1	4 1st (4) (4/1 +11%) Glen Kiln		4 4/1(+11%)																															(4) Glen Kiln 4/1, Outpaced and no match for the winner, but ran to form when second beaten 8 1/2l in a conditions hurdle at Punchestown last time. Enjoys making it and is effective at 2m to 2 1/2m. Progressive and has fitness edge on main rivals. Better than ever this season; seems sure to run another solid race.
2	5 2nd (5) (1/1 +56%) Karbau		1 1/1(+56%)																															(5) Karbau 1/1, Yard has won this race the last three years. He ran to form when beaten 12l into third in the Grade 1 Champion Novice Hurdle at Punchestown. Effective at 2m and best with cut, he is a big player down in class if fit. Grade 1-placed novice last season; seasonal return and best form puts him right in the mix.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -82%) Farren Glory		10 10/1(-82%)																															(3) Farren Glory 10/1, Outpaced and poorly placed off a steady pace but ridden to see out the trip when an improved 13l third in the Grade 2 Boyne Hurdle at Navan. Returning from a long layoff, he is effective from 2m to 2m5f and generally consistent. Fair claims if fit and ready to go. Former Royal Bond winner escapes a penalty on seasonal return; respected.
4	7 4th (7) (9/2 -35%) Workahead		4.5 9/2(-35%)																															(7) Workahead 9/2, Stopped very quickly when early up in grade, a run too bad to be true given previous form, when finishing well down the field in the Grade 1 Supreme Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham. Effective at 2m, his maiden form has been franked and there may be more to come. Absent since far too keen at Cheltenham last March; strong maiden form so respected.
5th	6 5th (6) (6/1 -9%) Kel Histoire		6 6/1(-9%)																															(6) Kel Histoire 6/1, From a yard that has won this race the last three times, he was outpaced mid-race and probably wanted it softer when well beaten in the Grade 1 Turners Novice Hurdle at Cheltenham. Effective at 2m, he is unexposed and a player if fit. Turners also ran when last seen; bit to prove but remains relatively unexposed.
6th	2 6th (2) (200/1 -60%) Bring On The Night		200 200/1(-60%)																															(2) Bring On The Night 200/1, Needed the run when well beaten in a conditions hurdle at Punchestown on his latest start. Effective at 2m, but he needs to show that his ability remains following a lengthy layoff. Decent on his day for Willie Mullins; recent yard debut after long absence raises doubts.
7th	8 7th (8) (250/1 -25%) Cola Blaze		250 250/1(-25%)																															(8) Cola Blaze 250/1, Outpaced on a modest debut and looked in need of a stiffer test when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at 2m, she may need further and looks out of her depth in this company. Tailed off on hurdles debut in Fairyhouse maiden 10 days ago; looks well out of her depth.

KARBAU gets the vote in a competitive renewal of this Grade 3. The facile Punchestown maiden winner was third twice at Grade 1 level last year and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the betting ahead of his comeback. Workahead is obviously not the easiest to train but did impress in a Leopardstown maiden last term, while Farren Glory was a Grade 1-winning novice hurdler but didn't reach the same heights over fences and has been absent for nearly a year. Glen Kiln represents connections who would love to win this race and he's continued to progress. Bacchanalian won three times last year, including a Grade 3 here, but needs to bounce back after disappointing on his reappearance at Fairyhouse.

Absent since bombing out in the Supreme Novices', WORKAHEAD\ can fulfil earlier promise on his seasonal return

1	2 1st (2) (11/2 -38%) Largy Train		5.5 11/2(-38%)																															(2) Largy Train 11/2, Ran to form when benefiting from reappearance, finishing a 15l third in a handicap chase here on his latest run. Enjoys making it, is effective around 2 1/2m, and remains consistent with a fair mark. His form at Sedgefield this season has received a few boosts; enters calculations.
2	5 2nd (5) (6/4 +67%) Huit Reflets		1.5 6/4(+67%)																															(5) Huit Reflets 6/4, Scored by 5 1/2l off a 6lb lower mark here on his penultimate start. Ran to form when third, beaten 5l off 89 last time, possibly outstayed, and remains an obvious chance. Currently in a consistent vein of form; scored at Sedgefield on penultimate start.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 -122%) Rehill Relic		3.333333 10/3(-122%)																															(1) Rehill Relic 10/3, Travelled and idled when landing a handicap by 2l off a 4lb lower mark at Huntingdon last time, a performance worth more than the winning margin. Effective at 2m to 2 1/2m and improving over fences. Could still be ahead of mark. Record of 2-5 since wearing cheekpieces; still unexposed over fences; respected.
4	4 4th (4) (9/2 +50%) The Jeweller's Pet		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(4) The Jeweller's Pet 9/2, Unseated in a handicap chase at Ayr on his latest start. Effective at 2m4f and well treated on hurdle form, he has yet to fire over fences but has shown signs of improvement. In the process of showing best chase form when hampered and unseating rider last time.
5th	3 5th (3) (3/1 +25%) Dixie Cowboy		3 3/1(+25%)																															(3) Dixie Cowboy 3/1, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark here three starts back. Travelled and ran to form when second, beaten 5 1/2l off 93 last time, and runs off the same mark again. Solid record at about 2m since switched to chasing; likely player if sustaining the form.

REHILL RELIC improved from his fourth at Southwell to gain a first victory over the larger obstacles at Huntingdon just before Christmas. A 4lb rise seems more than fair and he is capable of taking another step forward. Largy Train was a beaten favourite here in November, but the drop in trip is likely to benefit him. Others for the shortlist include Dixie Cowboy and Huit Reflets.

