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

MUSKERRY ROCK had some fair form under Rules for Mouse Morris and was placed in a handicap over course and distance last season. The Shirocco gelding has won a couple of point-to-points this autumn and his yard had a hurdles winner here on Saturday. West Of Carrig was third in a stronger renewal of this last year and chased home the winner of that race, Con's Roc, at Fairyhouse last month. He can come forward from that first outing in six months and looks a big player. Derek O'Connor's mounts in this sphere always have to be respected and Keep On Dreaming was a fair third on Rules debut at Tipperary in May.

Having run okay in a handicap chase over C&D last Christmas, MUSKERRY ROCK is selected; he's been in decent form in points lately

1	5 1st (5) (6/1 -80%) Lynches Knock	6 6/1(-80%)	(5) Lynches Knock 6/1 May reverse Navan form with Kilbarry Lizzy, a useful second string for Hygge's trainer.
2	13 2nd (13) (5/2 +38%) Kilbarry Lizzy	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(13) Kilbarry Lizzy 5/2 Placed on both starts, not certain to uphold Navan form with third-placed Lynches Knock.

6th	9 6th (9) (25/1 -127%) Try Them	25 25/1(-127%)	(9) Try Them 25/1 Hooded for debut, trainer also runs the once-raced Circle Of Secrets, worth a market check.
7th	15 7th (15) (80/1 -264%) Shirzan	80 80/1(-264%)	(15) Shirzan 80/1 Half-sister to two Flat winners; winning dam a half-sister to Group 2 winner Eleonora Duse.
8th	7 8th (7) (9/1 -13%) O'grady Cracker	9 9/1(-13%)	(7) O'grady Cracker 9/1 Failed to live up to market expectations at Naas a fortnight ago, cheekpieces tried now.
9th	11 9th (11) (250/1 -25%) Datzdjazz	250 250/1(-25%)	(11) Datzdjazz 250/1 Dropped away to finish a remote eighth at Cork, in rear at Naas, safe to rule out.
10th	1 10th (1) (150/1 -200%) Chief Josef	150 150/1(-200%)	(1) Chief Josef 150/1 Sixth at Navan, appears well held by the placed horses Kilbarry Lizzy and Lynches Knock.
11th	8 11th (8) (80/1 -60%) Starword	80 80/1(-60%)	(8) Starword 80/1 Dam an unraced half-sister to three dual-purpose winners for this yard and other winners.
12th	3 12th (3) (4/1 +92%) Ddakji	4 4/1(+92%)	(3) Ddakji 4/1 Unraced dam comes from a good family, could go well here for rookie trainer.

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

O'GRADY CRACKER was sent off favourite for his first start at Naas. The subject of sustained market support, Andy Slattery's gelding ultimately disappointed, but he should step forward from that initial experience and may benefit from the application of cheekpieces. Slattery also saddles newcomer Mischievous Fun, with Gordon Elliott, Emmet Mullins and Ciaran Murphy also doubly represented. The choice of Jack Kennedy, Hygge appears the pic of Elliott's pair, while going on form alone, the twice-placed Kilbarry Lizzy is the one they all have to beat.

Gordon Elliott saddles two who have shown promise, and HYGGE is slightly preferred to Lynches Knock

11:40 Leopardstown 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

11:45 Kelso (Class 3) 17f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (1/6 +8%) The Four Sixes	0.166667 1/6(+8%)	(2) The Four Sixes 1/6 Useful hurdler who won a match over fences in October; has another good opportunity here.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 +0%) Aeros Luck	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(1) Aeros Luck 9/2 Useful form when winning in Ireland in June but has lost his way since.
3	3 3rd (3) (25/1 +50%) Chumlee	25 25/1(+50%)	(3) Chumlee 25/1 Fourth in low-grade C&D handicap last month; faces tough task at these weights.

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

It's difficult to look beyond the 144-rated THE FOUR SIXES, who is likely to find this a lot easier than his latest sixth in a handicap hurdle at Haydock. The seven-year-old previously made all over fences at Wetherby and he's a clear pick. Although Aeros Luck has yet to cut much ice in two starts for Sandy Thomson, he looks the obvious danger to the selection, ahead of Chumlee.

The most obvious answer is very useful hurdler THE FOUR SIXES, who easily won a match race when back over fences in October.

1	2 1st (2) (11/10 +20%) Blue Las		1.1 11/10(+20%)																															(2) Blue Las 11/10 Something to prove regarding stamina/jumping but could have more to offer in this sphere.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/6 -17%) Maximilian		0.666667 4/6(-17%)																															(1) Maximilian 4/6 Grade 2 novice hurdle win here in 2023; went close on recent chase debut; strong claims.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content,

Maximilian displayed more verve when second on his chasing bow at Haydock and any improvement for that seasonal reappearance can see this go right to the wire. However, it could be worth taking a chance on BLUE LAS, who receives 7lb from Donald McCain's charge and she shapes as if stepping up in trip could unlock some improvement on just her third start over fences.

Blue Las is a talented mare but jumping has been an issue on her two chase starts which tips the scales in favour of MAXIMILIAN.

1	12 1st (12) (11/4 +8%) Duffys Hodey	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(12) Duffys Hodey 11/4 112-rated hurdler; up 5lb for Fairyhouse second to an improver on just second chase start.
2	1 2nd (1) (16/1 -33%) Mickie Angel	16 16/1(-33%)	(1) Mickie Angel 16/1 Winning hurdler in bred for this game and was third over 3m at Fairyhouse; handicap debut.
3	10 3rd (10) (12/1 +40%) One And Only	12 12/1(+40%)	(10) One And Only 12/1 Fair hurdler and second in Downpatrick h'cap chase last year; let down by jumping latest.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -140%) Aclass	12 12/1(-140%)	(3) Aclass 12/1 Won at Tramore and second to an improver at Thurles; stays farther than this.

