Seventh of 12 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Galway (16.4f, heavy) on NH debut 15 days ago. Won a confined maiden point in May, may need further judging by hurdling debut at Galway.

Off 19 months. Makes hurdles debut. Won a valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse in April 2022, form of that race worked out well.

LTO Selection:

KING OF KINGSFIELD has to be given another chance despite suffering an odds on reversal on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse last month. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding was one of the leading bumper horses last season, ending his campaign with an excellent third in a Grade 1 contest at the Punchestown Festival. While his subsequent defeat was unquestionably a setback, time may show that he came up against a very useful opponent. Point-to-point winner Slade Steel made a winning racecourse debut at Punchestown in December before running with credit when third in a stronger race at that same venue on his last start. He should be capable of taking a step forward again this term. Icare Desbois has been off the track since making a winning debut at Fairyhouse 574 days ago but such an absence is seldom a concern with his trainer.

KING OF KINGSFIELD showed useful form in bumpers (placed in the Grade 1 at Punchestown in April) and made an encouraging debut in this sphere when second at Fairyhouse on return 6 weeks ago, unlucky to bump into another good prospect but well clear of the rest, and he sets the bar pretty high here. Useful bumper winners Slade Steel and Icare Desbois are obvious threats going hurdling for the first time.

Despite an unexpected reverse on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse KING OF KINSGFIELD is tipped to deliver for the in-form Elliott team

1	3 1st (3) (10/1 -67%) Smooth Tom		10 10/1(-67%)																															(3) Smooth Tom 10/1, Useful Flat performer who made a winning hurdle debut at Listowel in September. Well beaten on the Flat since but there should be more to come from him in this sphere. Useful on Flat, beat a Willie Mullins-trained bumper winner on hurdling debut at Listowel.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +0%) Mayor's Walk		5 5/1(+0%)																															(5) Mayor's Walk 5/1, Point winner. 5/1 and hooded, won 16-runner maiden hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) on NH debut 55 days ago, comfortably. Trainer going well. Should progress. Point winner, won ordinary 2m4f mares' maiden at Listowel, faces a tougher challenge now.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/8 -10%) Golden Joy		1.375 11/8(-10%)																															(1) Golden Joy 11/8, Promising sort. Won 17-runner juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft) on debut in April. Very interesting recruit for his leading stable. Debut winner over 2m2f on heavy ground at Auteuil in April, interesting French recruit.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 -32%) Morning Soldier		33 33/1(-32%)																															(4) Morning Soldier 33/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Pulled up in handicap at Listowel (16f, soft, 28/1) 55 days ago, struggling after 3 out. Failed to build on a good second to useful yardstick Sir Allen at this venue in February.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 -150%) Pastorale		50 50/1(-150%)																															(6) Pastorale 50/1, Pulled up in a Pau hurdle on debut but won a claiming chase there 13 days later. Has switched to Henry de Bromhead since. Mayor's Walk has to be considered the yard first string unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Handled heavy ground well when winning a claiming chase in France, may need further.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/4 +40%) Hypotenus		1.5 6/4(+40%)																															(2) Hypotenus 6/4, Useful form. First run since leaving John McConnell when career best when winning 20-runner novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 6/4) 44 days ago, outstaying rivals. Three Flat wins, good winner on stable debut despite an untidy round of jumping.

LTO Selection:

---

HYPOTENUS, who couldn't have won any easier on stable debut last time, holds leading claims of following up. The former French flat winner made a very pleasing Irish debut for John McConnell when runner-up in a Fairyhouse Grade 3 on his Irish debut but failed to go on from there. While there would be a slight concern that he could do likewise for Gavin Cromwell, the four-year-old has to be given the benefit of the doubt. Smooth Tom achieved a mark of 90 on the flat before switching to hurdles to make a winning debut at Listowel. The Andrew Slattery-trained representative has a decent turn of foot that could prove crucial in this small field. Golden Joy is difficult to access having easily won his only start over hurdles in is native France.

Gordon Elliott French recruit GOLDEN JOY gets the vote, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Hypotenus won easily on his first start for Gavin Cromwell and might be the one to give him most to do.

