1	3 1st (3) (2.75/1 +31%) Kilcruit		2.75 2.75/1(+31%)																															(3) Kilcruit 2.75/1, 15¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Mighty Potter in Scalp Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (21.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 82 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. One for the shortlist. Sights lowered after Grade 1 attempts, Paul Townend's choice over identically-rated pair.
2	14 2nd (14) (28/1 +30%) Jody Ted		28 28/1(+30%)																															(14) Jody Ted 28/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in December. 14/1 and hooded for 1st time, fell in handicap chase at Navan (23.5f, heavy) 39 days ago. Mixed form since Clonmel beginners' win, not consistent enough to be a betting proposition.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.6/1 +10%) Life In The Park		3.6 3.6/1(+10%)																															(6) Life In The Park 3.6/1, Good 2¾ lengths third of 6 to Thedevilscoachman in Gr 3 chase (10/3) at Limerick (24.6f, soft) 33 days ago, running on late. Makes handicap chase debut. Not taken lightly. Handicap hurdle winner off 119 at last year's festival, now 138 for first handicap chase.
4	5 4th (5) (5.5/1 +39%) Grandero Bello		5.5 5.5/1(+39%)																															(5) Grandero Bello 5.5/1, 13/8, creditable 2½ lengths second of 6 to Thedevilscoachman in Gr 3 chase at Limerick (24.6f, soft) 33 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap chase debut. Useful novice who is closely matched with Life In The Park on Grade 3 running at Limerick.
5th	10 5th (10) (33/1 -32%) Tullybeg		33 33/1(-32%)																															(10) Tullybeg 33/1, Seven wins from 20 NH runs. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. 7/1, fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (19.8f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Won twice in the first half of the season, absent since Cheltenham defeat in October.
6th	2 6th (2) (18/1 -50%) Authorized Art		18 18/1(-50%)																															(2) Authorized Art 18/1, 4 wins from 8 runs this season. Fifth of 8 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (19.8f, good to soft, 28/1) 19 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Three chase wins in the first half of the season, drops in class with stable's other two.
7th	11 7th (11) (14/1 +13%) Slip Of The Tongue		14 14/1(+13%)																															(11) Slip Of The Tongue 14/1, Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Eighth of 12 in handicap chase at Navan (23.5f, heavy, 5/1) 39 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Two 2m hurdle wins, Gowran third behind Grandero Bello potentially puts him in the mix.
8th	13 8th (13) (25/1 -14%) Sit Down Lucy		25 25/1(-14%)																															(13) Sit Down Lucy 25/1, Useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Well-beaten fifth of 7 to Instit in listed chase (40/1) at Fairyhouse (21.7f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Best form has been at Galway, hurdles win there last year was gained off 7lb lower mark.
9th	9 9th (9) (20/1 +9%) Largy Debut		20 20/1(+9%)																															(9) Largy Debut 20/1, Respectable second of 8 in novice chase (13/8) at Cork (20f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Must improve. Appears flattered by his form-figures in the novice grade, does not seem well handicapped.
8	8 |F| (8) (66/1 -200%) Hallowed Star		66 66/1(-200%)																															(8) Hallowed Star 66/1, Useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Pulled up in minor event chase (11/2) at Fairyhouse (21f, heavy) 128 days ago, dropping away approaching 3 out. Makes handicap chase debut. Faller here in November, jumping let him down at Fairyhouse, a little risky at this stage.
7	7 |U| (7) (6/1 -50%) So Scottish		6 6/1(-50%)																															(7) So Scottish 6/1, Promising individual. 3 wins from 8 runs this season. 11/2, shaped well when respectable seventh of 23 in Magners Plate at Cheltenham Festival (20.6f, soft) 43 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Prominent for a long way in the Magners Plate at Cheltenham, solid chance on overall form.
1	1 |PU| (1) (11/1 -22%) Adamantly Chosen		11 11/1(-22%)																															(1) Adamantly Chosen 11/1, Course winner. Sixth of 8 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (19.8f, good to soft, 16/1) 19 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. One to bear in mind on pick of form. All five outings in Grade 1s since course win last November, last year's winning rider.
15	15 |PU| (15) (12/1 +70%) Carrig Sam		12 12/1(+70%)																															(15) Carrig Sam 12/1, Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 6/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 5 in minor event chase at Down Royal (19.6f, soft) 42 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes handicap chase debut. Reassuring that he managed to complete the course last time, others have stronger claims.
12	12 |PU| (12) (25/1 +24%) Aarons Day		25 25/1(+24%)																															(12) Aarons Day 25/1, Latest win in chase at Naas in January. 9/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Won a Naas novice handicap in January, below that form since, soundly beaten at Fairyhouse.