The suggestion is LARGY TRAIN, who has solid course form this term. Rehill Relic is second pick.

1	11 1st (11) (11/4 -10%) Shuttle Diplomacy		2.75 11/4(-10%)																															(11) Shuttle Diplomacy 11/4, Best run to date over hurdles when second, beaten 3l, in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time benefitting from addition of tongue tie. Effective at 2m and classy in bumpers, he is slowly getting better now switching to hurdles. Placed in Champion Bumper last time and should go well. Dual bumper winner, two disappointing hurdle runs before a much better effort at Limerick.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 -7%) Arcadian Emperor		2 2/1(-7%)																															(1) Arcadian Emperor 2/1, Promising debut when fourth, beaten 4l, in a bumper at Leopardstown latest. Trainer is in form and the 2 1/2m trip suits. Point-to-point form has been boosted under rules and he looks a likely type on hurdle debut for a top yard. Point winner for Sam Curling, may not have been suited by moderate gallop in a 2m4f bumper.
3	6 3rd (6) (100/1 -203%) Le Roi Du Livet		100 100/1(-203%)																															(6) Le Roi Du Livet 100/1, Modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Limerick most recently. Had been in good form prior and is effective at 2m. Showed promise in bumpers but must leave that previous hurdle form behind. Showed ability in bumpers, will need more hurdling experience judged on Limerick run.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +0%) Kilgame		5 5/1(+0%)																															(5) Kilgame 5/1, Improved when third, beaten 5l, in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown on his return from a layoff. Effective at 2m and well regarded despite having had issues, with the possibility there could be a bit more to come. Shaped well at Leopardstown last month on first run since last March, strong contender.
5th	7 5th (7) (3/1 +10%) Newbrook Diamond		3 3/1(+10%)																															(7) Newbrook Diamond 3/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 9 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle here latest. Effective over 2m to 2 1/4m and a point winner in good form over hurdles for a top yard. Looks set to win soon. Clear second to a well-fancied rival last time, needs to jump better but can win a maiden.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -11%) Genepi George		20 20/1(-11%)																															(4) Genepi George 20/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 6 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last time. Effective between 2m and 2m3f and debut form looks strong, but a bit more is needed to get off the mark. Promising run at Navan before a fair third at Limerick, this company looks more demanding.
7th	12 7th (12) (200/1 -33%) Thankyouforthedays		200 200/1(-33%)																															(12) Thankyouforthedays 200/1, Made mistakes but ran to form when down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recently. Plenty more is needed on what he has shown so far, and he may want further in time. Down the field in two maiden hurdles, well held by Newbrook Diamond on running here.
8th	9 8th (9) (150/1 -275%) Regno		150 150/1(-275%)																															(9) Regno 150/1, Showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Leopardstown on his only start. Effective at 2m and a longer trip could suit now hurdling, but this looks a big ask. Hinted at ability in a bumper at Leopardstown but not a likely winner at this stage.
9th	15 9th (15) (200/1 -203%) The Fly Window		200 200/1(-203%)																															(15) The Fly Window 200/1, Outpaced and a modest debut when comfortably held in a mares' bumper at Punchestown last time. Showed little in points or bumpers so far and may want further in time. Not a bad effort in a bumper early in the month, likely to need hurdling experience.
10th	10 10th (10) (125/1 -213%) Sharu		125 125/1(-213%)																															(10) Sharu 125/1, Did plenty early and showed minor promise on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Down Royal on his only start. Effective at 2m1f, but more is needed for him to figure over hurdles. Should improve from a bumper run, stable has a strong candidate here in Kilgame.
11th	14 11th (14) (250/1 -67%) Rathbawn Soldier		250 250/1(-67%)																															(14) Rathbawn Soldier 250/1, Improved a little when down the field in a maiden hurdle here most recently. On current evidence she looks one for further down the line rather than an immediate contender. Two midfield finishes in large-field maidens, will need to qualify for a handicap mark.
12th	2 12th (2) (6/1 +14%) Did I Ask You That		6 6/1(+14%)																															(2) Did I Ask You That 6/1, Far too free when third, beaten 33l, in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time. Trainer is in form and he is effective at 2m6f. Could have a say if back to level of debut form. Lightly raced since second in a bumper in 2022, blowing hard after a tame run at Tramore.
13th	13 13th (13) (50/1 -25%) True Harmony		50 50/1(-25%)																															(13) True Harmony 50/1, Promising debut when a 4l winner in a maiden point at Stowlin. Returns from a long layoff and is a point winner. Could have more to offer now moving under rules. Mahler gelding, good pedigree, looked useful when winning a point for Gary Murphy last May.
14th	16 14th (16) (150/1 -50%) Walkingmayotomilan		150 150/1(-50%)																															(16) Walkingmayotomilan 150/1, Pulled up in a maiden point at Quakerstown most recently and returns from a short break. Showed minor promise in points, but this looks a big ask on what has been shown so far. Placed in three of her four runs in points for Colin Bowe, pulled up when favourite latest.
15th	3 15th (3) (125/1 -213%) Embrace The Day		125 125/1(-213%)																															(3) Embrace The Day 125/1, Outpaced and a modest debut when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown most recently. A point winner with a top yard and a longer trip should suit, but he may need more time before showing his best. Point winner last spring, should be better for recent hurdling debut, stable back in form.
8	8 |PU| (8) (200/1 -203%) Patton		200 200/1(-203%)																															(8) Patton 200/1, Modest debut when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last time. On that evidence he looks out of his depth once again in this company. Fell in a point, remote sixth at Clonmel on hurdling debut, can be ruled out.

SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY isn't the most consistent of performers but did win twice in bumpers, including at this venue, and was placed behind Bambino Fever at the Cheltenham Festival. The Tom Cooper-trained gelding put a couple of disappointing efforts over hurdles behind him when second in a strong maiden at the Limerick Christmas meeting. Point-to-point winner Newbrook Diamond has been placed on all three hurdle starts, including when runner-up to Future Prospect here earlier this month, while Kilgame is another to consider on his third to Murat at Leopardstown. Arcadian Emperor won a Lisronagh point in good style and now switches to hurdles after finishing fourth in a Leopardstown bumper.

Third in last year's Cheltenham bumper, SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY put two bad runs behind him when second at Limerick and may collect now

1	4 1st (4) (11/4 +8%) Rosie Baloo		2.75 11/4(+8%)																															(4) Rosie Baloo 11/4, Improved slightly when second, beaten 4 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective at 2m, and although her bumper winner's hurdle form has taken knocks, she should be competitive at this level. Building up a solid record; beat all bar the market leader at Wetherby most recently.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/6 +52%) La Zoubida		0.666667 4/6(+52%)																															(1) La Zoubida 4/6, Never travelled and could not go the gallop when dropped in trip, finishing well beaten in a Listed mares' novices' hurdle at Haydock last time. Had been in good form beforehand, is effective at 2m5f, with form since franked, and needs this step back up in trip. Form dipped in Listed grade most recently but she commands respect back down in class.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 -50%) Laffer Curve		5 5/1(-50%)																															(2) Laffer Curve 5/1, Made a promising debut when fourth, beaten 8 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Wetherby last time. Effective over 2m5f and likely to improve for a top yard, with the prospect of getting further in time. About 4l behind Rosie Baloo last time but is in good hands and still open to progress.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 -144%) Rosa Diaz		11 11/1(-144%)																															(3) Rosa Diaz 11/1, Made a promising hurdle debut when comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Ludlow last time. This is her second run after a wind operation, she is effective at 2m5f, and may improve when stepped up to 3m in time. Unexposed but is stoutly bred and may ideally need a stiffer test of stamina.
5	5 |PU| (5) (250/1 -213%) Melosa		250 250/1(-213%)																															(5) Melosa 250/1, Unseated early in a maiden hurdle at Doncaster last time. Has shown effectiveness at 10f but stamina remains to be proven over this sort of trip. Ordinary maiden on Flat; unseated rider early on hurdles debut.

LA ZOUBIDA won her first two starts over hurdles, including over C&D, before struggling in Listed company at Haydock. Nicky Richards' mare has to contend with a 12lb penalty, but this appears a fine opportunity for her to bounce back. Rosie Baloo has been knocking on the door and finished second at Wetherby on Boxing Day. She enters calculations along with Laffer Curve, who was back in fourth on that occasion.

Solid ROSIE BALOO may take advantage of the 12lb she receives from La Zoubida, who warrants respect all the same.

1	5 1st (5) (14/1 -75%) Matt Connor		14 14/1(-75%)																															(5) Matt Connor 14/1, Had too much to do after errors at key stages when fourth beaten 8l in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown latest. Effective at 2m and is progressing so should remain competitive. Won at Limerick in October, now down in grade after a satisfactory fourth at Leopardstown.
2	10 2nd (10) (6/1 +40%) Peaceinthevalley		6 6/1(+40%)																															(10) Peaceinthevalley 6/1, Ran to form when fourth beaten 6l in a handicap hurdle at Limerick latest. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and a longer trip should suit based on recent form. Beaten 6l in fourth behind King Kali at Limerick on handicap debut, may get closer now.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/2 +63%) Rebel Gold		4.5 9/2(+63%)																															(8) Rebel Gold 9/2, Ran to form when an 18l third in a handicap chase at Gowran Park on his most recent run. On generous mark based on chase efforts and running into form this term. Veteran six-time winner, several good displays off his much higher chase mark during 2025.
4	7 4th (7) (17/2 -55%) Club Manager		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(7) Club Manager 17/2, Went clear and ran to form down in trip under an aggressive ride when beaten 2 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 2 1/2m and generally consistent. Not the most consistent sort but enters calculations on last month's second at this venue.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 +14%) Theflyingbee		12 12/1(+14%)																															(1) Theflyingbee 12/1, Made too much use of when running to form but was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective over 2-2 1/2m and generally in good form. Ran out of steam in a 2m5f race at Punchestown two weeks ago, this trip may suit better.
6th	13 6th (13) (5/1 +38%) Mon Sheriffe		5 5/1(+38%)																															(13) Mon Sheriffe 5/1, Ran to form when a 5 1/4l third in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time, suited by a positive ride and stiff track down in trip. Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m but his mark demands more. Fair handicap form, seems to be improving, only 2l behind Theflyingbee when third at Navan.
7th	3 7th (3) (80/1 -60%) Granville Street		80 80/1(-60%)																															(3) Granville Street 80/1, Continued in modest form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Navan last time. Effective over 2 1/2m but has been out of form in both codes since a layoff. Has had four runs (two on Flat) after long absence, held by Theflyingbee on Navan running.
8th	2 8th (2) (40/1 -186%) Beyond Your Dreams		40 40/1(-186%)																															(2) Beyond Your Dreams 40/1, Needed the run and may not have stayed when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recently. Effective at 2m and should come on for that latest outing. Has tended to struggle in handicaps, plenty to find with Theflyingbee on recent running.
9th	12 9th (12) (28/1 -250%) Justatan		28 28/1(-250%)																															(12) Justatan 28/1, Outpaced and below form when finishing down the field in a maiden hurdle at Limerick most recently. Effective at 2m and there is more to come now handicapping. Won both starts in points, disappointing since but had excuse in race won by Mystic Malina.
10th	6 10th (6) (10/3 +83%) Doctor Churchill		3.333333 10/3(+83%)																															(6) Doctor Churchill 10/3, Hampered early and below form when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown most recently. Returning from a long layoff and may just need this run. C&D winner early last year after a long absence, has changed stable, could go well.
11	11 |PU| (11) (12/1 -140%) Mystic Malina		12 12/1(-140%)																															(11) Mystic Malina 12/1, Did it readily and improved for debut experience when winning a maiden hurdle at Clonmel by 6 1/2l last time. Opening mark looks lenient and longer trips are likely to suit. Won at Clonmel, not guaranteed to uphold form with third-placed Justatan who met trouble.
4	4 |PU| (4) (13/2 -63%) King Kali		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(4) King Kali 13/2, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Limerick last time. Effective from 2 1/4m to 2 1/2m and remains competitive off his revised mark. Returned from long layoff with a good run here last month, built on that with Limerick win.
9	9 |PU| (9) (33/1 -200%) Rony Has		33 33/1(-200%)																															(9) Rony Has 33/1, May have found the ground too testing when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Limerick latest. Effective from 2m to 2 3/4m but his current mark demands improvement. Met interference at Limerick and the run is best ignored, worth a market check.

