1	4 1st (4) (33/1 +0%) Naturally Nimble		33 33/1(+0%)																															(4) Naturally Nimble 33/1, Once-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on flat. 13/2, seventh of 21 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on NH debut 8 days ago, not knocked about. Likely improver. No luck on recent hurdles debut; yard have a good recent record in this race so respected.
2	6 2nd (6) (1/4 +25%) Willy De Houelle		0.25 1/4(+25%)																															(6) Willy De Houelle 1/4, Useful hurdler. Ex-French gelding who won on debut at Compeigne in March and built on that when 2½ lengths second of 8 in listed hurdle (33/10) at Auteuil (14.9f, soft) 7 months ago. Since joined Willie Mullins and holds strong claims on yard debut. French form reads well, albeit on softer ground; demands respect on Irish debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (17/2 -55%) Messerschmitt		8.5 17/2(-55%)																															(3) Messerschmitt 17/2, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 8f on flat. 3/1, won 17-runner juvenile hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) 36 days ago, readily. Trainer going well. Likely to improve and must enter calculations. Galway win enhanced last weekend; progressive type with likely more to offer.
4	2 4th (2) (13/2 +28%) Coul Dreamer		6.5 13/2(+28%)																															(2) Coul Dreamer 13/2, Promising individual who made a winning jumps debut in 8-runner juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (15.5f, good to soft, 16/1) 16 days ago, unchallenged. Should have more to offer. Impressive hurdles debut win at Punchestown; big run expected.
5th	5 5th (5) (22/1 -83%) Space Warrior		22 22/1(-83%)																															(5) Space Warrior 22/1, Fair maiden on the Flat who made winning start over hurdles when taking 12-runner juvenile hurdle at this course (16f, good) on NH debut 26 days ago, getting first run. This looks tougher, though. Jumped well to win recent C&D maiden; more likely required here.
1	1 |F| (1) (100/1 +0%) Ceol Draiochta		100 100/1(+0%)																															(1) Ceol Draiochta 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, below form 23 lengths tenth of 17 to Messerschmitt in juvenile hurdle at Galway (16.4f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Up against it. Debut promise hasn't yet materialised; hood now tried.

French recruit WILLY DE HOUELLE was runner-up in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil back in April and can make a winning start now on Irish soil for Willie Mullins. The form of that Auteuil run looks strong with the winner, Nietzsche Has winning a Grade 3 subsequently and being runner-up at Grade 1 level. Coul Dreamer was impressive when winning on his hurdling debut at Punchestown 16 days ago and may prove the main danger. Space Warrior also won on his jumping bow, over course and distance last month, and is another that has to be considered.

WILLY DE HOUELLE has joined Willie Mullins since his good second in listed company at Auteuil and looks the one to beat here. Coul Dreamer made a fine start over hurdles at Punchestown last month and looks the likeliest danger.

Willie Mullins' French recruit WILLY DE HOUELLE gets the vote to see off the likes of Coul Dreamer and Messerschmitt

1	7 1st (7) (5/6 +44%) Morning Air		0.833333 5/6(+44%)																															(7) Morning Air 5/6, Fairly useful Flat winner, second of 5 in minor event at Lyon Parilly (10.9f, soft, 15/10). Off 6 months and first run for yard after leaving S. Wattel, she possesses the raw ability to be a major factor now hurdling. The best horse in this field, judged on her French Flat form; commands respect.
2	5 2nd (5) (17/2 -70%) Roi De Baviere		8.5 17/2(-70%)																															(5) Roi De Baviere 17/2, Fair maiden on Flat in France (stays 1½m), placed 3 times but well held latest outing. Left Fabrice Vermeulen €6,000 in July and sent to successful NH yard but just a reasonable hurdles debut at Newcastle. Flat maiden in France; some promise at Newcastle on debut over hurdles.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/1 +25%) Mach Ten		6 6/1(+25%)																															(4) Mach Ten 6/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m) for Karl Burke. New connections went to 35,000 gns to acquire him in July and given a considerate introduction when fifth of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Wincanton 35 days ago. Can take a sizeable step forward. Flat maiden; modest fifth in Wincanton juvenile hurdle won by a smart sort.
4	1 4th (1) (5/2 -33%) Belcamo		2.5 5/2(-33%)																															(1) Belcamo 5/2, Belardo gelding. Dam half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Hawkhill. Fair on Flat, successful at Goodwood (12f) in June. Showed plenty when second of 8 starting out over hurdles at Fontwell a fortnight ago and is sure to build on that. Flat winner; brings the best piece of hurdles form, judged on Fontwell effort.
5th	3 5th (3) (50/1 -213%) Estate Planning		50 50/1(-213%)																															(3) Estate Planning 50/1, Brother to bumper winner Ever Present. Fair form on first of 3 starts in Flat maidens for Mrs J. Harrington. Bit disappointing after and now goes hurdling. Regressive form in Flat maidens for Jessica Harrington.
6	6 |PU| (6) (300/1 -50%) You And Whose Army		300 300/1(-50%)																															(6) You And Whose Army 300/1, Half-brother to dual bumper winner Arthur's Seat (by Champs Elysees), stayed 27f over hurdles, dam half-sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Jorobaden. Tailed-off last in maiden/minor event on Flat for J. S. Moore. Tailed-off last in both Flat outings for Stan Moore.

MORNING AIR handled heavy ground when she won over 1m2f on the Flat in France and, as a half-sister to a winner in this discipline, there is a lot to like as she gets a 7lb fillies allowance on her first start for the in-form Venetia Williams yard. Belcamo was a promising second on his hurdles debut at Fontwell last month and should also be a key player. Roi De Baviere can go well if building on a respectable hurdles bow at Newcastle.

MORNING AIR possessed her share of ability on the level in France and having transferred to a successful yard, she could well be up to the task at the first attempt over hurdles in receipt of weight from all. Belcamo's opening effort in this sphere was encouraging so he's an obvious threat, along with Mach Ten.

Ex-French MORNING AIR holds leading claims provided her Flat ability is transferred to this code. Belcamo is second choice.

1	1 1st (1) (2/11 -9%) Caldwell Potter		0.181818 2/11(-9%)																															(1) Caldwell Potter 2/11, Rapidly made up into a smart novice hurdler in Ireland for Gordon Elliott, winning 2m Grade 1 at Leopardstown over Christmas. New connections acquired for €740,000 in February and looks an exciting recruit to chasing. Grade 1 novice hurdle winner last season; changed hands for 740,000euros in February.
2	4 2nd (4) (28/1 +58%) Hombre De Guerra		28 28/1(+58%)																															(4) Hombre De Guerra 28/1, Fair hurdler who got off the mark at Ayr (16f) in March. However, below that level at same course when last seen in April and faces a stiff task on switch to larger obstacles here. Had wind operation. Narrow winner of maiden hurdle in March; open to improvement over fences this season.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 +33%) Grand Albert		6 6/1(+33%)																															(3) Grand Albert 6/1, Winning Irish pointer who improved with each start last term, ending campaign with creditable second of 7 in novice hurdle at Bangor (23.2f, soft) in April. Type to make a chaser but this trip looks on the short side. Promising hurdler last season; good chasing prospect but needs Caldwell Potter to flop.
4	7 4th (7) (25/1 -56%) Taras Halls		25 25/1(-56%)																															(7) Taras Halls 25/1, Unable to get his head in front over hurdles for Sue Smith, including when fifth in Market Rasen novice on return, and is best watched on chase debut for new connections here. Hooded for first time. Showed some fair form in defeat over hurdles last season; makes chasing debut today.
5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 +33%) Master Breffni		100 100/1(+33%)																															(6) Master Breffni 100/1, Looked set to score in this sphere when coming down late on at Catterick in March and gained compensation over hurdles at this course (19.2f) next time. Looks up against it here, though. 0-4 over fences; won low-grade handicap hurdle here in March but faces tough task today.
5	5 |PU| (5) (14/1 +72%) Imaginary Dragon		14 14/1(+72%)																															(5) Imaginary Dragon 14/1, Fair hurdler who opened account at Kelso (22.7f) last December and backed that up with creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) in February. Still low mileage but is another who would prefer a stiffer test of stamina. Makes chase debut. Fair hurdler who seems versatile regarding trip; makes chasing debut today.
2	2 |PU| (2) (50/1 -355%) Figaroc		50 50/1(-355%)																															(2) Figaroc 50/1, Fairly-useful hurdler who posted best effort over fences when third in listed handicap at Gowran (16f) in March. Below that level thereafter but warrants respect on debut for new yard here. Useful hurdler/chaser at best for Willie Mullins; sold for £8,500 after modest run in May.