LTO Selection:

4/1 (3) KILCRUIT seems to be a strong contender based on being Paul Townend's choice and having promising overall form. 4/1 (6) LIFE IN THE PARK and 9/1 (5) GRANDERO BELLO also have good Grade 3 running form and are worth considering. 10/1 (4) MACS CHARM and 12/1 (2) AUTHORIZED ART both have recent wins and could have potential in handicap chases. However, horses like 22/1 (8) HALLOWED STAR and 25/1 (10) TULLYBEG may be risky due to recent poor form or long absences.

LIFE IN THE PARK has an each-way chance at the prices. Henry de Bromhead's six-year-old gelding made a highly encouraging seasonal reappearance at Limerick when nearest at the finish in a close third in a Grade 3 novice chase. There ought to be plenty more to come from him in this sphere. He won the Adare Manor Opportunity Final Handicap Hurdle at last season's Punchestown Festival. Kilcruit is three from four across all codes (a Grade 1 bumper, a maiden hurdle and a beginners' chase) at Punchestown. His last two unplaced outings came in Grade 1 company over fences and he is clearly a big player in this company. Emmet Mullins' So Scottish is very talented and can rebound from an unplaced run at Cheltenham. Grandero Bello was a neck in front of Life In The Park in second at Limerick and gets first-time cheekpieces. Dropping back in trip will suit him.

SO SCOTTISH shaped well when seventh in the Magners Plate at Cheltenham Festival 6 weeks ago, travelling strongly for a long way before the lack of a recent run told, and that should leave him spot on now. Life In The Park shaped much better than the bare result in a Grade 3 at Limerick last month and is of interest now handicapping, while Kilcruit heads a strong team for Willie Mullins.

A hard race to get a handle on with three Mullins runners at the top of the handicap. None of the trio may cope with GRANDERO BELLO

1	3 1st (3) (0.73/1 +20%) Impervious		0.73 0.73/1(+20%)																															(3) Impervious 0.73/1, Promising sort. 15/8, career best when winning 9-runner Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago by 2½ lengths from Allegorie De Vassy, going clear. Obvious claims. Battled well to win the Mares' chase at Cheltenham last month to make it 4-4 over fences.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +23%) Instit		5 5/1(+23%)																															(7) Instit 5/1, Useful chaser. 15/2, career best when winning 7-runner listed chase at Fairyhouse (21.7f, good to soft) 20 days ago by 9½ lengths from Allegorie De Vassy. Not taken lightly. Took her form to a new level with Listed win latest over stablemate Allegorie De Vassy.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.33/1 -21%) Allegorie De Vassy		3.33 3.33/1(-21%)																															(1) Allegorie De Vassy 3.33/1, Smart chaser. Respectable 9½ lengths second of 7 to Instit in listed chase at Fairyhouse (21.7f, good to soft, 4/9) 20 days ago, folding. Shortlisted on pick of form. Consistent and has run well behind Impervious and Instit last 2 starts but may be exposed.
4	2 4th (2) (18/1 +45%) Elimay		18 18/1(+45%)																															(2) Elimay 18/1, Useful hurdler. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable 15½ lengths fifth of 9 to Impervious in Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) (20/1) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Unlikely to be good enough judged on this season's form. 2nd in this last year after Cheltenham success but doesn't arrive in the same form.
6	6 |F| (6) (200/1 +20%) Echoes Of Family		200 200/1(+20%)																															(6) Echoes Of Family 200/1, Fair chaser. One win from 26 NH runs. Fourth of 6 in handicap chase (15/2) at Navan (20.4f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Out of her depth. 1-15 over fences; rated 43lb below her closest rival..
4	4 |PU| (4) (12/1 -50%) Riviere D'etel		12 12/1(-50%)																															(4) Riviere D'etel 12/1, Smart chaser. Course winner. Fell in Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) (18/1) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 42 days ago won by Impervious. Jumping remains a concern. Turned over at odds on at Carlisle and fell after a mistake at Cheltenham since.

