14:10 Listowel Maiden Hurdle 16f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	11 1st (11) (11/1 +31%) The Shantou King	11 11/1(+31%)	(11) The Shantou King 11/1, Fair bumper performer who ran to a modest level in completing for the first time over hurdles when seventh of 14 in maiden at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 10/1) 12 days ago. Best hurdle effort came at Kilbeggan last time; tongue-tie and cheekpieces together.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +40%) Ballycallan King	4.5 4.5/1(+40%)	(1) Ballycallan King 4.5/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. 7/2, failed to reproduce the form of his second at Roscommon the previous month when fifth of 14 in maiden hurdle there (15.3f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Needs to bounce back but that's entirely possible. Second in a Roscommon maiden hurdle but was below that level at the same track last time.
3	16 3rd (16) (6/1 +20%) Missus Beeton	6 6/1(+20%)	(16) Missus Beeton 6/1, Showed much improved form despite shaping as though having a bit still to learn when excellent fourth of 10 in minor event hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good, 125/1) 3 weeks ago. Big player back in maiden company. Fourth in a Bellewstown conditions hurdle last time; a chance if repeating that effort.
4	18 4th (18) (2.75/1 -38%) Vadsa Queen	2.75 2.75/1(-38%)	(18) Vadsa Queen 2.75/1, Fairly useful winner at 17f in bumpers. Strong in the betting but proved a let-down sent hurdling when tenth of 13 in maiden (5/6) at Sligo (17.4f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 4 weeks ago. Should do better. Very disappointing in a Sligo maiden hurdle last time and has to bounce back from that.
5th	19 5th (19) (80/1 -60%) Forever Frankie	80 80/1(-60%)	(19) Forever Frankie 80/1, Modest in bumpers, ran below that level sent hurdling when eleventh of 15 in maiden at Galway (16.6f, soft, 40/1) 9 days ago. RESERVE. Beaten 52l on hurdling debut at Galway and not easy to fancy on that form; reserve.
6th	14 6th (14) (12/1 +40%) Cloudy Fountain	12 12/1(+40%)	(14) Cloudy Fountain 12/1, Shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when sixth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Tramore (21f, heavy, 15/2) 33 days ago, weakening when jumped badly left 2 out. Back down in trip. Poor at Tramore last time and questions coming back in trip.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 +18%) Oogum Boogum	33 33/1(+18%)	(7) Oogum Boogum 33/1, Ocovango gelding. Dam (h82), winning pointer, sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 25f) King of The Wolds. Check betting. Homebred is probably best watched for future reference.
8th	15 8th (15) (150/1 +0%) Ladybela	150 150/1(+0%)	(15) Ladybela 150/1, Little impact in pair of bumpers and similar story on hurdles bow at Tramore (16f, heavy) 33 days ago. Tailed-off on maiden hurdle debut last time and best watched.
9th	4 9th (4) (125/1 -25%) Hell Left Loose	125 125/1(-25%)	(4) Hell Left Loose 125/1, Fair at best on Flat (stays 1m), little recent form. Tough to see him featuring on hurdles bow. Four-time sprint winner on the Flat looks best watched on hurdling debut.
10th	8 10th (8) (16/1 -100%) River Vale	16 16/1(-100%)	(8) River Vale 16/1, €28,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Brother to bumper winner/fairly useful 2½m hurdle winner Abuffalosoldier. Off mark in points at third attempt (May 1) and worth a peek in the betting. Difficult to know what he achieved in winning a point' but likely has to improve.
11th	2 11th (2) (5/2 +50%) Dorans Law	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(2) Dorans Law 5/2, Showed ability first time up when ninth of 18 in bumper (100/1) at Punchestown (18f, good to soft) 5 months ago. Makes hurdles debut. Showed some promise on bumper debut at Punchestown in April and is worth a market look.
12th	3 12th (3) (200/1 +0%) Enoughofthat	200 200/1(+0%)	(3) Enoughofthat 200/1, Well held in a trio of maiden hurdles, latest 5 months ago. Back down in trip. Beaten a long way in three maiden hurdles and can't be fancied.
13th	10 13th (10) (18/1 +45%) Squire Ohara	18 18/1(+45%)	(10) Squire Ohara 18/1, 66/1, seventh of 14 in maiden hurdle at Roscommon (15.3f, good to soft) on debut 43 days ago. Looks one for handicaps at longer trips later on. Never involved on hurdling debut at Roscommon and will need to improve plenty from that.
14th	5 14th (5) (33/1 +50%) Jimmy De Giant	33 33/1(+50%)	(5) Jimmy De Giant 33/1, 14/1, offered little when seventh of 8 in bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy) on debut 8 months ago. Makes hurdles debut on first start for yard after leaving John Joseph Hanlon. Tailed-off in a bumper for former yard last winter; needs enormous improvement.
15th	9 15th (9) (40/1 +39%) Shotgun Jack	40 40/1(+39%)	(9) Shotgun Jack 40/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdles and looks a longer-term project. Well held in a bumper and two maiden hurdles so is best watched.
16th	17 16th (17) (150/1 +0%) Mountain Fame	150 150/1(+0%)	(17) Mountain Fame 150/1, Well beaten in 2 bumpers and fared no better sent hurdling at Wexford (24f, soft) recently. Can only be watched. Tailed-off in a maiden hurdle last time and best watched.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (100/1 -100%) Must Meet At Mals	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Must Meet At Mals 100/1, Mustameet gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Bouncing Betty. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2½m) Fontaine Lodge. Best watched for future reference.

