11:50 Carlisle Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (10/3 +33%) Here Comes Georgie	3.333333 10/3(+33%)	(5) Here Comes Georgie 10/3, Fourth only starts in bumpers and showed more than previously over hurdles when second in 15-runner novice at Catterick (19f) 23 days ago. Unlikely to be too far away with a repeat of that form. Mixed results over hurdles but ran well at Catterick most recently; in the mix.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 -100%) Cracking Rhapsody	6 6/1(-100%)	(1) Cracking Rhapsody 6/1, Won a small-field Perth bumper in June and struck at the first time of asking over hurdles in 2m Hexham novice in November. Has a penalty to shoulder but he looks capable of better. Scored at Hexham last month on hurdles debut, taking record to 2-4; respected.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/4 -22%) Beneficially Yours	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(2) Beneficially Yours 11/4, £80,000 purchase after winning his only start in Irish points (Feb 19). Has had wind surgery. Starts out over hurdles in a winnable race. Market confidence would look significant. Sold for £80,000 after Irish point win; possibilities on rules debut.
4	9 4th (9) (13/2 +46%) Wal Buck's	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(9) Wal Buck's 13/2, Fourth sole outing in Irish points and given a considerate introduction when fifth of 12 in a bumper here last month. Respected now going over hurdles for powerful owner. Caught the eye in bumper here on rules debut; should improve; interesting.
5th	7 5th (7) (5/2 +29%) Rob Roy Macgregor	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(7) Rob Roy Macgregor 5/2, Carlisle bumper winner in March. Could only manage fourth of 6 on his 2m Kelso hurdle debut in October but the fact he went off at 5/4 suggests better was anticipated. Returns to the scene of bumper debut win; may start to progress; still of interest.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/1 -13%) Kilta	9 9/1(-13%)	(6) Kilta 9/1, Fair in bumpers in Ireland and has shaped better than the result on both hurdling outings for current stable. Has a bigger performance in him soon. Has shown ability in bumpers and over hurdles; could go well.
7th	3 7th (3) (125/1 -89%) Call Me Jack	125 125/1(-89%)	(3) Call Me Jack 125/1, Down the field in 2 Doncaster bumpers last winter. Can only be watched now hurdling on return. Soundly beaten in two bumpers at Doncaster.
8th	10 8th (10) (200/1 -203%) Alanine	200 200/1(-203%)	(10) Alanine 200/1, Placed on first of 2 starts in points but showed only modest form at best on the Flat subsequently and fell first on last month's Sedgefield hurdle debut. Holds weak claims on form.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (33/1 -106%) Coco Loco	33 33/1(-106%)	(4) Coco Loco 33/1, Out of a Flat winner but pulled up in a juvenile hurdle at Wetherby on debut 10 months ago. Not seen since and hard to fancy. Has had a wind op/tongue tie goes on. Achieved nothing at Wetherby in February; had wind surgery since.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (150/1 -200%) Midnight Alnwicky	150 150/1(-200%)	(11) Midnight Alnwicky 150/1, Millenary mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Ruby Island, stays 2½m. Makes some appeal on paper but yard not associated with first-time-out winners. Half-sister to two winners; sole newcomer in the field; market can guide.

LTO Selection:

HERE COMES GEORGIE posted his best effort to date when runner-up at Catterick last month and a similar bid may see Patrick Neville's charge finish one place better. 80,000-pound purchase Beneficially Yours was a winner of his sole point-to-point over 3m and it will be interesting to see how he copes with this drop in distance on his Rules debut. The five-year-old is feared most, ahead of penalised hurdle winner Cracking Rhapsody.

The suggestion is Donald McCain Irish point recruit BENEFICIALLY YOURS, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Hexham-winner Cracking Rhapsody should go well despite the penalty, while the fact Rob Roy Macgregor went off a short price on his hurdle debut suggests he's well regarded by the Sandy Thomson team.

Back at the scene of his bumper win, ROB ROY MACGREGOR is given another chance. Wal Buck's is second choice.

11:50 Carlisle Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 17f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:00 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (2/1 -45%) Spread Boss Ted	2 2/1(-45%)	(5) Spread Boss Ted 2/1, Highly promising sort. Off 16 months, travelled well long way when sixth of 14 in maiden at Naas (18.9f, soft) on hurdles bow 35 days ago. Has plenty of scope to improve, possibly considerably so. Should improve a good deal for his Naas run and likely to go a good deal closer here.
2	6 2nd (6) (5/4 +17%) Teuchters Glory	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(6) Teuchters Glory 5/4, Fairly useful hurdler. 8/1, creditable second of 24 in maiden at Cork (16.8f, heavy) 7 days ago. Sets the standard. Runner-up over 2m1f at Cork last week; best at this trip and likely to take the beating.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +33%) Lucky Lyreen	2 2/1(+33%)	(3) Lucky Lyreen 2/1, Useful bumper winner. Off 8 months, fourth of 16 in maiden at this course (20f, heavy, 12/1) on hurdles bow 29 days ago, running on. Open to improvement. Drop back in trip a possible negative but respected in a race with such little depth.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 -186%) Lady Bresil	40 40/1(-186%)	(7) Lady Bresil 40/1, 2/1, tenth of 11 in bumper at Punchestown (18f, heavy, 2/1) on NH debut last December but the fact she went off at such a short price suggests she's thought capable of better. Switches to hurdles on return. Flopped on debut; likely best watched on her hurdles bow but one to watch with interest.
5th	4 5th (4) (125/1 -89%) Party Pack	125 125/1(-89%)	(4) Party Pack 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, seventeenth of 25 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 8 days ago. Soundly beaten in a pair of maiden hurdles at Tramore and here; hard to make a case for.
6th	2 6th (2) (150/1 -50%) Lispopple	150 150/1(-50%)	(2) Lispopple 150/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, sixth of 8 in bumper at Tramore (16.2f, soft) on bumper debut 19 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Down the field in a maiden hurdle here and a Tramore bumper; makes little appeal.
7th	1 7th (1) (150/1 -50%) Kilbride Hill	150 150/1(-50%)	(1) Kilbride Hill 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Fell in novice hurdle (150/1) at Listowel (16f, good) on NH debut. Off 15 months. Best watched on his return from 15 months off.

LTO Selection:

TEUCHTERS GLORY, who defeated Lucky Lyreen in a Limerick bumper earlier in the year, sets the standard with an official rating of 125. The son of Fame And Glory is expected to build on a promising second at Cork and open his account over hurdles, although the aforementioned looks a big danger for his leading yard. Spread Boss Ted weakened late on over 2m3f at Naas last time, but he could fare better now dropped in trip.

SPREAD BOSS TED could come on plenty for last month's comeback run at Naas and is taken to improve past the more-established Teuchters Glory. Lucky Lyreen is open to progress on the back of his hurdle debut fourth over a longer trip here and should also have a say.

Preference is for dual bumper winner TEUCHTERS GLORY whose maiden form is the most solid on show and he can take the beating

12:00 Navan Maiden Hurdle 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:10 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +64%) The Skiffle King	5 5/1(+64%)	(6) The Skiffle King 5/1, Equipped with first-time cheekpieces when getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap at Southwell in February. Good third at Huntingdon next time but struggled next 2 starts. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. Soft ground is a worry and he goes without the cheekpieces that were working well.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/2 +9%) Ali Star Bert	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(3) Ali Star Bert 5/2, Landed a gamble on just his second start over fences at Uttoxeter and impressive when following up at Chepstow (26.2f, good to soft) in February. Mixed record since but better than ever when resuming winning ways here (24f) 19 days ago. Versatile ground-wise and returns here after a return to form over 3m (heavy).
3	5 3rd (5) (7/4 +56%) Concrete King	1.75 7/4(+56%)	(5) Concrete King 7/4, Four-time winner between the flags but he's 0-14 under Rules. However, has fallen to a very attractive mark and took a step back in the right direction when third at Ffos Las last month. Tongue strap on 1st time. Ran well when beaten 10l at Ffos Las and the winner went in again this week.
4	1 4th (1) (11/2 -100%) Rostello	5.5 11/2(-100%)	(1) Rostello 11/2, Won twice over fences last season and resumed winning ways after 3 months off at Hexham 5 weeks ago. However, it wasn't a particularly likeable performance (again looked awkward off the bridle). Raised a fair 5lb for his Hexham win but consistency is not his forte.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 -200%) Largy Nights	6 6/1(-200%)	(2) Largy Nights 6/1, Stepped up on comeback run to register a second success over fences at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago. 8 lb higher now still lightly raced for his age. Stays well, as he showed when 12l to the good over 3m3f at Sedgefield a month ago.
6th	7 6th (7) (150/1 -127%) Moroval	150 150/1(-127%)	(7) Moroval 150/1, Sprang a major surprise when 100/1 winner at Southwell last year but well held since, including on return. 11 lb out of the handicap. Only 1-34 under rules and was pulled up behind Ali Star Bert here last time.

LTO Selection:

The new training partnership of Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole got off to a flying start earlier in the week and it would come as no surprise to see ROSTELLO score for them here. An experienced chaser, the selection showed he retains enthusiasm with a gallant success at Hexham last month and is a must for consideration off just 5lb higher. Sedgefield winner Largy Nights is respected along with Concrete King.

CONCRETE KING is potentially well treated nowadays and took a step back in the right direction when third at Ffos Las, so can fend off last-time-out winners Ali Star Bert, Largy Nights and Rostello.

Charlie Longsdon's LARGY NIGHTS did it well at Sedgefield and he's by no means exposed as a stayer.

