1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +7%) The Greek		7 7/1(+7%)																															(4) The Greek 7/1, Latest win in chase at Down Royal in March. 40/1, tenth of 14 in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 44 days ago. Let down by jumping in better-class handicap at Punchestown festival; back from a break.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/1 +25%) The Dara Man		9 9/1(+25%)																															(5) The Dara Man 9/1, 22/1, might have needed run when tenth of 15 in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (23f, good) 12 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Becoming well treated. All the better for last month's comeback run and likely approaching a competitive mark.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 +9%) Vado Forte		10 10/1(+9%)																															(1) Vado Forte 10/1, 80/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, good) 58 days ago, left poorly placed. Player back down in class. Bit out of depth at Aintree, this more his level so don't rule out.
4	2 4th (2) (1.88/1 -71%) Get My Drift		1.88 1.88/1(-71%)																															(2) Get My Drift 1.88/1, Career best when winning 14-runner novice chase (3/1) at Kilbeggan (19.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Enters calculations. Kilbeggan maiden winner for whom drop back to 2m may not be ideal on such quick ground.
5th	3 5th (3) (10/1 -122%) Kildorrery		10 10/1(-122%)																															(3) Kildorrery 10/1, C&D winner. Creditable second of 7 in handicap chase (10/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 153 days ago. Can give a good account. Hold-up performer a frustrating sort but can't be ruled out back from a break.
6th	8 6th (8) (2.25/1 +70%) Clever Currency		2.25 2.25/1(+70%)																															(8) Clever Currency 2.25/1, Latest win in hurdle at Leopardstown in March. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Fourth of 15 in handicap chase (14/1) at Killarney (20f, good) 26 days ago. Kilbeggan run encouraging and although 2lb wrong don't rule out.
7th	6 7th (6) (22/1 -175%) Filon D'oudairies		22 22/1(-175%)																															(6) Filon D'oudairies 22/1, Latest win in chase at Thurles in December. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 11 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others more persuasive. Should have come on from last month's comeback run but trip looks on the short side.
8th	7 8th (7) (16/1 +76%) Stansfield		16 16/1(+76%)																															(7) Stansfield 16/1, One win from 28 NH runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at this course (15.8f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Not too much of note this year since returning from point-to-points; hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

GET MY DRIFT retuned from a mini-break to win last month and reverts to a handicap chase. Rated 134 over hurdles last year, he beat a useful mare to win at Kilbeggan and had previously run well in a Grade B chase on handicap debut, over a similar distance, in February. Vado Forte was seven lengths behind the selection in that Leopardstown race and while now 6lb better off, was well held at Aintree in April and returns following a mini-break. Kildorrery is an able type at this level and is well suited by two-miles but doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper. The Greek was well beaten in a much stronger race at the Punchestown festival but has some claims on best form while Filon D'oudairies might improve from a recent reappearance run over hurdles.

THE DARA MAN is on a good mark on the pick of last season's form so could be worth chancing having had excuses on his recent return. Get My Drift pulled clear with the runner-up when off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan and is a big threat, while the reliable Kildorrery should be in the mix again.

Although officially 2lb wrong here it may pay to take a chance on CLEVER CURRENCY, back in trip after a promising run at Kilbeggan

1	1 1st (1) (16/1 +20%) Outside The Door		16 16/1(+20%)																															(1) Outside The Door 16/1, One win from 3 runs last season. Pulled up in handicap chase (16/1) at Limerick (25.5f, good to soft) 16 days ago, tailed off when pulled up after 3 out. Pulled up on last month's return to action so watching brief advised for now.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 -50%) The Eye Of Tulla		5 5/1(-50%)																															(8) The Eye Of Tulla 5/1, 5/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap chase at Limerick (17.7f, good to soft) 16 days ago, forging clear. Significantly back up in trip and a player if his stamina holds. Limerick winner could have more to offer but not yet fully proven over this longer trip.
3	10 3rd (10) (3/1 +25%) Subset		3 3/1(+25%)																															(10) Subset 3/1, One win from 27 NH runs. Career best when winning 14-runner cross-country event chase at this course (25f, good to soft, 33/1) 42 days ago, all out. Booking of McDonagh a plus. Well handicapped back over regulation fences. Banks winner at the festival goes well on this ground so respected off a light weight.
4	4 4th (4) (18/1 -64%) Norwigi		18 18/1(-64%)																															(4) Norwigi 18/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (20f, good) 26 days ago. Okay mark but poor round of jumping at Killarney since raises doubts.
5th	6 5th (6) (18/1 -80%) Alpha Male		18 18/1(-80%)																															(6) Alpha Male 18/1, Course winner. Eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (19.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 18 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Veteran won 2m5f handicap here a year ago; fair effort here over hurdles last month.
6th	9 6th (9) (8.5/1 +29%) Highstreetfashion		8.5 8.5/1(+29%)																															(9) Highstreetfashion 8.5/1, Course winner. Latest win in chase at Down Royal in December. 12/1, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (23.3f, good) 8 days ago. 3m2f winner last season here; best form is on much softer ground though.
5	5 |F| (5) (6.5/1 +7%) Menindee		6.5 6.5/1(+7%)																															(5) Menindee 6.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase here in October. 6/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (23.7f, heavy). Off 6 months and market may be help assess well-being. C&D winner on this ground in October lack a recent run but ground in his favour.
3	3 |U| (3) (4.5/1 +55%) Silvertown		4.5 4.5/1(+55%)																															(3) Silvertown 4.5/1, One win from 23 NH runs. 9/1, good eighth of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (20f, good) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on for first time. Cheekpieces now replace blinkers but remains on a high enough mark.
7	7 |PU| (7) (6/1 -50%) Ocean Legacy		6 6/1(-50%)																															(7) Ocean Legacy 6/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap chase at Downpatrick (23.5f, good to soft, 8/1) 36 days ago, staying on well. Likely to give it another good shot. Won latest two completed starts on better ground; one for the shortlist.
2	2 |PU| (2) (16/1 +43%) Rust To Riches		16 16/1(+43%)																															(2) Rust To Riches 16/1, 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 9 in hunter chase at Listowel (24f, good) 5 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Twice raced in hunter chases recently; into handicaps here off a likely high enough mark.

