13:55 Punchestown Maiden 7f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (10/3 +5%) Amangani	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(1) Amangani 10/3, 7/2, encouraging third of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago. Stable in good form. Likely to be on the premises. Third on racecourse bow (behind Mint Candy), open to improvement, leading claims.
2	5 2nd (5) (15/2 +25%) Joyful Princess	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(5) Joyful Princess 15/2, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 10 in minor event (22/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) on debut 38 days ago. Should progress. Fifth in strong Curragh maiden on debut, should improve for that and holds leading claims.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -300%) Beyond Dreams	20 20/1(-300%)	(3) Beyond Dreams 20/1, Foaled May 3. Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart Australian 5.5f-7f winner Zoustar and smart winner up to 1¾m Emperor of The Sun. Considered newcomer. Wootton Bassett half-sister to Zoustar, makes plenty of appeal on paper, check the market.
4	7 4th (7) (8/11 +42%) Mint Candy	0.727273 8/11(+42%)	(7) Mint Candy 8/11, Promising Dubawi colt who came in second of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 11/8) 14 days ago. Yard in good form. Sure to go well. Beaten a nose last time with Amangani 1.75l behind, Moore up first time, thereabouts again.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/2 +27%) Its All Peachy	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(4) Its All Peachy 11/2, Once-raced filly. 25/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, good) on debut 26 days ago, slowly away. Should have more to offer. 25-1 for debut at Leopardstown when green but promising, could go well with Keane up.
6th	10 6th (10) (20/1 +0%) Perfect Base	20 20/1(+0%)	(10) Perfect Base 20/1, Foaled January 25. €60,000 foal, €55,000 2-y-o, Acclamation filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Broken Stones and ungenuine winner up to 1¼m Piecederesistance. Acclamation filly related to 2yo winners, in-form yard can ready one, check the market.
7th	9 7th (9) (40/1 -150%) New Wave	40 40/1(-150%)	(9) New Wave 40/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, seventh of 10 in minor event (66/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) on debut 38 days ago. Needs to build on it. Promise on debut behind Joyful Princess, should improve for the run, each way claims.
8th	12 8th (12) (80/1 -700%) School Of Athens	80 80/1(-700%)	(12) School Of Athens 80/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 13 in maiden (28/1) at Tipperary (7.5f, good) on debut 16 days ago. Can build on it so she's one to consider. Promise in a barrier trial and when keen on her racecourse debut; place chance if settles.
9th	6 9th (6) (150/1 +0%) Kilgharrahs Love	150 150/1(+0%)	(6) Kilgharrahs Love 150/1, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 16 in maiden (125/1) at Gowran (7f, good) on debut 34 days ago. Not a bad effort on debut at 125-1, needs more to trouble the judge in this company.
10th	11 10th (11) (250/1 -150%) Princess Peggy	250 250/1(-150%)	(11) Princess Peggy 250/1, Twice-raced filly. Thirteenth of 14 in maiden (150/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Triple figure odds and well-beaten on both starts to date; others preferred.
11th	8 11th (8) (80/1 -142%) Murray's Castle	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Murray's Castle 80/1, Foaled April 13. €15,000 yearling, The Irish Rover filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart Italian/US 9f-11f winner Sopran Basilea and French winner up to 6.5f Power Best. Irish Rover filly related to winners but is probably best watched on her debut.
12th	2 12th (2) (250/1 -67%) Annie M	250 250/1(-67%)	(2) Annie M 250/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, last of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, good to soft) 14 days ago, very slowly away. Huge odds and out the back both starts to date, should get a mark after this.
13th	13 13th (13) (125/1 -400%) Sweet Zaroline	125 125/1(-400%)	(13) Sweet Zaroline 125/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, tenth of 14 in maiden (12/1) at Gowran (7f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Yard in good form. Likely to improve. Well beaten by Mint Candy and Amangani on debut at Gowran; needs to improve.

