12:00 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f - 26 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (5/2 -53%) Jigoro	2.5 5/2(-53%)	(9) Jigoro 5/2, Promising sort. First run since leaving E. D'andigne when second of 18 in novice hurdle (4/1) at Cork (16f, soft) on IRE NH debut 34 days ago, travelling best. The one to beat. Placed on sole start on Flat in France, chased home a useful sort on hurdling debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 +29%) Butcher Hollow	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(3) Butcher Hollow 5/2, Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. 11/4, won 9-runner bumper at Galway (16.4f, heavy) on NH debut 42 days ago, travelling strongly. Makes hurdles debut. Considered. A 200,000GBP purchase after Tallow point win, looked smart when winning a Galway bumper.
3	8 3rd (8) (4/1 +33%) Jasko Des Dames	4 4/1(+33%)	(8) Jasko Des Dames 4/1, Won 11-runner bumper at Lignieres (11.9f, good to soft) by 3 lengths from Jigoro. Off 8 months. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Mlle D. Mele. Wears tongue strap. Interesting. Flat winner over 1m4f on soft in France last winter, interesting recruit, wears tongue-tie.
4	20 4th (20) (40/1 -21%) Walk The Warrior	40 40/1(-21%)	(20) Walk The Warrior 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 12/1, ninth of 16 in bumper at Punchestown (16f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. No forlorn hope. Good pedigree, has run in a bumper and a point-to-point, likely to need more experience.
5th	26 5th (26) (20/1 -150%) The Great Unknown	20 20/1(-150%)	(26) The Great Unknown 20/1, €100,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Coney Island. Stable in good form. Considered. Well-related filly, third in a point-to-point, one of three for the stable, interesting.
6th	13 6th (13) (28/1 -12%) Next Stop Paris	28 28/1(-12%)	(13) Next Stop Paris 28/1, €58,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Jetoile. Market can guide. Half-brother to progressive chaser Jetoile, from a strong family, in good hands.
7th	15 7th (15) (66/1 -100%) Paddy's Milestone	66 66/1(-100%)	(15) Paddy's Milestone 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, seventh of 19 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Can build on it. Soundly beaten in a point, took a step in the right direction at Down Royal, more needed.
8th	14 8th (14) (33/1 -65%) Ossie's Lodge	33 33/1(-65%)	(14) Ossie's Lodge 33/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Very good eighth of 24 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 7 days ago. Shortlisted. Bumper winner at Down Royal in May, made a satisfactory hurdling debut last Saturday.
9th	1 9th (1) (50/1 -213%) Al Kalila	50 50/1(-213%)	(1) Al Kalila 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. 7/2, fourth of 13 in bumper at Kelso (16.2f, soft) 28 days ago, running on. Makes hurdles debut. Respected. Has made the frame in two bumpers in Scotland, likely to find a few of these too strong.
11	11 \|B\| (11) (18/1 +10%) Lieber Nicc	18 18/1(+10%)	(11) Lieber Nicc 18/1, €45,000 3-y-o, Champs Elysees gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 2¾m) Mount Colah. Yard in good form so not ruled out on hurdling bow. First foal out of an unraced mare, fair pedigree but trainer has two stronger contenders.
4	4 \|B\| (4) (250/1 -150%) Earlofbrackenstown	250 250/1(-150%)	(4) Earlofbrackenstown 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Cork (16f, heavy) 13 days ago. Made little impact in two outings last month, one of trainer's three runners, best watched.
22	22 \|F\| (22) (250/1 -67%) Little Hero	250 250/1(-67%)	(22) Little Hero 250/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Thirteenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, soft, 250/1) on hurdles bow 14 days ago. Tailed off in a bumper last term, not much better when big price on recent hurdling debut.
12	12 \|U\| (12) (15/8 +0%) Milo Lises	1.875 15/8(+0%)	(12) Milo Lises 15/8, Once-raced maiden. Second of 16 in bumper (10/1) at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut, going with enthusiasm. Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. Yard in good form. Well in the mix. Chased home a stablemate on debut in a Punchestown bumper, winner scored on hurdling debut.
10th	18 10th (18) (125/1 -25%) Spatman De Cerisy	125 125/1(-25%)	(18) Spatman De Cerisy 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 19 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Punchestown (19.4f, soft) on NH debut 14 days ago. Needs to build on it. Already beaten when making a mistake two out on hurdling debut at Punchestown, may improve.
11th	7 11th (7) (50/1 -150%) Jack Du Large	50 50/1(-150%)	(7) Jack Du Large 50/1, Promising type. Fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20f, heavy, 8/1) on NH debut 22 days ago. Likely to improve. Showed a tendency to jump to the right at Wexford, Jack Kennedy deserts him for Jigoro.
12th	23 12th (23) (250/1 -25%) Meoulflower	250 250/1(-25%)	(23) Meoulflower 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (22.5f, soft, 300/1) 29 days ago. Down in trip. Poor form on the Flat, jumping has let her down on her first two runs over hurdles.
13th	19 13th (19) (200/1 -203%) Tell Us This	200 200/1(-203%)	(19) Tell Us This 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, eighth of 13 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 13 days ago. Jumping needs to be more slick, may be of some interest when qualified for handicaps.
14th	25 14th (25) (150/1 -50%) Tankardstown Diva	150 150/1(-50%)	(25) Tankardstown Diva 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1 and hooded for 1st time, ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, heavy) on hurdles bow 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Fourth in a small-field bumper, remote ninth when 100-1 on hurdling debut Fairyhouse.
15th	6 15th (6) (250/1 -67%) Jacenry	250 250/1(-67%)	(6) Jacenry 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, soft, 250/1) 14 days ago. Down the field on all four outings, can be safely left out of calculations.
16th	16 16th (16) (250/1 -150%) Ragmans Corner	250 250/1(-150%)	(16) Ragmans Corner 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Unseated rider 1st in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft, 100/1) on NH debut 9 days ago. Decent pedigree, 100-1 on debut at Clonmel when unseated at the first flight.
17th	10 17th (10) (250/1 -25%) Juke Box Rock	250 250/1(-25%)	(10) Juke Box Rock 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft) 9 days ago. No winning potential in three outings in maidens last month, perhaps a handicap prospect.
18th	24 18th (24) (250/1 -279%) Missy Mu	250 250/1(-279%)	(24) Missy Mu 250/1, Mount Nelson filly. Half-sister to modest 21f hurdle winner Huckleberry Rock. Dam (h125) bumper/2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m). Half-sister to trainer's handicap hurdle winner Huckleberry Rock, dam bumper/hurdle winner.
19th	5 19th (5) (200/1 -506%) Fernhill Fling	200 200/1(-506%)	(5) Fernhill Fling 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, sixth of 11 in bumper at Thurles (16.1f, soft) on NH debut 37 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Some merit in last month's run in a bumper at Thurles, not likely to pose a major threat.
20th	2 20th (2) (250/1 -150%) Big Tom	250 250/1(-150%)	(2) Big Tom 250/1, €3,500 3-y-o, Sageburg gelding. Dam modest 2m hurdle winner out of 2m-2¾m hurdle winner (stayed 3m) Annadot. Fourth foal, dam 2m hurdle winner, out of Flat/hurdles winner Annadot, from a small stable.
21st	21 21st (21) (250/1 -67%) Without Exception	250 250/1(-67%)	(21) Without Exception 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twenty first of 24 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 200/1) 7 days ago. No apparent chance on the evidence of three maiden hurdle outings in quick succession.
22nd	17 22nd (17) (250/1 -150%) Royal Time	250 250/1(-150%)	(17) Royal Time 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1 and tongue strap on, twelfth of 19 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Never in serious contention first time out at Down Royal, not a likely contender.