6th	6 6th (6) (12/1 +25%) Slotty Dotty	12 12/1(+25%)	(6) Slotty Dotty 12/1 Placed at Fairyhouse but beaten 30l latest; softer ground a help and good claimer booked.
7th	9 7th (9) (10/1 +60%) Way Down South	10 10/1(+60%)	(9) Way Down South 10/1 Maiden hurdle winner here a year ago; ran okay on handicap chase debut at Thurles.
8th	11 8th (11) (66/1 -65%) Zolpharine	66 66/1(-65%)	(11) Zolpharine 66/1 Second 4 times over fences including at Killarney in August; not coming here in great form.

2	2 \|U\| (2) (50/1 +0%) Your Honor	50 50/1(+0%)	(2) Your Honor 50/1 Won nice pot over hurdles here two years ago; hasn't run too badly in chases; good amateur.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (5/2 +25%) Hees Dynamite	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(4) Hees Dynamite 5/2 In fine form this year and has won two of his last three chases; stays well and ground ok.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (7/1 -27%) James The Brave	7 7/1(-27%)	(5) James The Brave 7/1 Killarney winner was narrowly beaten by A Great Buzz over 3m (heavy) at Punchestown.

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

DUFFYS HODEY has a lot in his favour and should be hard to beat off bottom-weight. Trip and ground will suit Philip Rothwell's runner, who has a hurdles mark of 112 but can run off just 84 here. He proved that the disparity in ratings was not just an advantage on paper when chasing home a subsequent winner in a Fairyhouse chase last month and should be sharper for that first outing since February. Hees Dynamite comes here in great form but has to give 25lb to the selection. A Great Buzz and James The Brave are closely matched on Punchestown running and have progressive profiles.

Second to an improver at Fairyhouse, DUFFYS HODEY (nap) has gone up a few pounds but is still chucked in compared to his hurdles mark

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (4/1 -33%) White Noise	4 4/1(-33%)	(4) White Noise 4/1 Going the right way after making light work of a 10lb lower mark at Market Rasen.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/2 +44%) Graecia	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(8) Graecia 9/2 Can race keenly but a consistent filly who has been running well in 2m handicaps.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +8%) Tour Ovalie	6 6/1(+8%)	(5) Tour Ovalie 6/1 Won this last year and returns on the back of a return to form at Ludlow; handy mark.
4	3 4th (3) (11/2 -22%) Miss Altea Blue	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(3) Miss Altea Blue 11/2 Sixth in her previous handicap but looks to have turned a corner after wind surgery.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 +33%) Rula Bula	3 3/1(+33%)	(2) Rula Bula 3/1 Carlisle winner in November; worrying that last season petered out after a positive start.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 +65%) Lagertha	14 14/1(+65%)	(6) Lagertha 14/1 Retains potential and comeback run in a Stratford handicap (2m, good) was mildly promising.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 +44%) Golden Falls	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) Golden Falls 14/1 A winner in France; this is more realistic than the assignment she faces on UK debut.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 -100%) Arclight	10 10/1(-100%)	(1) Arclight 10/1 Dual hurdle winnner; 10lb lower than when runner-up in a chase in September.

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

All of these have claims, but none more so than WHITE NOISE. The five-year-old bolted up on her handicap debut at Market Rasen in November and, given the strength of that form, even a 10lb rise may still underestimate her. Arclight is well handicapped compared to her chase mark now returned to hurdles and she is an obvious danger. Others to note are Rula Bula and Miss Altea Blue.

It's hard to rule out any of these. WHITE NOISE is progressive, unexposed and marginally preferred over Arclight.

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (11/2 +8%) Frankie John	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(6) Frankie John 11/2 Point/bumper winner; placed in all his runs over hurdles, including a Grade 3 last time.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/4 +17%) Jalon D'oudairies	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(9) Jalon D'oudairies 11/4 Classy bumper horse; encouraging second after an absence on hurdling debut.
3	10 3rd (10) (40/1 -100%) Rusty Harkness	40 40/1(-100%)	(10) Rusty Harkness 40/1 Naas debut wasn't devoid of promise but he's the stable second string here.
4	8 4th (8) (25/1 +24%) Irish Champ	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Irish Champ 25/1 Recent point winner but the runner-up was making it 0-7 in that scene.
5th	2 5th (2) (3/1 -33%) Dani Donadoni	3 3/1(-33%)	(2) Dani Donadoni 3/1 Bumper winner and probably succumbed to a good horse in his first maiden.
6th	3 6th (3) (300/1 -100%) Double Power	300 300/1(-100%)	(3) Double Power 300/1 Unable to win any of his nine points and highly unlikely that he'll be winning this.
7th	5 7th (5) (3/1 -33%) Forty Coats	3 3/1(-33%)	(5) Forty Coats 3/1 Fourth in a Grade 1 at Cheltenham in March; hard to beat if repeating that level of form.
8th	7 8th (7) (50/1 -52%) Gallant George	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Gallant George 50/1 Runner-up in a point last month but that doesn't look strong form.
9th	12 9th (12) (100/1 -100%) Kaleo Ametsa	100 100/1(-100%)	(12) Kaleo Ametsa 100/1 No closer than 11l in four bumpers; fell three out when 22-1 for hurdling debut at Cork.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (25/1 -56%) Dysart Dolomite	25 25/1(-56%)	(4) Dysart Dolomite 25/1 Ayr bumper winner; his run in a Fairyhouse maiden was too bad to be true.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (300/1 -20%) Attanagh	300 300/1(-20%)	(1) Attanagh 300/1 Tailed off and pulled up in his first two maidens and was huge odds on both occasions.