Stable debutant CALDWELL POTTER capped off a fine novice hurdling campaign with a Grade 1 victory in the Future Champions Novice Hurdle at the Leopardstown Christmas Festival last year. Now under the tutelage of Paul Nicholls, he looks to have outstanding claims now tackling fences and is likely to prove a warm order. Figaroc rates as the biggest threat, with Grand Albert the pick of the remainder.

This sees the much anticipated chase debut of CALDWELL POTTER, who will start at prohibitive odds but should score with the minimum of fuss, barring mishaps. Figaroc may be the one to chase him home.

All eyes will be on Grade 1 novice hurdle winner CALDWELL POTTER, who joined his new connections for a huge sum in February.

1	15 1st (15) (10/1 +55%) History Of Fashion		10 10/1(+55%)																															(15) History Of Fashion 10/1, Unreliable sort. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Won 9-runner handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, good to soft, 40/1) 29 days ago, always holding on. Back up in trip. Second at 25-1 in this race last year, even bigger odds for last month's Down Royal win.
2	7 2nd (7) (18/1 +55%) Another Choice		18 18/1(+55%)																															(7) Another Choice 18/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap chase at Limerick (24f, good to soft, 16/1) 42 days ago. Up in trip. Down the field in the Munster National, does not appeal as being well handicapped.
3	12 3rd (12) (13/2 +46%) Daily Present		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(12) Daily Present 13/2, Latest win in chase at Down Royal in January. Pulled up in handicap chase at this course (29.1f, heavy, 16/1), pulled up 5 out. Off 8 months. Only 2l behind Where It All Began when fifth in the Kim Muir, pulled up in Irish National.
4	13 4th (13) (6/1 +40%) Outside The Door		6 6/1(+40%)																															(13) Outside The Door 6/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle here in October. 7/2, good neck third of 10 to Sphagnum in handicap chase at Cork (28f, good) 28 days ago. Merits consideration. Suited by a test of stamina, close up in third behind Sphagnum in 3m4f Cork National.
5th	17 5th (17) (6/1 +82%) Brucejack		6 6/1(+82%)																															(17) Brucejack 6/1, Creditable second of 16 in novice chase (16/1) at Gowran (20f, good) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Difficult ask. Stays well and made a bright start to the season at Gowran but 9lb out of the handicap.
6th	14 6th (14) (28/1 +15%) Flash De Touzaine		28 28/1(+15%)																															(14) Flash De Touzaine 28/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy, 9/1) 35 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Managed a couple of good runs during the summer, two more recent efforts less inspiring.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/2 +61%) My Immortal		3.5 7/2(+61%)																															(3) My Immortal 7/2, Useful winner at 25f over hurdles. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap chase (10/1) at Galway (22.5f, heavy) 35 days ago, barely adequate test. Visor on 1st time. Looks held by Where It All Began on running at Punchestown, should be fit after Galway run.
8th	10 8th (10) (14/1 +13%) Stormy Judge		14 14/1(+13%)																															(10) Stormy Judge 14/1, Bit below form twelfth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (22.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 14 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly up in trip. Should be nearing peak fitness now having had two runs over hurdles this term.
16	16 |F| (16) (8/1 +33%) Evies Vladimir		8 8/1(+33%)																															(16) Evies Vladimir 8/1, Course winner. Latest win in chase here in February. Pulled up in handicap chase (7/2) at Uttoxeter (24f, heavy), beaten after 5 out. Off 8 months. Up in trip. Others more persuasive. Solid performer in handicaps up to almost 2m6f last term, unknown quantity over this trip.
4	4 |PU| (4) (12/1 -20%) Sphagnum		12 12/1(-20%)																															(4) Sphagnum 12/1, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Cork (28f, good, 8/1) 28 days ago by short head from Positive Thinker, all out. Can make presence felt. All out to hold Positive Thinker in the Cork National, runner-up may reverse the form now.
8	8 |PU| (8) (14/1 +13%) Peaches And Cream		14 14/1(+13%)																															(8) Peaches And Cream 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at Kelso (26.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Signalled a possible return to form with third at Kelso but others have stronger claims.
11	11 |PU| (11) (18/1 +0%) Street Value		18 18/1(+0%)																															(11) Street Value 18/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase here in December. Last of 5 in minor event chase (8/1) at Clonmel (20f, soft). Off 7 months. Significantly back up in trip. Beat History Of Fashion here a year ago, struggled in valuable staying handicaps later on.
18	18 |PU| (18) (25/1 +62%) Atacanter		25 25/1(+62%)																															(18) Atacanter 25/1, 9/1, bit below form fourth of 8 in novice chase at Sligo (21.1f, good) 60 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Very hard to make a case for. 0-8 over fences, unlikely to make the breakthrough, 10lb out of the handicap, blinkered.

POSITIVE THINKER was on top a stride after the line at Cork last time and a marathon trip seems to bring out the best in him. He just failed by a short-head to peg back Sphagnum in the Cork National and is now 3lb better off with that rival. Outside The Door, who was just a neck back in third then also has to be in the mix again. Favori De Champdou, a Grade 2 winner as a novice, heads the weights here and has to be respected. Carl Millar eases his burden by taking off 5lb. Jack Kennedy rides stablemate Where It All Began, winner of a national trial last season, and he's another for the shortlist.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN might have found the Irish Grand National coming too soon after his decent fourth at the Cheltenham Festival so is worth another chance on return. Klarc Kent is another who might have been over the top last time after his good fourth in the Scottish Grand National, while there wasn't much between Sphagnum, Positive Thinker and Outside The Door when 1-2-3 at Cork 4 weeks ago.

The first three from the Cork National renew rivalry. On softer ground runner-up POSITIVE THINKER can emerge on top this time

1	7 1st (7) (4/1 +20%) Kosasiempre		4 4/1(+20%)																															(7) Kosasiempre 4/1, Dual 2m4f hurdle winner at Market Rasen early this summer. Good placed efforts last 2 starts and makes chasing debut in ordinary race. Consistent over hurdles this term; thereabouts provided she transfers the form to fences.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 -233%) Getbazoutofhere		10 10/1(-233%)																															(8) Getbazoutofhere 10/1, Belatedly opened her account in determined style at Hereford in May and followed up there on return last month, making all. Definite player. 2-2 this term, both wins at Hereford; the hat-trick is entirely possible in current form.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +50%) Moviddy		7 7/1(+50%)																															(3) Moviddy 7/1, Dual 2m4f hurdles winner but yet to add to that over fences and made mistakes as usual when well held at Lingfield last time. Others are preferred. Has shown regressive form this term, taking chase record to 0-7.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 -11%) Gazette Bourgeoise		5 5/1(-11%)																															(5) Gazette Bourgeoise 5/1, Yet to score in 11 starts over fences but probably should have won when beaten only a nose at Ffos Las a year ago. Back to that level when runner-up at Fakenham on return but needs to back that up now. 0-11 over fences but posted a solid effort at Fakenham most recently; fighting chance.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 -133%) Fortunefavorsdbold		28 28/1(-133%)																															(4) Fortunefavorsdbold 28/1, Fair winning hurdler in Ireland and left previous form for this yard well behind with a brace of handicap chase wins at Huntingdon/Lingfield. Struggled since, however. Successful in February/March; far from solid on her subsequent form.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/4 +17%) Kit's Coty		2.75 11/4(+17%)																															(6) Kit's Coty 11/4, Placed all 3 starts in Irish points (£60,000 purchase) and made it third time lucky in this sphere when landing a mares' maiden at Hereford (21.7f, soft) in January. Came close to making a winning chase bow at Ludlow on return and entitled to build on that. Solid third, splitting subsequent scorers, at Ludlow (chase debut) last time; respected.
1	1 |PU| (1) (5/1 +38%) Getaway Theatre		5 5/1(+38%)																															(1) Getaway Theatre 5/1, Point winner who was well suited by emphasis on stamina when making a successful hurdle debut over 2¾m at Stratford last term. Couldn't really build on that, though not disgraced in face of a stiff task on chase bow at Worcester on return. Point/hurdle winner; open to progress on handicap debut and second chase attempt.
2	2 |PU| (2) (14/1 +13%) Anti Bridgie		14 14/1(+13%)																															(2) Anti Bridgie 14/1, Fair form in winning her first 2 starts over hurdles last season and took advantage of a weak race to open her account over fences in a 5-runner novice at Warwick (2½m heavy) in March. Wasn't disgraced at Uttoxeter next time but offered little at Bangor on return. Form dipped on seasonal debut but she's normally consistent and could well rebound.