If maintaining the progress shown in winning at Gowran on his first start for Gavin Cromwell HYPOTENUS may prove best here

LTO Selection:

---

MAHON'S WAY was a 360,000-pound purchase following last November's point-to-point win and ran well on bumper debut in March. He was pushed out to win on debut for trainer Denis Hogan at Lisronagh and subsequently ran well behind a high-class winner at Naas, with the other principal beaten horses possessing ability. Stepping up in distance could also suit. Chosen Witness is a big galloper and while outclassed in graded bumpers last term, ran well enough behind another high-class winner at Punchestown and should also be suited by this distance. Ataboycharlie showed promise on Galway debut and while he contests a stronger maiden, can progress. Spread Boss Ted had good bumper form is 2022 but is best watched on reappearance following 469 days off. Experienced Clodders Dream needs to improve to win. Chigorin ran well on debut for Pat Doyle at Knockanard but is stable second string, while All For Rachel runs in a first-time tongue-tie.

Willie Mullins unleashes a couple of well-above average bumper performers in CHOSEN WITNESS and Spread Boss Ted, with marginal preference for the former unless the market strongly suggests otherwise. Mahon's Way could be best of the rest.

The Willie Mullins-trained CHOSEN WITNESS took part in top bumpers after a 10l win at Limerick and could make a smart novice

Creditable 9¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Klassical Dream in Champion Stayers' Hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Trainer going well. Much respected on his handicap hurdle debut. Drop in trip not in his favour on seasonal debut and others preferred.
15th	11 15th (11) (17/2 +58%) Jazzy Matty		8.5 17/2(+58%)																															(11) Jazzy Matty 17/2, Latest win in hurdle at Cheltenham in March. Thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Fairyhouse (16.4f, soft). Off 7 months. Up in trip. Stable in good form. Sort to bounce back. Fred Winter winner struggled at Fairyhouse against elders; unproven over this far.
16th	17 16th (17) (22/1 -38%) Must Meet Cecil		22 22/1(-38%)																															(17) Must Meet Cecil 22/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this season, battling well when landing 9-runner handicap hurdle (7/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 36 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Fairyhouse winner progressive but effectively 10lb higher here so big ask.
17th	10 17th (10) (66/1 -65%) Ballywilliam Boy		66 66/1(-65%)																															(10) Ballywilliam Boy 66/1, Course winner. Latest win in hurdle at Galway in October 2021. Creditable sixth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24f, good to soft, 40/1), finding little. Off 21 months so market can prove a good guide. Absent since respectable run in valuable Leopardstown handicap in February 2022.
18	18 |PU| (18) (16/1 +0%) The Lovely Man		16 16/1(+0%)																															(18) The Lovely Man 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Roscommon (15.9f, soft, 5/4) 48 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut with more required. Just denied in maiden here in March but stiff task on handicap bow.
15	15 |PU| (15) (25/1 +0%) Kilbree Warrior		25 25/1(+0%)																															(15) Kilbree Warrior 25/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in April. Well-beaten fifth of 6 to Space Tourist in listed mares event (14/1) at Limerick (22.7f, heavy) 22 days ago. Blinkers back on with more needed. Front-runner will have to come on a ton for recent Limerick to feature at the finish.

THECOMPANYSERGEANT handled heavy ground when winning a maiden at Navan last season and went on to be placed at Grade 2 level over this trip. Fourth in a valuable handicap at the Listowel festival, he'll be suited by a return to this distance and is on a nice racing weight. Firm Footings knuckled down well to beat a higher-rated rival in at Sligo and has been given a 5lb hike. He didn't see out this trip when sixth in the Martin Pipe but may be a stronger model now. Ballybawn Belter has won three times in handicap company this year and had plenty to spare when scoring over a longer trip at Ballinrobe. She's up 9lb for that and the ground will be more testing on this occasion which is not sure to suit.

Plenty are in with a shout. THECOMPANYSERGEANT starts out on a lenient mark for Shauna Larkin so is taken to build on his good Listowel fourth last time out and quickly resume winning ways. Lord Erskine is next on the list now reverted to this sphere on the back of a good Curragh third on the level. Gordon Elliott's trio Firm Footings, Chinx of Light and Jazzy Matty all need factoring in too in a highly competitive event.

Typically competitive and perhaps a locally-trained winner in GAOTH CHUIL whose recent Punchestown comeback second has been franked