LTO Selection:

VADSA QUEEN was a useful sort in bumpers, filling the runner-up spot at the Punchestown Festival and scoring in convincing fashion at Tramore. The Willie Mullins-trained mare has been soundly beaten on both outings since, including when switched to hurdles at Sligo last time. She dropped away after making a mistake three out and is given another chance in what appears a modest enough maiden. Wisteria Bloom went close in a Perth bumper 12 months ago and while without a run since, is an interesting recruit to hurdles. Ballycallan King attracted the attention of the stewards when second to Timourid in a Roscommon maiden on his penultimate start, while point-to-point winner River Vale and Missus Beeton are others to consider.

Bumper winner VADSA QUEEN disappointed making her hurdling debut at Sligo 4 weeks ago but she was well supported that day, so Willie Mullins' 5-y-o is worth another chance in a race that looks to contain plenty of dead wood. Missus Beeton ran a cracker at a huge price at Bellewstown 3 weeks ago and she would be a huge threat if translating that form back in maiden company, with Wisteria Bloom and Ballycallan King another couple to consider.

Maybe it would be wise to forgive VADSA QUEEN for her poor run on hurdling debut, considering that she was the best of these in bumpers

14:10 Listowel Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:45 Listowel Maiden Hurdle 16f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (5/2 +50%) The Wallpark	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(5) The Wallpark 5/2, Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 2 runs this season. 4/7, career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Killarney (16.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago. May well do better for top yard. Two from two for this yard, workmanlike in a maiden hurdle at Killarney, more required now.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 +31%) Broomfield Bijou	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(7) Broomfield Bijou 9/2, Promising type. Career best when winning 25-runner handicap hurdle (6/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 146 days ago, all out. Should improve and she's dangerous in receipt of weight all round. Ended last season with good tough display to win a handicap at Punchestown, should go well.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/11 +42%) Bialystok	0.727273 8/11(+42%)	(1) Bialystok 8/11, Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in April. 16/1, good seventh of 19 in the Galway Hurdle (16f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Hard to beat back in a novice. Handicap winner at Punchestown festival, seventh in Galway Hurdle, strong credentials here.
4	6 4th (6) (22/1 -10%) Zolpharine	22 22/1(-10%)	(6) Zolpharine 22/1, 9/2, career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good) on hurdles bow 12 days ago, going clear. This is a different ask. This comes only 12 days after a maiden hurdle win at Kilbeggan and looks demanding.

LTO Selection:

BIALYSTOK won twice over hurdles earlier this year, including a competitive handicap at the Punchestown Festival, and was beaten less than six lengths on his only run since behind stablemate Zarak The Brave in the Galway Hurdle. This looks a good opportunity to regain the winning thread. Broomfield Bijou also won a handicap at the Punchestown Festival and, like The Wallpark, is on a hat-trick. The Gordon Elliott-trained bumper winner steps into handicap company after taking a Killarney maiden last month. Sherodan was second in a Listed novice hurdle at the Galway Festival before easily landing the odds in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle last month.

BIALYSTOK ran to another high figure when seventh in the Galway Hurdle last month and back in novice company, he should take some stopping. Broomfield Bijou is going the right way and receives weight all round so she's a threat, with The Wallpark also of interest defending an unbeaten record for Gordon Elliott.