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

A quality contest, with plenty of winners likely to emerge from this in the coming weeks and months. Gordon Elliott, Willie Mullins and Henry de Bromhead are all doubly represented, with Elliott's JALON D'OUDAIRIES the selection. Out of action for over 20 months after finishing third in the Champion Bumper of 2024, he was second on his return at Cork last month. Likely to step forward from that initial experience over flights, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. An excellent fourth when last seen in the Turners Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, Forty Coats is an obvious danger, while the Denis Hogan-trained Frankie John, point-to-point winner Irish Champ and the Paul Townend-ridden Dani Donadoni are other leading contenders.

If FORTY COATS approaches the form he produced when fourth in the 2m5f Grade 1 at Cheltenham in March then he'll take the beating.

4	3 4th (3) (12/1 -167%) Super Citizen	12 12/1(-167%)	(3) Super Citizen 12/1 Won in refitted cheekpieces last month but this veteran has become hard to predict.

GOLDEN POINT's jumping improved a bundle when landing the spoils over an extended 2m7f here last month and there should be more to come. A 5lb higher mark looks manageable for the six-year-old, with this step up in distance forecast to suit. Super Citizen arrives on the back of a triumph at Carlisle and isn't taken lightly given his liking for this course, while Great Notions cannot be dismissed easing in class.

Still unexposed over fences, GOLDEN POINT does not look harshly treated by a 5lb rise for her course win six weeks ago.

Although unable to justify favouritism when third on her hurdles bow at Warwick earlier this month, that experience should stand MADE U BLUSH in good stead. This looks a suitable opportunity for the Dan Skelton-trained filly to open her account and she gets the nod over Laysoft. The daughter of Churchill may have gone too fast on timber debut over C&D and isn't taken lightly. Hurdling newcomers Fitzroy Gardens and Penn Avenue are others to note.

Made U Blush has leading claims but was beaten at 1-2 last time and a chance is taken on RITAAN now down in grade.

ONEFORTHEDITCH won twice on better ground last year but has no problem handling a more testing surface and may be rewarded for her consistency. She has been placed on her last four starts, including twice over fences, and bumped into a well-treated rival over 2m here last time. Stepping back up in trip will suit her and new rider Calum Hogan takes off a valuable 7lb. Ballinaboola Jet won over this trip at Clonmel and reverts to hurdles after finishing a fair fourth in a chase at Naas. Kilbrin Rocco finished strongly when second over fences here on Friday, while Hakensack ran his best race so far when third at Cork but that form has taken a few knocks since.

A tentative vote goes to CHEMDAWG who looked ready for a step back up to this sort of trip at Clonmel last time

Despite there being some exciting prospects in this field, it is very hard to oppose ACT OF INNOCENCE. Nicky Henderson's gelding created a big impression when scoring over C&D on his hurdling debut in November and he can take this race on his way to bigger targets. Minella Yoga was bought for 360,000 pounds after his Fairyhouse win and has to be noted as a result. Blues Singer edges out Razors Edge to be best of the rest.

The form pick is ACT OF INNOCENCE. Minella Yoga and Razors Edge are interesting once-raced contenders.

Smart Flat performer TASHKHAN made a winning hurdles bow at Hexham earlier this month and this sharper track looks a positive move. Brian Ellison's gelding is open to improvement and is slightly more appealing than Imperfectlyperfect. The five-year-old found a Grade 2 at Cheltenham a step too far, but he should prove far more competitive in these calmer waters. Country Code and Burncourt Boy are others of interest.

Preference is for COUNTRY CODE, who delivered on the promise shown in Irish points when scoring on his hurdling debut.

TIDDESLEY WOOD built on his promising hurdles bow at Aintree when opening his account at Windsor last month. The five-year-old looks capable of better and he edges the vote in a tricky contest. Doctor Blue shares the same official rating as the selection and, despite giving weight to all of his rivals, must enter the reckoning. Huntingdon winner Draco Malfoy adds further spice to the mix.

JOREBEL has won five of his last six starts and even a 10lb rise for his 17-length success at Plumpton last time may still underestimate Chris Gordon's six-year-old.

Some of these have a bit to prove but not JOREBEL (nap) who continues to go from strength to strength. He can defy a 10lb rise.

Racing in Ireland for the first time in over two years, this should be straightforward for WODHOOH. The Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old went from strength to strength last season and boasts an impressive record of eight wins from nine starts over flights. Successful in Grade 2 company on her return at Ascot last month, she is by far the highest rated runner in the line-up. Easily dismissing some quality rivals when last seen in a Listed heat at Punchestown, Feet Of A Dancer is the danger. A model of consistency, she should give a good account of herself with Sean O'Keeffe aboard. Second in the Ryanair Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham in March, Sixandahalf also warrants respect.

Beaten only once over hurdles, WODHOOH has consolidated her reputation on a series of visits to Britain. She stands out in this company

THEY WANT ME chased home the recent Grade 1 winner Idaho Sun on his hurdling debut at Bangor in November and it would be no surprise to see him go one better in this company. That said, They're Chancers won his only bumper start and has to be noted on his first outing over timber, while Party In The Park and Lance Les Des are next best.

Bumper winner They're Chancers is respected but THEY WANT ME ran well in the face of a stiff task at Bangor and gets the nod.

