1	6 1st (6) (16/1 -78%) Bushmans Pass		16 16/1(-78%)																															(6) Bushmans Pass 16/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 250/1, ninth of 11 in novice chase at Punchestown (18.9f, soft) 34 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Switch to handicaps likely to bring about better but hard push to suggest it will suffice.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 +50%) Rolly Bowley Boy		2.75 11/4(+50%)																															(1) Rolly Bowley Boy 11/4, 11/2 and visored for 1st time, good third of 13 in handicap chase at this course (17.7f, heavy) 3 days ago. Back up in trip. Not taken lightly. Running consistently well and has winning form on heavy conditions, lots to like.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -100%) Baldur's Gate		5 5/1(-100%)																															(2) Baldur's Gate 5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. 11/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (24.7f, soft) 43 days ago, kept up to work. Can make presence felt. Impressive at Punchestown and likely to make a bold bid to overcome his 8lb hike.
4	11 4th (11) (28/1 +44%) Starlight Cato		28 28/1(+44%)																															(11) Starlight Cato 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in novice chase (200/1) at Thurles (22f, soft) 36 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Not a whole lot to show for his efforts so far and makes very little appeal.
5th	9 5th (9) (15/2 +25%) Da Big Fella		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(9) Da Big Fella 15/2, One win from 23 NH runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (24.7f, soft) 43 days ago. Valid excuse for Punchestown lapse (lost a shoe), fine second prior to that.
6th	10 6th (10) (8/1 +50%) Seangoell		8 8/1(+50%)																															(10) Seangoell 8/1, One win from 28 NH runs. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, eighteenth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy) 17 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Needs to step up another couple of gears to worry the best of these.
3	3 |U| (3) (5/1 +75%) Dr Val		5 5/1(+75%)																															(3) Dr Val 5/1, Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Punchestown (24.4f, soft) 33 days ago. Makes chase debut and not discounted. Lack of experience at this game a worry, probably a tall order to be expected to collect.
7	7 |PU| (7) (7/1 -27%) Lady Kate		7 7/1(-27%)																															(7) Lady Kate 7/1, 22/1, good second of 14 in handicap chase at Thurles (25f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Shortlisted. Fired a real warning sign when hitting the crossbar on recent handicap debut, feared.
8	8 |PU| (8) (10/1 +60%) Soldier Of Honour		10 10/1(+60%)																															(8) Soldier Of Honour 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice chase (200/1) at Thurles (22f, soft) 36 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap chase debut. Handicap debutant now tried in cheekpieces but appears to have his work cut out.
13	13 |PU| (13) (18/1 +10%) Will It Be You		18 18/1(+10%)																															(13) Will It Be You 18/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Tramore (21f, soft) 31 days ago, behind when pulled up before last. Makes chase debut. More miss than hit over hurdles and will do well to be involved here on chasing debut.
12	12 |PU| (12) (33/1 +0%) Mrs Watson		33 33/1(+0%)																															(12) Mrs Watson 33/1, 20/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (24f, heavy) 68 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Comes here with plenty of questions to answer and is readily opposed.

LTO Selection:

EVIES VLADIMIR fairly rattled home for second over 2m4f at Down Royal on Tuesday having had a lot to do early in the straight. It has to be significant that Gavin Cromwell turns him out again so soon and this longer trip should suit the six-year-old who returned from a long absence to win on handicap debut at Clonmel last month. Rolly Bowley Boy was also in action on Tuesday when placed over a shorter distance at this venue. He's another that will be suited by a greater emphasis on stamina but giving over a stone to the selection may be beyond him. Baldur's Gate comes back in trip after a decisive win over 3m at Punchestown and has to enter calculations, while Da Big Fella pulled a shoe when disappointing behind Baldur's Gate but his Galway second the time before was franked when the winner followed up at Cheltenham.

EVIES VLADIMIR is progressing well over fences and weighted to resume winning ways on the back of his good Down Royal second. Punchestown scorer Baldur's Gate is feared most ahead of in-form duo Rolly Bowley Boy and Lady Kate.

