14:35 Punchestown Conditions Chase 25f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	18 1st (18) (33/1 +0%) Subset	33 33/1(+0%)	(18) Subset 33/1, Remains a maiden after 26 NH runs. 50/1, right back to his best when 17 lengths third of 12 to Three By Two in minor event chase at this C&D (good to soft) 4 days ago. Stepped up on previous form over this course when 50-1 third to Three By Two on Tuesday.
2	12 2nd (12) (14/1 +44%) Blast Of Koeman	14 14/1(+44%)	(12) Blast Of Koeman 14/1, Temperamental sort. Two wins from 51 NH runs. 16/1, 14¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Vital Island in minor event chase at this course (34f, good) 2 days ago, weakening from 2 out. Back down in trip. Third in last year's La Touche, and ran to a similar level when fourth on Thursday.
3	19 3rd (19) (2.5/1 +38%) Three By Two	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(19) Three By Two 2.5/1, First run since leaving A. McIntyre when 8/1, career best when winning 12-runner minor event chase at this C&D (good to soft) on debut over fences 4 days ago by 3 lengths from Vital Island, staying on to lead last. Major player if coping with the quick turnaround. Claimed a notable scalp when beating Vital Island here on Tuesday, this is more demanding.
4	3 4th (3) (4.5/1 +0%) Hurricane Darwin	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(3) Hurricane Darwin 4.5/1, C&D winner (including this corresponding event in 2022). 3 wins from 6 runs this season. Possibly flattered when 18 lengths third of 5 to Any Second Now in Webster Cup Chase (40/1) at Navan (20.4f, heavy) 40 days ago. Back up in trip. Beat Stealthy Tom here last year, continues to show good form in orthodox races, respected.
5th	6 5th (6) (3/1 +45%) Birchdale	3 3/1(+45%)	(6) Birchdale 3/1, Showed promise when fourth at Leopardstown in February but pulled up on both subsequent starts. Tough to know what to expect. Won a valuable 2m5f handicap chase at Leopardstown last season, this course may revive him.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 +13%) Midnight Maestro	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Midnight Maestro 14/1, C&D winner. 8/1, 23¾ lengths fifth of 12 to Vital Island in minor event chase at this course (34f, good) 2 days ago. Back down in trip. Won here last season, out of sorts this term, fifth in the La Touche here on Thursday.
7th	7 7th (7) (8/1 +0%) Go Another One	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) Go Another One 8/1, Useful hurdler. Thirteen wins from 38 NH runs. 7/2, below form fifth of 14 in minor event chase at this course (34f, good). Off 12 months. Down in trip. Winner of 13 races, jumping let him down before his saddle slipped in 2022 La Touche Cup.
8th	14 8th (14) (14/1 +0%) Hardline	14 14/1(+0%)	(14) Hardline 14/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2018. Seventeenth of 29 in handicap chase (150/1) at Aintree (21.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Big leap of faith required. Former Grade 1 winner, only fair form in points this season, sixth here in February.
9th	10 9th (10) (100/1 +0%) Western Sea	100 100/1(+0%)	(10) Western Sea 100/1, Modest hurdler. Never landed a blow when 35¼ lengths seventh of 12 to Vital Island in minor event chase (80/1) at this course (34f, good) 2 days ago. Back down in trip. Remote eighth to Stealthy Tom here in February, distant seventh in Thursday's La Touche.
11	11 \|F\| (11) (100/1 +33%) An Droichead Eile	100 100/1(+33%)	(11) An Droichead Eile 100/1, Modest chaser. 100/1, tailed-off tenth of 12 to Vital Island in minor event chase at this course (34f, good) 2 days ago. Back down in trip. Pulled-up in race won by Stealthy Tom in February, remote tenth in Thursday's La Touche.
10th	8 10th (8) (125/1 -25%) Three Loud Knocks	125 125/1(-25%)	(8) Three Loud Knocks 125/1, Unreliable type. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Again below form eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft, 22/1) 12 days ago. Useful point-to-pointer, low-rated handicap chaser with 1-28 chase record, up against it.
11th	13 11th (13) (33/1 +67%) Grangeclare Native	33 33/1(+67%)	(13) Grangeclare Native 33/1, Unreliable individual. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Again ran poorly when tailed-off twelfth of 20 to Stealthy Tom in minor event chase (40/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 69 days ago. Winning hurdler, 0-11 over fences, tailed off behind Stealthy Tom here in February..
17	17 \|PU\| (17) (7/1 +0%) Plan Of Attack	7 7/1(+0%)	(17) Plan Of Attack 7/1, Useful chaser. Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. Fell twenty-seventh in minor event chase at Cheltenham (30.2f, good to soft, 66/1) 45 days ago. Capable provided his jumping holds up. Good cross-country form at Cheltenham last season, not at the same level this term.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (80/1 +60%) Four Country Roads	80 80/1(+60%)	(2) Four Country Roads 80/1, Unreliable type. Latest win in chase at Navan in January. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Tipperary (23.6f, soft, 40/1) 11 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Low-rated handicapper has won twice this season, has lost form since Navan win in January.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, it seems that 4/1 (19) THREE BY TWO and 4.5/1 (3) HURRICANE DARWIN are the strongest contenders. 4/1 (19) THREE BY TWO has claimed a notable scalp and won a minor event chase at this course and distance, while 4.5/1 (3) HURRICANE DARWIN is a C&D winner and has shown good form in orthodox races. Both also have multiple wins this season. However, it's important to note that other horses may also surprise and perform well.