Galway Hurdle seventh BIALYSTOK(nap) sets a decent standard and can master Sherodan, second in a Listed novice hurdle at Galway

14:45 Listowel Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:15 Listowel Handicap Hurdle 24f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	14 1st (14) (11/2 +54%) Ballyglass Beauty	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(14) Ballyglass Beauty 11/2, 5/1, creditable 4¼ lengths seventh of 13 to Hand Over Fist in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (23.6f, good to soft) 43 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Not dismissed. Two decent runs in defeat since winning at Sligo but needs a bit more.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/4 +59%) Call The Tune	2.25 9/4(+59%)	(10) Call The Tune 9/4, 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24.3f, soft) 45 days ago, running on late. Worth considering. Ran a cracker in a Galway handicap last time and go well off 4lb higher; cheekpieces off.
3	7 3rd (7) (18/1 +18%) The Little Yank	18 18/1(+18%)	(7) The Little Yank 18/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft, 13/2) 25 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Six-time winner has been below form last few hurdle starts; best on good ground.
4	6 4th (6) (9/2 +25%) Foxfire Glow	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(6) Foxfire Glow 9/2, 2 wins from 4 runs this season. 6/4, career best when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at Tramore (20.5f, good) 34 days ago, kept up to work. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Makes plenty of appeal. Won a Downpatrick maiden and Tramore novice lately; tougher task on h'cap debut but noted.
5th	2 5th (2) (20/1 +39%) Fully Charged	20 20/1(+39%)	(2) Fully Charged 20/1, 14/1, last of 6 in minor event hurdle at Cork (24f, good to soft) 68 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Plenty to find on form. Useful sort but beaten a long way on comeback run over hurdles and needs major improvement.
6th	11 6th (11) (6/1 +25%) Dorans River	6 6/1(+25%)	(11) Dorans River 6/1, Improved to win 14-runner handicap hurdle (6/1) at Ballinrobe (21.8f, good to soft) 5 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Carries penalty. Heading back in the right direction recently. Teenager has been rejuvenated lately, winning three of last four; 7lb penalty to carry.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/2 +50%) Peaches And Cream	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(4) Peaches And Cream 11/2, Creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Galway (24.3f, soft) 45 days ago. Only two runs this year but a fine effort at Galway last time; one to consider.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (8/1 -14%) Mister Beeton	8 8/1(-14%)	(8) Mister Beeton 8/1, Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in June. Good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (25.7f, good, 17/2) 37 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again. Won at Punchestown before a fine run in defeat at Ballinrobe; should go well up 2lb.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (25/1 -39%) Pairc Na Ngael	25 25/1(-39%)	(13) Pairc Na Ngael 25/1, 10/1, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24.3f, soft) 45 days ago. Others more persuasive. Well beaten over fences and hurdles this year so needs a major revival in form.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (28/1 -100%) Scarpia	28 28/1(-100%)	(5) Scarpia 28/1, 5/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 5-runner handicap hurdle at Worcester (23f, good) 97 days ago, holding on gamely. First run for yard after leaving Nicky Henderson. Three-time hurdle winner for Nicky Henderson incl' at Worcester when last seen.

LTO Selection:

Call The Tune and PEACHES AND CREAM filled the minor places behind My Design in a similar event at the Galway Festival. The Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding stays all day having won a valuable 3m7f handicap chase at the Punchestown Festival in 2022 and can reverse those Galway placings as he was sidelined for a year and remains on a decent mark over hurdles. Moonovercloon has been in good form this year, winning at Downpatrick and Sligo, and still held every chance when falling at the last over 2m4f here on Monday. Scarpia recorded a third career win over a similar trip at Worcester before being bought out of Nicky Henderson's yard for 14,000 pounds at Doncaster last month. Foxfire Glow and Hand Over Fist are both on a hat-trick, while Mister Beeton and the veteran Dorans River also come here in good form.

FOXFIRE GLOW is on a steep upward curve and had something to spare when landing a novice at Tramore a month ago, so he gets the nod ahead of Call The Tune and Mister Beeton, who were both runner-up on their latest outing.

With the possibility of heavy rain turning the ground testing, it could pay to side with CALL THE TUNE.