LTO Selection:

MILO LISES ran a big race on his debut in the Goffs Bumper at Punchestown and is a nice prospect for novice hurdles this season. He chased home stablemate Predators Gold that day and the form looks good with the winner an impressive winner on his debut over jumps at Punchestown recently. Jigoro has the benefit of a run over timber and looks a danger. Gordon Elliott's charge chased home a decent sort in Flamborough at Cork last month and is entitled to improve from that experience. Butcher Hollow is unbeaten after a point-to-point win at Tallow in February and a bumper success at Galway in late October. He looks like another big player.

JIGORO made a promising start for Gordon Elliott when runner-up in a big-field Cork novice and can go one better now with a fair bit of improvement on the cards from this ex-French recruit. Willie Mullins' hurdling newcomer Milo Lises could emerge as the chief threat, although Henry de Bromhead's duo Jasko des Dames and The Great Unknown can have a say too. Butcher Hollow completes the shortlist.

Each of the three top stables has a strong contender for this, but BUTCHER HOLLOW has a fighting chance of seeing off all challengers

12:00 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:32 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f - 25 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (8/13 +44%) Caldwell Potter	0.615385 8/13(+44%)	(5) Caldwell Potter 8/13, Fairly useful bumper winner who shaped well sent hurdling when second of 22 in maiden at Punchestown (16.5f, soft, 3/1) 23 days ago. Sets a good standard and open to improvement. Useful bumper winner, can step up a place after second to a smart horse on hurdling debut.
2	12 2nd (12) (4/1 +60%) Gorgeous Tom	4 4/1(+60%)	(12) Gorgeous Tom 4/1, Made frame both starts in points and shaped promisingly when fourth of 22 on hurdles debut at Navan (2m) 27 days ago. Open to improvement. Second in a point, good hurdling debut when fourth behind stablemate Slade Steel over C&D.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/4 -99%) Dr Eggman	2.75 11/4(-99%)	(9) Dr Eggman 11/4, Didn't need to improve to get off the mark at the third attempt in bumpers at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good, 4/9) in May, edging ahead on line. Much respected on hurdles debut. Had to work hard to win a Ballinrobe bumper, runner-up won his next two races, contender.
4	13 4th (13) (16/1 -167%) He's Ultimate	16 16/1(-167%)	(13) He's Ultimate 16/1, £105,000 4-y-o, Champs Elysees gelding. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler O Ceallaigh, stays 3m, and half-brother to smart hurdler/2½m chase winner Three Stripe Life. Runner-up sole start between the flags in April 2022 and one to note in the betting. Beaten by the smart It's For Me on his only point-to-point start, may need this.
5th	7 5th (7) (80/1 -60%) Cato's Revenge	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Cato's Revenge 80/1, 28/1, respectable seventh of 17 in maiden hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 13 days ago. Needs this for a handicap mark. Placed twice in bumpers, needs to improve his jumping technique on recent evidence.
6th	6 6th (6) (17/2 -70%) Catena Zapata	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(6) Catena Zapata 17/2, Useful on the Flat and has shown an aptitude for hurdling when runner-up in 2m maidens at Gowran and Limerick. Remains open to improvement. Second in two starts over hurdles last year, two Flat wins on AW, good run on heavy latest.
7th	2 7th (2) (20/1 -100%) Ah Remy Martin	20 20/1(-100%)	(2) Ah Remy Martin 20/1, Improved on debut form when second of 13 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good) 6 months ago. Goes hurdling now in a potentially warm race. Fair second at Tipperary in May on the second of two bumpers runs, of some interest.
8th	25 8th (25) (40/1 -400%) Mythical Vision	40 40/1(-400%)	(25) Mythical Vision 40/1, €70,000 3-y-o, Mount Nelson mare. Dam unraced sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Doctor Harper. Needs a market check. Mount Nelson mare comes from a respected source, unraced dam has a decent pedigree.
9th	14 9th (14) (50/1 +0%) Isenay	50 50/1(+0%)	(14) Isenay 50/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and was given a considerate introduction to hurdling when tenth of 16 in maiden at this course (20f, heavy, 40/1) 21 days ago. Bound to do better at some point. Promise in bumpers, placed twice at Ayr, struggled over 2m4f here on hurdling debut.
10th	18 10th (18) (200/1 -100%) Penalty Try	200 200/1(-100%)	(18) Penalty Try 200/1, 125/1, 22¾ lengths eighth of 15 to Dr Eggman in bumper at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) on NH debut. Off 6 months. Makes hurdles debut on first run for yard after leaving Denis W. Cullen. Pulled up in a point, down the field in a bumper at Ballinrobe won by Dr Eggman.
