Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (11/1 -47%) Kilmeaden	11 11/1(-47%)	(5) Kilmeaden 11/1, Running with promise when brought down late in a maiden hurdle at Limerick on debut; effective at 2m on Hy; should improve. Rated 91 on Flat, stayed well, did not jump well on hurdling debut, remains of interest.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/10 0%) Madness D'elle	1.1 11/10(0%)	(7) Madness D'elle 11/10, Promise when third beaten 6 1/4l in a juvenile hurdle at Auteuil on debut; effective at 1m7f on very soft; joined a top yard and should go well. Obvious contender based on his Auteuil third and subsequent addition to the Mullins' team.
3	6 3rd (6) (14/1 +50%) Kizlyar	14 14/1(+50%)	(6) Kizlyar 14/1, Confirmed his debut level when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown most recently; from a top course trainer; effective at 2m and acts with cut; capable of more over hurdles. Flat winner in France, big price at Leopardstown and appears held by Deep Water Bay..
4	2 4th (2) (7/2 -5%) Deep Water Bay	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(2) Deep Water Bay 7/2, Made a fair debut when beaten 8l in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time; previously in good form and enjoys making the running; effective at 2m on yielding ground with more to come. Four wins on Flat, cheap purchase, caught the eye with a staying-on run at Leopardstown.
5th	8 5th (8) (15/2 -67%) Mino Des Mottes	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(8) Mino Des Mottes 15/2, Bit disappointing but showed some promise when fourth, beaten 11l, in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective at 2m on yielding ground with improvement likely. AQPS winner in July, beaten favourite when fourth here 12 days ago, should improve.
6th	15 6th (15) (150/1 -88%) Concert Party	150 150/1(-88%)	(15) Concert Party 150/1, Too keen on a moderate debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown most recently; progressive on the Flat and may yet do better over hurdles. Big price when down the field in Leopardstown maiden in which Deep Water Bay took fifth.
7th	1 7th (1) (50/1 +0%) Berto Ramirez	50 50/1(+0%)	(1) Berto Ramirez 50/1, Showed some promise on his first start over hurdles when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 2m on soft ground and likely to improve. Regressive on Flat, made a satisfactory start over hurdles when fifth of 12 at Fairyhouse.
8th	16 8th (16) (33/1 -136%) Simple Things	33 33/1(-136%)	(16) Simple Things 33/1, Bit too free in front and well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft to heavy; debut form has been franked but she needs to find more. Promising first run at Fairyhouse, failed to build on that on second start, hood on now.
9th	11 9th (11) (200/1 -100%) Royal Belief	200 200/1(-100%)	(11) Royal Belief 200/1, Modest enough debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time; should improve for the run. Unplaced in five starts on the Flat, remote fifth on hurdles debut, unlikely to feature.
12	12 \|S\| (12) (250/1 -150%) Starword	250 250/1(-150%)	(12) Starword 250/1, Never threatened and was well beaten in a juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown on only start; likely to need more time. From a family that has served the stable well, never involved on debut at Leopardstown..
10th	14 10th (14) (66/1 -450%) Wolfpack	66 66/1(-450%)	(14) Wolfpack 66/1, Well held when unseating in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time; should improve but needs to if he is to feature. Staying on when unseating at the last at Leopardstown, stablemate Deep Water Boy fifth.
11th	13 11th (13) (250/1 -67%) Stone Rulya	250 250/1(-67%)	(13) Stone Rulya 250/1, Poor debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recently; needs major improvement to figure. Weak Flat form, always at the back here in the race in which Mino Des Mottes was fourth.
12th	4 12th (4) (150/1 -200%) Granlahan	150 150/1(-200%)	(4) Granlahan 150/1, 20,000 euros Equiano gelding; half-brother to Lakewood, poor at 18f; dam very useful at 10f; hard to fancy on debut. Dam won on the Flat for Jim Bolger, half-sister to 1m Group 3 winner Steip Amach.
13th	9 13th (9) (150/1 -500%) Nile Star	150 150/1(-500%)	(9) Nile Star 150/1, 6,000 euros Cloth Of Stars gelding; fifth foal, half-brother to hurdles winners in France; looks up against it on debut. Half-brother to a French Listed hurdle winner, worth a look for future reference.
14th	10 14th (10) (200/1 -203%) Ray Gun	200 200/1(-203%)	(10) Ray Gun 200/1, Off the pace and no show when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork most recently; type to do better once handicapping. Won at a modest level on AW in Britain, down the field in two maiden hurdles at Cork.

