12:10 Navan 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 +0%) Zeus Power	6 6/1(+0%)	(3) Zeus Power 6/1, Won a maiden hurdle at Thurles by 16l last time, improving from his debut when dropped in trip. Effective at 2½m and acts on yielding and good ground. The form of that win isn't strong but he continues to progress. Placed in two bumpers and on hurdling debut before a runaway Thurles win, promising.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/6 +31%) Lazare De Star	0.833333 5/6(+31%)	(2) Lazare De Star 5/6, Yard has won two of the last nine runnings of this race. Won a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown by 4¼l last time, doing it comfortably. Effective at 2–2½m and acts on soft and good ground. Point form has been franked and he's progressing well over hurdles. The one to beat on form. Won in good style over a longer trip at Leopardstown following C&D second, leading chance.
3	1 3rd (1) (20/1 -122%) Welonlyhavedone	20 20/1(-122%)	(1) Welonlyhavedone 20/1, Pulled up in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2) at Cheltenham last time after a short break. Effective at 2–2½m and acts on good and yielding ground. Drop in grade helps but needs to bounce back and conditions remain a concern. Needs to bounce back after a Galway fall and a poor Cheltenham run, stable out of form.
4	4 4th (4) (7/2 -17%) Fierce Handay	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(4) Fierce Handay 7/2, Nearly fell late when challenging but ran to form up in trip on a quick return when second, beaten 3l, in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown last time. Effective at 2m with some cut and stays further. Consistent performer with an experience edge. Has earned his current mark with solid handicap form, a fair chance in a race of this type.
5th	6 5th (6) (66/1 +0%) Good Deal	66 66/1(+0%)	(6) Good Deal 66/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at 2–2½m and acts with cut. Spring form has taken some knocks, so he must improve on that reappearance effort. Bumper winner at Fairyhouse, has failed to build on his hurdles debut at the same venue.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 +45%) Chase The Moon	22 22/1(+45%)	(7) Chase The Moon 22/1, Outpaced and below form but stayed on when fourth, beaten 31l, in a novice hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at 2m and acts with cut. Looks better suited to a drop in grade. Won a Gowran maiden over this trip, struggled when up in class and trip at Fairyhouse.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/2 +31%) Bon Viveur	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(5) Bon Viveur 9/2, Very promising debut winner of a maiden hurdle at Tramore by 4l last time. Trainer is in good form and he's effective at 2m on soft ground. Has more to come over hurdles for a top yard and the stiffer track should suit. A lot more on his plate now than winning a maiden at Tramore, merits respect all the same.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 +39%) Khmer	40 40/1(+39%)	(8) Khmer 40/1, Raced keenly in front and did too much too soon up in trip when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft ground. The drop in trip will help but has something to find with a re-opposing rival. Looks held by Bon Viveur on Tramore running, moderate run over a longer trip at Limerick.

LAZARE DE STAR won nicely during Christmas and might prove to be a little better than a 126 rating. Runner-up in a point-to-point, he chased home a useful type on his hurdling debut before scoring at Leopardstown. Dropping back down in distance isn't ideal, but he seems ground-versatile and is open to further progression. Flat-bred Zeus Power has yet to race on ground this testing, but scored very easily at Thurles last month. He too is open to further improvement and should figure prominently. Fierce Handay has been running well in handicaps, while Bon Viveur steps up from his Tramore success.

A holder of Grade 1 DRF entries, LAZARE DE STAR may not be unduly troubled by the drop in trip following a stylish Leopardstown win

