HYGGE has been placed on both outings in academy hurdles and may have been found a good opportunity to open his account. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding was third behind Minella Yoga (won again since) on testing ground at Fairyhouse and filled the same spot behind stablemate Lynches Knock at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival. On a line through that winner, he should have the beating of Moulin Labbe, who won a French bumper in good style but weakened before the last when switched to hurdles at Naas. Crooked Path has plenty of experience over hurdles and appears effective on varying ground conditions.

French bumper winner MOULIN LABBE raced keenly on Irish debut behind a couple of stablemates. He can do better now with Townend aboard

Flat winner remains a m'den over hurdles despite some good efforts in defeat; in the mix.

3	7 3rd (7) (9/4 +78%) Shadys Lady	2.25 9/4(+78%)	(7) Shadys Lady 9/4, Went clear, improved from debut up in trip but probably ridden too aggressively when fourth beaten 24l in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown latest; effective at 2m-2m3f, acts with cut; bumper winner likely capable of better again.

GALILEO DAME is a smart dual-purpose mare and can gain an overdue win over hurdles. She was placed twice at Listed level on the Flat and beat all bar Hello Neighbour in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival last year. She went close when reverting to timber over 2m4f at Limerick over Christmas and should be suited by this drop back to 2m. Royal Hillsborough has strong form in bumpers and was unfortunate in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown when her rider misjudged the winning post. The Dotski caught the eye staying on late on debut at Fairyhouse and may prove more of a threat than Shadys Lady and Sound Judgement.

Unfortunate not to win a Gr.2 bumper last time, ROYAL HILLSBOROUGH (nap) can make a winning start over hurdles

6th	5 6th (5) (100/1 -525%) Silver Salute	100 100/1(-525%)	(5) Silver Salute 100/1, Yard won this last year; outpaced, modest debut down the field in a graduation hurdle at Punchestown most recent; effective 2m; debut form strong, must bounce back on handicap debut. Placed in points; okay effort on hurdling debut but poor since; check market for h'cap bow.

SHOWURAPPRECIATION was absent for nearly two years after winning a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle and has progressed well over fences this season. The Jonathan Sweeney-trained gelding scored in fine style over an extended 2m6f at Punchestown last month and is well treated compared to his revised chase mark of 126. Chosen Diamond won over a similar trip at Fairyhouse last year before finishing second in this race and has dropped down to a competitive mark. Lady Bluebird should benefit from a couple of outings this term and is now fitted with cheekpieces.

This can go to SHOWURAPPRECIATION who was a comfortable winner over fences last time and can now race off his lower hurdles mark

SAN HILARIO has been a model of consistency in handicaps and may open his account reverting to maiden company. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding filled the runner-up spot for the third time this term when beating all bar Powerful over an extended 2m4f at Punchestown. The biggest threat may emerge from bumper winner Hens Tooth, who should benefit from a couple of hurdle outings this term, ahead of the lightly-raced Nopresentliketime.

ROYAL GLADIATOR was a runner-up behind smart prospect Oh My Word on rules' debut and posted another solid effort over hurdles last time

3	3 (3) (4/6 0%) Jacob's Ladder	0.666667 4/6(0%)	(3) Jacob's Ladder 4/6, Improved back down in trip on handicap debut when winning Barberstown Castle Handicap Chase (Listed) at Leopardstown by 5l last time; effective 2-2 1/2m with cut; progressing over fences, worth step up in class. Made a stylish entry to handicap company at the DRF, can continue on an upward curve.
4	4 (4) (3/1 +40%) Lovely Hurling	3 3/1(+40%)	(4) Lovely Hurling 3/1, Improved from debut when second beaten 14l in a beginners chase chase at Leopardstown latest; off a short-break; placed at top level over hurdles; effective 2 1/2m; should improve when upped in trip but stiff track will suit over this distance. Solid form in defeat since his maiden hurdle win, will get easier opportunities than this.
2	2 (2) (50/1 -100%) Intense Approach	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Intense Approach 50/1, Unseated in a handicap chase at Musselburgh latest; form of debut win has been boosted; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by good; must bounce back and wouldn't want rain.

Likely to struggle in this grade, meets Jacob's Ladder on 35lb worse than handicap terms.

15:35 Navan (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

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

JACOB'S LADDER will relish testing conditions and is taken to follow up a valuable handicap chase success in Leopardstown at the start of the month. He was notably strong in the closing stages of that contest, drawing five lengths clear, and this is a good trip for him. Lovely Hurling was Grade 1-placed over flights and although he was beaten a fair way into second in two beginners chases, the winners of those races are classy sorts so he should be a contender. Port Joulain made all to score in a beginners chase at Fairyhouse and represents strong connections on this step up in class. Willie Mullins has won three of the last four renewals of this race.

An emphatic winner of of a big handicap at the DRF, JACOB'S LADDER has more than enough ability to win in this grade

16:08 Navan (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Gordon Elliott's FOUND A FIFTY is particularly effective in small-field Grade 2 assignments and looks the one to beat with a rating of 164. He was an honourable third at the highest level in Leopardstown and has had almost a month off from those exertions. His stablemate Better Days Ahead made a highly encouraging return to action when second in a Grade 2 over flights at this venue just under three weeks ago. Staying tests over fences are more his forte and his last couple of chase victories came at this track. Saint Sam enjoys racing at the head of affairs and this is his level, while James Du Berlais is weighted to have a say.

If restored to form after two below-par Leopardstown Grade 1 displays, FOUND A FIFTY should win this Elliott/Mullins showdown

SAVANTE could exploit her lower chase mark. She did very little wrong when runner-up in a valuable handicap hurdle over further in Leopardstown, when collared close home. That form looks strong as she was 15 lengths clear of the third. Sophia Rose gets first-time cheekpieces after a runner-up spot over a longer trip in Punchestown and has winning form over a similar distance from a maiden hurdle in Sligo last summer. Her stablemate Me Wee Bonnie Lass has a 7lb claimer on board to lessen her burden and she is capable of a good run in this company. Femme Magnifique is another in the mix for prize money.

The key players are SOPHIA ROSE and Savante. Preference is given to the former, following solid placed efforts over fences recently

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.
