1	5 1st (5) (3/10 +59%) Mercurey		0.3 3/10(+59%)																															(5) Mercurey 3/10, Promising individual. 10/3, creditable third of 22 in novice hurdle at this course (16.7f, soft) 22 days ago. The one to beat. Encouraging return over C&D last month, will very be hard to beat with normal progress.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 +0%) Lightkeeper		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(4) Lightkeeper 7/2, Promising type. 10/1, second of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Big player with improvement on the cards. Leading contender on the strength of his second to the smart Tullyhill at Leopardstown.
3	9 3rd (9) (15/2 -15%) Supreme Ruler		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(9) Supreme Ruler 15/2, €95,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart French chaser (stayed 2¾m) Dream Wish out of French 21f chase winner Ladies Wish. Likely type on paper and the market should be revealing. First foal, dam unraced half-sister to a useful French chase winner, in good hands.
4	10 4th (10) (25/1 -56%) The Story So Far		25 25/1(-56%)																															(10) The Story So Far 25/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Seventh of 12 in novice hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 28/1) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. Decent form in bumpers culminating in Limerick win, jumping was ragged at Navan.
5th	2 5th (2) (250/1 -213%) Fremantle Doctor		250 250/1(-213%)																															(2) Fremantle Doctor 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, eighth of 11 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 80/1) on NH debut 9 days ago. Pulled up on only point start in 2022, towards the rear on his recent hurdling debut.
6th	8 6th (8) (100/1 -100%) Ragmans Corner		100 100/1(-100%)																															(8) Ragmans Corner 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, fifteenth of 28 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Well beaten on both completed starts over hurdles, unlikely to feature.
7th	11 7th (11) (100/1 -52%) Arthur's Victory		100 100/1(-52%)																															(11) Arthur's Victory 100/1, Fair Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 20/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 20 days ago, lost all chance at start. Hooded for 1st time. 3-25 on the Flat, all wins in Britain, has struggled since joining this stable, hooded now.
8th	7 8th (7) (250/1 -213%) Our Chezney		250 250/1(-213%)																															(7) Our Chezney 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.3f, heavy) 9 days ago, pulled up. Hooded for 1st time. No sign of worthwhile form in four outings, pulled up on both attempts over hurdles.
9th	1 9th (1) (200/1 -100%) Bossofthebus		200 200/1(-100%)																															(1) Bossofthebus 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 150/1, eighteenth of 22 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 30 days ago. First run in a bumper was respectable, does not appeal based on his hurdle runs.
12	12 |F| (12) (18/1 +10%) Karacole		18 18/1(+10%)																															(12) Karacole 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. Very good fourth of 22 in novice hurdle (200/1) at this course (16.7f, soft) 22 days ago. Another sizeable step forward required. Flat winner in France in 2020, major improvement on last start but well held by Mercurey.
13	13 |F| (13) (66/1 -450%) Milan Dollar Lady		66 66/1(-450%)																															(13) Milan Dollar Lady 66/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Milan mare. Half-sister to top-class chaser Road To Respect. Market should point the way. Half-sister to hurdle/high-class chase winner Road To Respect, worth a look for reference.
10th	3 10th (3) (25/1 -213%) I Get It		25 25/1(-213%)																															(3) I Get It 25/1, €68,000 3-y-o, Telescope gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdler Martha Divine, and useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Honest John. Dam unraced. One to note in the betting. Brother to a winning hurdler, half-brother to five winners including the useful Out Sam.
14	14 |PU| (14) (150/1 -275%) Tint And Glow		150 150/1(-275%)																															(14) Tint And Glow 150/1, €4,200 3-y-o, Mount Nelson mare. Dam unraced sister to fair hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Princess Mononoke, and half-sister to smart dual bumper winner Killyglass. Will probably come on for the run. First foal out of an unraced mare, not a bad pedigree but unlikely to be a major player.

MERCUREY made a pleasing return to action here when finishing third on his first outing for 13 months and the six-year-old remains open to a fair amount of improvement. Lightkeeper shaped with promise on his Rules debut when chasing home Tullyhill at Naas and that experience is likely to stand him in good stead going forward. Supreme Ruler is bred to be useful and commands respect along with Milan Dollar Lady, who is a half-sister to Grade 1-winning chaser Road To Respect.