Rolly Bowley Boy and Baldur's Gate look destined to play a big part but DA BIG FELLA has a handy weight and is preferred

Below form eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 22/1) 102 days ago. Hung and jumped right when beaten 20l on handicap debut in the Lartigue; ground concerns.

5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 -117%) Paradise Lost		6.5 13/2(-117%)																															(6) Paradise Lost 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Good second of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft, 14/1) 29 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs considering. Runner-up in three maidens including behind Ludus over C&D and at Thurles last month.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +0%) Morning Soldier		16 16/1(+0%)																															(3) Morning Soldier 16/1, 25/1, respectable tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 26 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Maiden was runner-up to Sir Allen at Naas in February; hasn't built on that.
7th	5 7th (5) (17/2 -183%) Whimsy		8.5 17/2(-183%)																															(5) Whimsy 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Good second of 6 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, heavy, 14/1) 17 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Placed behind Mullins-trained winners all starts; just behind Paradise Lost at Thurles.
8th	2 8th (2) (5/1 -43%) Media Naranja		5 5/1(-43%)																															(2) Media Naranja 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in May. 11/1, creditable fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 26 days ago. Shortlisted.

9th	10 9th (10) (12/1 -20%) Ossie's Lodge		12 12/1(-20%)																															(10) Ossie's Lodge 12/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Respectable eighth of 26 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 20 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should progress. Bumper winner has run nice races at big odds in maidens and looks to be on a feasible mark.
8	8 |F| (8) (40/1 -100%) Action Motion		40 40/1(-100%)																															(8) Action Motion 40/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, first run since leaving Miss Shauna Larkin when fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, heavy, 50/1) 17 days ago. Maiden winner down the field in the Fred Winter and well held since; held by Whimsy.

LTO Selection:

---

YOUR HONOR should be okay on the heavy ground and won his maiden here in the spring. He didn't get home over 2m4f when sixth at Navan last time and coming back in trip should help. The selection was third to Media Naranja at Ballinrobe in May but is considerably better off at the weights with that rival on this occasion. Media Naranja was a creditable fifth in a strong all-aged handicap at Fairyhouse last time and still merits plenty of respect for top connections. Paradise Lost and Whimsy are closely matched on the basis of a clash at Thurles last month and both enter handicap company for the first time. Ossie's Lodge is a bumper winner who looks to have been allotted a fair opening mark and how he goes in the market will be interesting.

A few with chances but LUMINOUS LIGHT is weighted to go close on the back of his good Fairyhouse novice third so gets the vote. Morning Soldier is another who can have a say on these terms, while both Whimsy and Ossie's Lodge can make their mark with improvement on the cards.

He'll handle the ground and coming back from 2m4f will suit, so a chance is taken with course winner YOUR HONOR; note Ossie's Lodge

1	7 1st (7) (14/1 +30%) Starman		14 14/1(+30%)																															(7) Starman 14/1, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Clonmel in September. 40/1, seventeenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 27 days ago. Looks competitive on form if shrugging off latest effort. Won 2m4f claimer on testing ground at Clonmel; nearly struck off this mark in novice h'cap.
2	1 2nd (1) (Evens +56%) Splashing Out		0 Evens(+56%)																															(1) Splashing Out Evens, Fairly useful hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy, 18/5) 38 days ago, easily. Expected to be bang there. Second in this last year; off the mark on the inner track here last month; proven on heavy.

Creditable 10¼ lengths third of 6 to What's Up Darling in For Auction Novices' Hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 10/3) 41 days ago. Likely to improve. C&D maiden winner; 10l third against geldings in slowly-run Navan Grade 3 wasn't a bad run.
5	5 |F| (5) (14/1 +13%) Ages Of Man		14 14/1(+13%)																															(5) Ages Of Man 14/1, Fair hurdler. 28/1 and blinkered for 1st time, unseated rider start in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) on IRE flat debut 21 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Others more persuasive. Maiden's best run was when second of 19 (led) in Fairyhouse handicap back in the spring.

