|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2) (6/1 +8%)Kappa Jy Pyke |
6/1(+8%) | (2) Kappa Jy Pyke 6/1, Stable has won four of the last five runnings of this race; below form and outclassed when down the field in the Turners Mersey Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) over 2m4f at Aintree last time; needs to improve but could do so for top yard on chase debut. No show in Grade 1 company at Cheltenham and Aintree; likely to need the run on chase bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (1/7 +50%)Salvator Mundi |
1/7(+50%) | (5) Salvator Mundi 1/7, Stable has won four of the last five editions of this race; keen but ran to form when second, beaten 9l, in the Champion Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) over 2m1f at Punchestown last time; top jockey back on board; Grade 1 hurdle winner the one to beat on form on chase debut. Grade 1 winner over hurdles should be a class apart on his return/chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (12/1 +25%)Donnie Devito |
12/1(+25%) | (1) Donnie Devito 12/1, Outpaced but ran to form when second, beaten 10l, in a 3m novice chase at Clonmel last time; returns from a short break; effective between 2½m and 3m; progressing. Dual hurdles winner last year at about 2m4f but could find this trip too sharp. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (25/1 -39%)Stormalong |
25/1(-39%) | (8) Stormalong 25/1, Showed some improvement from debut when fourth, beaten 7¼l, in the T.A. Morris Memorial Mares Chase (Listed) over 2m5f at Clonmel last time; effective at 2m–2½m and best on a sound surface; progressing over fences. Listed hurdle winner; modest form in two chase starts to date; this looks too demanding. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (80/1 +47%)Pralognan |
80/1(+47%) | (3) Pralognan 80/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 4l, in a 2m handicap hurdle at Cork on his latest run; faces a stiff task. Solid third in Cork handicap hurdle on latest but out of his depth here on chase bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (250/1 +0%)Road To The Weir |
250/1(+0%) | (4) Road To The Weir 250/1, Raced far too freely when finishing down the field in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Sligo last time; wears a hood for the first time; has plenty to find. Second in a point but 81-rated hurdler makes no appeal on chase bow against this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (7) (10/1 +9%)Sainte Tartare |
10/1(+9%) | (7) Sainte Tartare 10/1, Stable has won four of the last five renewals of this race; keen but ran to form and stayed on well when third, beaten 11l, in a 2m4f Mares' Novices' Hurdle (Listed) at Cheltenham last time; wears a tongue-tie for the first time; value pick on balance of form with promise of more to come over fences Should develop into a nice chaser this season and could be the main threat to the fav'. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) (100/1 -257%)Beauforts Storm |
100/1(-257%) | (6) Beauforts Storm 100/1, Pulled up in the Close Brothers Mares Novice Hurdle (Listed) over 2m at Punchestown last time; needs to find improvement on chase debut. Good course form which reads 212 but likely to fall short on her chase debut. |

Exciting chase recruit SALVATOR MUNDI debuts in a race in which his trainer has won five of the last six renewals. The five-year-old has finished well held at two Cheltenham Festivals, but is high-class at his best and his free-going style should suit two-mile chasing. The winner of a maiden hurdle by 62 lengths, he should again score by a wide margin if jumping soundly. Kappa Jy Pyke was outclassed twice at Grade 1 level last season, while another of the selection's stablemates - Sainte Tartare - was Listed-placed in April.

With a possible Arkle campaign ahead, SALVATOR MUNDI should have too much class for his opponents and can make a winning chase debut