MADNESS D'ELLE brings strong Auteuil form for his Irish debut and is likely to be a smart performer. Placed third over hurdles on soft ground last May, that race's winner was subsequently Grade 1-placed and the selection now debuts for top connections at an encouraging time of year. His stablemate Mino Des Mottes won a French AQPS bumper last summer but although he showed ability here on New Year's Eve, he is vulnerable to smart types. Deep Water Bay ran nicely on his recent hurdling debut, but is likely to be more at home on better ground.

Paul Townend's mount MADNESS D'ELLE has joined the Closutton team from a good source after a promising run at Auteuil.

13:18 Punchestown 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (10/1 -122%) Be Fierce	10 10/1(-122%)	(5) Be Fierce 10/1, Outpaced and possibly found the ground a bit quick when down the field in a handicap chase at Killarney last time; returns from a break and is effective around 2m with some cut; may do better this time. Both wins at Tramore, absent since tailed off in a handicap chase at Killarney last August.
2	12 2nd (12) (15/8 +53%) Where Are You Now	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(12) Where Are You Now 15/8, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; effective at 2m with cut in the ground and may do better now handicapping. May need further but worth a market check to see if his opening mark tempts backers.
3	10 3rd (10) (4/1 +75%) Couldntmakeitup	4 4/1(+75%)	(10) Couldntmakeitup 4/1, Made mistakes and was unsuited by soft ground when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m and was in fair form before that run. Mid-field in a 2m4f handicap at Fairyhouse a month ago; others preferred..
4	11 4th (11) (5/1 +23%) Jumble Light	5 5/1(+23%)	(11) Jumble Light 5/1, Outpaced and looked in need of further when fourth, beaten 15l, in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time; effective at 2m on good ground; fairly treated on maiden form and could do better over further. Satisfactory fourth behind the in-form Spinola Bay at Navan last month, worth considering.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +76%) Trebizond	12 12/1(+76%)	(3) Trebizond 12/1, Below his best on return from a lengthy absence when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f on a sound surface but must prove what ability remains. Fair form in Ireland and Britain early in his career, showed up well enough on comeback.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -11%) Mo Ghille Mar	20 20/1(-11%)	(4) Mo Ghille Mar 20/1, Produced a poor run when tried in a tongue-tie and finished down the field in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface and needs to bounce back. Useful Flat h'capper for Jessica Harrington, weak hurdles form, tailed off on stable debut.
7th	8 7th (8) (4/1 +47%) Walk On Annilog	4 4/1(+47%)	(8) Walk On Annilog 4/1, Had too much to do having conceded first run and needed the outing when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown last time; effective at 2m on good ground, consistent in maidens and may improve. Can be given an each-way chance in this company following a lively display at Leopardstown.
8th	7 8th (7) (28/1 +15%) Metamorpheus	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Metamorpheus 28/1, Made no impact from off the pace when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective at 2m and suited by a decent surface; well treated on old juvenile form but a frustrating type. No further success since winning a maiden hurdle over C&D three years ago, tough task.
9th	1 9th (1) (33/1 -18%) Black Soul	33 33/1(-18%)	(1) Black Soul 33/1, Again below form when back hurdling and well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Tramore last time; effective at 2m on a sound surface and needs to bounce back. Point and maiden hurdle winner, faded from two out on recent stable debut at Tramore.

