1	1 1st (1) (4/6 +52%) Bleu De Vassy		0.666667 4/6(+52%)																															(1) Bleu De Vassy 4/6, Promising type. Career best when winning 9-runner novice hurdle (6/4) at Fairyhouse (18.5f, good) on hurdles bow 35 days ago, impressively. Obvious appeal. Jumped well for ready Fairyhouse maiden win; potentially smart novice.
2	4 2nd (4) (8/1 -7%) Mr Percy		8 8/1(-7%)																															(4) Mr Percy 8/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat. Won 17-runner novice hurdle (5/6) at Limerick (16.3f, good to soft) 28 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Open to improvement but this represents a significant step up in class. Limerick 4yo maiden winner type to keep improving and has to be respected.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 -20%) Patter Merchant		9 9/1(-20%)																															(6) Patter Merchant 9/1, Thrice-raced winner under Rules. Won 7-runner novice hurdle at Galway (21.4f, heavy, 9/4) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Back down in trip and open to progress. Bleu De Vassy appears to be the stable No 1 but he shouldn't be underestimated. Looked a stayer when winning at Galway so surprising he is dropped in trip here.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 -40%) Royal Hollow		14 14/1(-40%)																															(7) Royal Hollow 14/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable 3½ lengths second of 8 to Sansrisk in Grade 3 hurdle (4/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Not without each-way hope. Progressive mare; ground remaining in her favour and can't be ruled out.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 +18%) Helvic Dream		7 7/1(+18%)																															(2) Helvic Dream 7/1, Useful hurdler. Course winner. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, good second of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and he merits respect. Much better Flat performer but steadily improving hurdler; more on his plate here.
6th	3 6th (3) (125/1 -279%) Milo Lises		125 125/1(-279%)																															(3) Milo Lises 125/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Successful at Punchestown in February. Fell in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft, 16/5). Off 6 months ahead of this debut for new yard and he's opposable. Probably needs to improve to play a major role on yard debut and ideally wants it softer.
5	5 |PU| (5) (8/1 -60%) Mywayofthinkin		8 8/1(-60%)																															(5) Mywayofthinkin 8/1, Highly promising type. Won 15-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (16f, good to soft, 4/5) on hurdles bow 179 days ago, cosily. Should significantly improve. Well-bred Punchestown maiden winner a smart prospect but ideally might want further.

Gordon Elliott has won four of the last eight runnings of this race and BLEU DE VASSY can enhance that record. The Cokoriko gelding had some strong bumper form and made a stunning start to his hurdling career with a wide margin win at Fairyhouse last month. He will get further than this in time but looks to have the class to score at this trip. The well-bred Mywayofthinkin won his maiden hurdle at Punchestown in fine style and is open to plenty of improvement. He could be a danger. Mr Percy made up for unseating early first time over jumps with a good win at Limerick. He's another for the shortlist.

Having impressed on his hurdles debut at Fairyhouse last month, BLEU DE VASSY can be expected to take this step up in class in his stride. He may have most to fear from stable companion Patter Merchant, who also made a winning start in this sphere at Galway. Mywayofthinkin, another who is 1-1 over hurdles, is open to plenty of progress and he needs a second look, along with Helvic Dream.

A very open renewal in which maiden winners BLEU DE VASSY and Mywayofthinkin could be the ones to concentrate on