Wears a visor for the first time; effective up to 3m on soft or good; below last winning mark but needs to bounce back. Return to form needed but the forecast better ground can help and he's well treated.

Effective at 3m and beyond, best with cut; no longer the force of old but well treated on past form. On a reduced mark but this 11yo has a regressive profile & is winless since February 2022.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (5/4 -14%) Fierce Warrior	1.25 5/4(-14%)	(3) Fierce Warrior 5/4, Jumped boldly and idled slightly when improving up in trip to win a handicap by 3/4l off a 6lb lower mark here last time. Trainer in form; effective from 2m4f to 3m2f on soft or good; progressive with more to come over fences at staying trips. Won here last month on second chase start and that form has been franked by the runner-up.

Staying seems to be the forte of FIERCE WARRIOR, who was a game winner over 3m2f here last month. That was just his second start over fences and the son of Sholokhov should be capable adapting to a 6lb higher mark. The veterans Fortescue and Ladronne are much more experienced in this discipline and can exploit any weakness shown by the selection.

Some Scope is well handicapped but FIERCE WARRIOR (nap) is a 6yo on the up and he can make it two course wins in a row.

Generally consistent and should be capable of winning a maiden, though proving somewhat frustrating. Ran well here last year; should improve from Thurles comeback and edging down to nice mark.

Effective over 2¼m, acts on yielding and heavy ground, and looks progressive under suitable conditions. Easily won a weak maiden on the inner track here last month; open to lots of improvement.

Appears to be running into form after a layoff, with his latest effort well franked by subsequent results. Good second to 114-rated rival in Fairyhouse maiden (2m, soft to heavy) two runs back.
5th	7 5th (7) (25/1 +38%) Ask The Bookie	25 25/1(+38%)	(7) Ask The Bookie 25/1, Outpaced before rallying to run to form when beaten 4l in a novice hurdle at Thurles last time, appreciating the return to a longer trip. Effective over 2–2½m and handles yielding and good ground; needs to build on that revival but remains unreliable. Well-held third in this last year; beaten 4l last time at Thurles but flattered by that.

Effective over 2m and acts on any ground; showed promise in maidens but needs to bounce back though does at least return to scene of best effort. Okay run in strong Gowran maiden two starts back; didn't seem to appreciate 2m4f last time.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 +34%) Run For The Border	33 33/1(+34%)	(8) Run For The Border 33/1, From a yard that won this race last year; didn't handle the ground when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective over 2m3f and acts on good ground, but conditions again pose a concern and her mark demands more. Won modest C&D maiden in October; struggled in heavy-ground handicap last time; opposable.
8th	5 8th (5) (9/2 +63%) Oaks Soldier	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(5) Oaks Soldier 9/2, Ran to form when comfortably held in a maiden hurdle at Cork last time; effective over 2m4f and handles soft and good ground. Consistent in a short career but likely needs to find a little more to win. No shame in being beaten 25l by Sortudo over 2m at Cork; interesting contender.

WEST OF BALLY was an easy winner over a similar trip here last month and this looks like a nice opportunity to follow up. The Eric McNamara-trained gelding doesn't look harshly treated now off a mark of 114. Minella Diamond has some solid form in strong maiden hurdles and he could be the danger. Oaks Soldier is unexposed and he looks one to note on his handicap debut.

The locally-trained WEST OF BALLY had little to beat in a maiden on the inner track here, but he bolted up and might go in again

The trainer is in form. Effective between 2 1/2m and 3m but looks on a stiff mark. Won at Newbury in spring; best effort since when fourth back here last time; solid.

Top jockey back on board. Effective at 3m and acts on good to soft or good ground. Recent form has dipped but on unsuitable ground and he's back below his last winning mark. Somewhat resurgent in first-time blinkers at Sandown most recently; could go well.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/4 +50%) Rivers Corner	2.25 9/4(+50%)	(8) Rivers Corner 9/4, Ran to form but flattened out late when third, beaten 10l, up in trip in a Sandown handicap chase last time. Effective between 2 1/2m and 3 1/2m and a consistent performer who looks big player down in trip. Good course form in March; latest effort took chase record to 31233; respected.

Suited by marathon trips and may benefit from a slight step back up in distance. Has regained some consistency for new yard; step back up to 3m2f looks ideal.

ONLY THE BOLD was beaten by only half a length in a thrilling three-way finish in a veterans' event at Sandown most recently. The 10-year-old is still of relatively low mileage over fences and, from the same mark, there is good reason to expect another bold showing. The consistent Rivers Corner has younger legs and could be a big danger to the selection, while King's Threshold is a previous course winner that can also play a strong role.

With further progress still possible, RIVERS CORNER is taken to reverse March placings with King's Threshold.

Blinkers now fitted; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and handles any ground; well handicapped if building on that latest run.

Effective around 2 1/2m, acts on good ground and suited by front-running tactics; fair mark on chase form but can be inconsistent. Put in a good display over hurdles at Cork, poor strike rate over fences (1-22) a negative.

Effective from 2m to 3m and prefers decent ground; was progressing over hurdles and fences before that run. A long way below his best on heavy last time, could bounce back to form on this ground.

Effective from 2 1/2m to 3m; could be suited by a drop in class and latest Porterstown run is worth marking up. Won over 2m at Navan from his much lower hurdles mark last month, trip-versatile.

Two wins from five starts over hurdles, has failed to reach the same standard over fences.