1st (4) (8/11 +9%)Affordale Fury |
8/11(+9%) | (4) Affordale Fury 8/11, Improved up in trip when second, beaten 4l, in the BetVictor Champion Chase (Grade 1) over 3m at Down Royal last time. Effective between 2½m and 3m, best at 3m; progressing now his issues appear resolved. Back-to-back career-bests in defeat this term, latest a Gr 1 2nd and fitness on side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (10/3 -33%)Appreciate It |
10/3(-33%) | (1) Appreciate It 10/3, Winner of three Grade 1s; the yard has won two of the last five renewals. Ran second, beaten 5l, in the Oaksey Chase (Grade 2) over 2m7f at Sandown last time. Best at around 2½m on decent ground; a course winner with a class edge dropping in grade on return. 2m5f Gr 2 winner in January and back to form with Oaksey Chase 2nd when last seen. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (12/1 +70%)Senecia |
12/1(+70%) | (3) Senecia 12/1, Pulled up in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase (Grade 1) over 2m4f at Punchestown last time. Effective around 2½m and suited by some cut; inconsistent but capable at about Grade 3 level. Shock Navan Gr 2 winner last term; struggled since; pulled up in John Durkan on Sunday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (9/2 +0%)Classic Getaway |
9/2(+0%) | (2) Classic Getaway 9/2, From a yard successful in two of the last five runnings; below form when well held in the Oaksey Chase (Grade 2) over 2m7f at Sandown last time. Previously in good form; effective around 2½m and handles soft and good ground; won this in 2023 but unreliable since. 6l behind Appreciate It in Gr 2 here in January and behind him again in Oaksey Chase. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (125/1 -89%)Tullybeg |
125/1(-89%) | (6) Tullybeg 125/1, Disappointing on his chase return when well held in a handicap chase over 3m at Chepstow last time. Best at shorter than 3m and suited by good ground; jumping remains an issue over fences. Struggling over fences this season; tailed off at Chepstow last month; bought for £10,500. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (22/1 -38%)Salvador Ziggy |
22/1(-38%) | (5) Salvador Ziggy 22/1, Unseated in the Kerry National (Grade 3) over 3m at Listowel last time after a short break. Suited by 3m on decent ground; needs to prove his ability remains after an absence. Three chase wins as a novice in 2023 but has generally struggled since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

AFFORDALE FURY is a smart performer and has come back to his best this season. Runner-up at 150/1 in the 2023 Albert Bartlett, he missed 438 days prior to returning for only one run last term and, this season, has run two solid races. He chased home Envoi Allen at Grade 1 level at Down Royal and is the clear pick on today's adjusted ratings. Appreciate It, winner of the 2021 Supreme Novices' Hurdle, rolled back the years to beat stablemate Classic Getaway here in January. Age isn't on his side, but he might confirm that form and is Paul Townend's pick.

Getting weight from his main rivals, AFFORDALE FURY (nap) should go well dropped in class having taken his form to a new level of late

1st (16) (11/10 +56%)Rising Dust |
11/10(+56%) | (16) Rising Dust 11/10, Won by 1/2l off a mark of 101 over 2m7f at Punchestown two starts ago. Made too much use of and sustained an injury when sixth, beaten 43l, off 111 last time. The pick on overall form. Thwarted in hurdle hat-trick bid but had excuse and major player from reduced chase mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (16/1 -14%)Sammy Smart |
16/1(-14%) | (11) Sammy Smart 16/1, Below form after being made too much use of when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Punchestown last time. Had been in good form prior to that. Needs to find more. Well held over hurdles when last seen in April and entitled to need this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (11/1 -83%)Midnight Moonshine |
11/1(-83%) | (3) Midnight Moonshine 11/1, Ran to current form when fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap chase over 3m at Down Royal last time. Effective up to 3m and handles decent ground. Fairly treated on hurdle form. 0-7 over fences but knocking on the door in 3 runs since his maiden hurdle success. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/1 -57%)Dream In The Park |
11/1(-57%) | (1) Dream In The Park 11/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 15l, in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Galway behind a stablemate on his latest start. The trainer is in good form, and he looks effective between 2m2f and 3m. Well treated on UK form. Chase winner at Limerick in December; needs to step up on Galway 3rd last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (25/1 +24%)Jouster |