LTO Selection:

---

ASK THE BOOKIE competes from an effective mark of 108 in this rated contest and may have a bit of leeway from that initial perch. Runner-up in a 2m4f maiden at Cork last year, the six-year-old has run two creditable races on winter ground this term including when third on the inner track here last month. Eoin Griffin was amongst the winners at Leopardstown on Wednesday and Splashing Out goes well on heavy ground at Limerick, She was second in this race last year and won a mares handicap in good style on the inner track when last seen. She's A Fine Wine has a possible class edge after finishing third in a Grade 3 at Navan and her maiden win came over C&D in October. She just needs to settle better than she did at Navan to enable her to get home on heavy ground here.

SPLASHING OUT took a C&D handicap in great style last time out and looks the way to go back in maiden company. C&D winner She's A Fine Wine appeals as a big threat though, with Rockview Consort and Starman also in the picture.

An effective mark of 108 may afford a bit of leeway to ASK THE BOOKIE who has run been running well and will handle the ground

LTO Selection:

---

Paul Nolan landed a maiden hurdle on the first day of Limerick's Christmas meeting and ICEBERG THEORY may be another winner for the Enniscorthy trainer. The Flemensfirth gelding has two solid maiden runs in the book and handled testing ground well when runner-up over a similar trip at Wexford. Eric McNamara has had a couple of horses run really well this week and Thegraveyardbookie is interesting on hurdling debut. He has shown ability in bumpers and finished ahead of the selection's Wexford conqueror in a Galway contest that has produced hurdle winners. Magic Sadler is a point-to-point winner on heavy ground who has run creditably on his first two starts over hurdles. He'll handle conditions and may not be far away.

ICEBERG THEORY ran well when runner-up at Wexford last time and, in this slightly lesser race, a performance of similar merit would be enough for him to go in again. On Lovers Walk is a big threat if he can put a poor run behind him and Thegraveyardbookie could feature on hurdling bow.

After two solid runs in maidens, including when second on heavy ground at Wexford, ICEBERG THEORY looks the one to beat

MARCIANO has shown enough in three starts to merit each-way support in a race where compelling form is thin on the ground. His opening fifth on heavy ground at Clonmel has been well franked and on his next start in Ballinrobe he ran out when leading. His subsequent fourth in Killarney wasn't a bad effort. His trainer, Edward O'Grady, saddled a winner for owner JP McManus at Leopardstown on Tuesday. Day's A Dawning has been unplaced in three bumpers, but represents Gordon Elliott's powerful stable and could improve on hurdling debut. Jeronimo De L'ouch put in an improved display in fourth at Naas and could build upon that while Caughtinaspell's fourth place in Clonmel gives her a chance.

BALALLY PARK improved when fourth in a stronger contest at Wexford and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account if he's in the same form. Caughtinaspell and Marciano look the main dangers although Ashdale Flyer would merit strong consideration if she got in (currently first reserve).

He wasn't mapped in a better maiden last time but his previous fourth on the inner track here gives MIDWEEK VOICES a decent chance