LTO Selection:

OCEAN LEGACY has recently found form and is ideally suited by staying distances and good ground. Her form had been largely disappointing prior to this year but is just a six-year-old who can continue to progress a little further and can cope with an 8lb hike for a recent win. The Eye Of Tulla has also recently hit form on good ground and while he won well at Limerick, his best form is over shorter distances. Alpha Male, a 12 year old, won a similar handicap here in May 2022 and while well held over hurdles recently, that was over an inadequate distance and will be much better suited by today's conditions. Stablemate and banks specialist Subset is interesting rated just 81 but his previous handicaps form was poor.

The race revolves around SUBSET, who has never displayed a great deal over regulation fences but he's been in excellent form in cross-country events here this spring and his basement mark could be very lenient. Were he to fluff his lines, Ocean Legacy and The Eye of Tulla are probably best placed to take advantage.

With stamina proven, OCEAN LEGACY gets the vote over The Eye Of Tulla, although banks winner Subset could prove a real danger

Eighth of 12 in maiden hurdle (10/3) at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Good chance if bouncing back to debut form.

6th	15 6th (15) (3/1 +0%) Summer Gale		3 3/1(+0%)																															(15) Summer Gale 3/1, Fair form on the Flat/in bumpers but failed to replicate that kind of performance first time up over hurdles after 8 months off at Kilbeggan last week.

LTO Selection:

DANADA disappointed on a recent run but is better judged by a promising debut run. He shaped with promise on his Clonmel debut, with the runner-up, fifth and sixth-placed horses subsequently winning, and while he needs to show that form, his Downpatrick run was his first run for 108 days and this is a weak maiden. April point-to-point winner Nevermindestranger was in strong contention for a Downpatrick hunters chase when exiting at the second-last and while probably better suited to staying chases, seems suited by good ground and is interesting at this level. Steel Cable was reported to have burst blood vessels when pulling up at 33/1 at Navan last November. He has moved yards and it is positive that connections have persevered, but the eight-year-old needs to show vast improvement. Summer Gale has bits of flat form but was off-the-bridle for much of his seasonal reappearance and jumps debut at Kilbeggan. Blue In The West steps up from a recent confined maiden point-to-point win.

SUMMER GALE failed to replicate the level of form he'd shown in bumpers/on the Flat sent hurdling at Kilbeggan last week but is well worth another chance in a weak race. Danada can have a big say if bouncing back to his hurdling debut form, while Nevermindestranger is another to consider having shown up well in a hunter chase at Downpatrick recently.

A weak maiden for the venue. DANADA failed to back up an eyecatching Clonmel debut run but should appreciate this drop in trip

Good second of 9 in minor event hurdle at this course (19.8f, good to soft, 11/1) 45 days ago. Holds solid form claims. Back to best with C&D 2nd in April; may be more to come at this trip and has fitness edge.

Not seen since 2nd at Cheltenham last season; progressed since last seen over hurdles.
3	6 3rd (6) (22/1 +56%) Darraby		22 22/1(+56%)																															(6) Darraby 22/1, Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 17 in juvenile hurdle at this course (15.8f, good to soft, 14/1) 18 days ago. Up in trip with lots to find on form. Flat winner; brings a modest level on hurdle form to the table.
4	3 4th (3) (125/1 +0%) Gekkota		125 125/1(+0%)																															(3) Gekkota 125/1, Modest hurdler. One win from 2 runs last season. Twelfth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, good to soft, 14/1) 15 days ago. Faces a stiff task. Maiden hurdle winner; tailed off on recent return and has a mountain to climb on ratings.
5	5 |U| (5) (4/1 -20%) Jeff Kidder		4 4/1(-20%)																															(5) Jeff Kidder 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Off 14 months before below-par seventh of 10 in minor event hurdle at this course (19.6f, heavy) 161 days ago. This course winner can take a step forward. Grade 1 winning juvenile here; however, only seen once in 19 months and was tailed off.