15:15 Listowel Handicap Hurdle 24f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:50 Listowel Maiden Chase 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (2/1 -45%) Brides Hill	2 2/1(-45%)	(1) Brides Hill 2/1, Upped her game when winning 5-runner listed chase at Thurles (21.9f) in February and had excuses in better company next time. Given a break since departing early at Perth in April and is the one to beat on form. Ended last season with two reverses, big chance at these weights if fit and ready.
2	5 2nd (5) (16/1 +0%) Time To Rocco	16 16/1(+0%)	(5) Time To Rocco 16/1, Fairly useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Thurles in March. Fourth of 6 in novice chase at Wexford (19.6f, soft, 22/1) 19 days ago. Work to do with principals here. Held in better company since Thurles win, faces a demanding task at these weights..
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 -38%) My Design	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(4) My Design 11/2, Useful chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Galway in August. Good second of 13 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25f, soft, 9/1) 26 days ago. Return to shorter trip may not be ideal but warrants respect nonetheless. Blinkers on 1st time. Good form hurdling/chasing last two starts, will need career-best to win at these weights.
4	2 4th (2) (11/2 +0%) Effernock Fizz	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(2) Effernock Fizz 11/2, Posted solid second in this sphere at Wexford (19.6f) earlier this month and arrives on back of creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle (5/2) at Kilbeggan (16f, good). Stable having good spell. Warrants respect. Tough and versatile mare, has been picking up plenty of place money, same likely here.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/8 +50%) Heia	1.375 11/8(+50%)	(3) Heia 11/8, Dual winner over hurdles who made a winning start over larger obstacles at Tramore (15.5f) in June. Below that form in stronger event at Galway since but remains with potential. Made a bright start over fences at Tramore, little impact at Galway, solid chance now.
6th	6 6th (6) (50/1 -25%) Rebel Early	50 50/1(-25%)	(6) Rebel Early 50/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, last of 8 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, soft) 9 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Jumped poorly in a handicap at Galway nine days ago, not suited by the race conditions.

LTO Selection:

BRIDES HILL took on some useful sorts over fences last season before beating Telmesomethinggirl in a 2m6f Listed event at Thurles. She didn't get in a blow subsequently in Grade 1 company and it will be interesting to see how strong she is in the market having been absent for five months since an early fall at Perth. Heia was probably the pick of these over hurdles, including when fifth in the Galway Hurdle last year, and made a winning start over fences at Tramore this summer. My Design is a consistent sort and made most to take a 3m handicap hurdle at the Galway Festival before reverting to fences at Kilbeggan, when only headed after the last by Desertmore House. Effernock Fizz likes to force the pace and has been kept busy since winning over fences at Ludlow earlier this year.

BRIDES HILL comes with risks after a first-fence fall at Perth last time but boasts much the best form and gets the vote. Heia is better than she showed at Galway last month and is feared most.

If she can produce a performance in keeping with a Listed success at Thurls last winter BRIDES HILL may prove superior to Heia

