NIGHTMARE HAS possesses a smart jumps pedigree and represents connections who recently scored with a smart filly in this new series. By the same sire as State Man and a half-brother to two black-type performers, he cost 150,000 euros as a two-year-old and will know his job. The aptly-named Minella Academy also represents connections who have won in this series. A 52,000-euro Orby Sale graduate, he is out of a half-sister to Group 1 winner Aussie Rules, while his sire has produced some useful NH horses. Ronnie's Rascal is from a nice French family and showed ability on debut. Out of a winning chaser, she finished third to Flat-bred rivals here last month and can improve.

NIGHTMARE HAS was bought for 150,000Euros as a 2yo and he may prove to be a cut above his rivals on debut

11:43 Punchestown 24f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (3/1 +14%) Desertmore House	3 3/1(+14%)	(7) Desertmore House 3/1, Cashed in on a nice opening back in a point when winning at Damma House by 3/4l last time. Effective up to 4m1f and handles heavy and good ground; a leading contender. Should be in prime shape after recent point win, big chance on his La Touche second.
2	12 2nd (12) (9/4 +55%) The Goffer	2.25 9/4(+55%)	(12) The Goffer 9/4, Cashed in on an easy opening on point debut when winning a novice at Umma House by 2 1/2l last time. Best around 3m and on good ground; talented but tricky to win with under rules. Can cope with the demands of this course, warmed up for this with a point win last month.
3	8 3rd (8) (16/1 -167%) Final Orders	16 16/1(-167%)	(8) Final Orders 16/1, Yard won this last year; outpaced, ran to form comfortably held in Midlands National Handicap Chase (Listed) over 3m1f at Kilbeggan last time; returning from a break; effective around 3m, acts on yielding, good; capable of good run. Third to Vital Island here at the festival, that was encouraging, subsequent form less so.
4	15 4th (15) (20/1 -25%) Three By Two	20 20/1(-25%)	(15) Three By Two 20/1, Needed the run when down the field in a 3m1f handicap chase at Wexford last time. A thorough stayer who is best over further; suited by sound surface, acts on yielding and soft; goes well at Wexford. Third behind Busselton and Desertmore House in the La Touche, suited by this sort of test.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 -13%) Busselton	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(2) Busselton 9/2, Ran to form over inadequate trip when second beaten 3 1/2l in the Conditions Hurdle over 2m3f here latest; top course trainer; effective 2m3f-4m1f, acts on S, G; in the mix. Won the 4m1f La Touche in May, faces a wholesale renewal of rivalry, fit from hurdling.
6th	3 6th (3) (4/1 -20%) Vanillier	4 4/1(-20%)	(3) Vanillier 4/1, Yard won this last year; unseated in the La Touche Cup Cross Country Chase over 4m1f here latest; effective 3m-4m2f, acts on S, G; regular in these races. Arguably best of these on orthodox form, went at the 12th when favourite for the La Touche.