25/1(+24%) | (6) Jouster 25/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip when down the field in a handicap chase over 2m at Down Royal last time. Usually held up, and looks better suited to around 2m4f with some ease in the ground. Out of form in 2025. Won Tramore beginners' a year ago; hasn't kicked on and struggled in 3 runs for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (28/1 -75%)Hardy Diamond |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Hardy Diamond 28/1, Badly hampered early and unable to get competitive when down the field in a handicap chase over 3m at Downpatrick. The yard has won two of the last three renewals. Effective at 3m and prefers good ground, worth forgiving that run. At her best on quicker ground than what's likely; tailed off in 2 runs since Kilbeggan win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (16/1 +11%)Way Down South |
16/1(+11%) | (10) Way Down South 16/1, Below form when up in grade and down the field in a beginners chase here last time. Effective around 2m4f with some cut but may have been flattered by spring hurdle form. Maiden hurdle winner at Limerick in December; struggled since inc' 2 chase starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (22/1 -57%)Shantou Show |
22/1(-57%) | (5) Shantou Show 22/1, Had too much to do when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m7f at Galway last time. Effective around 2m6f and handles good ground. Possibly flattered by hunter chase form but worth trying at 3m. No wins since 2023 when winning two hunter chases; struggled in three runs for this yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (15/2 +38%)Plain Or Battered |
15/2(+38%) | (14) Plain Or Battered 15/2, Ran to form but tired late when third, beaten 8l, in a strongly run handicap chase over 3m at Punchestown on return from a break. Effective at 3m and suited by soft ground, though form has been in and out. Encouraging return to chasing 2 weeks ago and entitled to come on for that seasonal return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (17) (9/1 +55%)Lady Nightingale |
9/1(+55%) | (17) Lady Nightingale 9/1, Made too much use of when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Clonmel last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time after a short break and has plenty to find. Shown very little in four runs this season and tough ask on chase debut; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (10/1 0%)Patty O'farrell |
10/1(0%) | (9) Patty O'farrell 10/1, Ran to form up in grade when third, beaten 6 1/4l, in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Roscommon last time. Returning from a break and still has a bit to find. Steadily progressive over timber and latest 3rd working out; off 5 months and best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (14/1 -100%)Person Of Interest |
14/1(-100%) | (8) Person Of Interest 14/1, Up in trip and failed to stay on testing ground when fourth, beaten 23l, in a handicap chase over 3m at Fairyhouse latest. Effective around 2m4f but form of chase win looks weak and inconsistent overall. Promising chase/yard debut and wide-margin winner in August; not as good thrice since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (20/1 +0%)Rockstown Girl |
20/1(+0%) | (4) Rockstown Girl 20/1, Too free when stepped up in trip and failed to stay when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m5f at Cheltenham last time. Cheekpieces tried for the first time. Best around 2m4f and handles soft or good ground. Promise in a Cork novice before finding a Gr 2 beyond her; interesting now h'capping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (25/1 +38%)Ask Mike |
25/1(+38%) | (12) Ask Mike 25/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 3m at Punchestown on latest start. Blinkers tried for the first time. Effective around 2m4f and handles soft ground, though his mark may be high on hunter chase form. Point winner but 0-4 under rules and pulled up at Punchestown a fortnight ago; blinkers on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (40/1 -82%)Nephin Beg |
40/1(-82%) | (13) Nephin Beg 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase over 2m2f here on latest start. Effective around 2m4f but performances have been inconsistent. No wins since a hurdle success in 2022 and 0-9 over fences; pulled up both runs this term. |

