Downpatrick bumper winner SANSRISK can register a first success over hurdles. The Philip Dempsey-trained mare ran well on two previous starts over flights, particularly in a stronger contest at Leopardstown over Christmas. This looks a nice opportunity for the daughter of No Risk At All to open her account in this discipline. Runner-up on her first three runs over hurdles, Born In Purple looked booked for a similar position when falling at Down Royal last month. The former French Flat winner needs to brush up her jumping but would be a serious threat if doing so. Mexican Moonshine, who finished second on her racecourse debut at Ballinrobe earlier this month, is entitled to be sharper for that initial outing.

MEXICAN MOONSHINE made a promising debut when runner-up at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago and with the prospect of more to come for her top yard, she can improve beyond the standard set by Born In Purple and Sansrisk.

This looks like a reasonable opportunity for SANSRISK, a bumper winner who obtained useful hurdling experience last season

Although he has a long absence to overcome, the Henry De Bromhead-trained DOWNMEXICOWAY might be worth chancing. A point-to-point winner at Belharbour in February 2023, the gelding shaped with promise on his racecourse debut at Punchestown two months later. While he is entitled to come on considerably from this race, De Bromhead is well capable of having one ready after a layoff. De Temps En Temps, runner-up on his only point-to-point start, is of obvious interest on his debut for Gavin Cromwell. With the stable firing on all cylinders at the moment, the son of Court Cave looks sure to be competitive. Locally trained Herbies Rover has shown enough on two starts to date to suggest he can also be involved.

There should be more to come from A TIPP FOR GOLD and he is taken to open his account. Downmexicoway and Half Montlioux may provide the chief threat.

Padraig Roche's SPREAD YOUR WINGS is from a smart family and the filly had a troubled passage when unseating her rider on debut

If able to replicate his runner-up effort in the Boodles at Cheltenham, EAGLES REIGN will be hard to beat here. A moderate handicapper on the Flat, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding improved markedly when switched to hurdles last winter. Although disappointing at Aintree on his final start of the campaign, he had been a consistent performer prior to that below par run. A recent return on the level at Navan should have left him spot on for this assignment. Bright Legend was behind the selection at the Cheltenham Festival but looks nicely treated off his hurdles mark. He, too, should be all the sharper following a recent outing at Galway. Pinot Gris is also of interest in first-time cheekpieces. The grey finished a close up second on the Flat here last year.

PINOT GRIS looks to have got in lightly for his handicap debut so is fancied to hit the right note back in this sphere. Oh So Charming could emerge as the main danger to Gavin Cromwell's progressive sort ahead of in-form pair Pigeon House and Rauzan.

RAUZAN still looks fairly treated off his new mark. Highly progressive, he can rattle off the five-timer in the hands of Hugh Morgan

Eric McNamara, who loves to line one up for this relatively local track, has two strong chances in the shape of Say It So and IFITWASME. The latter, who opened his account on the Flat at Tipperary in July, arguably has the more scope for improvement. Having had just the three starts over hurdles, the four-year-old could be nicely handicapped off a mark of 95. Say It So is bidding to follow up having registered a first success over flights at Cork last month. Although now 6lb higher, the Raven's Pass gelding looks one of the more likely winners. Ah Remy Martin has shaped well enough in his short career to date to suggest that he is another capable of getting involved at the business end of this race.

AH REMY MARTIN ran well and was arguably unlucky not to win having been badly hampered at the last when third at Down Royal 4 weeks ago. Lining up here easily one of the least exposed, he looks to hold sound claims of playing a lead role once more. Baltinglass Hill and the returning Poets Cottage head up the dangers along with Say It So. Market support behind both Isitwasme and Ganderstown would also look significant.

There could be better to come from SAY IT SO who won off 6lb lower at Cork and has since underlined his form with a solid Flat run

GREAT UNIVERSE looks nicely treated off an initial mark of 114. The eight-year-old has some strong form to his name and was just three quarters of a length behind subsequent Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner Slade Steel in a bumper at the Punchestown Festival of last year. Third on his first two efforts over flights, the Martin Brassil-trained bay starts off in handicap company now, and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Looking to exploit a lower mark over hurdles, Killarney victor Dutch Schultz is the pick of the three Gavin Cromwell-trained representatives, while fellow recent winners Big Stage, Pray Tell and Win Some Lose Some all look to have strong claims. After a controversial defeat last month, it'll come as no surprise if Ballywilliam Boy gains compensation, with C&D winner Millstream Lady another for the shortlist in this fiercely competitive affair.

A big field but the eye is drawn to WIN SOME LOSE SOME, who won a Wexford handicap with plenty in hand in July and is one to keep on the right side of. Dutch Schultz is also in good order and has a tempting hurdles mark to exploit so he's second choice, ahead of Pray Tell.

Eric McNamara's MILLSTREAM LADY (nap) was an impressive winner of a C&D handicap hurdle at this festival last year and gets the nod

Henry de Bromhead fought off suitors from elsewhere when bringing MOSSY FEN PARK back to his Co Waterford base at Goffs in May. Offered for sale by his then owners Clipper Logistics, the Walk In The Park five-year-old fetched 235,000 pounds, with de Bromhead and Gerry Aherne the successful bidders. The winner of a point-to-point when in the care of Sean Doyle, the well-regarded bay was last seen finishing second in a Grade 2 over flights. Starting off over regulation fences now, he looks the one to beat. Disappointingly pulled up when sent off a 10/1 chance in the Irish National in April, Good Time Jonny is of definite interest with Derek O'Connor aboard, while smart hurdler Yeats Star and the Willie Mullins-trained Billericay Dickie are other leading contenders.

Plenty of interesting types in this beginners chase and DARTAN earns the vote to go one better than on chasing debut at the Galway Festival last month at the expense of Mossy Fen Park, who is a previous point winner and looks every inch a chaser for Henry de Bromhead. Yeats Star and Billericay Dickie are both chasing debutants representing powerful yards and that pair complete the shortlist.

Henry de Bromhead had to stretch to £235,000 to keep MOSSY FEN PARK in his yard and the wide-margin point winner can get the job done

A bit of a guessing game, with newcomers dominating. One such is GOLDINTHEVALLEYS, a 220,000-euro yearling purchase. Out of a half-sister to 2012 Breeders' Cup winner Flotilla, he represents top connections and will be ably assisted by the evergreen Derek O'Connor. Out of Grade 1 winner Augusta Kate, first reserve Amen Kate would be of definite interest if getting a run, while other debutants worthy of consideration are the Gordon Elliott-trained William Butler and Richard O'Brien's Spare Chips. Of the experienced runners in the line-up, Rural Link stands out with Patrick Mullins aboard. Live Aid will need to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Kilbeggan if he is to feature here, while South Of Killerig and Killarney fifth Friary Road are others of note.

This could go to a newcomer, with preference for WILLIAM BUTLER who is taken to make a winning start for his leading yard. Goldinthevalleys also makes appeal on paper and is interesting on his first outing, with Rural Link the pick of those with previous experience.

A hopeful vote goes to SOUTH OF KILLERIG who has contested two maiden hurdles and may have the speed for this test

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.