7th	1 7th (1) (28/1 -100%) Outside The Door	28 28/1(-100%)	(1) Outside The Door 28/1, Trip proved too short when back hurdling and finishing down the field in a 2m7f handicap hurdle here last time. Effective up to 3m1f and acts on soft and good ground; needs to bounce back. Very useful staying handicap chaser at his best, lacks experience of this course.
8th	6 8th (6) (125/1 -89%) Cavalry Master	125 125/1(-89%)	(6) Cavalry Master 125/1, Fared with credit when down the field in a Listed chase over 4m3f at Pardubice latest. Effective around 3m and acts on good ground; faces a less competitive race here. Completed the course in the Velka Pardubicka, form at this track provides no encouragement.
9th	14 9th (14) (10/1 +60%) Well Buoy	10 10/1(+60%)	(14) Well Buoy 10/1, Yard has won two of the last five renewals of this race; not clear run but ran to form when comfortably held in a Ladies chase here last time. Stays well, handles any ground; needs to improve. A young horse, his trainer's mastery of this discipline suggests he could have a future.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (100/1 -150%) Lough Derg Spirit	100 100/1(-150%)	(10) Lough Derg Spirit 100/1, Needed the run when comfortably held in a novice event at Castletown-Geoghegan last time. Effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on soft; has a bit to find. Not much mileage on the clock for a horse of his age, has won over the banks at Lingstown.
10th	5 10th (5) (80/1 -21%) A Mighty King	80 80/1(-21%)	(5) A Mighty King 80/1, Below form back in a point when fourth, beaten 24l, in a maiden at Knockmullen House last time. Effective around 3m and handles soft ground; has plenty to find. Unseated on his first try at this track, weak form in points, seems safe to rule out.
11th	9 11th (9) (40/1 -100%) Gentleman De Reve	40 40/1(-100%)	(9) Gentleman De Reve 40/1, Ran with credit in a competitive Listed chase over 4m3f at Pardubice latest. Stays well and acts on good ground; has a chance on stable debut. Fair performer in cross-country races in France, sixth in the Velka Pardubicka.
12th	11 12th (11) (80/1 -264%) Peaches And Cream	80 80/1(-264%)	(11) Peaches And Cream 80/1, From the same yard that won this race last year; not a clear run and below form when comfortably held in the La Touche Cup Cross Country Chase over 4m1f here last time. Effective from 3m to 3m4f on soft or good; can go well in this type of race. Not in the same league as stablemate Vanillier, completed the course in the La Touche.
13th	13 13th (13) (66/1 -65%) Walking On Glass	66 66/1(-65%)	(13) Walking On Glass 66/1, Pulled up in a 2m7f handicap hurdle here latest. Effective around 2m4f and handles soft or good ground; has a lot to find. Recent form is unconvincing, trainer has a stronger candidate in Outside The Door.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (25/1 -79%) Vital Island	25 25/1(-79%)	(4) Vital Island 25/1, Pulled up in a Listed chase over 4m5f at Le Lion-D'Angers last time. Wears cheekpieces for the first time; stays well and handles soft and good ground; a regular in these Punchestown races. Course specialist over banks at Lingstown and at this circuit, always merits respect here.