RISING DUST has progressed well and reverts to fences from a favourable rating. A well-supported winner at both Listowel and Punchestown, he finished well beaten at Clonmel most recently but was possibly unsuited by testing ground. He often hits a flat spot and was well held on his most recent chases last year, but has a light weight and competes on a suitably sound surface. The reappearing Sammy Smart was down the field at the Punchestown Festival, but had previously shown form and is interesting on his handicap chase debut under a 5lb claimer, being rated 10lb higher over hurdles. Midnight Moonshine has been running consistently well.

This looks like a good opportunity for RISING DUST who operates from a reduced chase mark and has improved plenty over timber lately

1st (12) (5/6 +52%)Riskaway |
5/6(+52%) | (12) Riskaway 5/6, Ran to form when second, beaten a short-head, in a 2m bumper at Wexford. Consistent in that sphere; Trainer in form, and he looks the pick on overall form on hurdle debut. Placed in 2 points and has looked promising in bumpers; should appreciate this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (15) (11/1 -100%)Zeus Power |
11/1(-100%) | (15) Zeus Power 11/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 2l, in a 4yo bumper over 2m at Galway. Represents a top course trainer but needs to improve to feature. Placed in 2 Galway bumpers; not ruled out up in trip now hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (2/1 -45%)Arslan |
2/1(-45%) | (1) Arslan 2/1, Had an unclear run but showed a very promising debut when third, beaten 10l, in a 2m bumper at Fairyhouse. That form working out well. Returning from a long layoff and holds only a minor chance. 2nd in a point and 3rd in a bumper; bumper form worked out and further should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (33/1 +0%)Mojoe |
33/1(+0%) | (9) Mojoe 33/1, Showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Gowran Park. Effective at 2m and should progress slightly with experience. Encouraging bumper 4th on debut but hasn't kicked on twice since; new trip should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (25/1 -79%)Peaceinthevalley |
25/1(-79%) | (10) Peaceinthevalley 25/1, Outpaced and below debut form when well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Naas. Effective at 2¼m; step back up in trip could help. Failed to complete in two points and hasn't been competitive in three runs under rules. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (125/1 +17%)The Last Minute |
125/1(+17%) | (13) The Last Minute 125/1, Pulled up in a 3m novice event at Dromahane last time; faces a stiff task here. 1-10 in points; tailed off on sole start under rules and plenty to prove now hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (14) (150/1 -127%)Its Time For A Run |
150/1(-127%) | (14) Its Time For A Run 150/1, 14,000 euros breeze-up purchase by Crystal Ocean; half-brother to Champagne Fortune, who was moderate over 16f. Crystal Ocean gelding; cost 14,000eu as a 2yo; dam 2m6f chase winner; tough ask on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (11/2 -65%)Le Kap |
11/2(-65%) | (8) Le Kap 11/2, Improved from debut to finish third, beaten 5½l, in a Clonmel maiden hurdle. Effective up to 2½m; debut form has been franked and he's progressing. Shaped with promise in 2 runs so far and may come on for latest third. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (250/1 -25%)Gethegoodtimesroll |
250/1(-25%) | (4) Gethegoodtimesroll 250/1, Improved but never threatened when well beaten in a 2m maiden hurdle at Tramore. Effective from 2m to 2½m but yet to show much overall. Tailed off in a bumper on debut and shown very little since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (300/1 -50%)Quietrunsthedon |
300/1(-50%) | (11) Quietrunsthedon 300/1, Pulled up in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time. Returns from a long layoff and has everything to prove. Pulled up when 100-1 for his debut a year ago and not seen since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (200/1 +0%)Larkfield Liberty |
200/1(+0%) | (7) Larkfield Liberty 200/1, Outpaced and below debut form when down the field in a bumper at Listowel last time; returns from a short break with plenty more needed. Beaten a long way in two bumpers at big prices and best watched now hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (22/1 -57%)Kevlar |
22/1(-57%) | (6) Kevlar 22/1, Promising debut when comfortably held in a 2m1f maiden hurdle at Down Royal. Effective at 2m; debut form looks strong and should progress. Placed in 3 of 4 bumper starts and return at Down Royal wasn't devoid of encouragement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (3) (200/1 -33%)Desertmore Charm |
200/1(-33%) | (3) Desertmore Charm 200/1, Outpaced and poor on debut, finishing down the field in a 2m maiden hurdle here. Longer trip should suit but has plenty to prove over hurdles. Nothing in 2 runs so far inc' when tailed off here last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (5) (100/1 +0%)Goulane Mac Cloud |
100/1(+0%) | (5) Goulane Mac Cloud 100/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability and has it all to do. Pulled up in two point starts and hard to recommend on rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (2) (28/1 -12%)Better Times |
28/1(-12%) | (2) Better Times 28/1, Below form when fourth, beaten 38l, in a 2m2f bumper at Downpatrick last time; difficult to recommend on that showing. 2nd in a point; minor promise when 4th on rules debut; plenty to find on hurdle bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (16) (300/1 -100%)Bee Bright |
300/1(-100%) | (16) Bee Bright 300/1, Fell in a 2m5f maiden hurdle here last time and has been absent for a lengthy spell. Effective at around 2¾m but only of interest in low-grade handicaps. Struggled so far and beaten when coming down when last seen; off 632 days. |

ARSLAN showed nice ability in a smart bumper in February and will be ready for this reappearance. A rare jumper by top Flat sire Wootton Bassett, he was purchased for 180,000 euros following his debut in a Tralee point-to-point and although nicely held at Fairyhouse subsequently, that race is working out well. Riskaway has good recent form and finished fourth at the Punchestown Festival in May. He also has point-to-point experience and should compete. Le Kap ran well over hurdles at Clonmel recently, but is vulnerable to smart types.