CLUB MANAGER has proved frustrating to follow this season, filling the runner-up spot three times including behind River Vale here last month, with King Kali five lengths back in fourth. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding handles testing ground and cheekpieces are now replaced by blinkers. King Kali has won either side of the aforementioned outing including at the Limerick Christmas meeting, with Peaceinthevalley behind in fourth, while Matt Connor won on his penultimate start at Limerick and again put in a solid effort at Leopardstown last time. Mystic Malina and Mon Sheriffe are others to consider.

In testing ground, a light weight could be the key, and MON SHERIFFE has a fair chance of reversing Navan form with Theflyingbee

1	2 1st (2) (5/6 -35%) Kazar Forez		0.833333 5/6(-35%)																															(2) Kazar Forez 5/6, Improved to land a gamble when winning a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 4lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective from 2m to 2m1/4f, handles cut, and may have a bit more to offer for his new yard on French form. Justified market support at Newcastle on reappearance and may show further improvement.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +71%) The Coffey Boy		4 4/1(+71%)																															(5) The Coffey Boy 4/1, Made too much use of when finishing down the field on his handicap debut in a hurdle at Ayr last time. A point winner who handles heavy and soft ground, but is likely to need further than 2m in handicaps. May be capable of a bigger effort back down in distance on second handicap start.
3	4 3rd (4) (13/2 -30%) Expelliarmus		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(4) Expelliarmus 13/2, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time. Effective at 2m and handles cut in the ground, with her current mark looking fair based on her Irish form. Still a maiden but is being given a chance by the assessor; not dismissed.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 -14%) My My My Delilah		8 8/1(-14%)																															(1) My My My Delilah 8/1, Below form when beaten 43l into third in a novice hurdle at Kelso on her latest start after stepping up in trip. Effective at 2m and handles soft and good ground, but has yet to match bumper form and needs more in handicaps. Interesting, with progress plausible now handicapping and back down in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (14/1 -87%) Saviour		14 14/1(-87%)																															(3) Saviour 14/1, Raced keenly and failed to find much when well beaten in a handicap hurdle here on his latest run. Returning from a break, he is effective at 2m, but his current mark looks stiff. Modest effort over C&D in sole outing this term (stable debut, 50-1 shot).
7	7 |F| (7) (16/1 +60%) Macho Sun		16 16/1(+60%)																															(7) Macho Sun 16/1, Continued in modest form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. Effective at 2m, but has been in poor form in both codes for some time. Meager RPRs over hurdles; 8lb out of the weights; opposed.
6	6 |F| (6) (40/1 +0%) Delayed Charm		40 40/1(+0%)																															(6) Delayed Charm 40/1, Refused in a novice hurdle at Carlisle on his latest start and returns from a break. Effective up to 2m4f and handles good ground, but has a bit to prove after that refusal. Handicap debutant who is far from solid on form and may be quirky.

With most of these having questions to answer, the clear pick is KAZAR FOREZ. The six-year-old won on his third start for Micky Hammond at Newcastle and a 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up in this company. The switch to handicaps should help My My My Delilah, while Expelliarmus is next best.

With further improvement a possibility, KAZAR FOREZ is taken to follow up his reappearance win. Expelliarmus is second pick.