VANILLIER may be able to make a winning return. Gavin Cromwell's charge was impressive when scoring over this course back in February and went on to run well for third at Cheltenham. He finished the season on a bit of a low note, but is a smart horse at his best and coming here fresh could suit. Busselton won the La Touche Cup at the Festival here and has to be respected. He's had a couple of recent spins over hurdles so arrives fit. Desertmore House, who lost out by three-parts of a length in the La Touche, is another to consider. He also has the benefit of a run having won a point-to-point three weeks ago.

With a recent point-to-point win behind him, La Touche runner-up DESERTMORE HOUSE may emerge best in a rematch with key rivals

12:00 Cork 15f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (5/2 +38%) Grey Jude	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(6) Grey Jude 5/2, Fair hurdles debut when second, beaten 3l, in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective at 2m on yielding ground and has more to offer. Recent C&D hurdles debut second puts him right in the mix.
2	9 2nd (9) (5/4 +55%) Master Haku	1.25 5/4(+55%)	(9) Master Haku 5/4, Promising debut third, beaten 6 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle here; effective at 2m on yielding ground and should progress. Recent C&D debut third; 3.5l to find with Grey Jude but could find it.
3	11 3rd (11) (6/4 +8%) Midnight Jet	1.5 6/4(+8%)	(11) Midnight Jet 6/4, Very promising debut winner by 2l in a 4yo bumper over 2m1f at Killarney; brings strong potential to hurdles for a top yard. Killarney bumper win reads well; since joined top yard and major respect on hurdles debut.
4	8 4th (8) (33/1 -83%) Jury Foreman	33 33/1(-83%)	(8) Jury Foreman 33/1, Confirmed debut level when fourth, beaten 23l, in a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Wexford last time; effective up to 2m4f on good to yielding ground and has more to come. Didn't seem to get home over 2m4f latest; drop back in trip could suit but more needed.
5th	10 5th (10) (66/1 -136%) Maxicourt	66 66/1(-136%)	(10) Maxicourt 66/1, Took a step back from his hurdles debut when well beaten in a maiden here last time; effective at 2m on yielding ground and may do better once handicapping. Well held over C&D latest however and lots to find with a couple of these on that run.
6th	3 6th (3) (125/1 -279%) Glenrush Bay	125 125/1(-279%)	(3) Glenrush Bay 125/1, Made his move too soon and finished down the field in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles and hard to fancy. Too keen latest over hurdles; may need more time.
7th	14 7th (14) (14/1 -17%) Puma's Dream	14 14/1(-17%)	(14) Puma's Dream 14/1, Ocovango gelding; half-brother to Maxxum, a high-class performer at 20f; from a top yard and worth market attention on debut. Half-brother to Maxxum; seemingly the yard's second-choice but worth a look all the same.
8th	15 8th (15) (28/1 +0%) Saji	28 28/1(+0%)	(15) Saji 28/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 16l, in a 1m6f maiden at Navan last time; should stay 2m over hurdles and is one to consider. Ex Gosden-trained 4yo; not an obvious one to make an immediate impression hurdling.
9th	5 9th (5) (50/1 -213%) Global Skies	50 50/1(-213%)	(5) Global Skies 50/1, Ran to form when fourth, beaten 3l, in a 10f handicap at Nottingham last time; should stay 2m over hurdles and brings potential to this sphere. Fairly useful at best on the Flat in Britain; 16,000GBP buy and yard debut.
10th	16 10th (16) (20/1 -11%) What's It To Ya	20 20/1(-11%)	(16) What's It To Ya 20/1, Pillar Coral gelding; dam an unraced half-sister to a fair hurdles and chase winner; from a top yard and could go well on debut. Probably best watched on debut unless market suggests otherwise.
11th	7 11th (7) (80/1 -400%) Harty Cup	80 80/1(-400%)	(7) Harty Cup 80/1, Showed modest form when down the field in a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; trainer in form and may improve with experience. Disappointing Gowran debut, may need more time.
12th	13 12th (13) (200/1 -203%) Poets Oath	200 200/1(-203%)	(13) Poets Oath 200/1, Showed little when well beaten in a maiden hurdle here on debut; trainer in form but yet to find suitable conditions over hurdles and may need more time. Ignored in market, soundly beaten on C&D debut three weeks ago; best watched for now.
13th	4 13th (4) (200/1 -100%) Glin Road Boy	200 200/1(-100%)	(4) Glin Road Boy 200/1, Produced a poor hurdles debut when down the field in a maiden at Limerick last time; yet to find suitable conditions and needs more time. Big odds, wel held both starts, didn't jump well in Limerick maiden hurdle last month.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (80/1 +20%) Distraction	80 80/1(+20%)	(2) Distraction 80/1, 6,000 euros Valirann gelding; half-brother to Charlie Uberalles, a very useful performer at 21f; up against it on debut. Half-brother to a couple of winners; newcomer likely best watched.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (100/1 +0%) Carry On Star	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Carry On Star 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden over 3m at Umma House last time; faces a tough task on debut under rules. Pulled up on both point-to-points last month.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (100/1 0%) Out Moll's Gap	100 100/1(0%)	(12) Out Moll's Gap 100/1, Again ran to a modest level when down the field in a 2m1f maiden hurdle at Limerick; yet to find suitable conditions but may improve with a step up in trip. Tailed off all three maiden hurdle runs last season.

MIDNIGHT JET has a fine pedigree and showed smart ability to win on debut in May. Out of a Listed-placed half-sister to Marine Nationale, the son of Maxios was well supported when landing a smart bumper for Sam Curling in Killarney, with Grey Jude finishing well held in third. He has joined new connections and will be ready for this reappearance. Master Haku showed plenty of promise when finishing behind Grey Jude here recently and he can turn around those placings as he is open to further progression.