JOYFUL PRINCESS was well enough held on debut at the Curragh but that form is working out well and she should improve from the experience. Out of a Coolmore-bred unplaced dam, whose sister won at Listed level, she missed the break and raced keenly in the early stages. While beaten eight lengths into fifth, the daughter of Starspangledbanner finished reasonably well with the runner-up, the fourth and eighth-placed finishers each winning subsequently. Mint Candy finished a length-and-three-parts ahead of Amangani on their Gowran meeting a fortnight ago and the pair are likely to be closely matched, as the latter was a little short of room on the inner for some of the home straight.

A fair bit of potential on show here, not least Aidan O'Brien's impeccably-bred colt MINT CANDY who is taken to build on his promising Gowran second and get off the mark. Amangani could emerge as the chief threat on the back of her debut Gowran second, although Joyful Princess, It's All Peachy and School of Athens need factoring in too.

Preference is for JOYFUL PRINCESS. The form of her Curragh maiden fifth is strong and she looks open to plenty of improvement.

13:55 Punchestown Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:25 Punchestown Maiden 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (11/10 +27%) Genealogy	1.1 11/10(+27%)	(3) Genealogy 11/10, Promising Wootton Bassett colt. Second of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good, 13/2) on debut 17 days ago, nearest finish. Sure to build on it so he's a player. Runner-up to a better fancied stablemate on debut; improved since and is a major player.
2	10 2nd (10) (1/1 +38%) Storm Piece	1 1/1(+38%)	(10) Storm Piece 1/1, Promising sort. 11/4, second of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 24 days ago. Trainer going well so this Night of Thunder colt must enter calculations. Second in a Curragh maiden over 7f; this trip should be fine and can be a major player.
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 -67%) Starry Desert	10 10/1(-67%)	(9) Starry Desert 10/1, Thrice-raced colt, good second of 6 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, soft) 45 days ago. May do better still son he's in the picture. Just ahead of a subsequent smart winner when second at Galway last time; a major player.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -21%) Land Of The Giants	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Land Of The Giants 40/1, Foaled May 13. €12,000 foal, 16,000 gns yearling, €30,000 2-y-o, Calyx colt. Half-brother to 1m-11f winner Silky Warrior and 1¼m-1½m winner Spartan Warrior. Made 30,000euros at a breeze-up sale; by a useful sire and could run well.

Half-brother to several winners, including smart 1½m-1¾m winner Shamida and useful 12.5f winner Shajak. Dam 1½m winner. Interesting newcomer. By a leading sire and will appreciate this trip; yard second-string but can run well.
6th	2 6th (2) (80/1 -60%) Expert Analysis	80 80/1(-60%)	(2) Expert Analysis 80/1, Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 12 in maiden (200/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 17 days ago. Better effort last time; can run respectably but likely to be better suited to handicaps.
7th	14 7th (14) (80/1 -142%) Whywhywhy Delilah	80 80/1(-142%)	(14) Whywhywhy Delilah 80/1, Twice-raced filly. 11/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (7.5f, good) 16 days ago. Needs another step forward. Beaten approx 6l on both starts and will have to find significant improvement today.
8th	15 8th (15) (150/1 -50%) Pallatine Hills	150 150/1(-50%)	(15) Pallatine Hills 150/1, Once-raced colt. Last of 13 in maiden at Tipperary (7.5f, good, 50/1) on debut 16 days ago. RESERVE Beaten 10l on Tipperary debut and will have to improve loads on that; reserve.
9th	11 9th (11) (200/1 -100%) Trubshaw	200 200/1(-100%)	(11) Trubshaw 200/1, Once-raced gelding. 33/1, last of 6 in maiden at Tipperary (9f, good) on debut 16 days ago. Beaten nearly 20l on debut at Tipperary and can't be fancied on that evidence.
10th	8 10th (8) (80/1 -142%) Mocking	80 80/1(-142%)	(8) Mocking 80/1, Once-raced colt. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, good) on debut 17 days ago, missing break. Beaten 11l on recent debut at the Curragh and will have to improve a fair bit on that.
11th	7 11th (7) (250/1 -67%) Micasso	250 250/1(-67%)	(7) Micasso 250/1, Once-raced gelding. Fourteenth of 15 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good, 150/1) on debut 24 days ago. Beaten 22l on Curragh debut last month and can't be fancied on that form.
12th	1 12th (1) (66/1 -100%) Desmond Castle	66 66/1(-100%)	(1) Desmond Castle 66/1, Thrice-raced colt, fourth of 10 in maiden at Galway (8.4f, good, 66/1) 7 days ago. Stable in good form but needs another step forward. More encouraging at Galway last week behind a smart rival but still beaten 13l.
13th	13 13th (13) (250/1 -150%) Faerie Tales	250 250/1(-150%)	(13) Faerie Tales 250/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 17 in maiden (100/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good) on debut 61 days ago. Beaten a long way on debut at Leopardstown and can only be watched today.