Paul Gilligan claimed this very contest 12 months ago and saddles an interesting contender in the shape of ZEEBAND. While disappointing since switching to fences, the four-time winning hurdler now starts off in handicap company and could prove nicely treated off a mark of 123. The Gordon Elliott-trained Kish Bank is another handicap debutant in the line-up and while a beaten favourite on his last two starts, he warrants the utmost respect with Carl Millar aboard. Fairyhouse winner Vaureal, Henry de Bromhead's Mystical Goddess and the first-time blinkered Well Del are others for the shortlist in this competitive heat.

On the evidence of a Fairyhouse second, it looks as if Declan Queally has brought about a revival in form for WELL DEL

LTO Selection:

A point winner in May, CAVALIER DU LUY was only beaten a neck into second on his Rules bow at Ayr in November. With the benefit of that experience, the son of Vadamos could be hard to beat here. Any market support for Malayalam, who cost 75,000 pounds earlier in the year, would have to be noted. Count Adhemar and William Yeats complete the shortlist.

Irish point winner CAVALIER DU LUY was only reeled in close home after making a bold bid from the front on last month's rules debut.

Willie Mullins appears to hold all the aces, with the upwardly mobile SPINDLEBERRY preferred over her stable companion Fun Fun Fun. The latter is a multiple pattern-race winner that is surely better than she managed when returning from a break at Punchestown last month. However, Spindleberry is undefeated over fences so far and would be hard to beat if replicating anything like the performance she posted when landing a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse as a novice in April. Paggane, who chases a Listed-race three-timer, is the obvious pick of the rest.

A cracking little race. SPINDLEBERRY has a Grade 1 chase win to her name and can maintain her unbeaten record over fences.

That form has been franked at Graded level, suggesting improvement over a longer trip is possible. Third at Cork on Rules' debut was a remote one, needs more to feature here.
5th	9 5th (9) (3/1 +0%) Two Pair	3 3/1(+0%)	(9) Two Pair 3/1, Ran slightly below form on testing ground when beaten 5 1/4l in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last time; effective between 2m and 2 1/2m. Debut form has been franked but needs a bit more to open her account. Promise in bumpers and both maiden hurdles, this test should suit, major player.
6th	8 6th (8) (80/1 -60%) Strange Currency	80 80/1(-60%)	(8) Strange Currency 80/1, Produced a modest effort when well beaten in a maiden at Moig South on sole start; faces a stiff task now tackling rules. No impact in three points, can only be watched on Rules' debut.
7th	3 7th (3) (125/1 -150%) No Hard Feelings	125 125/1(-150%)	(3) No Hard Feelings 125/1, Outpaced and modest on debut when well beaten in a bumper at Taunton last time; longer trip should suit but has plenty to find. Modest form in points, soundly beaten in Taunton bumper latest, best watched.

Still progressing and could stay a bit further. Point winner, solid second at Clonmel latest, in the mix if he stays this longer trip.

RAISE YOU UP stayed on nicely when second at Naas on his hurdling debut and looks capable of scoring now. Two Pair is another that has to be on the shortlist after a couple of solid efforts over timber, while the recent Clonmel second Loyal Praetorian is another with strong form claims. Happy Me and De Jour En Jour complete the shortlist.

Narrow preference is for RAISE YOU UP who shaped with plenty of promise on his hurdling debut at Naas

Effective from 2m to 2¼m and acts on good to soft ground. May do better over slightly further. Placed in handicaps at Newbury and Haydock this term, latest upped to 2m3f; solid.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/1 -13%) I'm A Lumberjack	9 9/1(-13%)	(9) I'm A Lumberjack 9/1, Made mistakes and tired late when stepping up in trip, finishing 8l behind in a handicap hurdle here last time. Hood on for the first time. Effective at 2½m and acts on good to soft ground. Generally progressive and may build on that reappearance. May well settle better and show progress in first-time hood back down in trip.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +55%) Peacenik	5 5/1(+55%)	(4) Peacenik 5/1, Ran to form when stepped up in trip, making all to win a Doncaster handicap by 5½l off a 5lb lower mark. Effective from 2m to 2m4f and acts on heavy and good ground. Still has potential from this mark and arrives in form. Made all for ready win at Doncaster last time and looks open to further improvement.
4	6 4th (6) (11/1 +31%) Don Virginia	11 11/1(+31%)	(6) Don Virginia 11/1, Won a Fixed Brush Hurdle Series Final by 17l off an 18lb lower mark at Worcester on his penultimate start. Ran to form when comfortably held in a novice hurdle last time. Effective at 2½m and prefers a sound surface. Progressive over the summer and returns from a short break. Both wins over brush hurdles; something to prove off current mark in this field.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 +40%) Castelfort	12 12/1(+40%)	(10) Castelfort 12/1, Bled and was well beaten in a handicap chase at Chepstow last time. Didn't take to that discipline but consistent in this sphere at 2-2 1/2m on easy ground. Must bounce back. Couple of poor chase efforts this season leave a doubt over his current form.
6th	11 6th (11) (10/3 +63%) Doctors Hill	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(11) Doctors Hill 10/3, Improved on handicap debut when beaten 2½l off a 1lb lower mark at Wincanton, though outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground. Likely to improve again now stepping up in trip. Novice hurdler who ran well at Wincanton most recently; open to further progress.
7th	13 7th (13) (28/1 -100%) Torrent	28 28/1(-100%)	(13) Torrent 28/1, Ran to form in first-time visor when third, beaten 6l in a Sandown handicap hurdle last time. Effective at 2m and may not stay further. Acts on any ground and generally consistent but holds no secrets from the handicapper. Quite an exposed 4yo and on a ten-race losing sequence; stamina to prove.
8th	1 8th (1) (7/1 +36%) Jurancon	7 7/1(+36%)	(1) Jurancon 7/1, Well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time but had been in good form beforehand. This is his second run after wind surgery. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and good to soft ground. Should improve but has stamina to prove; fair mark on spring form and likes the track. Has a good overall strike-rate and is 2-2 over hurdles at Newbury; interesting back here.
9th	12 9th (12) (33/1 +0%) Thankyourluckystar	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Thankyourluckystar 33/1, Pulled up in a Warwick handicap hurdle last time. Effective between 2½m and 3m and acts on good ground. Current mark probably high enough. Remains on career-high mark and goes up in grade; difficult task.
10th	2 10th (2) (16/1 +20%) Diamond Ri	16 16/1(+20%)	(2) Diamond Ri 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle here last time. Effective at 2½m and acts on soft and good ground. Consistent sort but needs to prove ability remains after an absence. May last longer back down in trip with 3m reappearance under his belt.
11th	15 11th (15) (66/1 -100%) Get The Value	66 66/1(-100%)	(15) Get The Value 66/1, Outpaced and unsuited by a change of tactics when unable to lead, finishing fourth beaten 38l in a Newton Abbot handicap hurdle last time. Effective around 2m and prefers a sound surface. Progressive through the summer before that run. Form dipped sharply when last seen; this is a stiffer assignment.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (16/1 +0%) Champagne Twist	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Champagne Twist 16/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Sandown last time. Effective at 2½m and suited by decent ground. Out of form when last seen but stable's runners often improve over fences. Generally hasn't lived up to expectations since winning the 2024 EBF Final.