LTO Selection:

0.91/1 (3) IMPERVIOUS is likely to do well based on the summary. She has won her last four races over fences and had a career-best win at Cheltenham last month. She has obvious claims and is a promising sort. 2.75/1 (1) ALLEGORIE DE VASSY and 6.5/1 (7) INSTIT also have respectable chances, having run well in their previous races. 33/1 (2) ELIMAY and 250/1 (6) ECHOES OF FAMILY are unlikely to be good enough, based on their recent form.

IMPERVIOUS has been a joy to watch over fences and is taken to maintain her unbeaten record in this discipline. She was a more than useful hurdler in winning a Grade 3 in Down Royal, but has taken her form to a whole new level over the bigger obstacles. She is a perfect four from four including the Grade 2 mares' chase at Cheltenham where she won a battle on the run-in with Allegorie De Vassy. The latter comes back for more and is a threat as she is the closest to Impervious on ratings (4lb inferior). She has had a run since Cheltenham when clearly not at her best in second at Fairyhouse. Instit, a stablemate of Allegorie De Vassy, beat her at Fairyhouse and has a shot at finishing in front of her again.

IMPERVIOUS maintained her unbeaten record over fences with a very smart performance when readily beating Allegorie de Vassy in the Mrs Paddy Power Mares' Chase (Liberthine) at the Cheltenham Festival 6 weeks ago and should prove hard to beat once more. Allegorie de Vassy can follow her home again despite a rather disappointing performance at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago.

IMPERVIOUS (nap) is the one to beat after her Cheltenham success last month and she arrives fresher than her two main rivals

1	4 1st (4) (0.4/1 +0%) State Man		0.4 0.4/1(+0%)																															(4) State Man 0.4/1, Top-class hurdler. 7/2, 9 lengths second of 7 to Constitution Hill in Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) 45 days ago. Stable in good form. Very much the one to beat. Won four Grade 1s in a row before no match for Constitution Hill, can regain the thread.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.33/1 +39%) Vauban		3.33 3.33/1(+39%)																															(5) Vauban 3.33/1, High-class hurdler. C&D winner. 15¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Constitution Hill in Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft, 16/1) 45 days ago. Stable having good spell. Considered for place purposes. Top juvenile hurdler last season, high-class form this term but safely held by State Man.
3	1 3rd (1) (33/1 +50%) Colonel Mustard		33 33/1(+50%)																															(1) Colonel Mustard 33/1, Smart hurdler. Creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Ayr (16f, good) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Hard to make a case for here, though. Chased home Rubaud in the Scottish Champion Hurdle, lowest-rated here to the tune of 12lb.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -27%) Sharjah		14 14/1(-27%)																															(3) Sharjah 14/1, Very smart hurdler. C&D winner. 20/1, creditable 3 lengths second of 6 to Constitution Hill in Aintree Hurdle at Aintree (20f, good) 15 days ago. Yard having good spell so he's firmly in the picture. Creditable Aintree second with Zanahiyr third, unlikely to beat State Man at this stage.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 +0%) Zanahiyr		22 22/1(+0%)																															(6) Zanahiyr 22/1, Very smart hurdler. 14/1, creditable 3½ lengths third of 6 to Constitution Hill in Aintree Hurdle at Aintree (20f, good) 15 days ago. Not discounted. Back near top form last two starts, no reason why he should turn the tables on State Man.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -83%) Pied Piper		22 22/1(-83%)																															(2) Pied Piper 22/1, Very smart hurdler. C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Good second of 24 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) 42 days ago. In the mix. A shade unlucky not to win the County Hurdle, well held by the Mullins-trained principals.

Based on the summary, it appears that 0.4/1 (4) STATE MAN is the favorite to do well, having won four Grade 1s in a row and being described as

STATE MAN is very hard to get away from in this field, but is priced accordingly. He couldn't land a blow on the imperious Constitution Hill in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, but did come home in a clear second. His record prior to that reverse was excellent as he accumulated four Grade 1 victories in a row. He is ground versatile. His stablemate, Sharjah, is still a very solid operator. He was placed at both the Cheltenham and Aintree festivals and is likely to give Patrick Mullins another good spin. Zanahiyr finished third in the Champion Hurdle and occupied the same berth in the Aintree Hurdle. He could land another good cheque. Vauban chased home State Man in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown in December and February. He weakened in fourth in the Champion Hurdle, but has plenty of ability.