ZUZUKEL was narrowly beaten here in November and has obvious claims. Although a 13-race maiden, the son of Frankel showed some promise on the Flat and produced a much improved jumps performance on his latest start. He is 4lb higher, but his rider claims 4lb. Be Fierce hasn't run since a disappointing chase effort in August, but he has winning hurdles form and is suited by heavy ground. He is rated 7lb higher over fences and should compete on his reappearance. Jumble Light offered more encouragement at Navan last month, while Where Are You Now is open to plenty of progression and debuts in handicaps.

A 100-1 chance when contesting her first handicap at Leopardstown, WALK ON ANNILOG is put forward as an each-way option

13:48 Punchestown 19f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (11/1 +83%) Ill Raise A Glass	11 11/1(+83%)	(5) Ill Raise A Glass 11/1, Improved on her hurdles debut but was well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time. Effective at 2m on heavy or good ground and should improve stepping up in trip. Shock bumper winner on good ground at Cork last March, mid-field on hurdling debut.
2	9 2nd (9) (4/7 +86%) Poetisa	0.571429 4/7(+86%)	(9) Poetisa 4/7, The yard won this race last year. Not clear run but showed promise when a neck winner in a mares' bumper at Cheltenham on debut. Returns from a long layoff, effective at 2m1f on good ground, and brings potential to hurdles. Bought for £300,000 after debut win at Cheltenham in May, form has taken several knocks.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +40%) Forceonmyown	6 6/1(+40%)	(4) Forceonmyown 6/1, Ran to form on hurdles debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Had been in good form prior and looks effective from 2m to 2m4f with cut; more to come. Course winner of a six-runner bumper 12 months ago, possibly needed recent Limerick run.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 +20%) Carrigmoorna Beech	20 20/1(+20%)	(2) Carrigmoorna Beech 20/1, Again below form when fourth, beaten 21l, in a bumper at Cork last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 2m with plenty of cut and may show improvement now switching to hurdles. Ground was testing when she won readily at Gowran last January, questions to answer now.
5th	11 5th (11) (200/1 -60%) Thecouncillorswife	200 200/1(-60%)	(11) Thecouncillorswife 200/1, No show from off the pace when down the field in a maiden hurdle here last time. Best watched for now. Made the frame on both starts in points, though well beaten, no impact in two hurdle runs.
6th	7 6th (7) (300/1 -140%) Lizzymac	300 300/1(-140%)	(7) Lizzymac 300/1, No show from off the pace when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time. Has everything to prove at present. No sign of winning potential in three maiden runs over 2m in November/December.
7th	8 7th (8) (250/1 -100%) Nothing Da Now	250 250/1(-100%)	(8) Nothing Da Now 250/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time and could do better once handicapping. Poor form in bumpers and maiden hurdles, headgear combination tried now..
10	10 \|F\| (10) (4/1 +78%) Susie Lenglen	4 4/1(+78%)	(10) Susie Lenglen 4/1, Produced a fair run back over hurdles when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Naas last time. Had been in good form prior; trainer is in form; effective at 2m4f on yielding ground and capable of better. Won a six-runner bumper at Tramore, fair fifth at Naas four weeks ago; place chance now..
3	3 \|F\| (3) (17/2 +87%) Doing It In Style	8.5 17/2(+87%)	(3) Doing It In Style 17/2, Built on her debut when fourth, beaten 8l, in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Effective around 2m on soft or heavy ground and has more to come. Has shown enough to suggest she can pick up a race of some description, tough task here.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (200/1 -60%) Wings Of Africa	200 200/1(-60%)	(12) Wings Of Africa 200/1, Made a modest debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Thurles on her only start. Has plenty to prove. Struggling a long way from home on debut at Thurles in November, can be ruled out.

It was disappointing that Champion Bumper winner BAMBINO FEVER went under on her hurdling debut, but she remains a fine prospect for jumps. Undefeated in four bumpers, including twice at Grade 1 level, she may have needed the run when beaten by smart performer Oldschool Outlaw at Naas, with the third scoring next time. Willie Mullins also saddles Poetisa, who was bought for 300,000 pounds following her debut bumper win at Cheltenham last April but although she could be smart, she debuts over jumps against the race-fit selection. Bumper winners Forceonmyown and Susie Lenglen were each well enough held in recent maidens.