Not many of these can confidently be ruled out and the likes of Scorpio Rising, Andashan and I'm A Lumberjack are all likely to be popular choices. However, a tentative vote goes the way of DOCTORS HILL, who won cosily in novice company at Chepstow on his penultimate start. Subsequently a respectable third on his handicap debut at Wincanton, the former point-to-pointer simply ran out of time in that race. Stepping him back up in trip could be the making of him here.

Preference is for ANDASHAN, who appears to be on his way to winning a race of this nature. Doctors Hill is second pick.

Effective between 2m and 2 1/2m on any ground. Top-class performer whose form has been franked and remains a worthy Champion Hurdle favourite. Only a few lapses in a glittering career, can get the better of a duel with the other mare.
2	7 2nd (7) (5/2 +44%) Brighterdaysahead	2.5 5/2(+44%)	(7) Brighterdaysahead 5/2, A triple Grade 1 winner who took this race last year. Finished a 9l third in the Mares Champion Hurdle (Grade 1) at Punchestown last time when weak in the market. Top jockey returns to ride and she holds a chance if bringing her best on reappearance but bit to prove after below par spring runs. Impressed with a stunning win here 12 months ago, failed to spark at the two big festivals.

Likes to make the running and is suited by 2m, though stays 2 1/2m. Yard won this last year and he continues to progress so not ruled out. Running a big race up to the point of his fall at the last in the 2m4f Hatton's Grace.

Yard has won four of the last five runnings and he looks classy enough to reverse that sole defeat but vulnerable against better rivals here. Lost his unbeaten record in the incident-packed Fighting Fifth, understudy to Lossiemouth.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 +44%) Hello Neighbour	28 28/1(+44%)	(4) Hello Neighbour 28/1, Outclassed when stepping up in grade on flat return, finishing down the field in the Lenebane Stakes (Listed) at Roscommon. May ideally prefer easier ground and vulnerable in this class. Won C&D Grade 1 juvenile hurdle in February, absent since a disappointing Flat run in July.
6th	5 6th (5) (28/1 -75%) Irancy	28 28/1(-75%)	(5) Irancy 28/1, Paid the price for trying to go with the winner and needed the run when fourth, beaten 35l, in the Morgiana Hurdle (Grade 1) at Punchestown last time. Grade 1 winner as a novice. Effective at 2m and on soft or good ground. Yard has won four of the last five renewals but holds stronger claims. Grade 2 winner, needs to find form again after poor run behind Lossiemouth in the Morgiana.
7th	6 7th (6) (80/1 +20%) Winter Fog	80 80/1(+20%)	(6) Winter Fog 80/1, Found little and was comfortably held in the Ascot Hurdle (Grade 2) at Ascot last time. Effective from 2m to 3m, best in small fields when ridden to pick up the pieces. Yard has won four of the last five editions of this race. Veteran has been well below his best over longer trips in Britain on his last two starts.
8th	3 8th (3) (300/1 -20%) Futurum Regem	300 300/1(-20%)	(3) Futurum Regem 300/1, Outpaced and never threatened when finishing down the field in a handicap at Dundalk most recently. Faces a very tough task at this level. Four years since he won two handicap hurdles at Navan, making up the numbers here.

Still only six rising seven, the top-class LOSSIEMOUTH can record her ninth Grade 1 victory and her fourth this year. She won the Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham for the second time in March and followed up in the Aintree Hurdle. After a summer break, she faced a simple task in the Morgiana Hurdle at Punchestown last month and duly made all to easily beat three rivals. Anzadam finished second in a dramatic Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle and it will be interesting to see how he fares with that run under his belt. Brighterdaysahead, rerouted from a planned novice chase campaign, was a stunning winner of this race last year but disappointed on two subsequent starts.

Last year's winner Brighterdaysahead faces a big task against prolific winner LOSSIEMOUTH, who has a run under her belt

Effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on soft and good; was progressive before that and should return to form. Career-best form when winning at Ayr last month; pulled up (lost action) since.

