1	2 1st (2) (12/1 -60%) Common Practice		12 12/1(-60%)																															(2) Common Practice 12/1, Useful over hurdles and made a successful chasing debut in impressive fashion at Wexford (2m) in July. Wasn't suited by the way the race developed back there last time and remains with potential. Cheekpieces back on. Lack of a recent run a concern but has run well fresh; not totally proven at this trip.
2	4 2nd (4) (2/13 +81%) High Class Hero		0.153846 2/13(+81%)																															(4) High Class Hero 2/13, Confirmed promise of chasing bow when winning 8-runner maiden chase (8/15) at Punchestown (22.7f, soft) 23 days ago, bit in hand. Open to further improvement and has excellent claims. Classy hurdler has made a good start chasing; big player and should handle better ground.
3	3 3rd (3) (16/1 +36%) Drumgill		16 16/1(+36%)																															(3) Drumgill 16/1, Sprung a surprise when winning on chasing debut here in November. Respectable fourth back over hurdles since but faces a stiff task here. Debut chase win here in November; could have more to offer but faces some classy rivals.
4	5 4th (5) (13/2 +28%) Prairie Dancer		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(5) Prairie Dancer 13/2, Useful chaser. C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 125/1, fell in Scalp Novices' Chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, good to soft) 41 days ago won by Ballyburn. This more suitable. C&D handicap win in December on good; stiffer task here but place claims.
1	1 |U| (1) (125/1 +17%) Committee Meeting		125 125/1(+17%)																															(1) Committee Meeting 125/1, Just fair at best over hurdles and was pulled up on Punchestown chasing debut. 0-4 hurdling and pulled up on recent chase debut; looks out of depth here.

The decision to keep HIGH CLASS HERO at home this week can reap rewards here. The Brown Advisory at Cheltenham was initially mentioned as the target for the Sulamani gelding after an impressive victory at Punchestown last month. This is obviously an easier assignment and he sets a fair standard off a mark of 148. Stablemate Fun Fun Fun disappointed at Exeter last month but lost a front shoe then and can be forgiven the below-par showing. She had been impressive on her chase debut at Naas and could be the danger now. Prairie Dancer fell early when pitched into Grade 1 company last time and this is a more suitable target now. He's capable of reaching the frame.

HIGH CLASS HERO confirmed the promise of his chasing debut when landing the odds with a bit in hand at Punchestown last month and can take the step up in grade in his stride with further improvement on the cards. Common Practice wasn't ideally suited by the way the race developed at Wexford on his most recent outing and remains with potential.

Providing she jumps better than at Exeter, FUN FUN FUN may be able to exploit the weight allowance over stablemate High Class Hero

1	1 1st (1) (9/2 -13%) Spinning Web		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(1) Spinning Web 9/2, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 11/2, career best when winning 11-runner novice chase at this C&D (good to soft) 9 days ago. Well in the mix again. Improver here recently on better ground; 7lb higher but more improvement on the cards.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 -78%) Lilian Bland		8 8/1(-78%)																															(7) Lilian Bland 8/1, C&D winner. 9/2, career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase at Navan (20.4f, heavy) 14 days ago. Up 5 lb but she's not taken lightly in her current mood. Recent Navan winner on favoured heavy; 5lb rise fair but quicker ground not be ideal.
3	14 3rd (14) (7/2 +53%) Crowsatedappletart		3.5 7/2(+53%)																															(14) Crowsatedappletart 7/2, A three-time winner over hurdles and fences this season. 8/1, very good second of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, soft) 77 days ago. Switches to fences and expected to be bang there off a reduced mark. Much improved hurdler this term; back chasing off 14lb lower mark so obvious appeal.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -133%) Clonbury Bridge		14 14/1(-133%)																															(3) Clonbury Bridge 14/1, Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in January. Brought down 1st in handicap chase at Leopardstown (21.5f, good to soft, 13/2) 12 days ago. Can bounce back. Brought down early at Leopardstown, previous Fairyhouse win at this trip augurs well.
5th	9 5th (9) (5/1 +29%) Irish Impulse		5 5/1(+29%)																															(9) Irish Impulse 5/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this season. 10/3, below form fourth of 18 in handicap chase at Naas (16f, good to soft) 89 days ago. Can make his presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Clonmel winner returns to same trip and better ground so don't rule out him bouncing back.
6th	10 6th (10) (11/1 +45%) Ricky Langford		11 11/1(+45%)																															(10) Ricky Langford 11/1, Moody sort. Good fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at this course (15.6f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly up in trip. Others are still preferred. Three chase wins have all been over shorter trips on this sort of ground; stamina concerns.
7th	5 7th (5) (20/1 +20%) Must Be Dreaming		20 20/1(+20%)																															(5) Must Be Dreaming 20/1, Latest win in chase at Tramore in September. Pulled up in handicap chase (20/1) at Limerick (17.7f, soft) 79 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Others more persuasive. Tramore win over 2m but out of form when last seen.
8th	2 8th (2) (40/1 -100%) Secret She Keeps		40 40/1(-100%)																															(2) Secret She Keeps 40/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Henry De Bromhead when last of 10 in handicap chase at this course (21.8f, good, 8/1) 55 days ago. Tailed off on yard debut here in January after 633-day absence; best watched.
9th	15 9th (15) (40/1 -21%) Dontdooddson		40 40/1(-21%)																															(15) Dontdooddson 40/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (15.6f, good to soft, 18/1) 9 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly back up in trip. Long losing run and recent hurdles form off much lower mark doesn't inspire confidence.
12	12 |F| (12) (14/1 +44%) Andyourbirdcansing		14 14/1(+44%)																															(12) Andyourbirdcansing 14/1, One win from 21 NH runs. Running below form when fell last in handicap chase (22/1) at this course (16f, good) 37 days ago. Back up in trip with more needed. 0-6 chasing, beaten when faller in 2m handicap here recently.
10th	4 10th (4) (12/1 +25%) Malinas Glory		12 12/1(+25%)																															(4) Malinas Glory 12/1, Course winner. Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (18.9f, heavy, 20/1) 16 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Tongue strap back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won here in November on good, heavy ground not ideal of late; don't rule out.
11th	11 11th (11) (25/1 -25%) Baltinglass Hill		25 25/1(-25%)																															(11) Baltinglass Hill 25/1, Fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 50/1) 13 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Best form is over shorter; others preferred.
8	8 |PU| (8) (9/2 +72%) Get It Right		4.5 9/2(+72%)																															(8) Get It Right 9/2, 66/1, hampered and unseated rider last (running well) in handicap chase at this course (16f, good) on debut over fences 37 days ago. Back up in trip and not ruled out. Back to a more suitable trip here but inexperience a concern.