1	7 1st (7) (9/1 +36%) Another Ocana		9 9/1(+36%)																															(7) Another Ocana 9/1, 8/1, bit below form sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (21f, heavy) 38 days ago. Others more persuasive. More needed but on the plus side, he does seem to save some of his best for here.
2	12 2nd (12) (22/1 +56%) I'm For Home		22 22/1(+56%)																															(12) I'm For Home 22/1, 28/1, creditable tenth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy) 17 days ago. Back down in trip. Engaged 1.30 here Thursday. Not disgraced at Punchestown latest considering his jumping left a little to be desired.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 -180%) Young Fitzy		14 14/1(-180%)																															(6) Young Fitzy 14/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 17 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Shortlist material. In decent spirits lately and stays the trip well but a shade vulnerable to less exposed.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +0%) Imbolc		16 16/1(+0%)																															(9) Imbolc 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 15 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Engaged 1.30 here Thursday. Not a great deal of miles on the clock over hurdles but has it to prove.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/2 -29%) St Denis's Well		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(5) St Denis's Well 9/2, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Creditable fourth of 19 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Down Royal (17f, soft) 3 days ago. Can give a good account. Busy few days but on form and entitled to be in the shake up, must be respected.
6th	10 6th (10) (9/1 +25%) The Flying Donkey		9 9/1(+25%)																															(10) The Flying Donkey 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Tramore (21f, soft) 31 days ago. Rank outsider on recent handicap debut but ran a solid race in fourth, improver.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/4 +25%) Johngus		2.25 9/4(+25%)																															(1) Johngus 9/4, 20/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, unknown) 2 days ago. Carries penalty. Merits consideration. Some handy form when firing over fences and won 2m handicap hurdle here on Wednesday.
8th	4 8th (4) (8/1 -45%) Natural Breeze		8 8/1(-45%)																															(4) Natural Breeze 8/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Respectable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy, 7/1) 22 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Hard to fault on latest evidence and first-time blinkers won't need to improve him much.
9th	15 9th (15) (8/1 +88%) A Nod To Getaway		8 8/1(+88%)																															(15) A Nod To Getaway 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Killarney (17f, good). Off 17 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. The lack of a recent run adds to what already looks a tall order, not high on the list.
10th	20 10th (20) (14/1 -75%) Eddies Pride		14 14/1(-75%)																															(20) Eddies Pride 14/1, One win from 32 NH runs. Good third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy, 18/1) 22 days ago, barely adequate test. Can give a good account if getting a run. RESERVE. Jumping let her down at Clonmel but still ran a nice race, respected; Reserve.
11th	19 11th (19) (33/1 -106%) Added Bonus		33 33/1(-106%)																															(19) Added Bonus 33/1, One win from 35 NH runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Tramore (21f, soft) 31 days ago. RESERVE. Good second at Gowran in September but ran very flat twice in the interim; Reserve.
12th	11 12th (11) (28/1 +44%) Askwell		28 28/1(+44%)																															(11) Askwell 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft, 28/1) 29 days ago. Had shown promise in his qualifying runs prior to that. Maiden form not much to write home about, needs to come out swinging.
13th	14 13th (14) (80/1 -21%) Five Minutes More		80 80/1(-21%)																															(14) Five Minutes More 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle (125/1) at Gowran (20f, heavy) 48 days ago. Maiden form falls well short of the mark, switch to handicaps needs to work wonders.
14th	17 14th (17) (22/1 -38%) Kate Ill Know		22 22/1(-38%)																															(17) Kate Ill Know 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, first run since leaving Miss D. M. O'Shea when below form seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy) 22 days ago. Should strip fitter for the run. Enters calculations. Probably needed it when off the pace at Clonmel, expect a good deal better.

LTO Selection:

JOHNGUS would have to be taken very seriously if turning out again under a penalty. He reappeared from an absence of more than eight months to win a handicap hurdle over 2m at this venue on Wednesday. That was a race it where it paid to be handy as very few got into it, and he was able to stride home by four and a half lengths. He has won two of his last three races which is decent form in the context of this race. Natural Breeze gets first-time blinkers on the back of a string of consistent efforts where he has been picking up prize money. Caragh Monaghan is getting a tune out of St Denis's Well with the duo winning in Navan and finishing fourth in Down Royal on Tuesday.

The suggestion is ST DENIS'S WELL, assuming this doesn't come too soon after Down Royal on Tuesday. Young Fitzy arrives on the back of a couple of decent runs and also makes the shortlist along with Wednesday's Limerick-winner Johngus and Philip Rothwell pair Legacy of Dreams and Natural Breeze.

THE FLYING DONKEY was the outsider on handicap debut at Tramore but he fired a real sign of intent in fourth, and is given 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.