Grey Jude and Master Haku occupied 2nd and 3rd in a similar event three weeks ago but have to give best to MIDNIGHT JET (nap)

Handicaps should be more suitable shortly.
6th	2 6th (2) (150/1 -275%) Fullforward	150 150/1(-275%)	(2) Fullforward 150/1, Made mistakes but produced a fair hurdles debut when 18l third in a maiden hurdle over 2m3f at Fontwell last time; off a short break; effective at 2m3f, acts on good; needs more to win this.

TIDDESLEY WOOD wasn't beaten far on his hurdling debut at Aintree last month and, entitled to have come forward for that first run since March, Fergal O'Brien's charge can do the business. Doctor On Call won a Hereford bumper and also shaped with promise on his timber introduction when second at Fontwell. He heads the list of dangers from Jaccours.

The pick on hurdles figures is TIDDESLEY WOOD. The main form dangers are Doctor On Call and Jaccours.

12:13 Punchestown 21f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (14/1 -17%) Champagne Kid	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Champagne Kid 14/1, Below form and may have needed the run when 14l third in a maiden hurdle at Listowel last time; effective up to 2m6f and acts on yielding ground; looks vulnerable. Bumper winner with plenty of hurdling experience, capable of winning a race at some stage.
2	4 2nd (4) (25/1 -25%) Court Compliance	25 25/1(-25%)	(4) Court Compliance 25/1, Below debut level when second, beaten 2l, in an auction over 3m at Oldcastle last time; has plenty to prove on rules debut. Placed on both starts in points, solid pedigree, this trip should be well within range.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/2 -10%) He Can't Dance	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(8) He Can't Dance 11/2, Yard has won two of the last five runnings of this race; disappointing on hurdles debut when 31l third in a 2m5f maiden hurdle at Galway last time; effective from 2m to 2m5f and acts on soft or good to soft; should improve for the run. In front of Green Splendour in a DRF bumper, failed to spark on hurdling debut at Galway.
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 +14%) Bally Free	6 6/1(+14%)	(1) Bally Free 6/1, Yard has won two of the last five renewals; made a promising debut as a 12l winner in a 3m maiden at Farmaclaffley; effective at 3m in points and acts on soft to heavy; brings clear potential for hurdles debut. Flemensfirth gelding fetched 160,000GBP after a maiden point win in February, promising.
5th	13 5th (13) (66/1 -164%) The Night Agent	66 66/1(-164%)	(13) The Night Agent 66/1, Needed the run and may not have stayed when well beaten in a Listed 3m novice hurdle at Cork last time; effective at 2m4f and suited by cut in the ground; improvement required. Some merit in last season's form, faced a tough task at Clonmel on his reappearance.
6th	7 6th (7) (8/13 +23%) Green Splendour	0.615385 8/13(+23%)	(7) Green Splendour 8/13, Travelled strongly and improved for quicker ground when winning the Grade 2 Weatherbys NH Flat Race at Aintree over 2m1f by 3l last time; effective at 2m and acts on soft or good; has potential to become a high-class novice hurdler. Won the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last season, form looks solid, sets a good standard.
7th	2 7th (2) (50/1 -127%) Banter At The Bar	50 50/1(-127%)	(2) Banter At The Bar 50/1, Probably needed the run when well beaten in a graduation hurdle here last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; effective at 3m in points and acts on heavy; needs to improve. Point winner, poor display over C&D on only start last term, raced lazily, cheekpieces now.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 -178%) Lyreen Og	50 50/1(-178%)	(9) Lyreen Og 50/1, Made a promising debut when winning a 3m maiden at Borris House by 2 1/2l; effective at 3m in points and acts on yielding ground; others may be stronger here. Half-brother to four winners, won his only point-to-point start, of definite interest.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 -150%) Obey The Order	50 50/1(-150%)	(10) Obey The Order 50/1, Improved when fourth, beaten 10l, in a 2m maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last time; effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on heavy or good ground; longer trip should suit. Point winner, has made the frame on both hurdle starts, may find a few too good again.