15:50 Listowel Maiden Chase 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:25 Listowel Handicap Chase 24f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	20 1st (20) (11/1 +31%) Desertmore House	11 11/1(+31%)	(20) Desertmore House 11/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this season. 9/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 26 days ago. Likely to be on the premises. RESERVE. Second reserve, two wins at Kilbeggan, unplaced behind Toss Again at Galway in between.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/2 -10%) Salvador Ziggy	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(3) Salvador Ziggy 11/2, Promising individual. Won 2-runner novice chase at Killarney (23f, good to soft, evens) 25 days ago by 13 lengths from Toss Again, easily. Makes handicap chase debut. Has to be taken seriously. Has made a seamless transition to fences, trounced Toss Again in a match at Killarney.
3	5 3rd (5) (40/1 -21%) Foxy Jacks	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Foxy Jacks 40/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (16/1) at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 49 days ago won by Ash Tree Meadow. Something to find on form. Up 8lb for beating Stealthy Tom at Kilbeggan, lost action and pulled-up in Galway Plate.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 -41%) Authorized Art	12 12/1(-41%)	(2) Authorized Art 12/1, 14/1, good 2½ lengths second of 22 to Ash Tree Meadow in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Booking of Townend a plus. Should continue to give a good account. Second to Ash Tree Meadow in the Galway Plate, holds a leading chance on revised terms.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 +33%) The Goffer	12 12/1(+33%)	(8) The Goffer 12/1, 16/1, bit below form 18¾ lengths eighth of 22 to Ash Tree Meadow in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 49 days ago, missing break. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more appealing. Useful stayer at best, beaten almost 20l when eighth in Galway Plate, tongue-tie on now.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 +0%) Chemical Energy	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) Chemical Energy 16/1, Course winner. Latest win in chase at Cheltenham in October. 16/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (29f, soft) 163 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Runner-up in the 3m6f National Hunt Chase, bad error five out in the Irish Grand National.
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 -12%) Gabbys Cross	28 28/1(-12%)	(10) Gabbys Cross 28/1, Bit below form 22½ lengths twelfth of 22 to Ash Tree Meadow in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft, 20/1) 49 days ago, slowly away. Others more persuasive. Faded on run-in when 20-1 chance in the Galway Plate, Rachael Blackmore has deserted him.
8th	14 8th (14) (7/1 +13%) Stumptown	7 7/1(+13%)	(14) Stumptown 7/1, Latest win in chase at Sandown in February. Fourth of 5 in minor event chase (11/2) at Galway (22.5f, soft) 45 days ago. Should come on for latest effort. Never in the hunt in Galway conditions event in which Born By The Sea was second.
9th	6 9th (6) (8/1 -45%) Ain't That A Shame	8 8/1(-45%)	(6) Ain't That A Shame 8/1, Latest win in chase at Gowran in March. 10/1, below form seventeenth of 39 in handicap chase at Aintree (34.3f, good) 158 days ago, shaping like a non-stayer. More realistic claims back down significantly in trip. Ran well in two big 3m handicaps last season, faded tamely in Grand National but respected.
10th	16 10th (16) (17/2 +29%) Life In The Park	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(16) Life In The Park 17/2, Course winner. 9/2, respectable 15¼ lengths third of 13 to Foxy Jacks in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (25f, soft) 68 days ago. One to consider. Third to Tullybeg at Ballinrobe, same behind Foxy Jacks and Stealthy Tom at Kilbeggan.
11th	12 11th (12) (33/1 +0%) Hurricane Georgie	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Hurricane Georgie 33/1, Respectable 18¾ lengths ninth of 22 to Ash Tree Meadow in handicap chase (50/1) at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Has work to do. Faces the three who beat her at Kilbeggan, behind five of these in the Galway Plate.
12th	7 12th (7) (12/1 +14%) Ciel De Neige	12 12/1(+14%)	(7) Ciel De Neige 12/1, Respectable 14½ lengths sixth of 22 to Ash Tree Meadow in handicap chase (22/1) at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Not completely dismissed. May be getting the hang of things again judging by staying-on sixth in the Galway Plate.
13th	17 13th (17) (18/1 +45%) Born By The Sea	18 18/1(+45%)	(17) Born By The Sea 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 11/2, creditable second of 5 in minor event chase at Galway (22.5f, soft) 45 days ago. Likely to be on the premises. Down the field in Galway Plate, second in a conditions event at Ballybrit four days later.
14th	13 14th (13) (17/2 +29%) Stealthy Tom	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(13) Stealthy Tom 17/2, 3 wins from 4 runs this season. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase (5/2) at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, cruising clear. Progressing well recently and another bold showing is on the cards. Has been in terrific form, three wins from last four starts, stylish display at Killarney.
15th	9 15th (9) (12/1 +0%) A Wave Of The Sea	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) A Wave Of The Sea 12/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, creditable 10¼ lengths fourth of 22 to Ash Tree Meadow in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 49 days ago. No wins last season, comes into the reckoning now on the strength of Galway Plate fourth.
18	18 \|PU\| (18) (13/2 +24%) Gevrey	6.5 13/2(+24%)	(18) Gevrey 13/2, Creditable third of 7 in minor event hurdle (10/1) at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Not dismissed. Gallant second to I Am Maximus the Irish Grand National, should be fit from hurdles run.
19	19 \|PU\| (19) (33/1 -65%) Captain Cattistock	33 33/1(-65%)	(19) Captain Cattistock 33/1, Nine wins from 29 NH runs. Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap chase at Cheltenham (26f, good, 9/2) 154 days ago, always holding on. RESERVE. First reserve, won 3m2f event at Cheltenham in April for second year in a row, respected.

