Point winner and close third in good bumper; missing over a year, so market check needed.

Much improved over return from long absence when fourth last time; Kennedy aboard now.
3	3 (3) (7/1 +13%) Healys Pub	7 7/1(+13%)	(3) Healys Pub 7/1, Improved for debut experience when second beaten 27l in a maiden hurdle here latest; effective at 2m-2m2f on yielding and soft; progressing, latest form franked. Both hurdle runs came here; 5th on hurdling debut; 27l second latest (third won next time).
11	11 (11) (12/1 +14%) The Rebel Fox	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) The Rebel Fox 12/1, Yard won this last year; improved when second beaten 6l in a maiden point at Tinahely latest; hood first time; off a short-break; shaped with promise in points. Placed in all three point-to-points; more needed for rules' debut.
8	8 (8) (40/1 -82%) Papagei	40 40/1(-82%)	(8) Papagei 40/1, Stopped quickly when down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; returning from a break; plenty more needed. Three-time Flat winner is rated 73 in that sphere; below best recently; hurdle debutant.
5	5 (5) (40/1 -60%) Knowing Me	40 40/1(-60%)	(5) Knowing Me 40/1, Below form up in class when fourth beaten 42l in a 4yo bumper at Galway latest; off a long absence; yet to show much. Soundly beaten in three 2024 starts; returns from lengthy absence now.
6	6 (6) (50/1 -25%) Leo Messy	50 50/1(-25%)	(6) Leo Messy 50/1, Court Cave gelding whose dam was unraced; yard in good form but this looks a big ask. dam unraced half-sister to 2m6f-3m chase winner Irish Octave; best watched for the moment.
12	12 (12) (80/1 -60%) Tradonthebay	80 80/1(-60%)	(12) Tradonthebay 80/1, Modest debut 57l third in a maiden hurdle at Limerick most recent run; effective 2m, acts on heavy; may improve hurdling. Tailed off back from 383-day absence on hurdling debut at Limerick; much more needed.
4	4 (4) (150/1 -20%) Jetstream Jeff	150 150/1(-20%)	(4) Jetstream Jeff 150/1, Outpaced and ran poorly when down the field in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown most recent; plenty to prove. Failed to complete either point; beat very few rivals at huge odds in two m'den hurdles.

13	13 (13) (150/1 -88%) Lakewood Rose	150 150/1(-88%)	(13) Lakewood Rose 150/1, Modest debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Thurles last time; hard to fancy. Point winner posted some okay bumper efforts last season; beaten 26l on hurdles debut.

LTO Selection:

The winner of a Grade 2 bumper at last year's Dublin Racing Festival, COLCANNON might be able to kick-start his career over hurdles. Second on his timber debut at Punchestown in November, he then disappointed at Navan. Given a few months off since that effort and upped in trip now, it'll be disappointing if he fails to deliver. Winning a Lingstown point-to-point in impressive fashion and subsequently purchased by JP McManus, Sine Qua Non is an interesting contender. A close third on his sole start under Rules to date, he might be best watched on his comeback from a lengthy absence unless the market suggests otherwise. Out of action for over two years before returning in January, Doctor Elvis is another to note.

Top bumper performer COLCANNON is the most likely winner, provided he bounces back from a poor showing last time

Just denied at Punchestown on heavy; definite contender again but more needed.
3	3 (3) (9/4 +0%) Blake	2.25 9/4(+0%)	(3) Blake 9/4, Well placed off modest pace, likely outstayed late on testing ground beaten 9l in Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) at Leopardstown last time; in good form prior; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; useful on flat, progressive over hurdles and sets the standard here. Royal Bond second ran okay at DRF; skips the Supreme for this and sets the standard here.
1	1 (1) (10/3 +39%) Davy Crockett	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(1) Davy Crockett 10/3, Yard has won last two runnings of race; down the field in Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) at Leopardstown most recent where ground too testing; in good form prior; trainer in form; suited by 2m on decent ground; very well bred, potentially high-class novice but conditions a worry. DRF flop possibly due to heavy ground; questions to answer.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -100%) Le Labo	8 8/1(-100%)	(5) Le Labo 8/1, Fell in a maiden hurdle at Cork latest but would've won if staying up; off a short-break; effective 2m, acts on any; bumper win here franked, latest run boosted at top level, could make amends. Likely Cork maiden winner when fell last; remains a potentially smart sort, could go well.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -14%) Parnell Street	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Parnell Street 16/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 8l in Michael Purcell Memorial Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) at Thurles latest; effective 2m-2m3f, acts on heavy, good; in form but may have reached level. Solid runs in defeat since maiden win but looks to have a lot to find here.
2	2 (2) (33/1 -83%) Jony R	33 33/1(-83%)	(2) Jony R 33/1, Ran to form but outclassed when fourth beaten 9l in Sheila Bourke Novice Hurdle (Listed) at Punchestown latest; effective at 2m1f, acts on soft; progressive and outside claims if getting decent test. Good bit to find here and ground remains a concern.

