromtheblock 8/1, Improved when winning a maiden point at Dromahane by 3l last time. Returning from a long layoff, with a tongue-tie worn for the first time; a point winner who is worth a market check on her rules debut. Promising for Ian McCarthy in points last season, interesting for a top local trainer now.
8	8 (8) (14/1 +0%) Musique Des Champs	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Musique Des Champs 14/1, Ran to form when well beaten in a mares' bumper here latest. Effective at 2m on good ground and consistent in bumpers, with the possibility of having more to offer now switching to hurdles. Placed in a bumper in Britain, needs to step up on Irish bumper form, has changed stable.
10	10 (10) (22/1 +0%) Success Mode	22 22/1(+0%)	(10) Success Mode 22/1, Showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork, her only start to date. Effective at 2m but is likely to need more time before reaching her potential. Had over half the field behind her on debut at Cork, will probably need more experience.
12	12 (12) (25/1 +0%) Unquite Dreams	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Unquite Dreams 25/1, Outpaced on a modest debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper at Cork on her only start. May want a bit further than 2m in time. Looked raw when running in a bumper at Cork, will benefit from gaining further experience.
6	6 (6) (33/1 +0%) Ma Lumiere	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Ma Lumiere 33/1, Leading Light mare; half-sister to A Different Kind, who was high-class at 20f. Faces a tough enough task on debut. Half-sister to nine-time winner A Different Kind, stable has had a recent maiden winner.
11	11 (11) (33/1 +0%) The Jam Lady	33 33/1(+0%)	(11) The Jam Lady 33/1, Vendangeur mare; dam ran well in a point; faces a tough enough task on debut against more experienced rivals. First foal; dam ran once in a point, out of a 3m hurdle winner, best watched.
4	4 (4) (50/1 +0%) Lake Okeechobee	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Lake Okeechobee 50/1, Green and made mistakes when showing little again, finishing well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Killarney latest. Returning from a break and has plenty to prove on what has been seen so far. Two maiden outings last autumn imply she will need to qualify for a handicap mark.
2	2 (2) (100/1 +0%) Clarin Breeze	100 100/1(+0%)	(2) Clarin Breeze 100/1, Found little when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time. Effective at 2m but has plenty to find on what has been shown so far. Fair debut at Cork in November, two subsequent runs have dented confidence significantly.
7	7 (7) (125/1 +0%) Madam Elle	125 125/1(+0%)	(7) Madam Elle 125/1, Continued in poor form when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recently. A major improvement is needed for her to become competitive. Down the field at massive odds in three maiden hurdle outings, unlikely to make an impact.
1	1 (1) (200/1 +0%) Barrowline	200 200/1(+0%)	(1) Barrowline 200/1, Never in the race when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel most recently. Likely one for longer trips further down the line and may need time before showing her best. 0-6 in points and has shown next to nothing in three starts over hurdles, safe to rule out.
13	13 (13) (8/1 +64%) Louie's Folly	8 8/1(+64%)	(13) Louie's Folly 8/1, Had too much to do when ridden to see out the trip, finishing comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective at 2m and could improve if ridden more positively. Modest on the Flat in Britain, caught the eye on Irish/hurdling debut, open to improvement.

Keen-goer SAVEFORARAINYDAY has been far too enthusiastic in two hurdle runs so far but is capable. From the family of Time For A Run, the selection was beaten only six lengths at Navan in November having pulled very hard and again performed well in a decent Leopardstown maiden over Christmas. Likealightswitch has useful recent form and Jennyfromtheblock, who runs in a tongue-tie, is also interesting.

With Gavin Cromwell's string back in form, this is a suitable opportunity for SAVEFORARAINYDAY to take advantage of a drop in grade.