Grade 2 bumper winner GREEN SPLENDOUR can make a successful start over timber. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding was impressive at Aintree in early April and looks a nice prospect for novice hurdles this season. He Can't Dance was placed in a Grade 2 bumper, but needs to improve from his hurdling debut when well beaten at Galway last month. Gordon Elliott's runners have been coming on for their initial runs, though. Champagne Kid has plenty of solid placed form and should reach the frame again. He sets the standard with his mark of 118, but it would be disappointing if Green Splendour didn't prove considerably better than that level.

This looks like a good launch pad over jumps for GREEN SPLENDOUR, whose victory in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree is persuasive.

LTO Selection:hiden content,

Maestro Du Mesnil and Tenter Le Tout are entitled to be wiser after both made encouraging starts to their careers. However, they don't set the bar very high and a chance is taken that APOLLON FORLONGE, a 75,000-euro purchase whose well-related dam was a winner over fences in France, could have been found a decent opening at the first time of asking.

Chester Williams' TENTER LE TOUT made a promising debut in a big field at Stratford last month and gets the vote.

SORTUDO showed some high-class potential last season. Runner-up at the Dublin Racing Festival before finishing seventh in Cheltenham, he progressed further when bolting up at Fairyhouse in April and will be ready for this reappearance. Jalon D'oudairies missed last season but has also shown smart ability in NH Flat races. A debut point-to-point winner and placed third in the 2024 Champion Bumper, his absence is a concern, although he reappears at an encouraging time of the season. Factual Fact debuts over jumps but has good recent Flat form, while Shuttle Diplomacy finished ahead the selection when third at Cheltenham but behind him at Fairyhouse. He is on a retrieval mission following his Galway disappointment.

Rain is welcomed for SORTUDO after he relished conditions in his final bumper start last season and he may make a winning hurdle debut

INDEPENDENT LADY was well held in fourth on her racecourse debut in a Uttoxeter bumper a few weeks ago, but it would come as no surprise if she stepped forward considerably now tackling hurdles and with Nico de Boinville taking over in the plate. Teddington Lock won on her Rules bow at Fontwell and is also interesting going over timber for the first time, while Future Bucks completes the shortlist.

The Verdict comprises the hurdles debutants INDEPENDENT LADY and Teddington Lock who both look open to progress.

JOUEUR MASQUE was an impressive winner on his last visit here in June and this is a nice stepping stone for him on his return. The Masked Marvel gelding had shaped with promise in a couple of strong maiden hurdles prior to his easy success and he remains a novice for this season. County Final also carries the JP McManus colours and was an impressive winner when taking his maiden hurdle at Navan in September. He looks like the owner's second choice here. Cappa Hill is on a hat-trick, but looks to be facing a better calibre of rival now.

COUNTY FINAL won by a wide margin at Navan last time and winners have come from that race so he is selected.

SARANDON has shown ability in maidens and should compete on her handicap debut. Although well held in fourth on her introduction at Punchestown back in February, she had plenty of rivals behind her. At Wexford last month, she again ran nicely, with that race's winner finishing second at Graded level subsequently. Bannow Blaze has been running consistently well on mainly good ground in recent times and although 6lb higher than when scoring at Wexford, should again figure. La Tulipe Noire has poor hurdling form, but has been running well on the Flat recently and can get involved as she likes soft ground.

A number of them enter handicap company for the first time, and SARANDON is most interesting after her Wexford fourth last time

Yet to find suitable conditions but may do better chasing. Out of a multiple winner for his connections; open to improvement on chase/handicap debut.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A tenacious winner at Fontwell last month, HELLO CELLO looks the safest choice. A 4lb rise should be within her range, as should tackling an additional furlong. Le Galli Bier possibly needed the run when he returned from a break at the same venue and, on just his second start after wind surgery, he is a potential improver to consider. Windsurfer is another match-fit option for the shortlist.