GETBAZOUTOFHERE returned from a break to register her second win over fences at Hereford last month and has to be of serious interest off just 6lb higher. There are several dangers, though, and the likes of Gazette Bourgeoise and Kit's Coty are both capable of making the selection pull out all the stops if they handle the forecast ground conditions. Chasing debutant Kosasiempre can also figure if she takes a shine to the larger obstacles at the first time of asking.

KIT'S COTY matched the pick of her hurdles form sent chasing when a close third at Ludlow on return and gets the vote off the same mark. Hat-trick seeking Getbazoutofhere and chase-debutante Kosasiempre are feared most.

On the back of a very solid effort, KIT'S COTY (nap) looks the one to side with. Gazette Bourgeoise is second pick.

LIEUTENANT MAYNE was most taking when making all on his hurdles bow at Naas last month, where his jumping proved a real asset. A 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent the five-year-old from completing a brace and he edges the vote over Bangor runner-up Gamesters Guy. The Black Sam Bellamy gelding should relish this extended 2m3f distance and he isn't taken lightly. Penalised Hexham scorer Chasingouttheblues is noted too.

This should develop into a match between GAMESTERS GUY and Lieutenant Mayne. Both were talented enough to win a couple of bumpers and while the latter also won on hurdles debut, he must now concede 6 lb, which tilts the scales towards the former.

This looks tougher than the Naas maiden he won easily on last month's hurdling debut but LIEUTENANT MAYNE still makes strong appeal.

1	7 1st (7) (12/1 +25%) Tounsivator		12 12/1(+25%)																															(7) Tounsivator 12/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Kilbeggan in August. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Listowel (16f, soft) 65 days ago and he's likely to give it another good go, for all he acks the scope of a few. Return to better ground may suit but others probably more progressive.
2	5 2nd (5) (1/2 +45%) Romeo Coolio		0.5 1/2(+45%)																															(5) Romeo Coolio 1/2, Runner-up in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham and facile winner of 16-runner novice hurdle (2/13) at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 29 days ago, hard held. Should significantly improve and he's a top prospect. Jumped super for maiden win; potentially high-class novice and Kennedy's pick.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 +31%) Sea Of Sands		11 11/1(+31%)																															(6) Sea Of Sands 11/1, Useful on the Flat in Germany. Twelfth of 24 in Cesarewitch at Newmarket (18f, soft, 5/1) on UK Flat debut 50 days ago. Well prepared to make a winning hurdles debut prior to that but this asks a different question. Too keen in Cesarewitch; remains unexposed as a hurdler.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 -32%) Plontier		33 33/1(-32%)																															(4) Plontier 33/1, 40/1, twenty third of 30 in handicap at the Curragh (16.8f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles having won a maiden at Sligo on opening run in August but this is a tough ask. Sligo maiden winner appears the lesser likely of the Mullins' quintet.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/2 +30%) Belloccio		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(3) Belloccio 7/2, Highly-promising sort. Smart winner at 14f on Flat. 40/1, well-beaten last of 9 to Kyprios in Long Distance Cup at Ascot (15.6f, soft) 43 days ago. Should have plenty more to offer over obstacles for Willie Mullins. Classy Flat performer unexposed on just second hurdles run; Townend's pick.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -10%) Gaucher		22 22/1(-10%)																															(2) Gaucher 22/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/10, didn't need to be at best when winning 4-runner Joe Mac Novices' Hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, good to soft) 56 days ago by ½ length from Sunchart, driven out. This is a different assignment. Tipperary Grade 3 win off a strong pace; more needed here though.
7th	9 7th (9) (100/1 +33%) Cast A Spell		100 100/1(+33%)																															(9) Cast A Spell 100/1, Fair hurdler. 12/1, improved to win 21-runner novice hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 14 days ago, responding well. Plenty to find on form. Recent Navan maiden winner faces an altogether different class of opposition here.
8th	8 8th (8) (33/1 +0%) Zeeband		33 33/1(+0%)																															(8) Zeeband 33/1, Useful hurdler. 12/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good) 15 days ago, unsuited by step up in trip. This distance therefore in his favour and he's a likeable type, but his limit is established. Very useful handicapper but surprising if he is good enough here.

ROMEO COOLIO is held in very high regard by connections and was a smart sort in bumpers last season winning at this venue and also finishing second to Jasmin De Vaux at the Cheltenham Festival. The Kayf Tara gelding easily justified cramped odds on his hurdling debut at Down Royal and riding arrangements suggest he's preferred to Bleu De Vassy who has already scored at Grade 3 level over hurdles. Willie Mullins has a numerically strong challenge and Belloccio may prove the pick of his five runners. His jumping was far from perfect when easily winning a Punchestown maiden in May and the following month he landed the 1m6f Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot.

ROMEO COOLIO did what he was entitled to when a facile winner on hurdles debut but this Champion-Bumper second is clearly a very smart prospect indeed, as his status at the head of the betting for the Supreme indicates. He can pass this test, probably at the chief expense of stablemate Bleu de Vassy, though Belloccio is open to lots of improvement in this sphere given his Flat ability.

Gordon Elliott holds a very strong hand, ROMEO COOLIO narrowly preferred to recent Grade 3 winner Bleu De Vassy