STORM PIECE has an excellent pedigree and showed good ability on debut. By the sire of Economics and out of a blue-blooded Group 1-winning dam, he contested a newcomers' maiden at the Curragh and while the form is largely unproven, the Ballydoyle-trained winner was well-touted while the eighth-horse subsequently finished runner-up. The selection looks smart and has a notable Beresford Stakes entry. Genealogy himself showed promise on Curragh debut 17 days ago and is entitled to improve plenty from that display, while his stablemate Lord Byron is from a fine Aga Khan family and is a half-brother to a multiple Group 3 winner.

Aidan O'Brien's GENEALOGY shaped well on his debut when a running-on second at the Curragh and with a fair bit of progress on the cards he makes most appeal. Ger Lyons' Storm Piece also has better days ahead of him and is next best, although well-bred Camelot newcomer Lord Byron and Galway second Starry Desert can't be discounted either in this intriguing maiden.

Runner-up to a better-fancied stablemate on debut over this trip at the Curragh, GENEALOGY(nap) can go one better today.

14:25 Punchestown Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:55 Punchestown Handicap 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	11 1st (11) (8/1 -14%) Proleek Prince	8 8/1(-14%)	(11) Proleek Prince 8/1, Good third of 14 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft, 12/1) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. One of likelier contenders. Third over 1m2f at Naas last time; this shorter trip can suit better as he weakened then.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +33%) Stormie Outlook	8 8/1(+33%)	(6) Stormie Outlook 8/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Latest win at Killarney in July. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Cork (8f, good to firm) 32 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Decent efforts in defeat at Galway and Cork latest; can be in the mix again.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 +17%) Passionate	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Passionate 10/1, Winner at Killarney in May. Below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft, 13/2). Off 106 days. Not out of things. Won on soft but well beaten on good since; might need rain on return.
4	12 4th (12) (10/3 +39%) Avatar Jet	3.333333 10/3(+39%)	(12) Avatar Jet 10/3, Winner at Killarney in July. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 9 in handicap (11/4) at Down Royal (10.7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Back down in trip. Tongue strap back on. Not taken lightly. 1m2f might have stretched him at Down Royal last time; has a shout off the same mark.
5th	7 5th (7) (12/1 -33%) Pillar Of Hope	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Pillar Of Hope 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 7/1, creditable fourth of 17 in handicap at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 49 days ago, never nearer. First run for yard after leaving H. D. McGuigan. Warrants respect. Not a clear run at Galway last time; down 2lb and a chance on debut for a new yard.
6th	3 6th (3) (7/1 -8%) Mooretown Lad	7 7/1(-8%)	(3) Mooretown Lad 7/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Leopardstown in August. 9/2, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Enters calculations. Got off the mark over 1m1f at Leopardstown and mightn't have stayed 1m2.5f at Naas since.
7th	1 7th (1) (40/1 -21%) Lust	40 40/1(-21%)	(1) Lust 40/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 16 in handicap (33/1) at Navan (8.1f, good) 19 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Is off an attractive mark in theory but still needs to do more than lately.
8th	10 8th (10) (17/2 +15%) Sportingsilvermine	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(10) Sportingsilvermine 17/2, 12/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Too keen over 1m2f at Naas last time and could be suited by this drop in trip; considered.
9th	9 9th (9) (15/2 -50%) Gandolfo	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(9) Gandolfo 15/2, Not the most reliable but posted season's best when close second of 15 in handicap (14/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago and would be dangerous if in same mood here. Just denied in a Gowran handicap over this trip last time; up 3lb but still be a player.