This represents a good opportunity for MERCUREY, who was third in a big-field maiden won by his potentially smart stablemate Lisnagar Fortune a few weeks ago. He is entitled to come on for that (first run following a 13-month break) and, with very few miles on the clock, he remains open to improvement. Lightkeeper made a promising start under Rules at Naas last month and he is second choice ahead of likely-looking newcomers Supreme Ruler and I Get It, both of whom need a market check.

Following a solid display behind stablemate Lisnagar Fortune over C&D last month, MERCUREY should be too strong for these rivals.

1	5 1st (5) (8/11 +42%) Linden Arden		0.727273 8/11(+42%)																															(5) Linden Arden 8/11, Fair hurdler. 10/11, first run since leaving Michael J. Bowe when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, soft) 38 days ago. Pulled too hard there and well worth another chance. Disappointing favourite for Mullins on his handicap debut; probably worth another chance.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/1 -13%) Pirate Island		9 9/1(-13%)																															(7) Pirate Island 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Creditable third of 14 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 25 days ago. Up in trip and can go well again. Solid efforts in heavy ground maidens; step up in trip could well suit and respected here.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/1 -75%) Chiefs Kingdom		7 7/1(-75%)																															(2) Chiefs Kingdom 7/1, Fair hurdler. Respectable fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy, 11/1) 39 days ago. Stable having good spell. Blinkers on 1st time. Well in the mix. First-time headgear combination tried here and has the rating to be competitive.
4	6 4th (6) (11/1 -38%) Magic Sadler		11 11/1(-38%)																															(6) Magic Sadler 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/1, creditable third of 14 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.3f, heavy) 9 days ago, running on. Shortlisted. Good third in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last month; going the right way and has a chance.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 -25%) All For Rachel		5 5/1(-25%)																															(1) All For Rachel 5/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. Good second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 9/1) 16 days ago. Can give a good account. 0-13 under rules but runner-up on three of his last four starts; should go well.
6th	4 6th (4) (125/1 -213%) Falcon Park		125 125/1(-213%)																															(4) Falcon Park 125/1, Modest chaser. Remains a maiden after 11 hurdle runs. Creditable second of 19 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy, 20/1) 128 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Second in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Gowran in September; plenty to find on ratings though.
3	3 |PU| (3) (9/1 +10%) Ebenezer Scrooge		9 9/1(+10%)																															(3) Ebenezer Scrooge 9/1, Fair hurdler. Thirteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 18/1) 79 days ago so needs to bounce back. Has ran poorly on his last three starts including handicap debut last time; lots to prove.

Linden Arden was sent off at a short price for a Leopardstown handicap on his debut for the Willie Mullins yard and while he disappointed that day, it would be no surprise to see him bounce back now returned to maiden company. All For Rachel must be considered on the back of a handicap second at Navan recently and Magic Sadler made the frame in a similar event nine days ago, but it could pay to take a chance on PIRATE ISLAND. Third over 2m the last twice, he has been doing his best work at the finish and he should relish this step up in trip.

LINDEN ARDEN couildn't make a winning start for Willie Mullins when sixth at Leopardstown but went too freely after an absence there and remains one to be interested in for his new handler. Pirate Island and Chiefs Kingdom both arrive in good order and can chase home the selection in that order.

It might well be worth giving another chance to LINDEN ARDEN om his second run for Closutton after a disappointing opening run