STATE MAN has no Constitution Hill to contend with this time so is confidently expected to resume winning ways after his Champion Hurdle second and make it 5-6 for the season. Stablemates Sharjah and Vauban are fancied to chase home Willie Mullins' top-class hurdler in that order.

Everything points to STATE MAN resuming the sequence interrupted by Constitution Hill at Cheltenham. Vauban can take second

1	4 1st (4) (0.33/1 +0%) Impaire Et Passe		0.33 0.33/1(+0%)																															(4) Impaire Et Passe 0.33/1, Highly promising individual who made it 3-3 in this sphere in 10-runner Ballymore Novices' Hurdle (Baring Bingham) at Cheltenham (21f, soft, 5/2) 44 days ago by 6½ lengths from Gaelic Warrior, scoring impressively. Will take some stopping. Unbeaten in 4; won Moscow Flyer here before bolting up in the Ballymore; hard to beat.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 -20%) High Definition		12 12/1(-20%)																															(3) High Definition 12/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Smart winner at 8f on flat. 18/1, 10¼ lengths seventh of 14 to Marine Nationale in Supreme Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft) 45 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Won warm maiden hurdle on yard debut; things haven't gone to plan since though; tongue-tie.
3	2 3rd (2) (3.5/1 +30%) Champ Kiely		3.5 3.5/1(+30%)																															(2) Champ Kiely 3.5/1, Smart hurdler. 13/2, good 7½ lengths third of 10 to Impaire Et Passe in Ballymore Novices' Hurdle (Baring Bingham) at Cheltenham (21f, soft) 44 days ago. Stable in good form. Considered. Jumped right throughout when third in the Ballymore and hard to see him reversing the form.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 +39%) Inothewayurthinkin		20 20/1(+39%)																															(5) Inothewayurthinkin 20/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 7/2, 6¾ lengths third of 5 to Hunters Yarn in listed hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 75 days ago. Back up in trip. Should progress but he needs to here. 4th to Champ Kiely in Gr 1 earlier in season; plenty to find to get involved here.
5th	1 5th (1) (50/1 -52%) Amir Kabir		50 50/1(-52%)																															(1) Amir Kabir 50/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 25/1, good 5¼ lengths third of 6 to Hercule Du Seuil in Hardy Eustace Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Up in trip and no forlorn hope. Won Listowel novice hurdle before career best 3rd latest but much more required up in trip.

0.33/1 (4) IMPAIRE ET PASSE is likely to do well based on the summary. They have won multiple races, including the Moscow Flyer and the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle, and have remained unbeaten in their last four races. Additionally, they are described as a

IMPAIRE ET PASSE is a top-class novice and can follow up his Ballymore win. A debut bumper winner at Nancy in March 2022, he has done everything right in his three hurdle wins, scoring impressively at Cheltenham and should confirm placings with third-placed Champ Kiely. The selection's main rival could be one-time Derby favourite High Definition, who should be suited by stepping up in distance. He is quirky and keen but was only beaten seven lengths by top-class runner-up Facile Vega in the Supreme at Cheltenham, when he appeared caught for pace. Champ Kiely is a Grade 1 winner but was beaten seven lengths by the selection at Cheltenham and perhaps High Definition might beat him for second. Amir Kabir, Inothewayurthinkin and Thecompanysergeant are each capable but need to improve.

Impressive Ballymore Hurdle scorer IMPAIRE ET PASSE remains unbeaten over hurdles and looks the way to go here with Willie Mullins' most exciting prospect holding much the best form on show with the prospect of even better to come. Stablemate Champ Kiely came home third there at Cheltenham so could emerge as the chief threat ahead of improving duo Amir Kabir and Thecompanysergeant.