Better form over hurdles and needs to recapture sparkle to figure. Out of form on Flat/over fences this autumn; back hurdling with questions to answer.

LTO Selection:

LOWLANDS is on the upgrade and is an attractive proposition after filling the runner-up slot the last twice. Both those efforts suggested she can progress in handicaps and, from a workable rating, this could be a good time to catch the Nicky Richards-trained mare. Speiriuil hinted at a revival with cheekpieces added at Musselburgh last time and can have a big say if the headgear continues to draw improvement. She's Notjoeking and Magnolia are other strong contenders.

Low-mileage 6yo LOWLANDS (nap) made a promising handicap debut one month ago and can go one better.

Rockola Vogue continued her upward trajectory when completing a double at Ascot last month and it would be folly to dismiss her. However, a 6lb higher mark does demand more and J J MOON is slightly more compelling. Emma Lavelle's charge arrives on the back of a good third in a valuable class 3 event at Newbury and a 2lb rise may prove workable. Bugise Seagull is also of interest reverting to timber.

The thriving mare Rockola Vogue could play another leading role but preference is for another progressive 6yo in J J MOON.

WE BE GRAND was beaten at a short price in a similar contest here in October but may be worth another shot. Lincall ran well for a long way at Naas a fortnight ago and looks like a leading player. Tiger Twins ran a nice race in a hot enough maiden hurdle at Down Royal early last month and is another for the shortlist.

After a promising effort on hurdling debut in a stronger maiden at Navan, GENEPI GEORGE can show the benefit of that experience

The sole 4yo and only unbeaten contender in this field; brings potential.
5th	2 5th (2) (25/1 -79%) Etna Bianco	25 25/1(-79%)	(2) Etna Bianco 25/1, Travelled well and did it readily when winning a novice hurdle at Ascot by 2l last time, improving up in trip. A 3m point winner, effective around 2 1/2m under rules, and continues to progress as a staying type. Not ruled out stepping up in class. Justified favouritism at Ascot last time and looks open to further progress.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/2 +63%) Kalkbrenner	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(4) Kalkbrenner 9/2, Travelled well and showed determination when second, beaten a head, in a novice hurdle here last time, doing best of those racing close to the pace. Effective at around 2 1/2m and acts with cut. Debut form franked emphatically and likely to progress further. Nearly defied a penalty in C&D event when having a rematch with Klimt Madrik; good claims.

The progressive NO DRAMA THIS END is hard to oppose after impressive displays in winning Grade 2 hurdles the last twice. Paul Nicholls, who has an excellent record in this race, seems to have another rising star on his hands and nominated this as a logical target straight after the gelding's exciting display when winning at Sandown earlier in the month. Starzand and Kalkbrenner are others on the upgrade, while the unbeaten Montemares faces more of an acid test after a couple of bloodless wins in lesser company.

Several runners have interesting claims but it will take a very smart performance to lower the colours of NO DRAMA THIS END.

Cheekpieces on first time; effective up to 2m6f on yielding ground; needs more now switched to handicaps. Ran well over 2m4f here last season, 2m6f maiden winner last time, cheekpieces added now.

Off a short break; effective 2-2 1/2m, suited by decent ground; progressive. Won twice in the first half of the year, faced a tough task in a conditions race last time.
3	16 3rd (16) (8/1 +76%) Saint Le Fort	8 8/1(+76%)	(16) Saint Le Fort 8/1, Outpaced but ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time. Effective around 2 1/2m and may stay further; generally consistent. Needs to step up considerably on the form he has shown in four handicap outings since May.
4	6 4th (6) (17/2 -70%) Bunting	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(6) Bunting 17/2, Short of room on a couple of occasions and ran to form up in trip when beaten 3 1/2l off a 39lb lower mark at Newmarket last time. Off a short break; inconsistent but fair mark on best form in both codes; holds a chance. Fit from Flat campaign that ended with Cesarewitch third, lends weight to yard's challenge.
5th	10 5th (10) (10/1 +38%) Wendrock	10 10/1(+38%)	(10) Wendrock 10/1, Outpaced and never threatened when fourth beaten 19l in the Jack McInerney Memorial Hurdle (Grade 3) at Fairyhouse latest.

Effective from 2 1/4m to 3m and acts on any ground; well treated on Graded form but below his best of late. High-class performer in his prime, vulnerable now, rider's 7lb claim is the main positive.
7th	9 7th (9) (13/2 +46%) Sa Fureur	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(9) Sa Fureur 13/2, Ran to form, just tiring late back from a break when fourth beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Navan latest. Top jockey back on board; effective around 2 1/2m on any ground; inconsistent but well treated on chase form. Flopped when favourite for this race last season, made a promising return at Navan.
8th	5 8th (5) (25/1 -150%) Last Kingdom	25 25/1(-150%)	(5) Last Kingdom 25/1, Forced to wait for a gap, then flattened out when in the clear but showed further improvement when fourth beaten 9 1/2l in a Listed Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse latest. Effective at 2m on any ground; progressive. Raised 8lb for winning at Listowel; fourth to Zillow at Fairyhouse off this mark, new trip.