1	8 1st (8) (2/1 +60%) Morricone		2 2/1(+60%)																															(8) Morricone 2/1, 5/2, career best when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16.2f, soft) 21 days ago, comfortably. Back up in trip. 9 lb higher in a stronger race now but he's heading in the right direction. Up 9lb for latest win and steps back up in trip, but very much respected on that form.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 -80%) Shannon Royale		4.5 9/2(-80%)																															(1) Shannon Royale 9/2, Course maiden winner in November. Disappointing when eighth of 11 in listed handicap hurdle (3/1) at Navan (20f, heavy) since but might be worth another chance with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces. Might still proved well-handicapped off this mark and blinkers are tried; could go well.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 +7%) Petit King		6.5 13/2(+7%)																															(6) Petit King 13/2, Course winner. Winner in hurdle here in December. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, soft, 12/1) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Unable to match previous win at Leopardstown subsequently and cheekpieces are tried today.
4	5 4th (5) (10/1 +29%) Chosen Thyme		10 10/1(+29%)																															(5) Chosen Thyme 10/1, 7/2, below form fourth of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (22.9f, soft) 21 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Others preferred but should do better today and likely to appreciate the drop in trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (13/2 -8%) Fiveonefive		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(2) Fiveonefive 13/2, 3 wins from 7 runs this season. Third of 5 in minor event hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 5/1) 16 days ago, not knocked about. Back up in trip. Shortlist material. Close as he was entitled in a Navan novice event last month; chance in a competitive race.
6th	7 6th (7) (13/2 -30%) Intent Approach		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(7) Intent Approach 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 5/2, fell fifth in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, heavy) 15 days ago, going in snatches. Up in trip. Respected, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Faller on his handicap debut at Thurles; a likely factor here if that has not left a mark.
7th	4 7th (4) (7/1 -8%) Prince Palace		7 7/1(-8%)																															(4) Prince Palace 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fine third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft, 5/1) 23 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Drops back in trip here and no surprise should he try to make it a test; each-way chance.
8th	3 8th (3) (16/1 -100%) Sign From Above		16 16/1(-100%)																															(3) Sign From Above 16/1, Winner in hurdle at Navan in September. Bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy, 12/1) 114 days ago. Pretty versatile as to ground and might well be primed for a big run after a nice break.

SHANNON ROYALE claimed the scalp of the well-regarded Tullyhll when easily landing a maiden hurdle here in November, so it was disappointing that he failed to land a blow in a Listed handicap the following month. However, he sports first-time blinkers now and Gordon Elliott's six-year-old looks worth another chance dropping in class. Morricone was a ready winner of a handicap over the extended 2m here three weeks ago and he could prove the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Prince Palace.

SHANNON ROYALE failed to do himself justice when joint-favourite for a good-quality handicap at Navan last time but had been progressive prior to that, including a course maiden win, and is given another chance in first-time blinkers. Prince Palace made a solid start to his handicap career when third at Fairyhouse last month and is feared most unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding Intent Approach.

Preference is for INTENT APPROACH, a faller when fancied at Thurles last time but worth another chance off a potentially friendly mark

Respected. Second last time;cheekpieces retained here and likely to get involved despite going up 4lb.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/4 +57%) No Fussing		1.5 6/4(+57%)																															(6) No Fussing 6/4, 7/2, good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at this course (22.9f, soft) 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there again. Touched off by a well handicapped horse over C&D last month; up 2lb but a leading chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (15/2 -67%) Bestaline		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(4) Bestaline 15/2, Good third of 11 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at this course (20.3f, soft) 22 days ago. One to consider. Good run here last month and should be suited by this step up in trip; could play a hand.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +56%) Lizlucky		4 4/1(+56%)																															(8) Lizlucky 4/1, Bit below form fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Fairyhouse (24.2f, heavy) 35 days ago. Decent third in a 3m handicap here in December but failed to build on that at Fairyhouse.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 +0%) Get Down To It		14 14/1(+0%)																															(9) Get Down To It 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in novice hurdle (66/1) at this course (20.2f, soft) 21 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and suspect she can do better if her jumping improves. Handicap debut and looks the stable first-string; interesting to see what the market does.
6th	2 6th (2) (28/1 -40%) Hidden Land		28 28/1(-40%)																															(2) Hidden Land 28/1, 28/1, sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.3f, soft) 22 days ago. Well beaten in a pair of handicap hurdles after a fruitless spell at Dundalk; no appeal.
7th	5 7th (5) (50/1 -52%) Katherine		50 50/1(-52%)																															(5) Katherine 50/1, Last of 16 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at this course (16.5f, soft) 81 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Lost her way of late and tailed off here in November; best form is on better ground.
3	3 |F| (3) (33/1 -313%) Whatucallher		33 33/1(-313%)																															(3) Whatucallher 33/1, Fairly useful hurdler at her peak. Off 19 months. First run for yard after leaving Eddie & Patrick Harty. The betting may guide. Debuts for Tom Gibney here and probably best watched on her first start for 19 months.
1	1 |U| (1) (4/1 +0%) Sarah Beara		4 4/1(+0%)																															(1) Sarah Beara 4/1, Winner in hurdle at Wexford in August. 7/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, heavy) 41 days ago, needing stronger gallop. One to consider. Solid third in a 2m4f mares handicap at Limerick over Christmas; stays this trip well.

