17th (12) Cillians Charm (25/1 -108%)
Cillians Charm

25/1(-108%)
(12) Cillians Charm 25/1, Winner in hurdle at Clonmel (16.7f) in January. Third of 5 in minor event hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft, 15/8) 77 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and this longer trip promises to unlock further improvement.
Upped in trip here for handicap debut and doesn't appear an obvious one.

Bold Approach

80/1(-21%)
(18) Bold Approach 80/1, 50/1, last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f). Switches from Flat to hurdles. Back up in trip. Fairly useful hurdler, below form on last hurdle outing. Others have achieved more.

50/1(+0%)
(14) Teescomponentsyess 50/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Tramore (20.6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
Best form at Limerick, recent Tramore effort was tame so questions to answer.
21st
21st (10) Sam Magee (40/1 -300%)
Sam Magee

40/1(-300%)
(10) Sam Magee 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 8/1, sixteenth of 21 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Feasible to think he can get back on track switched to handicaps/returned to further.
Not progressed as hoped in maidens but can't be ruled out on handicap debut.
22nd
22nd (25) Mighty Mo Missouri (11/1 -47%)
Mighty Mo Missouri

11/1(-47%)

(8) Ideal Pal 40/1, 9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, second of 4 in handicap hurdle at Warwick (16f, heavy) 27 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Kingston Retreat

40/1(+39%)
(22) Kingston Retreat 40/1, Doubled hurdles tally from 6 lb lower mark at Tramore (21.5f) last June. Fell returning from 10 months off back at that venue 9 days ago and this looks a tough enough ask turned out quickly.
On a fair mark and worth considering if none the worse for recent fall.
|PU|
|PU| (9) Privilege (50/1 -100%)
Privilege

50/1(-100%)
(9) Privilege 50/1, Fairly useful winner at 1m over hurdles. Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Below form ninth of 22 in novice hurdle at this course (2m, heavy, 22/1) 86 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and betting should guide.
Better ground could suit here but high enough opening mark on what he's achieved.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

5/1 (11) UNANSWERED, Mighty Mo, 12/1 (12) CILLIANS CHARM, and 9/1 (5) BREAD AND BUTTER are the most promising horses based on the summary provided.

LA MALMASON looks to have plenty of scope. This mare has only had three outings and got off the mark on debut at Cork. She was beaten half a length into second when last seen in a rated novice hurdle over a similar trip at this track in January, and that form got a tremendous boost when the winner took a Grade 3 novice hurdle in Thurles on his next start. Unanswered has experience of big fields and is a major contender. He has been placed on his last two starts and was a notable six-length winner of a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in November. He has won at this track before and drying ground will be to his advantage. Liam McKenna's 2lb claim is a bonus. Jessica Harrington's Mighty Mo Missouri could go well off bottom-weight. He is up in trip, but has some decent placed form at Cork, Gowran Park and Naas. Harrington has won two of the last five renewals of this race.

Plenty in with a shout in an ultra-competitive opener, including UNANSWERED. Tony Martin's 6-y-o arrives on the back of solid placed efforts in similar big-field events in recent months and, clearly still on a workable mark, he could well be the way to go. Bread And Butter, starting out for Olly Murphy, La Malmason and Butterflyvespiere are a trio of others to consider, with Cillians Charm another likely capable of better now stepping up in trip.

Very hard to fathom but there could be a bit of value to be had in GOLD SPEED, a previous C&D winner and down to a nice mark

LTO Selection:

16:15 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

2.75/1 (5) SENIOR CHIEF is predicted to do well in this race, as they have won two out of three runs this season and had a career best win at Navan. They are also described as a promising individual and capable of better, making them a strong contender.

SANDOR CLEGANE brings strong Grade 1 form to this contest. Paul Nolan's Fame And Glory gelding ran third in both a novice hurdle at Leopardstown and the Albert Bartlett at the Cheltenham Festival. Those races were over further, however, this intermediate trip shouldn't be an issue as he has plenty of form over the minimum trip. Three Card Brag finished over four lengths behind Sandor Clegane in fifth at Cheltenham. He has been particularly effective at this sort of trip, though. A neck second to a subsequent Grade 1 winner at Naas before Christmas stands out. Three Card Brag then went on to win a novice hurdle in Fairyhouse by 12 lengths. He comprehensively defeated Sandor Clegane over an extended 2m at Galway in October. That was on deep ground, though, and drying ground wouldn't be ideal for him. Senior Chief is up in class, but has won his last two races. He's in good hands and can get involved.