10th	13 10th (13) (9/1 -29%) Purple Sky	9 9/1(-29%)	(13) Purple Sky 9/1, Upped her game when fourth at Gowran earlier this month and didn't get the best of runs when respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good) 7 days ago. Player. Fourth at Gowran but a lesser effort at Galway a week ago; a chance if bouncing back.
11th	4 11th (4) (16/1 -167%) Trethorn	16 16/1(-167%)	(4) Trethorn 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, eleventh of 22 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good) 24 days ago, having to pick way through. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Plenty to find on form. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut down in trip; check the market.
12th	5 12th (5) (40/1 -21%) Big Island	40 40/1(-21%)	(5) Big Island 40/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (12.1f, soft, 50/1) 15 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Now below last winning mark. Beaten a long way on Roscommon return and best watched for now.
13th	8 13th (8) (33/1 -65%) Amanirenas	33 33/1(-65%)	(8) Amanirenas 33/1, Latest win at Bellewstown in July. 12/1, below form fifth of 10 in claimer at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others preferred. Won a Bellewstown claimer over this trip in July but has been poor twice since.
14th	14 14th (14) (100/1 -525%) Seurat	100 100/1(-525%)	(14) Seurat 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 33 days ago. Booking of Hayes a plus. Improvement required on handicap debut. Beaten a long way in three maidens and will have to improve plenty even dropping in grade.

TRETHORN has been beaten long distances in three maiden runs but has a fine pedigree and showed some promise on his latest run. By Dubawi and out of a well-related Listed-winning dam, the selection finished behind subsequent St Leger winner Jan Brueghel on debut and all of 17 lengths behind last weekend's impressive Petingo Handicap winner Fighter and might improve in first-time cheekpieces from a manageable initial rating. Mooretown Lady has been running consistently well in useful handicaps and is dependable, while Gandolfo has been frustrating to follow but nonetheless was beaten just a short-head over this distance at Gowran a fortnight ago.

PURPLE SKY still has few miles on the clock and wasn't seen to best effect at Galway last week. She makes fair appeal. Avatar Jet and Gandolfo head the list of dangers.

The Denis Hogan yard is in decent form and SPORTINGSILVERMINE is worth a chance to break his duck down in trip.

14:55 Punchestown Handicap 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:25 Punchestown Stakes 9f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (4/5 -40%) Star Harbour	0.8 4/5(-40%)	(1) Star Harbour 4/5, Smart gelding. Latest win at Tipperary in August. 11/2, excellent second of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 33 days ago. Sets a high standard. In good form this year, winning twice incl' over this trip; just denied on AW last time.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/1 -11%) Gesture	10 10/1(-11%)	(4) Gesture 10/1, Fairly useful gelding. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in April. Tenth of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (10.3f, good to firm, 25/1) 77 days ago so needs to bounce back. Dual AW winner was well held twice on turf after; gelded and back from a break.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/4 +57%) Akecheta	1.5 6/4(+57%)	(3) Akecheta 6/4, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Tipperary in May. Good second of 5 in minor event at Roscommon (10.3f, soft, 8/1) 15 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and in the mix. Just denied over 1m2.5f at Roscommon last time and this trip can suit better.
4	5 4th (5) (25/1 -108%) Our Town	25 25/1(-108%)	(5) Our Town 25/1, Fairly useful filly. Last of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 50/1). Off 107 days. First run for yard after leaving John & Sean Quinn with more needed. French winner was well beaten in two starts in UK and best watched on Irish debut.

