BEGGARS ROCK was a touch unlucky on his chase debut at Cork back in December and may be able to strike back over the larger obstacles now. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding had just come to lead at the last in Cork when pecking on landing and eventually finishing a close third. He has won over hurdles since but was below par on his last outing over timber at Punchestown. Spinning Web only lost out by a head in handicap company last time and the 110-rated performer should have a big shout in a race confined to horses on that mark or less over hurdles. The 109 rated Vaureal is another for the shortlist.

BEGGARS ROCK has won over hurdles since his promising chasing debut third at Cork before Christmas so is fancied to add a first win in this sphere now. Spinning Web is feared most on the back of an excellent second here, although Gabriel Ranger and Vaureal can both have a say too.

Ian Donoghue scored with a recent recruit at Navan last Saturday and may repeat the feat with VAUREAL, placed in a handicap last time

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

The Gordon Elliott-trained WELCOME BACK has already shown strong 'track' form and could prove the one to beat here. The Getaway gelding was third in a Navan maiden hurdle just over a year ago and justified favourtism in a Tinahely maiden in January. He was probably value for a bit more than the winning margin then having made a mistake at the last. Magic Sadler looks the likely danger after a convincing win in a 'winners of one' at Bellharbour early last month. He had one of today's rivals, Fountain House, behind in fourth when chasing home Milan Forth in a Clonmel hunter chase back in January.

MAGIC SADLER has won a point since shaping well on his Clonmel hunter debut and is the one to beat unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding Gordon Elliott hunter chase newcomers Welcome Back and/or Last Round. The shortlist is completed by Fountain House, who was a couple of places behind the selection at Clonmel.

Pat Doyle's runner MAGIC SADLER won a point-to-point last month and may confirm previous hunter chase form with Fountain House

Not the strongest maiden hurdle and YORADREAMER looks like the obvious one to beat. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding was no match for Addragoole on his hurdling debut at Clonmel last month but it was a solid effort in second and with natural improvement he should prove hard to beat now. He had Mister Box back in fourth then and can confirm those placings. Joueuse Royale had a couple of nice runs over timber last summer/autumn. The form of her hurdling debut, when third to Expound at Tramore, has worked out fairly well.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal and it's YORADREAMER who gets the nod to go one better than his recent hurdling debut with improvement on the cards. Henry de Bromhead's string are starting to click into gear and Joueuse Royale can give the selection most to think about returning from 6 months off, with Mister Box and Love At Sea taken to fight out minor honours.

LOVE AT SEA was a wide-margin winner of a Sligo bumper and ran well in Listed company around here in December

COWPER HALL catches the eye here on his first outing for Gavin Cromwell. He ran a nice race when third on his handicap debut at Down Royal for previous connections and the Affinisea gelding has been snapped up since. Kp's Ladyofknock could be the danger. She hasn't enjoyed the best of luck in races since winning at Clonmel in December. She was carried out at Fairyhouse subsequently and wasn't helped by a loose horse last time when third in Down Royal. She may be able to turn the tables now on Prince Quattro, who won that race at Down Royal and went up 8lb.

Fairly useful on the Flat in France, LE BUGISTE looks to be finding his feet over hurdles for Gavin Cromwell. He receives a healthy pull at the weights that may help him turn the tables on Prince Quattro, who benefitted from a shrewd front-running ride to win at Down Royal and may face more competition for the lead on this occasion. Cromwell also has a live chance with stable debutante Cowper Hall and it may be significant if the market speaks heavily in favour of one of his runners.

Philip Rothwell is having another great season & PRINCE QUATTRO can back up his Down Royal victory despite carrying a career-high mark

STRETCHEMOUT is fitted with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces now and may be able to make her mark in this company. The point-to-point winner has shown some promise in three outings under Rules to date and has been given a mark of 102. With her mares allowance here she is entitled to play a big part. The handicapper has given Washington Parks a rating of 110 after three runs in strong maiden hurdles and if he can run up to that he has a big chance. The Henry de Bromhead-trained Mack The Chemist hasn't been far away in his three hurdle runs and is another for the shortlist.

BECKISTINE looked the likely winner when coming down at the last on his hurdling debut at Limerick and is fancied to gain compensation at the chief expense of Stretchemout, who should benefit from this longer distance. Mack The Chemist and O'Bon Pardon both need factoring in too.

BECKISTINE had the race at his mercy when a faller at the last on his sole hurdles start at Limerick in January and can make amends

BETTY DUTTON has been knocking on the door recently and may be able to get her head in front again now on this better surface. The Frozen Fire mare won her maiden hurdle on good ground a few years ago and seems fairly versatile. She has been runner-up on her last two outings and is only a couple of pounds higher than when chasing home Lucky Viv at Punchestown last month. Crossing The Bar comes here in winning form, having scored at Catterick last month, and is an obvious danger. Machismo ran a solid race on his handicap debut at Gowran last time and is another to consider.

The one who appeals most is RUSHMOUNT, who performed with plenty of credit in a valuable Leopardstown handicap last time and this lightly-raced 8-y-o may well have more to offer. Betty Dutton has been knocking on the door and she is likely to deliver another bold show, while Machismo is third choice ahead of Crossing The Bar and Lady of The Locke.

BETTY DUTTON hit the crossbar on her last two starts and deserves to get her head in front again. Next best is Sequoiaspirit

SUNSET BOULEVARD may be able to make a winning start for Willie Mullins. The Wings Of Eagles gelding is a half-brother to talented chaser Jungle Boogie, a Grade 3 winner over fences and a lively outsider for some of the big contests at Cheltenham next week. Riskaway is an interesting contender on his first start for Gordon Elliott. The No Risk At All gelding was bought by Gigginstown after finishing fourth in his point-to-point. Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Le Labo is one to note in the market. The Mount Nelson gelding is a half-brother to 14-time winner Presentandcounting.

SUNSET BOULEVARD gets the vote for Willie Mullins. Le Labo would rate a possible big danger if the betting vibes are strong given that Joseph O'Brien had a first-time-out bumper winner at Leopardstown earlier in the week. Gordon Elliott point recruit Riskaway is another to consider.

Debut point winner FRANKIE JOHN showed enough when fourth behind the Cheltenham-bound Copacobana to suggest he is worth a bet

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.