1	4 1st (4) (11/8 -25%) Hara Kiri		1.375 11/8(-25%)																															(4) Hara Kiri 11/8, Highly positive start for new yard around the turn of the year, landing back-to-back handicaps at Market Rasen/Ludlow in February. Remains sufficiently lightly raced to think he can improve further this campaign. Shortlisted. Record of 311 since joining current stable and switched to handicaps; warrants respect.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 +29%) Snapius		10 10/1(+29%)																															(8) Snapius 10/1, Largely struggled (in this sphere and on the Flat) after winning a Cork maiden hurdle for previous connections in March 2023. Little impact in 4 starts on the level since joining this yard and well held over further here 13 days ago. Drop back in trip a likely plus at least. Shaped better than bare result over 2m4f here on the return to hurdles; interesting.
3	7 3rd (7) (15/2 +38%) Double Click		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(7) Double Click 15/2, Bounced back with a career-best effort to land a 9-runner handicap at Chepstow (2m, soft) in March. Runner-up there next time and whilst below par at Ffos Las when last seen in May he returns to action with his yard going very nicely. Has never won when fresh; not the percentage call on return from layoff.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 -80%) Kuzco		9 9/1(-80%)																															(6) Kuzco 9/1, Ran to a fair level in bumpers in France for Emmanuel Clayeux. More impact than previously after 7 months off/on qualifying hurdles run when fifth of 14 in novice at Stratford (16.3f) 31 days ago and he's just the type his yard do well with in handicaps. Has shown ability; open to improvement now qualified for handicaps; one to consider.
5th	1 5th (1) (12/1 +64%) Foveros		12 12/1(+64%)																															(1) Foveros 12/1, Winless since 2019 but was placed 3 times in claiming company earlier this year. However, not firing on all cylinders on Flat/over hurdles more recently and others more persuasive on balance. Has a fighting chance on bits of 2024 form but is on a very long losing spell.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/2 -50%) Activist		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(2) Activist 9/2, Fairly useful on Flat in France and already tasted success 3 times over hurdles for new yard, dispelling pair of lesser efforts following 6 months off when landing 10-runner C&D handicap 2 weeks ago, keeping on gamely. Respected up 6 lb with a repeat. Rebounded in C&D contest two weeks ago, making it three wins from his last five starts.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 +36%) Royal Rhythm		7 7/1(+36%)																															(3) Royal Rhythm 7/1, Twice successful on soft/heavy last winter and possibly had drying ground against him after 6 months off when fifth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Fallen back down to last winning mark and not dismissed with conditions in his favour. Won off this mark at Wetherby last Boxing Day; good chance granted a return to form.
5	5 |PU| (5) (33/1 +0%) I Have A Voice		33 33/1(+0%)																															(5) I Have A Voice 33/1, Won twice in juvenile hurdles in 2022/23 season but well below that level in 3 handicaps last season. Has had wind surgery ahead of reappearance. Best watched unless the betting hints otherwise. Poor form last term; chance depends on whether summer wind surgery has helped.
9	9 |PU| (9) (150/1 -200%) Skeeter Park		150 150/1(-200%)																															(9) Skeeter Park 150/1, Pulled up both starts in Irish points and no better than modest form over hurdles for Mick Appleby during 2023. Has it to prove back from 15 months off now starting out for new stable. 7yo maiden; returns from 15-month absence and makes debut for new yard.

HARA KIRI showed no ill-effects when returning from a long absence last season, improving on a C&D third to win both subsequent outings at Market Rasen and Ludlow. The handicapper put him up 2lb for the latest of those wins and it wouldn't be a surprise if the seven-year-old hasn't reached his ceiling of ability yet. Double Click showed a fair level of form earlier in the year and conditions are unlikely to be an issue, while Activist has to be respected too.

This looks a pretty warm race for the grade with HARA KIRI narrowly selected to pick up where he left off 9 months ago and complete the hat-trick with his yard continuing in good order. Kuzco rates a likely improver now handicapping and he needs monitoring in the betting for positive vibes. Double Click, for the in-form Jamie Snowden yard, and Activist complete the dangers.

Back down in distance off an attractive mark, SNAPIUS is preferred. Interesting handicap debutant Kuzco is second choice.

1	12 1st (12) (20/1 +20%) O'connell		20 20/1(+20%)																															(12) O'connell 20/1, Winning Irish pointer who got off the mark in handicap chase at Market Rasen a year ago. Made the frame next 4 starts before shaping as if needing comeback run here. Strong traveller who doesn't always find much off the bridle. A case can be made on last season's form and he may have needed his reappearance run.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/1 +50%) Fortunate Man		5 5/1(+50%)																															(7) Fortunate Man 5/1, €210,000 buy after winning an Irish point in April and successful on 2 of his 3 completed starts over hurdles last season. Given a considerate chasing debut here on return and expected to leave that well behind in due course. Merely mid-division over 2m4f here on chase debut but a possible improver now up in trip.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 -29%) Illico De Cotte		4.5 9/2(-29%)																															(3) Illico De Cotte 9/2, Irish point/maiden hurdle winner who showed much-improved form when making a winning chase bow here (26f) on return 5 weeks ago, forging clear. Can go on to better things as a chaser. Improved to win here on chase debut & this lightly raced 6yo could have lots more to offer.
4	4 4th (4) (9/2 +18%) Come On Teddy		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(4) Come On Teddy 9/2, Not matched useful form of a 2021/22 season back from lengthy absence last term but went close back over fences at Exeter final start despite the trip being barely adequate. Starts the new campaign potentially well handicapped for new yard. Ran well when last seen and respected on first start for the up-and-coming Harry Derham.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 -50%) Ned Tanner		12 12/1(-50%)																															(10) Ned Tanner 12/1, Dual winner at Kelso as a novice. Progress stalled last season but he shaped well at Kelso on return and is now 3 lb below last winning mark. Shaped as though he needed his reappearance; each-way contender off a handy mark.
6th	1 6th (1) (66/1 -100%) Crosspark		66 66/1(-100%)																															(1) Crosspark 66/1, Been a cracking servant over the years and ended a long losing when landing a veterans' event at Huntingdon on return last season. Just touched off at Market Rasen next time before excuses at Newbury final start. However, rising 15 now and vulnerable to improvers. 14yo who made winning reappearance last season; no surprise to see a bold bid.
7th	6 7th (6) (11/2 +8%) Jacks Parrot		5.5 11/2(+8%)																															(6) Jacks Parrot 11/2, Has improved since joining this yard, winning at Uttoxeter and Perth in April. Usual tongue tie left off on return but he's open to further improvement over fences. Won two in April and this half-brother to stable star Iroko is open to further improvement.
8th	9 8th (9) (33/1 -136%) Shighness		33 33/1(-136%)																															(9) Shighness 33/1, Consistent performer over hurdles and got off the mark at the fourth time of asking in this sphere in 4-runner Catterick handicap (25.2f, soft) in February. Ended campaign with good second at Wetherby so not taken lightly on return. Second at Wetherby in March when cheekpieces were added; might not be far away on return.
2	2 |PU| (2) (9/2 +31%) Choosethenews		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(2) Choosethenews 9/2, Point/hurdles winner who has made a bright start over fences, showing a likeable attitude when opening his account at Newcastle (20f, heavy) in April. Excellent second at Wetherby on return and should have more to offer still up in trip. Consistent across his five chase starts; goes up in trip today but won a point over 3m.
5	5 |PU| (5) (25/1 -150%) Wasdell Dundalk		25 25/1(-150%)																															(5) Wasdell Dundalk 25/1, Done well since joining this yard, bagging a fifth success since last summer when landing 5-runner handicap chase over C&D in October. Denied another frame finish by a luckless exit here since and remains of interest. Won over C&D in October and bang in contention when falling two out here last time.
8	8 |PU| (8) (33/1 -230%) Busty Boy		33 33/1(-230%)																															(8) Busty Boy 33/1, Successful on 3 of his 4 starts in Irish points so no surprise he left hurdles form behind when making a winning chase debut at Kelso on return last season. Upped his game further when going close at Perth last 2 starts so warrants respect on return. Went close on final two outings in the spring; thereabouts if resuming where he left off.
11	11 |PU| (11) (40/1 -60%) Champ Royal		40 40/1(-60%)																															(11) Champ Royal 40/1, Much improved since joining Susan Corbett, scoring 4 times (at up to 25.3f) over hurdles last season. However, hasn't taken to chasing in 2 starts, including when last seen in May. Posted a hat-trick over hurdles last season but has something to prove in this discipline.

An impressive winner over further on his chase debut here in October, ILLICO DE COTTE seemed to benefit from wind surgery over the summer and a 7lb rise for that success could prove lenient as he looks to go in again. The hat-trick seeking Jacks Parrot has done extremely well since joining new connections from France and he is a key player, along with Busty Boy, who has finished runner-up on his last three outings.

COME ON TEDDY starts the new campaign potentially well handicapped for his new yard so could be the answer. Illico de Cotte looked a natural when making a winning start over fences here on return and is the obvious threat, while the progressive Choosethenews should relish the step up in trip.

The 5yo JACKS PARROT is a half-brother to star stablemate Iroko and could have lots more left in the tank.