1	4 1st (4) (Evens +20%) Love Sign D'aunou		0 Evens(+20%)																															(4) Love Sign D'aunou Evens, Very promising debut when a 1 1/2l winner in a maiden point at Loughanmore. Trainer is in form and, despite returning from a long layoff, he rates a threat on the strength of that run given it has been franked under rules. Won a maiden point last April for Ger Quinn, runner-up has won over hurdles, strong chance.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +78%) Largy Star		2 2/1(+78%)																															(3) Largy Star 2/1, Improved when winning the Winner Of One point at Kirkistown by 2 1/2l last time. Off a short break now; a multiple point winner who has joined a good yard and looks a likely type. Won two points in October for Cormac Abernethy, interesting prospect, stable back in form.
3	5 3rd (5) (8/1 -60%) Touch The Clouds		8 8/1(-60%)																															(5) Touch The Clouds 8/1, Bit free but showed promise when third, beaten 10l, in a bumper at Navan on debut. Off a short break; effective at 2m and acts on soft and heavy ground, with scope to improve if settling. Beaten around 10l in third on debut at Navan, fourth With Nolimit won his next start.
4	1 4th (1) (11/1 -100%) Beechwood Road		11 11/1(-100%)																															(1) Beechwood Road 11/1, Very promising debut in a good race when beaten 5 1/4l in a bumper at Leopardstown. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on yielding ground; knew his job first time but should progress a little. Failed to match market expectations (3-1) at Leopardstown, likely to be capable of better.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 -43%) Vienna Storm		10 10/1(-43%)																															(6) Vienna Storm 10/1, £18,000 Mahler gelding representing a trainer in form. Comes from a top yard and is likely to know his job on debut, with market support potentially informative. Dam a half-sister to smart chaser Chris's Dream, apparent second string for Willie Mullins.
6th	2 6th (2) (12/1 -85%) Doctor Elvis		12 12/1(-85%)																															(2) Doctor Elvis 12/1, Promising debut when third, beaten 12l, in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown. Absent for a very lengthy period since; effective at 2m3f on soft ground, but has the layoff to overcome in this bumper. Showed plenty of promise in a maiden hurdle in 2023, now bids to make up for lost time.
7th	9 7th (9) (20/1 -82%) Fly Away Home		20 20/1(-82%)																															(9) Fly Away Home 20/1, Promising debut when a 13l fourth in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown first time out. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and heavy ground; showed promise over hurdles and could be competitive. Fared best of the outsiders behind Mullins/Elliott runners in a maiden hurdle, may improve.
8th	7 8th (7) (200/1 -100%) Esprit De Rue		200 200/1(-100%)																															(7) Esprit De Rue 200/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper at Thurles on her only start. Has plenty to prove on that evidence and needs to show significant improvement. Made debut at Thurles last month at the age of eight, limited encouragement from that run.
8	8 |PU| (8) (80/1 -60%) Eyecanboogie		80 80/1(-60%)																															(8) Eyecanboogie 80/1, Green in mid-race but finished third, beaten 25l, in a bumper at Kilbeggan on debut. Absent for a very lengthy period since; effective at 2m and should be capable of better with experience. Beaten 25l in third at Kilbeggan in 2024 on only start for Willie Mullins, best watched.
10	10 |PU| (10) (200/1 -60%) Hazy Daisy		200 200/1(-60%)																															(10) Hazy Daisy 200/1, Modest debut when well beaten in a mares' bumper at Punchestown on her only start. Faces an uphill task on that form and has plenty to prove. Always towards the rear at Punchestown first time out, unlikely to feature.

LOVE SIGN D'AUNOU may be able to make a winning start for Willie Mullins. The French-bred gelding won his sole point-to-point start at Loughanmore last April and that looked like a decent contest, with the runner-up landing a maiden hurdle in October. Doctor Elvis returns after a long absence, but could be a danger. He was third behind two smart sorts in Predators Gold and Mossy Fen Park over hurdles at Punchestown back in November 2023, and cost 260,000 euros at the Caldwell dispersal sale. Dual point-to-point winner Largy Star has to be respected on his first outing for Gavin Cromwell.

Willie Mullins has saddled several promising bumper winners in recent weeks and could have another with LOVE SIGN D'AOUNU

1	5 1st (5) (4/6 +52%) Indian River		0.666667 4/6(+52%)																															(5) Indian River 4/6, Ran to form to defy a penalty when winning a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby by 1/2l last time. Effective at 2m on soft or good ground, has made a good start over hurdles and should improve now handicapping. Two from two in juvenile hurdles; still open to progress and stable is in blinding form.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +18%) Chase A Fortune		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(2) Chase A Fortune 9/2, Scored by 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Wetherby two starts ago. Ran to form under a positive ride at a sharp track last time, beaten 2 1/2l off 113, and is 2lb higher here. Record of 212 since switched back to hurdles from chasing; again likely to go well.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/2 +15%) Inca Prince		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(7) Inca Prince 11/2, Made mistakes and needed the run when fourth beaten 14l in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time. Enjoys making it, returns from a short break, is effective at 2m on soft or good ground, and is on a fair mark if proving ability remains. Still needs to prove he retains peak ability but market support should be noted.
4	1 4th (1) (25/1 -178%) Fromheretoeternity		25 25/1(-178%)																															(1) Fromheretoeternity 25/1, The yard won this race last year and she ran to form when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Effective at 2m and ultra-consistent on soft and good ground. Consistent; gets hardly any respite from the assessor but is likely to give her running.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 -18%) Ghasham		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(6) Ghasham 13/2, Probably needed the run when fourth beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last time. This is his second run after a wind op, he is effective over 2-2 1/2m and is consistent on soft or good ground. On long losing spell but this second run since wind surgery may be the time to catch him.
6th	3 6th (3) (50/1 -567%) Celestial Reign		50 50/1(-567%)																															(3) Celestial Reign 50/1, Below form when fourth beaten 28l in a novice hurdle at Cartmel last time, racing up in grade under a penalty. Effective over 2-2 1/2m and on good to soft or good ground, with a fair mark on spring form. Folded tamely when last seen but has steadily progressive form otherwise over hurdles.
4	4 |PU| (4) (25/1 -39%) Russian Virtue		25 25/1(-39%)																															(4) Russian Virtue 25/1, Ran a bit below form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Musselburgh last time. Returns from a short break, is effective at 2m, and is generally consistent in both codes on soft or good ground. Looks well treated if a resurgence materialises, being 7lb below last winning mark.