12:10 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:15 Thurles Handicap Chase 25f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
6	6 (6) (13/2 -30%) Baldur's Gate	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(6) Baldur's Gate 13/2, 1 win from 2 runs this season. 11/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (24.7f, soft) 31 days ago, kept up to work. Raised 8lb for Punchestown win, good point-to-point rider again claims useful allowance..
1	4 1st (4) (7/1 +7%) Toofareastiswest	7 7/1(+7%)	(4) Toofareastiswest 7/1, Very good second of 9 in handicap chase (10/1) at this course (22f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Has recently begun to find his form again, promising second over 2m6f here on latest.
2	14 2nd (14) (22/1 +67%) Lady Kate	22 22/1(+67%)	(14) Lady Kate 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 7 in novice chase at Gowran (16f, heavy, 150/1) 36 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. Trainer's handicap runners deserve respect, rise in trip may help to produce improvement.
3	11 3rd (11) (14/1 +13%) Made In The Woods	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) Made In The Woods 14/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16.3f, heavy, 10/1) 52 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Consistent in defeat before Limerick win in March, trip was too short on seasonal debut.
4	10 4th (10) (14/1 -115%) Fill The Tank	14 14/1(-115%)	(10) Fill The Tank 14/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. 20/1, below form seventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft) 42 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. 1-18 in chases, good recent hurdles form, 11lb lower mark here gives him a definite chance.
5th	3 5th (3) (8/1 +64%) Low Mileage	8 8/1(+64%)	(3) Low Mileage 8/1, 6/1, pulled up in novice chase at Fairyhouse (24.5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Difficult ask. Made a bad mistake three out in a beginners' chase at Fairyhouse on his seasonal debut..
6th	2 6th (2) (14/1 +44%) Lizrona	14 14/1(+44%)	(2) Lizrona 14/1, Course winner. 6/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.3f, heavy) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Won twice over fences last season including this race, recent form raises doubts.
7th	9 7th (9) (7/1 +30%) Tullyhogue Fort	7 7/1(+30%)	(9) Tullyhogue Fort 7/1, Latest win in chase at Tipperary in July. 25/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, heavy) 36 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly back up in trip. Found 2m inadequate at Aintree last month, better judged on form over staying distances.
8th	13 8th (13) (10/1 +38%) Dorans River	10 10/1(+38%)	(13) Dorans River 10/1, 3 wins from 9 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in September. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap chase at this course (22f, good to soft, 16/1) 17 days ago. In fine shape over hurdles in the summer, held by Toofareastiswest on recent chase form.
9th	15 9th (15) (20/1 +20%) Maciver	20 20/1(+20%)	(15) Maciver 20/1, Fair winner at 22f over hurdles. Fifth of 12 in handicap chase (10/1) at Tramore (21.4f, soft) 19 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Tramore maiden hurdle winner, modest chase credentials so far, new headgear combination.
10th	12 10th (12) (12/1 +0%) Game And Glory	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Game And Glory 12/1, One win from 26 NH runs. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, third of 14 in handicap chase at this course (18.3f, soft) 45 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Positives to be taken from her third place here last month but needs to find a bit more.
11th	1 11th (1) (8/1 -7%) Friends N Commerce	8 8/1(-7%)	(1) Friends N Commerce 8/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. 66/1, fourth of 11 in novice chase at this course (22f, soft) 24 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Enters calculations. Possibly flattered by fourth placing last time, plenty of weight for his first handicap.
12th	7 12th (7) (40/1 -21%) Slige Dala	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Slige Dala 40/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 9 in handicap chase at this course (22f, good to soft, 18/1) 17 days ago. Jumped badly when last of eight finishers here last time, Toofareastiswest second then.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (5/2 +29%) Leish Oscars Son	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(5) Leish Oscars Son 5/2, Promising individual. Career best when winning 15-runner novice chase (11/2) at Tramore (21.4f, soft) 19 days ago. Tongue strap back on. More to come and worth a chance to follow up. Should remain competitive despite 6lb rise for an emphatic win at Tramore recently.
16	16 \|PU\| (16) (33/1 -32%) Finding Freedom	33 33/1(-32%)	(16) Finding Freedom 33/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.5f, heavy, 12/1) 40 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. RESERVE. Reserve, point winner, tailed off at Fairyhouse in his first handicap, first-time blinkers.

LTO Selection:

BALDUR'S GATE is 8lb higher than when winning at Punchestown but seems suited by this test of stamina. His earlier middle-distance form was also useful and has obvious claims on today's suitably soft surface. Toofareastiswest ran well when rated 2lb lower here last month and with today's rider claiming 5lb, should run well although tackles this slightly longer distance for the first time. Leish Oscars Son won an ordinary Tramore beginners chase last month but retains his same rating and could be suited by today's stamina test, having easily won an April soft-ground point-to-point. Friends N Commerce is a 17-race maiden but is suited by conditions and can compete under top weight on his handicap chase debut. Tullyhogue Fort was unsuited by two miles at Aintree and steps back up in distance, while his neighbour Fill The Tank reverts to fences. Game And Glory and veteran stablemate Dorans River have been running well while last year's winner Lizrona is race-fit but has been well held in recent starts.

LEISH OSCARS SON overcame trouble in running to score in a novice at Tramore recently and a mark of 107 looks more than fair, so he's well worth a chance to defy it. Friends N Commerce looks the main danger and Baldur's Gate is likely to put up a solid showing for all that he doesn't appear to be as well treated as the selection.

Recent beginners' chase winner LEISH OSCARS SON seems to be getting his act together and can improve on previous handicap form

12:15 Thurles Handicap Chase 25f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:25 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (14/1 -133%) Go Boy	14 14/1(-133%)	(2) Go Boy 14/1, Made a winning start over hurdles for Mark Molloy at Limerick last December but failed to build on that on both subsequent starts, well held at Fairyhouse when last seen in February. Has since moved yards and needs to show a lot more back over the larger obstacles (pulled up on chase bow). Not entirely solid on Irish form but market support should be noted; new yard.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 +0%) Fia Fuinidh	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(4) Fia Fuinidh 11/2, Made all in 2m Ayr handicap hurdle last winter. Well backed but not seen to best effect under a change of tactics when fourth on chase debut at Hexham (15.6f, heavy) last month. Placed in an Irish point so he should have more to offer in this sphere. Should do better with Hexham reappearance under his belt; not fully exposed.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 +8%) Malpas	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Malpas 11/1, Successful 3 times over 17f here in 2021/22 but went winless over hurdles last term and came in last on his only try over fences at Hexham. Returns from 9 months off on the back of a wind op with something to prove. Interesting off a handy mark back at his ideal venue (all hurdles wins here).
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +38%) Five Dollar Fine	5 5/1(+38%)	(7) Five Dollar Fine 5/1, Maiden hurdler who made an encouraging start over fences, fifth of 14 in 2m3f handicap chase at Catterick 23 days ago. One for the shortlist. 0-10 under rules but improvement is possible off this reduced mark.
5th	6 5th (6) (10/1 +0%) Attention All	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Attention All 10/1, Debut hurdles winner at Newcastle but has failed to reproduce it, off 10 months before fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield 31 days ago. Needs to take a step forward now going chasing. Hurdles win was fortunate; pulled up in both Irish points.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/10 +12%) Blue Fin	1.1 11/10(+12%)	(1) Blue Fin 11/10, Runner-up only start in bumpers and positive profile over hurdles last season, registering success at Newcastle (16.9f) in February. Definite promise when second behind a potentially very smart prospect on last month's chase debut here and he won't be long in winning in this sphere. Promising second in similar event here six weeks ago; respected off same mark.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/1 -100%) Our Follet	7 7/1(-100%)	(3) Our Follet 7/1, A fair 2m winner over hurdles last term but tongue strap on when coming in only tenth of 12 at Compiegne (17.9f, heavy) 37 days ago. More is needed on his chase debut. Hurdles winner who is bred to be as effective over fences; still unexposed.

LTO Selection:

BLUE FIN was far from disgraced on his opening bid over fences when finding only the progressive Trelawne too strong here last month. The gelded son of Shantou races off the same mark and he rates as the one to beat on this drop in class. Fia Fuinidh offered something to work with on his fourth-placed chase bow at Hexham in November and better is expected with that seasonal bow under his belt, while Five Dollar Fine is worth a second look.

BLUE FIN looked a winner in waiting when runner-up on his chasing debut here and can go one better now. Fia Fuinidh is fancied to take a sizeable step forward from his own encouraging start in this sphere at Hexham though, so should ensure Donald McCain's 6-y-o doesn't have things all his own way. Five Dollar Fine has a bit more experience on his side and can have a say too.

Donald McCain holds a robust hand with BLUE FIN and Malpas. Some of the others aren't fully exposed.

12:25 Carlisle Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f PREDICTION SIMULATION

12:35 Navan Maiden Hurdle 20f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (100/1 -100%) Marlpark	100 100/1(-100%)	(4) Marlpark 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 6 in bumper (18/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) on NH debut 85 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Last of six in a Listowel bumper in September and makes little appeal on his hurdles debut.
1	2 1st (2) (9/4 -295%) Dancing City	2.25 9/4(-295%)	(2) Dancing City 9/4, Promising individual. Very useful in bumpers. Fifth of 16 in C&D maiden (heavy, 11/4) on hurdles bow 29 days ago. Has the potential for significant improvement. Likely to come on a good bit for last month's debut; should be a more potent factor here.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +9%) Nas Na Riogh	5 5/1(+9%)	(5) Nas Na Riogh 5/1, Promising type. Point winner. Fourth of 15 in maiden hurdle (10/3) at Down Royal (22.5f, soft) on NH debut 37 days ago. Open to improvement. More needed here than at Down Royal but likely to take another forward step back in trip.
3	7 3rd (7) (12/1 +0%) Park The Giant	12 12/1(+0%)	(7) Park The Giant 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, fifth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft) 35 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Solid in a good class 2m3f maiden hurdle at Naas last month; could get into the shake-up.
4	3 4th (3) (11/1 -57%) Find A Fortune	11 11/1(-57%)	(3) Find A Fortune 11/1, Third in sole point. Remote third of 8 in bumper at Clonmel (18.5f, heavy, 5/4) on NH debut in March. Could prove a different proposition now hurdling on return. Very surprising if he was not considerably better than Clonmel and respected here.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/5 +77%) Slanagaibhgoleir	0.8 4/5(+77%)	(8) Slanagaibhgoleir 4/5, Promising individual. Third of 22 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy, 11/4) in January. Up in trip on return. There's more to come from him. Looks an opportunity if forward enough to do himself justice and could be the one to beat.
6th	9 6th (9) (150/1 -50%) The Nagger Reidy	150 150/1(-50%)	(9) The Nagger Reidy 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, thirteenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft) 35 days ago. Poor run at Naas last time after promising Sligo debut; others look much more likely.
7th	10 7th (10) (250/1 -150%) Tankardstown Diva	250 250/1(-150%)	(10) Tankardstown Diva 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourteenth of 26 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy, 150/1) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Ran okay in a couple of bumpers in the sutumn; well beaten though in two maiden hurdles.
8th	11 8th (11) (250/1 -150%) Thecornerbar	250 250/1(-150%)	(11) Thecornerbar 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, twenty third of 24 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Stable having good spell. Soundly beaten in a pair of maiden hurdles and hard to make a case for.
9th	1 9th (1) (300/1 -200%) Corballis Flyer	300 300/1(-200%)	(1) Corballis Flyer 300/1, Once-raced maiden over hurdles. Twenty second of 24 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.8f, heavy, 250/1) on NH debut 7 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Tailed off on his hurdles debut at Cork last week and makes no appeal; tried in a hood.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (125/1 -89%) No Turn Unstoned	125 125/1(-89%)	(6) No Turn Unstoned 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 16 in maiden over C&D (heavy, 200/1) 29 days ago. Possibly more one for handicaps. Bumper and maiden hurdle form to date of the very modest variety; hard to fancy here.

LTO Selection:

Gordon Elliott saddles four here, of which Find A Fortune would appear to be his main hope judged on jockey bookings, but Willie Mullins landed this prize last year and is fancied to do so once again with DANCING CITY. The Wexford bumper winner was far from disgraced on his hurdling bow last month, having been well supported, so it would come as no surprise to see an improved performance with that experience under his belt. Nas Na Riogh is also noted.