After THE SHORT GO's wide-margin victory in a Killarney maiden hurdle, Henry de Bromhead reported that he had really turned inside out in the last few months. A couple of winners have come out of that race to strengthen the form. The forecast quick ground ought to be in his favour being by Fame And Glory. Ash Tree Meadow has been in good form over fences. He ran up a hat-trick last summer and was also placed in the Galway Plate. He hasn't been over hurdles since April last year, but looks dangerous and Danny Gilligan's 7lb claim is a big bonus. Jeff Kidder is coming off a break, but has plenty of talent. He had a golden spell over flights a couple of years ago and is more than capable of having a say.

THE SHORT GO made light of a six-month lay-off when going in at Killarney last time and can improve sufficiently to edge out form-choice Da Capo Glory in a useful contest. Jeff Kidder and Ash Tree Meadow can have a say too if ready to roll after respective absences.

There should be more to come from DA CAPO GLORY who chased home Grangeclare West here in April and should have more to offer

Off 13 months but yard in good form so can't be dismissed. Too bad to be true when last seen and off 14 months since; promise previously.

Dylan Thomas gelding; related to winners but may need further given his pedigree.

Eighth of 14 in bumper at Down Royal (16.8f, good, 16/1) on NH debut 8 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and market can prove a good guide. Modest point form but signs of ability on Rules bow last week; may build on that.
13th	2 13th (2) (66/1 -32%) Bonilla		66 66/1(-32%)																															(2) Bonilla 66/1, Notnowcato gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) A Grey Matter out of hurdle winner around 2m (stayed 2½m) Edwarda. Wears tongue strap. Pulled up both starts in points (latest Jan 22).

SCOTT LANG has form on fast ground on the Flat and should have more to offer on his second start over hurdles. He may not have quite got home when third over 2m3f on jumping debut at Clonmel last month, so the drop back in trip can help. He has been placed on his last two starts in staying handicaps on the Flat. Nathaniel filly New Year Honours should be a factor. She won on the all-weather track at Lingfield for Ralph Beckett and has had three spins over hurdles for Gordon Elliott. She has a best finish of second at Down Royal in November and hasn't been seen since December. Fermoyle has been placed in two bumpers and has claims on his hurdling debut. Bukhill was unplaced in two bumpers for Willie Mullins, but went off favourite in both. He is worth a market check on his first start for Peter Fahey.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and SCOTT LANG, who comes here in good order from the Flat, is fancied to belatedly build on his hurdling debut promise and open his account in this sphere. New Year Honours is second on the list and would rate a serious threat if back to her best. Hurdling-debutant Fermoyle appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

It was a promising hurdle debut from SCOTT LANG last year. He should be fit for this arriving on the back of solid efforts on the Flat

Sister to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Fruit Blossom, stays 2¾m, and half-sister to fair hurdler Wings Like Arion. One to note in the betting.

Likely type on paper and interesting to see what the market has to say. Manatee gelding; £47,000 3yo; dam French hurdle winner; any market support worth noting.

STRIKING took second place on his last couple of starts over hurdles and can get his turn. Although he was beaten a long way over a similar trip at this track last month, the horse that took the honours had been placed in Grade A and Grade B handicap hurdles. Gordon Elliott's Nottodaybobo was placed in three of his four bumpers and is an obvious threat on his first crack at hurdling. His stablemate, Sea Aster, is a newcomer to note being related to several winners. Bonavena is a nicely-bred sort making his debut for Peter Fahey.

In a race bigger on quantity than quality, Flat winner STRIKING is taken to open his account in this sphere. He chased home a Willie Mullins-trained hotpot here last time and, unless one of the newcomers turn out to be pretty decent, a reproduction of that effort will surely suffice. Of the newcomers, Farrokh is the most interesting, while the Gordon Elliott-trained pair, Nottodaybobo and Sea Aster also need a second look.

It's hard to oppose STRIKING (nap) who has finished runner-up in his last two outings and that level of form sets a clear standard

Off 8 months. Makes bumpers debut. Improved from his debut when eighth in a maiden hurdle here in October; more required.

Kept on well to win 8-runner point; £150,000 sale since and improver for this yard.

I WILL BE BAIE is hard to get away from on his first start for Willie Mullins. This French-bred gelding made 150,000 guineas at the sales after winning his point-to-point on fast ground at Taylorstown in April last year for Colin Bowe. Smokey Putnum showed marked improvement to come home third at Ballinrobe and Down Royal. This will be the quickest ground he will have faced, but he's starting to go the right way. Fad Eadrainn made a pleasing debut in third at Tipperary and should be in the hunt for prize money. Master Otis has had three outings and was second at Thurles in March. All of his runs have been on slower ground.

I WILL BE BAIE was an expensive purchase on the back of a point win and, while that was over a year ago, he's fully expected to make a successful start under Rules. Master Otis looks the main danger and Fad Eadrainn is likely to step forward from his debut.

I Will Be Baie is likely to be popular but FAD EADRAINN caught the eye on debut and with improvement likely, he gets the vote

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.