11th	3 11th (3) (200/1 -203%) Bonavena	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) Bonavena 200/1, Well held in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 12/1) on debut 28 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Beat only one rival in a Down Royal bumper on debut, no apparent chance at this stage.
12th	11 12th (11) (200/1 -100%) Glenriver	200 200/1(-100%)	(11) Glenriver 200/1, Well held in maiden hurdle (100/1) at Naas (16f, soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Well held by fourth-placed Gorgeous Tom on running over C&D last month.
13th	1 13th (1) (200/1 -100%) Agent Tequila	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Agent Tequila 200/1, Point winner who was comfortably held in maiden hurdle (33/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) on debut 28 days ago. Point winner on the sixth attempt, jumped untidily at Down Royal on first hurdles run.
14th	24 14th (24) (200/1 -300%) Georgia Celena	200 200/1(-300%)	(24) Georgia Celena 200/1, Ninth of 12 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 12/1) on NH debut 99 days ago. Up against it on hurdle bow. Towards the rear in a mares' bumper at Down Royal on debut, unlikely to feature.
15th	22 15th (22) (125/1 -89%) Solo Flight	125 125/1(-89%)	(22) Solo Flight 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 25/1, tenth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 32 days ago. Needs this for a handicap mark. Placed twice in points, first of his two runs over hurdles better than more recent display.
16th	20 16th (20) (125/1 -213%) Renard De Noir	125 125/1(-213%)	(20) Renard De Noir 125/1, 100/1, showed something when eighth of 19 in maiden hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Should do better somewhere down the line. Respectable run on debut at Down Royal four weeks ago, likely to need more experience.
17th	16 17th (16) (125/1 -150%) Party Pack	125 125/1(-150%)	(16) Party Pack 125/1, Attracted support but went with little encouragement when well held in maiden hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 11 days ago. Failed to justify market support when a moderate eighth on debut at Tramore 11 days ago.
18th	21 18th (21) (150/1 +25%) Schiehallion	150 150/1(+25%)	(21) Schiehallion 150/1, 300/1, went backwards from debut when eleventh of 22 in maiden hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 27 days ago. Not a bad first effort at Punchestown, big price when finishing in mid-field at Naas.
19th	15 19th (15) (200/1 -33%) Never Present	200 200/1(-33%)	(15) Never Present 200/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdle. Completely tailed off on hurdling debut at Tramore four weeks ago, safe to rule out.
20th	19 20th (19) (150/1 -355%) Pretty Soldier	150 150/1(-355%)	(19) Pretty Soldier 150/1, Fair Flat winner in Germany. Looked in need of the experience when eight of 14 in a Roscommon maiden in July. Should improve. Five Flat wins in Germany, placed over 1m5f for this stable, well beaten on hurdling debut.
21st	4 21st (4) (200/1 -33%) Brogue Man River	200 200/1(-33%)	(4) Brogue Man River 200/1, Well held in maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on NH debut 7 days ago. Never in the hunt when three-figure odds first time out at Fairyhouse, can be ruled out.
22nd	10 22nd (10) (200/1 -100%) Ebony Jade	200 200/1(-100%)	(10) Ebony Jade 200/1, Modest form only outing in bumpers and was well held in maiden hurdle (100/1) at Down Royal (22.5f, soft) 29 days ago. Down in trip. Fourth in a six-runner bumper on debut, completely tailed off in a maiden hurdle.
17	17 \|PU\| (17) (150/1 -50%) Peddler's Lane	150 150/1(-50%)	(17) Peddler's Lane 150/1, Showed fair form on his first 2 starts on the Flat but was well beaten in first-time blinkers on handicap debut at the Curragh last time and makes little appeal now hurdling. Hinted at ability in Flat maidens for Tony Martin, sole handicap start too bad to be true.
23	23 \|PU\| (23) (200/1 -100%) Deise Bella	200 200/1(-100%)	(23) Deise Bella 200/1, Hooded for 1st time, pulled up in maiden at Thurles (16.5f, good to soft, 150/1) on hurdles bow 9 days ago. Easily passed over. Has failed to complete her first two races, looks an awkward ride, can be ruled out.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (200/1 +0%) Cedarmount	200 200/1(+0%)	(8) Cedarmount 200/1, Looked one for later on when well held in maiden hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Huge price when completely tailed off in a C&D maiden in which Gorgeous Tom was fourth.