DANCING CITY's bumper ability provides him with the scope for significant improvement on the back of last month's C&D hurdle debut fifth and he's preferred to Slanagaibhgoleir and Henry de Bromhead's Nas Na Riogh.

Preference is for SLANAGAIBHGOLEIR, slightly disappointing on his second start at Punchestown in January but this rates an opportunity

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (10/11 +55%) Gardener	0.909091 10/11(+55%)	(2) Gardener 10/11, Fairly useful in bumpers in Ireland and off the mark in Leicester novice hurdle last December. Didn't find any progress switched to handicaps, though possibly needed the run on his latest outing. Remains capable of better as he goes chasing on first start since leaving Alex Hales. Novice hurdle winner and now kicks off over fences for new trainer Olly Murphy; respected.
2	4 2nd (4) (7/2 +0%) Secret Plan	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(4) Secret Plan 7/2, Left his hurdling debut form behind when runner-up in Taunton maiden in March and shaped encouragingly when fourth at Ffos Las (21.9f) on his return. However, failed to come on for that effort at Chepstow last time and the drop in trip might not be ideal on his chase debut. Some promise over hurdles but bred to be a chaser; may want further but respected.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 -64%) Arlo	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(3) Arlo 9/2, Fair hurdler for Stuart Crawford in Ireland and, after 18 months off, showed that he retains plenty of ability when third in Sedgefield maiden in October. Had made the frame on his only start in Irish points, so could build on his latest effort sent chasing. Third in a maiden hurdle on belated stable debut; entitled to make a chaser.
1	1 \|U\| (1) (9/2 -80%) Couldbeaweapon	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(1) Couldbeaweapon 9/2, Improved again when making all in handicap hurdle at Worcester last October and placed on his next 4 starts, before turning in a lacklustre effort on his final outing of the campaign. However, he appeals as the type to make a chaser, so he could bounce back on his return. Only 1-10 over hurdles and he's 12lb higher than for his sole win; chase debut.

LTO Selection:

Arlo, Couldbeaweapon and Gardener reached a comparable level over hurdles and are evenly matched as they set out to enhance their profiles over fences. However, given the probability of testing ground being the order of the day, SECRET PLAN could take advantage of the small amount of weight he receives from his three rivals. Having posted his best effort over timber on heavy, the Evan Williams-trained gelding is set to encounter ideal conditions and is fancied to make a winning start in this discipline.

GARDENER didn't go on as hoped switched to handicaps over hurdles, but he possibly needed the run after 9 months off last time and he could yet do better over fences. He is taken to make a winning stable/chase debut, with Arlo next best having shaped encouragingly on his reappearance, ahead of Couldbeaweapon.

It could be that SECRET PLAN will want further over fences but he's still worth chancing on his first attempt.

Below form seventh of 15 back over hurdles (6/4) at this course (16.2f, soft) 24 days ago. Remains with potential back over fences.

Tongue strap back on. Makes handicap chase debut. Creditable second to the useful Perceval Legallois on chasing debut, yet to build on that.
4	8 4th (8) (18/1 +45%) R'evelyn Pleasure	18 18/1(+45%)	(8) R'evelyn Pleasure 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable seventh of 15 in handicap chase at Killarney (20f, good, 14/1). Off 7 months. Now 15lb lower than when second in this race last season, fitness has to be taken on trust.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 -313%) Ricky Langford	33 33/1(-313%)	(9) Ricky Langford 33/1, Latest win in hurdle at Cork in August. 7/2, creditable third of 6 in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 77 days ago. Six-time winner, including twice in handicap hurdles this season, 2-16 over fences,.
6th	11 6th (11) (11/2 +61%) Chainofconsequence	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(11) Chainofconsequence 11/2, Unreliable individual. One win from 23 NH runs. Ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle (11/4) at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 56 days ago, lame when. Switches from hurdles to chase. Good run over hurdles at Galway on penultimate start, not the most consistent sort.
7th	3 7th (3) (18/1 +28%) Mc Alpine	18 18/1(+28%)	(3) Mc Alpine 18/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Sixth of 11 in novice chase (80/1) at Wexford (16f, heavy) 30 days ago, considerately handled. Makes handicap chase debut. Lightly raced since Cheltenham handicap hurdle win in 2021, unconvincing recent form.
8th	10 8th (10) (22/1 +12%) Ardamir	22 22/1(+12%)	(10) Ardamir 22/1, 14/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap chase at this course (18.4f, soft) 24 days ago. All five wins over hurdles, in front of stablemate Ricky Langford at Killarney in October.
7	7 \|F\| (7) (7/2 +22%) Time Marches On	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(7) Time Marches On 7/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Career best when winning 8-runner novice chase (5/1) at Cork (17.6f, good to soft) 63 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Player. Won 2m2f Cork novice in October, form looks solid and his opening handicap mark seems fair.
6	6 \|F\| (6) (14/1 -56%) Itwasfate	14 14/1(-56%)	(6) Itwasfate 14/1, Fairly useful winner at 15f over hurdles. 5/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap chase at Down Royal (16.4f, soft) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Beaten favourite twice in August, ran poorly in a first-time tongue-tie at Down Royal;.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (14/1 +13%) Mount Brown	14 14/1(+13%)	(1) Mount Brown 14/1, Shaped like a non-stayer before falling in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft, 10/1) 15 days ago. Something to find on form. Jumping issues have been a factor this season, needs to avoid error to threaten here.

LTO Selection:

NEVERADULLMOMENT is suited by this distance and soft ground and ran well in two of three recent chase outings. He chased home a capable type at Galway in October, ran well at Wexford recently (McAlpine finished sixth) and while he took 12 runs to win over hurdles, was consistent and today's rider claims 2lb. Time Marches On was a 10-race maiden over hurdles but seems better in this sphere and indeed competes with a 4lb-lower rating. He is a little hit-and-miss but his Cork rated race win was good. Battle Of Ridgeway rarely leaves Tipperary and while well held over hurdles at Thurles, will be seen in a better light reverting to fences, although he must compete off a career high mark. Willywampus has won just once from 27 runs but has been running well over fences and is suited by conditions. Ricky Langford and Ardamir have recent form while Itwasfate runs in first-time cheekpieces.

BATTLE OF RIDGEWAY disappointed back over hurdles last time but is worth another chance returned to fences having made an impressing winning chase bow here the time before. Willywampus and Time Marches On head the dangers.

An improved round of jumping was instrumental in TIME MARCHES ON (nap) gaining a first chase win at Cork. He can follow up now

1	4 1st (4) (3/1 -50%) Eloi Du Puy	3 3/1(-50%)	(4) Eloi Du Puy 3/1, Has improved since switched to handicaps, completing a double at this Kelso with something to spare a month ago. More to come and should go well on hat-trick bid. Bid for hat-trick, having won at Kelso the last twice; further progress is possible.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/2 +56%) R S Ambush	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(3) R S Ambush 7/2, Fair form when second in 2m Worcester novice on stable debut in October. Not in quite the same form when fourth on Wincanton handicap debut since but remains unexposed now stepping up in trip. Has stamina in his pedigree. Dam's side suggests this step up in distance will suit; still unexposed; possibilities.
3	7 3rd (7) (28/1 +15%) Bollin Matilda	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Bollin Matilda 28/1, Has hinted at ability but his handicap debut/reappearance at Kelso last month was uninspiring. Bred to do better, being the first foal of a winning hurdler for her stable.
4	6 4th (6) (10/3 +45%) Bushmill Boy	3.333333 10/3(+45%)	(6) Bushmill Boy 10/3, Remains a maiden after 18 starts but he has had a consistent spell lately, reaching the frame for the fifth start in succession when third of 8 at Uttoxeter 3 weeks ago. Proving consistent but a success remains elusive; now 0-18.
5th	8 5th (8) (12/1 +40%) Boyneside	12 12/1(+40%)	(8) Boyneside 12/1, Poor form, although latest C&D third of 7 shows he can be competitive from his basement mark. 3 lb out of the handicap here. Signs of improvement over C&D last time but ran to a very humble RPR.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 -14%) Easter Junction	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Easter Junction 4/1, Placed on the first of 2 starts in bumpers and fair form when fourth in maidens at Sedgefield and Doncaster on his completed starts over hurdles. Steps up in trip for handicap debut. Interesting contender. Consistent thus far; may be capable of progress now handicapping over new trip.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/1 -20%) Lisloran	9 9/1(-20%)	(5) Lisloran 9/1, Won 3 times over fences at around 2½m last winter. Found 2m a barely adequate test when third back over hurdles at Hexham on reappearance and this return to further could see him in a better light. Three-time chase winner who remains on an attractive mark over hurdles.
8th	1 8th (1) (18/1 -350%) Broadford Publican	18 18/1(-350%)	(1) Broadford Publican 18/1, Modest form in Ireland, including only mid-field in a couple of handicaps, but worth monitoring in the betting on this first outing for Stuart Coltherd after 7 months off. Judged on Irish form, he's not obviously well treated on debut for new yard.

LTO Selection:

LISLORAN likely found the drop to 2m against him when finishing a respectable third on his reappearance at Hexham last month. This extended 2m3f should see the seven-year-old travel kinder and a first success over hurdles could be on the horizon. R S Ambush is unexposed in this sphere and he isn't taken lightly, while Bushmill Boy should give another good account at this level too.

ELOI DU PUY has had the form of his latest Kelso win boosted by the runner-up going in since so a further 5 lb rise may not prevent him completing a hat-trick. The unexposed Easter Junction is a potentially dangerous opponent for the Donald McCain team. R S Ambush is another who hasn't got many miles on the clock.

With this new trip a likely plus, unexposed R S AMBUSH could well get off the mark. Easter Junction is feared most

7th	8 7th (8) (28/1 -155%) Miss Tempo	28 28/1(-155%)	(8) Miss Tempo 28/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Tipperary in May. Below form fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at this course (22f, heavy) 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Still debatable whether the handicapper has her measure but looks best watched for now.

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 5-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (22f, soft, 4/1) 21 days ago, easily. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Big shout. Punchestown maiden winner could have a lot more to offer on his handicap debut.

Pulled up in novice chase at Galway (18.5f, heavy, 3/1) 75 days ago, dropping away. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Lost his way completely; debuts for Harry Rogers here and almost certainly best watched.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (9/1 +10%) Clarens	9 9/1(+10%)	(9) Clarens 9/1, Course winner. Good second of 20 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at this course (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Enters calculations. Unproven over the trip but loves testing ground and won't be far away if getting home.

LTO Selection:

SHANNON ROYALE won a Clonmel bumper that has worked out well and has progressed with each run over hurdles this term. He was trying to give Lecky Watson 8lb at Thurles before fitted with cheek pieces when bolting up in a 2m6f maiden at Punchestown. A mark of 130 may underestimate his ability. Harvard Guy won over C&D last month while others to consider include Lord Erskine, third to Espanito Bello in a similar handicap at Naas last month, and Carnfunnock. Clarens completed a hat-trick on varying ground conditions over two years ago and has returned to form this term including when runner-up to the gambled-on Fortunedefortunata here last month. It will be interesting to see how he copes with this extra half-mile. Natural Look won over fences at Galway last time and now reverts to hurdles off a lower mark.