Last year's winner HURRICANE DARWIN comes here fresher than a few of his rivals and may be able to repeat the dose. The Westerner gelding has run well on a couple of occasions over fences this year and it's no surprise that he has been aimed at this race again. The mare Three By Two was a good winner here on Tuesday and commands plenty of respect turning out again. Midnight Maestro is another to consider.

Over half of these were involved earlier in the week so, with that in mind, PLAN OF ATTACK is taken to snap a lengthy losing run stretching back to 2019. Last year's winner Hurricane Darwin has presumably been saved for this contest so he may emerge as the main danger, while Three By Two took to the banks like a duck to water when winning over C&D on Tuesday and so she warrants plenty of respect if turned out again quickly.

Enda Bolger's BIRCHDALE will be hard to beat if adapting to this course in the manner usually associated with the stable.

15:10 Punchestown Handicap Chase 31f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (18/1 -80%) Enjoy D'allen	18 18/1(-80%)	(2) Enjoy D'allen 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form twelfth of 39 in handicap chase at Aintree (34.3f, good, 50/1) 14 days ago, never travelling well. Cheekpieces back on. Worth a market check. Has seldom shown any sign of his best form since third in the 2021 Irish Grand National.
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +17%) Aione	5 5/1(+17%)	(6) Aione 5/1, Career best when winning 8-runner novice chase at Cork (20f, good to soft, 4/1) 20 days ago, responding well. Significantly up in trip. Leading claims. Suffered reverses on his first three starts of the season, Cork win provides some hope.
2	15 2nd (15) (6.5/1 +28%) Sir Bob	6.5 6.5/1(+28%)	(15) Sir Bob 6.5/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 7/2, creditable second of 12 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Enters calculations. Veteran has been in terrific form and could continue in the same vein off a light weight.
3	13 3rd (13) (10/1 -82%) History Of Fashion	10 10/1(-82%)	(13) History Of Fashion 10/1, One win from 21 NH runs. 25/1, very good second of 13 in handicap chase at Naas (24.6f, soft) 48 days ago. Up in trip. One to consider. Long-priced second in the Leinster National at Naas provides reassurance after lean spell.
4	12 4th (12) (14/1 +30%) The Dabbler	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) The Dabbler 14/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft, 14/1) 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Tough to assess at present. Lost confidence with a bad mistake early in Fairyhouse race in which Sir Bob was second.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 +25%) Coeur Serein	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Coeur Serein 12/1, Latest win in chase at Newbury in February. Pulled up in handicap chase (50/1) at Cheltenham (26f, soft) 44 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. 50-1 when pulled-up in the Kim Muir, previously beat the only other finisher at Newbury.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 -60%) Velvet Elvis	16 16/1(-60%)	(1) Velvet Elvis 16/1, Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in February. Pulled up in handicap chase at Aintree (34.3f, good, 25/1) 14 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Good runs at Navan and Fairyhouse prior to failed Grand National bid, worth considering.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 -40%) Fairyhill Run	28 28/1(-40%)	(4) Fairyhill Run 28/1, 80/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (29f, soft) 19 days ago. Others make more appeal. Three failures to complete the course since fair fourth over 3m5f at Fairyhouse.