LTO Selection:

CALDWELL POTTER ran well on his hurdling debut when chasing home It's For Me at Punchestown last month and can go one better now. The Martaline gelding was a bumper winner last season and ended his campaign with a decent run to finish third in a hot winners race won by stablemate Stellar Story. Willie Mullins is represented by Dr Eggman and he obviously commands respect. The Saint des Saints gelding was a narrow winner at Ballinrobe back in May after a couple of nice runs in stronger bumpers. He could do better over jumps now. Catena Zapata finished runner-up in two maiden hurdles last season and is a decent sort on the Flat. He's another for the shortlist.

CALDWELL POTTER found only a good prospect too strong on his hurdling debut at Punchestown last month and is selected to go one better with improvement on the cards. Dr Eggmam and Catena Zapata are considered the main threats, though a market move for the selection's stablemate He's Ultimate would put a slightly different slant on matters.

Gordon Elliot's CALDWELL POTTER was second to a talented Mullins horse on his hurdling debut and may cope with Dr Eggman now

12:32 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

13:07 Navan Maiden Hurdle 20f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (2/1 -14%) Slade Steel	2 2/1(-14%)	(4) Slade Steel 2/1, Promising type. 10/3 and tongue strap on for 1st time, won 22-runner novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 27 days ago, forging clear. Looks promising. Solid bumper form, won well on hurdling debut, form franked by runner-up in the Royal Bond.
2	3 2nd (3) (9/2 -13%) Lecky Watson	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(3) Lecky Watson 9/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Career best when winning 9-runner novice hurdle (4/7) at Thurles (23f, soft) on hurdles bow 37 days ago, always holding on. This is tougher, but he should have more to offer. Very good form in bumpers without winning, had to work hard for odds-on maiden hurdle win.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/8 +31%) Stellar Story	1.375 11/8(+31%)	(5) Stellar Story 11/8, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Career best when winning 16-runner novice hurdle (4/7) at this C&D (heavy) on hurdles bow 21 days ago. Open to progress and he's a major player. Dual bumper winner, emphatic C&D maiden scorer, stable dominated Sunday's Royal Bond.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -43%) Better Days Ahead	5 5/1(-43%)	(2) Better Days Ahead 5/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. 2/9, didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy) 15 days ago, going clear. Likely to improve. Jack Kennedy prefers Stellar Story. Atoned for Down Royal mishap when winning easily at Fairyhouse, stable's second-string.
5th	1 5th (1) (80/1 -142%) Ballystone	80 80/1(-142%)	(1) Ballystone 80/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. 9/1, tailed-off fifth of 6 to Croke Park in Monksfield Novices' Hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 20 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Odds-on maiden hurdle winner at Ballinrobe in May, laboured in a recent C&D Grade 3 event.