There doesn't seem to be much point in opposing IMPAIRE ET PASSE who arrives unbeaten and sets a clear standard after his Ballymore win

1	7 1st (7) (6/1 -33%) Its On The Line		6 6/1(-33%)																															(7) Its On The Line 6/1, Useful chaser. Fell in hunter chase (8/1) at Aintree (21.1f, good) 15 days ago. Ran with credit at the Cheltenham Festival on previous outing and shouldn't be ruled out. Won twice in points before excellent second at Aintree, fell at Becher's in the Foxhunter.
2	10 2nd (10) (2/1 +0%) Vaucelet		2 2/1(+0%)																															(10) Vaucelet 2/1, Useful chaser. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. Bit below form seventh of 23 in Festival Challenge Cup at Cheltenham (26.3f, good to soft, 9/4) 42 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly and should take the beating. Career had been on a steady upward curve before Cheltenham lapse, capable of making amends.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/1 -10%) Lough Derg Spirit		11 11/1(-10%)																															(8) Lough Derg Spirit 11/1, Useful hurdler. Creditable third of 27 in hunter chase (40/1) at Aintree (21.1f, good) 15 days ago. Should give another good account. Veteran comes into the reckoning on the strength of a fine run in the Foxhunter at Aintree.
4	5 4th (5) (150/1 -355%) Down The Highway		150 150/1(-355%)																															(5) Down The Highway 150/1, Fairly useful chaser. Good 9¾ lengths third of 8 to Dinny Lacey in hunter chase at Cork (20f, soft, 25/1) 18 days ago. Something to find. Cork winner last April, third to Dinny Lacey when bidding for a repeat early this month.
5th	11 5th (11) (125/1 -213%) Visioman		125 125/1(-213%)																															(11) Visioman 125/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 28/1, first run since leaving Henry De Bromhead when 10¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Dinny Lacey in hunter chase at Cork (20f, soft) 18 days ago. Uphill task. Would have finished closer but for interference when fourth to Dinny Lacey at Cork.
3	3 |F| (3) (4.5/1 +25%) Chris's Dream		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(3) Chris's Dream 4.5/1, Fairly useful chaser. Six wins from 22 NH runs. Creditable fifth of 23 in Festival Challenge Cup at Cheltenham (26.3f, good to soft, 7/1) 42 days ago, going with enthusiasm. One to consider. Fifth at Cheltenham, renews rivalry with runner-up Its On The Line and unplaced Vaucelet.
2	2 |U| (2) (3.5/1 +22%) Billaway		3.5 3.5/1(+22%)																															(2) Billaway 3.5/1, Useful chaser. Respectable 4½ lengths second of 5 to Annamix in hunter chase (3/1) at Fairyhouse (25.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Blinkers back on, tongue strap back on. Should be closer to his stablemate this time. Fell at Cheltenham when bidding for a repeat of last year's win, surprise defeat last time.
6	6 |U| (6) (25/1 +24%) Drumcliff		25 25/1(+24%)																															(6) Drumcliff 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Successful on sole start in points earlier this month and looks an interesting one back under Rules, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Three-time chase winner scored for this rider on his recent point-to-point debut.
1	1 |PU| (1) (9/1 -29%) Annamix		9 9/1(-29%)																															(1) Annamix 9/1, Useful chaser. 18/1, improved to win 5-runner hunter chase at Fairyhouse (25.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago by 4½ lengths from Billaway. Merits respect for stable in rude health. Had been struggling until a surprise return to form beating Billaway at Fairyhouse.
4	4 |PU| (4) (14/1 +0%) Dinny Lacey		14 14/1(+0%)																															(4) Dinny Lacey 14/1, Fairly useful chaser. 4/1, won 8-runner hunter chase at Cork (20f, soft) 18 days ago. Merits respect for all that he has some improvement to find. Fell two out in Naas event won by Billaway, ended long losing sequence with Cork success.
12	12 |PU| (12) (200/1 +0%) Dancing After Dark		200 200/1(+0%)																															(12) Dancing After Dark 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tenth of 14 in hunter chase at Cork (24f, soft, 7/2) on debut over fences 18 days ago. Out of her depth. Winner of two of her three starts in points, unplaced favourite in her first hunter chase.

Based on the summary, it is predicted that 2/1 (10) VAUCELET will do well as it is mentioned that it is capable of making amends, had been on a steady upward curve, and is expected to bounce back quickly. 4.5/1 (7) ITS ON THE LINE, 4.5/1 (2) BILLAWAY, and 6/1 (3) CHRIS'S DREAM are also mentioned as useful chasers and should be considered. 7/1 (1) ANNAMIX is mentioned as having a surprise return to form and merits respect for its stable in rude health. 10/1 (8) LOUGH DERG SPIRIT is also mentioned as having a fine run in the Foxhunter at Aintree and should give another good account. The rest of the horses are either fairly useful chasers or out of their depth.