Having won both starts over hurdles to date, Indian River has to be respected on his handicap bow. That said, he is a four-year-old now taking on older rivals and marginal preference is for GHASHAM. Dan Skelton's gelding has been running well in defeat and remains on a workable mark. The in-form Chase A Fortune is another with strong claims.

Promising juvenile hurdler INDIAN RIVER (nap) is taken to beat his elders and keep the Fred Winter dream alive.

1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +25%) Argento Boy		2.5 5/2(+25%)																															(2) Argento Boy 5/2, Yard has won the last two runnings of this race. Won a beginners chase at Punchestown by 5 1/2l last time. Trainer is in form, effective at 3m, and while inconsistent over hurdles, there is likely more to come over fences on favourable easy ground. Possibly fortunate maiden winner last month; respected but likely needs to improve.
2	4 2nd (4) (15/2 -7%) Bossofthebrownies		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(4) Bossofthebrownies 15/2, Showed an awkward head carriage under pressure but ran to form when beaten 6 1/2l into third in a novice chase here last time. Effective over 2 1/2-3m and suited by plenty of cut, having improved since going chasing. C&D third to Flicker Of Hope last month but 6.5l to find, albeit 3lb better off.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 -20%) The Enabler		9 9/1(-20%)																															(7) The Enabler 9/1, Made mistakes and was a bit below form when fourth, beaten 18l, in the Sky Bet Super Sub Novice Chase (Grade 3) at Punchestown last time. A top jockey is back on board, effective over 2-2 1/2m, and generally consistent. Tries a new trip here and possibly vulnerable to some proven stayers.
4	8 4th (8) (11/2 +61%) The Great Nudie		5.5 11/2(+61%)																															(8) The Great Nudie 11/2, Did it cosily and improved for a step up in trip under a positive ride when winning a beginners chase here by 12l last time. Effective over 2-2 1/2m, progressing over fences, with a bit more to come judged on hurdle form. Recent mares beginners' winner; much more on her plate and unproven over this sort of trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/1 -25%) Blaze The Way		5 5/1(-25%)																															(3) Blaze The Way 5/1, Did it cosily and improved for a step up in trip on handicap debut when winning the Turners Handicap Chase at Cheltenham by 5l last time. Wants close to 3m and is progressing steadily over fences. Cheltenham handicap winner; goes on heavy, big player.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -164%) Lonesome Boatman		66 66/1(-164%)																															(6) Lonesome Boatman 66/1, Ran to form off a revised mark when beaten 10l into third in the Porterstown Handicap Chase (Listed) at Fairyhouse last time. Comes here off a short break, is effective over 3m+, and arrives in form. Progressive staying handicapper; upped in grade so career-best required but could go well.
7th	5 7th (5) (12/1 -9%) Eagle Fang		12 12/1(-9%)																															(5) Eagle Fang 12/1, Ran to form but was well held when comfortably beaten in a novice chase at Cheltenham last time. Effective over 2m-2m6f and best on a sound surface. A useful hurdler, but needs a drop in class over fences. Ground may have been too quick at Cheltenham; stamina concerns at this trip.
1	1 |PU| (1) (3/1 -9%) Flicker Of Hope		3 3/1(-9%)																															(1) Flicker Of Hope 3/1, Travelled well and improved for a step up in trip when winning a novice chase here by 3l last time. Effective over 2-3m, best at staying trips, and progressing over fences, making him worth this step up in class. Recent C&D winner progressing well and big player again with ground to suit.

A competitive renewal and FLICKER OF HOPE can give weight away to his rivals. Mark Fahey's gelding beat a good field over C&D and did well to win over two and a half miles at Fairyhouse previously, but really comes into his own with a stiffer test of stamina. The obvious danger is Blaze The Way, who also blossomed when stepped up in trip at Cheltenham last month. He beat a strong field in good style in handicap company and should be a big player now in this grade. Argento Boy won well at Punchestown and is another who has to come into calculations.