8th	14 8th (14) (7.5/1 -7%) Mercury Lane	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(14) Mercury Lane 7.5/1, Latest win in chase at Wexford in March. 11/4, good second of 7 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, heavy) 29 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Worth considering. Beaten only a neck over 2m4f at Wexford, not certain to cope with rise in class and trip.
9th	10 9th (10) (4.5/1 +25%) My Design	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(10) My Design 4.5/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in March. 5/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (28.6f, heavy) 27 days ago. Should remain competitive. In-form mare has take well to fences and should be competitive with a useful 7lb claimed.
16	16 \|F\| (16) (5/1 +64%) Emancipator	5 5/1(+64%)	(16) Emancipator 5/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Clonmel (22.8f, heavy, 3/1) 23 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Significantly up in trip. Has gone up 9lb for an emphatic Clonmel win but still 6lb out of the handicap for this.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (16/1 -60%) Everglow	16 16/1(-60%)	(9) Everglow 16/1, 12/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft) 19 days ago. Up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Should be on the premises. Signs of revival in form when fourth at Fairyhouse, has a bit to find with Sir Bob.
10th	8 10th (8) (50/1 +24%) Milan Native	50 50/1(+24%)	(8) Milan Native 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 80/1 and blinkered for 1st time, pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (29f, soft) 19 days ago. Hard to fancy. Former winner of the Kim Muir at Cheltenham, has been out of sorts and makes no appeal.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (18/1 +45%) Darrens Hope	18 18/1(+45%)	(7) Darrens Hope 18/1, Course winner. Latest win in chase here in November. 25/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Aintree (25f, good) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Looked set for a fine season when a Grade 2 winner last November, has lost form alarmingly.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (25/1 +24%) Regina Dracones	25 25/1(+24%)	(11) Regina Dracones 25/1, 14/1, fell in handicap chase at Naas (24.6f, soft) 48 days ago. Back up in trip. Must improve. Has failed to complete five of her last six races and is clearly a very risky proposition.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 6/1 (6) AIONE and 9/1 (15) SIR BOB seem to have the best chance of performing well, with 6/1 (6) AIONE having

MY DESIGN has already run well over a marathon trip this season and looks capable of winning a nice prize. The Scorpion mare chased home Malina Girl in the Ulster National at Downpatrick early in the month and is only a couple of pounds higher now. Shane O'Callaghan landed a big pot here on Hereditary Rule here on Wednesday and his 7lb claim leaves My Design on a nice low weight. Willie Mullins is represented by Aione and he commands plenty of respect. The Coastal Path gelding bounced back to form when taking a beginners chase at Cork 20 days ago and better ground may have helped him then. The trip was perhaps on the short side for Mercury Lane when he was a close second at Wexford last time and he is another for the shortlist taking a big jump up in distance.

AIONE is very lightly raced for his age and impressed with his jumping when landing a novice at Cork recently, so he's worth chancing back in a handicap. History of Fashion and My Design both arrive in good order also and rank as the chief dangers in a competitive affair.

Runner-up in this race last season, THE DABBLER may go one better. An early mistake harmed his chance at Fairyhouse