SHANNON ROYALE looks a typical improver for the yard and can follow up his Punchestown novice success now stepping into handicap company for the first time. Harvard Guy also has better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, with Natural Look, Clarens and Lord Erskine also firmly in the picture in this competitive handicap.

The one to beat could be HARVARD GUY(nap) who won with authority despite some iffy jumping over C&D last month and looks progressive

3	3 3rd (3) (50/1 -25%) Shuile Warrior	50 50/1(-25%)	(3) Shuile Warrior 50/1, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Dam unraced, from family of smart staying chaser Trafford Lad and Stayers Hurdle winner Shuil Ar Aghaidh. Fourth foal of an unraced dam; bred to stay well so perhaps best watched in a bumper.

LTO Selection:

Expensive purchases Western Harmony and CASTLE IVERS both captured the imagination when they both won at the same Ballindenisk point-to-point fixture in May. While the former is respected on debut for the Nicky Henderson yard, the latter has an equal amount of scope to develop under Rules and shades preference after registering a slightly quicker time between the flags. Hereford bumper winner Tap N Go Leo shoulders a 7lb penalty, so Shuile Warrior is earmarked for third spot on his racecourse bow.

WESTERN HARMONY has been picked up for six figures after landing an Irish point and he's worth chancing to make a successful Rules debut at the likely expense of Castle Ivers, who fits a similar mould. Tap N Go Leo is also considered after scoring on debut at Hereford.

This may concern WESTERN HARMONY and Castle Ivers, who won their respective divisions of the same point in Ireland back in May.

LTO Selection:

JIMMY DU SEUIL ran twice in France and latterly finished second in as Fontainebleau bumper in September 2022 so could be good. That winner was subsequently Grade 3-placed, the third was later Grade 1-placed while fourth-placed Jit Langy has since joined and been successful for Willie Mullins. The selection is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Iberique Du Seuil. Ankud ran well over course and distance last month but is vulnerable to smart types while Farmers Lodge bumped into Daddy Long Legs here last month and should improve, as it was his first run for 712 days. Dollar Nolimit needs to improve to win while owner-ridden Asian Master has plenty on his plate despite debuting for Willie Mullins. Monsieur Azul runs in a first-time tongue-tie on his first run in 79 days while 100-rated Missus Beeton has a tough task.

The French bumper JIMMY DU SEUIL finished second in back in September 2022 worked out well and though he's been off the track since, he couldn't be in better hands. Ankud is open to progress and is feared most, with Monsieur Azul another to consider.

Looking to face a lesser task than on his recent C&D return from a long absence, FARMERS LODGE is taken to score here

1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +0%) Red Happy	4 4/1(+0%)	(8) Red Happy 4/1, Returned to winning ways at Exeter (19.2f) in October and, having subsequently left David Pipe, followed up under a well-judged ride at Kelso (21.6f) last month. Remains well treated on old form so could make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Won at Exeter and Kelso (stable debut) the last twice; still well treated on peak form.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 -50%) Universal Folly	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(4) Universal Folly 9/2, Completed a hat-trick over fences at Hexham (20.1f) in October and continued in good heart when runner-up at Aintree (25f) on his latest outing, beaten only by a smart prospect. Reliable sort and he can resume winning ways. Has form figures of 1112 this term, beaten by very useful rival at Aintree most recently.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/2 +50%) Christopher Wood	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(1) Christopher Wood 5/2, Useful winning hurdler at his best and, having a second try over fences, ran well when runner-up both starts in January. Wasn't able to progress from those efforts when fourth of 7 in handicap at Ayr in April, but he could yet do better in this sphere having had another wind op. Possibilities off reduced mark, provided he returns in good form and stays the trip.
4	6 4th (6) (15/2 -15%) Grey Skies	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(6) Grey Skies 15/2, Fortunate winner at Sedgefield in March but there was nothing lucky about his success at Perth (20.1f) the following month. Shaped better than his form figures suggest during the summer, seeming stretched by the longer trip last time, so he's not written off after a break. Managed to beat Universal Folly at Perth in April; form dipped in the summer.
5th	3 5th (3) (6/1 +0%) Dubai Days	6 6/1(+0%)	(3) Dubai Days 6/1, Looked better than ever last season, winning at this course (20f) in March before a fine second at Ayr (20.5f) the following month. Unsuited by the step up in distance when sixth at Haydock (25.6f) last time, so he's an interesting contender back down in trip/grade. Sole start at Carlisle resulted in a success of just 1lb lower; interesting back here.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (9/2 +0%) Mulberry Hill	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(5) Mulberry Hill 9/2, Fair handicap hurdler who produced a career-best effort on her third chase start when winning at Kempton (20.5f) last month, scoring readily having travelled powerfully. Looked potentially useful last time so she's not taken lightly. Has respectable Carlisle form; scored comfortably at Kempton last time; respected.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (25/1 -178%) Scipion	25 25/1(-178%)	(2) Scipion 25/1, Built on earlier chasing promise when winning handicap at Lingfield (23.5f) in February and good second at Kempton in April. Hasn't been in the same form since, albeit facing a stiff task when well held on second start for his current yard last time. Cheekpieces back on. Won off this mark when with previous yard; fighting chance if back to that form.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (100/1 -52%) Ujumpthelastuwin	100 100/1(-52%)	(7) Ujumpthelastuwin 100/1, Without a win over fences but hinted at a revival when third in maiden at Ballinrobe (23f) last August, faring best of those held up despite a typically mixed round of jumping. Off 16 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Ex-Irish 9yo who has been absent for 16 months; best watched.

LTO Selection:

Runner-up to the talented Giovinco at Aintree last month, UNIVERSAL FOLLY should be well suited by dropping back in trip, having won his previous start at Hexham over shorter. A mark of 124 may still underestimate the eight-year-old, and he gets the vote ahead of easy Kempton scorer Mulberry Hill and Red Happy, who arrives on a hat-trick after winning for new connections at Kelso.

UNIVERSAL FOLLY may have had his winning run ended when second at Aintree last month, but he lost little in defeat to the very promising Giovinco (runner-up in a Grade 2 next time) so he is taken to record his fourth success of the season. Mulberry Hill proved better than ever when scoring at Kempton last time and is feared most, ahead of Dubai Days.

Back down in trip and returned to the scene of his last win, DUBAI DAYS gets the vote. Universal Folly is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (14/1 +30%) Butty O Brien	14 14/1(+30%)	(10) Butty O Brien 14/1, 14/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.5f, soft) 51 days ago. In the mix. Not disgraced when returning to hurdles at Sligo in October but much more needed here.
2	1 2nd (1) (25/1 -25%) Ena Baie	25 25/1(-25%)	(1) Ena Baie 25/1, One win from 31 NH runs. 25/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.6f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Chance if rediscovering old form. Neither of her last two runs would give much encouragement; cheekpieces tried.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/4 +29%) Read To Return	1.25 5/4(+29%)	(3) Read To Return 5/4, Winner in chase at Killarney in October. Respectable fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft, 5/2) 15 days ago. Has good chance on form. Fourth in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; strong form in the context of this race.
4	9 4th (9) (25/1 +24%) Native Gold	25 25/1(+24%)	(9) Native Gold 25/1, 16/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft), pulled up entering straight. Off 10 months. Failed to rediscover best form last season; best watched on his first start for 11 months.
5th	14 5th (14) (11/2 -38%) Blossom De Mai	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(14) Blossom De Mai 11/2, Off 11 months but posted a career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft, 22/1) 19 days ago. Showed a turn of foot there so she rates a player once more. Win going away over 2m5f at Tramore; improving as the stable continues in excellent form.
6th	4 6th (4) (5/1 +33%) Upthereforthinking	5 5/1(+33%)	(4) Upthereforthinking 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules who posted a respectable sixth of 22 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at this course (16f, heavy) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and very much one to consider. Staying-on sixth in a 2m handicap hurdle here last month; step up in trip will suit.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 -267%) Golden Nugget	33 33/1(-267%)	(8) Golden Nugget 33/1, Eighteenth of 22 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at this course (16f, heavy) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Disappointing horse and needs to find plenty here to be a factor.
8th	16 8th (16) (22/1 -10%) Ferrum	22 22/1(-10%)	(16) Ferrum 22/1, Good fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy) 23 days ago. One for the shortlist. Appears to be going the right way and could get involved if the drop in trip suits.
9th	12 9th (12) (12/1 +40%) Western Model	12 12/1(+40%)	(12) Western Model 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fair fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Fairyhouse (20.5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Possibilities. Didn't seem to get home over 2m4f in heavy ground at Fairyhouse; has time on his side.
10th	7 10th (7) (6/1 -9%) Lets Do This	6 6/1(-9%)	(7) Lets Do This 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.6f, good to soft, 10/3) 92 days ago. Not taken lightly. Improved late summer; ground could be an issue but not without a chance if he handles it.
11th	11 11th (11) (40/1 -60%) Lariat	40 40/1(-60%)	(11) Lariat 40/1, 14/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, soft) 83 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Can give a good account. Dual Flat winner but still a maiden over hurdles and has not shown much for a while.
12th	15 12th (15) (28/1 -12%) Not May	28 28/1(-12%)	(15) Not May 28/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy) 23 days ago. Needs to step forward. Back in trip here but has an each-way squeak if able to find a little improvement.
13th	6 13th (6) (40/1 -344%) Ivar The Boneless	40 40/1(-344%)	(6) Ivar The Boneless 40/1, Fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.2f, heavy, 9/2) 30 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Hood on 1st time/tongue strap back on. Respected on handicap hurdle debut. Debuts for the Watsons here with headgear and could be interesting if settling better.
14th	13 14th (13) (100/1 -150%) Jimli's Cave	100 100/1(-150%)	(13) Jimli's Cave 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1, seventeenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 36 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Mild promise in Downpatrick maiden in April but well held twice since; best watched.
15th	2 15th (2) (125/1 -213%) Sundrenched	125 125/1(-213%)	(2) Sundrenched 125/1, Last of 20 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 15 days ago. Beaten a mile in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse two weeks ago; hard to fancy.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (66/1 -65%) Cala Di Volpe	66 66/1(-65%)	(5) Cala Di Volpe 66/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 18 in novice chase (100/1) at Gowran (20f, heavy). Off 22 months. Switches from chase to hurdles with more needed. Off the track for 22 months and pulled up in a point-to-point at Moira in October.

LTO Selection:

This can go the way of READ TO RETURN, who has been in fine form this season and ran with credit on his return to this sphere at Fairyhouse earlier in the month. A mark of 99 still looks manageable, and he is preferred to Blossom De Mai, who got off the mark with a determined success at Tramore and should not be inconvenienced by dropping back in trip. Lets Do This is a player based on the pick of his form, while Golden Nugget and Ivar The Boneless are others to consider.