Judged on her hurdles form this term, HELLO CELLO holds particularly solid claims. Jack The Nipper is second choice.

A first-time tongue-tie could help on return. Disappointing in a Grade 3 when last seen; yard's second-string on return with tongue-tie.

FEET OF A DANCER is top-rated over hurdles and can make a winning return. The Authorized mare didn't win during her last campaign but ran some cracking races in defeat, including on her final two outings. She was a fine fourth in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham and finished with a placed effort in Grade 2 company at Fairyhouse. She may prefer a bit further, but can operate over this trip. Fun Fun Fun looks like an obvious danger. She was three from four over fences last season, including claiming a Grade 3 and Listed success. She may also be suited by further. The Great Nudie is a potential front-runner and could be dangerous if given an easy lead.

FUN FUN FUN is taken to score as she goes well fresh and got to a rating of 149 over fences last term.

Blenkinsop and Madaket are still learning over fences and are dangerous to rule out. However, this represents a drop down in class for NOT SO WOOLLY, who was last seen finishing fifth in the EBF Final at Sandown in March. Bred to be effective in this discipline, this could be a good starting point over the larger obstacles for the Joe Tizzard-trained six-year-old.

It was an eyecatching run that BLENKINSOP (nap) delivered on his chase debut, and especially as that was at Cheltenham.

A point-to-point winner on soft ground, LONG BRANCH ran a nice race when fifth over an extended 2m in a useful maiden at Wexford and will be suited by stepping up to this trip for his handicap debut. He has been caught for pace in recent starts, but this test of stamina should see him in a better light. Darcy's Friend, who wears a first-time hood, was well held over fences at Cheltenham, but his hurdles form since joining Emmet Mullins has been useful and he should also appreciate stepping up in distance. Oneforgonzo is proven at the trip, while smart chaser Midnight Our Fred will likely be all the better for this return.

Much improved over fences last season, MIDNIGHT OUR FRED looks potentially thrown in here on his hurdles return

King Of The Lake is versatile regarding distance and having won three of his four starts since undergoing wind surgery, Jeremy Scott's seven-year-old is taken seriously. However, SUNSHINE DIAMOND is likely to relish every yard of this trip and he could be the way to go with the emphasis very much on stamina. The class-dropping Roaring Conquest won a point-to-point over 3m and is another must for consideration.

Saint Palais and Super Survivor are seriously considered but ROARING CONQUEST should be a promising second-season hurdler.

The progressive CUSTOM TAYLOR was an impressive winner on his return at Gowran Park early last month and may still be a step ahead of the handicapper. The Malinas gelding got a 9lb hike for his easy nine-and-a-half length victory, but that may not be enough to stop him from going in again. Millstream Lady is another coming here in good form and could be the danger. She beat a smart mare in World Of Fortunes at Limerick and Calum Hogan takes a useful 7lb off her back. Top-weight Staffordshire Knot ran well when third in the Brown Lad at Naas and is another who has to be on the shortlist.

If he can smarten his jumping technique INTENT APPROACH may prove good enough to cope with the progressive Custom Taylor

AMBION VIEW can kick on after an encouraging second over an extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot last month. A 3lb rise looks manageable and this previous course winner could have a big say with the drop in trip in his favour. The competitively-weighted Turn And Finish also rates a key player on the back of filling the runner-up slot at Plumpton. Similar comments apply to Valadon, who resumes off just 4lb higher than his Fontwell success in April.

Having had the benefit of a run that was encouraging and with his yard flying high right now, AMBION VIEW looks the best bet.