14:49 Limerick 15f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
10	10 (10) (7/4 +0%) Speculateur	1.75 7/4(+0%)	(10) Speculateur 7/4, Made a very promising debut when second, beaten 6l, in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel and should progress for a top yard. Beaten 6l by a smart-looking Willie Mullins winner on hurdles bow; can improve; player.
1	1 (1) (8/1 +0%) Bergamasquo	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Bergamasquo 8/1, Took a step back from a promising debut when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time. Effective at 2m but a bounce back is required. Below form last time but stable came back to form lately so could bounce back.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +0%) Powerful Paddy	10 10/1(+0%)	(8) Powerful Paddy 10/1, Was outclassed when comfortably held in a bumper at Punchestown last time but consistent in that sphere prior to that; could be a threat if fit for his hurdle debut. Capable of running well but looks to be the yard's second-string on jockey bookings.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +0%) Premier Rogue	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Premier Rogue 12/1, Ran below debut form when a 56l third in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse latest, but bumper form suggests more to come over hurdles. Placed in two bumpers and two maiden hurdles so needs to find more.
12	12 (12) (16/1 +0%) Tiger Twins	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Tiger Twins 16/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 7l, in a maiden hurdle here last time, but the drop back in trip may not be ideal. Solid efforts in maiden hurdles at Down Royal and at this track; shouldn't be far away.
6	6 (6) (40/1 +0%) Marian Avenue	40 40/1(+0%)	(6) Marian Avenue 40/1, Showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Tramore and should improve for that initial experience. Beaten a long way in a Tramore maiden hurdle on debut; best to look elsewhere.
2	2 (2) (200/1 +0%) Bohemian Bay	200 200/1(+0%)	(2) Bohemian Bay 200/1, Produced a modest effort when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel latest. Showed minor promise in points but may need more time and further than 2m over hurdles. Well beaten in two maiden hurdles including over C&D; look elsewhere.
5	5 (5) (250/1 +0%) Lucky Crystal	250 250/1(+0%)	(5) Lucky Crystal 250/1, Has yet to show any real signs of ability in his runs so far and is difficult to support on what he has achieved to date. Tailed-off in two maiden hurdles, including over C&D last time; can't be fancied.
4	4 (4) (4/5 +27%) Laurets D'estruval	0.8 4/5(+27%)	(4) Laurets D'estruval 4/5, The yard has won four of the last five runnings of this race. Finished second, beaten 4 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle here latest and should come on for that run for top connections having shown promise in France. Solid start to Irish career when runner-up over C&D; should have improved; major player.
3	3 (3) (20/1 -11%) How's The Head	20 20/1(-11%)	(3) How's The Head 20/1, Improved from debut when fourth, beaten 11l, in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time. Returns from a short break and is effective from 2m to 2m3f. Placed in maiden hurdles the last twice; however, he faces some tougher opposition today.
11	11 (11) (66/1 -32%) Thisain'tthat	66 66/1(-32%)	(11) Thisain'tthat 66/1, A Vendangeur gelding and half-brother to Feivel, who was very useful over 22f, and looks an unlikely winner on debut. Decent damline but unsold for E6,000 as a foal; best watched on debut.
7	7 (7) (150/1 +25%) Nukie's Artic	150 150/1(+25%)	(7) Nukie's Artic 150/1, Appeared not to stay when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recently and returns from a long layoff. Well behind in three maiden hurdles so can't be fancied on return.

State Man won the 2022 renewal of this race and his stablemate LAURETS D'ESTRUVAL can do the business this time having performed well here over Christmas. The selection is well suited to heavy ground and can get the better of winning point-to-pointer Speculateur, who has also been running well on testing ground. Premier Rouge and Bergamasquo are others to bear in mind.

With improvement to come from his fine Irish debut over C&D last time and with his yard in better form, LAURETS D'ESTRUVAL can score.

