12:02 Navan Handicap Hurdle 16f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (13/8 -8%) Brave Troop	1.625 13/8(-8%)	(1) Brave Troop 13/8, Promising type. First run since leaving A. McIntyre when career best when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, good, 11/4) 17 days ago, plenty in hand. Should progress. Won with a huge amount in hand at Thurles, 16lb higher now could prove equal to challenge.
2	6 2nd (6) (18/1 -64%) Lygon Lad	18 18/1(-64%)	(6) Lygon Lad 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.4f, soft, 14/1) 12 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer for top yard. Three starts in maidens, most interesting run was over 2m4f at this venue, hard to assess.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +11%) Portnacoo	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Portnacoo 4/1, 3 wins from 5 runs this season. 9/4, career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good to soft) 65 days ago, pushed out. First run for yard after leaving Harry Smyth. Winner of three consecutive Downpatrick races for Harry Smyth, first start from this yard.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 +33%) Luimneach	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) Luimneach 8/1, Unable to recover from blunder 2 out when ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Punchestown (15.5f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Posted good placed efforts prior to that. Respected. Below his best at Punchestown last time, place possibility on the balance of form.
5th	12 5th (12) (5/1 +58%) Prince Quattro	5 5/1(+58%)	(12) Prince Quattro 5/1, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in November. Good 5¾ lengths third of 18 to Brave Troop in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Thurles (16.2f, good) 17 days ago. Enters calculations. Won at Limerick before third to Brave Troop at Thurles, 15lb better off now, place chance.
6th	3 6th (3) (66/1 -32%) Doctor Nightingale	66 66/1(-32%)	(3) Doctor Nightingale 66/1, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in April. Unseated rider in claiming hurdle (28/1) at Sligo (18.4f, good to soft). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Others more persuasive. Ex-Gordon Elliott, form highlighted by a Limerick maiden win on heavy, weak handicap form.
7th	4 7th (4) (11/2 -38%) Lady Bresil	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(4) Lady Bresil 11/2, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 7/2, good third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Considered. Made a few minor errors at Punchestown when returning from a break, may do better now.
8th	9 8th (9) (28/1 +15%) Aine's Lad	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Aine's Lad 28/1, 20/1, eleventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Back down in trip. Easy to look elsewhere. Fair form in maidens, down the field in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at this venue in October.
9th	13 9th (13) (100/1 -52%) Drum Roll	100 100/1(-52%)	(13) Drum Roll 100/1, Fourteenth of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, soft, 50/1) on IRE flat debut 54 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last hurdle outing. Plenty to find on form. Weak form in two handicap hurdles early in the season, transformation needed.
10th	7 10th (7) (25/1 -25%) Cozone	25 25/1(-25%)	(7) Cozone 25/1, 28/1, twentieth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, good) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs to recapture the form that saw him finish second at Punchestown three starts ago.
11th	8 11th (8) (66/1 -32%) Torquay Road	66 66/1(-32%)	(8) Torquay Road 66/1, Twenty third of 24 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, good, 40/1) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Sligo maiden winner in July; a long way below that level in four subsequent starts.
12th	10 12th (10) (40/1 -21%) Mary's Pride	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Mary's Pride 40/1, Latest win in hurdle at Tipperary in July. 40/1, twenty first of 24 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, good) 15 days ago. Back down in trip. Won at Tipperary in June, has to recapture form after a series of uninspiring displays.
13th	11 13th (11) (28/1 -40%) Nathaniel's Dream	28 28/1(-40%)	(11) Nathaniel's Dream 28/1, Winner in hurdle at Galway in July 2022. 12/1, respectable seventh of 22 in handicap hurdle at this course (22f, soft), needing stiffer test. Off over 2 years. Can only watch after such a long time off. Beat a good yardstick at Galway in 2022, off for two years, 2m trip is probably inadequate.

