1	9 1st (9) (11/4 -10%) Aodhan May		2.75 11/4(-10%)																															(9) Aodhan May 11/4, 16/1, belied market weakness to register a first success over hurdles in 15-runner handicap at Navan (22f, heavy) 10 days ago, leading before last and asserting run-in. 8 lb higher here and she's one to consider. Won 2m6f handicap hurdle at Navan ten days ago, extra 8lb might not be enough to stop her.
2	8 2nd (8) (13/2 +19%) Cosmo Renfro		6.5 13/2(+19%)																															(8) Cosmo Renfro 13/2, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in November. 5/1, shaped as if still in good form when third of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (23f, heavy) 23 days ago. Consistent lately though well adrift of the first two when third here last time..
3	5 3rd (5) (25/1 -56%) See A Stride		25 25/1(-56%)																															(5) See A Stride 25/1, 33/1, offered little after 21 months off when tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.3f, soft) 38 days ago. Up in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Failed to make an impact on handicap debut at this venue last month on reappearance.
4	4 4th (4) (9/2 +10%) Cher Why Not		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(4) Cher Why Not 9/2, 5/1, typically gave his running when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24.2f, heavy) 51 days ago, unlucky to bump into a big improver. Has to be taken seriously. Retains ability at the veteran stage, placed on all three starts this season, stays well.
5th	10 5th (10) (22/1 +33%) Cloudy Fountain		22 22/1(+33%)																															(10) Cloudy Fountain 22/1, Hooded for 1st time, fared no better when ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy, 10/1) 4 months ago. Point winner, 0-9 hurdling, fair fourth at Limerick last May, has failed to build on that.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/1 +29%) Bocelli's Voice		5 5/1(+29%)																															(1) Bocelli's Voice 5/1, 9/2, bounced back to form when fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.6f, heavy) 51 days ago. Up in trip. Some merit in his last three runs but needs to find a bit extra to defy top weight here.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/2 -10%) Kiln Time		5.5 11/2(-10%)																															(6) Kiln Time 11/2, 16/5 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, wasted no time getting back to form on first run since leaving Michael J. Bowe when second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy) 22 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Beaten 12l when second on stable debut over 2m5f at Limerick, solid place chance.
8th	2 8th (2) (7/1 -75%) Duffys Getaway		7 7/1(-75%)																															(2) Duffys Getaway 7/1, Course winner. Good second of 12 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Fairyhouse (24f, heavy) 25 days ago, collared late on having gone clear soon after 2 out. Can give another good account. Much-improved this term, up an aggregate 26lb since November but may remain competitive.
9th	11 9th (11) (14/1 +58%) Ferrum		14 14/1(+58%)																															(11) Ferrum 14/1, Ran as well as he has when fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, heavy, 16/1) 2 weeks ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Needs to brush up on his jumping. One of his better efforts when fourth over 2m4f at Fairyhouse a fortnight ago, more needed.
10th	3 10th (3) (50/1 -100%) I Don't Get It		50 50/1(-100%)																															(3) I Don't Get It 50/1, Hinted at a revival when fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Down Royal (20.4f, heavy, 16/1) 29 days ago, no extra between last 2. Switches from chase to hurdles. Up in trip. Weak hurdles form in recent months, best run this term over fences at Down Royal on latest.

An 8lb rise for Aodhan May's Navan victory earlier in the month looks more than fair and Charles Byrnes' mare warrants respect in her follow-up bid. However, DUFFYS GETAWAY looked set to regain the winning thread at Fairyhouse last month but for idling towards the finish and coming home in second. There still appears to be more races in the seven-year-old and he edges the vote. Fellow in-form rivals Cher Why Not and Kiln Time should give another good account of themselves.

Plenty in with chances but preference is for veteran CHER WHY NOT, who is holding his form really well this season and was unlucky to bump into a big improver at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. He can get the better of Aodhan May, who belied market weakness to register a first success over hurdles at Navan 10 days ago and could kick on now up and running. Native Gold and Cosmo Renfro can fight out third.

Seemingly not much fancied when winning at Navan two weeks ago, AODHAN MAY has realistic prospects of going in again off 8lb higher

Going the right way and should be on the premises. Excellent C&D third behind Silent Flight on first run after a long layoff, same rider.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/4 +44%) Beau's Candle		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(9) Beau's Candle 9/4, 22/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Tipperary (19.5f, soft), dropping away around halfway. Off 7 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving John Gerard Fitzgerald. Has been showing consistent form in point-to-points and looks capable of a big run here.

Should continue to give a good account. Up in trip now after making the frame on her last three starts, a leading contender.
4	3 4th (3) (16/1 +11%) John The Diva		16 16/1(+11%)																															(3) John The Diva 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 100/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 22 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should have more to offer. Second of three maidens hurdle runs was mildly promising, given plenty of weight for this.
5th	11 5th (11) (7/1 -8%) Getaway Master		7 7/1(-8%)																															(11) Getaway Master 7/1, 9/2, creditable second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, heavy) 116 days ago. Enters calculations. 13-race maiden over hurdles but worth considering based on three solid Galway runs.
6th	6 6th (6) (10/1 +50%) Lilian Bland		10 10/1(+50%)																															(6) Lilian Bland 10/1, Shaped as if still in form fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy, 12/1) 28 days ago.