Stamina likely to be at a premium here with BLAZE THE WAY narrowly preferred to recent C&D winner Flicker Of Hope

1	2 1st (2) (7/1 +7%) Slaney Opera		7 7/1(+7%)																															(2) Slaney Opera 7/1, Needed the run on handicap debut when well beaten in a handicap chase at Catterick last time. Effective at 3m to 3m3f on sound ground and fairly treated on hunter chase form, but must bounce back. Former pointer/hunter chase; well beaten on handicap debut but may have needed the run.
2	9 2nd (9) (7/2 -40%) Delgany Deadline		3.5 7/2(-40%)																															(9) Delgany Deadline 7/2, Made mistakes and ran below form but did see out the trip when 18l third on chase debut in a handicap at Market Rasen. Effective over 2 1/2m to 3m and not fully exposed over fences. Big player for top connections. No threat to front pair when third on chasing debut but could still have potential.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 -78%) Scottish King		8 8/1(-78%)																															(4) Scottish King 8/1, Made mistakes and looked lazy but ran to form when beaten 4l off this mark at Catterick last time. Cheekpieces are fitted first time; effective over 2m4f to 3m but still a maiden under rules. Creditable third of 14 at Catterick last month; slower ground a slight concern here.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 +45%) Nights In Venice		6 6/1(+45%)																															(5) Nights In Venice 6/1, Ran to form when a 6 1/2l third in a handicap chase at Musselburgh on his latest start. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts with cut, though stamina for this trip remains to be proven. Place over 2m4f at Musselburgh last month but stamina for this trip not copper-bottomed.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 -43%) Similar Story		20 20/1(-43%)																															(3) Similar Story 20/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Catterick last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time, and she is effective over 2 1/2m to 3m, but her overall profile remains inconsistent. Badly out of form towards end of last year; cheekpieces added in bid to perk him up.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 +9%) Uncle Al		10 10/1(+9%)																															(7) Uncle Al 10/1, Won by a nose off a 2lb lower mark here two starts ago, but was below form when sixth beaten 23l last time. Best around 2m4f, inconsistent, and a step back up in trip may help. 2m5f course winner last month; held over 2m3f since but of interest over this new trip.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/2 -57%) Tom Creen		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(1) Tom Creen 11/2, Back on his last winning mark and returned to form when beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and acts on good to soft and good ground, with generally consistent form. Course specialist who ran well in defeat over 2m3f here last month; tries a new trip today.
8th	6 8th (6) (9/2 +59%) Carrhill		4.5 9/2(+59%)																															(6) Carrhill 9/2, Disappointing when down the field over a shorter trip in a first-time visor in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time. Effective at 2m1f but step up in trip could suit on chase debut. Safely held in both handicap hurdles; needs to improve on this switch to chasing.
9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 +38%) Eveque		25 25/1(+38%)																															(8) Eveque 25/1, Scored by 2 1/4l off a 4lb lower mark at Hexham three runs back. Made mistakes and was outpaced before pulling up in a higher-grade handicap chase latest; suited by trips of 3m or further. Surprise winner in November but this inconsistent veteran has been well beaten twice since.
11	11 |PU| (11) (12/1 +52%) Iturgeon Du Breuil		12 12/1(+52%)																															(11) Iturgeon Du Breuil 12/1, Never travelled and looked lazy but ran to form when fourth beaten 16l in a handicap chase here last time. Returns off a short break, is effective at 3m, but is an exposed maiden. Ran okay when fourth over C&D last month but now 0-24 under all codes; 9lb wrong today.
10	10 |PU| (10) (33/1 -50%) Aill Dubh		33 33/1(-50%)																															(10) Aill Dubh 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Wetherby on his latest start. Effective at around 2 1/2m, but he needs to prove his ability remains after a lay-off and recent poor form. Returned from long absence with two non-completions for new stable last month.

As all of these have something to prove for one reason or another, ITURGEON DU BREUIL could provide some value off bottom weight. The eight-year-old is not without risk, but he has undergone wind surgery so improvement is anticipated. Tom Creen is a five-time course winner, although never over this far. Therefore, Delgany Deadline and Scottish King, who both run in first-time cheekpieces, are higher on the shortlist in their quests for first career successes.

This could go to SLANEY OPERA, who was a promising novice hunter chaser last spring and now has a recent run under his belt.