LTO Selection:

SLADE STEEL was impressive on his hurdling debut at Naas last month and the form has gotten a major boost since. He beat King Of Kingsfield in fine style then and that rival ran a cracker to finish second in the Grade 1 Royal Bond Novice Hurdle last weekend. The Telescope gelding looks like he will appreciate stepping up in trip now and is an exciting prospect. Gordon Elliott runs two in the race and Stellar Story looks his main hope with Jack Kennedy on board. The Shantou gelding won a couple of bumpers last term and got the job done in good style on his hurdling debut over course and distance three weeks ago. Elliott also saddles Better Days Ahead who comes here off a confidence-boosting win at Fairyhouse. Smart bumper performer Lecky Watson made heavy weather of winning on his hurdling debut at Thurles and needs to improve on that.

The pick of these promising novices could be STELLAR STORY, who did the job well in a big-field C&D maiden on his hurdles debut three weeks ago and he's open to plenty of improvement. Slade Steel represents last year's winning yard and, armed with a similar profile to the selection, he is second choice ahead of Lecky Watson and Better Days Ahead.

The strength of Gordon Elliott's novice squad was underlined by a one-two in Sunday's Royal Bond. He can land this with STELLAR STORY

Info	Form	Odds
1	15 1st (15) (10/1 -82%) We'llhavewan	10 10/1(-82%)	(15) We'llhavewan 10/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Creditable sixth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, soft, 11/1) 42 days ago. Stable in good form. Cheekpieces back on. Shortlisted. Won at Killarney and not a bad run at Cheltenham over 3m since; needs more.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 -25%) Summerville Boy	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) Summerville Boy 20/1, Seven wins from 25 NH runs. Well-beaten fourteenth of 19 to Espanito Bello in handicap hurdle at Naas (19.9f, soft, 16/1) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Former Grade 1 winner was poor on return at Naas last month and has to bounce back.
3	13 3rd (13) (5/2 +50%) Canal End	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(13) Canal End 5/2, Promising individual. 7/1, creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, heavy) on reappearance 41 days ago, running on late. Significant step up in trip should suit. Big player with further improvement likely. This is a major step-up in trip but can be a big player if staying; retained rider aboard.
4	10 4th (10) (28/1 +15%) Ailie Rose	28 28/1(+15%)	(10) Ailie Rose 28/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in April. Below form fifteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Punchestown (23.6f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Won a Fairyhouse handicap in April before a poor run at Punchestown off this mark.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -125%) Maxxum	18 18/1(-125%)	(4) Maxxum 18/1, 25/1, 36¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Favori De Champdou in Florida Pearl Novices' Chase at Punchestown (24f, soft) 14 days ago, going in snatches. Switches from chase to hurdles. Well-held in a Grade 2 chase on return; needs his best back hurdling.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/4 +8%) Will Do	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(9) Will Do 11/4, 2 wins from 2 runs this season. 4/11, didn't need to improve to win 6-runner novice hurdle at Thurles (23f, soft) 16 days ago, pushed out. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to progress. Big player. Two hurdle wins; opening mark looks fair enough and is open to improvement; considered.
7th	17 7th (17) (5/1 +75%) Angels Dawn	5 5/1(+75%)	(17) Angels Dawn 5/1, 7/1, shaped better than result when 31 lengths second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24f, heavy) on reappearance 30 days ago, the lack of an outing telling after going with enthusiasm. Kim Muir winner was a 31l runner-up on return over hurdles at Clonmel but fitter today.
8th	8 8th (8) (33/1 -175%) Pinyon Jay	33 33/1(-175%)	(8) Pinyon Jay 33/1, 22¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Croke Park in Monksfield Novices' Hurdle at this course (20f, heavy, 16/1) 20 days ago, inadequate test. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Well-held in a Grade 3 over 2m4f here last time and will have to improve upon that.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (8/1 -60%) Espanito Bello	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) Espanito Bello 8/1, Five wins from 18 NH runs. Won 19-runner handicap hurdle at Naas (19.9f, soft) on reappearance 27 days ago, driven out. Back up in trip. One to consider. Won the Brown Lad Hurdle at Naas on return last time; still 13lb below his chase mark.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (11/1 -144%) Beacon Edge	11 11/1(-144%)	(1) Beacon Edge 11/1, 1 win from 1 run this season. First run since leaving Noel Meade when didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner minor event hurdle (11/4) at Thurles (23f, soft) 51 days ago, pushed out. Classy sort won a conditions hurdle at Thurles on seasonal/stable debut and is respected.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (25/1 -56%) Shadow Rider	25 25/1(-56%)	(12) Shadow Rider 25/1, 9/2, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.4f, soft) 13 days ago. Hood back on. Others more persuasive. Decent runs back over hurdles lately but jumping lacked fluency and needs more.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (25/1 -25%) Bardenstown Lad	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Bardenstown Lad 25/1, Five wins from 16 NH runs. Seventh of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (24.3f, good, 8/1) 35 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Was 3rd in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett last year but been generally disappointing since.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (28/1 -75%) Castle Field Boy	28 28/1(-75%)	(14) Castle Field Boy 28/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap hurdle (11/4) at Clonmel (24f, heavy) 30 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won at Clonmel but then pulled-up back at the same track and questions now.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (40/1 -100%) Jazzy Matty	40 40/1(-100%)	(11) Jazzy Matty 40/1, Well-beaten fifteenth of 19 to Espanito Bello in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Naas (19.9f, soft) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has been way below his best twice since Cheltenham win and this trip is an unknown.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (40/1 -21%) Drop The Anchor	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Drop The Anchor 40/1, 33/1, below form 27½ lengths tenth of 19 to Espanito Bello in handicap hurdle at Naas (19.9f, soft) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Well beaten on his last number of hurdle starts; blinkers will have to make a difference.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (66/1 -100%) Cavalry Master	66 66/1(-100%)	(16) Cavalry Master 66/1, Six wins from 19 NH runs. Ninth of 14 in handicap chase (50/1) at Cork (28f, soft) 34 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Tailed-off in two chase runs for this yard and isn't easy to fancy.

