MR PERCY slammed a 150-rated hurdler by seven lengths in a 1m6f maiden at Gowran Park last month and was a warm order for his hurdling debut at the same venue. In front at a steady pace, he put the brakes on at the first and unseated his rider after ducking left. Joseph O'Brien's charge has to be afforded another chance given his level of ability. Placed in a French bumper, Kazakh D'arthel had a couple of these behind when second on his Irish debut at Listowel, although Korea, who made a bad mistake two out, is likely to fare better on her second start for Willie Mullins. Banana Three and Rapparee Champ have solid placed form and make each-way appeal.

KOREA could be all the sharper with last month's Listowel run behind her and can leave that bare form behind and strike at the second time of asking for Willie Mullins. Banana Three and Rapparee Champ have the best hurdle form, while promising Flat winner Mr Percy failed to get beyond the first on his recent hurdle debut but the fact he went off at 2/5 suggests good things were expected.

KAZAKH D'ARTHEL travelled well throughout when second at Listowel on hurdling debut and is capable of going one better

IAMAGETAWAY ran well in a couple of decent bumpers last winter and shaped like he needed the outing when fifth in another useful contest at Sligo in July. Fifth on his hurdling debut at Wexford the following month, he is now tried in a tongue-tie and goes up in trip and down in grade in this ordinary contest. Formerly with Gordon Elliott, Yorkshire Escape was returning from 11 months off when fifth in a similar contest at Tramore and is entitled to improve for the run. Spinola Bay ran OK over 2m at Tramore last week and may be suited by stepping up in trip, while Nells Choice was well supported when returning to form at Fairyhouse and gets first-time cheekpieces.

SPINOLA BAY took a step forward when fifth at Tramore last week and, with the longer trip expected to suit based on his pedigree, he could well progress again and open his account. The dangers are headed by standard-settler Nells Choice and Iamagetaway, who is likely to improve on his opening effort in this sphere at Wexford.

NELLS CHOICE was backed off the boards when fourth at Fairyhouse last Saturday and this race won't take much winning

A 10lb penalty for her Grade 3 victory at Leopardstown last Christmas and the fact that she has missed a couple of recent Flat engagements, either of which would have been a nice pipe-opener, means that JETARA may be somewhat vulnerable but her Grade 1 form in the spring still makes her difficult to oppose. Jessica Harrington's six-year-old ran with great credit three times in a row at the highest level last term and rounded off the campaign when chasing home star novice Ballyburn at the Punchestown Festival. Progressive handicapper Champella is race-fit, which may give her an edge over Feet Of A Dancer, absent since May, and last year's runner-up Riviere D'etel, who is more effective over fences.

CHAMPELLA and Feet of A Dancer could be the pair to concentrate on, with marginal preference for the former who looked better than ever when making every post a winning one in a Listowel handicap three weeks ago. Feet of A Dancer made it 4-8 over hurdles at Wexford on her latest start in May and she will be a big danger if coping with this step up in trip. Jetara brings top-level form to the table and she is bound to be involved, despite carrying a penalty.

Proven over this far, unlike some of her main rivals, JETARA can score on seasonal debut despite missing a prep run.

She has yet to race right-handed, and this will be her first time out of mares-only company, but WORLD OF FORTUNES has impressed in two starts over hurdles and gets the vote to bring up a hat-trick. Liam Kenny's mare returned from a layoff to win her maiden over 3m at Wexford in August and followed up in equally emphatic style at Listowel. Any easing of the ground is unlikely to detract from her chance. Ninth Titan had stablemate Just For Love a long way behind when runner-up in a decent heat at Galway and didn't handle the track when well beaten at Kilbeggan last time. Cobra Queen, progressive in handicaps, merits respect off her new mark of 120.

WORLD OF FORTUNES has made a most promising start to her career over hurdles and is fancied to complete the hat-trick with further improvement on the cards. The Willie Mullins-trained pair Ninth Titan and Just For Love are feared most in that order.