Career best when winning 4-runner novice chase at this course (24.6f, good, 2/5) on debut over fences 26 days ago, keeping on well. Needs more.

Highly experienced novice, got the new campaign off to a fine start at Wexford, big chance.

Jumped well and impressed generally on chasing debut at Down Royal, pick of stable quartet.

Two wins from three starts over fences, faller in between, won Cork Grade 3 event readily.

HEART WOOD is very experienced over fences compared to a number of his rivals and sets a fair standard. The selection, who won a valuable 2m5f handicap at Leopardstown in February and also beat Corbetts Cross in decisive fashion on his reappearance at Wexford, can take advantage of his novice status being stretched out to this weekend. Firefox is the choice of Jack Kennedy from four Gordon Elliott runners and having been placed in Grade 1 novice hurdles at all the big spring Festival meetings, comfortably landed the odds on his chasing debut at Down Royal. Shecouldbeanything is on a five-timer and won't lack for experience while Gorgeous Tom won a Grade 3 in good style over this trip at Cork.

FIREFOX was smart and super reliable as a hurdler and looked a natural at the first attempt over fences, so he's preferred to Heart Wood, who has the best form over fences and more experience. Gorgeous Tom is the pick of the others in a fascinating Grade 1.

Henry de Bromhead's HEART WOOD has the merit of considerable experience and may prove too strong for Gordon Elliott's quartet

INDEEVAR BLEU looked a potentially smart prospect when winning his bumper at Wetherby in March 2023 before not fulfilling that promise on his only run over hurdles at Ayr last November against some useful types. Returning from over a year off the track, Olly Murphy's gelding has been found the ideal opportunity to open his account over timber. Sonification is expected to step forward from his Uttoxeter run, given that was his first for almost two years, and he is respected along with Stratford bumper runner-up Scene Stealer.

INDEEVAR BLEU shaped well on hurdling debut and has the scope for a good deal of improvement based on bumper exploits, so he's a straightforward choice despite having to overcome a 13-month absence. Sonifaction is the main threat.

Indeevar Bleu warrants respect despite the lengthy absence. SONIFICATION is the other main contender on hurdles form.

1	6 1st (6) (5/4 +44%) To Chase A Dream		1.25 5/4(+44%)																															(6) To Chase A Dream 5/4, Off the mark at Doncaster (19.4f) in March and picked up where he left off, back from 8-month absence, when taking 11-runner handicap hurdle at this course (17.2f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Raised 5 lb since but looks sure to go well again. Won over C&D on handicap/seasonal debut and every chance he'll continue to progress.

4	8 4th (8) (66/1 -100%) Hourless		66 66/1(-100%)																															(8) Hourless 66/1, Dual winner over hurdles last year. Back from 11 months off when unseating rider (looked to be coming to end of his tether) at this course 20 days ago and others hold more appeal. 1 lb out of the handicap. Just in front when unseating 3 out over C&D, having been headstrong; may be best watched.
5th	2 5th (2) (13/2 -30%) Red Dirt Road		6.5 13/2(-30%)																															(2) Red Dirt Road 13/2, Won 2 of his 5 starts (at up to 16.7f) over hurdles and posted good second of 7 in handicap at Warwick (21f) when last seen 18 months ago. Returns on a fair mark and must enter calculations, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Returns from a long layoff but he's on a good mark if retaining his ability; check betting.
6th	7 6th (7) (6/1 0%) Bertie's Ballet		6 6/1(0%)																															(7) Bertie's Ballet 6/1, Dual bumper scorer who reached a fairly useful level over hurdles last season, winning once from 5 starts having kept good company. Shaped much better than on return when third in Wetherby handicap (19.7f, good) last month and is 2 lb lower now. Respected. Promising novice last term; needs another step back in right direction but that's possible.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 +17%) Pembroke		5 5/1(+17%)																															(1) Pembroke 5/1, Useful novice chaser last term but form dipped towards the end of the season and he was unable to land a blow on return in this sphere at Ffos Las (15.8f, soft) 49 days ago. Others more convincing. Sixth in Welsh Champion Hurdle on reappearance and could improve for it; drops in grade.
8th	5 8th (5) (10/3 -11%) Jackpot D'athou		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(5) Jackpot D'athou 10/3, Bagged 2 of his first 3 starts over hurdles last term but came in last on his handicap debut at Ayr in April and made a disappointing return at Kempton last month. No surprise to see headgear reached for. Well beaten in both h'caps but perhaps cheekpieces will help him tap into earlier promise.

RED DIRT ROAD still looks like a handicapper with plenty of upside for connections and dropping back in trip may be a good move on his return. The seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of To Chase A Dream, who was a determined winner over C&D in October and aims to land the hat-trick on this occasion. Bertie's Ballet and Jackpot D'athou are not to be ruled out either.

Preference is for TO CHASE A DREAM, who has done little wrong in half a dozen starts over timber and remains feasibly treated. Bertie's Ballet and Red Dirt Road are feared most.

Topweight PEMBROKE is well handicapped on his chase form and could build upon his reappearance sixth in the Welsh Champion Hurdle.

1	4 1st (4) (4/7 +48%) Lossiemouth		0.571429 4/7(+48%)																															(4) Lossiemouth 4/7, Unlucky when suffering her only defeat and underlined what a top-class mare she is when easily winning Grade 1s for her own sex at Cheltenham and Punchestown in the spring. Looks more than capable of making her presence felt in top open company. Not seriously tested in three-race campaign last season, Teahupoo is a formidable opponent.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/8 -79%) Teahupoo		1.625 13/8(-79%)																															(3) Teahupoo 13/8, High-class hurdler who landed this race for second consecutive season before landing Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. Didn't need to be at very best when landing Punchestown Grade 1 in May and likely to prove a tough nut to crack again (goes especially well fresh). Top stayer, unbeaten in three Grade 1s last season, third win in this race is on the cards.
3	1 3rd (1) (25/1 +24%) Beacon Edge		25 25/1(+24%)																															(1) Beacon Edge 25/1, Very smart hurdler/chaser. Course winner. Didn't need to improve to win 4-runner West Yorkshire Hurdle (9/4) at Wetherby (24.1f, good) 29 days ago by 2½ lengths from Twig. However, he looks vulnerable on these terms back in Grade 1 company. Grade 2 Wetherby winner last time, not in the same league as stablemate Teahupoo.
4	2 4th (2) (50/1 -25%) Maxxum		50 50/1(-25%)																															(2) Maxxum 50/1, Smart hurdler. Six wins from 22 NH runs, the latest in listed handicap at Punchestown (23.5f) in May. However, disconcerting he stopped very quickly on return from 6 months off when tailed-off last of 8 to Home By The Lee in Lismullen Hurdle at Navan (20.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Useful handicap hurdler last season, staying type, making up the numbers for Elliott team.

This looks a virtual match with LOSSIEMOUTH getting slight preference over Teahupoo. The Willie Mullins-trained mare was a star juvenile winning the Triumph Hurdle and also scored at Grade 1 level in Punchestown. She made a belated return last term and progressed again winning impressively on all three starts. The selection may just have a better turn off foot than Teahupoo who is bidding to complete a hat-trick in this race having beaten the odds-on Impaire Et Passe 12 months ago before going on to land the Stayers Hurdle at both Cheltenham and Punchestown. The other two runners have a bit to find on figures, but Beacon Edge comes here off the back of a Grade 2 win at Wetherby.

TEAHUPOO and Lossiemouth bring some mightily impressive form figures to the table and comfortably rate the pair to focus on, with the former narrowly selected to come out on top in his bid to land this contest for the third consecutive season. Willie Mullins' mare commands the utmost respect also, and she's very much unexposed at this trip.

