Dual point-to-point winner BOLD FURY should be capable of opening his account at the sixth time of asking under Rules. He ran a very encouraging race on his first start over hurdles when only headed after the last and although that Roscommon form has taken a knock since, Stuart Crawford's charge should have enough here under regular rider Thomas Kileff. Migdam should improve from his hurdles debut when fifth at Bellewstown, making smooth progress after the second-last and staying on to be closest at the finish. Cosmos D'ainay will have to leave behind his first start over hurdles if he is to figure, but he shouldn't be discounted.

Bold Fury sets the standard on hurdles form, but it may pay to keep the faith with COSMOS D'AINAY, whose bumper form is the best

MAY CALL YOU BACK has recently been mixing chasing and hurdling and has managed to register three wins from five starts since joining Willie Mullins. She is now 10lb higher than for her last chase success, which may leave her slightly vulnerable, but she is a proven winner in an open contest. Surviving Murmansk is a 39-race maiden under both codes, but his recent Kilbeggan second was encouraging and, under a light weight with Harry Sexton's 7lb claim, he should be there in the latter stages. Market support for Eastmore or Arthur's Victory would be of major interest coming from shrewd yards.

Not many appeal here. The safest choice appears to be MAY CALL YOU BACK, who has prospered since joining Willie Mullins and

FULL OF LIFE should be able to open her account over hurdles at the fifth time of asking for Henry de Bromhead. She was purchased by Roger Kissane for 70,000 pounds after winning a Borris House point-to-point, but she has failed so far to score under Rules. The Great Pretender mare would have a good chance here on her early starts, but her latest performance will have to be forgiven. The Monkey Pole performed incredibly well on his Rules debut when a staying-on second at 50-1 and he can improve from that outing. Courtbrack Boy is noted too.

Full Of Life has posted the highest RPR but lacks a recent run and is opposed by THE MONKEY POLE, who shaped really well at Wexford

WORLD OF FORTUNES was the pick of these over hurdles and may prove difficult to beat if taking to the larger obstacles. The Liam Kenny-trained mare won twice at Listed level last season, including over 3m at Doncaster. Point-to-point winner Cobra Queen scored twice over hurdles, including over this trip at Ballinrobe last autumn, and had Costanuci over three lengths behind when just denied in a mares' beginners chase over an extended 2m3f at Tipperary. Littlebiggie holds Costanuci and Gers Gigi on running behind Ma Belle Etoile at Wexford.

As a Listed hurdles winner, WORLD OF FORTUNES (nap) should be too strong for these rivals if making an error-free transition to chasing

THE DASHER CONWAY is a course winner and reached a career-high rating of 133 last year having won over 2m4f at Kilbeggan, along with a number of placed efforts. He has dropped back down to an attractive mark and given some encouragement on his latest couple of starts. Gabriel Ranger won at Killarney on his latest chase appearance, while others to consider include Tullyveery Lad and Wine An Dine. Lake Chad has won three times here over fences, including this race last year off a mark of 97, and gained his latest success at Thurles in February.

Though slightly disappointing in a Galway race in which he was second last season, THE DASHER CONWAY gets the vote in this lower grade

ITSALONGLONGROAD returns to his favourite track having won four times at this venue. He beat all bar Clarens on his latest chase start here in May and has also been placed here since on the Flat. Point-to-point winner Lady Rose Hackett has made the frame a couple of times over hurdles and is an interesting recruit to fences, while Mist On The Bog is another to consider.

Point winner LADY ROSE HACKETT may show the benefit of a hurdles run at Kilbeggan to score on her first attempt over fences

LA CONFINER represents the champion trainer and it will be interesting to see how strong she is in the market on debut. The daughter of No Risk At All, out of a winner on the Flat in France, cost 34,000 euros as a three-year-old at Goffs. Run For Mahler looks the chief threat having shown some promise at Roscommon in a bumper that has thrown up a couple of subsequent winners, before filling the runner-up spot at Sligo earlier this month. Something Fabulous went close on her only point-to-point start and had Sing My Story behind when finishing in mid-division on her debut under Rules at Galway.

The standard among those with form is not particularly intimidating and LA CONFINER may be equal to the task on his debut

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.