1	11 1st (11) (28/1 -12%) Rusheen		28 28/1(-12%)																															(11) Rusheen 28/1, The yard won this race last year. Unseated in a handicap chase at Fairyhouse latest and returning from a long layoff. Effective at 2 1/2-2 3/4m and must bounce back after a break. 1lb wrong on seasonal return and yard debut, market likely best guide.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/2 +47%) Three In A Row		4.5 9/2(+47%)																															(10) Three In A Row 9/2, Had too much to do but just failed to land a gamble when beaten a short-head off a 4lb lower mark at Punchestown last time. Effective at around 2 1/2m, inconsistent, but goes well when money is down and threat if building on latest. Narrow Punchestown defeat augurs well, providing he handles the worse ground.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 -9%) Goraibhmaithagat		12 12/1(-9%)																															(4) Goraibhmaithagat 12/1, Badly hampered mid-race and not knocked about after when well beaten in a beginners' chase at Punchestown latest. Likely to want at least 2 1/2m and should have more to offer over fences when stepped up in trip if ridden more positively. Hasn't progressed from encouraging chase debut here; back in trip for handicap debut.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 +17%) Karl Des Tourelles		5 5/1(+17%)																															(1) Karl Des Tourelles 5/1, Eased late when beaten, paying the price for trying to go with an impressive winner when comfortably held in a beginners' chase at Leopardstown last time. Effective at 2 1/2-3m, best with cut, and a consistent hurdler who looks one for handicaps over fences. Enters handicap ranks on 10lb lower mark than hurdles so has to be respected.
5th	3 5th (3) (11/1 -10%) Talk In The Park		11 11/1(-10%)																															(3) Talk In The Park 11/1, No match for the winner but ran to form when second, beaten 15l, in a novice chase at Fairyhouse latest. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time, effective at 2m6f, and may stay 3m. In form. 0-8 chasing but remains of interest back in handicap with cheekpieces now tried.
6th	9 6th (9) (15/2 +17%) Mickie Angel		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(9) Mickie Angel 15/2, Ran to form up in trip when second, beaten 4 1/4l, in a handicap chase at Limerick latest. Effective at 2 1/2-3m, in good form, and not fully exposed over fences. Outstayed by a well-handicapped rival over 2m7f at Limerick; 3lb higher but should go well.
7th	2 7th (2) (9/1 -170%) Raglan Road		9 9/1(-170%)																															(2) Raglan Road 9/1, Never put into the race or asked a question when comfortably held in a beginners' chase at Fairyhouse last time. Off a short break, effective at around 2 1/2m, and can do better over fences when stepped up in trip in handicaps. Just third attempt chasing so potential improver off 5lb lower chase mark.
8th	8 8th (8) (12/1 -9%) Prophet's Corner		12 12/1(-9%)																															(8) Prophet's Corner 12/1, All but brought down mid-race and had no chance after when well beaten in a beginners' chase at Punchestown latest. Effective at around 3m and likely one for handicaps over fences. Best hurdles form over further; opposable on handicap chase debut.
9th	6 9th (6) (8/1 -45%) Built By Ballymore		8 8/1(-45%)																															(6) Built By Ballymore 8/1, Finished fourth when beaten 28l in a beginners' chase at Punchestown latest, having not been put into the race back from a break. Effective at around 2 1/2m, yet to match his useful hurdles form, but should come on for that run and do better in handicaps off what looks a generous mark. Handicap chase debut off 12lb lower mark than hurdles so certainly scope for improvement.
10th	7 10th (7) (12/1 +45%) Jacovec Cavern		12 12/1(+45%)																															(7) Jacovec Cavern 12/1, Ran to form off a big weight when third, beaten 15l, in a novice chase at Fairyhouse on his most recent run. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and in good form since switching to fences. Didn't stay 2m6f latest; return to this trip should suit but others better handicapped.
11th	5 11th (5) (9/2 -13%) Bridie's Beau		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(5) Bridie's Beau 9/2, Scored by 3l off a 12lb lower mark at Clonmel on his penultimate start. Usually held up, effective at around 2 1/2m, and progressing over fences, with likely a bit more to come. Progressive of late; up 12lb for last two runs but yard really firing now; shortlisted.

Gavin Cromwell bounced back to form during the week and BRIDIE'S BEAU may be able to give him another winner. The Blue Bresil gelding won at Clonmel early last month before losing out narrowly at Navan just 12 days later. He is 3lb higher, but looks capable of another big run. Talk In The Park ran a solid race, despite not troubling winner The Enabler, in a hot rated contest at Fairyhouse. Connections try cheekpieces and he could play a big part. Three In A Row was narrowly denied at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and has to be respected.

BRIDIE'S BEAU (nap) makes plenty of appeal, especially given the recent form of the yard, and gets the vote ahead of Mickie Angel

1	7 1st (7) (16/5 -16%) National Question		3.2 16/5(-16%)																															(7) National Question 16/5, Scored by 2l off a 7lb lower mark at Newcastle three starts back. Was poorly placed off a modest pace at a sharp track when fifth, beaten 8l off 80 last time, and runs off the same mark here. Ended last year in good form at about 2m; this trip on slow ground might stretch him.
2	3 2nd (3) (14/1 +44%) Nellie Bluesky		14 14/1(+44%)																															(3) Nellie Bluesky 14/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Kelso last time. Suited by 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good to soft, but needs to leave that reappearance form behind. Safely held all three starts since causing 50-1 surprise on hurdle debut in spring 2024.
3	1 3rd (1) (16/5 +36%) Secret Vino		3.2 16/5(+36%)																															(1) Secret Vino 16/5, Scored by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark at Southwell on his penultimate start. Ran to form when fifth, beaten 6 1/2l off 100 last time, the same mark here. Effective at 2m and may do better over slightly further. Came good two starts ago and didn't really have race run to suit on latest outing.
4	6 4th (6) (11/4 +17%) Kaviar Wood		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(6) Kaviar Wood 11/4, Went clear, made mistakes, rallied and showed improvement when beaten 2 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 2 1/2m, acts on good to soft, and may get even further in time. 0-5 over hurdles but ran big race from the front when second over C&D on Boxing Day.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/3 -21%) Livano Bello		3.333333 10/3(-21%)																															(2) Livano Bello 10/3, Was a bit free but ran to form when 5l third in a handicap hurdle here on his most recent run. Effective over 2 1/2m, acts on soft and good to soft, and is going the right way. Placed three times in a row towards end of 2025, most recently over C&D.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 -83%) Imperial Rule		11 11/1(-83%)																															(5) Imperial Rule 11/1, Ran to form when just flattening out late after a series of errors, beaten 3l off a 5lb higher mark at Catterick last time. This is his second run after a wind operation and he is effective around 2m4f. Good mark on chase form and should go close. Ran quite well in two chases for new stable this season; first hurdle run since early 2024.

KAVIAR WOOD has proven stamina from his time on the point-to-point scene and can build on a promising second over C&D. That was just his second start in a handicap and a 3lb nudge up the ratings looks manageable in this company. Livano Bello was almost three lengths behind him on Boxing Day, but is dangerous to ignore on more favourable terms. Imperial Rule is a potential improver now back over hurdles on his second run after wind surgery.

The pick is SECRET VINO, who probably didn't have his latest race run to suit and can still progress from his earlier Southwell win.

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.