The stoutly-bred BESTALINE offered far more encouragement when a staying-on third over an extended 2m 4f here recently. This rise in distance could do the trick for Gordon Elliott's mare and a breakthrough victory over hurdles may be on the cards. Although a 7lb rise will make life tougher for last month's Clonmel scorer Lissen To The Lady, the veteran still warrants respect in her current mood. She may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the unexposed Pipers Boreen.

NO FUSSING made a well-backed rapid improver work hard for the win here 3 weeks ago and could be the way to go. Clonmel-winner Lissen to The Lady and Pipers Boreen are a couple of the other likely players in a good contest.

The one to beat could well be NO FUSSING(nap), whose excellent second over C&D last time showed that she is thriving on racing

2	4 2nd (4) (15/8 +46%) Kinturk Kalanisi		1.875 15/8(+46%)																															(4) Kinturk Kalanisi 15/8, Twice-raced maiden. 15/2, third of 10 in novice hurdle at Cork (24f, heavy) 30 days ago. Might not be ridden so positively this time and will have a big say if coming home better.

Can make presence felt. Staying on third in a C&D maiden hurdle latest; going the right way and can be involved.

5th	2 5th (2) (125/1 -89%) Cloughroe		125 125/1(-89%)																															(2) Cloughroe 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (22.9f, soft) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Modest form in three maiden hurdles and makes little appeal; tried in a tongue-tie here.
6	6 |PU| (6) (6/1 -9%) One Big Bang		6 6/1(-9%)																															(6) One Big Bang 6/1, Fair hurdler. 9/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, heavy) 9 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Tongue-tie tried as he reverts back to maiden company; should run his race.
8	8 |PU| (8) (80/1 -1043%) Ringcraft		80 80/1(-1043%)																															(8) Ringcraft 80/1, Runner-up on sole outing in point. 9/2, pulled up in hunter chase at Clonmel (21f, heavy) on NH debut 25 days ago, pulled up. Makes hurdles debut. Ran no race on his track debut at Clonmel last month; a line can be drawn through that.
7	7 |PU| (7) (125/1 -279%) Quintin Turnball		125 125/1(-279%)																															(7) Quintin Turnball 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) on NH debut 25 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not disgraced on his hurdles debut at Clonmel last month; liable to do better in time.
3	3 |PU| (3) (150/1 -127%) Hesasmoothoperator		150 150/1(-127%)																															(3) Hesasmoothoperator 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in novice hurdle (150/1) at this course (22.9f, soft) 21 days ago. Soundly beaten in two maiden hurdles and needs this for a handicap mark.

LUCKY LYREEN gets the nod in this maiden hurdle finale and ought to go very close on a reproduction of his latest second to O'Moore Park, who is a really promising novice hurdler representing Willie Mullins' yard. The six-year-old is edging closer to the target, seemingly improving between runs, and this could be the time to catch him. Kinturk Kalanisi boasts a similar profile following an improved display at Cork last time, while chances are also given to Bossofthebrownies and One Big Bang.

Bumper winner LUCKY LYREEN is starting to get the hang of things over hurdles now and this looks a good opportunity up in trip. Bossofthebrownies is feared most ahead of Kinturk Kalanisi.

There was lots to like about the run of BOSSOFTHEBROWNIES over C&D last time and he can make the required improvement

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.