Having gone close in a point, a step up in trip should help ARSLAN who finished 3rd in a Fairyhouse bumper and that form has worked out

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (1/1 +38%)Jasmine Pearl |
1/1(+38%) | (10) Jasmine Pearl 1/1, Made mistakes but showed promise on hurdle debut when beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden hurdle at Wexford; effective at 2m; debut form franked and should progress. Caught the eye when fifth of 14 at Wexford last month; that form has had a boost. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (14) (40/1 -100%)Miss Kingston |
40/1(-100%) | (14) Miss Kingston 40/1, Made mistakes but showed minor promise on debut when fourth beaten 20l in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park; effective at 2m and acts on heavy; could do with some rain. Showed more when a distant fourth; needs to come on for that first run in 6 months. |

25/1(-213%) | (6) Crohan Lady 25/1, Not clear run but ran to form when fourth, beaten 5l in a bumper over 2m3f at Kilbeggan latest; not out of it. 1-6 in points; shaped okay in 3 bumper starts but drop back in trip not certain to suit. |

28/1(-12%) | (13) Miss Georgina 28/1, Modest hurdle debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Listowel; effective at 2m and acts on good ground; could improve if ridden a little more positively. Showed more when a distant sixth on rules debut in a Limerick maiden hurdle; off 178 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (100/1 -203%)Victoria Kesia |
100/1(-203%) | (3) Victoria Kesia 100/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when beaten 8l in a handicap over 8f at The Curragh last time. Market can guide on stable debut. 1-14 on the Flat and out of form lately; best watched now switched to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (16/1 -129%)Gangster Granny |
16/1(-129%) | (2) Gangster Granny 16/1, Green and made mistakes but showed minor promise on debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle here; trainer in form; effective at 2m; multiple flat winner and interesting hurdles recruit. Dual Flat winner but was well held on last month's hurdle bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (66/1 -230%)Dancing Dame |
66/1(-230%) | (7) Dancing Dame 66/1, Yard won this last year; improved from debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park; effective at 2m and suited by cut; plenty of bumper experience but bit to prove over hurdles. Promise in bumpers but shown very little in three runs this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -100%)Frontier Rose |
40/1(-100%) | (9) Frontier Rose 40/1, Produced a modest effort down the field in a maiden hurdle at Navan last time; hood applied for the first time; more likely to make her mark in handicaps. Only minor promise in bumpers; probably needs further and has plenty to find; wears hood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

125/1(-279%) | (17) Del Boys Diva 125/1, Court Cave mare; half-sister to Huckleberry Rock, who was moderate at 21f. Court Cave mare; closely related to 2m5f hurdle winner Huckleberry Rock; reserve. |

11th (4) (300/1 -200%)Angels Halo |
300/1(-200%) | (4) Angels Halo 300/1, All but fell early and was never competitive when down the field in a maiden hurdle here; effective at 3m in points and acts on heavy; hard to fancy. Well held in three points and similar story in trio of runs over timber. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (18) (100/1 -52%)Leonards Choice |
100/1(-52%) | (18) Leonards Choice 100/1, Crystal Ocean filly; yard not known for debut winners; best watched. Crystal Ocean filly; dam bumper and 2m-2m4f hurdle winner; likely to need this; reserve. |

|PU| (12) (66/1 -100%)Lucy Alpine Jade |
66/1(-100%) | (12) Lucy Alpine Jade 66/1, Made mistakes and showed modest form when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Naas on only start; effective at 2m and should improve for the experience. Tailed off when 28-1 for a maiden hurdle at Naas in April; off 238 days and best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (100/1 -100%)Dictionary Corner |
100/1(-100%) | (8) Dictionary Corner 100/1, Refused to race in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest; all to prove. Refused and unseated at the first when 50-1 for a Limerick maiden hurdle last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (250/1 -150%)Lost Features |
250/1(-150%) | (11) Lost Features 250/1, Modest bumper debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper at Naas latest; usually held up; effective at 2m; returns to bumpers after two modest hurdle runs. Tailed off in three runs so far and best watched for now. |

This looks like a nice opportunity for MUSIC OF LIFE to get her head in front. The Walk In The Park mare has been runner-up three times over timber, including twice in handicap company. Her mark of 102 is probably good enough to land a race of this standard. Daboya has to give the selection a nice bit of weight, having won on the Flat. She was fourth in a strong mares' maiden hurdle at Listowel and has to be respected, despite carrying her penalty. Crohan Lady had some nice runs in bumpers and won a point-to-point. She's another for the shortlist on her hurdling debut.