Smart on the Flat, BRAVE TROOP was well supported on his first start for Charles Byrnes when a facile winner at Thurles last month. The five-year-old is up markedly in the ratings but the ground is likely to be similar, which will suit him, and he's open to plenty of further improvement in this discipline. Portnacoo, formerly trained by his owner Harry Smyth, rattled up a hat-trick of victories at Downpatrick in early autumn and returns after a couple of months off to make his debut for Ross O'Sullivan. Clonmel maiden winner Lady Bresil ran creditably after seven months off when placed on handicap debut at Punchestown, while Lygon Lad drops in trip after showing promise in maidens.

BRAVE TROOP had any amount in hand when making successful handicap hurdle debut for new trainer Charles Byrnes at Thurles and even a 16 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him with further improvement likely. Second choice is Luimneach who had an excuse at Punchestown last time and had been in good form prior to that. Lady Bresil and Gordon Elliott handicap newcomer Lygon Lad complete the shortlist.

As long as the ground does not deteriorate, BRAVE TROOP can probably cope with the 16lb rise handed out for a comfortable Thurles win

12:35 Navan Handicap Hurdle 20f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (9/2 +59%) Glen Kiln	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(5) Glen Kiln 9/2, First run since leaving David Harry Kelly when respectable sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, good to soft, 7/1) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. Expected to be bang there. Below his best at Gowran on return but can improve from that and one to consider.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/1 +36%) Theflyingbee	7 7/1(+36%)	(6) Theflyingbee 7/1, Winner in hurdle at Bellewstown in April. Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Ballinrobe (22f, good) 93 days ago. Fine effort in the Red Mills Final at Punchestown; not as good at Ballinrobe since.
3	12 3rd (12) (14/1 -100%) Boston Rover	14 14/1(-100%)	(12) Boston Rover 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.2f, good, 9/1) 24 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Raised 2lb from last time but there should be more to come and has to be on the shortlist.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +27%) Cast A Spell	8 8/1(+27%)	(7) Cast A Spell 8/1, 21½ lengths seventh of 8 to Tounsivator in Royal Bond Novices' Hurdle (100/1) at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good) 14 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Something to find on form. Won over 2m here last month; out of her depth in a Grade 2 since; this is more realistic.
5th	16 5th (16) (80/1 -142%) Whatsyourstatus	80 80/1(-142%)	(16) Whatsyourstatus 80/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in June 2023. Good seventh of 13 in handicap chase (66/1) at Cheltenham (29.2f, good to soft). Off 13 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Significantly down in trip. Well beaten when last seen over hurdles in 2023 and likely best watched on return.
6th	10 6th (10) (14/1 -87%) Kinbara Firstdraft	14 14/1(-87%)	(10) Kinbara Firstdraft 14/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (20.4f, good to soft, 6/1) 32 days ago. Won handicaps on good ground at Perth and Ayr this year; likely needs to improve.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 +0%) Cut The Rope	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) Cut The Rope 16/1, 18/1, fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Others have achieved more. Maiden over hurdles; should have improved from his return at Punchestown; one to consider.
8th	8 8th (8) (13/2 +28%) Roxhill Roise	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(8) Roxhill Roise 13/2, 1 win from 2 runs this season. 5/1, career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, heavy) 19 days ago. Should remain competitive up 6 lb. Won twice at Tramore this year; likely she needs to step up off 6lb higher than last time.
9th	2 9th (2) (20/1 +0%) Routine Excellence	20 20/1(+0%)	(2) Routine Excellence 20/1, Latest win in hurdle at Bellewstown in August. Pulled up in handicap chase (9/2) at Clonmel (20.7f, good to soft) 52 days ago, pulled up before last. Switches from chase to hurdles. Poor over hurdles and fences since his last win so has questions to answer.
14	14 \|U\| (14) (7/2 +53%) Away To Milan	3.5 7/2(+53%)	(14) Away To Milan 7/2, Good third of 19 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, soft, 22/1) 22 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Player. Back from a long absence with a fine effort at Punchestown; go close if improving on that.
10th	9 10th (9) (13/2 +54%) Well Dressed	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(9) Well Dressed 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4, seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Well fancied for comeback/handicap debut at Punchestown but disappointed; up in trip.
11th	15 11th (15) (25/1 -108%) Solo Flight	25 25/1(-108%)	(15) Solo Flight 25/1, Excellent second of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.8f, good to soft, 10/3), clear of rest. Off 6 months. Down in trip. Merits consideration. Runner-up over 3m2f at Sligo when last seen; can go well if repeating that over this trip.
12th	11 12th (11) (16/1 -113%) Zefania	16 16/1(-113%)	(11) Zefania 16/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 1 win from 2 runs this season. 15/8, career best when winning 16-runner novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 102 days ago, driven out. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Maiden hurdle winner in September needs to find more on handicap debut.
13th	3 13th (3) (66/1 +0%) Sir Bob	66 66/1(+0%)	(3) Sir Bob 66/1, C&D winner. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Punchestown (24.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago, never travelling well. Won at Cork in March; has to improve loads from his comeback effort at Punchestown.
14th	13 14th (13) (66/1 -100%) Influential Lady	66 66/1(-100%)	(13) Influential Lady 66/1, Course winner. 300/1, tailed-off last of 6 to Saint Sam in Clonmel Oil Chase at Clonmel (20.8f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Out of her depth last twice; has a squeak if back to some of her better runs of this year.