Preference is for the likeable mare WORLD OF FORTUNES who has returned in fine fettle this year and should have more to give

LUIMNEACH has two victories to his name and was runner-up to a tough sort at Sligo in August on his second run back from a long absence. He drops back from 2m4f, but has winning form over this distance. Brilliant Light won his maiden hurdle on good ground, but showed he could handle testing conditions when a creditable third in a Listowel handicap last month. He drops in trip and grade and looks a danger. A winner at Tipperary in the spring, Morepowertoya returned to form after a few moderate efforts when fourth at Gowran while Slip Jig, a maiden winner at Tipperary when last seen in May, and useful Flat performer Hutton Glen are handicap debutants to note.

Having returned to form when fourth at Gowran recently, MOREPOWERTOY could be the answer. Luimneach went close on his second start since returning from well over a year off at Sligo and he is feared most ahead of Brilliant Light, who is unexposed in this sphere and was a good third at Listowel last time. Lilian Bland will have an each-way chance if she puts her best foot forward.

BRILLIANT LIGHT (nap) proved he can go on any ground when third in a hot Listowel handicap latest and is effectively 5lb lower here

DIVILABOTHER has given the impression on several occasions this year that he has a handicap of this nature in him and first-time cheekpieces might help Thomas Coyle's grey to make the breakthrough. The Markaz gelding split two well-handicapped mares when runner-up at Sligo in July and, after a disappointing run when favourite at Kilbeggan, was less than a length behind a subsequent Listowel Festival winner when a staying-on third at Galway last month. Locally-trained contender Hees Dynamite has shown improvement lately and has been placed in his last two starts over a little bit further, while Portarlington has shown glimpses of ability and may improve for stepping up in trip on his first start for a shrewd yard.

Several to consider in this open-looking handicap. DIVILABOTHER has yet to get his head in front but it's still early days for this 6-y-o and he tops the list in first-time cheekpieces on the back of a solid third in a big-field Galway handicap last month. A Nod To Getaway, Hees Dynamite and Maggie Walsh all arrive here on the back of good efforts in defeat, too, and they are feared most in order of preference.

HARVEYSHONOR has shaped with promise in his first two handicaps, the ground will suit and he should be on the premises

First-time blinkers seemed to have a positive impact on JIMLI'S CAVE when he made the breakthrough over a little bit further at Downpatrick last week. The six-year-old has placed form at up to 3m1f and Donagh Meyler made good use of his stamina on the final circuit. Now 7lb higher, connections will be hoping that the headgear works again, although any deterioration in the ground would be a concern. The form of Lispopple's soft-ground win at Roscommon was franked when the runner-up was touched off next time, while Le Grand Vert has been in good form over fences and may have found the race coming too soon when disappointing over hurdles two starts back.

LISOPPLE improved from out of the blue to score at Roscommon last time but, based on the way he powered away, he's worth a chance to defy a rise. Ranger Billy is an obvious danger and Le Grand Vert is of interest returning to the smaller obstacles.

TULLYHOGUE FORT was beaten over an inadequate trip at Galway last time but this test will suit better and he has run well here before.

SWITCH FROM DIESEL had smart form for Seamus Fahey last season and can strike on seasonal debut for new trainer Ross O'Sullivan. The homebred daughter of Yeats was a winner just over a year ago at Tipperary and ran a cracker against smart geldings at Leopardstown last Christmas before finishing second in a Grade 2 mares' contest at the same venue in February. Korinthia had Amboyna over three lengths back in third when winning on debut at Wexford in August and is open to improvement. The consistent Amboyna was impressive in a weak contest at Tramore, while Cailin Deas was tailed off in Listed company last time having finished third to a pair of subsequent winners at Galway.

KORINTHIA represents a top yard and made a winning debut in comfortable fashion a couple of months ago, so she's likely to go in again at the possible expense of Switch From Diesel, who has achieved a good level of form. Amboyna is also considered.

KORINTHIA beat Amboyna by 3.5l at Wexford in August and she can uphold that form. She is narrowly preferred in an interesting race

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.

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.