LTO Selection:

14:30 Naas (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

BLAKE finished well ahead of Davy Crockett when they clashed at the Dublin Racing Festival and, on better terms now, the Noel Meade-trained Blake should be able to confirm his superiority. Narrowly beaten in the Royal Bond on his penultimate start, the selection is the highest rated runner in the line-up. Unbeaten in three starts prior to that Leopardstown effort, the aforementioned Davy Crockett still warrants the utmost respect, while it'll be interesting to see how Le Labo fares.

The decision to skip Cheltenham could reap dividends here for connections of BLAKE who sets a good standard and is proven on the ground

15:00 Naas 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

7	7 (7) (10/3 -11%) Westandtogether	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(7) Westandtogether 10/3, Did it comfortably and ran to form up in trip on handicap debut suited by patient ride off decent pace landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 8lb lower mark at Navan last time; usually held up; effective 2m4f, acts on heavy; progressive, mark generous. Relished stamina test to win at Navan; 8lb rise not so much of a concern as drop in trip.
6	6 (6) (7/2 +61%) Thankyouforthedays	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(6) Thankyouforthedays 7/2, Improved up in trip when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here latest; trainer in form; acts on yielding and heavy; could improve now handicapping, may want further in time. Yard in good form and market support on handicap debut worth heeding.
12	12 (12) (9/2 -13%) King Bob	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(12) King Bob 9/2, Ran to form 12l third in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recent run; hood first time; usually held up; off a short-break; effective 2m; can do better if ridden slightly more positively. Recent runs put him in the mix and first-time hood could bring more.
1	1 (1) (13/2 +35%) Live Your Dreams	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(1) Live Your Dreams 13/2, Made too much use of on handicap debut down the field in a handicap hurdle at Thurles most recent; effective at 2m with cut; needs more in handicaps. Well held on recent handicap debut; down 3lb but mark still looks on the high side.
10	10 (10) (8/1 -45%) Might Be The One	8 8/1(-45%)	(10) Might Be The One 8/1, Raced close enough to strong pace when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal last time; effective 2 1/2m, acts on soft; improving in handicaps until latest. Handles conditions but best form over further.
8	8 (8) (8/1 -23%) Dunany Point	8 8/1(-23%)	(8) Dunany Point 8/1, Ran to form beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time; in good form prior; returning from a break; effective 2 1/4-2 1/2m on good; consistent but conditions a worry on return. Form is all on decent ground and probably best watched on first run since October.
5	5 (5) (12/1 -20%) Deise Crystal	12 12/1(-20%)	(5) Deise Crystal 12/1, Yard won this last year; below form but did see out the trip comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective 2-2 1/2m; type to do better handicapping. Hasn't counted in three maidens but potential improver now entering handicaps.
3	3 (3) (12/1 -33%) Targa Flavio	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Targa Flavio 12/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest where had valid excuse; returning from a break; suited by 2m, acts on any, consistent; generally consistent maiden. Absent since returning clinically abnormal at Fairyhouse in November; wants better ground.
2	2 (2) (20/1 +0%) Ocean Of Dreams	20 20/1(+0%)	(2) Ocean Of Dreams 20/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a maiden hurdle at Thurles most recent; inconsistent on flat where 1m winner, bit to prove over hurdles including stamina. Flat winner on heavy; nothing so far hurdling, market best guide on handicap debut.
9	9 (9) (20/1 +9%) Jesse James Howard	20 20/1(+9%)	(9) Jesse James Howard 20/1, Improved a little comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; tongue-tie first time; effective 2 1/2m; type to do better handicapping but mark demands it. Mildly encouraging maiden run last time; tongue-tied and dropped in trip for handicap bow.
11	11 (11) (22/1 +21%) Vallon Du Plessis	22 22/1(+21%)	(11) Vallon Du Plessis 22/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Navan latest; effective 2 1/2m, acts with cut; inconsistent; needs more. Penultimate Punchestown effort wasn't a bad one; drop in trip may not suit though.

LTO Selection:

A first-time hood might have the desired effect on KING BOB. A real eye-catcher when coming from off the pace to finish a never-nearer third at Punchestown on New Year's Eve, he looks well capable of winning a contest of this standard. Well supported when successful on her handicap debut at Navan last month, Westandtogether is now dropped in trip and it remains to be seen whether that will suit. Narrowly denied at Limerick over Christmas, Might Be The One should give a good account of herself too.