A maiden winner at Bellewstown in April, THEFLYINGBEE acquitted herself very well against some smart novices on her next start at the Punchestown Festival and may have needed the run on handicap debut in September. Her local trainer's last two runners have finished second, which augurs well for a prominent showing from the daughter of Morozov. Kinbara Firstdraft has had her last five runs in Scotland and landed a good-ground handicap over a similar trip at Ayr last month. Well Dressed had been off eight months prior to running poorly when favourite for her handicap debut at Punchestown and is surely capable of better, while Boston Rover made a good start in handicap company when runner-up at Thurles.

AWAY TO MILAN made an encouraging return from an absence at Punchestown 3 weeks ago and is given a chance to build on that promise. Boston Rover made a good start to his handicap career when second at Thurles last month and is second choice ahead of last-time-out winners Kinbara First and Roxhill Rose.

Having run a cracker on return from a long absence at Punchestown last time, AWAY TO MILAN can improve from that to score.

2	2 2nd (2) (18/1 +45%) Toor Khov	18 18/1(+45%)	(2) Toor Khov 18/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Respectable tenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft, 22/1) 7 days ago. Up in trip and not ruled out. Won a 3m maiden; has tended to be trip-versatile but well beaten over 2m4f last week.
3	16 3rd (16) (22/1 -120%) Plain Or Battered	22 22/1(-120%)	(16) Plain Or Battered 22/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Winner in hurdle at Wexford in May. 7/2, below form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Won over 3m at Wexford in May, remote fifth off revised mark on final start before a break.

Good second of 7 in novice chase (11/8) at Thurles (25.1f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Switches to hurdles and expected to be bang there at these weights.

6th	13 6th (13) (25/1 +24%) Healdsburg	25 25/1(+24%)	(13) Healdsburg 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Below form sixth of 20 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (20.4f, soft, 66/1) 23 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Chased home potential novice star The Yellow Clay at Down Royal, struggled at Tipperary.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/2 +69%) The Story So Far	2.5 5/2(+69%)	(7) The Story So Far 5/2, Fairly useful winner at 18f in bumpers. Sixth of 9 in novice hurdle (9/1) at Sligo (25.7f, soft) 51 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Possibilities. Limerick bumper winner last Christmas, hard to assess, market may be informative.
8th	15 8th (15) (33/1 +0%) Rodney Bay	33 33/1(+0%)	(15) Rodney Bay 33/1, Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Fairyhouse (23.5f, good) 33 days ago. No forlorn hope. 1-20 over hurdles placed seven times, weak form as a dual-purpose sort in four 2024 runs.
9th	9 9th (9) (11/4 +39%) Billy Lee Swagger	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(9) Billy Lee Swagger 11/4, 9/2, good second of 19 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Up in trip.