LTO Selection:

The progressive WILL DO may be able to keep his winning run going. The Walk In The Park gelding looks well suited by this sort of trip and was pulling away to beat Getaway Charlie at Thurles last time. He doesn't look harshly treated off 128 on his handicap debut. Gordon Elliott saddles six in the race and another Gigginstown gelding, Beacon Edge, tops the weights. It's no surprise to see him claim oft the Doyen gelding, with Carl Millar taking the mount, and he could run a big race having shown himself in good heart by winning at Thurles on his comeback run. Espanito Bello was also a winner on his seasonal debut and is another that has to come into the mix.

CANAL END shaped well over an inadequate 2m on his handicap debut/reappearance and can show he's on a good mark now stepping up to 3m+. Fellow lightly-raced sort Will Do arrives on the back of maiden/novice wins in recent months and might be the one to give the selection most to do. We'llhavewan proved his stamina for 3m at Cheltenham last time and also makes the shortlist along with Espanito Bello, who remains with handicapping scope based on his peak chase form.

Though he is taking a huge step-up in trip, CANAL END is a lightly raced sort who was an eyecatcher last time.

14:17 Navan Handicap Chase 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (16/1 +36%) Embittered	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Embittered 16/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when seventh of 11 in handicap chase (28/1) at Cork (21f, soft) 13 days ago. Over two years since his last win for Joseph O'Brien, made little impact on stable debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +60%) Shantreusse	4 4/1(+60%)	(7) Shantreusse 4/1, 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap chase at this course (23.5f, heavy) in March, finding less than looked likely. Absent subsequently and interesting what the market makes of him with yard also saddling Eklat De Rire. Grade 3 novice hurdle winner two seasons ago, stays 3m, yet to convince as a chaser.
3	9 3rd (9) (5/1 +64%) Genois	5 5/1(+64%)	(9) Genois 5/1, 4/1, sixth of 8 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft) 63 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Has shown jumping frailties untypical of horses from this yard, premature to write off.
4	11 4th (11) (11/1 +67%) The Little Yank	11 11/1(+67%)	(11) The Little Yank 11/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Pulled up in handicap chase (33/1) at Fairyhouse (29.6f, soft) 6 days ago, pulled up before 3 out. Significantly back down in trip. Just the one win over fences for this heavily-raced individual, hard to be confident.
5th	4 5th (4) (6/1 -80%) Mars Harper	6 6/1(-80%)	(4) Mars Harper 6/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Listowel in September. 15/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable second of 8 in handicap chase at Punchestown (21.3f, soft) 14 days ago. Possibilities. Two wins before below-par Limerick run, more like it again when second at Punchestown.
6th	8 6th (8) (18/1 +10%) Fakiera	18 18/1(+10%)	(8) Fakiera 18/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (12/1) at Downpatrick (28.6f, heavy), struggling when pulled up before 4 out. Off 8 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Lost his way for Gordon Elliott last season, stays a lot further than this, stable debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/1 -170%) Any Second Now	9 9/1(-170%)	(1) Any Second Now 9/1, C&D winner who had little go right having been hampered early when pulled up in last season's Grand National at Aintree. Now rising 12 and this sort of assignment may be more suitable. Returns with yard amongst the winners. Twice placed in the Grand National, pulled up in last season's edition, may need this.
8th	2 8th (2) (8/1 -100%) Eklat De Rire	8 8/1(-100%)	(2) Eklat De Rire 8/1, Very smart form over fences, defeating Conflated for latest success at Wexford in Autumn 2021. Lost his way to an extent thereafter and absent since finishing fourth over hurdles at Clonmel 12 months ago. However, record fresh a positive and likely he can get back on the up. Useful chaser in 2021, only one run since disappointing display in the 2022 Thyestes Chase.
9th	5 9th (5) (17/2 +58%) Fire Attack	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(5) Fire Attack 17/2, Sixteenth of 17 in handicap chase (18/1) at Galway (22.5f, good) in August, dropping away from 4 out. Yard switch needs to perk him up back from a break. Won over 2m5f at Punchestown last year, has been plagued by jumping problems since then.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (13/2 +46%) The Flier Begley	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(10) The Flier Begley 13/2, Fairly useful winner at 20f in chases. 12/1, creditable third of 17 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, heavy) 21 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and he may be sharper with that run under his belt. Good effort off his much lower hurdles mark last time, should be sharper for the run.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (16/1 -60%) All Those Years	16 16/1(-60%)	(12) All Those Years 16/1, 11/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Limerick (19f, heavy) 48 days ago, making mistakes and soon beaten. Hard to warm to at present. No sign of best form since Limerick win in March, jumping an issue on his last two starts.