1	4 1st (4) (7/1 -75%) Home By The Lee		7 7/1(-75%)																															(4) Home By The Lee 7/1, Very smart hurdler. 16/1, respectable 7¼ lengths sixth of 14 to Losange Bleu in Grande Course de Haies d'Auteuil at Auteuil (25.4f, soft) in May. Back down in trip. Good form claims if close to best after 6 months off. Won this in 2022 and third last year; goes well fresh and should again be thereabouts.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/8 +21%) Bob Olinger		1.375 11/8(+21%)																															(2) Bob Olinger 11/8, High-class hurdler/chaser. Won this and the Grade 2 Relkeel at Cheltenham last season. Narrowly denied in Aintree Grade 1 final start. Should make a bold bid to defend his crown. Last year's winner on seasonal return looks the standout candidate again.
3	7 3rd (7) (40/1 +39%) Eagle Fang		40 40/1(+39%)																															(7) Eagle Fang 40/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Punchestown in May. 17/2, second of 4 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (18.4f, good) 32 days ago. Something to find at this level. Recent Punchestown second best run yet; first attempt at 2m4f and needs to improve again.
4	6 4th (6) (8/1 -7%) Zanahiyr		8 8/1(-7%)																															(6) Zanahiyr 8/1, Smart hurdler. Below form fifth of 17 in handicap chase at Listowel (23.8f, soft, 10/1) 52 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers on 1st time. The mount of Jack Kennedy from the yard's 4 runners. Last year's second to Bob Olinger; jumping awry in Kerry National latest and back hurdling.
5th	8 5th (8) (2/1 +50%) Jetara		2 2/1(+50%)																															(8) Jetara 2/1, Smart hurdler. Won a Limerick listed hurdle last month and followed up in a Flat maiden at the Curragh 13 days ago. Respected. In good form of late; handy weight and possible race-fitness advantage.
6th	3 6th (3) (8/1 +56%) Dawn Rising		8 8/1(+56%)																															(3) Dawn Rising 8/1, Smart form on the Flat since last seen over hurdles, winning a 2m Curragh Group 3 a couple of weeks ago. It'll be very interesting to see how he gets on back over timber. Recent Group 3 Flat winner; interesting contender on first hurdles run in 20 months.
7th	9 7th (9) (33/1 +0%) Royal Eagle		33 33/1(+0%)																															(9) Royal Eagle 33/1, Useful hurdler. 12/1, respectable 10 lengths second of 6 to Take No Chances in listed Mares' Hurdle at Wetherby (16f, good) 14 days ago, no match for winner. Step back up in trip should suit. Received 10lb when touched off by Jetara at Limerick so stiff task on level terms now.
8th	5 8th (5) (33/1 -175%) Maxxum		33 33/1(-175%)																															(5) Maxxum 33/1, Smart hurdler. 10/3, pulled up in minor event chase at Listowel (19f, good to soft) 166 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Needs a couple of these to falter. Out and out stayer so trip here looks on the short side.

BOB OLINGER opened his season on a bright note in this race last year and can make a winning start again. The classy Sholokhov gelding was a cosy winner 12 months ago and ended his campaign with an agonisingly narrow defeat by Impaire Et Passe in top level company at Aintree. He sets the standard here off his mark of 160. Home By The Lee hasn't much to find on the book getting a 5lb pull. He won this race a couple of years ago before finishing third to the selection 12 months ago. The mare Jetara comes here with a fitness advantage and gets 12lb from the selection. She could also play a big part.

BOB OLINGER can make a winning reappearance in this race for the second year running. Dawn Rising has developed into a smart performer on the Flat since winning a Grade 3 novice hurdle a couple of years ago and is second choice ahead of Jetara.

A good-class renewal with first three from last year in opposition, BOB OLINGER taken to confirm form

A cracking renewal with four Grade 1 winners lining up. FOUND A FIFTY has the fitness advantage and can make a mark now against seasoned performers. The Solskjaer gelding produced a fine weight carrying performance at Down Royal on his return a fortnight ago. Captain Guinness bids for a hat-trick in the race so commands utmost respect. He got his day in the sun when landing the Champion Chase back in March and has been a wonderfully consitent performer. He ended his season with a narrow defeat by Banbridge at Punchestown and that rival is another big player in a small but select field. Joseph O'Brien's charge showed he can operate at a high level over two miles that day.

GENTLEMAN DE MEE disappointed on his last 2 starts in the spring but a reproduction of his Queen Mother Champion Chase second at Cheltenham would make him the one to beat on these terms. Found A Fifty looks one to keep on side this winter after his winning comeback at Down Royal and is next best ahead of Banbridge and Captain Guinness, who were separated by only a neck in the Champion Chase at Punchestown.