A good third at Punchestown last time KING BOB (nap) looks a lively one off bottom-weight with a first-time hood

French Flat/hurdles winner; tailed off back from 421-day absence last time; best watched.

LTO Selection:

Now rated 136 over fences after going down narrowly in the Thyestes, BETTER TIMES AHEAD will be aiming to exploit his much lower hurdles mark. He already took advantage at Fairyhouse in November and looks capable of doing so again. In truth, this is a fiercely competitive affair and cases can be made for many others. An easy winner at Fairyhouse, Billy Lee Swagger can be forgiven his subsequent effort there after his reins snapped. Second at Leopardstown and Navan the last twice, Hgranca De Thaix is sure to have plenty of supporters, while handicap debutant I'm Slippy, a stable companion of the selection, is another of definite interest.

Agonisingly close in the Thyestes last time, BETTER TIMES AHEAD has a 13lb lower mark compared to that run now back over timber

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

HARVARD GUY can put a favourable chase rating to good use. A dual Listed winner and Grade 3-placed over hurdles in 2023/24, he missed 641 days prior to November's return and while well held this season, he caught the eye here last time and is unexposed at this trip. Mark Walsh is unable to do the weight on the selection but rides Goraibhmaithagat, who has obvious claims despite being 7lb higher than when scoring here last month. Built By Ballymore is 4lb out of the handicap, but ran well in first-time blinkers at Punchestown.

Landing a gamble here last time, GORAIBHMAITHAGAT is up 7lb but has scope for improvement if jumping better and Mark Walsh rides

1	1 (1) (10/11 -48%) Ballygunner Castle	0.909091 10/11(-48%)	(1) Ballygunner Castle 10/11, Yard won this last year; fell in a beginners chase chase at Punchestown latest when going best; that form franked at Graded level; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective 2-3m; should come on for debut experience, will be winning soon over fences. Good second on chase debut; Townend stays loyal after fall last time; this looks easier.

LTO Selection:

16:37 Naas (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

BALLYGUNNER CASTLE is an able performer and it is hoped he will leave behind a last-start tumble. A dual bumper winner and placed at Grade 2 level last April, he ran well on his chase debut at Punchestown before falling at that venue on New Year's Eve. He is suited by testing ground and is his yard's first string. Spread Boss Ted finished fourth in Cheltenham's 2024 Albert Bartlett, but then missed a year. His most recent Punchestown run was satisfactory, but he would prefer further. Champagne Jury was well enough held on his recent chase debut, but is useful and can place. Grade 1-placed hurdler Supersundae's overall form is inconsistent and he was well held on a recent reappearance run.

Townend sticks with BALLYGUNNER CASTLE despite his fall last time. He was a good second on chase debut and this looks easier

Good ground bumper winner but has handled heavy of late hurdling; likely the one to beat.
3	3 (3) (4/1 +20%) Caoimhe	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Caoimhe 4/1, Green, outclassed on debut comfortably held in Listed Mares Flat Race at Navan last time; returning from a break; point winner can do better down in grade. Beaten 23l on bumper debut; needs to improve plenty but still respected.
1	1 (1) (11/2 -22%) Kiltybo	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(1) Kiltybo 11/2, Improved suited by positive ride when winning a Mares bumper at Thurles by 3 1/2l last time; effective at 2m with cut; progressing, remain competitive. Front-running Thurles win over Moyneard but 7lb penalty makes this tough.
5	5 (5) (8/1 -60%) Moyneard	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) Moyneard 8/1, Improved from debut just unable to reel in race fit rival when second beaten 3 1/2l in a Mares bumper at Thurles latest; effective at 2m, acts on good and soft; should come on for latest, could reverse form if ridden more positively. Comeback second to Kiltybo at Thurles augurs well; 7lb better off with that rival now.

Absent since dead-heating in point in May 2024; market likely good guide on rules debut.
4	4 (4) (66/1 +0%) Forever And A Day	66 66/1(+0%)	(4) Forever And A Day 66/1, Ran to form 44l third in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown most recent run; likely to find this too sharp switched to bumpers. Beaten a long way twice in Punchestown maiden hurdles; switches to bumper.

LTO Selection:

POETISA has good recent form and has shown nice promise to date. Out of a half-sister to top-class hurdler Macs Joy, she was purchased for 300,000 pounds following a debut bumper success and although disappointing on her hurdling debut in January, she improved from that effort subsequently. In that Navan race, she turned the form around with her Punchestown conqueror, chasing home smart winner Zanoosh. Kiltybo scored at Thurles, but must now concede 7lb to runner-up Moyneard and both probably need to improve to beat the selection.

Not a natural jumper of hurdles of late, nonetheless POETISA has shown a smart level of form, likely plenty good enough to score here

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.