STAR HARBOUR might ideally prefer a slightly longer distance but won over today's trip at Tipperary in August and arrives following a career-best effort when second from a rating of 105 at Dundalk. Akecheta's dam is closely related to 2000 Guineas winner Mark Of Esteem and while lightly raced, she has shown useful form. She ran well at Roscommon last time and now has a first-time tongue-tie. Gesture has been gelded since his last run and his best form to date has been achieved on the all-weather.

STAR HARBOUR holds the clear edge on form so rates a confident choice to go one better than his recen excellent Dundalk second. Roscommon runner-up Akecheta appeals as the one to chase home the selection ahead of Acotango.

It is difficult to oppose STAR HARBOUR. Though he stays 1m4f, he did win over this trip this two starts ago.

15:55 Punchestown Maiden 9f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +46%) Ard Na Mara	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(8) Ard Na Mara 7/2, Twice-raced filly. 22/1, second of 22 in maiden at the Curragh (10f, good) 24 days ago. Should make her presence felt. Rock solid efforts first two starts, form of last run franked, leading contender.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +75%) Mythical Rock	4 4/1(+75%)	(5) Mythical Rock 4/1, Lightly-raced colt. Creditable second of 10 in maiden (7/2) at Bellewstown (8f, good to soft) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Each-way shout. Rated 74 after four maiden runs, beaten 6l over 1m last time, place chance back up in trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (100/1 -52%) Molto Amichi	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Molto Amichi 100/1, €8,000 2-y-o, Caravaggio gelding. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 2m (stayed 2½m) Patkai. Inexpensive Caravaggio gelding, probably best watched on racecourse debut.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +0%) Coul Dreamer	10 10/1(+0%)	(1) Coul Dreamer 10/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 10 in maiden at Bellewstown (8f, good to soft, 3/1) 21 days ago. Yard having good spell. Place possibilities. Fine effort over 9.5f on Gowran debut, poor at 8f latest, place chance back up in trip.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 -177%) Genoah	18 18/1(-177%)	(2) Genoah 18/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 14 in maiden (16/1) at Dundalk (8f) 67 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to find one or two too good once more. Rated 75, best effort on latest at Dundalk, place chance if repeating that on turf; gelded.
6th	13 6th (13) (9/2 -35%) Strolling	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(13) Strolling 9/2, Thrice-raced filly. 5/1 and visored for 1st time, second of 4 in maiden at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Down in trip and blinkers on 1st time. Solid chance. Rated 82, narrowly denied in first-time visor latest, chance again down in trip, blinkered.
7th	12 7th (12) (80/1 -220%) Storm Averted	80 80/1(-220%)	(12) Storm Averted 80/1, 30,000 gns yearling, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Aussie Stormer. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Inns Of Court debutante, speedily bred and probably best watched on debut.
8th	6 8th (6) (17/2 -89%) Powerful Hook Head	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(6) Powerful Hook Head 17/2, Once-raced colt. Tongue strap on, fifth of 13 in maiden at Gowran (9.4f, good, 8/1) on debut 34 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Finished behind Coul Dreamer and Ard Na Mara on debut, tongue tie retained, place claims.
9th	14 9th (14) (8/1 +20%) Yes Oui Si	8 8/1(+20%)	(14) Yes Oui Si 8/1, Lightly-raced filly. 5/1, bit below form third of 9 in maiden at Tramore (12f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Rated 77, best effort over 1m4f, drop in trip a positive, cheekpieces on, can't discount.
10th	9 10th (9) (100/1 -300%) Binneas	100 100/1(-300%)	(9) Binneas 100/1, Parish Hall filly. Closely related to 7f-10.7f winner Heavy Weight and half-sister to 3 winners, including smart/temperamental 1m winner Glor Na Mara. Dam unraced. Wears tongue strap. Ard Na Mara is presumably the stable first-string. Parish Hall filly is tongue tied for debut, yard has better chance with Ard Na Mara.
11th	11 11th (11) (80/1 -142%) Onlyinyourdreams	80 80/1(-142%)	(11) Onlyinyourdreams 80/1, Twice-raced filly. 6/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good) 85 days ago. Shane Foley prefers Yes Oui Si. Promise on testing ground on debut, not as good on sounder surface latest, second string.
12th	7 12th (7) (4/1 +0%) Vadali	4 4/1(+0%)	(7) Vadali 4/1, Lightly-raced colt. Hooded for 1st time, good second of 16 in maiden (11/2) at Galway (8.3f, soft) 45 days ago, closing all way to line. Major player. Rated 78, runner up the last twice, shaped like this trip would suit on latest, chance.
13th	3 13th (3) (50/1 -100%) Lost Soul	50 50/1(-100%)	(3) Lost Soul 50/1, Awtaad gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 6f-8.6f winner Cristal Breeze and 2-y-o 5f winner My Sapphire. Dam 1m winner who stayed 10.7f. Watch the betting for clues. Awtaad gelding related to winners, probably best watched but worth a market check.
14th	10 14th (10) (28/1 -133%) Blathnaid	28 28/1(-133%)	(10) Blathnaid 28/1, €8,500 foal, Belardo filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 6f winner Rasheeq and 1¼m winner Smiling Jayne. Belardo filly was bought for 8,500 euros as a foal, debutante probably best watched.