A fascinating duel in prospect. Preference for TEAHUPOO is marginal in the face of the 7lb sex allowance enjoyed by Lossiemouth

1	7 1st (7) (14/1 -115%) Jumper Madrik		14 14/1(-115%)																															(7) Jumper Madrik 14/1, From good French family but tailed off in novice/maiden hurdles. Up in trip for handicap/chase debut. Thrice-raced 5yo who is owned by JP McManus; possible improver on handicap/chase debut.
2	8 2nd (8) (2/1 +40%) Lunar Ocean		2 2/1(+40%)																															(8) Lunar Ocean 2/1, Bettered hurdles form when runner-up both starts for this yard over fences, though was most irresolute under pressure. Has the ability to defy this sort of mark but is clearly risky, Good second in both starts since joining new yard and switched to fences; respected.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 -11%) Gavroche D'allier		5 5/1(-11%)																															(4) Gavroche D'allier 5/1, Consistent rather than progressive over hurdles in 2022/23 but is an interesting runner returning from lay-off for bigger yard. 8yo maiden; returns from long absence and makes debut for new yard; market helpful.
4	9 4th (9) (28/1 +58%) Ceejaybe		28 28/1(+58%)																															(9) Ceejaybe 28/1, Poor maiden hurdler who is easy to oppose on chase bow. Chase debutant who is far from solid on 2024 form.
5th	2 5th (2) (12/1 -140%) Brother Boris		12 12/1(-140%)																															(2) Brother Boris 12/1, Showed ability in a bumper and 2 hurdles in the spring. Shaped as if needing the run at Sandown on return and no surprise to see him do better over fences given his physique/pedigree. May be capable of improvement now handicapping and switched to fences.
6th	5 6th (5) (25/1 0%) J'habite En France		25 25/1(0%)																															(5) J'habite En France 25/1, Regressive over hurdles and went with no encouragement sent chasing after 5 months off at Stratford. Headgear on. Pulled up in both runs this term; addition of blinkers needs to help.
3	3 |PU| (3) (5/1 +29%) Libor Lad		5 5/1(+29%)																															(3) Libor Lad 5/1, Winner of 2½m handicap hurdles in the mud at Uttoxeter and Doncaster last winter. Ended last season with a couple of poor efforts but made a promising first effort over fences when second at Stratford on return. Easy to forgive next start so not taken lightly. Two contrasting results switched to fences this term, better effort on reappearance.
6	6 |PU| (6) (14/1 +65%) Totowolfe		14 14/1(+65%)																															(6) Totowolfe 14/1, Irish point winner who has shown little since shaping with some encouragement on his hurdling debut. Makes chase bow. May improve for this switch to chasing, being a point winner.
10	10 |PU| (10) (150/1 -88%) Getaway Tothe Wood		150 150/1(-88%)																															(10) Getaway Tothe Wood 150/1, No show over hurdles. Off 13 months. Makes chase/handicap debut. Poor claims on hurdles form; 7lb out of weights on chase debut.

LUNAR OCEAN lost little in defeat when finding only a subsequent winner too strong at Huntingdon last month and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. A 2lb rise looks more than workable for Billy Aprahamian's gelding and he should take all the beating if coping with softer ground conditions. Libor Lad was too bad to be true when pulled up at Bangor in October and this right-handed track should see him in a better light given the six-year-old's inclination to jump that way. Market support for chase/handicap debutant Jumper Madrik would be interesting.

JAC JUMPER failed to see out the longer trip at Huntingdon 4 weeks ago so is well worth another chance back down in class. Libor Lad is worth another chance to confirm chase debut promise so is next best ahead of the quirky Lunar Ocean.

In-form maiden LUNAR OCEAN looks a particularly solid contender on recent efforts. Jac Jumper is second choice.

1	8 1st (8) (40/1 -150%) Gipsy Lee Rose		40 40/1(-150%)																															(8) Gipsy Lee Rose 40/1, Hit the target twice last season, taking a small-field 2½m Newcastle handicap (heavy) in March. Easy to back and probably needed the run when pulled up at Hexham (24.2f) 3 weeks ago and significant step up required on that if she's to feature. Pulled up on reappearance but may have needed the run; won twice last term; not discounted.
2	11 2nd (11) (14/1 +0%) Croagh Patrick		14 14/1(+0%)																															(11) Croagh Patrick 14/1, On a long losing run and hasn't showed enough in three starts since returning from a mid-summer break to make him of interest here. Blinkers back on in place of visor. Course winner who continues to tumble down the weights, but for good reason.
3	6 3rd (6) (10/3 +39%) Dusautior		3.333333 10/3(+39%)																															(6) Dusautior 10/3, Won 3m novice handicap chase at Bangor in April and posted easily his best effort since when third of 13 in handicap chase at Ffos Las (23.8f, good to soft, 9/1) 21 days ago, challenging from 4 out and plugging on latter stages. One to consider on the back of that. Returned to form when third at Ffos Las three weeks ago and could build on that run.
4	13 4th (13) (9/1 +36%) Gibberwell		9 9/1(+36%)																															(13) Gibberwell 9/1, Infrequent winner who ran creditably following 6 months off when third of 9 in handicap chase (12/1) at Hexham (24.2f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Needs to pull out more if he's to resume winning ways here, however. Hint of encouragement in his comeback run and he's well treated on last season's best form.
5th	9 5th (9) (6/1 +57%) Don Brocco		6 6/1(+57%)																															(9) Don Brocco 6/1, Dual winner over hurdles back in 2022. 0-10 and more miss than hit over fences last season but entitled to strip fitter for last month's reappearance effort over hurdles here (24.6f). Returns to chasing operating from career low mark. 0-10 over fences but on a competitive mark and holds each-way possibilities.
6th	4 6th (4) (10/1 -122%) Torosay		10 10/1(-122%)																															(4) Torosay 10/1, Showed ability over hurdles and really got the hang of things over fences during the spring, running out an emphatic winner at first crack at 3m at Hexham in April. 10 lb higher on return but she's totally unexposed over staying trips. Won by 13l at Hexham in April when last seen; in good hands to continue to progress.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 -250%) Pawpaw		14 14/1(-250%)																															(7) Pawpaw 14/1, Unreliable sort but again put his best foot forward when resumed winning ways in 7-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (26f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Needs to back it up now up 6 lb. Very inconsistent this season but won at Fontwell last time with these cheekpieces back on.
8th	10 8th (10) (9/2 +68%) Toombridge		4.5 9/2(+68%)																															(10) Toombridge 9/2, Runner-up in an Irish point and posted his best run under Rules to date when third of 6 on handicap chase debut here (20.9f) in March. However, not scaled same heights in 3 subsequent outings, seventh of 12 in handicap at Ayr 4 weeks ago. Up in trip. Has course form and is on a reduced mark, but 0-11 and claims aren't overly compelling.
2	2 |U| (2) (10/1 -100%) Clovis Boy		10 10/1(-100%)																															(2) Clovis Boy 10/1, Twice a winner over hurdles last season, doing well to run down a couple of more prominently-ridden ones in a falsely-run race at Newcastle final start. Must be respected now sent chasing for stable continuing amongst the winners. Two hurdle wins last term and trainer's horses frequently improve for the switch to fences.
12	12 |PU| (12) (9/1 +55%) Iturgeon Du Breuil		9 9/1(+55%)																															(12) Iturgeon Du Breuil 9/1, Placed on second of 2 starts in points. Improved on previous hurdles exploits when placed in pair of handicaps in the spring but hasn't kicked on subsequently. Switch to chasing needs to spark some improvement. 0-9 over hurdles; placed in a point; not out of the question that he'll improve for fences.
5	5 |PU| (5) (20/1 +39%) Low Mileage		20 20/1(+39%)																															(5) Low Mileage 20/1, Fairly maiden chaser in Ireland but not shown much in 2 chase tries (8 months apart) for present stable, latterly when tenth of 15 in handicap chase at this course (20f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Has it to prove stepping back up in trip. Remains a maiden but may have needed latest run and this test of stamina may suit.
3	3 |PU| (3) (25/1 -25%) Uptown Harry		25 25/1(-25%)																															(3) Uptown Harry 25/1, Regular here who capitalised on falling mark over 24.5f in March. Hasn't scaled same heights either outing since, well-beaten on the back of 7 months off when thirteenth of 15 in handicap chase (50/1) at this course (20f) 38 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Inconsistent 10yo but last two wins have come here and he may leave reappearance behind.
1	1 |PU| (1) (40/1 -186%) Hold The Note		40 40/1(-186%)																															(1) Hold The Note 40/1, Course winner who has a very patchy record, pulled up on 3 of last 4 starts, latterly at Perth (23.8f) in April. Reportedly returned lame then and he needs to hit the ground running returning from 7 months off. Good runs are scarce nowadays but he seems to like it here so is worth a second look.