10th	6 10th (6) (28/1 -12%) Doitforjane Sid	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Doitforjane Sid 28/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in October. 11/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.1f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Went up 25lb for wins at Killarney and Sligo, down the field at Punchestown last time.
11th	3 11th (3) (16/1 -33%) Western Zara	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Western Zara 16/1, 10/3, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24.2f, heavy) 7 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running. Ended last season on a low new, ran well when fresh on last season's reappearance.
12th	4 12th (4) (80/1 -300%) Presenting Doyen	80 80/1(-300%)	(4) Presenting Doyen 80/1, Below-par fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.2f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Up in trip. 2024 form has not been very encouraging, stable's two other runners are more appealing.
13th	11 13th (11) (25/1 -108%) Boston Beach	25 25/1(-108%)	(11) Boston Beach 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, good third of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (18f, soft) 79 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should progress. Handicap mark is based on three runs at up to 2m2f, an unknown quantity over this trip.
14th	18 14th (18) (28/1 +15%) Tullyhogue Fort	28 28/1(+15%)	(18) Tullyhogue Fort 28/1, 16/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.2f, good) 33 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give a good account. Has managed a couple of respectable runs this year but others make more appeal.
15th	8 15th (8) (16/1 -14%) Where's Frankie	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Where's Frankie 16/1, Five wins from 19 NH runs. Pulled up in handicap chase (16/1) at Fairyhouse (29.1f, heavy). Off 8 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Better known as a chaser, won over an extended 3m4f last season, may need the run.
16th	17 16th (17) (11/1 -38%) Royal Cave	11 11/1(-38%)	(17) Royal Cave 11/1, 5/2, still in front when fell last in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, good) 69 days ago. Must enter calculations. Held a narrow advantage when falling at the last at Fairyhouse, a leading contender.

Not taken lightly stepping up in trip. Youngster made a winning handicap debut in September, tackles a new trip now.

After seven months off, BILLY LEE SWAGGER shaped well on his reappearance at Punchestown and is probably still on a workable mark after a 3lb hike. He steps up markedly in trip and wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much, but is likely to go close if improving for this test of stamina. Doitforjane Sid was unable to land a blow in a Pertemps qualifier at Punchestown, but won his first two handicap starts with plenty to spare and had Crossing The Bar back in fourth when successful over this trip at Sligo in October. The latter has been in good form since joining Cian Collins, while his stablemate Robyndeglory returned to form when a fast-finishing third at Tipperary.

Lots with chances but CROSSING THE BAR rates the pick of the weights back in this sphere so edges the vote from handicapping debutants Born Bright (second choice) and Boston Beach. Billy Lee Swagger, Churchwarden and Toor Khov all need factoring into this very open handicap too.

Slight preference is for ROYAL CAVE who held a narrow lead when falling at the last at Fairyhouse

Can make presence felt. Helps to give Gavin Cromwell a strong hand although Money Heist is a little more appealing.
2	4 2nd (4) (33/1 -288%) Folly Master	33 33/1(-288%)	(4) Folly Master 33/1, Latest win in chase at Thurles in March. Evens, running below form when fell in handicap chase at Limerick (24.6f, heavy). Off 8 months. Significantly back down in trip. Trip is probably too short since his wins last season were obtained over 2m7f and 2m5f.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/2 +36%) Cheerful Chap	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(9) Cheerful Chap 7/2, Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. 9/2, very good second of 12 in handicap chase at Clonmel (18.3f, soft) 12 days ago.