15:10 Punchestown Handicap Chase 31f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:50 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 19f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (1.62/1 +51%) Echoes In Rain	1.62 1.62/1(+51%)	(3) Echoes In Rain 1.62/1, Smart hurdler. Course winner. Good 9¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Honeysuckle in David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle (9/1) at Cheltenham (19.9f, soft) 46 days ago, not ideally placed. Hood back on. Considered. Smart dual-purpose mare, needs to reverse Cheltenham form with Love Envoi and Queens Brook.
2	1 2nd (1) (28/1 +15%) Anna Bunina	28 28/1(+15%)	(1) Anna Bunina 28/1, Useful hurdler. 13/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (16f, good) 7 days ago. Difficult ask here though. Last year's Scottish Champion Hurdle winner, third in same race last Saturday, tough task.
3	7 3rd (7) (18/1 +36%) Shewearsitwell	18 18/1(+36%)	(7) Shewearsitwell 18/1, Useful hurdler. Course winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this season. 24¼ lengths last of 9 to Honeysuckle in David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham (19.9f, soft, 28/1) 46 days ago. Trainer going well but more is required here. Beat Queens Brook at Leopardstown at Christmas, faded to finish in rear at Cheltenham.
4	4 4th (4) (8.5/1 -21%) Epatante	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(4) Epatante 8.5/1, Smart hurdler. 14/1, fair 12½ lengths fourth of 6 to Constitution Hill in Aintree Hurdle at Aintree (20f, good) 16 days ago. Yard in good form and can't be ruled out. Former Champion Hurdle winner, beaten odds-on favourite for this last year, up against it.
5th	2 5th (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Brandy Love	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(2) Brandy Love 5.5/1, Smart hurdler. 9/1, creditable 11 lengths fifth of 9 to Honeysuckle in David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham (19.9f, soft) 46 days ago, not ideally placed. Trainer going well. In the mix. Trounced Love Envoi at Fairyhouse last season, tables were turned at Cheltenham this year.
6th	5 6th (5) (1.62/1 +7%) Love Envoi	1.62 1.62/1(+7%)	(5) Love Envoi 1.62/1, Very smart hurdler. 2 wins from 3 runs this season. Good 1½ lengths second of 9 to Honeysuckle in David Nicholson Mares' Hurdle (11/1) at Cheltenham (19.9f, soft) 46 days ago. The one to beat. 7-9 over hurdles, beaten only by Brandy Love and Honyesuckle, fine Cheltenham effort.

LTO Selection:

1.75/1 (5) LOVE ENVOI is predicted to do well based on the summary.

LOVE ENVOI is the form choice here and can confirm placings with those that finished in behind at Cheltenham. The Westerner mare ran a cracker in the Mares Hurdle when making Honeysuckle work for her fairytale ending and was nicely clear of the pack at the line. She likes to get on with things and the booking of Danny Mullins looks a perfect match. Queens Brook stayed on in third in the Mares Hurdle and has a few lengths to find, along with the fourth, Echoes In Rain, and the fifth, Brandy Love. Echoes In Rain would appear to be the main hope of Willie Mullins' trio so commands utmost respect. She failed to quicken after making up ground from the rear at Cheltenham and a stronger pace may suit better now. She also runs well around here.

LOVE ENVOI found only the remarkable Honeysuckle too strong in the Mares' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and can go one better here. Queens Brook and Echoes In Rain came in a good third and fourth that day and can again chase home Harry Fry's very smart mare in that order.

This is a rematch of the Grade 1 mares' hurdle at Cheltenham, and LOVE ENVOI can uphold form with the five who were behind her then.

