13:40 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (6/4 +40%) Honesty Policy	1.5 6/4(+40%)	(9) Honesty Policy 6/4, Points runner-up who came in a promising second of 21 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, heavy) on NH debut 35 days ago, closing all way to line. Sure to improve. Leading player. Stable selected, good chance of going one better than on hurdling debut at Naas.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +0%) Come Walk With Me	3 3/1(+0%)	(3) Come Walk With Me 3/1, Twice-raced maiden. 17/2, good second of 12 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 39 days ago. Back down in trip and well in the mix. Confirmed the promise of a C&D fifth when second to an odds-on chance at Fairyhouse..
3	14 3rd (14) (12/1 0%) St Cuthbert's Cave	12 12/1(0%)	(14) St Cuthbert's Cave 12/1, Fair hurdler. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good fourth of 21 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Naas (16f, heavy) 35 days ago. Solid form claims. Fair fourth at 33-1 in a 2m maiden at Naas last time, held by stablemate Honesty Policy.
4	8 4th (8) (33/1 0%) Harry's Legacy	33 33/1(0%)	(8) Harry's Legacy 33/1, Fair Flat winner for Henry De Bromhead but pulled up at Downpatrick on sole hurdles outing. Plenty more required for his new yard. Two turf wins for Henry de Bromhead in 2022, lost action and pulled up on only hurdles run.
5th	10 5th (10) (8/1 0%) Icare D'aubrelle	8 8/1(0%)	(10) Icare D'aubrelle 8/1, Lightly-raced bumper winner. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, heavy, 7/2) 35 days ago though so needs to bounce back. Seems to have had training issues, hard to be confident after Naas failure five weeks ago.
6th	4 6th (4) (16/1 +0%) Fierce Handay	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) Fierce Handay 16/1, €34,000 3-y-o, Doyen gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3m) Colonial Dreams. Yard having good spell. Considered newcomer. Ran in a point-to-point last season, may need to pick up hurdling experience.
7th	13 7th (13) (4/1 -33%) Salt Bay	4 4/1(-33%)	(13) Salt Bay 4/1, Very useful on Flat for Ralph Beckett and fifth in St Simon Stakes at Newbury (12f) in October. Interesting hurdling debutant. Very useful 108-rated Flat performer though 0-10 in stakes races, mixed form last season.
8th	5 8th (5) (150/1 -50%) Glenashling	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Glenashling 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 100/1) 45 days ago. Half-brother to Champion Chase winner Special Tiara, never involved at Leopardstown.
9th	2 9th (2) (200/1 -203%) Chisum	200 200/1(-203%)	(2) Chisum 200/1, Conduit gelding. Dam, ran once over hurdles/once in bumper, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 33f) Firebird Flyer. Dam showed nothing in two starts but is a half-sister to several useful winners..
11	11 \|U\| (11) (125/1 -525%) Journey So Far	125 125/1(-525%)	(11) Journey So Far 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in novice hurdle (3/1) at Gowran (16f, soft) on NH debut 17 days ago. Should progress. Promise in a point, faded tamely from two out when 3-1 chance on hurdling debut at Gowran.
10th	6 10th (6) (200/1 -203%) Glens Sensation	200 200/1(-203%)	(6) Glens Sensation 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Fairyhouse (16.2f, soft) 24 days ago. Point winner for Colin Bowe in 2023, down the field on his first two starts over hurdles.
11th	12 11th (12) (250/1 -67%) Ri An Chnoic	250 250/1(-67%)	(12) Ri An Chnoic 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, eighteenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 15 days ago. From a family associated with staying chasers, struggled in two Fairyhouse runs last month.
12th	15 12th (15) (50/1 -52%) Fortunes Told	50 50/1(-52%)	(15) Fortunes Told 50/1, Soldier of Fortune mare. Sister to fair hurdler Jack In The Box, and half-sister to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/very smart chaser Gold Present. Considered newcomer. Dam has a solid record at stud, trainer has four runners including two with decent form.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (200/1 -100%) Grandioso	200 200/1(-100%)	(7) Grandioso 200/1, €28,000 3-y-o, Ol' Man River gelding. Dam, ran once in bumper, half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (probably stayed 25f) Hardline. Market can guide. Dam who ran only once is a half-sister to the smart Hardline and the useful Whatdeawant.