A dual Grade 1 winner over hurdles and runner-up to Lossiemouth in the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, JADE DE GRUGY sets out on her chasing career. The daughter of Doctor Dino is out of a half-sister to Champion Chase winner Sire De Grugy and will be hard to beat if taking to this new discipline. Point-to-point winner The Big Westerner was a fine second in last season's Albert Bartlett and the half-sister to smart chaser Stay Away Fay is another exciting recruit to fences. Kala Conti was a good hurdler in her own right, but finished well behind Jade De Grugy at Cheltenham last season.

This is a cracker and whilst Jade Du Grugy is top-rated, she is taken on with THE BIG WESTERNER who can rate higher over fences

Callum Pritchard got a good tune out of THE HARDEST GEEZER when he finished a respectable second at Newton Abbot and there is a very good chance of the partnership going one better off just 1lb higher. The versatile Aggagio is a multiple winner under both codes of racing and can make this a good test for the selection, while the low-mileage Little Ledgend enters calculations given he gets weight all round and has the assistance of Sean Bowen.

With further improvement plausible, THE HARDEST GEEZER (nap) is preferred. High Fibre is second choice.

Placed several times at Graded level over hurdles, FLEUR IN THE PARK has made a good start to his chasing career and got off the mark in taking style when dropping back to this trip at Wexford. Although not short of stamina, connections feel that his slick jumping can be utilised to best effect over two miles and that theory will be tested to a greater extent as he steps up in class here. Prominent racer Westport Cove has a considerable edge in chasing experience over the selection and his Grade 3 victory at Roscommon is solid form which has been franked by the placed horses. Second at Cheltenham last month, Relieved Of Duties is not one to discount.

There should be better to come from FLEUR IN THE PARK (nap) who created a positive impression at Wexford on his second chase start

GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY, who has gone well here in the past, was denied a hat-trick when last seen. However, that came after a busy spell and he looks worth chancing resuming off just 3lb higher. The French import Raffles Hermes is something of an unknown quantity but his form in his homeland is encouraging enough to suggest he could have a say. King Califet and Valirann Gold complete the shortlist.

Precocious as a 3yo chaser in France last summer, CLOTILDA could be good value for the 9lb weight-for-age allowance she gets here.

SPELLACY'S CROSS won twice at Clonmel last month and should be suited by coming back in trip after finishing a respectable fifth here in the Cork Grand National over 3m4f. He had looked nicely progressive prior to that and should have more to offer. Smallcraftwarning was a place ahead of Spellacy's Cross in that staying contest and has been most consistent in recent starts. Ney was an improver over fences early in the year and should have come on from a recent comeback run over hurdles. O'Toole has been difficult to keep sound but is talented and goes well fresh, while recent winners Castle Field Boy and Battle Of Mirbat would prefer further.

FAITQUE DE L'ISLE had to settle for fourth over an extended 2m6f at Stratford, but he ran out an emphatic winner over this trip at Uttoxeter prior to that. In fact, he has been successful on each of his last three appearances over 3m and can extend that record. School For Scandal sprung a Worcester surprise in June, but couldn't back that performance up at Uttoxeter. He has been freshened up, though, and Gazette Bourgeoise returns from an even longer break having signed off her last campaign by pulling up in a Cheltenham class 2.

10yo FAITQUE DE L'ISLE is easily the most persuasive candidate judged on performances recently. Gazette Bourgeoise is second choice.

5th	7 5th (7) (18/1 -64%) Inothewayurthinkin	18 18/1(-64%)	(7) Inothewayurthinkin 18/1, Big improver, strong late on when winning the Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase (Grade 1) over 3m2f by 6l last time. Effective up to 3m2f, acts on soft and good; this trip is on the short side and he was well beaten 12 months ago. Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, powerful stayer is likely to find this test inadequate.

Effective from 2m4f to 3m1f, acts on soft and good to soft; Brown Advisory winner who retains plenty of potential in his second season over fences. A leading novice chaser last season when unbeaten in three completed starts, big task.

