1	12 1st (12) (4/1 +0%) Pana To Milan		4 4/1(+0%)																															(12) Pana To Milan 4/1, Modest winner at 22f in chases. 12/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap chase at this course (22.1f, soft) 12 days ago, kept up to work. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back down in trip. 2m6f chase winner here last month; back in trip here off 10lb lower hurdles mark.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/1 +0%) Jay Pee M		7 7/1(+0%)																															(3) Jay Pee M 7/1, Good third of 7 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 35 days ago. Live each-way chance. Handicap debut run encouraging; could well have more to offer.
3	5 3rd (5) (16/1 -14%) Dontdooddson		16 16/1(-14%)																															(5) Dontdooddson 16/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy, 9/1) 65 days ago, dropping away from 3 out. Placed form last year would give him a shout but pulled up last time so questions.
4	13 4th (13) (9/1 +36%) Navy Waves		9 9/1(+36%)																															(13) Navy Waves 9/1, C&D winner. Respectable 16¾ lengths eighth of 14 to Smallcraftwarning in handicap hurdle (12/1) at this course (16.4f, soft) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Encouraging C&D run last month but still has a fair bit to find with a couple of these.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 +10%) Mullins Cross		9 9/1(+10%)																															(8) Mullins Cross 9/1, Latest win in hurdle at Bangor in December. Creditable 10¾ lengths fourth of 14 to Smallcraftwarning in handicap hurdle at this course (16.4f, soft, 8/1) 12 days ago. C&D fourth to Smallcraftwarning; senior rider takes over here and worth a look.
6th	1 6th (1) (7/2 +30%) Smallcraftwarning		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(1) Smallcraftwarning 7/2, 40/1, won 14-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16.4f, soft) 12 days ago, driven out. Merits consideration. Shock C&D winner last month; questionable if he can back that up off 7lb higher.
7th	14 7th (14) (5/1 +85%) Thelonglad		5 5/1(+85%)																															(14) Thelonglad 5/1, 12/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 35 days ago. Opposable. Cork fourth on return hasn't been built on.
8th	20 8th (20) (28/1 +44%) Jonny Mansie		28 28/1(+44%)																															(20) Jonny Mansie 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good) 179 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. May well do better. RESERVE. Shown very little in four maidens, hard to make a case for on handicap debut; reserve.
9th	15 9th (15) (66/1 -65%) On The Banks		66 66/1(-65%)																															(15) On The Banks 66/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (22.4f, soft, 50/1) 21 days ago, tailed off when pulled up after 4 out. Back down in trip. Poor run of form in handicaps, impossible to be confident in despite declining mark.
10th	7 10th (7) (40/1 -100%) Getaway Erin		40 40/1(-100%)																															(7) Getaway Erin 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, third of 6 in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 40 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time for this handicap debut and she's open to improvement. Maiden form not progressive, probably best watched on handicap debut.
11th	17 11th (17) (18/1 +64%) Max Time		18 18/1(+64%)																															(17) Max Time 18/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 41 days ago. Unplaced in 18 starts, mildly encouraging at Fairyhouse last time but remains opposable.
12th	11 12th (11) (22/1 -57%) Glencourt Valley		22 22/1(-57%)																															(11) Glencourt Valley 22/1, 5/1, respectable seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, good to soft) 142 days ago, running on. Others preferred. Opening two handicap efforts not without promise but back from a break and may need this.
2	2 |PU| (2) (10/1 +38%) He Picked Us		10 10/1(+38%)																															(2) He Picked Us 10/1, 66/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (16.2f, soft) 103 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Struggling so far in handicaps; handicapper relenting and tongue tie now tried.

PANA TO MILAN put it all together to win over fences in Thurles last month and could follow up over the smaller obstacles. This is a significant drop in trip, however, she has back form over this distance. Furthermore, she competes off a lower hurdle rating in comparison to her chase mark. Smallcraftwarning sprang a 40/1 surprise over a similar trip in a higher grade, so could be up to defying a 7lb rise in the weights. Depeche Mo hit a bit of form in the autumn in being placed in Wexford and Fairyhouse. He has run well off a break before and Niall Moore's 7lb claim has him on an attractive mark. He wouldn't want the ground too deep, though. Dontdooddson is capable on a going day, but was pulled up when last seen in Punchestown.

DEPECHE MO remains a maiden following 14 attempts over hurdles but he arrives here on the back of a couple of solid efforts in defeat and this could be the day when he finally gets his head in front. The 6-y-o may have most to fear from Pana To Milan, who is 0-11 herself in this sphere but she won well off a 2 lb higher chase mark here last time. Recent C&D scorer Smallcraftwarning is also firmly in calculations, while Getaway Erin may well leave her previous form behind now handicapping.

