ROSEY'S HOLLOW's last win was in a Grade 3 novice hurdle in February 2021 but can put her chase experience to good use. She failed to build on early promise but comes here fit and well and can be counted upon to run a solid race, again ridden by her 7lb claimer. Chase debutante Finest Evermore won from a rating of 137 over hurdles when last seen in August and will be ready and well schooled for her reappearance. However, aside from an ordinary 2020 bumper win, her form is over longer distances. Return To Base is fit and well but faces a tough task while Thecornerhouse is a useful handicap hurdler but debuts over fences in a smart maiden.

FINEST EVERMORE produced a fine weight-carrying performance when landing a Killarney handicap hurdle on her latest start last August and, provided her jumping passes the test on this chase debut, she will take plenty of stopping. Roseys Hollow is the clear pick for forecast purposes, while Return To Base could be in line for third-place prizemoney.

Finest Evermore knows how to get the job done and will be hard to deny but the experience of ROSEYS HOLLOW will count for plenty

CAYD BOY has been beaten in six chases and was pulled up in March but drops in grade. Rated 139 at his peak over hurdles and beaten by Impervious on chase debut, most of his form is on testing ground but has run well on a sound surface, and is suited by this distance. I A Connect was well beaten on Kilbeggan chase debut but has a race-fitness edge and ran well over hurdles at Wexford. However he might struggle to beat an on-song selection. Walnut Beach was rated in the 120s over hurdles but ran well on Wexford chase debut last month and is well suited by this trip and is ground-versatile. Ex-UK Galore Dessences ran well rated 138 over hurdles on Irish debut in April but his form has been hit-and-miss in recent years. He was pulled up and well beaten (at Wexford in May) on his two chase runs to date.

I AM CONNECT made a low-key chase debut at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago but he's surely capable of much better given his hurdles ability and with cheekpieces likely to sharpen him up, he could be worth chancing. Cayd Boy is a massive threat if over whatever ailed him when last seen, with Walnut Beach likely to be on the premises, too.

With the form of his Wexford 3rd working out well, GALORE DESASSENCES(nap) should be a tough nut to crack if he jumps little better

BUTTERFLYVESPIERE could be well handicapped. Placed over hurdles at the 2021 Galway festival before winning at Listowel, she returned from 529 days off this year and while initially well beaten on soft ground, ran well recently at Tramore. That winner was a 134-rated hurdler and the selection has a favourable chase rating, which is 3lb lower than her hurdles' mark. Course winner Good As Hell was most unfortunate at Wexford but is 4lb higher today, without her then rider's 4lb claim and notably steps up in grade. The Dara Man is fit and well but is himself 2lb higher than when finishing second at Kilbeggan, when his rider claimed 5lb. Kildorrery isn't ahead of the handicapper while course winner The Banger Doyle was well held at Wexford and concedes plenty weight. Jack Holiday is a dual course winner while Mica Malpic would prefer further.

BUTTERFLYVESPIERE matched the pick of her hurdles form when second at Tramore a month ago and the assessor has taken a big chance with her mark. Good A Hell would have won had she negotiated the last fence at Wexford and is feared most, ahead of The Dara Man.

Dual course winner GOOD AS HELL was set to win well at Wexford last time when coming down at the last. She can make amends today.

MIDNIGHT IT IS is interesting on handicap chase debut rated 104, and was rated 121 over hurdles last year. He returned from a 369-days layoff when beaten 76 lengths in May but is sure to improve from that run and drops to a low enough level on handicap chase debut, with good ground and a staying distance in his favour. King Ferdinand won a course May hurdle on his most recent start and is also ideally suited by staying distances and good ground. He has won and finished second from just five runs over fences and is rated 3lb lower in this sphere than over hurdles, but nonetheless meets a lesser-exposed selection. Lake Chad has been running well but isn't ahead of the handicapper while Sean Says, Room To Roam, Rebel Waltz, Where's Bunny and Meehall (running in a first-time tongue-tie) are able types at this level.

A chance is taken on MIDNIGHT IT IS who looks to have been campaigned over fences with handicaps in mind and has a lenient mark judged on his hurdle ability. Rebel Waltz, King Ferdinand and Meehall head the many possible dangers.