15:24 Limerick 15f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (3/1 +0%) Big Dee	3 3/1(+0%)	(2) Big Dee 3/1, Travelled well and improved when dropping in class on handicap debut, finishing 4 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle here on his most recent run. Effective at 2m, acts with cut, with more to come judged on bumper form. Useful form in bumpers in 2023, third over C&D suggests he is getting the hang of things.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +0%) Marelly	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Marelly 5/1, Went clear and held on when improving on recent form under an aggressive ride to land a handicap by a neck off a 7lb lower mark at Gowran Park last time. Effective at 2m, needs give, back in form and remains well treated on old efforts. Carries a fixed 7lb penalty for last week's front-running win at Gowran, claim will help.
5	5 (5) (9/1 +0%) Le Fanu	9 9/1(+0%)	(5) Le Fanu 9/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective over 2m to 2 1/2m and noted as running into form this season. Best form at this venue, third here in November, fifth last time, needs to find extra.
9	9 (9) (9/2 +0%) Uptaurintop	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(9) Uptaurintop 9/2, Made mistakes but travelled well and improved on handicap debut when beaten a short-neck off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2m3f, acts with cut, and in good form with that run since franked emphatically. Gave a much-improved display when going close over 2m3f here last time, worth considering.
7	7 (7) (10/1 +0%) Finnicky Filly	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Finnicky Filly 10/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Clonmel on her penultimate start. Outpaced and unsuited by the way the race developed when never threatening and pulled up latest; usually held up, effective at 2m on heavy or good ground, but inconsistent. Beat Wild Wild Win at Clonmel early last month, pulled up at same venue since, unreliable.
13	13 (13) (11/2 +0%) Wild Wild Wind	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(13) Wild Wild Wind 11/2, Raced wide, was a bit below form and conceded first run when finishing 24l third in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel most recently. Effective at 2m; still a maiden but in fair form. Two Clonmel efforts give her a good chance of exploiting a very modest handicap mark.
10	10 (10) (12/1 +0%) Siul Molly Siul	12 12/1(+0%)	(10) Siul Molly Siul 12/1, Ran to current form when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel on her latest start. Returning off a short break; effective at 2 1/2m, suited by cut, but an inconsistent maiden. 0-13 over hurdles, not much of note apart from a long-priced second at Clonmel last winter.
3	3 (3) (14/1 +0%) Opposite Ends	14 14/1(+0%)	(3) Opposite Ends 14/1, One pace when departing late and beaten on his latest start. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; still early days and could bounce back when returned to quicker conditions. Not a bad run at Thurles three starts ago, labouring when brought down at Down Royal.
6	6 (6) (20/1 +0%) Donnrua Dream	20 20/1(+0%)	(6) Donnrua Dream 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse on his latest start. Blinkers are applied for the first time; suited by plenty of cut but described as regressive. 2-15 over hurdles, last success was in March 2022, no signs of ending the drought.
11	11 (11) (20/1 +0%) La Tene	20 20/1(+0%)	(11) La Tene 20/1, Still green and never travelled when outclassed and finishing down the field in an auction hurdle at Thurles most recently, needing the run. Effective at 2m and acts on soft ground; on a fair mark on maiden form but needs to prove ability remains after a long lay-off. Tailed off at Thurles when running for the first time in two years, some promise in 2024.
8	8 (8) (25/1 +0%) Glens Sensation	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Glens Sensation 25/1, Possibly unsuited by soft ground when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Effective over 2m to 2 1/2m and acts on good ground, though current form is poor. Point winner in 2023; yet to show signs of winning potential in eight starts over hurdles.
12	12 (12) (25/1 +0%) Mudslide Molly	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Mudslide Molly 25/1, Never in the race when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas on her most recent start. Tongue-tie is applied for the first time; usually held up, acts with cut, and yet to show anything. Hard to discern any potential, starts in handicaps from a low base, tongue-tie may help.
4	4 (4) (40/1 +0%) Falcon Park	40 40/1(+0%)	(4) Falcon Park 40/1, Back up in trip and may not have stayed when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse most recently. Suited by 2m with cut, with the handicapper relenting but current form is poor. Has been struggling to find his best form since joining this yard, hard to make a case.

BIG DEE won a Down Royal bumper in November 2023 and took a big step forward on his handicap hurdle debut when third over C&D last time. The Eoin McCarthy-trained gelding had the measure of Marelly (seventh) and that rival now carries a 7lb penalty having won at Gowran Park last week. Uptaurintop had Le Fanu and Donnrua Dream in behind when narrowly beaten over 2m3f here last month and is noted, while Finnicky Filly beat Wild Wild Wind on her penultimate start at Clonmel but has since disappointed at the same venue.

A third placing over C&D at Christmas gives rise to hope that BIG DEE (nap) can return to something like the form he showed in bumpers

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (4/1 +0%) Themanintheanorak	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Themanintheanorak 4/1, Ran to form on handicap debut when second, beaten 8 1/2l, in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest. Returns after a short break, is effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on any ground, and is in fair form with an obvious chance from a fair mark. Was 2nd on h'cap debut at Fairyhouse last time over 2m4f; this trip should be fine; chance.
5	5 (5) (7/4 +0%) Lenjoleur De Palma	1.75 7/4(+0%)	(5) Lenjoleur De Palma 7/4, Scored by 8l off a 13lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Travelled well and improved again when just out-battled late by a strong stayer, beaten 2l off 102 last time, and is 4lb higher now but remains progressive for his new yard. C&D winner nearly defied a 10lb rise back here; up another 3lb but greatly respected.
2	2 (2) (9/1 +0%) River Vale	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) River Vale 9/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark at Naas on his penultimate start. Ran to form when eighth, beaten 15l, off 109 last time and is 1lb lower here, being effective over 2-3m and in good form. Hurdle and chase winner; below form over C&D last time and has to rebound.
4	4 (4) (10/3 +0%) Is Charlie Around	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(4) Is Charlie Around 10/3, Improved back down in trip when beaten 3 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2 1/2m, acts with cut, and is running into form this term from a good mark on maiden efforts. Second over C&D last time; the winner let the form down since but could still go well.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +0%) Dollar Nolimit	12 12/1(+0%)	(3) Dollar Nolimit 12/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at 2-2 1/2m and acts on heavy or yielding ground, but although well treated on old efforts, he needs to prove his ability remains after a lay-off. Ran well enough at Fairyhouse on return but looked beaten when falling back there since.
7	7 (7) (20/1 +0%) Rubi Tuesday	20 20/1(+0%)	(7) Rubi Tuesday 20/1, Outpaced but ran to form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy ground, but needs more to figure in handicaps and may want further than this trip. Likely to do better in this grade but looks the second-string for yard.
8	8 (8) (28/1 +0%) Springboard	28 28/1(+0%)	(8) Springboard 28/1, Made too much use of and ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Killarney last time. Absent for a very lengthy period, he is effective at 2-2 1/2m, acts on good ground, and has been in good form since going handicapping. Some respectable runs in handicaps in 2024 but can only be watched on return.
6	6 (6) (11/2 +21%) Kelly's Cosmos	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(6) Kelly's Cosmos 11/2, Improved when a 7l third in a handicap hurdle here on his most recent run. Effective over 2m-2m4f on a sound surface, his mark is easing and he has a bigger effort in him. Not beaten far over C&D last time; up 1lb but there could be more to come and respected.