SENIOR CHIEF is selected to continue his trend of run-by-run improvement and complete a hat-trick for the Henry de Bromhead/Rachael Blackmore partnership. The drop back in trip is a slight concern for Albert Bartlett third and fifth Sandor Clegane and Three Card Brag but they should still have the class to figure. Noel Meade's Nucky Johnson is another unlikely to be too far away.

THREE CARD BRAG was behind Sandor Clegane in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham but can gain his revenge over this trip.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict which horse will do well as most of them have had mixed performances in their recent races. However, '2.25/1 (4) IMAGINE Course' and '14/1 (5) PERFECT ATTITUDE' have shown consistent form in their recent races and could be considered as major players. Additionally, '10/1 (6) PORT STANLEY' has been a useful chaser and is switching from chase to hurdles, which could work in their favor.

GRANGECLARE WEST can take advantage of a drop in class. He has questions to answer after unplaced efforts at Naas and Leopardstown, however, they were in Grade 1 races. He looked a horse of considerable promise in winning his bumper by a wide margin at this track and then sauntering home in a maiden hurdle at Navan. Imagine wasn't beaten far into fifth in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival. Prior to that, he had three runner-up finishes in-a-row including in a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Navan. He is another horse with a bumper and maiden hurdle in his locker. He is a big player with Danny Gilligan taking 7lb off his back. Tag Man has a chance in receipt of weight from his rivals. The seven-year-old gelding has had the misfortune to run in maiden hurdles won by some very smart sorts. He was placed in two of them and came in fourth in another, and the form is strong. He won a bumper at the Punchestown Festival last year on decent ground.

IMAGINE fared best of the handicap debutants when a very good fifth of 21 in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival 6 weeks ago and that form is arguably the best on offer. Grangeclare West wasn't up to Grade 1 level the last twice but should make much more of an impact here, while Da Capo Glory could figure if his latest run is forgiven.

If GRANGECLARE WEST returns to his best form he will win this but there is a doubt about him after two lesser runs.

Second in the Pertemps Handicap at Cheltenham and isn't out of place in this company.
LTO Selection:

17:20 Punchestown Novices Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Based on the summary, 5.5/1 (8) SALVADOR ZIGGY seems to have the strongest chance of doing well as they have a successful track record this season, including a very good second place in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham. Additionally, they have won at the course before and are coming off a very smart effort, which suggests they can make their presence felt in a Grade 1 novice.

GAELIC WARRIOR has obvious claims for Willie Mullins. The five-year-old gelding is comfortably highest-rated in this field on a mark of 152. He won three consecutive hurdle races culminating in a Grade B handicap hurdle at Leopardstown in February. He then contested the Grade 1 Ballymore at last month's Cheltenham Festival, and did as well as he could in second behind a stablemate who is out of the top drawer. He had several previous Grade 1 winners in behind him. This step up in trip shouldn't pose an issue. Favori De Champdou disappointed in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham when racing keenly. He had landed three staying races before that, including a Grade 2, and could bounce back. Embassy Gardens was pulled up at Cheltenham, but has plenty of ability and shouldn't be disregarded. Affordale Fury ran some race for a 150/1 outsider when runner-up in the Albert Bartlett. He's certainly a factor on that run, but would prefer slower ground.

GAELIC WARRIOR ran a cracker when second in the Ballymore at Cheltenham and will be a tough nut to crack if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip again. Salvador Ziggy produced an excellent performance under a big weight in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham and can give the selection most to do ahead of Albert Bartlett runner-up Affordale Fury.

FAVORI DE CHAMPDOU failed to show his best in the Albert Bartlett but can bounce back today.

17:55 Punchestown Conditions Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

It is likely that 0.4/1 (5) GALOPIN DES CHAMPS will do well, considering his impressive Cheltenham defeat of 4/1 (1) BRAVEMANSGAME and his status as a top-class chaser and course winner. He is also described as

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS is hard to oppose and should end his season on a high. The Timos gelding was a brilliant winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month, powering clear after the last to beat Bravemansgame by seven lengths. The English raider got the go ahead the other day to take his place here, but it's hard to see him turning the tables. Aside from his mishap at Cheltenham last year, Galopin Des Champs hasn't really been seriously challenged since going over fences and looks a class apart. Envoi Allen bounced back to form when landing the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham and stays this trip, having won at Down Royal earlier in the campaign. He's very talented on his day but it would be a bit of a shock if he was able to lower the colours of Galopin Des Champs.

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS confirmed himself at the top of the chasing tree when putting up one of the best performances in the Gold Cup in recent years when beating Bravemansgame by 7 lengths and he can end the season with another Grade 1 success. Bravemansgame can follow him home again, with Ryanair winner Envoi Allen best of the others.