Last season's outstanding bumper performer BAMBINO FEVER can show that her Naas maiden hurdle defeat was just a minor blip

Continues to make steady progress. Form of latest Fairyhouse second franked by winner, up 3lb, leading claims.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/3 +58%) Kinturk Nelson	3.333333 10/3(+58%)	(11) Kinturk Nelson 10/3, Ran to form when finishing 16l third in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle last time. Effective between 2m and 2m6f and suited by soft ground. Inconsistent but fairly treated on best form. Has shaped like further would suit the last twice, interesting stepped up in distance.
4	10 4th (10) (10/1 +38%) Kazbek	10 10/1(+38%)	(10) Kazbek 10/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and goes on good ground. Was progressing before that effort. Decent third on handicap debut, trip/ground possible excuse latest, could rebound.
5th	5 5th (5) (18/1 -13%) Paradise Lost	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Paradise Lost 18/1, Ran to form when back hurdling but was well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time. Effective at 2m on soft ground and could go well again. Flat winner, has so far failed to fire in handicap hurdles, more needed.
6th	16 6th (16) (100/1 -52%) Vallon Du Plessis	100 100/1(-52%)	(16) Vallon Du Plessis 100/1, Pulled up in a Kirkistown maiden last time. Returns from a short break and has yet to show any worthwhile ability. Tailed off in maidens here last season, pulled up in point latest, watch.

Effective between 2m and 2m4f and handles soft ground. Needs to bounce back. Good C&D maiden run a year ago, modest handicap form, could do better back here.
8th	9 8th (9) (14/1 -155%) Kasper Hauser	14 14/1(-155%)	(9) Kasper Hauser 14/1, Pulled up in the Changing Times Brewery Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) at Leopardstown last time. Wears a hood for the first time. Effective at 2m and handles soft and good ground. Needs to bounce back. Highly tried but out of depth last twice, hooded for handicap debut, others appeal more.
9th	6 9th (6) (8/1 -7%) Sarandon	8 8/1(-7%)	(6) Sarandon 8/1, Ran below form when comfortably held in a Cork handicap hurdle last time. Returns after a short break. Effective from 2m1f to 2m3f on a sound surface and may have more to offer. Ability in all three maidens, stayed on over 2m on h'cap debut, longer trip here to suit.

Effective from 2m to 2m4f and handles soft ground. May improve now switching to handicaps. Point winner has struggled in four starts under Rules, hard to fancy on h'cap debut.
13th	14 13th (14) (80/1 -627%) Dahoma	80 80/1(-627%)	(14) Dahoma 80/1, Showed little when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time. Could improve now entering handicaps. Struggled in maiden hurdles for this yard, could improve for handicaps, check market.

Cheekpieces applied for the first time. Usually held up, effective from 2m to 2m6f, and acts on any ground. Needs to bounce back after a short break.

SEAN MC was runner-up to a subsequent winner on just his second handicap start last month and can win from his revised rating. Out of a half-sister to his trainer's high-class Accordion Etoile, the selection's form was initially poor but he showed improvement at Fairyhouse, where he was the subject of a morning gamble. He is 3lb higher but is suited by conditions. Kinturk Nelson is a lightly-raced seven-year-old who ran reasonably well on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse, while Sarandon offered some encouragement on her handicap bow at Cork and steps up in trip.