12:45 Navan 22f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (25/1 -150%) Timesareachanging	25 25/1(-150%)	(12) Timesareachanging 25/1, Very promising debut when 12l third in a bumper at Limerick last time; effective at around 2m2f, acts on soft ground; a point winner likely to improve now hurdling up in trip. Point winner returned from long layoff with bumper third last time; entitled to improve.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/8 +32%) Court Compliance	1.875 15/8(+32%)	(1) Court Compliance 15/8, Ran to form when second beaten 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal last time; effective at 2m5f, acts on yielding and soft; the debut form looks strong and he should be winning soon. 95,000GBP purchase following point placed form; runner-up in both m'dens; huge contender.
3	4 3rd (4) (15/8 +6%) He Can't Dance	1.875 15/8(+6%)	(4) He Can't Dance 15/8, Improved when just caught late by a strong stayer after racing freely when second beaten 1/2l in a novice hurdle at Thurles last time; effective from 2m to 2m6f, acts on soft and good to soft; a bumper and point winner progressing over hurdles. Point winner went closer than ever over hurdles when beaten 0.5l last time; player.
4	9 4th (9) (3/1 -9%) Melbourne Shamrock	3 3/1(-9%)	(9) Melbourne Shamrock 3/1, Improved up in trip when just caught late, beaten a head in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective from 2m6f to 3m, acts on soft; progressing, latest form has been franked, and he should be competitive. Point winner ran his best race when beaten a head last time despite wandering around.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 +12%) Kaiser De Chanay	22 22/1(+12%)	(6) Kaiser De Chanay 22/1, Mildly promising debut when comfortably held in a Clonmel maiden hurdle last time; returning from a short break; effective around 2m4f, acts on soft ground; likely to appreciate the longer trip but needs more. Second in a point and 22l sixth in a m'den not devoid of promise; can improve.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 +17%) Hens Tooth	10 10/1(+17%)	(5) Hens Tooth 10/1, Stopped quickly and needed the run on hurdle debut when down the field in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last time; trainer in form; effective at 2m, handles cut; bumper winner who has had issues but remains with a leading yard and could leave debut form behind. Point and bumper winner was tailed off on hurdling debut; others preferred.
7th	7 7th (7) (150/1 -200%) Kashchei	150 150/1(-200%)	(7) Kashchei 150/1, Made mistakes and failed to build on debut when comfortably held in a Cork maiden hurdle last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on heavy and good; has plenty to find. Moderate form for Declan Queally and didn't improve on stable debut last time.
8th	2 8th (2) (66/1 -100%) Gallant George	66 66/1(-100%)	(2) Gallant George 66/1, Promising debut though well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time; effective at around 2m4f, acts on good ground; could improve with the longer trip. Point runner-up was 26l behind on Rules debut; much more needed.
9th	3 9th (3) (20/1 +0%) Grey Balls Of Fire	20 20/1(+0%)	(3) Grey Balls Of Fire 20/1, Improved when winning a maiden point at Knockmullen House by 2/2l last time; tongue-tied for the first time and returning from a short break; a suitable starting point for this point winner. Point winner at the fourth attempt last time; will need to improve to win on Rules debut.
10th	11 10th (11) (300/1 -50%) Shoe Shinner	300 300/1(-50%)	(11) Shoe Shinner 300/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when down the field in a Limerick maiden hurdle last time; inconsistent in 3m points, may prefer further under rules but likely one for handicaps. Maiden from six points and beaten a long way in two starts under rules; hard to fancy.
11th	8 11th (8) (200/1 -33%) Live Your Dreams	200 200/1(-33%)	(8) Live Your Dreams 200/1, Never threatened when well beaten in an auction hurdle at Down Royal on debut; plenty to prove. 10-1 for debut but tailed off; dam is half-sister to Un De Sceaux so more likely expected.
12th	10 12th (10) (300/1 -50%) Native Policy	300 300/1(-50%)	(10) Native Policy 300/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here on debut; returning from a short break and has everything to prove. 150-1 and ran as expected when tailed off over 2m4f at this track on debut.

COURT COMPLIANCE was beaten at odds-on during Christmas, but is an able stayer who should be suited by going back up in distance. Placed in two point-to-points, he finished second in a useful maiden hurdle at Punchestown in November and although beaten at Down Royal subsequently, he ran a solid race and seems ground-versatile and dependable. He Can't Dance finished 11 lengths behind the selection at Down Royal, while Melbourne Shamrock's Fairyhouse conqueror Bally Free finished fourth in the aforementioned Punchestown maiden.

Runner-up in both maidens and with the form franked, COURT COMPLIANCE gets the vote to gain his first win