A rematch between the Cheltenham Gold Cup principals. GALOPIN DES CHAMPS is expected to confirm form with Bravemansgame

Based on the summary, the horse that is most likely to do well is 1.25/1 (1) A DREAM TO SHARE. The summary states that the horse is unbeaten in four outings and has recently won the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham by 1 ¼ lengths from Fact To File. The summary also suggests that 1.25/1 (1) A DREAM TO SHARE is

Willie Mullins has dominated this race in recent years and it's interesting that Patrick Mullins sides with the Gowran winner TULLYHILL. There was plenty of buzz about the Martaline gelding before his racecourse debut last month and he looked very smart when winning without coming off the bridle. The runner-up went on to frank that form and Mullins spoke very highly of the grey afterwards. Obviously on the book A Dream To Share is the one to beat after his Cheltenham success. He was a good winner of the Champion Bumper and had a few of these in behind that day. It wouldn't be a surprise if It's For Me got a bit more involved now. He was held up well off the pace last month before staying on to finish fifth and was reported to have run too freely.

A DREAM TO SHARE had something to spare when landing the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and he's a fairly straightforward selection as he bids to take another Grade 1 event. Tullyhill was hugely impressive when making a successful Rules debut at Gowran, so he looks the main threat ahead of his stablemate Rath Gaul Boy, who was second the selection when last seen at Tipperary 11 months ago.

Unbeaten in four, A DREAM TO SHARE can make it five here, with Tullyhill selected to chase him home

Based on the summary, 6/1 (3) LIEUTENANT COMMAND seems to have a good chance, having won a handicap chase recently, while 6/1 (6) ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN also enters calculations after a creditable third place finish in a handicap chase at Leopardstown. 5.5/1 (1) ROYAL RENDEZVOUS won this race last year, but comes into the race out of form as a tailed-off second in a recent chase. 2.25/1 (4) HA D'OR has a good chance on pick of form, but is making a handicap chase debut. 7.5/1 (5) GALLANT JOHN JOE has not won in his last fourteen runs and is opposable. 10/1 (2) ANDY DUFRESNE and 14/1 (7) EGALITY MANS are also opposable, while 20/1 (9) THE LITTLE YANK is high in the handicap and has something to find on form. 22/1 (8) HEREDITARY RULE has had stiff tasks of late and wants better ground.

Stepping up in trip again should suit HA D'OR and he can make a winning start in handicaps. The French-bred gelding has been keeping good company in novices and wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Arkle at Cheltenham last month. He had been a good winner over this trip on his chase debut at Fairyhouse back in December, beating a decent sort in The Goffer. Lieutenant Command was a good winner of a competitive event at Leopardstown early last month and could be a big player here despite a 6lb rise for that victory. Ilikedwayurthinkin was third in that Leopardstown contest and on revised terms he looks another for the shortlist.

HA D'OR was out of his depth in the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival but his opening mark is a fair one on the pick of his form so he could be the answer. Ilikedwayurthinkin took a step back in the right direction in this headgear when third at Leopardstown and rates the main threat ahead of Andy Dufresne, who failed to meet expections in the Grand Annual.

Out of depth in the Arkle, HA D'OR (nap makes plenty of appeal here on his handicap debut based on his Fairyhouse novice win

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Based on the summary given, Ready seems to be the favorite to do well as it has won the first two starts in bumpers and had a solid performance at Cheltenham despite finishing fifteenth. 3.5/1 (8) JUNTA MARVEL and 6.5/1 (4) CUTA DES AS also seem to be good contenders with recent wins and potential for improvement. 6.5/1 (10) MISS AGUSTA and 9/1 (2) BOLD REFLECTION are also worth considering based on their solid performances in listed bumpers. The rest of the horses either have to find significant improvement or have too many question marks for a strong prediction.

FUN FUN FUN never got involved in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham last month but gets the vote back against her own sex here. The Martaline mare had been a very impressive winner of a Grade 2 bumper at the Dublin Racing Festival previously and would be hard to beat on that form. Slightly better going now should help. Willie Mullins saddles five in the race and the selection's stablemate Junta Marvel could be a danger. She made a good impression when scoring on her debut at Limerick last month when the front pair pulled nicely clear. Miss Agusta was no match for the impressive Tiger Bay Queen in a listed contest at Fairyhouse but it was still a solid run and she is entitled to be thereabouts again.

FUN FUN FUN looked highly promising when winning her first two starts and she can be forgiven her run at the Cheltenham Festival, so she's fancied to resume winning ways at the likely expense of stablemate Junta Marvel. who is open to improvement. Cuta Des As, another Willie Mullins-trained entry, is another one to consider.

Fun Fun Fun sets the standard but is opposed with stablemate JUNTA MARVEL who impressed in a Limerick bumper on debut.

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.