ARD NA MARA was no match for Fighter when second in a Curragh maiden, but had 20 horses behind her and the form got a massive boost on Saturday when the winner followed up at Leopardstown. Vadali has been placed on his last three outings and got closer to the winner with each run. He is one to note up in trip. Conversely, the 82-rated Strolling drops back in trip after being beaten a neck into second at Tramore.

POWERFUL HOOK HEAD made an encouraging start to his career at Gowran and, likely to be more street-wise this time, he is taken to come out on top. Vadali has found just one too good in maidens at Limerick and Galway the last twice and should be in the thick of things once more, while Strolling is also of strong interest on the back of her near miss at Tramore. Ard Na Mara makes each-way appeal, along with Coul Dreamer.

Preference is for Jim Bolger's filly ARD NA MARA after the form of her fine effort at the Curragh was boosted at Leopardstown.

Creditable third of 7 in handicap (9/2) at Sligo (10.5f, soft) 41 days ago, clear of rest. Yard in good form. Should go well again.

3	7 3rd (7) (16/1 +0%) Darkdeserthighway	16 16/1(+0%)	(7) Darkdeserthighway 16/1, 9/1, last of 8 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 26 days ago, not ideally placed. Needs a couple of these to falter. Close fourth at Gowran but was poor at Leopardstown since and has to bounce back.
4	1 4th (1) (15/2 -36%) Perfect Poise	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(1) Perfect Poise 15/2, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 16 in handicap (9/1) at Navan (8.1f, good) 19 days ago. Trainer going well. Warrants respect. Sole win came over 1m at this track last year; lots of fine runs since and should go well.
5th	8 5th (8) (7/1 +65%) Nahori	7 7/1(+65%)	(8) Nahori 7/1, 20/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good) 24 days ago. Others look better treated. AW maiden winner last year; not progressed since though not a bad effort last time.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/1 -22%) Sli Na Ghealai	11 11/1(-22%)	(3) Sli Na Ghealai 11/1, Posted creditable efforts the last twice, latest when third of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 26 days ago. Likely contender. Two wins last year; solid in defeat last twice over similar trips to this and can go well.
2	2 \|DQ\| (2) (7/1 +22%) Glen Princess	7 7/1(+22%)	(2) Glen Princess 7/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner claimer at Gowran (8f, good to soft, 5/2) 14 days ago, readily. This is tougher but she can't be discounted. Both wins at Gowran over 1m, incl' a claimer last time; blinkers worn then retained.