13:20 Navan 20f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (15/2 -25%) Zanoosh	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(10) Zanoosh 15/2, Improved again when landing a Punchestown maiden hurdle by 5 1/2l last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on soft or good ground; progressing but needs more now handicapping off a higher mark. Bumper winner bagged first hurdles win in a m'den last time; likely to excel over further.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/1 -38%) Hgranca De Thaix	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Hgranca De Thaix 9/1, Travelled strongly but had too much to do, unlucky when beaten a nose off a 4lb lower mark at Leopardstown last time. Effective at 2 1/2m on any ground; fair mark based on chase form and arrives in good heart. Smart chaser was beaten a nose by The Nagger Reidy last time; 4lb rise may not stop him.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -200%) Son Of Anarchy	9 9/1(-200%)	(3) Son Of Anarchy 9/1, Last year's winning yard; went clear easily and improved when dropped in grade and trip to win a handicap by 7 1/2l off a 10lb lower mark at Punchestown. Returns from a short break; effective from 2m to 2 3/4m on any ground; still progressing. Plenty to spare when scoring on h'cap debut last time; up 10lb but can go well again.
4	2 4th (2) (8/1 +33%) Sa Fureur	8 8/1(+33%)	(2) Sa Fureur 8/1, From a yard that won this race last year; ran to form but was well beaten in the Neville Hotels Premier Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Leopardstown latest. Effective at 2 1/2m and handles any ground; inconsistent but well treated on chase form. 151-rated chaser has attempted to exploit lower hurdles mark in recent times; more needed.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 +50%) Timeless Treaty	6 6/1(+50%)	(5) Timeless Treaty 6/1, From the same stable that won this race last year; travelled well but all but fell late and was eased, finishing below form when well beaten in a Leopardstown handicap hurdle. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on sound ground; fair mark based on summer form. Dual hurdles winner is the choice of Kennedy from the stable's four; eighth last time.
6th	9 6th (9) (13/2 +7%) The Nagger Reidy	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(9) The Nagger Reidy 13/2, Got first run on the runner-up and improved again when dropped in grade, winning by a nose off a 6lb lower mark at Leopardstown. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on any ground; still progressing. Up 6lb since second hurdles win last time by a nose to Hgranca De Thaix; super consistent.
7th	13 7th (13) (8/1 +43%) I A Connect	8 8/1(+43%)	(13) I A Connect 8/1, Ran to form back over fences when winning a handicap by 4 1/2l off a 12lb lower mark at Down Royal. Effective at 2 1/2m and handles all ground but prefers it sound; back in form and remains well treated on old efforts; though can be a weak finisher. Dual hurdles winner got second chase win last time; good third over timber on penultimate.
8th	7 8th (7) (8/1 +33%) Killaney King	8 8/1(+33%)	(7) Killaney King 8/1, Keen and ran to form before flattening out late when stepping up in trip at a stiff track, beaten 3l off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and handles soft ground; in form with a fair mark. Point winner but a m'den under Rules; big danger if settling better than last time.
8	8 \|F\| (8) (7/1 +30%) Grimaud	7 7/1(+30%)	(8) Grimaud 7/1, From last year's winning yard; ran roughly to form and just flattened out late, possibly outstayed when beaten 6l in a Limerick handicap hurdle. Effective from 2m to 3m on any ground; consistent performer. Flat/m'den hurdle winner has run well in last 3 h'cap hurdles; Kennedy rides another.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (8/1 0%) Balko D'ange	8 8/1(0%)	(1) Balko D'ange 8/1, Won by 3 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark here on his penultimate start; hampered by an early faller and improved again when third, beaten 5 1/2l off 130 last time. Up 1lb and effective at 2m on heavy or good ground; still progressing. Added second hurdles win on penultimate and ran well latest; trip a slight question.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (14/1 +58%) Catch The Beast	14 14/1(+58%)	(11) Catch The Beast 14/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in the Brown Lad Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Naas last time. Back from a short break; effective at 2 1/2m and suited by soft ground; should improve for the reappearance and thrown in on old form; very interesting. Winner over 2 years ago but didn't run badly on seasonal return last time; may improve.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (33/1 -32%) Fad Eadrainn	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Fad Eadrainn 33/1, Disappointed on handicap debut when down the field in the Neville Hotels Premier Handicap Hurdle (Listed) at Leopardstown. Cheekpieces applied for the first time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on any ground. Form previously on the up before that run. Bumper winner is 2-8 over timber and better than he showed when tailed off last time.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (50/1 +24%) Cafe Con Leche	50 50/1(+24%)	(12) Cafe Con Leche 50/1, Narrow winner off a 5lb lower mark at Cork three starts ago; outclassed up in grade when eighth, beaten 24l off 118 last time, now 1lb lower. Trainer in form; effective from 12f to 20f on heavy or good ground; consistent on the flat, less so over hurdles. Bagged fifth hurdles win in Nov' but struggled off revised mark in two runs since.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

SON OF ANARCHY is 10lb higher than when successful in November, but has further room for progression. He missed a year following a debut point-to-point success and while it then took seven runs to score over hurdles, he had shaped with promise on more than one occasion and landed an on-course gamble when scoring at Punchestown. The Nagger Reidy narrowly defeated Hgranca De Thaix at Leopardstown during Christmas, while others with good recent handicap form are Balko D'ange, Killaney King and I A Connect.