COME WALK WITH ME showed promise on debut behind Jasmin De Vaux over C&D before giving the long odds-on Sounds Victorius a fright when runner-up over 2m4f at Fairyhouse. The pair pulled clear of the remainder and the form looks solid as the winner was far from disgraced subsequently in a Leopardstown Grade 1. Salt Bay was a smart sort on the Flat and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market on hurdle debut. Honesty Policy made a bright start under Rules when beating all bar the favourite Joystick in a 21-runner Naas maiden with stablemate St Cuthbert's Cave over five lengths back in fourth. Icare D'aubrelle ran too bad to be true in that 2m event when dropping out tamely in the straight, but the form of his previous third to Sky Lord at Cork has worked out well.

HONESTY POLICY shaped really well when a debut second in a big-field Naas novice and is fancied to build on it and go one better here. Henry de Bromhead's hurdling debutant Salt Bay was a very useful performer on the Flat though so should ensure Gordon Elliott's 5-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Come Walk With Me, Icare d'Aubrelle and St Cuthbert's Cave can fight it out for minor honours.

Noteworthy recruit Salt Bay may not cope with HONESTY POLICY who made an encouraging start to his hurdling career at Naas

13:40 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Navan Maiden Hurdle 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (15/8 +6%) Tareze	1.875 15/8(+6%)	(5) Tareze 15/8, Resumed with victory at Clonmel and backed it up with a very good 3½ lengths second of 10 to Hey Sunshine in listed hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, soft, 5/2) 61 days ago. Leading form claims. Confirmed last season's promise with Clonmel maiden win, big chance on Punchestown running.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 -25%) Blue Mosque	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) Blue Mosque 5/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 6/5, good second of 4 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, soft) 19 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Stable having good spell. Likely player back up in trip. Limitations exposed since Cork maiden win, jumping was an issue at Down Royal.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/4 +36%) Just For Love	1.75 7/4(+36%)	(1) Just For Love 7/4, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable 4¾ lengths third of 6 to Pray Tell in Grade 3 hurdle at Cork (24.4f, soft, 11/4) 63 days ago. Can give a good account. Stays further than this though the extended 3m stretched her stamina at Cork, good chance.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +6%) Grainne A Chroi	8 8/1(+6%)	(3) Grainne A Chroi 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/2, career best when winning 13-runner novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.9f, soft) 25 days ago, easily. Open to more progress so needs considering. Won a 2m1f Clonmel maiden in good style, a lot more on her plate now, should stay 2m4f.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -13%) Workinonadream	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Workinonadream 18/1, Fair hurdler who finally got off the mark in 10-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 24 days ago. This demands more however. Reliable sort who was a deserving maiden winner on latest, likely to find a few too good.
6th	4 6th (4) (12/1 -20%) Magic Boum	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Magic Boum 12/1, Course debut winner but only fourth of 6 in minor event hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.5f, soft, 5/1) 39 days ago. Up in trip. Remains with potential. Beat an exposed horse in a C&D maiden, needs to jump more cleanly than at Fairyhouse.

BLUE MOSQUE won a Naas bumper last spring on soft ground and made a successful start over hurdles when reappearing in a 2m4f Cork maiden. He was soundly beaten subsequently here in a Grade 3 before finishing well last time behind Disco Dancer over 2m1f at Down Royal. The winner franked the form when placed last weekend in a valuable handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival. Wide-margin Clonmel winner Tareze holds strong claims, but it's a concern that her trainer hasn't been in the best of form since finishing second in a 2m3f Punchestown Listed race in December. Just For Love is a consistent sort and drops in trip having been placed last time in a 3m Cork Grade 3.

TAREZE arrives on the up so is taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of her very good Punchestown second in listed company. Blue Mosque is next on the list with this return to further a likely plus, although both Grainne A Chroi and Magic Boum offer potential for improvement and can't be discounted.