7th	14 7th (14) (22/1 -38%) Legacy Of Dreams		22 22/1(-38%)																															(14) Legacy Of Dreams 22/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Winner in chase at Limerick in May. 14/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Clonmel (20.4f, heavy) 104 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Winning chaser, 0-9 over hurdles, well beaten off higher chase mark at Clonmel on latest.
8th	10 8th (10) (80/1 -220%) Meoulflower		80 80/1(-220%)																															(10) Meoulflower 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, heavy) 29 days ago. Ordinary maiden form, beaten almost 30l in fifth on handicap debut at Down Royal.
9th	13 9th (13) (25/1 +0%) Kate Ill Know		25 25/1(+0%)																															(13) Kate Ill Know 25/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 22/1, last of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 54 days ago.

12	12 |U| (12) (8/1 +76%) Joe's Turn		8 8/1(+76%)																															(12) Joe's Turn 8/1, 33/1, 32¾ lengths seventh of 14 to Silent Flight in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, heavy) 23 days ago.

10th	8 10th (8) (80/1 -142%) Knock On Steel		80 80/1(-142%)																															(8) Knock On Steel 80/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (28/1) at this course (19.7f, soft) 38 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving R. Donohoe. Good form in 2020, has struggled for two different trainers this season, new yard now.
11th	15 11th (15) (28/1 -211%) Monoxide		28 28/1(-211%)																															(15) Monoxide 28/1, Visored for 1st time, good second of 14 in handicap chase at Down Royal (20.4f, heavy, 22/1) 29 days ago, having benefit of enterprising ride. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. 0-36 over jumps, perhaps some chance of breakthrough after recent second over fences.
12th	2 12th (2) (33/1 +0%) Falvio		33 33/1(+0%)																															(2) Falvio 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17f, soft, 40/1) 57 days ago. Two Flat wins and placed over hurdles for Tony Martin, modest form for this stable so far.
5	5 |PU| (5) (40/1 -82%) Another Red Cat		40 40/1(-82%)																															(5) Another Red Cat 40/1, 33/1, twelfth of 22 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.7f, heavy) 52 days ago.

Getaway Master picked up plenty of minor money at Galway during the autumn but he lacks the recent run of SILENT FLIGHT, who showed his appreciation for the step up from 2m when getting off the mark over C&D and is open to plenty more improvement. Shana Cloon is the one who rises in distance now and has been threatening to win a race. Balum wasn't that far behind the selection last time and might close the gap a little.

SILENT FLIGHT took a marked step forward to justify support here last time and, with further progress on the cards, he's a solid candidate to go in again. Getaway Master and Shana Cloon, both runner-up last time, are two of several others who merit respect.

The five-year-old SHANA CLOON is more likely to be capable of improvement than many of these and may be suited by this rise in trip

1	6 1st (6) (8/15 +58%) Sermandzarak		0.533333 8/15(+58%)																															(6) Sermandzarak 8/15, €80,000 3-y-o, Zarak gelding. Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to 2 winners, including fair hurdler Sermando. Dam jump/1¼m winner on Flat in Italy. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and worth chancing to make a winning start. Obviously respected from these quarters and likely one of the market leaders.
2	5 2nd (5) (22/1 -175%) Real Empire		22 22/1(-175%)																															(5) Real Empire 22/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1 and hooded, third of 6 in bumper at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 27 days ago, not knocked about. Was quite green at Gowran and could be capable of real progress but others still preferred.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 -180%) Harry's Dream		14 14/1(-180%)																															(4) Harry's Dream 14/1, Once-raced maiden. Second of 6 in bumper (10/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 27 days ago, clear of rest. Could do better. Should come on for Gowran effort but might find one or two too good once more.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 -157%) Delta Force		18 18/1(-157%)																															(3) Delta Force 18/1, 15,000 gns 3-y-o, Fastnet Rock gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Clear White Light and bumper winner Daytona Beach. Dam 7f/1m winner. Nice mix of middle-distance sepped and stamina in his pedigree; probably best watched.
2	2 |DQ| (2) (5/2 +9%) Colcannon		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(2) Colcannon 5/2, Once-raced maiden. 17/2, third of 14 in bumper at Naas (16f, soft) on NH debut 40 days ago. Worth considering. Close third in an unraced bumper at Naas last month; sets a decent standard.
1	1 |PU| (1) (25/1 -25%) Ben Purple		25 25/1(-25%)																															(1) Ben Purple 25/1, €27,000 3-y-o, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to useful chaser The Long Mile, stays 25f, and unreliable but fairly useful hurdler Larkbarrow Lad, stayed 25f. Very solid jumping pedigree; may find a few too good but interesting for future reference.

Harry's Dream and Real Empire made the podium behind a smart prospect of Robcour's on Thyestes day at Gowran but they bump into another interesting type in the same ownership in the shape of SERMANDZARAK, who cost 80,000 euros. The Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old has a useful Flat pedigree, as does Godolphin cast-off Delta Force, while Colcannon offered plenty of encouragement when third at Naas and has to be feared.

SERMANDZARAK has the speed in his pedigree to be capable in this sphere and he's in top hands, so he may be up to making a successful debut at the possible expense of Colcannon, who makes most appeal of those with experience.

A good standard is set by close Naas third COLCANNON and he can go a couple of places better here

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.