With race-fitness in his favour, FOUND A FIFTY may take the measure of Captain Guinness who bids to win this for the third time

1	3 1st (3) (7/1 -75%) Down Memory Lane		7 7/1(-75%)																															(3) Down Memory Lane 7/1, Winning start over hurdles at Down Royal in November 2023. Absent since struggling in a Grade 1 at Leopardstown the following month but this former point winner is nevertheless very interesting now switched to fences. One of 3 representing the Gordon Elliott yard. Drinmore entry seemingly the pick of his owner's four runners here.

Good fourth of 30 in handicap at the Curragh (16.8f, good to soft, 5/1) 48 days ago, never nearer. One to be interested in on chase debut. Galway Hurdle winner an interesting recruit to chasing ranks and holds Drinmore entry.
4	8 4th (8) (11/2 +35%) Birdie Or Bust		5.5 11/2(+35%)																															(8) Birdie Or Bust 11/2, Useful hurdler. Good 3½ lengths third of 8 to Golden Ace in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle (10/1) at Cheltenham (16.8f, soft). Off 8 months ahead of this chase debut. Mark Walsh prefers Down Memory Lane. Grade 2-placed novice hurdler very interesting now switched to chasing; yard in fine form.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 -20%) Backtonormal		12 12/1(-20%)																															(1) Backtonormal 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Successful in a minor event in that sphere at Punchestown when last seen in April. Chase debut. Punchestown hurdles winner on yard debut in May; respected now going chasing.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 -175%) No Flies On Him		33 33/1(-175%)																															(6) No Flies On Him 33/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 15/2, pulled up in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft), pulled up before last. Makes chase debut. Initial hurdles promise last season wasn't built on; best watched here on chasing debut.
7th	2 7th (2) (66/1 -100%) Canal End		66 66/1(-100%)																															(2) Canal End 66/1, Promising type. 11/2, fifth of 9 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, good to soft) on debut over fences 21 days ago.

Long absent before recent chasing debut no show; may need more time.

The strong travelling KING OF KINGSFIELD hasn't always found the most off the bridle and fences may really suit him now. He won his point-to-point in facile fashion a couple of years ago and it will be interesting to see how the Grade 1 placed hurdler fares now that he turns his attention to chasing. Stablemate Down Memory Lane is one of four in JP McManus's colours and could be the danger. The Walk In The Park gelding lost his unbeaten record when a well-beaten third in Grade 1 company last Christmas but remains a lovely prospect for chasing. Galway Hurdle winner Nurburgring is another notable runner, trying fences for the first time.

DOWN MEMORY LANE remains a very nice prospect, despite his heavy defeat in a Leopardstown Grade 1 when last seen in December 2023. The 6-y-o was a wide-margin winner of his sole start between the flags and could be a very useful chaser in the making. Nurburgring and King of Kingsfield are feared most in that order of preference, while Backtonormal is also of interest.

A high-class looking beginners' chase in which Galway Hurdle winner NURBURGRING could stretch them all

Jockey bookings would suggest that WHINNEY HILL is the first choice from the Gigginstown pair and he can strike at the second time of asking on the track. The Jack Hobbs gelding ran well on his racecourse bow when chasing home Friary Road in a winners' contest at Punchestown last month and is entitled to improve a bit from that run. Stablemate He Can't Dance won a point-to-point at Monksgrange in late March and cost 300,000 pounds afterwards. The market may prove the best guide to his chances. The Lookout Man shaped with promise when second on his debut at Thurles back in March and has joined Declan Queally since. He's another to note.

HE CAN'T DANCE is from the family of Master Minded and fetched a hefty sum after winning a point, so he's fully expected to make a winning start under Rules for top connections. Stablemate Whinney Hill is the main threat ahead of Minella Post.

Gordon Elliott has a strong hand. HE CAN'T DANCE impressed in winning a point for Rob James and can be rated a fine long-term prospect

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.