There should be upside in SHAVASI's mark of 76. She was last seen finishing third in a higher grade at Sligo. Prior to that, she shed her maiden tag at Killarney. Counterculture hacked up in a maiden at Roscommon and is one to keep on the right side of. The experienced Sli Na Ghealai is more than capable of landing a blow, while Presence goes to work at the bottom end of the handicap and shouldn't be underestimated.

This can go to PRESENCE, who ran a cracker back in handicap company at Galway last month and remains low mileage. Counterculture and Sli Na Ghealai rate the principal dangers.

A maiden winner over a mile at this track a year ago, PERFECT POISE has run well in defeat at times since and can score again.

Still low mileage and not taken lightly. Fine efforts in both handicap runs, only beaten 2l at Navan latest, should go well again.

Narrowly denied on handicap debut after long absence, chance again off 4lb higher.

There was plenty to like about JARVIS BROOK's stable debut second at Gowran Park. He had been off for more than 16 months and was just pipped on that first start for Paul Nolan. The bounce factor obviously comes into play, but he travelled well at Gowran which bodes well for this assignment. Harseva has shown improvement since entering handicaps and is on a mark she can go well off. Tartaraghan's runner-up effort at Down Royal reads well in the context of this race and she's noted too.

There should be more to come from JARVIS BROOK, who only narrowly failed to make a winning debut for his new yard at Gowran last month and is entitled to build on that. Harseva and Adhul should also go well.

Narrow preference is for HARSEVA. She has run very well in her first two handicaps and this slight drop in trip should suit.

2	14 2nd (14) (25/1 +50%) Dynamite Defense	25 25/1(+50%)	(14) Dynamite Defense 25/1, Blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (9f, good, 33/1) 16 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Not beaten that far in first time blinkers latest (retained), needs more to feature here.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 +25%) Kiki Roberts	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Kiki Roberts 12/1, 10/1, bit below form third of 10 in claimer at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 -20%) Tall Story	12 12/1(-20%)	(12) Tall Story 12/1, Remains a maiden after 39 Flat runs. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to firm, 5/1) 40 days ago. Booking of Cleary a plus. Others more persuasive. 0-39 but has gone close on multiple occasions, poor latest but could rebound, place claims.
8th	11 8th (11) (14/1 -75%) Hale Bopp	14 14/1(-75%)	(11) Hale Bopp 14/1, Shaped better than bare result when sixth of 28 in handicap (25/1) at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago, finishing well. Step up in trip a plus and is an interesting contender. Solid effort at the Curragh last time, best recent form is on the AW but can't discount.
9th	9 9th (9) (50/1 +24%) Pomeriggio	50 50/1(+24%)	(9) Pomeriggio 50/1, 40/1, last of 28 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes limited appeal. Won a claimer for former yard, no show in five runs for current stable, hard to fancy.
10th	2 10th (2) (11/2 +8%) Limestone Red	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) Limestone Red 11/2, Posted season's best when good third of 18 in handicap at Cork (8.9f, good to firm) 32 days ago, running on.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Plenty in with chances in a competitive handicap. LIMESTONE RED ran well for a long way at Cork latest before finishing third and could build on that for Michael Halford and Tracey Collins. Finsceal Annie looks sure to be popular after delivering at Tipperary before just failing by a head to follow up at the same track. Prominent racer Simple Endeavour has finished second on her last couple of outings and ought to be in the mix too.

HALE BOPP has been given a chance by the handicapper and shaped well over a shorter trip at the Curragh last month. He gets the nod in the finale. Keilah and Limestone Red can also make their presence felt.

FINSCEAL ANNIE gets the nod. She was arguably a shade unlucky not to win again last time and a 5lb hike may not halt her progression.

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.