LTO Selection:

MARS HARPER has progressed well this term winning twice over 2m6f at Galway and Listowel and again ran a cracker last time when beating all bar Idas Boy over a similar distance at Punchestown. A stiff 2m4f around here on testing ground should suit him well. The Flier Begley won a beginners chase over this trip at Down Royal and shaped well on his reappearance over hurdles here last month. Any Second Now has won three times at this venue including the Grade 2 Webster Cup over C&D last March but may just need the run as he presumably builds towards another crack at the Grand National. Union Park has been in good form both over fences and hurdles and has the assistance of a useful 5lb claimer, while Eklat De Rire handles heavy ground well but has obviously had training problems.

EKLAT DE RIRE is evidently fragile but he's capable of very smart form on his day and, boasting a good record fresh, he could be worth siding with to hit the ground running back from 12 months off. Any Second Now had little go right from an early stage when last seen in the National at Aintree and he's not underestimated on return. Mars Harper and Union Park complete the shortlist.

After a blip in the Munster National MARS HARPER resumed a progressive profile when second at Punchestown. He may go one better now

14:52 Navan Maiden Chase 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (5/2 -150%) Indiana Dream	2.5 5/2(-150%)	(3) Indiana Dream 5/2, Easy winner of a maiden hurdles at Fairyhouse (2½m, heavy) on hurdles debut/first run for Willie Mullins when last seen in January. Completely unexposed and interesting to see if there's confidence behind him in the betting now switched to fences. Bumper and maiden hurdle winner is capable of making his presence felt over fences.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 +25%) Saint Felicien	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(5) Saint Felicien 9/4, Promising type. Smart winner at 17f over hurdles. Third of 12 in novice chase (9/1) at this course (17f, heavy) on debut over fences 21 days ago. Up in trip and a bold show is anticipated. A fine 3rd in a 2m1f novice on return; raised in trip despite doing plenty in front then.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 -100%) Santonito	28 28/1(-100%)	(6) Santonito 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 20/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (21.9f, heavy) 42 days ago. Makes chase debut. Saint Felicien appears to be the stable No 1. Below form on his last three starts; needs a career best to take this on chasing debut.
4	7 4th (7) (9/2 +18%) Shanbally Kid	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(7) Shanbally Kid 9/2, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Latest win in hurdle here in January. Off 8 months ahead of this chase debut. Indiana Dream is presumably the stable first-string. Ran poorly in the Albert Bartlett but should be capable of running well on chasing debut.
5th	2 5th (2) (66/1 -313%) Highland Charge	66 66/1(-313%)	(2) Highland Charge 66/1, Useful hurdler. 20/1, bit below form fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.6f, soft) 126 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase for new yard and likely to find one or two too good. Useful hurdler showed ability on the first of his two chase starts; has a bit to find.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (11/5 +66%) Hiddenvalley Lake	2.2 11/5(+66%)	(1) Hiddenvalley Lake 11/5, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Off 8 months ahead of this chase debut and, granted a clean round of jumping, he could have a say. Smart novice hurdler disappointed at Cheltenham but rates a fine novice chasing prospect.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (300/1 -355%) Mythical Times	300 300/1(-355%)	(4) Mythical Times 300/1, Poor hurdler. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Wexford (20f, heavy) 22 days ago, pulled up before next. Makes chase debut and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Maiden under all codes is out of his depth on chasing debut.