It is hard to get away from SEAN MAC (nap) after the form of his Fairyhouse second was boosted by the winner at Naas on Friday

Placed in point, Gowran run not devoid of promise but more needed, gelded.
5th	11 5th (11) (125/1 +17%) Royal Soldier	125 125/1(+17%)	(11) Royal Soldier 125/1, Lacked pace when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; could do better once tackling handicaps. Pulled up in sole point, beaten around 40l in bumper and maiden hurdle, others preferred.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 +11%) Double Power	16 16/1(+11%)	(3) Double Power 16/1, Outpaced but promising debut in a good race when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown last time; effective at 2m4f and debut form looks strong, merits consideration. 0-9 in points, late headway on hurdles debut at Leopardstown, place shout.
7th	6 7th (6) (5/1 +23%) Lord Tobin	5 5/1(+23%)	(6) Lord Tobin 5/1, Improved on bumper form when finishing 22l third in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time; effective over 2m with some cut in the ground; strong chance based on that run. Remote third on hurdles debut at Navan, strip fitter now, preferred by Kennedy.
8th	1 8th (1) (50/1 -79%) Albus	50 50/1(-79%)	(1) Albus 50/1, Made mistakes and was green on a modest hurdle debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal on only start; likely to have more to offer for a top yard. Midfield on debut at Down Royal, may improve but overlooked by Kennedy.

KIMI DE MAI won three bumpers in her native France and can now build on some useful hurdling form. Her smart French form was all on testing ground and having run well on her hurdling debut last January, she was subsequently well held at the Cheltenham Festival. Last month's reappearance run was a useful effort in a hot maiden as the Champion Bumper winner finished second, while the third scored last week, and this won't be quite as competitive. Lord Tobin has ability and although beaten 22 lengths on his hurdling debut at Navan, the first two horses are smart performers. Bergamasquo disappointed at Naas, but showed better form previously.

A tentative vote goes to Willie Mullins' mare KIMI DE MAI after her promising seasonal reappearance effort at Naas