4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +38%) Dont Go Yet	5 5/1(+38%)	(1) Dont Go Yet 5/1, Course winner. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap chase (12/1) at Fairyhouse (17f, good) 15 days ago. Ran in a stronger race at Fairyhouse last time, must jump better but holds definite chance.
5th	8 5th (8) (13/2 +41%) Clonbury Bridge	6.5 13/2(+41%)	(8) Clonbury Bridge 13/2, 28/1, creditable tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Down in trip. Good run over fences at Clonmel before a moderate run over hurdles at Cheltenham last time.
6th	3 6th (3) (4/1 +20%) Money Heist	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Money Heist 4/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase (7/4) at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy), readily. Off 11 months. Should progress. Is 2-2 in handicap chases last winter, probably capable of further improvement this term.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 -18%) Starman	33 33/1(-18%)	(5) Starman 33/1, 22/1, fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good to soft) 65 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut. Three-time hurdles scorer, three nondescript runs over fences, others preferred.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 8 in handicap chase (2/1) at Thurles (16.6f, good) 24 days ago. Youngster has taken well to chasing and and has fair prospects following Thurles second.
10th	10 10th (10) (9/1 +50%) A Great Buzz	9 9/1(+50%)	(10) A Great Buzz 9/1, Unseated rider in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy, 18/1) on debut over fences 49 days ago. Back down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Best hurdles run was over 2m4f, unseated in a 2m6f event on chase debut, 2m hardly ideal.

DONT GO YET would prefer a softer surface, but he ran very well on yielding ground at Fairyhouse and now drops in grade. His jumping was a little ragged last time and an improvement in that department will see him in with a good chance of registering a second success at this venue. Money Heist is on a hat-trick after winning his first two handicap chases on testing ground, but he has been off since January. Someone's Wish has run well in three chase starts since landing a beginners' contest at Downpatrick, while Cheerful Chap was second to a well-treated rival at Clonmel and should progress from that first start in over six months.

CHEERFUL CHAP was unlucky to bump into a handicap blot at Clonmel on his return 12 days ago and remains unexposed as a chaser. The progressive Money Heist is the obvious threat as he bids for the hat-trick on return, with his stablemate Midnight It Is completing the shortlist.

Course winner DONT GO YET is dropped in class with good prospects after running creditably in a Listed handicap chase at Fairyhouse.

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (10/11 +55%) Individualiste	0.909091 10/11(+55%)	(6) Individualiste 10/11, Promising type. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner novice chase at Thurles (25.1f, good to soft, 2/1) 16 days ago, easily. Has to be taken seriously. Won a 3m1f Thurles beginners' event readily, shorter trip is not a major negative.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +64%) A Wave Of The Sea	12 12/1(+64%)	(3) A Wave Of The Sea 12/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. 66/1, thirteenth of 23 in handicap hurdle at this course (22.4f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Useful sort for Joseph O'Brien, lost his way during a spell in Britain, needs a revival.
3	9 3rd (9) (12/1 +25%) Mighty Oak Lad	12 12/1(+25%)	(9) Mighty Oak Lad 12/1, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. 20/1, eighth of 12 in handicap chase at Clonmel (18.3f, soft) 12 days ago. Won a 3m handicap hurdle last season, should be better for a recent comeback over shorter.