SPINNING WEB may be able to follow up after a good win over course and distance nine days ago. The Mag Mullins-trained gelding appreciated stepping up to this trip then having been narrowly denied over two miles at this venue on his previous visit. Lilian Bland also comes here in winning form, having scored in good style at Navan a fortnight ago. She's versatile ground-wise but her best form is probably on softer. Irish Impulse won twice in November but weakened tamely enough when last seen at Naas in December. After a little break he has to be respected.

CROWSATEAPPLETART comes here at the top of his game over hurdles but also has a fencing win to his name this season and is fancied to bag a second victory off a reduced chasing mark. C&D winners Lilian Bland and Spinning Web appeal as the duo to chase home Michael Winters' 8-y-o in that order.

Much improved over hurdles recently, CROWSATEDAPPLETART holds plenty of interest back chasing here off a 14lb lower mark

FOLLOWING ORDERS ran a cracker on his racecourse bow at Leopardstown 13 days ago and can open his account now. The Order Of St George gelding got within three-parts of a length of Solsbury Hill then. It wasn't the strongest contest, with the winner rated 100, but this doesn't appear to be the hottest heat either. Free Flow didn't make any impression on the front pair when third at Punchestown last month but it was still a promising enough run and he should play a bigger part now in this company. Slieve Annilog has been given a rating of 112 after three decent enough efforts in strong maiden hurdles. If he runs up to that he'll be a big player.

FOLLOWING ORDERS showed plenty when finding only one too good on his hurdling/Rules debut at Leopardstown and gets the nod to go one better in an ordinary-looking maiden. Brave Solider rates the main threat ahead of Free Flow.

Philip Rothwell's FOLLOWING ORDERS probably does not have to improve much from his Leopardstown run to go one place better

As good as ever when second in the Champion Chase at Down Royal (3m, good to soft) in November. Not disgraced when seventh to Galopin Des Champs in the Irish Gold Cup last month.

ASTERION FORLONGE can avail of a drop in class for Willie Mullins. Just three runs back he finished second in a Grade 1 staying assignment at last season's Punchestown Festival. He has plenty of form on drying ground and is the choice of Paul Townend. Hewick's runner-up berth in the French Champion Hurdle last May shows what he is capable of in this discipline. He hasn't been at his best in his last couple of outings, although Paddy Hanlon's 7lb claim will help, as will this better ground. Mullins' Kilcruit hasn't troubled the judge in his last few appearances, but has plenty of back class.

High-class veterans ASTRERION FORLONGE and Hewick can dominate this conditions hurdle, with a narrow preference for the former.

Last season's King George winner HEWICK was second in a Grade 1 hurdle last May and has a slight edge over Asterion Forlonge

SYRACUS DU HOUX has been running in some maiden hurdles won by very useful horses. He has a Punchestown runner-up spot in the book and could have a big say on his handicap debut off a mark of 106. Therellbguddaysyet has to bounce back from a below-par effort over a shorter trip at Gowran Park, but that is feasible. He won a maiden hurdle on his last visit to this track in November. Slim Marvel has been in decent nick since December and could lay down a challenge. The suspicion is that there is another victory in Duke Silver's locker, while Milanaway is one to consider too.

The testing conditions may not have been ideal for MILANAWAY at Punchestown recently and, back on better ground and in the hope that the addition of cheekpieces help eke out a little more, this could be the day when she finally gets her head in front. There are no concerns surrounding this 7-y-o with regard to stamina and the same is true of Slim Marvel, who is second choice. Conversely, this trip is a worry where both Duke Silver and Love Like This are concerned.

Better ground should suit PEBBLE BLEU who is potentially well handicapped relative to her chase form and has been highly tried

There are a couple of newcomers in here with notable Flat speed in their pedigrees. Joseph O'Brien takes the wraps off GALILEO SAND, who made six figures at the sales. He is a half-brother to a Group 1 winner and looks sure to appreciate this decent ground. Paddy Twomey unleashes Eagle Of Destiny, who is a half-sister to an Irish St Leger winner so has to be given plenty of respect in this discipline. Old Bridge starts out for Gordon Elliott and Robcour and ought to be one of the leading protagonists. Pat Doyle has won this race before and his Tim Toe is worth a market check.

With little worthwhile form to go on, newcomers will likely dominate. Before market clues, OLD BRIDGE, Eagle of Destiny and Galileo Sand are preferred in that order.

Paddy Twomey had EAGLE OF DESTINY ready to run on the Flat last spring. The half-sister to Sonnyboyliston may prove equal to this task

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.
