Class & Speed Card

A point-to-point winner in April, MISTER PESSIMISTIC was successful on his Rules debut when landing a bumper at Listowel in September. The Westerner gelding will probably improve as he goes up in trip but he represents a yard in excellent form and, if jumping adequately on this first run over flights, should be hard to beat. A half-brother to a hurdles winner over 3m, Grey Jude was only two and a half lengths behind the selection when third at Listowel and merits plenty of respect on his hurdling debut. Master Haku and Ready For Road are newcomers from powerful yards and market confidence in either would be significant.

With the de Bromhead stable in good form, MISTER PESSIMISTIC has strong prospects of adding to his point-to-point and bumper wins
Class & Speed Card

JAMES J BRADDOCK displayed plenty of promise when a close second on his debut at Navan last month and the son of Zarak could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Il Corsaro also caught the eye when fifth on his racecourse bow at Leopardstown a couple of weeks ago and Aidan O'Brien's colt should not be discounted. Ryefield Dasher is noted, while Cannes and Atomic City are newcomers to consider.

The percentage call appears to be JAMES J BRADDOCK but all of the Ballydoyle trio are possible threats on their second starts
Class & Speed Card

Having made a winning return to fences at Hexham last month, I Am Max could put his experience in this discipline to good use. A 3lb nudge up the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold display but there some interesting chasing debutants on show, with MR HOPE STREET topping the bill. The seven-year-old was progressive in handicap company last season and can improve further. The Jukebox Kid and Laganhill also require a second look.

Perhaps the most interesting runner is LAGANHILL, who looked very promising during his four-race novice hurdle campaign last season.
Class & Speed Card

Robert Tyner has been waiting for easy ground for I'M SLIPPY and has found a very winnable race for his hurdling debut. The Maxios gelding won a valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse in April and although that form hasn't really been tested yet, it will be surprising if he doesn't maintain his unbeaten record in this contest. The half-brother to a 2m4f hurdles winner has reportedly done plenty of schooling and jumps well. Family Getaway is a half-sister to useful and versatile performer The Very Man and is a newcomer to note. Market Ready's fourth at Clonmel in March is the best hurdles form on show and he has place claims.

This looks like a good starting point over hurdles for I'M SLIPPY who made a good first impression in a valuable bumper at Fairyhouse
Class & Speed Card

Mermaids Cave shouldn't be judged too harshly on her latest defeat over fences at Worcester and better is expected on this switch to hurdling. However, a drop in trip could prove on the sharp side for the Court Cave mare and it may be worth chancing FORGET THE WAY. James Owen's charge landed last year's edition of this race in ready fashion and a reproduction of his second at Southwell two starts ago may suffice. Annexation is the pick of the remainder.

Daisy Hitchins AS FAST AS WIND looked in excellent nick when winning readily at Kempton a fortnight ago and gets the vote.
Class & Speed Card

MICKEY THE STEEL was only narrowly denied when second at Navan 11 days ago and the seven-year-old, who claimed this prize in 2023, could go one better, despite a 2lb rise. Nouvel Espoir was just half a length behind the selection at Navan and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Mary Shoelaces edges out Glory To Be and Amicitia to be the pick of the remainder.

Recent Naas winner STAG NIGHT is taken to follow up on his required ground
Class & Speed Card

Intosomethinggood appeared to find 2m too sharp when finishing fifth at Chepstow last month and an improved showing is forecast over the extra half-mile. However, KNOMOREDIAMONDS came home in splendid isolation on his return to action in a Hexham handicap and, switching to novice company, there could be more to come. Market support for hurdling newcomer Tormund Giantsbane would be interesting, while Lost Frequencies is still open to improvement.

The 6yo LOST FREQUENCIES has been been off for 11 months but his form last season is quite compelling in the context of today's company.
Class & Speed Card

MARY'S PRIDE ran a nice race after a long layoff when third at Fairyhouse last month and that form was boosted when the runner-up scored next time out. Eddie Cawley's runner has won two handicaps over this trip and is back on a competitive mark. Sarah Kavanagh's claim gives him a nice racing weight and any further rain would be to his advantage. Eastmore has really got his act together lately and although best on good ground, his second at Listowel two runs back showed that he handles easy ground too. Seven-time winner Crowsatedappletart would ideally prefer further, but his hurdles mark is 14lb lower than his revised chase rating and he is likely to be in the mix.