Makes handicap chase debut. Not taken lightly. Point winner in May, shaped quite well at Tramore on the most recent of three chase starts.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 0%) Don't Talk	12 12/1(0%)	(10) Don't Talk 12/1, Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. Eleventh of 12 in handicap chase (18/1) at Clonmel (18.3f, soft) 12 days ago, not knocked about. Went close at Down Royal on final start last season, never involved on his recent return.
6th	8 6th (8) (20/1 -100%) Room To Roam	20 20/1(-100%)	(8) Room To Roam 20/1, Two wins from 52 NH runs. Fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Thurles (22.4f, good, 17/2) 17 days ago. Often runs well but a hard horse to win with, 2-52 record over jumps is off-putting.
7th	2 7th (2) (14/1 -40%) Valsorpresa	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Valsorpresa 14/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap chase (7/1) at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Placed at Perth in his first chase, two lesser displays since then over contrasting trips.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 -45%) Happy Dreams	16 16/1(-45%)	(1) Happy Dreams 16/1, Fell in handicap chase (12/1) at Wexford (19.7f, heavy) 49 days ago. Gained the most recent of four chase wins at Limerick last Christmas, faller on latest.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (17/2 -13%) Andys Flame	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(5) Andys Flame 17/2, Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. Seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Naas (20f, good to soft, 9/2) 35 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Reported to be blowing hard after failing to run to expectations here five weeks ago.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (20/1 -264%) Soloman Lane	20 20/1(-264%)	(7) Soloman Lane 20/1, 9/4, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, heavy). Off 9 months. Enters calculations. Signed off last season with a Leopardstown win in March, placed first time out last season.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (22/1 -38%) Handsworth	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Handsworth 22/1, Course winner. 12/1, fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, soft) 23 days ago, never travelling well. Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip. Won this event three years ago, returned from a long absence with a hurdles run last month.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (40/1 +0%) A Year Older	40 40/1(+0%)	(12) A Year Older 40/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (23.5f, good, 33/1) 33 days ago. Makes chase debut. Weak form in handicap hurdles, no chasing experience, massive improvement needed.

INDIVIDUALISTE won twice over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and has steadily improved in three chase outings since joining Gavin Cromwell. He looked a strong stayer when successful over 3m1f at Thurles last time and this galloping track will play to his strength. Soloman Lane won over 2m5f at Leopardstown last spring and it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in his favour after a break, while Valsorpresa ran too freely at Down Royal last month and will appreciate this drop in distance. Point-to-point winner Dawn Escape showed some promise at Tramore and now tackles handicap company for the first time.

INDIVIDUALISTE opened his chasing account with ease at Thurles last time and looks on a good mark back in a handicap. Soloman Lane can go well fresh and won at Leopardstown when last seen in March, so is next best ahead of Dawn Escape, who may do better now handicapping.

Twice successful as a hurdler over shorter trips than this, INDIVIDUALISTE gets the vote to back up a 3m1f Thurles beginners' win

2	6 2nd (6) (80/1 -142%) Salmanino	80 80/1(-142%)	(6) Salmanino 80/1, 33/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, heavy) 8 months ago. Has work to do. Pulled-up on last two starts and can only be watched after another absence.
3	4 3rd (4) (17/2 -42%) Shajak	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(4) Shajak 17/2, Useful winner at 12f on flat. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code, unseated rider 9th in handicap chase (9/2) at Fairyhouse (21.5f, good) 15 days ago. Can make presence felt if brushing up his jumping. Was 2.75l behind Potters Party at Down Royal but jumping frailties cost him last time.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 +25%) Casey West	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Casey West 12/1, Winner in chase at Clonmel in January. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap chase (20/1) at Kilbeggan (20.4f, good). Off 7 months and needs to hit the ground running. Hunter chase winner was well beaten in a banks race and regulation handicap since.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/2 -22%) Potters Party	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(3) Potters Party 11/2, Right back on song after 6 months when runner-up in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 43 days ago, conceding first run to winner. Winner has gone in again so big shout. A fine 2nd on return at Down Royal and if improving from that has a big chance up 3lb.
6th	12 6th (12) (10/3 +44%) Pipers Boreen	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(12) Pipers Boreen 10/3, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. 9/4, good second of 13 in novice chase at Tramore (21.4f, heavy) 19 days ago, just failing. Can go well again. Went close in testing ground at Galway and Tramore lately; this might be too lively.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 +17%) Tyre Kicker	5 5/1(+17%)	(1) Tyre Kicker 5/1, 17/2, below form eighth of 18 in handicap chase at this course (24.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Just denied at Galway but was well below form in the Troytown over C&D since.
8th	2 8th (2) (14/1 -155%) Invictus Machin	14 14/1(-155%)	(2) Invictus Machin 14/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap chase (12/1) at Kilbeggan (25.4f, good to soft) 114 days ago. Not taken lightly in his current mood. Off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan in August; needs more up 8lb after an absence.
9th	11 9th (11) (25/1 -25%) Temptationinmilan	25 25/1(-25%)	(11) Temptationinmilan 25/1, C&D winner.