Second to a 128-rated Willie Mullins-trained mare at Punchestown, TAREZE is slightly preferred to the same trainer's Just For Love

14:10 Navan Maiden Hurdle 20f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:40 Navan Conditions Hurdle 22f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +38%) Maxxum	4 4/1(+38%)	(3) Maxxum 4/1, Smart hurdler. C&D winner. 9/1, shaped better than result when 9¾ lengths sixth of 9 to Rocky's Diamond in John Mulhern Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran (24.3f, soft) 17 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Boasts high-class handicap form, well held by Thedevilscoachman on Gowran running.
2	6 2nd (6) (15/8 +17%) Thedevilscoachman	1.875 15/8(+17%)	(6) Thedevilscoachman 15/8, Smart hurdler. Course winner. 28/1, creditable 1¼ lengths second of 9 to Rocky's Diamond in John Mulhern Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran (24.3f, soft) 17 days ago, not ideally placed. Leading claims. Won this race in 2022, made a bright start to the season at Gowran, leading chance.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/1 -33%) Farren Glory	8 8/1(-33%)	(1) Farren Glory 8/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in chase at Naas in November. 11/2, 11¾ lengths third of 4 to Lecky Watson in Grade 3 chase at Punchestown (19.4f, heavy) 28 days ago. Has to give weight away back hurdling but can still figure. Last season's Royal Bond winner, has been chasing, vulnerable with 9lb Grade 1 penalty.
4	2 4th (2) (33/1 -65%) Busselton	33 33/1(-65%)	(2) Busselton 33/1, Fairly useful chaser. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, creditable sixth of 15 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (29.2f, good to soft) 58 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Much better known as a chaser, has been running in cross-country races, limited appeal.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 +25%) Meet And Greet	3 3/1(+25%)	(4) Meet And Greet 3/1, Useful hurdler. Won 5-runner minor event hurdle (9/1) at Limerick (20f, soft) 44 days ago. Second in this race in 2023, Limerick win at Christmas proves that he retains ability.
6th	5 6th (5) (12/1 -167%) Minella Indo	12 12/1(-167%)	(5) Minella Indo 12/1, Very smart chaser. Eight wins from 25 NH runs. 4/1, respectable 2¼ lengths second of 7 to French Dynamite in Gade 3 chase at Punchestown (23.2f, good) on reappearance in October. Might find this test a bit sharp back hurdling for the first time since 2019. 2021 Cheltenham Gold winner retains ability and enthusiasm, capable of a bold showing.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (9/1 0%) Riviere D'etel	9 9/1(0%)	(7) Riviere D'etel 9/1, Useful chaser. 4/1, fell in Grade 3 mares event at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft) 39 days ago won by Allegorie De Vassy. Switches from chase to hurdles. Better chaser than hurdler, two hurdles run this term short of the standard needed here.

MINELLA INDO is certainly in the veteran category now but retains plenty of ability as evidenced by his third in the Grand National last April. The 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner made a pleasing return at Punchestown, and this looks a reasonable opportunity on his first run over hurdles since winning two Grade 1 races as a novice nearly six years ago. Thedevilscoachman ran a cracker on his reappearance when second to Rocky's Diamond in the Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle over 3m at Gowran, with Maxxum over eight lengths behind in sixth. Noel Meade's charge is not the most consistent performer while Meet And Greet is preferred to Farren Glory, who faces a stiff task with a 9lb penalty on his return to hurdles.

THEDEVILSCOACHMAN is the one to beat if he can reproduce last month's Galmoy Hurdle form at Gowran. Maxxum was over 8 lengths behind the selection on that occasion but can get closer now and provide the chief threat ahead of stablemate Farren Glory.

Winner of this race in 2022, THEDEVILCOACHMAN (nap) looks poised to repeat that success after putting in a good late effort at Gowran.

