Class & Speed Card

Seven-time winner DARKENED has been running well on the Flat at Dundalk and has a manageable weight in an ordinary claimer on his return to hurdling. Three of his wins have come on good or yielding ground and he ran well enough over timber at Down Royal over Christmas. Routine Excellence is a four-time winner whose previous success last August came in a similar claimer. His form tailed off late last year, but he ran well over fences at Leopardstown last month and should give the selection a race. Lakota Blue has shown bits of useful form, but was well held on his latest starts.

DARKENED is preferred. He's been in good form on the Flat, he has run well here in the past and he won't mind what the weather does.

PROVE YOURSELF finished 64 lengths behind the winner at Navan last month, but had previously shown nice ability and now contests a weak-looking race. His four bumper runs were useful efforts and while he dropped away on his reappearance, he is much better than that and a return to a sounder surface should also help. The locally-trained The Store Boy and Penny Express represent top yards but bid to break their ducks, on debut, at a somewhat discouraging time of year.

It might pay to side with the locally-trained debutant THE STORE BOY. He's nicely bred and his yard can ready one first time up
Class & Speed Card

Recent Limerick third NUSRA can make the breakthrough over hurdles. A three-time winner on the Flat, the eight-year-old mare has only had the six career runs over flights to date. With her best effort coming last time, she appears to be going the right way and although dropping back in trip is far from ideal given that she is a stayer on the level, this looks a modest contest. C&D winner Itsalonglongroad has been a great servant to connections over the last couple of years. The Charles Coakley-trained veteran is 10lb higher over fences, so has to have leading claims. Hitthehayson is a potential improver.

HITTHEHAYSON is a tentative selection. He showed a bit more spark in his second h'cap at Clonmel and this drop back in trip should suit
Class & Speed Card

BOSSOFTHEBUS is given another chance to build on the promise of his Clonmel success. On just his second start for Terence O'Brien, he made all the running to win comfortably. Unable to back that up on his return to the same track next time, he had excuses on his most recent visit to the Tipperary venue. While the jury is out on the six-year-old at this stage, it is far too soon to write him off and this tight track should really suit his prominent style of racing. Downpatrick runner-up Our Zebo has to be a contender, although he may prefer more of a stamina test. I See Fog could run into the frame.

Letters To Juliet and C&D scorer Stumblin In won over the weekend but OUR ZEBO returned to form at Downpatrick and is chosen

While it is hard to be confident about a horse who has yet to win from 20 starts over fences, this could be the day CAESAR ROCK gets his head in front. A consistent gelding who has been placed in almost half of those races, the Mouse Morris-trained nine-year-old can put his experience to good use in this ordinary contest. With an official rating of 121 over fences, he is certainly good enough to win one of these. Beggars Rock looks the main threat for the Declan Queally yard. Third at Thurles on his second start over fences, the six-year-old was brought down back over hurdles last time. Seskin Flash can get involved if taking to chasing.

Having run well in similar contests over this trip on both chase starts, BEGGARS ROCK gets the vote to land this for Declan Queally
Class & Speed Card

WYOMING BABY won a point-to-point at Dromahane last year and after showing little over hurdles, put in a much-improved effort when switched to fences at Limerick last month. The Robert Tyner-trained mare only weakened in the closing stages when third to Maciver over an extended 2m6f and this slightly shorter trip should be in her favour. Gold Haven filled the runner-up spot twice over C&D last year including this corresponding race, while Game And Glory won here over hurdles but also needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort last time. Coco Lightning and Roman Parish are others to consider.

A promising third to the in-form Maciver on chase debut in a Limerick handicap, WYOMING BABY (nap) can take a step forward from that
Class & Speed Card

GALE FORCE JET has won three times between the flags and had Haggard 12 lengths behind in second when recording an impressive win at Monksgrange last month. Last Round won a point-to-point at Tinahely in January and has been placed twice since in hunter chases. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding had Ta Se Rua nearly four lengths behind at Thurles and may be suited by this shorter trip after again taking third spot at Downpatrick. Cold Old Fire has won two point-to-points this year but was left to come home alone at Knockanohill last time.

LAST ROUND has shown his best form on soft ground. He has strong form claims and with rain forecast, he will probably be hard to beat

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.