ITS ON THE LINE might overcome an Aintree fall and win, with neither UK rivals Premier Magic nor Shantou Flyer running due to an administration mess. Returning from a fall isn't ideal but the selection had previously finished a staying second at Cheltenham, with a sounder surface being an advantage to the progressive six-year-old. Chris's Dream is 7lb better off, having finished fifth at Cheltenham, but is his rider's first chase ride and prefers soft ground. Billaway beat Vaucelet to win last year's renewal and while both are fine hunters, Billway is now a gear slower with Vaucelet disappointing at Cheltenham. Annamix showed no regard for the form book at Fairyhouse and while suited by good ground, faces a tougher task. Aintree-third Lough Derg Spirit is suited by a sound surface but has been beaten in Open points this season. Dinny Lacey steps up from his Cork win.

VAUCELET was slightly disappointing at Cheltenham but he's a reliable character who should bounce back quickly. Chris's Dream was ahead of the selection that day and deserves respect, while Billaway is a player if he has one of his better days in terms of jumping.

A little unlucky here last year, VAUCELET may make amends for that and for last month's Cheltenham disappointment

1	4 1st (4) (1.88/1 +25%) Monbeg Park		1.88 1.88/1(+25%)																															(4) Monbeg Park 1.88/1, Useful hurdler. Course winner. 8/1, second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.4f, soft) 20 days ago (first past the post but subsequently disqualified). Will take the beating back in grade. Demoted for interference latest but front 2 pulled clear; big player on these terms.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 -60%) Spillane's Tower		16 16/1(-60%)																															(6) Spillane's Tower 16/1, Winner in hurdle at Naas in February. 11/4, unseated rider very early in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Luckless there and remains with potential. Unseated early latest; winner on penultimate run; may not want drop in trip.
3	7 3rd (7) (14/1 +0%) Uncle Phil		14 14/1(+0%)																															(7) Uncle Phil 14/1, Fair hurdler. Hooded for 1st time, below form third of 6 in minor event hurdle at this course (16.1f, good to soft, 7/2) 160 days ago, finishing tired. Uphill task. Struggled in 2 novice hurdles and looks up against it here; off 160 days.
4	1 4th (1) (6.5/1 -8%) Arctic Bresil		6.5 6.5/1(-8%)																															(1) Arctic Bresil 6.5/1, Impressive when making winning hurdling debut at Cork in December. However, ran no sort of race when pulled up in Tolworth Novices' Hurdle at Sandown (2m, soft, 9/2) 111 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Plenty to like about Rules debut but beaten a long way out in Tolworth since.
5th	9 5th (9) (18/1 +10%) Night Sparkle		18 18/1(+10%)																															(9) Night Sparkle 18/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. 13/2, first run since leaving Simon & Ed Crisford when third of 23 in juvenile hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft) on NH debut 29 days ago. Can improve. Promising stayer on Flat and encouraging hurdle bow last month; much more needed though.
6th	5 6th (5) (1.62/1 +41%) Sa Majeste		1.62 1.62/1(+41%)																															(5) Sa Majeste 1.62/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles. 11/1, won 17-runner 4-y-o event at Auteuil last time by 1¼ lengths from Iceberg du Large. Should improve and obvious appeal starting out for new connections. Finished off race well when winning at Auteuil when last seen; may want a bit further.
7th	2 7th (2) (8.5/1 -70%) Firm Footings		8.5 8.5/1(-70%)																															(2) Firm Footings 8.5/1, Bumper winner at the second attempt who knuckled down well to break his duck over hurdles in 16-runner maiden at Navan (2m). Cracking effort in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Back down in trip. One to consider. Maiden hurdle winner; career best 6th in Martin Pipe latest but more needed back at 2m.
8th	8 8th (8) (66/1 -164%) Lahinch Three		66 66/1(-164%)																															(8) Lahinch Three 66/1, 9/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable second of 10 in bumper at Cork (19f, good) when last seen. Off 18 months. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. May well do better. Won bumper on debut; solid runs in defeat since; off 558 days and this is a tough comeback.
9th	3 9th (3) (66/1 -65%) Heliko Conti		66 66/1(-65%)																															(3) Heliko Conti 66/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Good seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, good to soft, 11/1) 19 days ago. This looks too tough. Winner on h'cap debut two starts ago and not a bad run since but much more on his plate.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary provided, 2.5/1 (4) MONBEG PARK seems to be the strongest contender with a recent second-place finish (although later disqualified) and a track record of being a course winner and useful hurdler. 2.75/1 (5) SA MAJESTE and 5/1 (2) FIRM FOOTINGS also have potential, but 2.5/1 (4) MONBEG PARK seems to have the best chance of doing well in this race.