LTO Selection:

Gordon Elliott fields seven horses and GEVREY ought to go well off a lovely light weight. The seven-year-old was only caught in the closing stages of the Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse in April, and the cobwebs should be blown away after a third over hurdles in Kilbeggan last month. The rain in Listowel won't inconvenience him at all. Stealthy Tom has been shrewdly campaigned after landing a handicap chase at Killarney in May. He has been out once a month since then and has bagged the Connacht National in Roscommon before finishing runner-up in the Midlands National at Kilbeggan. Another victory came his way in a valuable handicap chase at Killarney last month and he looks a major player. Ain't That A Shame goes well fresh and was only 10/1 for the Aintree Grand National, where he finished unplaced. He was pipped by a head in the Munster National at Limerick last year. Ash Tree Meadow and Authorized Art, the first two home in the Galway Plate, have to be given plenty of respect. Salvador Ziggy has shown a real aptitude for chasing in winning his first three starts over fences, although this big field is a different kettle of fish.

SALVADOR ZIGGY has looked a terrific prospect in winning his 3 starts to date over fences and there's every chance he can prove himself to be ahead of a mark of 150. He's a confident choice but the likes of Ain't That A Shame and Authorized Art should ensure that it's not all plain sailing for the selection.

Gordon Elliott fields a big team and may strike with GEVREY the Irish Grand National runner-up who was given a hurdles run last month

Makes chase debut. Major player for top yard. Useful hurdler but pulled-up on two of last four starts; go well if jumping holds up.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 +63%) Genois	2.75 11/4(+63%)	(2) Genois 11/4, Useful chaser. 7/1, below-form fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Naas (20.4f, soft). Off 7 months. Player if back to best after a break (has gone well fresh before). Hurdle winner showed up well on first two chase starts but didn't go on since; comeback.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -14%) Gold Bullion	4 4/1(-14%)	(3) Gold Bullion 4/1, Fairly useful winner at 25f over hurdles. 7/1, career best when winning 16-runner maiden hurdle at Cork (24.8f, good to soft) 137 days ago. Makes chase debut. Respected for a yard with a good recent record in this race. UK bumper winner won a Cork maiden hurdle on return after a long absence; of interest.
4	11 4th (11) (3/1 -33%) The Friday Man	3 3/1(-33%)	(11) The Friday Man 3/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Cheltenham in April. Fairly useful form when placed all 4 starts in maiden chases this season and likely to be winning over fences soon. Fine efforts in defeat all four chase starts and is capable of going close here.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 +28%) Midnight Our Fred	18 18/1(+28%)	(6) Midnight Our Fred 18/1, Promising individual. Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. 16/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Wexford (19.8f, heavy) on debut over fences 40 days ago. Open to progress. Handicap hurdle winner ran respectably on chasing debut; be of more interest h'caps.
6th	10 6th (10) (80/1 -21%) Soldier Of Honour	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) Soldier Of Honour 80/1, Placed both starts in points (latest Mar 12) but will need to be useful to make a winning start over fences here. Placed in two points' and faces a very tough task on rules debut.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (40/1 -82%) Sky Sprinter	40 40/1(-82%)	(9) Sky Sprinter 40/1, In top hands but only modest form in 2 maiden chases this summer and Power of Pause looks the stable first string. Maiden has been soundly beaten both chase starts; yard second-string.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (17/2 +29%) Freedom To Dream	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(1) Freedom To Dream 17/2, Useful hurdler. 11/2, seventh of 11 in novice chase at Limerick (22.7f, good to soft) 118 days ago. Hurdle winner ran well on chasing debut but below that twice since and questions to answer.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (100/1 +0%) Longhouse Star	100 100/1(+0%)	(4) Longhouse Star 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 156 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Little to show for in maiden hurdles and can't be fancied.

LTO Selection:

Henry de Bromhead has won two of the last four renewals of this race and has bright prospects with GOLD BULLION. This lightly-raced sort won a heavy-ground bumper for Paul Nicholls and was placed on his Irish debut over hurdles at Fairyhouse in April before delivering in Cork the following month. He is sure to be well schooled for this first assignment over the bigger obstacles. Power Of Pause is a former point-to-point winner who has won twice over hurdles. He kept good company in that sphere and could be a leading light on his first crack at racecourse fences. The Friday Man has been placed in all four beginners chases he has contested, albeit a beaten favourite in three of them. He reached a good level over hurdles and his experience and race fitness are two advantages he holds. The Short Go is another De Bromhead representative making his chasing debut and isn't without a chance, while Genois hasn't been seen since January but has two placed runs over fences in the book.