16:25 Punchestown Handicap Chase 24f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (12/1 +33%) Brideswell Lad	12 12/1(+33%)	(12) Brideswell Lad 12/1, 3 wins from 10 runs this season. 8/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Tramore (21.6f, soft) 13 days ago, driven out. Needs considering.
2	13 2nd (13) (8/1 +43%) Ballykeel	8 8/1(+43%)	(13) Ballykeel 8/1, Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in February. Below form tenth of 23 in handicap chase (28/1) at Cheltenham (26f, soft) 44 days ago. Sort to bounce back.
3	14 3rd (14) (50/1 +0%) Snugsborough Benny	50 50/1(+0%)	(14) Snugsborough Benny 50/1, 28/1, brought down 3 out in handicap chase at this course (22.6f, good to soft) 160 days ago, making headway at the time. More is needed.
4	9 4th (9) (8/1 +27%) Must Be Obeyed	8 8/1(+27%)	(9) Must Be Obeyed 8/1, Course winner. Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in January. Pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (29f, soft, 16/1) 19 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +11%) Champagne Gold	16 16/1(+11%)	(8) Champagne Gold 16/1, 33/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.6f, soft) 44 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
6th	7 6th (7) (5.5/1 +15%) Flegmatik	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(7) Flegmatik 5.5/1, Good second of 13 in handicap chase (10/1) at Kempton (24f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Can give another good account.
7th	2 7th (2) (28/1 +0%) Diol Ker	28 28/1(+0%)	(2) Diol Ker 28/1, Unseated rider 1st in National (100/1) at Aintree (34.3f, good) 14 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Work to do.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 -29%) Fire Attack	18 18/1(-29%)	(6) Fire Attack 18/1, Course winner. 50/1, unseated rider 20th (in second) in Irish National at Fairyhouse (29f, soft) 19 days ago. Considered.
9th	4 9th (4) (2.5/1 +17%) Ramillies	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(4) Ramillies 2.5/1, Would have bagged a second chasing win in 3m Grade 3 at Naas but demoted for causing interference. Pulled up in Brown Advisory at Cheltenham (24.4f, good to soft) 45 days ago but sort to bounce back now he makes handicap chase debut. Interesting.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (9/1 -13%) Sam Brown	9 9/1(-13%)	(1) Sam Brown 9/1, Fell heavily at the Chair in National at Aintree (34.3f, good) 14 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Yard in good form. Blinkers on 1st time. Has good chance on pick of form.
10	10 \|F\| (10) (10/1 +29%) Jerandme	10 10/1(+29%)	(10) Jerandme 10/1, 6/1, running well (still every chance) when fell 2 out in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.4f, good) 55 days ago. In the mix.
10th	5 10th (5) (8.5/1 -21%) Darver Star	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(5) Darver Star 8.5/1, 3 wins from 6 runs this season. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 7 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, heavy, 11/4) 29 days ago. Back up in trip. Ought to be in the shake-up.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 7/1 (5) DARVER STAR seems like a strong contender with three wins this season and a good second in a recent handicap chase. The addition of cheekpieces may also give him an extra edge. 8/1 (1) SAM BROWN is also worth considering with a yard in good form and the addition of blinkers. 3/1 (4) RAMILLIES has potential but has been demoted for causing interference and pulled up in his last race. 6.5/1 (7) FLEGMATIK, 14/1 (13) BALLYKEEL, and 18/1 (12) BRIDESWELL LAD could also give good accounts.

Leinster National winner DIOL KER was a first fence casualty in the Grand National but had previously finished a good second in the Paddy Power last Christmas. He is ground-versatile and stays this distance. Ramillies was pulled up in a Cheltenham Grade 1 but now drops in grade and contests his first handicap while Escaria Ten stays well but was pulled up in at Cheltenham handicap. Champagne Gold was hampered early-on when eventually pulling up at Cheltenham. Darver Star ran well in a lesser race at Wexford while Flegmatik has been running well in similar UK handicaps. Most of Brideswell Lad's form is over middle-distances and while progressive, competes from a career high mark stepping up in grade. Fire Attack jumps left but was a course chase winner last May while Must Be Obeyed pulled up in the Irish National but had previously run well at Navan (beating Percy Warner). Jerandme fell, when disputing the lead, last time and has handicap chase form.

Lots with chances but RAMILLIES is taken to bounce back from a poor showing in the Broadway at Cheltenham and resume winning ways on his first venture into handicap company for Willie Mullins. Darver Star is a consistent sort and feared most on the back of his good Wexford second, with Flegmatik and Must Be Obeyed completing the shortlist.

Though DARVER STAR did not cover himself with glory in his first spell over fences he may have the ability to win a race like this