Info	Form	Odds
1	15 1st (15) (5/1 +33%) Lough Nigara	5 5/1(+33%)	(15) Lough Nigara 5/1, Travelled, ran to form up in trip 11l third in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse most recent run; usually held up; effective 3m, acts on any; consistent. Extended a sequence of placings when third at Fairyhouse, needs to find a little extra.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +13%) Folly Master	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(1) Folly Master 7/2, Needed the run when comfortably held in a point at Kirkistown last time; in good form previously under rules and returns from a short break; effective from 2m4f to 3m, handles soft ground and could be well treated back hurdling. Beaten a neck off a chase mark of 130 last April, 21lb lower here, has had a point run.
3	7 3rd (7) (17/2 +15%) Rocky's Howya	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(7) Rocky's Howya 17/2, Below form when well beaten back hurdling in a handicap at Cork last time; returns from a short break and is effective at 3m with cut; needs to improve. Prolific winner in points, 0-22 under rules, hard to be confident but may get his turn now.
4	5 4th (5) (33/1 -32%) Cathryns Ruby	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Cathryns Ruby 33/1, Won by 1/2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wexford three starts back; raced too keenly and flattened out on testing ground last time; runs off the same mark here and is effective at 2m4f on both sound and heavy ground; generally in good form. Finished 10l behind today's rival Westernsunrise when fourth at Limerick, others preferred.
5th	17 5th (17) (3/1 +75%) Nettuno Italia	3 3/1(+75%)	(17) Nettuno Italia 3/1, Bit below form when comfortably held in a Limerick handicap hurdle last time; returns from a short break; suited by 3m on soft ground and can go well. Fair form at a modest level, has been costly to follow, may pick up a race at some stage.
6th	2 6th (2) (25/1 -79%) Money Heist	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) Money Heist 25/1, Failed to find much after looking a threat when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Naas last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on any going, but generally better over fences. Disappointing at Naas on first run for this team, well treated relative to best chase form.
7th	14 7th (14) (16/1 +20%) Difficult Decision	16 16/1(+20%)	(14) Difficult Decision 16/1, Ran to his recent level back chasing when comfortably held in a Limerick handicap chase last time; effective from 2m2f to 2m7f on soft ground; veteran who needs more back hurdling but remains capable. Veteran has not done a great deal of racing, good effort over 3m here on penultimate start.
8th	6 8th (6) (40/1 -21%) Cornmarket	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Cornmarket 40/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off an 8lb lower mark at Sligo on his penultimate start; departed just as the race was developing when going well last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m on a sound surface and looks progressive. In fine form since joining this yard and has won three of his last six races, fell latest.
9th	3 9th (3) (25/1 0%) The Man's Room	25 25/1(0%)	(3) The Man's Room 25/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and handles any ground, but remains inconsistent. Beaten when falling at the last in a 2m handicap last time, does not seem well handicapped.
8	8 \|F\| (8) (9/2 +63%) Westernersunrise	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(8) Westernersunrise 9/2, Ran to form when flattening out late back from a break, finishing 5 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective from 2m4f to 2m7f on heavy or soft ground and should come on for that run. Fair third in a mares' handicap at Limerick on first outing since June, could feature.
10th	9 10th (9) (12/1 +40%) Siege Ofjadotville	12 12/1(+40%)	(9) Siege Ofjadotville 12/1, Below form in first-time blinkers when stepped up in trip and may not have stayed, well beaten in a Limerick handicap hurdle last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and suited by soft ground; more required. No recent sign of the form that saw him beat useful yardstick The Nagger Reidy last March.
11th	12 11th (12) (28/1 -12%) Pictures Of Home	28 28/1(-12%)	(12) Pictures Of Home 28/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective at 3m on any ground; needs to prove ability remains after a long absence. Missed all of 2025, pulled up at Fairyhouse on return, Jack Kennedy sticks with him.
12th	18 12th (18) (11/1 +31%) Sock It To Me	11 11/1(+31%)	(18) Sock It To Me 11/1, Given too much to do but stayed on when comfortably held in a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f on heavy ground and capable of better. Left with plenty to do before staying in a 2m4f Fairyhouse handicap, trip should suit.
13th	16 13th (16) (12/1 -50%) Dalmatic	12 12/1(-50%)	(16) Dalmatic 12/1, Nearly hung race away at last, rallied, improved up in trip in first time blinkers landing a handicap by a nose off a 6lb lower mark at Limerick last time; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by plenty of cut; in form, wears headgear for a reason. Battled away in first-time blinkers to win at Limerick, up 6lb, may remain competitive.
14th	20 14th (20) (80/1 -60%) Mahler Appeal	80 80/1(-60%)	(20) Mahler Appeal 80/1, Fell in a Tramore handicap chase last time; effective up to 3m on soft ground; out of form and reverts to hurdling. Has failed to complete three chase starts since tailed off on his most recent hurdles run.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (20/1 +0%) Fighting Falcon	20 20/1(+0%)	(13) Fighting Falcon 20/1, Ran to form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Limerick last time; effective at 2m and handles soft ground; could progress again. Met some trouble in running at Limerick in his first handicap, may do better in time.

The well-bred EMPIRE WALK had shown ordinary form prior to an encouraging run last month. Out of an unraced half-sister to Grand National hero Many Clouds and Grade 1 winner The Tullow Tank, the five-year-old was beaten eight lengths in an ordinary maiden at Naas, but shaped with promise and should be able to score from this sort of figure. Folly Master has a higher chase rating and is well suited by a test of stamina. He had a pipe-opener in a November point-to-point and should compete, despite carrying top weight. Westernersunrise had a nice reappearance at Limerick.

This could be the day on which nine-time points winner ROCKY'S HOWYA gets his act together on the track