Lots with chances but BLOSSOM DE MAI returned better than ever with a stylish success at Tramore so looks the way to go. Upthereforthinking is much less exposed and rates a big threat with this return to a longer trip a likely plus, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Read To Return, Lets Do This and Ferrum.

The one to be on could be UPTHEREFORTHINKING who ran well on his handicap debut over 2m here last month with the step up in trip a plus

13:55 Southwell Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (11/5 +12%) Tommie Gun	2.2 11/5(+12%)	(10) Tommie Gun 11/5, Much better effort in bumpers when 6 lengths second of 13 at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last month. Should be up to making his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling. Second in a Newbury bumper last month and looks a nice prospect for hurdles.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/1 +42%) Schmilsson	7 7/1(+42%)	(8) Schmilsson 7/1, Fairly useful on Flat for Andrew Balding but possibly more one for handicaps in this sphere judged on his 2 efforts so far. Beaten in the region of 20l in his two hurdles and Sean Bowen jumps ship to a stablemate.
3	4 3rd (4) (6/5 +80%) Colonel Whizz	1.2 6/5(+80%)	(4) Colonel Whizz 6/5, Shaped like a stayer when runner-up in bumper at Market Rasen in May. Better effort over hurdles in recent months when second over 2½m at Fakenham 5 weeks ago. Isn't sure to benefit from this drop back to 2m but he should still figure in a race lacking depth. Drop in distance not sure to suit but he's one of the better options on form.
4	14 4th (14) (9/2 +78%) Whisperonthewind	4.5 9/2(+78%)	(14) Whisperonthewind 9/2, Posted a promising debut second in bumper at Warwick a year ago but has disappointingly failed to build on that in her 3 starts since, finishing a well-held fifth on her Exeter hurdle debut/reappearance 4 weeks ago. Cheekpieces are added now. Hasn't progressed from her debut second in a bumper and has no obvious form claims.
5th	7 5th (7) (125/1 -150%) Saint Vic	125 125/1(-150%)	(7) Saint Vic 125/1, 33/1, last of 16 in bumper (33/1) at Chepstow (2m, soft) on debut 47 days ago. Can only watch now switching to hurdles. 33-1 when barely sighted and tailed off in a Chepstow bumper.
6th	12 6th (12) (125/1 -25%) Warrior's Fate	125 125/1(-25%)	(12) Warrior's Fate 125/1, Placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points but pulled up on his 25f Huntingdon hurdle debut 22 days ago. Drops markedly in trip now. At 50-1 he dropped right out before pulling up in a 3m1f maiden at Huntingdon.
7th	2 7th (2) (25/1 +0%) Blow Your Horn	25 25/1(+0%)	(2) Blow Your Horn 25/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 2¼m) who recorded a hat-trick in the summer. Off nearly 3 months before a never-dangerous tenth on his hurdles debut at Hereford 26 days ago. Will need to leave that well behind. Wasn't flying on the Flat before a forgettable hurdling debut at Hereford.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 +24%) Stardhem	50 50/1(+24%)	(9) Stardhem 50/1, 40/1, fourteenth of 17 in bumper at Wincanton (15f, soft) on debut 36 days ago. Always out the back at Wincanton (bumper) and didn't show anything like enough.
9th	13 9th (13) (150/1 +0%) Gladys Eva Jane	150 150/1(+0%)	(13) Gladys Eva Jane 150/1, Showed ability in bumpers, albeit without looking genuine, and having changed hands for only £5,000 in August she offered precious little on her hurdles debut at Hereford. Went off at 200-1 for hurdling debut at Hereford and achieved nothing.
10th	6 10th (6) (300/1 -200%) Pearly King	300 300/1(-200%)	(6) Pearly King 300/1, 80/1, last of 15 in bumper (80/1) at Hereford (2m, good to soft) on debut 26 days ago. Outsider now hurdling. 80-1 and never counted in a modest Hereford bumper (good).
11th	3 11th (3) (300/1 -100%) Clarehill	300 300/1(-100%)	(3) Clarehill 300/1, Maiden Irish pointer who didn't shape with any obvious encouragement on last month's Market Rasen hurdle debut. Modest pointer and 200-1 when tailed off in a maiden at Market Rasen (good to soft).
12th	11 12th (11) (28/1 +30%) Total Lockdown	28 28/1(+30%)	(11) Total Lockdown 28/1, Fair on Flat (stays 1½m) but might be more one for any handicaps in this sphere if his first attempt at Huntingdon is any guide. Limited on the Flat and failed to offer much on hurdling debut when 100-1.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (150/1 -127%) Great Warford	150 150/1(-127%)	(5) Great Warford 150/1, Well held in a Carlisle bumper and Hexham novice hurdle last month. Looks more one for the longer term. Beaten a distance in his bumper and sole novice hurdle; should be outclassed.

LTO Selection:

Trainer Nicky Henderson will be disappointed if the well-bred BHALOO doesn't open his account over timber. The bumper winner chased home a couple of useful prospects on his hurdling bow last month and rates the one they all have to beat on that form. Colonel Whizz, who hit the woodwork at Fakenham, is the main danger. Stardhem didn't show much on his sole bumper start, but he is bred to appreciate the switch to hurdles.

This looks to represent a good opportunity for BHALOO to build on a promising opening run over hurdles at Kempton. Tommie Gun shaped quite well when runner-up in a Newbury bumper last month and is preferred for the forecast spot to Colonel Whizz, who may not be ideally suited by the return to 2m.

Only three really appeal as feasible winners. BHALOO is hard to resist after shaping so promisingly in a much stronger race at Kempton.

14:00 Thurles Maiden Hurdle 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (7/2 +22%) Birdie Or Bust	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(4) Birdie Or Bust 7/2, Promising type. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Below form 24½ lengths fifth of 12 to Brighterdaysahead in Grade 3 hurdle (3/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 37 days ago. Should still progress. Questions to answer after falling short of market expectations at Tipperary and Down Royal.
2	6 2nd (6) (2/5 +35%) Fun Fun Fun	0.4 2/5(+35%)	(6) Fun Fun Fun 2/5, Ready winner of first two starts in bumpers, including Grade 2 at Leopardstown. Easily landed the odds in 13-runner novice here (16.5f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 17 days ago. The one to beat. Grade 2 bumper winner, C&D maiden hurdler scorer, probably a cut above these rivals.
3	8 3rd (8) (28/1 -40%) Pastorale	28 28/1(-40%)	(8) Pastorale 28/1, Fair hurdler. First run since leaving Mme I. Pacault when fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle at Naas (16f, soft, 50/1) on IRE NH debut 35 days ago, left poorly placed. Likely to improve. Chase winner in France, jumping was untidy when stable's second string on Irish debut.
4	5 4th (5) (200/1 -203%) Cast A Spell	200 200/1(-203%)	(5) Cast A Spell 200/1, Modest hurdler. Winner in bumper at Southwell in June. 23¾ lengths fourth of 13 to Fun Fun Fun in novice hurdle at this course (16.5f, good to soft, 100/1) 17 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Southwell bumper winner in June, well held by Fun Fun Fun on running here last time.
5th	1 5th (1) (11/1 -83%) Pink In The Park	11 11/1(-83%)	(1) Pink In The Park 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 4 runs this season. Only fourth of 6 in minor event hurdle (6/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) 85 days ago. Down in trip. Yard in good form and sort to bounce back. Two early-season wins, the champion trainer has a stronger contender in Fun Fun Fun.
6th	9 6th (9) (80/1 -220%) Rockview Consort	80 80/1(-220%)	(9) Rockview Consort 80/1, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Winner in hurdle at Tramore in August. Good fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle (10/3) at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) 72 days ago. Needs another step forward here, though. Flat/maiden hurdle winner, overall form indicates she might not want the ground too soft.
7th	7 7th (7) (22/1 -83%) Miss Agusta	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Miss Agusta 22/1, Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 10-runner novice hurdle (11/8) at Galway (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 49 days ago, going clear. This is tougher but trainer is going well and open to improvement. Useful mare in bumpers, made a pleasing start over hurdles at Galway in October.
8th	3 8th (3) (200/1 -203%) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit 200/1, Fair hurdler. 5/1, creditable fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at this course (23f, soft) 24 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Rejoined yard after leaving Miss Shauna Larkin. Difficult ask. Placed three times in bumpers, others much better suited by the race conditions.
9th	2 9th (2) (12/1 -20%) A Law Of Her Own	12 12/1(-20%)	(2) A Law Of Her Own 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 25/1, below form 24¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Brighterdaysahead in Grade3 hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 37 days ago. Can still make her presence felt. Ran in a Grade 3 contest at Down Royal last time, a more realistic chance in this company.

LTO Selection:

Grade 2 bumper winner FUN FUN FUN won well on hurdles debut here last month. A keen-goer, she should benefit from that experience and is well suited by this distance and a sound surface. A Law Of Her Own won a handicap hurdle at the Galway festival and has a clear experience-advantage but was well held in a recent Grade 3. Birdie Or Bust disappointed in that Down Royal race and while she was previously better, nonetheless should struggle to beat the selection. Pink In The Park has winning form at this distance but might ideally prefer further and concedes 4lb. Miss Agusta finished 17 lengths behind the selection in a Punchestown Festival bumper and has more on her plate that when winning at Galway. Pastorale won a French chase last January but needs to improve from her Irish debut.

FUN FUN FUN looked an exciting prospect when making a winning start in this sphere here last month and is hard to side against with plenty of improvement in the pipeline. Birdie Or Bust also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list ahead of Miss Agusta and A Law of Her Own who can fight it out for minor honours.

Grade 2 bumper winner FUN FUN FUN should be ready for this step-up in grade after a facile C&D maiden success.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (6/4 +25%) Howlingmadmurdock	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(2) Howlingmadmurdock 6/4, Rapidly developed into a useful hurdler last season, winning a Plumpton novice and Sandown handicap before a good fifth of 15 in 3m Grade 1 novice at Aintree in April. Sound-enough return to action at Haydock last month and he's fancied to step up on that. Back down 3lb and is lightly raced, so improvement may be possible; also has 7lb claimer.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/2 +17%) Ramo	2.5 5/2(+17%)	(4) Ramo 5/2, Progressive since upped to staying trips and added to his yard's excellent recent spell when grinding out victory at Ludlow last month. Stays well but he was brushed aside over 2m at Newbury a fortnight ago. Ran poorly off this 5lb higher mark at Newbury 16 days ago but all positives before that.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/1 -50%) Prairie Dancer	9 9/1(-50%)	(1) Prairie Dancer 9/1, Three wins from 10 runs in a productive 2022/23 campaign. Heavy defeat when last seen over hurdles in August but bagged a decent pot on the level since and this Irish raider lurks on a very fair mark if lasting out over this new trip. Unraced beyond 2m3f; disappointing in this sphere lately but not on Flat.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 -78%) Court Dreaming	16 16/1(-78%)	(7) Court Dreaming 16/1, Back on track (in a race he won last year) returned to fences when fourth here in October. Second of 3 over C&D a fortnight ago and while this is a deeper race, forcing him out of the weights, he is fit and in form. Course specialist; of some interest even though he's 6lb out of the handicap.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 -175%) Foillan	33 33/1(-175%)	(6) Foillan 33/1, Gained his third hurdling success at Haydock (24.2f) in February 2022. Failed to complete on both his runs over fences this time last year and having left Dr Richard Newland, he shaped as though in need of the outing at Cheltenham a month ago. Best efforts (3m, heavy) two winters back; big doubt over what he's currently capable of.
6th	3 6th (3) (14/1 -56%) Omar Maretti	14 14/1(-56%)	(3) Omar Maretti 14/1, Dual-point winner who bagged 4 of his first 5 starts under Rules but he lost his way over fences subsequently. Needed to see shade more on last month's return to timber to seriously consider him here. Well below form when reverting to hurdles on reappearance; good mark on best chase form.
7th	8 7th (8) (40/1 -43%) Palm Beach	40 40/1(-43%)	(8) Palm Beach 40/1, Hasn't made much of an impact in handicaps for this yar and is 10 lb out of the weights. Last of three over C&D latest start does not prove his stamina; 10lb out of the handicap.
8th	5 8th (5) (5/1 +0%) Schalke	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Schalke 5/1, Ended last season in fine form, scoring at Kelso before a good fourth at Sandown (23f). Ran as if needing the run on his Ayr reappearance and then wasn't seen to best effect held up at Haydock 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces back on and he's of interest. No show this season but it's possible he needed those two runs; considered.