Ultra tricky stuff to solve and it could be worth an each-way play, with ESTHERS MARVEL on the back of a nice sharperner over hurdles

LOOK DONT TOUCH seems much better than his current 19-race-maiden status and beat today's contenders Gali Flight and Some Dove in a similar race in May. The selection ran well but unsuccessfully in nine handicap hurdles (competing near today's ceiling 109 hurdle-rating) and a reproduction of his Limerick run would give him every chance, with Gali Flight having seven lengths to find. Some Dove disappointed in that race and while she improved at Downpatrick, needs to maintain progression to win. Inclusion is suited by this distance and good ground and while she might improve from her recent Wexford reappearance, nonetheless carried a light weight then, raced too keenly and was well held. Cheekpieces are applied to Cregane Ned whose best form is on testing ground.

INCLUSION pulled too hard on her recent return to action at Wexford but hopefully that will have knocked some of the freshness out of her and she should have more to offer for her top stable if settling better. Some Dove, another from a leading yard, wasn't far off the pick of her hurdle form when second at Downpatrick last month and looks the chief threat ahead of Look Dont Touch.

Likely to improve from her recent seasonal debut at Wexford, INCLUSION can get off the mark over fences on her third start.

TOO BRIGHT has done alright over fences and is suited by this distance and good ground. Flat-bred, he was no star in that code or over hurdles but has shown more over fences, beating a subsequent winner at Kilbeggan on June 4 and ran well in a useful handicap at that venue recently. Desert Friend won on his second chase run at Clonmel but this is tougher. Another recent Clonmel winner Mr Saxobeat steps up in grade but is suited by conditions while Railway Hurricane was rated 131 over hurdles last year and while receiving 4lb, is a thoroughly frustrating 20-race chase maiden. Sphagnum showed progression when winning at Downpatrick but steps up in grade. Hamundarson returned this year but needs to show more in first time cheekpieces. Chase debutante Dovlator has point-to-pointing experience but was well held at Wexford.

There should be more to come from DESERT FRIEND on the back of his smooth Clonmel maiden success and he could prove the answer to this rated novice. Mr Saxobeat and Sphagnum also arrive on the back of maiden chase wins last month and might give Denis Hogan's charge most to do.

The former Galway festival bumper winner MR SAXOBEAT was no great shakes over h'dls but he looks a much better chaser and is preferred

SEARCH FOR A MYTH won over hurdles in May and reverts, on her second attempt, to fences rated 7lb lower. She finished 17 lengths behind the winner when ridden from off the pace on Killarney chase debut last October and having shown good form at Wexford recently, has obvious claims on suitable good ground. Ask The Leader ran well on chase debut at Downpatrick in May and having since run well over hurdles, should get involved. Good World is an able three-time winning hurdler who should compete on handicap chase debut. Clever Currency was left in second when well held at Wexford recently.

It could just be worth siding with SEARCH FOR A MYTH. She showed improved form to ultimately win with a bit to spare on return over hurdles 5 weeks ago and a 3 lb higher mark back over larger obstacles shouldn't prevent a bold bid with further progress in the offing. Ask The Leader rates a chief threat for David Christie now handicapping in this sphere. Clever Currency may do best of the remainder.

Having got off the mark over hurdles at Wexford on return, SEARCH FOR A MYTH can score off a 7lb lower mark in this sphere.

THE EYE OF TULLA has won just once from 17 attempts but has been running consistently well recently. Ground-versatile but with a probable preference for good ground, a reproduction of either of his last two runs, over varying distances, would see him involved at the business end. Movie King parachuted in to win a recent hurdle over today's distance at Down Royal under today's 7lb claiming amateur. He competes from a rating of just 89 today but was well beaten on his sole previous chase run and lacks experience. Dreamsrmadeofthis was well held at Clonmel last month but had previously run well behind the selection at Limerick. Crowsatedappletart might not have been himself behind the selection in that Limerick race but is rated 10lb lower in this sphere than over hurdles and runs in first-time cheekpieces. Point-to-point winner Lesssaidthebetter is a 30-race maiden.

TULLYHOGUE FORT needs to shrug off a lesser effort over hurdles, yet he'd previously gone well from his lower chase mark when runner-up at Limerick in May and he could just be worth chancing to get back on track. Recent hurdles winner Movie King, in-form The Eye of Tulla and Don't Talk head up the dangers.

A model of consistency lately, THE EYE OF TULLA could notch another win down in trip after being outstayed over 3m last time.

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.