LENJOLEUR DE PALMA has progressed since switching yards in September. Three C&D efforts have yielded two placed efforts and a comprehensive victory, which came in November. He found only one too strong in a valuable Listed handicap at the Christmas Festival last time and Eric McNamara's charge is fancied to record a second career win. Is Charlie Around enters calculations having finished second to an improver here latest, while Kelly's Cosmos (third) had the measure of Naas winner River Vale (eighth) over track and trip last month.

Only beaten 1.75l in a Listed hurdle over C&D last time, LENJOLEUR DE PALMA had previously won here and can defy a further 3lb rise.

8	8 (8) (2/1 +0%) Gillane	2 2/1(+0%)	(8) Gillane 2/1, Improved from his debut when second, beaten 6 1/2l, in a bumper at Navan latest. Back from a short break and effective at 2m with cut. Has shown promise over hurdles and in bumpers and should be winning soon. Second to subsequent £300,000 purchase Charismatic Kid at Navan, stable back in form.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +0%) Burning Ability	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Burning Ability 4/1, Improved up in trip when second, beaten 4 1/4l, in an auction hurdle here latest. Effective at 2m–2m3f and acts on yielding and heavy ground. Has been in good form in bumpers and over hurdles and remains competitive. Second in a maiden hurdle at this venue, has an edge over Of Land And Sea on bumper form.
9	9 (9) (4/1 +0%) Jury Time	4 4/1(+0%)	(9) Jury Time 4/1, Travelled well when making a very promising debut, finishing a 1/2l third in a mares' bumper here on her most recent run. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy ground. A point winner who should have more to offer. Point winner, beaten by two outsiders in a C&D bumper in testing conditions a month ago.
1	1 (1) (5/1 +0%) Hezekiah Moscow	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Hezekiah Moscow 5/1, The yard won this race last year. Fell in a maiden point at Oldcastle on his latest start when would've placed and is returning from a long layoff. Showed promise in a point and has since joined a top yard. Jumping let him down when favourite on only point-to-point start, likely contender.
5	5 (5) (11/1 +0%) King Idaho	11 11/1(+0%)	(5) King Idaho 11/1, Outpaced but made a promising debut when beaten 9l in an auction bumper at Naas. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy ground. Should improve for that initial experience. Finished behind Burning Ability and Of Land And Sea at Naas so needs to raise his game.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +0%) Of Land And Sea	12 12/1(+0%)	(2) Of Land And Sea 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 5l in an auction bumper at Naas last time. Effective at 2m and acts on heavy and good ground.

The form of that point win looks nothing special. Looked useful when winning a point, form has not worked out, long absence to overcome.
7	7 (7) (20/1 +0%) Desmond George	20 20/1(+0%)	(7) Desmond George 20/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 15l, in a 4yo bumper at Navan latest. Returning from a break and effective at 2m. In fair form and may want further than 2m in time. Ran prominently for a long way at Navan last September, rivals with recent form preferred.
3	3 (3) (33/1 +0%) Prince Malinas	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Prince Malinas 33/1, 23,000 euros Malinas gelding; half-brother to Polly's Fortune, high-class at 19f; yard not known for rules runners. Half-brother to Willie Mullins-trained bumper winner Polly's Fortune, makes debut at seven.

GILLANE showed promise for Kevin O'Donnell between the flags and under Rules and may now open his account having made the switch to Gavin Cromwell recently. The selection was a creditable fifth behind the smart Thedeviluno in a Gowran maiden hurdle before beating all bar Charismatic Kid in a bumper at Navan. Point-to-point winner Jury Time rates an obvious threat after finishing a close third here at the Christmas Festival, while Burning Ability has the edge on both Of Land And Sea and King Idaho judged on last month's Naas effort. Hezekiah Moscow was let down by his jumping in a point-to-point, but it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour on Rules debut.

A recent addition to the Cromwell team, GILLANE has good credentials on hurdles form and last month's second in a Navan bumper

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.