Out of form until failing by a nose at Leopardstown last time, HGRANCA DE THAIX is a big player if he can build on that

13:50 Navan 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (9/1 -13%) One Big Boum	9 9/1(-13%)	(4) One Big Boum 9/1, Returned to form down in class when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. Blinkers applied for the first time; effective 2m–2m4f on soft ground. Showed signs of revival but not one to rely on. No sign of his best form since two wins in 2024, has dropped in the ratings, blinkered now.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/4 +42%) Teds Corner	1.75 7/4(+42%)	(9) Teds Corner 7/4, Short of room and had too much to do when beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time. Effective over 2m and acts on yielding ground; yet to match promising debut but holding fair form. Twice in the frame at around this trip at Fairyhouse in recent months, should go close.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 -50%) Low Style	12 12/1(-50%)	(7) Low Style 12/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Galway most recently. Effective over 3m and suited by cut; had been improving prior to that reappearance. Ended last season with a good run in a 3m handicap chase, tailed off at Galway in October.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 -82%) Magic Boum	20 20/1(-82%)	(3) Magic Boum 20/1, Travelled well and needed the run when beaten in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. Effective from 2m to 2m6f and handles cut; should come on for that outing. Lost form last season after course 2m maiden win, failed to feature on seasonal debut.
5th	10 5th (10) (13/2 -18%) Johnny Cakes	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(10) Johnny Cakes 13/2, Returned to form back down in trip when beaten 3l off a 3lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time. Effective 2½–3m and handles heavy and good ground; generally consistent performer. Closely matched with Teds Corner on running at Fairyhouse, poor strike rate is a concern.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/4 +50%) Shellrunforbriggs	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(6) Shellrunforbriggs 9/4, Went clear comfortably when winning a maiden hurdle at Naas by 8l last time. Effective over 2½m and handles heavy ground. Flat-bred and progressing; may do better again now handicapping. Hacked up in a 2m3f maiden at Naas, that was a weak race but this mark could be lenient.
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 +40%) Queen Nel	12 12/1(+40%)	(8) Queen Nel 12/1, Made too much use of early and needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse most recently. Effective around 2½m on soft ground; on a long losing run and needs to leave that form behind. Fourth at Fairyhouse last April, has failed to show similar form in two subsequent outings.
8th	5 8th (5) (100/1 -150%) Teescomponentsyess	100 100/1(-150%)	(5) Teescomponentsyess 100/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Limerick last time. Enjoys making the running and is effective around 2½m on soft ground. Well treated on past chase form but must prove his ability remains after a layoff. Won a 2m4f chase off this mark last February, has struggled in two outings this season.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (10/1 -100%) High Notions	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) High Notions 10/1, Far too free when stepped up in grade and well beaten in the Feathard Lady Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 3) at Down Royal last time. In good form beforehand and effective over 2m4f; needs to bounce back now handicapping. Beat a subsequent winner at Fairyhouse in October, dropped in class after a Grade 3 bid.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (100/1 -809%) Herculaneum	100 100/1(-809%)	(1) Herculaneum 100/1, Unseated in a handicap at Roscommon last time and has been absent for a very lengthy period. Previously progressive and could get involved if returning in good order. Most recent of three hurdle wins was in May 2024, off since later that year, may need this.

SHELLRUNFORBRIGGS showed progression to break through and looks to be ahead of the handicapper with an initial rating of 102. Out of a half-sister to three winners, she showed some promise at Fairyhouse before scoring at Naas. That maiden hurdle was for previously unplaced horses but having won easily, she should continue to improve. Teds Corner has been a beaten favourite on each of his last three starts but should again compete, while Johnny Cakes has reasonable recent form but has won just once from 20 starts.

The Naas maiden won by SHELLRUNFORBRIGGS (nap) was not of a high standard. Even so, her opening mark may underestimate her ability.