Preference is for DEPECHE MO, absent since his Fairyhouse second in October but who runs well fresh and looks nicely weighted

Up in trip. Should do much betterat some point. Mid-division in four maidens at 2m; upped in trip and drops in class so don't rule out.

Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Punchestown (20.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Player. Fair handicap debut recently; back in maiden company here with place prospects.

Cheekpieces on 1st time. Worth another chance. Definite promise without being a convincing finisher; cheekpieces now tried.
2	2 (2) (14/1 -40%) Jeronimo De L'ouch		14 14/1(-40%)																															(2) Jeronimo De L'ouch 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy, 7/1) 67 days ago. Encouraging hurdles bow at Naas in December, ensuing Limerick race may have come too soon.
10	10 (10) (14/1 -27%) West Clare		14 14/1(-27%)																															(10) West Clare 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in bumper at Listowel (20f, good, 10/3). Off 17 months. Makes hurdles debut. Progressive in 3 bumpers in 2022 but long absence obvious concern on hurdles debut.
14	14 (14) (20/1 +20%) Gentle Anna		20 20/1(+20%)																															(14) Gentle Anna 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixteenth of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft, 250/1) 53 days ago. Up in trip. Promise in points for Colin Bowe but 3 maiden hurdle runs this term disappointing; reserve.
6	6 (6) (28/1 -250%) Malton Groove		28 28/1(-250%)																															(6) Malton Groove 28/1, Fair hurdler. First run since leaving Gordon Elliott when last of 6 in novice chase (150/1) at Gowran (20f, heavy) 17 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Hood on 1st time. Initial hurdles promise hasn't materialised; back from chasing.
7	7 (7) (40/1 +60%) Rodney		40 40/1(+60%)																															(7) Rodney 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tenth of 11 in bumper (50/1) at this course (15.6f, soft) 21 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. Some ability in bumpers and a Limerick maiden hurdle but loads more needed.
4	4 (4) (50/1 -317%) Leis Fein		50 50/1(-317%)																															(4) Leis Fein 50/1, Modest hurdler. 125/1, fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at this course (23.6f, soft) 12 days ago. Tailed off on recent comeback run here (3m); hard to fancy.
11	11 (11) (50/1 -25%) Bee Bright		50 50/1(-25%)																															(11) Bee Bright 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 8 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Punchestown (22.4f, heavy) 13 days ago. Two runs in maiden hurdles haven't amounted to much; handicaps more likely her forte.
9	9 (9) (100/1 -150%) Tellmeyourtroubles		100 100/1(-150%)																															(9) Tellmeyourtroubles 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 200/1) 35 days ago, pulled up. Up in trip. Three maiden runs haven't amounted to much, very hard to fancy.

BALALLY PARK showed ability in fourth at Wexford and in fifth at Limerick which gives him bright prospects in a weak race. Trip and ground look ideal for him, and first-time cheekpieces could elicit some improvement. Sainte Baol represents a powerful stable and ought to be heavily involved as it was a decent mares' maiden hurdle that she finished seventh in at Punchestown in January. She is a former wide-margin winner of a point-to-point. John The Diva showed a bit more in fourth at Punchestown which gives him a shot at prize money.

BALALLY PARK wasn't seen to best effect at Limerick last time and is worth another chance to build on his Wexford form. Sainte Baol and John The Diva head the dangers.

A maiden which probably won't take much winning and MALTON GROOVE could take the beating on his old form in a first-time hood

3	3 (3) (11/10 +51%) Linden Arden		1.1 11/10(+51%)																															(3) Linden Arden 11/10, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 7-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.9f, soft, 8/11) 29 days ago, unchallenged. Further progress likely. Comfortable maiden winner at Punchestown, raised 12lb but may continue to make progress.
6	6 (6) (3/1 +25%) Native Speaker		3 3/1(+25%)																															(6) Native Speaker 3/1, Promising sort. 9/2, creditable second of 8 in novice hurdle at Limerick (21f, heavy) 68 days ago, no match for winner. Big player on handicap debut. Point winner, twice runner-up in maidens, not without a chance on his handicap debut.
8	8 (8) (4/1 +67%) Ishan		4 4/1(+67%)																															(8) Ishan 4/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Limerick in December. 20/1, respectable eleventh of 22 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24.3f, soft) 31 days ago. Two wins from his last four starts, handed an extra 8lb for Limerick, may be a bit high.