1	4 1st (4) (5/6 -14%) Dinoblue		0.833333 5/6(-14%)																															(4) Dinoblue 5/6, Produced a really smart performance when rounding of an excellent first campaign over fences with a win in a 2m handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April. That suggests she's more than capable of winning at Graded level. Progressed well in handicaps in the spring; nicely treated by the race conditions here.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/1 +29%) Fil Dor		5 5/1(+29%)																															(1) Fil Dor 5/1, Smart hurdler/chaser. Ended last season on a low note and the chances are even a return to his very best won't be quite good enough here. Back chasing on seasonal return facing stiff task against some more seasoned rivals.
3	5 3rd (5) (200/1 -100%) Hope Des Blins		200 200/1(-100%)																															(5) Hope Des Blins 200/1, Fair chaser. Latest win in chase at Sligo in September. 9/2, fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Limerick (19f, heavy) 21 days ago. Front-runner the likely pace angle here but not good enough.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 +0%) Panda Boy		25 25/1(+0%)																															(2) Panda Boy 25/1, Useful chaser. 11/4, 18¾ lengths fourth of 5 to Minella Indo in Grade 3 chase at Punchestown (23.3f, good to soft) on reappearance 32 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Something to find. Very useful staying handicapper but could be taken off his feet back markedly in trip.
3	3 |F| (3) (15/8 -7%) Sir Gerhard		1.875 15/8(-7%)																															(3) Sir Gerhard 15/8, Leading novice hurdler of 2021/22 campaign and a smart novice chase, finishing second in a Fairyhouse Grade 1 in April. Pulled up at Punchestown later that month but can bounce back and provide the chief threat to his stablemate. Yet to convince in jumping and drops in trip for seasonal return.

LTO Selection:

DINOBLUE is best in at the weights and well suited by this trip. Late mistakes contributed to a defeat when favourite in the Grand Annual but the six-year-old made amends in valuable handicaps at Fairyhouse and Punchestown afterwards. Successful first time out in her two previous campaigns, she can pick up where she left off last term. Dual Cheltenham festival winner Sir Gerhard was runner-up at Grade 1 level at Fairyhouse in April which was by far his best effort in his novice chase campaign. He looked far from a natural over fences in his other outings, though, and this trip is short of his best. Fil Dor made a winning start in this discipline at Navan a year ago but was switched back to hurdles after a couple of disappointing runs at Leopardstown. If he gets his jumping together, he has the ability to contend.

Willie Mullins should dominate this. The level DINOBLUE achieved when landing a well-contested handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April suggests she can make her mark in Graded company this season and she's preferred to Sir Gerhard.

Willie Mullins could well dominate, with DINOBLUE getting valuable weight from her stablemate Sir Gerhard and the likely winner

1	5 1st (5) (7/4 +0%) Grangeclare West		1.75 7/4(+0%)																															(5) Grangeclare West 7/4, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Career best when winning 9-runner minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 6/4), going clear. Has the credentials to make a quality chaser, so fancied to make a successful start in this sphere. Ended last season on a high hurdling; should make at least as a good a chaser.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/2 +31%) Heart Wood		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(6) Heart Wood 11/2, Promising sort. 4/1, first run since leaving P. & C. Peltier when second of 11 in novice chase at Navan (17f, soft) on IRE NH debut, clear of rest. Off 12 months. Respected. Absent a year since Navan promise; Drinmore entry so clearly held in some regard.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/10 -10%) Corbetts Cross		1.1 11/10(-10%)																															(2) Corbetts Cross 11/10, Useful hurdler. 9/4, running well ran out in Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle (Spa) at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft) 8 months ago. Point winner who should take to this discipline, so solid claims. Smart novice hurdler last term; points' winner and potentially high-class novice chaser.
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 -40%) Franciscan Rock		14 14/1(-40%)																															(4) Franciscan Rock 14/1, Useful chaser. Fell in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy, 9/2) on debut over fences 43 days ago looking sure to be placed. Tongue strap on 1st time. Shortlist material. Needs to jump better than at Gowran, could feature if doing so.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 +13%) So Des Flos		14 14/1(+13%)																															(9) So Des Flos 14/1, Promising sort. Winner in hurdle at Limerick in March. Fourth of 8 in novice chase (13/2) at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft) on debut over fences 36 days ago. Should progress, so not a forlorn hope. Better for recent chase debut but this looks a stronger beginners' chase.
6th	8 6th (8) (66/1 -100%) Snake Oil		66 66/1(-100%)																															(8) Snake Oil 66/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 15/2, seventh of 9 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, heavy) 15 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Should improve. Delicate 8yo hard to fancy on tame recent Galway run; tongue tie fitted.
7th	3 7th (3) (28/1 -12%) Daily Present		28 28/1(-12%)																															(3) Daily Present 28/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Useful winner at 22f over hurdles. 15/2, fourth of 6 in novice chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy) on debut over fences 14 days ago. Has a bit to prove. Better for recent chasing debut and comeback run but likely still best watched for now.
8th	1 8th (1) (200/1 -33%) Backintheroom		200 200/1(-33%)																															(1) Backintheroom 200/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Sixth of 10 in novice chase at Limerick (19f, heavy, 25/1) 21 days ago, considerately handled. Open to progress. Three attempts chasing underwhelming; likely of more interest when tackling handicaps.
9th	7 9th (7) (250/1 +0%) Howishedizzy		250 250/1(+0%)																															(7) Howishedizzy 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19.8f, good, 50/1). Off over 2 years. Makes chase debut. Nothing in maiden hurdles; long absent and can only be watched on chase debut.