THE FRIDAY MAN has achieved enough to think it's only a matter of time before he wins one of these and is the percentage call. Power of Pause and Gold Bullion are potentially dangerous opponents if taking to fences at the first time of asking, while Genois could also have a big say if close to his best after a 7-month break.

With four chase runs under his girth, THE FRIDAY MAN should be able to get off the mark today, though he will need to be at his best.

2	5 2nd (5) (8.5/1 +29%) Noble Talent	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(5) Noble Talent 8.5/1, Fair form in a couple of maiden hurdles in the spring and that suggests he should be up to making an impact now switching to a bumper.

3	8 3rd (8) (33/1 -175%) Toor Khov	33 33/1(-175%)	(8) Toor Khov 33/1, Sholokhov gelding. Dam little show over hurdles. Pulled up sole start in points (Apr 23). Pulled-up at Dromahane on only point-to-point start, favourite then, top rider keeps mount.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 +75%) Jet Setting Jim	3.5 3.5/1(+75%)	(2) Jet Setting Jim 3.5/1, Tongue strap on, showed ability when sixth of 14 on bumper debut (28/1) at Galway (18f, good to soft) 48 days ago, hampered early in the straight. May do better. Showed some ability at Galway, yard had a winner here on Sunday, rider good value for 5lb.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 -6%) Lummi Island	9 9/1(-6%)	(3) Lummi Island 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in bumper (28/1) at Killarney (17f, soft) 26 days ago. Was 12l behind the runner-up when third at Killarney, has an edge over Chosen Templar.
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -89%) Rising Dust	125 125/1(-89%)	(6) Rising Dust 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (20.2f, soft, 150/1) on NH debut 155 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Never in the hunt in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Tipperary in April, 150-1 then..

Off 6 months. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Two fair bumper runs, absent since down the field in a maiden hurdle at Limerick in March.
8th	4 8th (4) (50/1 +0%) Making My Way Back	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Making My Way Back 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 9 in bumper at Killarney (17f, soft) 26 days ago. Held by Jet Setting Jim on running behind Lummi Island and Chosen Templar at Killarney.
9th	7 9th (7) (66/1 -100%) Sheheree	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Sheheree 66/1, Red Jazz gelding. Half-brother to 5f winner Teresar. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, 5f-1m winner on Flat. Not an obvious one on paper but worth a precautionary betting check. Half-brother to a 5f juvenile winner, dam won over 5f too but some stamina in the pedigree.
10th	11 10th (11) (8/11 -38%) Traditude Tara	0.727273 8/11(-38%)	(11) Traditude Tara 8/11, Once-raced maiden. Second of 10 in bumper at Wexford (16.7f, heavy, 11/8) on NH debut 40 days ago, left with too much to do. Hard to beat. Runner-up on debut at Wexford last month, form boosted by a win for third at Navan.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (33/1 -32%) Isolde's Voice	33 33/1(-32%)	(9) Isolde's Voice 33/1, Poet's Voice mare. Half-sister to 2 winners, including fair hurdler In A Nutshell. Dam 2m winner. Closely related to disqualified Wood Ditton winner Mariner's Cross, belated debut as a 7yo.

LTO Selection:

TRADITUDE TARA is hard to get away from on her second start. The Kayf Tara mare finished a clear second behind a ready winner of a Wexford bumper last month, and the third came out and won a Navan bumper on Saturday. Normal improvement should see Traditude Tara off the mark. John Gleeson is a notable booking for Jet Setting Jim, who ran better than his finishing position of sixth in Galway suggests. He suffered a nightmare route approaching the final furlong and is likely to do better. Lummi Island was well beaten in third at Killarney, but the form got a major boost when the winner followed up over hurdles at Navan. Mag Dillane was placed in a Limerick bumper last year, which gives her a shot at more prize money.

It's very hard to see past TRADITUDE TARA who showed plenty of promise when second on her debut last month and can go one better now. The likes of Noble Talent, who showed a fair level of ability over hurdles in the spring, Jet Setting Jim and Chosen Templar can battle it out for minor honours.

The form of the Wexford race in which TRADITUDE TARA was second has been shown in a good light by the third in scoring at Navan

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.