11	11 (11) (80/1 -100%) Ballycairn		80 80/1(-100%)																															(11) Ballycairn 80/1, Fairly useful winner at 20f in bumpers. First run since leaving Mrs Denise Foster when last of 12 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (20.2f, soft, 200/1) 70 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Tailed off at Down Royal at Christmas on first run after long layoff, best watched for now.

Former point-to-point winner NATIVE SPEAKER catches the eye on handicap hurdle debut. He was a somewhat remote second in maiden hurdles at Punchestown and Limerick, but the horses that beat him are smart and have both followed up. The Punchestown winner subsequently landed a Grade 2 novice hurdle. Shannon Royale won a Punchestown maiden hurdle in November by a whopping 24 lengths and the horse in second is now a leading contender for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. He disappointed on his next appearance in Navan, but got back to work when a close second in Punchestown. He has to give plenty of weight away, but is a big player. Linden Arden is markedly up in trip for Willie Mullins, but was an easy winner in Punchestown and should have plenty to offer while Ishan didn't run at the Dublin Racing Festival and is a solid stayer.

NATIVE SPEAKER and Linden Arden both have relatively low mileage and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter is accorded the utmost respect on the back of his all-the-way Punchestown success last month but preference is for Native Speaker, who has chased home borderline smart novices the last twice and this former point winner promises to be suited by this stiffer test now pitched into a handicap. West Is Awake is third choice ahead of Power Hour and Shannon Royale.

There is a good chance that Linden Arden will continue to prosper, However, POWER HOUR is put forward as an each-way option

Dam placed over hurdles, 7f-8.4f winner on Flat, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 2½m) Noble Alan. Point winner back from 11 months off and got to be respected for these connections. Form of point win is appealing, might prefer better ground but has to be taken seriously.
6	6 (6) (10/3 +45%) Eastbank Warrior		3.333333 10/3(+45%)																															(6) Eastbank Warrior 10/3, Fell in a point and just fourth of 5 in bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy, 5/2) on NH debut 35 days ago. May have been unsuited by the slow gallop at Limerick, not much between him and Machismo.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +50%) Blaze The Way		5 5/1(+50%)																															(2) Blaze The Way 5/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler Enniscoffey Oscar. Third of 8 in bumper at Leopardstown (20f, heavy, 12/1) on NH debut 69 days ago. That is usually a good race and he can improve. Finished 25l behind the runner-up when third on debut at Leopardstown, open to improvement.
8	8 (8) (5/1 +0%) Machismo		5 5/1(+0%)																															(8) Machismo 5/1, €28,000 half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Keeper Hill and useful hurdler Dargiannini. Winning pointer, found the lack of pace against him when last of 5 in bumper at Limerick (16f, heavy, 6/1) 35 days ago. Could do better this time. Point winner, in common with Eastbank Warrior probably unsuited by slow gallop at Limerick.
1	1 (1) (12/1 +14%) Barton Snow		12 12/1(+14%)																															(1) Barton Snow 12/1, Modest hurdler. Hooded for 1st time, good eighth of 14 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Navan (15.7f, heavy) 23 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Winning pointer, placed in two of his seven bumper starts, might prefer better ground.
3	3 (3) (100/1 -100%) Brooklyn Bridge		100 100/1(-100%)																															(3) Brooklyn Bridge 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 8 in bumper at Punchestown (15.9f, heavy) on NH debut 16 days ago. Big price when last of eight on his recent debut at Punchestown, unlikely to feature.
5	5 (5) (150/1 -355%) Dream Shaper		150 150/1(-355%)																															(5) Dream Shaper 150/1, Remains a maiden. Sixth of 8 in bumper at Punchestown (15.9f, heavy, 150/1) 16 days ago. Unplaced in seven bumper attempts, nothing to suggest he could feature.

RED HUGH's best point-to-point form is on much better ground, however, testing going isn't a negative for progeny of his sire so he is taken to graduate to the track with a win. Barry Connell's newcomer Net Boy has to be given a market check. He made 60,000 euro at the Land Rover Sale and is related to a five-time winner in Britain. Machismo was successful 'between the flags' last December yet was easy to back when last of five on track debut at Limerick in January. There is likely to be much more to come from him. Eastbank Warrior fell when leading his point-to-point and was only 5/2 for his racecourse debut in Limerick where he finished fourth (a head in front of Machismo). There could be improvement in him.

A thin bumper that could be fought out by newcomers NET BOY and Red Hugh, with Barry Connell's charge chanced before market clues. Machismo wasn't seen to best effect at Limerick and could do better in this bigger field.

A slow gallop was probably not ideal for two of these at Limerick last time, EASTBANK WARRIOR may uphold form with Machismo

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.