Pulled up in novice chase at Kilbeggan (25.4f, good to soft, 28/1) 156 days ago, labouring over circuit out. Makes handicap chase debut. Could bounce back. Good run on chase debut but was poor twice since and has to do better after a break.
13	13 \|U\| (13) (14/1 +44%) Donnrua Dream	14 14/1(+44%)	(13) Donnrua Dream 14/1, Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Limerick (21f, soft) 26 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and not dismissed. Pulled-up when last seen over fences and well beaten over hurdles since; others preferred.

POTTERS PARTY ran well on his return at Down Royal early last month and can bag another win over fences now. The Mahler gelding chased home History Of Fashion and the form got a boost with the winner going on to land the Porterstown Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse. He had Shajak back in third at Down Royal and can confirm the placings. Invictus Machin also runs in the JP McManus colours and could be a danger. The Coastal Path gelding came good over fences at Kilbeggan back in August and, despite an 8lb hike, he still looks on a competitive mark.

POTTERS PARTY signalled he is ready to go in again when an excellent second at Down Royal so looks the way to go. The handily-weighted Verdant Place heads the list of dangers, although the likes of Pipers Boreen, Temptationinmilan and Shajak all enter calculations in this competitive handicap.

Runner-up on return at Down Royal to a rival who has franked the form since, POTTERS PARTY can go one better today.

1	5 1st (5) (4/5 +47%) Kalypso'chance	0.8 4/5(+47%)	(5) Kalypso'chance 4/5, Won sole start in British points (Apr 20) 9/4, won 9-runner bumper at Punchestown (16.8f, good to soft) on NH debut 21 days ago, impressively. Sets the benchmark with improvement on the way. Ran away with a Punchestown bumper and the champion amateur is on board; maximum respect.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +57%) Heads Up	3 3/1(+57%)	(3) Heads Up 3/1, Won 8-runner bumper (4/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 22 days ago, forging clear. Going the right way and has room for more. Wide-margin winner at Punchestown last time and has to be given plenty of respect.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/4 +25%) Classical Creek	2.25 9/4(+25%)	(1) Classical Creek 9/4, Won 7-runner bumper (2/9) at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) on NH debut 43 days ago, readily. Point form gives him scope for better still and he's a definite player. Point and bumper winner; has to step up on that form in this grade but could do so.
4	4 4th (4) (25/1 +38%) Jerry From Kerry	25 25/1(+38%)	(4) Jerry From Kerry 25/1, Lightly-raced winner in bumpers. 6/1, 40 lengths fifth of 8 to Heads Up in bumper at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 22 days ago.

5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 +17%) Friary Road	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Friary Road 10/1, 6/1, won 7-runner bumper at Punchestown (16.3f, good) 60 days ago by 3 lengths from Whinney Hill, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Worth place in this grade. Two bumper wins; is worth his place in this line-up but will have to find more.

Gordon Elliott obviously has a strong hand in this and it will be interesting to see if all the Gigginstown horses turn up. Kalypso'chance was impressive first time out at Punchestown three weeks ago and was installed as an early ante-post favourite for Cheltenham. It's noteworthy, though, that Harry Swan was jocked up early on for CLASSICAL CREEK and the Walk In The Park gelding may prove the one. He won cosily enough on his 'track' debut at Down Royal having been well touted coming into that race. Friary Road has a victory over Whinney Hill and Jerry From Kerry in the bag and is another who has to come into calculations.

Gigginstown has a strong hand in this with point winners KALYPSO'CHANCE and Classical Creek both having made impressive Rules debuts. They're likely to fight it out, with the former taken to prevail, although a case can be made for the others.

KALYPSO'CHANCE was very impressive when running away with a Punchestown bumper and has the champion amateur aboard 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.