14:40 Navan Conditions Hurdle 22f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:12 Navan Handicap Hurdle 22f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (11/1 -22%) Waittillitellyou	11 11/1(-22%)	(1) Waittillitellyou 11/1, Course winner. 10/3, bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.3f, heavy). Off 10 months. Won a division of this race in 2022 and has top conditional booked. Veteran who ran well in defeat last season; conditions in his favour but off 325 days.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/4 +45%) Coffeys Forge	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(10) Coffeys Forge 11/4, First run since leaving Patrick Gerard Ryan when good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (20f, soft, 11/2) 25 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Lightly raced for his age and early days with top yard. Point winner; back on track on yard debut and may have finished closer without errors.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/2 +30%) Comeonarchie	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(9) Comeonarchie 7/2, 3/1, again ran creditably when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (22f, soft) 27 days ago. Not discounted. 2nd in 2 Punchestown runs either side of Christmas; in better form than most of these.
4	3 4th (3) (33/1 -32%) Nathan Wells	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) Nathan Wells 33/1, 20/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) 44 days ago, mistake 4 out. Significantly up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Hard to fancy on recent efforts. Promising h'cap debut but lost his way since; new trip and blinkers need to spark revival.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 -27%) Tell Nobody Nothin	7 7/1(-27%)	(2) Tell Nobody Nothin 7/1, Promising sort. Sixth of 16 in novice chase (2/1) at Gowran (20f, good) on debut over fences 92 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Remains with potential back hurdling. Progressive over timber before low-key chase debut; new trip likely to suit; cheekpieces.
6th	5 6th (5) (5/1 +29%) Not My Problem	5 5/1(+29%)	(5) Not My Problem 5/1, Placed in big-field contests 2 starts before pulling up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24.5f, soft) 39 days ago. In the mix if able to bounce back quickly. Good runs at Punchestown this winter; pulled up on softer ground either side of those runs.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 +44%) Cooltubrid Eva	14 14/1(+44%)	(6) Cooltubrid Eva 14/1, 25/1, seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft) 23 days ago. Still looks too high in the weights. 2nd in maiden hurdle on debut; struggled since but minor signs of a revival last time.
8th	12 8th (12) (66/1 -32%) Kyle Valley	66 66/1(-32%)	(12) Kyle Valley 66/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Hard to fancy. Dual point winner; shown nothing under rules so far and pulled up in h'caps last twice.
8	8 \|U\| (8) (13/2 +28%) The Miracle Man	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(8) The Miracle Man 13/2, Much improved after rejoining this yard when winning in hurdle at Sligo in October. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fell in novice chase at Cork (20f, soft) 23 days ago. Merits consideration if none the worse. Mixed bag in last 12 months but won when last seen over timber and new trip may suit.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (16/1 -129%) Pointe A Pitre	16 16/1(-129%)	(7) Pointe A Pitre 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Suprassed previous efforts when fifth of 10 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft, 50/1) 24 days ago, well positioned. Now has to back that up sent handicapping. Showed little prior to maiden hurdle 5th latest; up in trip for h'cap debut; workable mark.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (22/1 -57%) Wrecking Ball Paul	22 22/1(-57%)	(4) Wrecking Ball Paul 22/1, 5/1, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 23 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last hurdle outing but not fully discounted if back to best. Well below best on Flat of late and finished tailed off when last seen over timber.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (50/1 -25%) Famous Sonnet	50 50/1(-25%)	(11) Famous Sonnet 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1, creditable sixth of 11 in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, soft) 23 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Difficult ask. Has shown very little at huge prices in maiden hurdles since joining this yard.

Point-to-point winner COFFEYS FORGE appeals in this weak contest. He ran a fine race to finish third on his first start for Gordon Elliott at Clonmel last month and he may appreciate this step up in trip. Ultimately disappointing since finishing third on debut, Elliott also saddles Nathan Wells who is tried in blinkers for the first time. Cheekpieces are deployed on Tell Nobody Nothin, who reverts to hurdles after a below-par effort at Gowran in November. Out of Bonny Kate, a Grade 2 winner over fences, the Noel Meade-trained five-year-old should be able to make his presence felt. Second on recent starts at Punchestown, Comeonarchie is sure to have plenty of supporters, while handicap debutant Pointe A Pitre and Ross O'Sullivan's Not My Problem are other leading hopes.

COFFEYS FORGE ran well on his debut for Gordon Elliott last month and it's not inconceivable that he'll do better still now with a top trainer. Tiernan Power Roche is an eye-catching booking aboard the returning Waittillitellyou, who won a division of this contest last year, whilst Tell Nobody Nothin remains with potential making the quick switch back to hurdling.