17:00 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 16f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (0.5/1 +19%) Lossiemouth	0.5 0.5/1(+19%)	(8) Lossiemouth 0.5/1, Met trouble when second to Gala Marceau at the Dublin Racing Festival and turned the tables on her stablemate with an impressive performance in the Triumph at Cheltenham last month. It's hard to see past her. Unlucky to lose unbeaten record at DRF; career best Triumph success latest; hard to beat.
2	4 2nd (4) (8.5/1 -89%) Zarak The Brave	8.5 8.5/1(-89%)	(4) Zarak The Brave 8.5/1, French Flat recruit who made an encouraging start to his hurdle career at Fairyhouse in November and stepped up on that form when 4 lengths second of 10 to stablemate Lossiemouth in Grade 3 there in December. Given a break since. Definitely more to come. Winning start for this yard; 4l behind Lossiemouth latest; that rival has improved since.
3	7 3rd (7) (2.75/1 +27%) Gala Marceau	2.75 2.75/1(+27%)	(7) Gala Marceau 2.75/1, Edged out Lossiemouth in Grade 1 company at the Dublin Racing Festival but found her stablemate too strong for a second time when runner-up in the Triumph at Cheltenham. Looks sure to go well but might be the bridesmaid again. 2l behind Lossiemouth in the Triumph last time; needs to find improvement to reverse form.
4	2 4th (2) (18/1 +10%) Nusret	18 18/1(+10%)	(2) Nusret 18/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who bagged the Grade 2 Adonis Hurdle at Kempton in February but seemed to have his limitations at the highest level exposed when 5 lengths third to Zenta (who was behind Lossiemouth and Gala Marceau at Cheltenham) in the Anniversary at Aintree 16 days ago. Gr 2 winner in Britain; creditable 3rd at Aintree latest; work cut out here though.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 +0%) Enjoy The Dream	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Enjoy The Dream 14/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Left hurdle debut well behind when winning Grade 2 juvenile at Fairyhouse (2m, soft) over Easter. Potential for better again but it will be required. Caused 33-1 upset in Gr 2 at Fairyhouse this month; could be more to come.
6th	1 6th (1) (200/1 +20%) Jacovec Cavern	200 200/1(+20%)	(1) Jacovec Cavern 200/1, Fairly useful Flat winner but still a maiden over hurdles and well behind Lossiemouth and Gala Marceau in the Triumph at Cheltenham. Out of his depth when finishing 24l behind Lossiemouth in the Triumph; similar story here.
7th	3 7th (3) (125/1 -25%) Your Honor	125 125/1(-25%)	(3) Your Honor 125/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Ballinrobe (17.4f, soft) 15 days ago, doing too much too soon. Very stiff task. Won on penultimate start; failed to back it up latest and now has huge step up in class.
8th	5 8th (5) (100/1 +33%) Cinsa	100 100/1(+33%)	(5) Cinsa 100/1, Fair hurdler. 20¾ lengths seventh of 15 to Lossiemouth in Triumph Hurdle (200/1) at Cheltenham (17f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Surely vulnerable again. In at the deep end in 2 runs for this yard; 21l behind Lossiemouth in Triumph when 200s.

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary, 0.62/1 (8) LOSSIEMOUTH seems to be the most likely to do well as she has an unbeaten record, a career-best Triumph success, and has turned the tables on her stablemate. 3.75/1 (7) GALA MARCEAU, while a strong contender, may struggle to reverse form with 0.62/1 (8) LOSSIEMOUTH. 4.5/1 (4) ZARAK THE BRAVE also has the potential for more improvement, but it remains to be seen how he will perform against these competitors. The other horses, 14/1 (6) ENJOY THE DREAM, 20/1 (2) NUSRET, 100/1 (3) YOUR HONOR, 150/1 (5) CINSA, and 250/1 (1) JACOVEC CAVERN, seem to have less of a chance of doing well in this particular race.

LOSSIEMOUTH has done little wrong in five hurdle runs and can confirm Triumph Hurdle placings with runner-up Gala Marceau. A debut Auteuil hurdle winner last April, her only defeat came against Gala Marceau at the Dublin Racing Festival when meeting significant trouble in-running but holds an edge having beaten Gala Marceau for a second time, at Cheltenham. Gala Marceau is high-class but needs to improve slightly to win. Enjoy The Dream is improving and won a recent Grade 2. She seems suited by soft ground but has French flat form on good and while the Fairyhouse runner-up was previously well held in the Triumph, Enjoy The Dream is open to further progression. Zarak The Brave is held by the selection on December form and met with a training setback subsequently while Nusret was third in an Aintree Grade 1, finishing behind the Triumph Hurdle third.

This is likely to be another Willie Mullins domination, with LOSSIEMOUTH taken to confirm last month's Cheltenham superiority over Gala Marceau. The returning Zarak The Brave likely has more to offer and can make it another 1-2-3 in a Grade 1 juvenile this season for his all-conquering stable.