SA MAJESTE is absent since winning 341 days ago and while he has probably had a setback, is suited by race conditions and could be smart. His two French runs were at Auteuil, beating blacktype-placed horses last-time and should be ok on drier ground. Monbeg Park has a big race-fitness edge having been disqualified, following interference, at Fairyhouse. It now seems he is ideally suited by this distance and while vulnerable to smart types, should get involved. Spillane's Tower could prove better than 126 but nonetheless steps up from his Naas win and drops in distance. Firm Footings ran well in the Coral Cup and has won at this distance but faces a tough task. Arctic Bresil is possibly best watched reappearing in a first-time tongue-tie having disappointed in a January Grade 1, with his Cork form being nothing outstanding. Uncle Phil looks Willie Mullins' second-string having had veterinary issues on recent runs.

MONBEG PARK was much improved at Fairyhouse 3 weeks ago only to lose the race in the stewards' room. He can gain compensation back at the scene of his November success. Sa Majeste starting out for Willie Mullins and Firm Footings, who ran a blinder in the Martin Pipe, are among the chief dangers.

This can go the way of MONBEG PARK who posted a career best when first past the post last time and he should have every chance

Very good 5½ lengths fourth of 21 to A Dream To Share in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (16.4f, soft, 80/1) 44 days ago. The one to beat.

8th	13 8th (13) (11/1 +8%) Littlefoot		11 11/1(+8%)																															(13) Littlefoot 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 8 in bumper (15/8) at Wexford (16f, good to soft) 54 days ago, clear of rest. Hit the crossbar in trio of bumpers; best run yet latest but much more on his plate here.
9th	4 9th (4) (100/1 -100%) Dorans Law		100 100/1(-100%)																															(4) Dorans Law 100/1, Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to dual bumper winner Dorans Weir and unreliable/useful hurdler Dorans River, stays 3¼m. Champs Elysees gelding; half-brother to 2 bumper winners; a tough debut but can't rule out.
10th	3 10th (3) (12/1 +33%) Did I Ask You That		12 12/1(+33%)																															(3) Did I Ask You That 12/1, Twice-raced maiden.

Dam, ran once over fences, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 2½m) I'll Call You Back. Doyen gelding; dam placed in points, half-sister to two winners; tough ask for newcomer.

Fifteenth of 24 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) on hurdles bow 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Promise in couple of her bumper runs so far but this is tough.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 1.75/1 (12) LECKY WATSON seems to be the strongest contender as they have taken their form to a new level with a very good fourth place in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. They are also described as

LECKY WATSON showed real promise in the Cheltenham Bumper and is now Patrick Mullins' pick. Disqualified here due to interference in November, his big size suggests today's slightly longer distance could suit and has form on a sound surface. Stablemate Dr Eggman finished a half-length behind Lecky Watson when last seen at Fairyhouse last April and while capable, the selection seemed a work-in-progress then and has improved since. Quantum Storm finished second to a capable type in a February course bumper, and holds Irish Panther (now 5lb worse off) on that form. Littlefoot also has good form but is vulnerable to smart types while Walk Away Harry showed potential when dead-heating for second on heavy ground at Clonmel. He's My Hero has useful points form and ran well in a tongue-tie on bumper debut while Talk In The Park has been well held by the winners of his two bumpers. Did I Ask You That has twice been a beaten even-money favourite and runs in a first-time tongue-tie.

Perhaps surprisingly Willie Mullins hasn't won this race since 2012 but he can put that right courtesy of LECKY WATSON who was an excellent fifth in last month's Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival. Gordon Elliott's Quantum Storm is feared most on the back of his promising second over 2m here in February. Clonmel runner-up Walk Away Harry is also on the shortlist for last year's winning yard.

LECKY WATSON sets the standard on his Champion Bumper fourth and he can give his trainer another winner this week

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.