MARY'S PRIDE is 5lb below his last win and shaped with plenty of promise on his return from a break at Fairyhouse so he is preferred
Class & Speed Card

Bongo Man posted creditable efforts in defeat over C&D and at Uttoxeter in the spring and should put his hurdling experience to good use. The five-year-old isn't taken lightly on his return to action, but NOT FOR PASSIN could reach greater heights. Having made a winning Rules/bumper debut at Perth in May, Robbie Llewellyn's stable debutant could take some stopping if taking to this discipline. Liam Mera Kai and Sir Edward Lear are other interesting sorts.

The Uttoxeter maiden in which BONGO MAN finished a clear third in May has worked out very well in the meantime, and he gets the nod.
Class & Speed Card

Shamalza made a winning debut over a mile at Navan a couple of months ago and has to be noted. That said, marginal preference is for TINA'S INDIAN, who returned from a gelding operation with a third off a mark of 94 at Naas last month and, on that evidence, the unexposed four-year-old could take plenty of stopping. The rest have questions to answer, but I Am Superman is the pick of them.

Strongest recent claims are held by TINA'S INDIAN (nap), although Shamalza is unexposed and greatly respected
Class & Speed Card

Having tasted defeat only once in five outings over fences last season, TELEPATHIQUE ended her campaign with a Listed victory at Huntingdon. Lucy Wadham's charge got the better of subsequent Mares' Chase runner-up Brides Hill and she should take all the beating if returning in the same heart. Paggane arrives on the back of a close-up second over hurdles at Chepstow and is feared most, ahead of Apple Away.

Lucy Wadham won this last year with a seasonal debutante and TELEPATHIQUE's first season over fences could barely have gone better.
Class & Speed Card

Locally-trained mare DIVABORIVA can land this prize for Jonathan Sweeney. The bumper winner shaped with promise on her hurdling debut when sixth here back in April and then reverted to NH Flat company to finish third in a hotly-contested Grade 3 at the Punchestown Festival. Provided that she is fit and ready on this first run of the season, the six-year-old looks to hold leading claims under Adam Ryan. Recent Fairyhouse third Noble Name would have every chance if reproducing that effort. Tramore bumper winner Barra Rua is another who has to be considered in a competitive affair for the grade.

Henry De Bromhead is in flying form and his Down Royal bumper winner ECHOING SILENCE is taken to make a winning return
Class & Speed Card

PIC ROC looked unlucky when stumbling and unseating his rider at Worcester recently and a first chase victory could be on the horizon. The seven-year-old posted some good efforts in defeat last season and he should take plenty of stopping if completing. Greyval arrives on the back of a respectable fifth in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow and she could give the selection most to think about, with Billy Boi Blue next best.

Some caution has to be advised but PIC ROC brings clearly the best form, at this best, and has also shown the required stamina.
Class & Speed Card

Having supplemented a close-up third at Killarney with a good runner-up effort over 1m here, compensation could be on the cards for SUPER EXCEED. A 3lb higher mark looks workable for Tom Mullins' filly and reverting to 7f shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Loingseoir arrives on the back of a C&D victory, but a 7lb rise in the ratings demands more. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from the unexposed Key Witness, who is entitled to build on his second-placed stable bow at this venue last month.

Loads with chances, MERCURIAL getting slight preference over Key Witness
Class & Speed Card

KAPAL LAYAR progressed throughout last season and ended the campaign with an impressive win in a handicap at Perth in April. That form has worked out well and the six-year-old may have enough improvement left to come to defy a 9lb rise on his return. Siog Geal won a valuable Grade 2 handicap at Newbury when last seen in March and is another to note. Personal Ambition and Florida Dreams complete the shortlist.

The call is FLORIDA DREAMS, a regular in handicaps of this stature and he should really have made a successful chase debut 22 days ago.
Class & Speed Card

The Gordon Elliott-trained CARDCOUNTER looks to have been presented with a nice opportunity to make a winning reappearance. A dual scorer over hurdles last season, the five-year-old ended his campaign when down the field in a Grade 1 at the Punchestown Festival. Although no match for the principals on that occasion, the fact he was deemed good enough to contest that race suggests that connections think highly of him. An impressive winner here last time, Tackletommywoowoo rates the main threat. Despite having plenty to find with the selection, the Declan Queally-trained five-year-old is open to further improvement. Listowel maiden hurdle winner Good Girl Kathleen looks best of the remainder.