LTO Selection:

RAMO may have disappointed last time out at Newbury, but he is better judged on his penultimate success at Ludlow and the progressive form he showed towards the end of last season. The six-year-old can make it four wins from his last six starts at the main expense of the class-dropping Howlingmadmurdock and Court Dreaming, who ran his best race for some time over C&D earlier in the month.

Having progressed really well last season, HOWLINGMADMURDOCK made a satisfactory return to action at Haydock 3 weeks ago and, given his profile, is fancied to build on that. Schalke could do with a good pace to aim at given his usual tactics and he could be dangerous, while Irish-raider Prairie Dancer has stamina to prove but he lurks on a good mark.

Two runs this season may have brought SCHALKE back to his peak. Howlingmadmurdock and Ramo complete the shortlist.

Ran well when ½-length second of 4 to Imagine in Craddockstown Novices' Chase at Punchestown (16.2f, soft, 6/1) 3 weeks ago, rallying run-in. Leading claims back up in trip. Went close in a Grade 2 over 2m last time when finishing strongly and 2m4f will be fine.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/11 +52%) Joyeux Machin		0.909091 10/11(+52%)																															(2) Joyeux Machin 10/11, Useful chaser, successful at Wexford in September. Good effort when ½-length second of 4 to Minella Crooner in listed chase at same course (23f, heavy, 7/2) a month ago, rallying after bad mistake last. Respected. Good second over further at Wexford last time but jumping still has room for improvement.

LTO Selection:

LUCID DREAMS sets the standard on form following a career-best effort when second in the Craddockstown last month. The eight-year-old has clearly taken well to the larger obstacles and going up in trip looks a good move at this stage, with heavy ground of no concern either. Joyeux Machin is a key player on the back of the back of a strong effort in Listed company at Wexford, while Donacheady Gale could be the one for third if Sa Fureur takes up his engagement at Fairyhouse on Saturday rather than here.

LUCID DREAMS has made up into a useful type over both hurdles and fences, going close in a Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown on his latest outing, and he can continue his good run of form to land a sixth win of the campaign. Joyeux Machin improved when runner-up last time and looks the biggest threat, with Sa Fureur engaged to run on Saturday.

Even though he has run every month since March, the likeable LUCID DREAMS has held his form well and can record a third win over fences

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (9/5 +10%) Bugise Seagull	1.8 9/5(+10%)	(2) Bugise Seagull 9/5, £95,000 purchase after finishing runner-up on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Nov 2022). Took a year to get back to the track but he looked a nice prospect when landing 15-runner novice at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Open to plenty of progress. Bright start to hurdle career when romping home at Catterick (2m3f); more to come.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/4 +23%) Supremely West	1.25 5/4(+23%)	(1) Supremely West 5/4, Unbeaten in bumpers and bright start over hurdles in recent months, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts in a Sedgefield novice (19.8f) last month. Double penalty to carry but he can leave bare form behind. Won all 3 bumpers; unextended on latest 2 hurdle runs over 2m1f and 2m4f; improve further.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +22%) High Treason	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(4) High Treason 7/2, From a good family and made a positive start when second in a Ffos Las bumper. Unable to build on that when third at Chepstow 8 months ago but this step up in trip is sure to suit now hurdling. Looked a stout stayer in both bumpers; this trip should suit better on switch to hurdles.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 -40%) Just In A Bit	14 14/1(-40%)	(5) Just In A Bit 14/1, £14,000 3-y-o, first foal, dam, little show in bumpers, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Romeo Brown out of useful 2m-2¼m hurdle winner Santia. Placed both starts in points, runner-up latest (Apr 30). Jumps pedigree; some promise in the second of two points; up against it on hurdle debut.
5th	7 5th (7) (400/1 -300%) Willwekeephim	400 400/1(-300%)	(7) Willwekeephim 400/1, Well held in 3 bumpers in Ireland for Peter John Flood and offered little sent hurdling for this yard. Modest form in bumpers and maiden hurdles; more at home when switching to handicaps.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (150/1 -127%) The Breadman	150 150/1(-127%)	(6) The Breadman 150/1, Conduit gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser The Jam Man. Dam Italian 1¼m winner. Pedigree mostly about the Flat but one sibling is smart jumper The Jam Man; belated debut.

LTO Selection:

SUPREMELY WEST was able to comprehensively defy a penalty when winning at Sedgefield last month and the progressive son of Westerner might be a tough nut to crack once again. That said, Bugise Seagull and Thank You Blue both made successful hurdling debuts last time so they must be respected in receipt of 4lb from the selection. High Treason completes the shortlist.

BUGISE SEAGULL was well prepared following a year off the track when winning at Catterick 3 weeks ago and, with the promise of more to come, the 4 lb he receives from Supremely West may prove decisive. High Treason is bred to relish this trip now hurdling and he commands respect, too.

The three previous winners all have something to recommend them but SUPREMELY WEST can bring up the three-timer over hurdles.

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (16/1 +20%) Pakens Rock	16 16/1(+20%)	(10) Pakens Rock 16/1, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy, 25/1) 21 days ago. Back down in trip. Heading back in the right direction. Not discredited back hurdling at Cork the last twice, more needed.
2	16 2nd (16) (15/2 +66%) Big Island	7.5 15/2(+66%)	(16) Big Island 15/2, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 9/1) 29 days ago. Bounce back required. Overall solid form; too keen and paid the price at Navan last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +38%) Bowmore	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(5) Bowmore 5/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Creditable third of 8 in minor event hurdle at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft, 3/1) 160 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and may have more to offer. Lightly raced 5yo for whom opening mark looks fair enough and one to consider.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -65%) Abbeydale	14 14/1(-65%)	(3) Abbeydale 14/1, Winner in hurdle at Gowran in March. Sixth of 9 in minor event hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft, 5/1). Off 8 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut for top yard but has work to do. Gowran maiden winner flopped in rated novice; may still have more to offer on handicap bow.
5th	2 5th (2) (50/1 -100%) Zoffanien	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) Zoffanien 50/1, 25/1, fell in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.1f, heavy). Off 10 months. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Absent since halfway faller at Gowran back in February so watching brief advised on return.
6th	8 6th (8) (33/1 -175%) David Garrick	33 33/1(-175%)	(8) David Garrick 33/1, Tailed-off last of 7 to Irish Point in Jezki Hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 50/1) 37 days ago, pulling hard. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Flat winner is 0-6 hurdling, ground should suit on handicap debut.
7th	14 7th (14) (8/1 +33%) Theonewedreamof	8 8/1(+33%)	(14) Theonewedreamof 8/1, Bit below form eighth of 20 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Can give a good account. Progressive up until recent Navan blip; still respected.
8th	4 8th (4) (25/1 -56%) Bua Boy	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Bua Boy 25/1, Twentieth of 26 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft). Off 21 months. Absent since Cheltenham 2022 so market likely best guide to his readiness.
9th	12 9th (12) (10/1 -25%) Clever Currency	10 10/1(-25%)	(12) Clever Currency 10/1, Latest win in chase at Sligo in September. Good second of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 9/2) 23 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Versatile front-runner in good form under both codes; has to enter calculations.
11	11 \|F\| (11) (11/4 +39%) Whiskeywealth	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(11) Whiskeywealth 11/4, 9/2, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17f, soft) 15 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Expected to be bang there from this very tempting mark. Creditable valuable handicap chase runs lately; interesting off 13lb lower hurdles mark.
10th	13 10th (13) (18/1 -13%) Marvel Fan	18 18/1(-13%)	(13) Marvel Fan 18/1, Fourteenth of 21 in handicap (8/1) at Navan (14f, heavy) 60 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Fairly useful hurdler, creditable on last chase outing. Enters calculations for shrwed yard. Last year's second out of form but can't be ruled out.
11th	1 11th (1) (11/1 +0%) Minx Tiara	11 11/1(+0%)	(1) Minx Tiara 11/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/3, third of 5 in minor event chase at Clonmel (18.3f, heavy) 52 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and is slightly lower in the weights. Useful mare but on a long losing run and this trip on the short side.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (22/1 +56%) Ballybaun Star	22 22/1(+56%)	(15) Ballybaun Star 22/1, Unreliable type. Respectable seventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 50/1) 29 days ago. May have needed last month's Navan run; ideally wants a bit further and others preferred.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (40/1 -150%) Rock On Seamie	40 40/1(-150%)	(7) Rock On Seamie 40/1, Latest win in hurdle at Downpatrick in June. 18/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20.3f, heavy) 79 days ago. Down in trip. Return to better ground here in his favour but others less exposed.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 -21%) Tullypole Annie	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Tullypole Annie 40/1, Sixth of 8 in novice chase at Punchestown (15.6f, soft, 11/1) 31 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers on 1st time. Two underwhelming chase efforts this term; blinkers now fitted for hurdles return.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (66/1 -100%) Thousand Tears	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Thousand Tears 66/1, Last of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f, 18/1). Off 12 months. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Down in trip. Rejoined yard after leaving Emmet Mullins. Back from year's absence for original trainer; may need this.

LTO Selection:

BOWMORE lacks a recent run but is suited by this distance and yielding ground. He ran well in a hot Leopardstown maiden last Christmas before winning at Wexford and while the lacks of a recent run isn't ideal, his Roscommon form is useful and being lightly-raced can progress. Clever Currency is dependable under all codes and while he doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper, should run his usual race. Abbeydale was well held on his latest run in March but is better judged on previous form and debuts in handicaps under a 5lb claimer. Whiskeywealth is rated 13lb lower in this sphere than over fences and finished third on his latest hurdles run in March. Theonewedreamof has won once from 12 hurdle runs and was well held on a recent run. Minx Tiara is rated 6lb higher over fences but was well held on her most recent hurdles outing while Rock On Seamie ran well at Gowran in September. Joey Sheridan has his first jumps ride on long-absent Zoffanien.