4yo filly DABOYA showed much more when fourth at Limerick in September and that form is working out

1st (11) (1/6 +0%)Le Divin Enfant |
1/6(+0%) | (11) Le Divin Enfant 1/6, Yard has won four of the last ten renewals; promising effort when 10l fourth in a juvenile hurdle over 2m2f at Auteuil on debut; off a long absence but handles soft ground; French form sets the standard and he looks a likely type for this yard. Brother to Imperial Saint; fourth to Lulamba at Auteuil last year; interesting runner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (9/1 +36%)Glenrush Bay |
9/1(+36%) | (10) Glenrush Bay 9/1, Showed improvement from debut but was comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; may prove better suited to handicaps. Well held in Gowran maiden hurdle; remote sixth at Cork on Sunday; may need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (12/1 -33%)Moon Mission |
12/1(-33%) | (13) Moon Mission 12/1, Modest debut effort when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective at 2m and consistent in bumpers, but must step up on that first hurdle run. Fair bumper third at Tramore last month; no threat on hurdle debut but could improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/1 -40%)Maxwell Smart |
7/1(-40%) | (2) Maxwell Smart 7/1, Improved from his debut when third, beaten 9 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal last time; effective at 2m, handles soft and good ground, and his recent form has been franked at Graded level. Only a neck behind subsequent Grade 3 winner Kalypso'chance on latest; could have big say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (50/1 +24%)Daymer Bay |
50/1(+24%) | (5) Daymer Bay 50/1, Poor hurdle debut when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown last time; effective at 2m and has fair flat form at a low level, but stamina remains a concern. 25-race maiden on the Flat; tailed off on hurdles debut at Punchestown a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (40/1 -100%)Fairlander |
40/1(-100%) | (7) Fairlander 40/1, Improved from debut though down the field in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; effective over 2-2 1/2m and may need a bit further in time. Third in a point; not a bad run at Wexford; poor at Gowran; may do better in handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (100/1 +33%)Colin's Friend |
100/1(+33%) | (4) Colin's Friend 100/1, Showed little on bumper debut when well beaten at Navan; returns from a long layoff and has plenty to find. Big price when tailed off on debut at Navan; can be left out of calculations. |

8th (15) (250/1 -67%)Lizzymac |
250/1(-67%) | (15) Lizzymac 250/1, Showed little on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown; has everything to prove. Promising pedigree but 19,000euros yearling weakened badly at Punchestown a fortnight ago. |

200/1(-33%) | (12) Monkeyforajuice 200/1, Again well held when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; yet to find suitable conditions and may need further. Poor efforts in maiden hurdles at Galway and Gowran; readily opposed on this occasion. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (80/1 +47%)Eye Contact |
80/1(+47%) | (6) Eye Contact 80/1, Disappointing on handicap debut when well beaten over 12f at Bellewstown last time; returns from a short break and has plenty to prove. Shown very little in four runs on the Flat, including in a Bellewstown handicap on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (250/1 -150%)Glengarriff |
250/1(-150%) | (9) Glengarriff 250/1, Slowly away and failed to stay when down the field in a handicap over 8f at Leopardstown last time; wears a hood for the first time and has a stiff task. Some ability on the Flat in 2023 season for Willie Browne but had lengthy layoffs since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (17) (80/1 -21%)Wings Of Africa |
80/1(-21%) | (17) Wings Of Africa 80/1, Wings Of Eagles filly; likely to need more time. Dam out of point-winning half-sister to Irish Grand National winner Our Duke; watch market. |

15th (1) (100/1 +0%)Liamo |
100/1(+0%) | (1) Liamo 100/1, May not have stayed when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; effective over 7-8f and showed flat form, but has everything to prove over hurdles. Consistent Flat horse at a modest level but completely tailed off on hurdle debut at Cork. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (3) (12/1 +64%)Boxing Clever |
12/1(+64%) | (3) Boxing Clever 12/1, 5,500 euros Shirocco gelding; wears a hood for the first time; yard not known for debut winners; best watched. Son of Shirocco cost 5,500euros; nice pedigree on dam side; gelded; hooded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (8) (150/1 0%)Frankie's First |
150/1(0%) | (8) Frankie's First 150/1, Too green to show anything on debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Limerick; has everything to prove. Jumped badly when completely tailed off on debut at Limerick last month; oppose. |

French import LE DIVIN ENFANT can make a successful start for Willie Mullins. The Saint Des Saints gelding was fourth to Grade 1 winner Lulamba on his sole outing over hurdles in his native land and this looks a nice spot to make an impression on his Irish debut. Maxwell Smart ran a solid enough race to finish third at Down Royal at the start of the month and might be the one to give him most to do here. Glenrush Bay showed some promise when sixth at Cork just four days ago and could figure in a race where there doesn't appear to be a lot of strength in depth.