The 137 rated CARDCOUNTER came up short in Grade 1 company when last seen but this is easier and he can get back to winning ways
Class & Speed Card

La Lolita won at Ludlow 10 days ago and has to be respected, but a 7lb penalty is a concern. With that in mind, preference is for SCAVENGERS REIGN, who showed ability in bumpers earlier in the year and was only narrowly denied on her hurdling bow over C&D. Sumatran Tiger returned to obstacles with an encouraging fourth at Stratford and is another to note.

It's hard to get away from SCAVENGERS REIGN, who made a very promising start to her hurdling career over C&D last month.
Class & Speed Card

Uxmal wasn't seen again last season after landing the Queen Alexandra Stakes at Royal Ascot and he's entitled to build on his last-placed reappearance in the Curragh Cup in July. However, shock Roscommon Listed winner CHALLY CHUTE was denied a clear run at a crucial stage in the Irish Cesarewitch here, but still went very close and looks a more solid proposition in his current heart. Irish Oaks third Island Hopping is a potential improver stepping up in trip and she completes the shortlist.

CHALLY CHUTE will be difficult to beat if repeating his unlucky run in the Irish Cesarewitch over C&D last time.
Class & Speed Card

HANDSTANDS found significant improvement when switched to fences last season and put in a career best when beating subsequent Arkle winner Jango Baie in the Scilly Isles at Sandown in February. He was badly hampered when pulled up at Aintree on his sole subsequent start and Ben Pauling's gelding can make amends on his return. Resplendent Grey won the bet365 Gold Cup when last seen and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of The Kalooki Kid.

If Grade 1 winner HANDSTANDS is on the ball first time back then he'll be difficult to beat with so much in his favour.
Class & Speed Card

None of the five can be safely ruled out, although Nurburgring has been disappointing of late and is difficult to fancy with any great confidence. You Oughta Know is another who will be aiming to bounce back, with the Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old pulling up in the Munster National after coming to grief in the Kerry National. Formerly trained by Mullins and not seen since March, a first-time tongue-strap is tried on Asian Master, who might just need the run. Successful at Galway and Listowel respectively, OL MAN DINGLE and Mossy Fen Park might be the two to focus on, with the Eoin Griffin-trained former marginally preferred. He beat a subsequent winner at Ballybrit and looks an exciting prospect for connections.

Henry de Bromhead's MOSSY FEN PARK beat a good yardstick at Listowel on his seasonal return and may be able to follow up
Class & Speed Card

PURE CARBON may have been comfortably held when second on his chasing debut at Chepstow a few weeks ago but it was still an effort full of promise. That recent run could give the six-year-old an edge because most of his main rivals are making their returns. That includes Rumoursareflying, who won at Wetherby when last seen in March, and the unexposed Boston Boy.

Back at his happy hunting ground and on a workable mark, last year's winner NO RISK WITH LOU (nap) can record a fourth C&D success.
Class & Speed Card

Perry Mason made light work of the opposition when completing a double at Galway on Monday and merits respect in his bid to land a hat-trick. However, the assessor has reacted with a 12lb hike, which may leave the four-year-old vulnerable to the lightly-raced TERRE DE VEGA. John Kinsella's gelding offered plenty of encouragement with his second-placed stable bow behind Dark Viper at Leopardstown and any improvement could see him reverse the form. Skippinandajumpin and Pillar Of Hope are the pick of the remainder.

Loads have chances but TERRE DE VEGA gets the vote to turn the tables on Dark Viper from Leopardstown last time.
Class & Speed Card

VAL DANCER made a winning seasonal debut in this contest last year prior to landing the Welsh Grand National. He's 6lb higher than for that Chepstow success, but Mel Rowley's eight-year-old could prove even stronger this term and looks one to keep on the right side of. O'Connell enjoyed plenty of success in staying chases last season, culminating with a victory at Sandown and a second in the Eider. He's marginally preferred to Inis Oirr and Jet Legs, who are closely matched on recent running here.