This might be a good opportunity for THE MIRACLE MAN who made a winning start for this yard and will appreciate the return to hurdles

15:45 Navan Maiden Chase 24f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (1/2 +13%) Better Days Ahead	0.5 1/2(+13%)	(3) Better Days Ahead 1/2, Promising type. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 10/11, head second of 4 to Croke Park in Fort Leney Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 45 days ago, just failing. May well do better again and big shout. Martin Pipe winner, went close against the smart Croke Park last time, sets the standard.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 -18%) Stellar Story	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(1) Stellar Story 13/2, Smart hurdler. Smart winner at 24f over hurdles. 11/4, well-beaten last of 4 to Croke Park in Fort Leney Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, good to soft) 45 days ago. Albert Bartlett winner, tailed off in Leopardstown race when Better Days Ahead was second.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +22%) Three Card Brag	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(5) Three Card Brag 7/2, Smart chaser. Didn't need to be at best when winning 11-runner novice chase at this course (24f, soft, 3/1) 22 days ago, driven out. Needs considering. Smart second-season novice, C&D winner last month, Better Days Ahead appears superior.
4	2 4th (2) (300/1 -20%) Arctic Skua	300 300/1(-20%)	(2) Arctic Skua 300/1, Winning pointer but little promise in chases (way out of depth last time). Well exposed point-to-pointer, lost touch from halfway in Grade 1 event at Leopardstown.
4	4 \|U\| (4) (10/1 +9%) Chosen Witness	10 10/1(+9%)	(4) Chosen Witness 10/1, Useful hurdler. Third of 9 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft, 16/1) 39 days ago. Useful hurdler, can win races over fences, not a likely threat to the Elliott trio here.

Gordon Elliott saddles three of the five and it'll come as a surprise if one of them doesn't prevail. Beaten by just a head when last seen in Grade 1 company, Better Days Ahead is understandably the choice of Sam Ewing. While 6lb inferior to his aforementioned rival on official ratings, THREE CARD BRAG is the selection. A real stayer, he deservedly made the breakthrough over fences last month and is taken to follow up now. The winner of the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham last year, Stellar Story is the other Elliott representative. As a Grade 2 winner over fences, he carries a 5lb penalty and is on a retrieval mission after disappointing when last seen at Leopardstown.

BETTER DAYS AHEAD only just failed in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown last time and is fancied to make amends. His stablemate Three Card Brag is a likeable sort and is feared most.

Gordon Elliott's trio can dominate. BETTER DAYS AHEAD went close in a Grade 1 at Christmas and gets the vote over Three Card Brag