WHISKEYWEALTH has a lower mark to work with over hurdles in relation to his chase rating and with a good-value 7 lb conditional on, he has a lot to recommend him. Bowmore is going the right way and is in superb hands so he's a threat, along with Marvel Fan.

The ground appears to come right for CLEVER CURRENCY who has been in fine form of late over fences and on the polytrack

1	6 1st (6) (7/1 +50%) Anglers Crag	7 7/1(+50%)	(6) Anglers Crag 7/1, Point winner who made a successful start for David Pipe in Leicester novice hurdle in February 2022. Hasn't kicked on from that since and added to a patchy record at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) 8 months ago. Has since moved yards (had wind op). Heed the market signals on debut for new yard (remains with same owner).
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -29%) Track And Trace	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Track And Trace 9/1, Placed in an Irish point and got off the mark over hurdles at the second attempt when scoring at Warwick in September. Well held both starts since, however, including at Leicester on chase bow/return. Should still do better if his Irish point effort (solid form) is anything to go by.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/8 +7%) Fenland Tiger	1.625 13/8(+7%)	(5) Fenland Tiger 13/8, Improved for longer trips/switch to handicaps last term, showing a willing attitude to complete the hat-trick at Newcastle. Defied 11-month absence when making a winning chase bow over C&D 7 weeks ago and probably has more to offer still. C&D scorer in chase/seasonal debut; now 4-5 in handicaps and 2-2 at Carlisle; respected.
4	9 4th (9) (22/1 -175%) Wavelength	22 22/1(-175%)	(9) Wavelength 22/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Gavin Cromwell. Got off the mark for his new yard in handicap chase at Hexham 19 months ago but well held on belated return there 5 weeks ago. Won off this mark at Hexham in May 2022, then was absent until poor run last month.
5th	7 5th (7) (4/1 -45%) Return Fire	4 4/1(-45%)	(7) Return Fire 4/1, Likeable type and made the most of a good opportunity after 5 months off when scoring at Hexham, making all and jumping soundly. Decent third at Kelso next time and back down in class here. Has made an encouraging start to his campaign; has form that suggests he'll stay 3m2f.
6th	3 6th (3) (18/1 +10%) Prince Des Fichaux	18 18/1(+10%)	(3) Prince Des Fichaux 18/1, Took well to fences last term, landing 10-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las (25.3f, good to soft) in April (final start for Sam Thomas). Well held both starts for this yard this term, however. New headgear needs to have a reviving effect on third run for new stable.
7th	8 7th (8) (25/1 +24%) Uptown Harry	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Uptown Harry 25/1, Ridden positively and took full advantage of a drop in the weights when landing 9-runner handicap chase here (20f) in March. More miss than hit nowadays, however, and ran no sort of race after 7 months off here 7 weeks ago. Significantly back up in trip. Beaten a long way on reappearance and has stamina to prove over this trip.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (9/1 -100%) Motion In Limine	9 9/1(-100%)	(2) Motion In Limine 9/1, Fair hurdler. Solid start to his chase career when second at Cartmel and backed that up at the second attempt at Sedgefield last month, collared dying strides. Player. Clear second at Sedgefield last time; raised 3lb but Luke Scott takes off handy 5lb.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (17/2 +74%) The Electrician	8.5 17/2(+74%)	(10) The Electrician 17/2, Dual winner over shorter last season but more recent efforts have lacked verve, only really putting it in when the race was all but over when third at Doncaster on second start for this yard 2 weeks ago. Not disgraced on latest outing but that race somewhat fell apart.

LTO Selection:

FENLAND TIGER made the perfect start to life over the larger obstacles when winning over course and distance in October. Sam England's gelding must now compete from a 4lb raised mark, but that might not be enough to stop him with improvement on the cards. Return Fire drops in class and he appeals as a leading candidate following a string of solid performances. Motion In Limine only gave way late on over 3m3f at Sedgefield last month, so he might fare better now eased marginally in trip.

RETURN FIRE has made a positive start to the season and can resume winning ways back down in class. Fenland Tiger made it 4 wins from his last 5 starts over C&D on his chase bow/return and is the obvious threat, with Motion In Limine best of the others.

The strongest contender is progressive FENLAND TIGER (nap). Motion In Limine is feared most.

Should progress from workable mark in consideration to his hurdles form. Trip and ground fine and better for latest run at Galway; 10lb lower than his hurdles mark.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/2 +8%) Rolly Bowley Boy	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(2) Rolly Bowley Boy 11/2, Showed promise when third of 10 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (24.5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Enters calculations. Came back from seven months off with decent third in 3m beginners' chase at Fairyhouse.
3	7 3rd (7) (10/1 +44%) Teescomponentsyess	10 10/1(+44%)	(7) Teescomponentsyess 10/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy, 10/1) 49 days ago. Others preferred. Ran okay on handicap debut at Galway when fifth to a subsequent Cheltenham winner.
4	6 4th (6) (7/2 +36%) Josh D'id	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(6) Josh D'id 7/2, Likely to have made frame when unseated rider 2 out in handicap chase at this course (17f, heavy) won by Misty Hollow. Off 9 months. Up in trip. Should have more to offer. Was running a nice race on handicap debut behind Misty Hollow here when exiting two out.
5th	4 5th (4) (13/2 +35%) Carrolls Cottage	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(4) Carrolls Cottage 13/2, Unreliable individual. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Naas (20f, soft, 9/1) 35 days ago, racing lazily. On a decent mark if regaining his form but looks opposable again. 20-race maiden over fences and finished weakly over this trip at Naas last month.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/4 +31%) Wee Charlie	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(8) Wee Charlie 11/4, Good second of 15 in novice chase (7/1) at Tramore (21.4f, soft) 19 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Sets the benchmark. Good second in a beginners' at Tramore; handicap debut and should go well for local yard.
7th	11 7th (11) (50/1 +0%) Lavinia Fontana	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) Lavinia Fontana 50/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.4f, soft) 19 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Very hard to fancy. Beaten 36l on h'cap debut at Tramore and blinkers go on here; no weight but hard to fancy.
3	3 \|F\| (3) (7/1 +7%) Backintheroom	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Backintheroom 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Eighth of 9 in novice chase at Naas (20f, soft, 200/1) 35 days ago, considerately handled. May well do better now handicapping. Not much since maiden hurdle win but opening chase mark is 10lb lower so might contend.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (66/1 +0%) Masterstonemason	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Masterstonemason 66/1, Two wins from 41 NH runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, soft) 59 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Poor form over hurdles this year and his chase form is moderate; can't have him.

LTO Selection:

WEE CHARLIE has made steady progress since beginning his career over fences in October, and his most recent effort at Tramore when just outstayed on the run-in, screamed of a winner waiting to happen. He can go one better on the drop in trip, with course winner Misty Hollow looking best placed to chase him home on his first run since March. Hardwired is a big player under these conditions, having won over further on his penultimate start, while Rolly Bowley Boy is another finding his way in this sphere.

WEE CHARLIE looks to have been handed a lenient opening mark on the back of an encouraging second in a Tramore novice last month and he's taken to make a winning handicap chase debut. Fellow handicap newcomers Backintheroom and Pour Pavore have been given considerate rides in their qualifying runs and better can be expected.

A consistent sort over hurdles, WEE CHARLIE gets the vote to score on handicap chase debut after an encouraging display at Tramore

Merits consideration once more for last year's winning yard. Bumper/novice hurdle winner; not gone on in handicaps; promising 3rd back at 2m latest.
2	1 2nd (1) (5/4 +38%) Oakley Dancer	1.25 5/4(+38%)	(1) Oakley Dancer 5/4, Got off the mark at Chepstow in March and defied a penalty in Newton Abbot novice two months later. Resumed from 6 months off with an excellent third on her handicap bow at Leicester so she's a player. Two novice wins before creditable 3rd to well-treated rival on handicap debut; respected.
3	3 3rd (3) (5/2 +55%) Ravenscar	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(3) Ravenscar 5/2, Dual 2m scorer last season who arrives on the back of a respectable third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 24 days ago. In the mix off a 2 lb lower mark. Dual winner early this year; signs of returning to form latest; on winning mark.

LTO Selection:

OAKLEY DANCER found it difficult getting through the heavy ground at Leicester last month, although she still performed with credit, and arguably sets the standard on the form of her commanding successes at Chepstow and Newton Abbot. Walk Of No Shame may be winless since February but she has been in consistent form of late, while Shelikesthelights is capable on her day.

A case can be made for all of the quartet but the vote goes to OAKLEY DANCER who posted an excellent third on her seasonal return at Leicester and can build on it to quickly resume winning ways. Jonjo O'Neill captured this prize 12 months ago and his in-form mare Walk of No Shame is next on the list ahead of the consistent Ravenscar.

Walk Of No Shame was a promising 3rd on the return to 2m last time but RAVENSCAR also has a good deal to recommend her.

7	7 \|PU\| (7) (10/1 +0%) Ottizzini	10 10/1(+0%)	(7) Ottizzini 10/1, Fair hurdler. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Respectable third of 8 in novice hurdle (6/5) at Musselburgh (19.8f, soft) 17 days ago. Got a kick before the start when a beaten favourite at Musselburgh, capable of better.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (11/1 +8%) Camino Rock	11 11/1(+8%)	(9) Camino Rock 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Remains a maiden after 10 hurdle runs. Respectable second of 10 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (25f, good to soft, 7/4) 114 days ago. Others more persuasive. 113-rated maiden, trip not a problem but will need a career-best to beat previous winners.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (80/1 -100%) Meritorious	80 80/1(-100%)	(8) Meritorious 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. 28/1, below form thirteenth of 21 in handicap at Navan (14f, heavy) 60 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving John McConnell. Flat winner in Britain, 116-rated maiden over hurdles, makes stable debut, tough task.

LTO Selection:

GETAWAY CHARLIE has recent course and distance form. Runner-up to Corbetts Cross in an October 2022 bumper, he was beaten 22 lengths by Easy Fella last June and while now 14lb better off, he has also improved recently. The winner of his recent C&D race disappointed on a subsequent run but the fourth-placed mare was Grade 3-placed last weekend. Easy Fella debuts for a new yard and while he will appreciate the forecast conditions, lacks a recent run. Bob Cigar was beaten 10 lengths by Ottizzini last May and while the former won recently, Ottizzini's two recent runs were underwhelming. Camino Rock runs from 2lb out of the handicap and hasn't run since August but stays well and was a close third of 25 at the Punchestown festival in April. Mint Boy was a disappointing beaten-favourite at Galway in October but is capable of better and steps up in distance while Kimbara was well beaten in a November Grade 2 at Cheltenham and drops in grade.

KINBARA wasn't disgraced when fourth in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last month and can resume winning ways back down in class. The progressive Bob Cigar is next best ahead of Easy Fella and Getaway Charlie.