Plenty with chances, including last year's winner Val Dancer, but an on-song GALIA DES LITEAUX wouldn't be far away.
Class & Speed Card

A proven stayer and a battle-hardened competitor, HISTORY OF FASHION appeals in this stamina-sapping contest. Winning twice from six starts last season, he had a nice pipe-opener at Gowran recently and it should leave him spot-on for this assignment. An easy winner over flights at Navan in September, Big Debates is the second choice. A close fourth in this 12 months ago, he is rated 5lb lower and the addition of a tongue-strap might eke out further improvement. Representing Willie Mullins, Chosen Witness and A Penny A Hundred warrant the utmost respect, with Paul Townend opting to partner the former. A close third when bidding to complete a four-timer at Galway, Bal Kauto is of definite interest, while others for the shortlist are the returning Fortunedefortunata and Noble Birth.

Despite his maiden status under Rules, LONESOME BOATMAN has a realistic chance on the strength of a good Punchestown festival run
Class & Speed Card

Fitted with a visor for the first time, JACK HOOLA was sent off favourite over C&D on his reappearance and duly returned the ready winner. Tom Lacey's charge likely has more to offer now he's got his act together and is taken to defy a 5lb rise. Queens Wish found a second wind in the closing stages at Market Rasen to take third and could well confirm superiority over Vivid Pink (fourth), while Market House is not without a shout if back to his best.

The choice is JACK HOOLA who did it well enough when defying an absence over C&D earlier this month. He can cope with the 5lb rise.
Class & Speed Card

Fleur De Chine bounced back to form with a victory in Listed company at Naas on her first start over 1m4f. However, she's penalised for that success and the three-year-old STARFORD is preferred on these terms. Joseph O'Brien's charge has shown good progress in handicaps this year, having won three of his last four starts, including on heavy ground at Listowel last time. He will likely prove competitive at this level, while Ballet Slippers looks best of the Ballydoyle contingent.

SHARANGA caught the eye making late gains at Leopardstown (1m2f) last time and the step back up to 1m4f looks sure to suit
Class & Speed Card

Admiralty House was just denied at Fakenham back in March and looks on a fair mark on his first start for a new yard. Dunnet Head has also switched trainers and is another to consider given he won this contest in 2023 and went close over 2m4f at this fixture last season. Saying that, WOODLAND PARK returned the impressive winner of a maiden hurdle at Leicester around this time last year and Olly Murphy's charge could prove better than his opening mark on his reappearance.

Woodland Park is feared but DUNNET HEAD (nap) has to be of interest given his eyecatching record at this meeting when fresh.
Class & Speed Card

The locally-trained INCHIDALY COPPER is the suggestion in this wide-open contest. Running well of late, he will be ably assisted by Luke Burke-Ott, who claims a valuable 7lb. The winner of this race 12 months ago, Burru warrants the utmost respect, while it will be interesting to see how dual Flat winner Plunkett Street fares on his first try in handicap hurdle company. Not seen since finishing fifth of 23 in a fiercely competitive contest at Leopardstown last Christmas, His Nibs can make his presence felt. West Cork Wildway, who is down to a career-low mark of 109, and Arctic Gale are others for the shortlist.

Course Flat winner PLUNKETT STREET (nap) should be in prime shape for this after a good run at the Curragh and gets the vote
Class & Speed Card

Braganza Bay hasn't raced since landing last year's renewal, but cannot be easily ruled out off only 2lb higher. Geordie Night scored at Uttoxeter in May and there may be more to come from him off his current mark, but LELANTOS could prove the one to side with. Nicky Henderson's charge showed strong signs of a return to form when runner-up at Hexham last month and the combination of this extra yardage and first-time blinkers could see him back to winning ways.

The vote goes to CAPTAIN TRIGGER who was returning from 200 days off when runner-up on handicap debut over C&D last month.
Class & Speed Card

Gavin Cromwell plays a strong hand in this, with Mcloughlin holding every chance on the back of a narrow defeat at Roscommon, but a chance is taken on stablemate CALAIS. The 600,000gns purchase displayed plenty of ability when finishing a close third at Roscommon on her introduction and she has lots of scope for improvement on her reappearance if coping with the testing ground. Last month's Leopardstown runner-up Shamrock Flame is not out of it either.

Classy bumper mare SWITCH FROM DIESEL could be too good for these on ground more akin to NH 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.