LOSSIEMOUTH (nap) justified favouritism in the Triumph last time and on the back of that career best performance, she's hard to oppose

LTO Selection:

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary, as there are several horses with recent good form and lower marks, as well as some with inconsistent or unreliable past performances. However, some horses to consider include 4/1 (12) SEDDON, 7/1 (21) GREEN GLORY, 7.5/1 (8) AN EPIC SONG, 11/1 (14) TAX FOR MAX, 12/1 (17) HORANTZAU D'AIRY, and 25/1 (6) GALORE DESASSENCES, who have all shown good recent form and have respectable marks. 8.5/1 (18) RISK BELLE, who won at Fairyhouse this month and has been promoted, is also worth bearing in mind. Other horses may need to improve or have tough marks to overcome.

RISK BELLE has smart form in completed handicap and won a similar event recently. Unbeaten in two initial French hurdles, she is 7lb higher than when winning at Fairyhouse (Horantzau D'airy finished third) but might progress further stepping up in trip and remains a fraction unexposed. An Epic Song bumped into a well handicapped winner of the Coral Cup last month but would prefer soft ground. Galore Desassences ran well on his debut for Gavin Cromwell at Fairyhouse (Heia finished seventh) and has winning form on good ground while Green Glory has useful handicap form and should run well from 1lb out of the handicap. Tax For Max finished fifth to the selection at Fairyhouse and finished third here on Tuesday but is better at two miles. Ballyadam ran well in last month's County Hurdle but also steps up in trip while Cheltenham winner Seddon reverts to hurdles, having won in this sphere at Cheltenham in October but is probably a better chaser.

Willie Mullins has a tremendous record in this race and fields half-a-dozen candidates. HEIA, who is Paul Townend's pick, arrives here fresh on the back of an encouraging spin at Fairyhouse where she was returning from 9 months off, and the 6-y-o may well be the answer. Tax For Max, another member of the Mullins battalion, put in a good shift here on Tuesday and is feared most with this step back up in trip a good move. The in-form Seddon, An Epic Song and Green Glory are others to consider.

SEDDON took out a competitive renewal of the Plate at Cheltenham last month and he's rated 9lb lower for his return to hurdles

LTO Selection:

Based on the summary provided, some of the horses that seem to have a good chance are: 1. 4/1 (12) RAINBOW TRAIL: Although he narrowly missed out in a point before, he has been sold for a considerable amount, and the winner of that point has run well in defeat since. The horse also has a good pedigree, and the trainer has a clear appeal. 2. 8/1 (2) BARONS REVENGE: The horse has a decent pedigree, and his dam is a bumper winner. He is also one of two horses for the top yard with clear appeal, and they are currently having a good spell. 3. 22/1 (13) REDSTONE: The horse was in the process of running a big race in his only point start, and he comes from a family of successful horses. He seems to have every chance on his Rules debut, but the market should be checked. 4. 22/1 (14) SOLO FLIGHT: The horse has gone close in both point starts, and he was bought for a considerable amount since his last race. He also has a good

WALK THE WARRIOR's yard does well in bumpers. By Walk In The Park and out of a bumper winner, he is brother to a dual hurdle winner and a half-brother to Grade 2 chase winner Churchstonewarrior and makes an early debut aged four, which is encouraging. Sorrentino has a good, mostly flat, pedigree. A half-brother to four flat winners, his dam is a half-sister to a Group 1 winner but also to smart jumper Mengli Khan and is Patrick Mullins' pick over Barons Revenge. He is out of a bumper winning half-sister to his trainer's Kempes, but debuts in a tongue-tie. Emmet Mullins won the 2021 renewal and runs Full Metal Jacket, which showed ability in a point-to-point and runs in a hood while last year's winner Gavin Cromwell runs Redstone, which held a winning chance when falling at Oldstown and looks capable. Quarry Rocco has changed hands following a Liscarroll point win while Rainbow Trail has been bought by Gigginstown, having been beaten by a subsequent dual bumper-placed winner at Corbeagh House. Solo Flight has points form while Chasing Unicorn's unraced dam is a half-sister to Next Destination. Goldinthemoutains is out of a Listed flat winner and makes a somewhat belated debut but represents leading connections.

The betting will help sort these out, with expensive recruit RAINBOW TRAIL and the Willie Mullins' pair Barons Revenge and Sorrentino the three against the field as things stand.

With no Rules form to go on, it's worth taking a chance on SORRENTINO for a yard enjoying a fine season with their bumper horses