The vote goes to BOB CIGAR who can continue to make progress after a convincing handicap win at Punchestown

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (9/2 +0%) Just Call Me Lucy	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(7) Just Call Me Lucy 9/2, Related to a point winner and shaped with some encouragement when fourth in a bumper at Aintree 49 days ago. Should step forward from that, so looks a big player. Not especially well bred but has possibilities if building on Aintree effort.
2	5 2nd (5) (11/2 +73%) Holly Bird	5.5 11/2(+73%)	(5) Holly Bird 11/2, Mount Nelson filly. Dam unraced, closely related to top-class hurdler/very smart chaser (winner up to 21f) Oscar Whisky. Would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in her favour. Trainer is only 1-9 in bumpers this season; market should give further guidance.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/2 -63%) Golden Point	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(3) Golden Point 13/2, From a good family and showed a bit when fourth at Ayr 43 days ago. Open to improvement and could make her presence felt. Nicely bred filly who showed promise with her front-running fourth at Ayr.
4	8 4th (8) (Evens +47%) Unsinkable Molly B	0 Evens(+47%)	(8) Unsinkable Molly B Evens, Second of 13 in bumper at Wetherby (16f, soft, 4/1) on NH debut, going with enthusiasm. Merits plenty of respect after 8 months off. Brings the best bumper form, having finished clear second at Wetherby in March.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 -83%) Ice Day	22 22/1(-83%)	(6) Ice Day 22/1, €55,000 3-y-o, Walzertakt mare. Closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Hawai Tree in France. Dam 17f hurdle winner in France. One to take seriously on debut. 55,000euros 3yo; closely related to a French jumps winner; market can guide.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 +67%) Alltheroadrunning	11 11/1(+67%)	(1) Alltheroadrunning 11/1, £5,000 3-y-o, £48,000 4-y-o, Telescope mare. Sister to fair hurdler Pay The Pilot, and half-sister to dual bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler Unwin Vc. Third sole start in Irish points (Apr 2022). Promising third in Irish point 20 months ago and that form has substance.
7th	4 7th (4) (33/1 +34%) Hey Mama Rock Me	33 33/1(+34%)	(4) Hey Mama Rock Me 33/1, €11,500 3-y-o, Mahler filly. Sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Notachance. Dam point winner. Will probably need more time. 11,500euros 3yo; judged on breeding she's one for staying races in due course.

LTO Selection:

JUST CALL ME LUCY caught the eye when staying on into fourth at Aintree on her racecourse debut, a race in which the first three home were all more prominent. She looks set to improve with that initial experience under her belt and is preferred to newcomer Cool Lady Too, who represents a trainer who has a solid record in these types of contests. Golden Point is also noted.

UNSINKABLE MOLLY B travelled strongly when second in a bumper at Wetherby 8 months ago and there's some scope for her to improve with the benefit of that initial experience, so she's narrowly preferred to Just Call Me Lucy, who also made a pleasing start. Cool Lady Too is the pick of the newcomers on paper.

Wetherby runner-up UNSINKABLE MOLLY B is the pick on bumper form. Interesting newcomer Cool Lady Too is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (9/4 +50%) Jalon D'oudairies	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(2) Jalon D'oudairies 9/4, Won sole start in points (Mar 12) and readily off the mark at the first time of asking under Rules in 6-runner event at Fairyhouse. Open to significant improvement and looks the main danger to Redemption Day. Quickened up well to win slowly-run bumper at Fairyhouse earlier this month.
1	6 1st (6) (5/4 +81%) The Enabler	1.25 5/4(+81%)	(6) The Enabler 5/4, 8/11, off the mark at second attempt in 6-runner bumper at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 22 days ago. Worth a try in this grade. Easy win in another slowly-run bumper at Punchestown last time; those behind were ordinary.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 +59%) Fleur In The Park	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(1) Fleur In The Park 13/2, Made a winning start, then good second of 11 in bumper at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 67 days ago, running on. Plenty to find on form. Roscommon winner was narrowly denied by a useful Mullins-trained favourite at Punchestown.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +50%) Springt De La Mare	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(5) Springt De La Mare 5/2, Won sole start in points and followed up in 7-runner event over C&D a month ago. Was all out there, though and this is much stronger. Hard enough race over C&D when clinging on from useful runner-up who has hacked up since.
4	8 4th (8) (17/2 +29%) Glens Lullaby	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(8) Glens Lullaby 17/2, Twice-raced maiden. 7/1, second of 16 in bumper at Galway (16f, heavy) 49 days ago. Could step forward again. Went close on second start at Galway (third won since) but has a lot to find.
5th	7 5th (7) (16/1 +60%) Cola Blaze	16 16/1(+60%)	(7) Cola Blaze 16/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, won 11-runner bumper at Thurles (16.1f, soft, 25/1) 45 days ago. A lot more is required here. Was 25-1 when readily winning ordinary Thurles bumper in first-time tongue-tie last month.
6th	4 6th (4) (15/2 +32%) Scamall Bawn	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(4) Scamall Bawn 15/2, Promising type. 11/1, won 9-runner bumper at Cork (19f, good to soft) on NH debut 41 days ago, cosily. Open to improvement and can't be ruled out. Quite impressive debut at Cork (2m3f) in October; yard always respected and more to come.

LTO Selection:

Given he was a close second in the Champion Bumper at last year's Punchestown Festival, Redemption Day boasts the strongest form and is considered despite this being his first start for 599 days. However, this is a race littered with potential and JALON D'OUDAIRIES, a 420,000-pounds recruit after he won his sole start on the point-to-point sphere, is just preferred with his match fitness proven after comfortably landing a Fairyhouse bumper 15 days ago. Open to any amount of progression, he is a highly appealing horse for Gordon Elliott to go to war with this season. The selection's stablemate The Enabler and previous C&D winner Springt De La Mare are a couple of others to consider.

REDEMPTION hasn't been seen for 19 months but that was when runner-up to Facile Vega and, if he retains that ability he will double his tally on return. Jalon D'Oudairies looks a good prospect and should be feared, while The Enabler is also of interest.

The selection is SCAMALL BAWN who needs to progress appreciably from his win at Cork but, given the yard he's from, can do just that

1	7 1st (7) (4/1 +0%) Realisation	4 4/1(+0%)	(7) Realisation 4/1, Picked up for £130,000 after finishing second on sole start between the flags and she made a winning Rules debut in a bumper at Bangor. Fitted with a first-time tongue strap when a very good third of 13 in 2m4f Hereford maiden hurdle last month. Player now handicapping. Good winner of useful bumper in 2022; improved on 2nd hurdle start; should do better yet.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/2 +13%) Sister Michael	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(5) Sister Michael 7/2, Opened his account over C&D in May, 2022, but off for 13 months since posting a good C&D second on his final run for Fergal O'Brien. Handily weighted on his comeback run for new yard and worth a market check. Solid on C&D form for Fergal O'Brien but off for over a year; market can guide; new yard.
3	3 3rd (3) (11/4 +8%) Globe Player	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(3) Globe Player 11/4, Fair form shown when placed on all his three runs, posting a solid third of 7 in novice hurdle at Leicester (20.5f, heavy) 27 days ago. Much respected on his handicap hurdle debut. Scopey; improving with experience and good 3rd over 2m4f latest; handicap debut.
4	2 4th (2) (80/1 -220%) Toronet	80 80/1(-220%)	(2) Toronet 80/1, Winner of a claiming hurdle at Fontainebleau (17.6f) in February (subsequently claimed from Julien Phelippon for €19,999). Much too free on yard debut when last of 7 over 2m here in May. Lots more is needed after a break. Won 2m2f claiming hurdle on final French start; tailed off on British debut in May.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/1 -60%) Grasshopper Time	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) Grasshopper Time 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden hurdler. 22/1, first run since leaving Roger McGrath when well-held sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Much more is required on his handicap hurdle debut. Minor hurdle promise in Ireland; highly tried on British debut; much more realistic here.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (9/2 +18%) Swinging London	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(1) Swinging London 9/2, A fair winning hurdler who got back on track when fourth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (16f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Enters calculations now stepping up in trip. Favourably treated on form in early 2023 but below best on last 3 starts; new trip.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (5/1 -25%) Heross Du Seuil	5 5/1(-25%)	(4) Heross Du Seuil 5/1, Successful at Uttoxeter (2½m) in September and has continued in good nick, fourth at Market Rasen (2m) last time. Shortlisted back up in trip. Ended losing run in September (2m4f, soft); lesser efforts of late; tongue-tie added.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (33/1 -136%) Mistertommyshelby	33 33/1(-136%)	(8) Mistertommyshelby 33/1, Overall record an uninspiring one and was tailed off in a handicap at Uttoxeter 70 days ago. 14 lb out of the handicap too. Not within striking distance of the winner in 3 runs this year; long way out of weights.

LTO Selection:

A respectable third on each of his two starts in maiden hurdles, GLOBE PLAYER looks to have a been given a workable mark on his handicap debut as he looks to get off the mark. The four-year-old seems to have conditions in his favour and may have too much for Swinging London and Realisation, who hasn't been able to replicate the form of her bumper success at Bangor last October in two starts over timber this season.

REALISATION showed the benefit of a tongue tie when a very good Hereford third last time and she can add to her bumper success now stepping into handicap company for the first time. Swinging London comes here in good nick and can go well with the return to further a likely plus, while Sister Michael could emerge as a big threat too if the market vibes prove positive on his comeback run.

Useful bumper winner REALISATION (nap) has her best chance yet since switched to hurdles and this handicap debut doesn't look demanding.

Dam 11f-15f bumper winner in France. Runner-up on second of 3 starts in points, fourth last time (Nov 12). Touched off in a point-to-point but best watched on bumper debut.

LTO Selection:

FEMME MAGNIFIQUE finished second on point-to-point debut and while it is a small concern she runs in a tongue-tie, has joined formidable connections. Previously trained by Matthew Flynn O'Connor, the winner of that Carrigarostig point was subsequently sold for 85,000 pounds but has disappointed once in the UK although the beaten final-fence faller subsequently won a maiden hurdle, which adds weight to the form. Stagecoach Mary has run well twice and debuts for a new yard. She was well held in a Gowran Listed bumper in September but that was a strong race and this is a lesser assignment. Pitwood Road won at Curraghmore last April and having run well in a Tipperary point-to-point bumper subsequently, should competitive. Lady Bluebird finished a useful second when beating Amanha by nine lengths into third at Naas last month while Whatsupnellie ran well at Limerick and can progress. Thats All was well beaten when finishing third at Punchestown while Koolio Kate is a half-sister to two winners and might be useful.

FEMME MAGNIFIQUE has already shown plenty in points and represents top connections, so she's a confident choice to make a successful Rules debut. Pitwood Road is the best of those with bumper form and Whatsupnell can't be ruled out.

Femme Magnifique has to be respected for the champion trainer but perhaps PITWOOD ROAD could take the beating

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.