14:25 Navan 24f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (16/1 -33%) Joystick	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Joystick 16/1, Tired after a series of errors when comfortably held in a beginners' chase at Fairyhouse last time. The trainer is in form. Effective over 2–2½m and handles soft ground. Still early days over fences for a top yard but needs to bounce back. Tailed off in the Fairyhouse event in which stablemate Kaid D'Authie beat Wingmen.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/15 +57%) Slade Steel	0.533333 8/15(+57%)	(6) Slade Steel 8/15, Brought down as the race was developing when still going well. Effective over 2–2½m; a classy novice hurdler who isn't as slick over fences but is in form and should win this if his stamina holds up. Has been costly to follow over fences but has strong credentials and can collect now.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 +31%) Patter Merchant	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(5) Patter Merchant 9/2, Yard won this last year. Ran a bit below form up in class when comfortably held in a beginners' chase at Leopardstown last time. Effective at 2½m but best around 3m; can do better over fences now stepped up in trip. Went close in a weaker contest at Fairyhouse; failed to build on that at Leopardstown.
4	4 4th (4) (80/1 +0%) Kings Hill	80 80/1(+0%)	(4) Kings Hill 80/1, Outpaced and needed the run when a 48l third in a beginners' chase at Leopardstown most recently. Effective over 2½m; should improve over fences when stepped up in trip in handicaps. Not in the same league as several of these as a hurdler, never a threat on chasing debut.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 +44%) Ballybow	9 9/1(+44%)	(1) Ballybow 9/1, Yard won this last year. Made mistakes and failed to build on his debut when comfortably held in a beginners' chase here last time. Effective at 3m; a useful hurdler who will need further over fences. Unplaced on both chase starts, looks significantly inferior to stablemate Wingmen.
6th	9 6th (9) (66/1 -100%) Yoradreamer	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Yoradreamer 66/1, Below form on chase debut when fourth, beaten 36l, in a beginners' chase at Wexford latest. The trainer is in form. Effective over 2–2½m, prefers a sound surface, and acts on yielding ground. Needs positive handling and may not be the stable's main hope. Maiden hurdle winner last summer, absent remote fourth on chase debut at Wexford in July.
7	7 \|F\| (7) (6/1 +14%) Spread Boss Ted	6 6/1(+14%)	(7) Spread Boss Ted 6/1, Ran a bit freely but to form when comfortably held in the Rathbarry & Glenview Studs Hurdle (Grade 2) at Fairyhouse last time. In good form prior; effective from 2½–3m and handles any ground. Has had issues but talented and a threat if fit for chase debut. Fourth in the Albert Bartlett in 2024, interesting chase prospect if he can recapture form.

SLADE STEEL was a smart novice over hurdles, winning the Supreme at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival, and should gain a belated first success over fences. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding was placed twice last term and was absent for a year until again filling the runner-up spot behind Predators Gold over the extended 2m4f here last month, with Wingmen 10 lengths back in third. Spread Boss Ted was a useful stayer over hurdles but has obviously had training issues, while Patter Merchant's second to Flicker Of Hope at Fairyhouse has been advertised since.

Although SLADE STEEL is becoming expensive to follow, no fault can be attached to his Punchestown exit and he is worth another chance