Pawpaw warrants respect after regaining the winning thread at Fontwell last month. However, the seven-year-old is effectively 9lb higher in the ratings now that Caoilin Quinn has gone through his 3lb claim and chasing debutant CLOVIS BOY edges the vote. Lucinda Russell's charge capped off his novice hurdling campaign with a victory over an extended 2m7f at Newcastle and he looks just the type to relish this longer 3m2f distance. The selection's stablemate Torosay also merits consideration.

CLOVIS BOY ended last season with a career-best success over hurdles at Newcastle in the spring and, now going chasing with his yard firmly amongst the winners, he could be worth chancing to make the perfect start. Stablemate Torosay was another who ended last season on the up over fences and she's a threat. Dusautior and Pawpaw are others to consider.

A chance is taken on GIBBERWELL, who ran well for a long way on his return to action at Hexham and is on an attractive mark.

1	15 1st (15) (4/1 +33%) Washington		4 4/1(+33%)																															(15) Washington 4/1, Capitalised on much reduced mark after 11 months off/following wind surgery when making a winning debut for Harry Denham in 7-runner Chepstow handicap (2m) 51 days ago. Nudged up only 3 lb and he's an interesting runner here. Odds-on winner at Chepstow on stable debut after almost a year off, intriguing runner.
2	6 2nd (6) (13/2 +46%) Enniskerry		6.5 13/2(+46%)																															(6) Enniskerry 13/2, Smart winner at 18f in chases. Lower in weights in this sphere and returned with a respectable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 29 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Each-way possibilities. Fair sixth at Down Royal on his return to hurdling, needs to turn the tables on Telecon.
3	13 3rd (13) (14/1 +30%) Media Naranja		14 14/1(+30%)																															(13) Media Naranja 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 7/1, got back on track following 5 months off when respectable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Enters calculations. Failed to win last season but often ran well, Navan fourth was encouraging after a break.
4	2 4th (2) (25/1 -79%) Suprise Package		25 25/1(-79%)																															(2) Suprise Package 25/1, Useful hurdler (won 2022 Imperial Cup) who resumed winning ways on the Flat at Ballinrobe (12.8f) in July but failed to beat a rival in pair of outings in that sphere subsequently. Return to timber needs to perk him up considerably. 2022 Imperial Cup hero, in rear in two Flat handicaps in the autumn, hard to be confident.
5th	9 5th (9) (8/1 +33%) Icare Desbois		8 8/1(+33%)																															(9) Icare Desbois 8/1, Bit below form 13½ lengths ninth of 15 to Frankendael in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) 65 days ago, weakening from 2 out. Needs to get back on track following a 2-month break. Plenty to find with Frankendael on Listowel form, merits respect as the yard's only runner.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 +0%) Glan		20 20/1(+0%)																															(7) Glan 20/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Listowel (9f, good to soft) 69 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles but others make greater appeal on balance. Won a big handicap hurdle over C&D at the 2022 Easter festival, out of form this year.
7th	8 7th (8) (9/2 +31%) So Scottish		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(8) So Scottish 9/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 18 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Galway (22.5f, soft) 120 days ago, faring best of those held up. Tongue strap back on and he's likely to be competitive again back down in trip. Useful chaser, comes into the reckoning on the basis of a good hurdles run at Galway.
8th	4 8th (4) (15/2 -7%) Volantis		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(4) Volantis 15/2, C&D winner. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle (4/1) at Galway (16f, soft) 121 days ago, not clear run before 2 out and produced to lead on line. Remains lightly raced and his profile in handicaps is a positive. Winning favourite by a short head in a valuable 2m Galway contest, 8lb higher, kept fresh.
9th	12 9th (12) (16/1 +36%) Effernock Fizz		16 16/1(+36%)																															(12) Effernock Fizz 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle here in March. Sixth of 7 in minor event at Dundalk (10.7f, 80/1) 16 days ago. Entitled to be sharper given that was her first start for 5 months but others appeal more in any case. Heavily raced and versatile, back on the same mark as when C&D 33-1 winner in March.
10th	3 10th (3) (22/1 -10%) Hms Seahorse		22 22/1(-10%)																															(3) Hms Seahorse 22/1, C&D winner who was best excused the run when last of 5 in minor event hurdle at Thurles (23f, soft) last autumn, found to be amiss post-race. Absent since and the market can prove a useful guide as to expectations back from 13 months off. Has a long absence to overcome and this looks a tough task against that background.
11th	10 11th (10) (15/2 -114%) Frankendael		7.5 15/2(-114%)																															(10) Frankendael 15/2, Fairly useful Flat winner who proved upwardly mobile over hurdles this summer, off the mark in a Ballinrobe maiden and following up impressive on handicap debut at Listowel (2m) in September. Good third on Flat at Gowran in October and likely there's more to come back in this sphere. Raised 10lb for valuable Listowel win, further progress possible, fair Flat run last month.
12th	14 12th (14) (8/1 +43%) Cappucino		8 8/1(+43%)																															(14) Cappucino 8/1, 2 wins from 2 runs this season. 10/11, career best when winning 10-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.3f, good) 46 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and feasible to think there's further progress in the offing. Not taken lightly. Backed up Listowel bumper win with a maiden hurdle success at Punchestown, progressive.
11	11 |PU| (11) (80/1 +20%) Little Mixup		80 80/1(+20%)																															(11) Little Mixup 80/1, Struggling for form over hurdles this summer and not took to chasing in trio of starts in October, refusing at the second for the latest of them at Galway. Return to timber needs to have positive effect now. Four-time hurdles winner, may need confidence boosted after chasing mishaps in October.

TELECON has been lightly raced since winning over C&D on the Irish Grand National card last year and ran a cracker when reappearing at Down Royal last time. The Mark Fahey-trained gelding was very weak in the market but finished well to take third behind Kala Conti despite meeting some interference and making a mistake at the last. Volantis is also a course winner and rates a serious threat having overcome plenty of trouble in running when successful last time at the Galway Festival. So Scottish is quite versatile in terms of trip and has also been absent since narrowly denied over 2m6f at Galway this summer, while Washington overcame a lengthy absence when successful on his first start for Harry Derham at Chepstow.

Typically competitive fair in which a chance is taken on British-raider WASHINGTON. He capitalised on a much-reduced mark and justified strong support in the process at Chepstow in October and a 3 lb rise should see Harry Denham's 8-y-o competitive once more. Frankendael heads up the dangers given his positive profile, ahead of Telecon. So Scottish and Volantis complete the shortlist.

An open race and EFFERNOCK FIZZ who warmed up with a recent run on the Flat, is a speculative each-way selection.