With race fitness on his side and the form of his recent third at Down Royal working out, perhaps MAXWELL SMART is the play

1st (13) (5/1 +23%)Theanniversary Man |
5/1(+23%) | (13) Theanniversary Man 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Clonmel last time; off a short break and remains a modest maiden over 2m to 2 1/2m. Sixth of 16 on debut for this yard in Clonmel novice handicap; more needed but a player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (7/1 +22%)Hidalgo Des Mottes |
7/1(+22%) | (9) Hidalgo Des Mottes 7/1, Had every chance but was a bit below form when fourth, beaten 13l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Cork last time; best around 2 1/2m on good ground and has dropped in the weights but remains in moderate form. 19-race maiden over hurdles but good fourth latest and the form has been boosted; chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (8/1 -7%)Gino Bella |
8/1(-7%) | (4) Gino Bella 8/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Cork last time when returning from a long layoff; effective from 2m to 2 1/4m and likely to improve for the reappearance run. Easily won Dromahane point on final run for Barry Fitzgerald this month; fair mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (7/4 +42%)Cowper Hall |
7/4(+42%) | (3) Cowper Hall 7/4, Ran to form when second, beaten 4 1/4l by a well-handicapped rival in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time; effective at 2m and acts on heavy and good ground; in form and another good run looks likely. Two good runner-up finishes lately; mark keeps creeping up but should go well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (50/1 +24%)Esticky End |
50/1(+24%) | (12) Esticky End 50/1, Refused to race in a handicap hurdle here last time and has been regressive in both codes. Five-time winner on the Flat but has been badly out of form; refused to race here latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (18/1 -64%)Teenage Kiss |
18/1(-64%) | (2) Teenage Kiss 18/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Limerick last time; cheekpieces go on for the first time. Effective over 2 1/2m on good ground and still early in her career, so could bounce back on a sounder surface. Soft ground possibly to blame when pulled up at Limerick; still early days; cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (14/1 +13%)Jake Peter |
14/1(+13%) | (1) Jake Peter 14/1, Below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time; effective at 2m and acts on any ground but has been inconsistent this year. Hasn't looked like taking advantage of sliding mark recently but this is a drop in grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (14/1 +58%)Uncle Gerhard |
14/1(+58%) | (8) Uncle Gerhard 14/1, Needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Roscommon most recently; usually held up and back from a short break; effective at 2m on soft or good ground but inconsistent. Never a factor after close to two-year absence at Roscommon in September. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (33/1 -65%)Kilt |
33/1(-65%) | (6) Kilt 33/1, Far too free and did too much too soon when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; 1m flat winner in the UK, suited by a sound surface and gets 2m over hurdles; consistent but best suited to low-grade handicaps. Looked more likely a handicap prospect on the evidence of 4 maiden outings; market noted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (15) (20/1 -67%)Diamond Dollar |
20/1(-67%) | (15) Diamond Dollar 20/1, Probably needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Down Royal most recently; returning from a long layoff, effective at 2m but yet to prove up to this mark. 0-9 over timber; best watched unless money comes; absence; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (14/1 +22%)Romella |
14/1(+22%) | (7) Romella 14/1, Won by 10l off 85 at Tipperary in October but produced another poor chase run when seventh, beaten 25l off 73 last time; effective at 2m on good ground but inconsistent. Five-time hurdles winner on decent ground, including over C&D a year ago; of interest here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (5/1 +44%)Boston Bobby |
5/1(+44%) | (10) Boston Bobby 5/1, Departed just as the race was developing, usually held up; effective at 2m and suited by decent ground but has been in moderate form this year. Making ground when brought down here four weeks ago; Darragh O'Keeffe rides. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (66/1 -200%)Timurshah |
66/1(-200%) | (5) Timurshah 66/1, Improved on his final qualifying run but was comfortably held in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Kilbeggan last time; back from a short break, effective at 2 1/2m on good ground, but his opening mark asks for more. Some Flat ability; 3 maiden hurdle runs with little to note; watch betting; handicap bow. |

COWPER HALL has been knocking on the door and can make the breakthrough. The five-year-old has been placed on his three starts since joining Gavin Cromwell, most recently when chasing home St Denis's Well in a competitive event at Navan 11 days ago. He got a 4lb rise for that effort, but this looks like a slightly easier task. King Bob showed improvement when third on his second handicap outing at Tramore and could be a danger off a low weight. Gino Bella returns to the track after a point-to-point win and is another to note.