Effective from 3m to 4m2f, acts on soft and good; 2024 Grand National winner, but this trip looks too sharp. 2024 Grand National hero, great effort when second in repeat bid, trip on the short side.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (150/1 -20%) Senecia	150 150/1(-20%)	(11) Senecia 150/1, Returned to form back down in trip when second, beaten 18l in the Clonmel Oil Chase (Grade 2) over 2m5f at Clonmel last time. Effective around 2m4f, suited by cut in the ground; inconsistent but capable at about Grade 3 level. Often highly tried, ambition rewarded with victory in a 2m Grade 2 Navan event last term.

FACT TO FILE had 2023 winner Fastorslow back in fourth when winning a strong renewal of this a year ago and is taken to make a successful start to his third season over fences. A brilliant winner of the Ryanair in March, he didn't give his running when tried over two miles here the following month but it generally pays to be forgiving of horses who disappoint at that end-of-season festival. By contrast, Gaelic Warrior finished last term on a high when stepped up in trip and he has a good record at right-handed tracks, including this one. Brought along steadily before peaking spectacularly in the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Inothewayurthinkin looks opposable on his reappearance.

The 2024 winner Fact To File has obvious prospects, but may not cope with GAELIC WARRIOR who ended the campaign in commanding form

TASHAN looked in need of the run when he faded to finish fourth on his seasonal bow at Chepstow last month. With his match-fitness topped up, this lightly-raced potential improver, who had won two of his three previous starts, could go well on his handicap debut. Le Soleil Reve is another progressive option to consider, while Hudson's Irish form over hurdles suggests he could be placed to good effect now he's under the tutelage of Mickey Bowen.

It's now looking a strong race in which TASHAN ran fourth on his reappearance at Chepstow and he can give weight all round.

KISH BANK finished just behind Mickie Angel when fourth in a 3m contest at Fairyhouse earlier this month. That was a seasonal and chasing debut for the imposing Mount Nelson gelding who, with headgear now fitted, can turn around the form and go close here. Mouse Morris, who saddled the winner of that Fairyhouse race, is represented by Navan maiden hurdle winner Autoportrait. From the family of A Plus Tard, the chasing debutant appeals as one who can fare even better over the larger obstacles. The 124-rated Nowwhatdoyouthink has an edge in experience over many of these. He probably went too hard in front when third at Wexford, but this longer trip is a concern.

Mickie Angel was just ahead of KISH BANK at Fairyhouse last time but the latter may improve more for that comeback run and score

LOW EXPECTATIONS showed the benefit of a mid-year break and looked a different animal when returning with an all-the-way Fontwell triumph. He has an 8lb higher figure to contend with, but that breakthrough will have boosted his confidence no end. Gone In Sixty deserves to get his head in front, but might have to settle for yet another supporting role, with similar sentiments applying to Locked Down Lad. Brave Move may be able to pick up some prize money.

Point bumper winner LOCKED DOWN LAD has been threatening to open his rules account and he is first choice ahead of Low Expectations.

IT'S ONLY A GAME was well found in the market when second in a 20-runner bumper at the festival meeting here in May. Martin Brassil now fits a tongue-tie to the French-bred four-year-old, who is taken to go one place better. Treasure Memory was unfancied when second in a decent maiden hurdle at Galway and merits respect on his first bumper outing. Boycetown and Speculateur have shown ability in point-to-points and represent powerful yards, while Willie Mullins' debutant Drombane is out of a mare who was smart on the Flat and over hurdles.

With the benefit of a racefitness, point and Galway maiden hurdle runner-up TREASURE MEMORY can go one better under a top amateur.

HARRY JUNIOR was a ready winner at Lingfield 12 days ago and keeping him ticking over with a quick reappearance could be rewarding. With first-time cheekpieces supplementing a tongue-tie, the low-mileage five-year-old could brush aside a 6lb rise. Dropping in trip shouldn't cause much of an issue but the likes of Ask Her Out and Square Du Roule could be best placed to capitalise if any cracks appear.

This drop in trip looks the right move for CHEDINGTON'S GUEST, who looked stretched by 3m1f on last month's handicap debut.

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.