1	2 1st (2) (11/8 -10%) Barra Blue		1.375 11/8(-10%)																															(2) Barra Blue 11/8, Promise on first of 2 starts in bumpers. Comfortably held over hurdles to date but very much the type to do better now handicapping upn in trip. Could turn things around now she's qualified for a mark and dropped into a weak field.
2	1 2nd (1) (16/1 -540%) Near Dark		16 16/1(-540%)																															(1) Near Dark 16/1, Point winner in April 2022 and left previous hurdling efforts behind when third in a novice at Uttoxeter on debut for this yard five months ago. Could build on that now handicapping. Placed at Uttoxeter on last appearance; possibilities on handicap/stable debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/6 +58%) Gaia Vallis		0.833333 5/6(+58%)																															(4) Gaia Vallis 5/6, It's been a while since her last victory but she has posted some creditable efforts in defeat, including when second at Plumpton on return. May strip fitter for it and another solid showing seems likely. The only course winner in this field and is attractively handicapped; fighting chance.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 +70%) Porridge		20 20/1(+70%)																															(5) Porridge 20/1, Fourth on sole outing in points but has yet to show any ability under Rules and looks up against it again. Modest third at Fakenham on handicap debut; again well out of the weights.
3	3 |PU| (3) (20/1 +0%) Dreaming Diamond		20 20/1(+0%)																															(3) Dreaming Diamond 20/1, Bumper winner but didn't kick on over hurdles and well held so far for this yard. Back over hurdles. Inconsistent since winning a bumper over two years ago; new headgear needs to help.

NEAR DARK seemed to appreciate making the running when third on her only start for Henry Daly at Uttoxeter in June and similar tactics on her handicap debut might see the eight-year-old gain a first success under Rules. Barra Blue showed ability in a couple of bumpers and has to be of interest along with recent Plumpton second Gaia Vallis.

BARRA BLUE has shown minimal promise over hurdles to date but she's up in trip for handicap debut and, based on her hurdling debut, she's potentially thrown in off a mark of 85. She's preferred to the in-form but more exposed Gaia Vallis, while Near Dark is another one to note having her first go in handicaps.

Handicap debutantes Barra Blue and Near Dark are interesting. GAIA VALLIS is far more exposed but she's respected on form.

1	4 1st (4) (8/1 +20%) Camberwell		8 8/1(+20%)																															(4) Camberwell 8/1, €25,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Half-brother to fair hurdler The Priests Leap, stays 2¼m. fifth sole start in Irish points (Mar 2024). Close fifth in Irish maiden point; Irish trainer won this last year; interesting.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/4 -69%) Big Bert		2.75 11/4(-69%)																															(2) Big Bert 11/4, €23,000 3-y-o, £48,000 4-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Dam, well held in bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Resolution Bay. Beat only other finisher sole start in points (Mar 2024). Starts out under Rules for a thriving stable. British maiden point winner who has joined good yard following £48,000 sale.
3	7 3rd (7) (13/8 +64%) Maximum Offers		1.625 13/8(+64%)																															(7) Maximum Offers 13/8, €40,000 3-y-o, £105,000 4-y-o, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to multiple jumps winner in USA Two's Company and useful hurdler/chaser Scorpion Sid. Runner-up only outing in Irish points (Nov 2023). Stable does well with similar types in this sphere and he's a most notable newcomer. Sold for £105,000 after going very close in Irish maiden point; new trainer in fine form.
4	10 4th (10) (4/1 -45%) Strolling Along		4 4/1(-45%)																															(10) Strolling Along 4/1, £115,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/chase winner (stayed 2¾m) She Ranks Me. One to note based on connections. £115,000 3yo who has potential in his pedigree; from top yard and firmly in calculations.
5th	9 5th (9) (17/2 +15%) Peckforton Hills		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(9) Peckforton Hills 17/2, Youmzain gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/top-class chaser Ballyoisin. Worthy of respect on debut based on breeding, acknowledging he might need some time. In-form yard doesn't have many bumper runners but 6-19 record in such races catches eye.
6th	3 6th (3) (22/1 +12%) Bogleyburn		22 22/1(+12%)																															(3) Bogleyburn 22/1, Modest form in 2 bumpers this time last year, put in his place in a match over C&D when last seen 12 months ago. Has something to find. Has shown ability but he returns from an absence with improvement needed.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 +34%) King Kodiak		33 33/1(+34%)																															(5) King Kodiak 33/1, Arctic Cosmos gelding. Dam unraced, from family of very smart 2m/2½m chaser The Outback Way. Likely to need time. 2,800euros foal; fifth foal; dam unraced; probably best watched on debut.
8th	6 8th (6) (200/1 -100%) Lord Fortescue		200 200/1(-100%)																															(6) Lord Fortescue 200/1, Related to a bumper winner but showed nothing on debut 7 months ago. Hard to fancy. Half-brother to two winners but he was tailed off at 50-1 on his debut at Perth in April.

Bespoke Tailor has filled the runner-up berth at Perth and then Ayr and Ewan Whillans' charge is forecast to give another good account. With that being said, there are some interesting newcomers on show and STROLLING ALONG tops the bill. The son of Walk In The Park was a 115,000-pound purchase and he could land this en route to better things. Point-to-pointers Big Bert and Maximum Offers are others to note.

MAXIMUM OFFERS fetched six figures after showing plenty between the flags and his new yard should have him sufficiently forward to go well here, so he's preferred to fellow ex-pointer Big Bert, with Strolling Along also appealing on paper.

The selective approach of the Greenall/Guerriero yard in bumpers has yielded a 32% strike-rate and PECKFORTON HILLS is the pick.

Won sole start in points (Mar 2024). Looks first choice on jockey bookings and is the one to beat. Made 300,000GBP after points' debut win; has to be respected.
1	2 1st (2) (15/8 +32%) Koktail Brut		1.875 15/8(+32%)																															(2) Koktail Brut 15/8, €40,000 3-y-o, €250,000 4-y-o, Cokoriko gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Gevrey and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Dis Donc. Beat only other finisher sole start in points (Apr 14). Obvious player. 250,000euros buy after points' win in April; also due to run here yesterday.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 +79%) Mossy Way		3.333333 10/3(+79%)																															(3) Mossy Way 10/3, Alkaadhem gelding. Dam (h92) maiden hurdler (stayed 21f). Worth a market check. Newcomer from well-respected source, market likely good guide.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/8 +31%) Unknown Entity		1.375 11/8(+31%)																															(5) Unknown Entity 11/8, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 17 in bumper (evens) at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Can improve. Underwhelming favourite at Punchestown festival, could have matured over the summer.
4	4 4th (4) (12/1 +45%) Reinado		12 12/1(+45%)																															(4) Reinado 12/1, Jet Away gelding. Dam poor form over hurdles. Not very inspiring on pedigree. Debutant likely all the better for the experience.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 +39%) Yoursimplythebest		20 20/1(+39%)																															(8) Yoursimplythebest 20/1, Jukebox Jury filly. Dam (h89), bumper winner, half-sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Supreme Carolina out of 2m-2¼m hurdle winner Carolina. Unlikely one to make an immediate impact but worth a look in the market.
6th	6 6th (6) (50/1 +0%) Dollymount		50 50/1(+0%)																															(6) Dollymount 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in bumper at Tipperary (16.2f, good to soft, 14/1) on NH debut 56 days ago. Didn't count on Tipperary debut two months ago, hard to fancy.
7th	7 7th (7) (66/1 +34%) Shine Bright		66 66/1(+34%)																															(7) Shine Bright 66/1, Diamond Boy filly. Dam (c118/h116) 2m-21f hurdle/chase winner. Others make more appeal. Cheaply bought Diamond Boy filly; newcomer best watched.

Gordon Elliott has won this race three times in the past six years, and HE CAN'T DANCE may provide the Cullentra yard with another victory. The Jukebox Jury gelding beat Meetmebythesea in a Monksgrange point-to-point and the runner-up gave that form a timely boost when scoring on his debut under Rules in a Ludlow maiden hurdle this week. The selection was snapped up by current connections for 300,000 pounds at Aintree. Unknown Entity is an obvious threat and has losses to recover after finishing fourth behind the useful Sixandahalf at the Punchestown Festival. The market may provide some clues to the relative merits of Mossy Way.

Gigginstown and Gordon Elliott have two expensive recruits from points who are likely to fight this out, with HE CAN'T DANCE taken to prevail over Koktail Brut. Unkown Entity could improve on his debut and isn't without hope.

Gigginstown Stud has some good bumper horses this season and could have another here with HE CAN'T DANCE

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.