LTO Selection:

HIDDENVALLEY LAKE was unlucky not to win his only point-to-point start and was a useful stayer over hurdles last season winning twice including a Grade 3 at Cork. He looks the type to do better over fences. Saint Felicien is in the same ownership and also won twice over hurdles plus finishing runner-up in a Grade 3. Gordon Elliott's charge was absent for 20 months before making his debut here over fences in a hot beginners race when third to Facile Vega but this trip on heavy ground may stretch his stamina. Indiana Dream is still in the could be anything bracket having easily won a maiden on his hurdle debut at Fairyhouse on New Years Day while stablemate Shanbally Kid won a maiden hurdle here over this trip and is another exciting recruit to fences.

All eyes will be on INDIANA DREAM, who was a winner of a bumper on his sole start in France and he barely came out of second gear when landing a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle on debut for this yard. Provided all is well following an 11-month absence and, of course, his jumping passes the test now tackling fences, the 5-y-o will take plenty of stopping. Saint Felicien get the nod forecast purposes ahead of Hiddenvalley Lake and Indiana Dream's stablemate Shanbally Kid.

HIDDENVALLEY LAKE was a leading staying novice hurdler last season before disappointing at Cheltenham but rates a fine chasing prospect

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (3/10 +70%) My Trump Card	0.3 3/10(+70%)	(4) My Trump Card 3/10, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Second of 7 in bumper (7/4) at this C&D (heavy) on bumper debut 21 days ago, closing all way to line. Difficult to oppose. Just denied in a C&D bumper here on return; should be sharper for that and take beating.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/2 -176%) The Story So Far	4.5 9/2(-176%)	(7) The Story So Far 9/2, Once-raced maiden. Third of 10 in bumper at Clonmel (16.4f, heavy, 10/3) on NH debut 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. May do better. Was 3rd in a Clonmel bumper on debut; should have improved from that and be involved.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 +36%) Jackmoon	16 16/1(+36%)	(3) Jackmoon 16/1, €40,000 3-y-o, Spanish Moon gelding. Dam 5.5f-1m winner. Should have plenty of pace, so warrants a market check. A 40,000euros 3yo is by the sire of El Fabiolo and from a quite speedy French family.
4	1 4th (1) (18/1 +45%) Aclass	18 18/1(+45%)	(1) Aclass 18/1, Flemensfirth gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler Kealshore Again and modest hurdler Dev of Tara, stays 3¼m. Dam unraced. Has shown ability in three uncompleted point runs; could run respectably.
5th	2 5th (2) (7/1 -17%) Big Chou	7 7/1(-17%)	(2) Big Chou 7/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft, 66/1) on NH debut 27 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. One to consider. Was 4th in a 2m3f Naas maiden hurdle on debut; give a bold show back in a bumper.
6th	6 6th (6) (80/1 -100%) Takenasred	80 80/1(-100%)	(6) Takenasred 80/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 80/1) on NH debut 28 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Raced keenly on debut; will need to have improved plenty from that but a hood could help.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 +0%) Nelson Muntz	33 33/1(+0%)	(5) Nelson Muntz 33/1, Once-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 18 in bumper (80/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 8 months. Beaten 23l in a valuable sales bumper in April on debut; will need to have improved plenty.
8th	10 8th (10) (80/1 -220%) So Far Away	80 80/1(-220%)	(10) So Far Away 80/1, Malinas mare. Half-sister to fairly useful staying hurdler Small Present. Dam (h137) 2m-3m hurdle winner, also 1m winner who stayed 2m on Flat. A 1,500euros yearling; best watched for future reference.
9th	9 9th (9) (50/1 -150%) Koko Kan	50 50/1(-150%)	(9) Koko Kan 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 16 in bumper (14/1) at Tipperary (20.2f, soft) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Down in trip. Hard to fancyn on the back of that. Beaten 23l on debut at Tipperary in April and will need to have improved plenty.
10th	8 10th (8) (125/1 -89%) Work Man Jimmy	125 125/1(-89%)	(8) Work Man Jimmy 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1 and hooded, thirteenth of 15 in bumper at this course (15.6f, good to soft) on NH debut 84 days ago. Tailed-off on debut over C&D and can't be fancied.

LTO Selection:

MY TRUMP CARD looks the one to beat with the booking of Patrick Mullins catching the eye. The well-bred Shantou gelding cost 230,000 euro as a store at Goffs and made a promising start here over hurdles but was then absent for a year before just denied in a bumper over C&D last month. Big Chou was friendless in the market but shaped well on debut in a maiden hurdle at Naas, keeping on nicely in the closing stages when fourth to Mahon's Way over 2m3f and should be suited by this stiff uphill finish. The Story So Far also came home strongly on debut last month when third to the selection's stablemate Rainbow Trail at Clonmel and is now fitted with cheek pieces.

MY TRUMP CARD was beaten only by Grangeclare West on debut and closed all the way to the line when denied over C&D on return. He's firmly expected to open his account at the third attempt, with The Story So Far looking the main threat after a positive start. Big Chou can't be fully discounted.

A beaten favourite when just denied over C&D on return, MY TRUMP CARD(nap) should be able to make amends today.

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.