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (7/4 +68%) Brown Boots	1.75 7/4(+68%)	(9) Brown Boots 7/4, Outpaced but ran to form when beaten 10l in a Clonmel handicap hurdle last time. Effective around 2½m and handles softer ground. Needs more to get off the mark but may stay even further and open to improvement now chasing. UR in sole point; stayed on over shorter last time, this trip can help on chase debut.
2	11 2nd (11) (13/2 +7%) Duce Bigalow	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(11) Duce Bigalow 13/2, Went clear early and went too fast when comfortably held in a Punchestown handicap chase last time. Effective at 2-2½m and worth another chance in handicaps off a low mark. Best run from nine starts under Rules came on penultimate; well beaten latest.
3	8 3rd (8) (5/1 +44%) Plain Or Battered	5 5/1(+44%)	(8) Plain Or Battered 5/1, May have found the ground too quick and went too freely when down the field in a Thurles handicap chase last time. Effective at 3m and suited by cut in the ground; form remains inconsistent. Encouraging third at Punchestown on hvy, but below best latest; not ruled out back on soft.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 -23%) Smackwater Jack	8 8/1(-23%)	(5) Smackwater Jack 8/1, Outpaced and in need of a stiffer test when comfortably held in a Limerick handicap chase last time. Effective from 2½m to 3m and acts on any ground. Very well treated on old form, though inconsistent lately; longer trip should help. Dual winning hurdler was well supported back chasing last time but made little impression.
5th	3 5th (3) (18/1 -29%) Butty O Brien	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) Butty O Brien 18/1, Pulled up in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle on return from a long layoff. Effective around 2½m and handles yielding or heavy ground. Needs to prove ability remains after the lengthy absence. Added second hurdles win here in Jan' 2024 but PU on return from 434 days off latest.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/2 -38%) Made In The Woods	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(7) Made In The Woods 11/2, Ran to form when just tiring late on after a break, beaten 7½l in a Clonmel handicap hurdle last time. Effective at 3m and though inconsistent, he could build on that latest effort. May come on for 7.5l sixth at Clonmel, although he was fancied in the market.
7th	14 7th (14) (12/1 +14%) Fox Le Bel	12 12/1(+14%)	(14) Fox Le Bel 12/1, Found little when comfortably held in a Tramore handicap chase last time. Effective at 3m and acts with cut. Consistent prior to his break but still a maiden with questionable temperament. Winless from 33 attempts and three runs following an absence have been discouraging.
8th	13 8th (13) (33/1 -18%) Spanish Maid	33 33/1(-18%)	(13) Spanish Maid 33/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 20l, in a Fairyhouse handicap chase last time. Freshened up since and wants some cut in the ground, but remains out of form. 17-race maiden and yet to trouble the judge in six chase starts; hard to fancy.
12	12 \|U\| (12) (15/2 +6%) Connemara Shore	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(12) Connemara Shore 15/2, Made mistakes and weakened quickly when down the field in a Limerick handicap hurdle last time. Effective at 2½m. A point winner who has yet to show anything under rules. Point winner has yet to show much in 7 starts under Rules; makes chasing debut.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (25/1 -56%) Le Grand Vert	25 25/1(-56%)	(2) Le Grand Vert 25/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the shorter trip when well beaten in a Down Royal handicap chase last time. Effective at 3m and prefers some ease in the ground. Well handicapped on old form but struggling of late; conditions should suit this time. Mixed bag since Ayr win in March; failed to complete twice before 32l defeat latest.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (33/1 -136%) North Of Nashville	33 33/1(-136%)	(1) North Of Nashville 33/1, Unsuited by the drop in trip on her return to rules, finishing well beaten in a handicap chase at Punchestown last time. Effective at 3m and should come on for the run now stepped back up in distance. Lightly raced since 3m Wexford win in 2023; chance at her best.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (50/1 +0%) Buckaway Freddie	50 50/1(+0%)	(4) Buckaway Freddie 50/1, Unseated rider in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time and wears a hood for the first time. Effective at 2m and acts with cut, but has struggled in handicaps so far over hurdles. Up against it on chase debut. Struggled in 4 starts for current trainer, but may do better over fences with headgear on.

MADE IN THE WOODS won over a similar trip at Limerick for Norman Lee and again made a bold bid from the front when beaten a neck by Maciver at the same venue last March. He only weakened in the Clonmel straight over hurdles on his first start for Mick Winters and, with the benefit of that outing, should give a good account. Plain Or Battered stays well and was placed behind A Great Buzz in a similar Punchestown event on his penultimate start. Brown Boots has indicated some ability in handicap hurdles, including when staying on into fifth over 2m4f at Clonmel last week, and could be suited by the step up in trip as he switches to fences.

A bit of a minefield, but perhaps point runner-up DUCE BIGALOW can improve for this step up in trip

2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 -33%) Low Kick	3 3/1(-33%)	(3) Low Kick 3/1, From a yard that won this last year; keen and not clear run when a promising 2l third in an Amateurs' bumper at Aintree; effective at 2m, acts on good ground, and should improve with experience. The one to beat on form. Beaten favourite in a British point before a promising third in a bumper at Aintree.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +57%) Liskeveen	3 3/1(+57%)	(2) Liskeveen 3/1, Crystal Ocean gelding; half-brother to Get Up Mush, useful at 25f. Stable gets first time out winners in both codes; very interesting. Has a decent pedigree and may challenge for a share of the money on debut.

8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 +0%) Any News For Me	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Any News For Me 50/1, Outpaced and modest on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Leopardstown on only start; may need a trip beyond 2m in time. Met some interference off the home turn first time out at Leopardstown, may improve.

THE IRISH AVATAR was second on his only point-to-point start for Colin Bowe at Dromahane last April and that race has thrown up a number of winners. The Poet's Word gelding, out of a Grade 2 winner, was subsequently snapped up for 200,000 pounds to join the champion trainer. Low Kick didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when placed in an Aintree bumper for Jack Teal last spring and was purchased by for 170,000 pounds shortly afterwards. Liskeveen hails from a yard that has won eight bumpers in the past six months, and the Crystal Ocean gelding is a half-brother to three winners.

Both top stables have a recruit here. THE IRISH AVATOR, second at Dromahane for Colin Bowe, gets the vote over Low Kick

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.