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (4/1 +11%) How's Hannah	4 4/1(+11%)	(7) How's Hannah 4/1, Improved when winning a maiden point at Ballynoe by 2l last time; effective at 3m in points, acts with cut; sure to go well on debut for top yard. Sans Frontiere mare, point winner, has joined top yard, has to be considered.
2	14 2nd (14) (9/1 -20%) Think It Through	9 9/1(-20%)	(14) Think It Through 9/1, Travelled well and ran to form when second beaten a neck in a mares' bumper at Limerick last time; effective at 2m with cut and should go well again. Point winner on heavy, beaten a neck at Limerick latest, chance if handles ground.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 +11%) Easily Distracted	16 16/1(+11%)	(4) Easily Distracted 16/1, Showed some promise on debut when 27l fourth in a mares' bumper at Fairyhouse; effective at 2m on soft and should improve. Outpaced before running on for remote fourth on debut, may be capable of better.
4	13 4th (13) (15/2 +6%) Speisialta	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(13) Speisialta 15/2, Walk In The Park mare; half-sister to West With The Wind, smart over 16f, and dam was very smart at 12f; wears a hood for the first time and others look stronger on debut. Walk In The Park mare, from talented family, hooded and tongue-tied, check market.
5th	9 5th (9) (66/1 -313%) Lake Isle	66 66/1(-313%)	(9) Lake Isle 66/1, Crystal Ocean mare out of an unraced sister to a Listed bumper winner; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Crystal Ocean mare, dam unraced, hooded for debut, watch unless market speaks.
6th	11 6th (11) (13/2 +0%) Simply Natural	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(11) Simply Natural 13/2, Ran to form when second beaten a short head in an auction bumper at Naas last time; effective at 2m on soft ground and holds a solid chance. Point winner, denied by a short head at Naas on latest, big player.
7th	2 7th (2) (200/1 -203%) Ballinaboola Hanna	200 200/1(-203%)	(2) Ballinaboola Hanna 200/1, Made a moderate debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper at Thurles on her only start; likely to improve. 33-1 and beaten 37l on debut at Thurles, can only be watched for now.
8th	15 8th (15) (17/2 +39%) Tountinna	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(15) Tountinna 17/2, Ran to form when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a mares' bumper at Thurles last time; effective at 2m with cut but needs more to open her account. Good third here in Nov', 4.75l behind Fastnet Crystal latest, tough to turn that around.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 -33%) Fancy Fox	12 12/1(-33%)	(5) Fancy Fox 12/1, Capri mare; half-sister to Firefox, very smart from 20f to 21f; top trainer and needs considering on debut. Capri mare, half-sister to Firefox and The Bosses Oscar, plenty of appeal on paper.
10th	6 10th (6) (2/1 +27%) Fastnet Crystal	2 2/1(+27%)	(6) Fastnet Crystal 2/1, Promising debut when runner-up beaten 1/2l in a mares' bumper at Thurles; from a top local yard, effective at 2m with cut and has a fair chance. Ran on late for a close second on debut at Thurles, obvious chance with repeat of that.
11th	8 11th (8) (200/1 -506%) Jenina	200 200/1(-506%)	(8) Jenina 200/1, Made a moderate debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper here on her only start; may need more time. 80-1 and failed to beat a rival here on debut, seems safe to rule out.
12th	1 12th (1) (150/1 -127%) Aint Over Yet	150 150/1(-127%)	(1) Aint Over Yet 150/1, Well beaten in a maiden point at Quakerstown last time; effective at 3m in points and needs to show plenty more now under rules. Getaway mare, soundly beaten in both starts in points, unlikely.
13th	12 13th (12) (150/1 -200%) Smart Answer	150 150/1(-200%)	(12) Smart Answer 150/1, Ask mare and sister to Quiz Master, useful at 24f; uncertain whether she has the required speed for this test on debut. Ask mare, sister to winners at 2m4f-2m7f, may need further than this in time, watch.

FASTNET CRYSTAL was heavily supported on her debut but just failed to reward favourite backers. Having been ridden from off the pace she couldn't reel in the winner, though she is likely to have learned plenty and is expected to take the necessary step forward. Simply Natural has been beaten in three bumpers but her most recent Naas effort was extremely promising. Seven-year-old How's Hannah won a point-to-point in March following a lengthy absence and while she debuts for top connections, she might prove vulnerable.

Joseph O'Brien's FASTNET CRYSTAL is taken to go one place better after a highly promising second on debut at Thurles

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.