16:20 Navan Handicap Chase 24f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (14/1 0%) Gringo D'aubrelle	14 14/1(0%)	(4) Gringo D'aubrelle 14/1, Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Punchestown (22.7f, heavy, 11/1) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Encouraging novice hurdle campaign but missed 3 years and not shown enough since.
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +0%) Verdant Place	4 4/1(+0%)	(3) Verdant Place 4/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 9 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.9f, soft, 3/1) 29 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Merits consideration. Beat Salmanino here before running well when 3rd in novice since; ground the big question.
2	13 2nd (13) (6/1 +33%) Low Style	6 6/1(+33%)	(13) Low Style 6/1, Highly promising type. Fair winner at 15f over hurdles. Third of 11 in novice chase (20/1) at Punchestown (22.7f, heavy) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap chase debut. Should do much better. Just 3 runs in 2 years and only a very distant 3rd in beginners' latest; needs a lot more.
3	6 3rd (6) (17/2 +6%) Prince Palace	8.5 17/2(+6%)	(6) Prince Palace 17/2, Fell in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, good to soft, 6/1) 19 days ago. 0-12 and fell early last time; hadn't shaped like his turn was near previously.
4	9 4th (9) (25/1 0%) Harvey's Quay	25 25/1(0%)	(9) Harvey's Quay 25/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (22/1) at Fairyhouse (26f, soft) 15 days ago, weakening when pulled up before last. Has failed to complete last 3; on last winning mark and ground fine but others preferred.
5th	1 5th (1) (40/1 -60%) Street Value	40 40/1(-60%)	(1) Street Value 40/1, Blinkered for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap chase at Cork (20f, soft, 16/1) 23 days ago. Shown nothing in 3 starts this term and was in poor form at the back end of last season.
6th	11 6th (11) (5/1 +50%) Rusheen	5 5/1(+50%)	(11) Rusheen 5/1, Bit below form eighth of 19 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (26f, soft, 9/2) 15 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Encouraging return before Limerick 2nd in Dec' but didn't jump well when tailed off since.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/2 +40%) Whateys Quest	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(7) Whateys Quest 9/2, Latest win in chase at Limerick in December. Hampered and unseated rider in handicap chase (7/1) at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly. Appreciated step back up in trip to win over Christmas; badly hampered by faller since.
8th	5 8th (5) (16/1 +20%) Clonmeen	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Clonmeen 16/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, good to soft, 16/1) 19 days ago. Hasn't shown a lot this term but hasn't had his ground and he's back on last winning mark.
9th	10 9th (10) (17/2 +15%) Silver King	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(10) Silver King 17/2, Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, good to soft, 15/2) 19 days ago. 2nd to The Other Mozzie at Naas but that was over 2m and not as good over 3m since.
10th	14 10th (14) (33/1 -32%) Malton Groove	33 33/1(-32%)	(14) Malton Groove 33/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. 25/1, ninth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, soft) 22 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others more persuasive. 0-16; beaten a long way out on return and return to further may not suit./.
11th	8 11th (8) (15/2 +25%) Wine An Dine	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(8) Wine An Dine 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, respectable fifth of 19 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (26f, soft) 15 days ago. Came on from return with narrow defeat but not as good over 3m2f latest; stiff mark.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (17/2 -70%) Salmanino	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(2) Salmanino 17/2, Still in the mix when falling 4 out in handicap chase at Punchestown (22.7f, heavy, 9/2) 28 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Failed to complete in 3 of last 4 but went close over C&D on penultimate outing.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (25/1 +0%) Weihnachts	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Weihnachts 25/1, 12/1, fourth of 6 in handicap chase at Limerick (22.6f, soft) 44 days ago. 4th chase success at Down Royal last season and likely to have needed return; interesting.

Out of action for well over two years, GRINGO D'AUBRELLE hasn't shown a whole lot since his November return. Bought for 270,000 euro after winning a point-to-point on debut, he held his own over flights, finishing third at the highest level in the Challow Hurdle of 2021. Off an initial mark of 116, he finished fourth of eight on his handicap debut over fences at Fairyhouse last month and fitted with cheekpieces for the first time now, it'll be interesting to see how he fares. A fast finishing second at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start, Elliott saddles another leading contender in the shape of Wine An Dine. First and second over the course and distance last month, Verdant Place and Salmanino are both likely to have plenty of supporters, while Limerick winner Whateys Quest is another for the shortlist.

LOW STYLE showed more than previously in this sphere upped in trip when third at Punchestown 4 weeks ago and could be one to keep an eye on back in handicap company. Salmanino and Verdant Place head the dangers.

This can go the way of SALMANINO who went close over C&D behind Verdant Place and can reverse form on this sort of ground

A 125,000-euro purchase at the Tattersalls Derby Sale, BURROWS DRIVE finished third on debut at Punchestown in April of last year, just a neck behind Colcannon. That form reads very well now, with the latter successful in a Grade 2 at the Dublin Racing Festival last weekend. A half-brother to four winners, the bay selection should give a good account of himself in what looks an open affair. Saddling both Coyote Spirit and newcomer Returning Officer, Gordon Elliott again appears to have strong claims. Previously trained by Finbar Hand, the former finished second to an Elliott runner over the course and distance in December and was subsequently purchased by current connections. Point-to-point recruits Frankie John and Noticebox both warrant the utmost respect, with the latter bought for 80,000 pounds after falling at the last when narrowly headed at Ballyknock last season. While not making much appeal on breeding, Copacabana is of automatic interest given connections, while Mount Mason is another for the shortlist.

An interesting bumper. COYOTE SPIRIT should have more to come having switched to Gordon Elliott since finishing second over C&D in December and gets the nod, although a strong market move for the Willie Mullins newcomer Copacabana would put a slightly different slant on things. Expensive point recruit Frankie John is another fascinating contender.

A chance is taken on the fitness of BURROWS DRIVE who ran a cracker at big odds when last seen and the form is working out

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.