CORBETTS CROSS went up through the ranks over hurdles last term and landed a Grade 2 contest at this venue in February. Favourite for the Albert Bartlett the following month, he was in contention when running out at the last. The six-year-old is a winning point-to-pointer and is an exciting prospect as a novice chaser. Grangeclare West also has a point-to-point win to his name and impressed a couple of times over hurdles last season, including on his return from a long absence at Navan. Trip and ground will suit and he's another notable chase debutant. Heart Wood, a very useful juvenile hurdler in France, was runner-up on chase debut in a hot contest at Navan almost exactly a year ago. Not seen since then, his record when fresh is encouraging and it will be interesting to see how he fares trying this distance for the first time.

Ex-pointers GRANGECLARE WEST and Corbetts Cross were both above average over hurdles and appeal as interesting newcomers to this sphere. Preference is for the former, who has always looked the type to do much better in this sphere. Heart Wood is the pick of the remainder.

A good-class beginners chase in which the 148-rated hurdler CORBETTS CROSS is taken to make a winning start over fences

Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Grand Sancy, stays 2¾m, and bumper winner/useful 2m hurdle winner Keskonrisk. Has an obvious chance to make a winning start. Seemingly stable second-string but still has to be respected on debut.
2	13 2nd (13) (14/1 +0%) Lady Bluebird		14 14/1(+0%)																															(13) Lady Bluebird 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 15 in bumper at Galway (16f, soft, 28/1) 99 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Fair level of form in three bumpers, lot more likely required here though.

Sister to useful hurdler Shanning, stayed 2¾m, and half-sister to 2 winners, including top-class chaser Allaho. Dam unraced. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Trainer going well. Half-sister to Allaho deserves utmost respect on debut for top yard.

Ninth of 17 in bumper (10/1) at Punchestown (16.6f, good) on NH debut 33 days ago. Much more required. Points' winner needs to improve markedly on recent Punchestown bumper debut.
10th	14 10th (14) (22/1 +33%) Little Soiree		22 22/1(+33%)																															(14) Little Soiree 22/1, Poor hurdler. Fourteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 50/1) 55 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Initial promise for Willie Mullins hasn't materialised; hard to fancy.
11th	2 11th (2) (9/4 +63%) Barbie Girlz		2.25 9/4(+63%)																															(2) Barbie Girlz 9/4, Mount Nelson mare. Half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful 3m hurdle winner Pulling Stumps. Half-sister to a bumper winner; respected source so has to be checked for market support.
12th	3 12th (3) (28/1 -75%) Barrow Princess		28 28/1(-75%)																															(3) Barrow Princess 28/1, Shirocco mare. Half-sister to 4 winners, including bumper winner/fair hurdler Goaheadmakemyday and fair hurdler Therellalwaysbeone. Makes some appeal on pedigree, so worthy of interest if the market speaks in her favour. Related to some fair types for the yard; worth a market check.
13th	9 13th (9) (28/1 -75%) Global Brief		28 28/1(-75%)																															(9) Global Brief 28/1, Once-raced maiden. 7/2, sixteenth of 17 in bumper at Punchestown (16.6f, good) on NH debut 33 days ago.

Eleventh of 14 in bumper at Wexford (20f, good to soft, 16/1) 165 days ago. Others make more appeal. Ground too quick when last seen, contender on earlier Cork second on soft.

SHAVING is the choice of Patrick Mullins and the daughter of Spanish Moon would be a topical winner after her high-profile half-brother Allaho made a winning return to action earlier in the week. The five-year-old is also a sister to Shanning who won over 1m2f in France before scoring three times over hurdles for the Mullins yard. Stablemate Fleur Au Fusil merits respect as a half-sister to smart hurdles Grand Sancy and useful bumper and hurdles winner Keskonrisk. Oliver McKiernan has done well with the family of Hollies Choice who cost 50,000 euros at the Derby Sale and any market support would be noteworthy.

SHAVING is in excellent hands and makes plenty of appeal on pedigree, so she's fancied to make a successful debut at the possible expense of her stablemate Fleur Au Fusil, who also has the potential to be above average. East Side is the clear pick of those with experience.

All eyes here will be on Allaho's half-sister SHAVING in a bumper which may not take too much winning

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.