11yo ROMELLA is a C&D winner and will enjoy conditions. She had excuses for her latest two starts and will be a threat back hurdling

1st (5) (6/1 -9%)Harry's Dream |
6/1(-9%) | (5) Harry's Dream 6/1, From a yard that has won two of the last ten runnings; ran to form but was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Gowran Park last time; effective at 2m and prefers some give in the ground; could be running into form. One of two for yard; maiden whose best runs have come at Gowran; needs to find more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/5 +27%)Freddie Robdal |
11/5(+27%) | (4) Freddie Robdal 11/5, Travelled strongly and ran to form when just out-battled late, beaten a short head off 93 here last time; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on good ground; well treated on chase form and best played late. Denied by a short head over C&D last week; should make amends from unchanged mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (7/1 +56%)Willywampus |
7/1(+56%) | (6) Willywampus 7/1, Made too much use of when comfortably held in a handicap chase over 2m2f here last time; fair mark on chase form; interesting at a price. Front-runner is out of form over fences this year and reverts to timber; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/4 +8%)San Aer |
11/4(+8%) | (1) San Aer 11/4, Ran to form when beaten 1/2l off a mark of 76 over 8f at Galway last time; in good form in both codes and handicapper has relented; could do better. 4 wins on the Flat for Tom Mullins; 4th off this mark at Ballinrobe in August; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (25/1 -317%)Opposite Ends |
25/1(-317%) | (7) Opposite Ends 25/1, Yard won this last year; below form when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time after a long absence; effective at 2m on good ground but yet to show much or prove up to this mark. Shrewd yard have found a nice race for him on handicap bow but lengthy absence to overcome. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (16/1 +27%)Light Her Up |
16/1(+27%) | (11) Light Her Up 16/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when fourth, beaten 55l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m7f at Down Royal latest; effective at 2m but yet to match bumper form or prove up to this mark. Last of the finishers at Down Royal last month; needs to up her game on handicap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (25/1 +38%)Dark Berkshire |
25/1(+38%) | (10) Dark Berkshire 25/1, Too keen when stepped up in trip and failed to stay, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Clonmel last time; showed little in maidens around 2m and has yet to prove up to this mark. Beaten huge distances in four maiden starts and no better on handicap bow at Clonmel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (12/1 -33%)Qaasid |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Qaasid 12/1, Disappointing flat return when down the field in a handicap over 12f at Galway most recently; returning from a break and has a bit to find. Off a very lenient mark judged on his Flat rating so can't be discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (40/1 -43%)Loulouless |
40/1(-43%) | (9) Loulouless 40/1, Made mistakes and never threatened when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; effective at 2m; yet to build on a promising debut but may do better over further in time. Tailed off on return at Cork; market will reveal expectations on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (14/1 +58%)Bid Up |
14/1(+58%) | (3) Bid Up 14/1, Never threatened when down the field in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; may be best with cut but has shown inconsistency in a short hurdles career. Modest Flat maiden has been well beaten in three starts for this yard; needs a revival.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (18/1 -13%)Drumcliff Bay |
18/1(-13%) | (8) Drumcliff Bay 18/1, Never threatened but was ridden to see out the trip when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Ballinrobe latest; returning from a break; effective around 2 1/2m but must prove ability remains after a long layoff. Jumping issues evident when well beaten on Ballinrobe handicap hurdle debut; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (22/1 +12%)Maralinga |
22/1(+12%) | (12) Maralinga 22/1, Found no obvious excuse when down the field in a handicap hurdle here last time; acts on good and yielding to soft ground but looks on a stiff mark. Modest hurdles form, well beaten over C&D on his last two outings; difficult to recommend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (13) (40/1 -60%)Give Her Hollie |
40/1(-60%) | (13) Give Her Hollie 40/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Kilbeggan last time; out of form in both codes. No sign of improvement in handicaps at Down Royal and Kilbeggan; will need more time. |

FREDDIE ROBDAL was just denied here a week ago and may be able to gain compensation off the same mark. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding just failed by a short head to peg back Hillstar Blues, with the front two pulling a few lengths clear. He is 4lb well-in compared to future handicap hurdles. San Aer also comes into this off the back of a good runner-up effort, on the Flat at Galway. He is on a competitive mark over timber and could be the danger. Harry's Dream ran a solid enough race when fifth at Gowran and may be place material.

This race lacks depth and it will be disappointing if FREDDIE ROBDAL can't go one better after an agonising defeat over C&D last week

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.