Blinkers on for the first time; effective at 3m on soft and good ground; just below top level. Smart hurdler at his best, often highly tried, hard to fancy with big burden, blinkered.
10th	13 10th (13) (28/1 -40%) Teed Up	28 28/1(-40%)	(13) Teed Up 28/1, Below form back down in trip when well beaten in a Listed Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse latest. Trainer in form; effective 2-2 3/4m; inconsistent dual-purpose performer should at least appreciate this step up in trip. Galway specialist, four of his five Flat wins and both hurdle wins at that venue.
11th	12 11th (12) (6/1 +14%) Blue Mosque	6 6/1(+14%)	(12) Blue Mosque 6/1, Not clear run, travelled well and was out-battled late when second beaten 3 1/2l in the Louis Fitzgerald Hotel Hurdle at Punchestown latest. Best around 2 1/2m on any ground; consistent though a touch frustrating as a novice. Absent since second in a conditions race at Punchestown in April, generally reliable.
12th	8 12th (8) (22/1 -57%) Thecompanysergeant	22 22/1(-57%)	(8) Thecompanysergeant 22/1, Yard took this race last year. Pulled up in the Paddy Power Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Cheltenham latest; generally consistent if a touch frustrating; stiff task. Ran well over hurdles at the Punchestown festival, not at his best over fences since then.
13th	3 13th (3) (6/1 +25%) Air Of Entitlement	6 6/1(+25%)	(3) Air Of Entitlement 6/1, Ran to form, just tiring late behind a race-fit rival when second beaten 5l in the Conditions Hurdle at Fairyhouse latest. Off a short break; effective from 2m to 2 1/2m on any ground and should come on for that run to reverse form with conqueror. Mark looks generous based on spring Cheltenham win. Winner of Mares' Novice at Cheltenham, may reverse seasonal debut form with Far Eadrainn.
14th	11 14th (11) (20/1 -67%) Fad Eadrainn	20 20/1(-67%)	(11) Fad Eadrainn 20/1, Did it cosily and improved back down in trip for an in-form yard when winning the Conditions Hurdle at Fairyhouse by 5l last time. Off a short break; effective 2-2 1/2m on any ground; form franked and progressing. Getting a stone when upstaging Air Of Entitlement at Fairyhouse, not sure to uphold form.
15th	7 15th (7) (13/2 -63%) Zillow	6.5 13/2(-63%)	(7) Zillow 13/2, Travelled strongly and did it readily, aided by a late faller, when winning a Listed Handicap Hurdle by 4 1/4l off a 9lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time. Effective at 2m with some cut; more to come judged on useful French flat form. Has won both races this season, form franked on Saturday, may improve again up in trip.

Grade 2 juvenile winner last season, first run since Royal Ascot, stable has a strong hand.

ZILLOW has won his last two starts over hurdles, as well as a 1m4f win on the Polytrack at Dundalk, and can continue his progression. He had Last Kingdom back in fourth when scoring over 2m at Fairyhouse and the runner-up in that race won here on Saturday. Decent ground will help his chances of staying as he steps up to 2m4f for the first time in handicap company. There are no stamina doubts about another Mullins contender, Bunting, who was third in the Cesarewitch and ran creditably in the Scottish Champion Hurdle in the spring. Blue Mosque had some strong novice form last season and has to be of interest.

Given the excellent form of the Elliott stable, it could pay to take a chance with SA FUREUR who flopped when favourite here last year

Won off a career-low mark (4lb lower) here recently and unexposed over this far.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/2 +31%) Percy Willis	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(6) Percy Willis 9/2, Ran to form when back up in trip, beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Southwell last time; effective from 10-12f with nearly all form on the all-weather; fair and reasonable effort.

8th	2 8th (2) (4/1 -78%) Prince Quattro	4 4/1(-78%)	(2) Prince Quattro 4/1, Produced a good effort when back up in trip, beaten a nose off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective up to 12-16f and acts on the all-weather; in good form. Multiple hurdle winner who has yet to win on the Flat but he's gone very close.
9th	7 9th (7) (9/2 +55%) Blue Sky Boy	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(7) Blue Sky Boy 9/2, Had a very poor trip late and would have finished 2-3l closer, beaten 10l in a handicap here last time; effective up to 14f and acts on the all-weather; step back up to 12f should help. Nine-race maiden; didn't get the best of runs here on recent stable debut.

ROYAL BLAZE was only narrowly denied when second over C&D three weeks ago and the four-year-old could go one better on this occasion, despite a 2lb rise. The recent course winner Golspie is an obvious threat to the selection but does step up in trip, while the consistent Prince Quattro edges out Percy Willis to be best of the rest.

This could be the day that multiple hurdle winner PRINCE QUATTRO finally clicks on the Flat as he's been threatening of late.

Ran quite well on seasonal debut; bad jumping error effectively ended her chance last time.

LTO Selection:

Having won three of his last four starts, BARATABLET is the obvious starting point. The son of Wings Of Eagles returned from a break to notch a comfortable success at Newcastle 18 days ago and, assuming this doesn't come around too quickly, a 7lb higher mark doesn't look insurmountable. Magic Wave is a previous course winner that needs to be taken seriously on his reappearance, while Esprit Du Potier also commands respect.

Progressive 5yo BARATABLET was nicely in command in the closing stages at Newcastle this month and can strike again.

PARK TALK shaped well on his latest fifth in a maiden hurdle at Newbury and an opening mark of 111 could underestimate his true ability. Harry Derham's charge had previously filled the runner-up spot at Stratford and he ticks plenty of the right boxes. Paddys Policy failed to build on a promising reappearance at Wetherby when finishing down the field at Aintree last month, but a subsequent wind procedure could see him back on the premises. Aeroplane Blonde is a feasible alternative.

The lightly raced 5yo AEROPLANE BLONDE was fourth in a stronger race than this on his handicap debut at Cheltenham and he earns the vote

LTO Selection:

MIGHT BE THE ONE ran well at Tramore last time and may appreciate the slight drop in trip here. As a result, she gets the vote in an open event. The Goose's Acre is another that has to come into calculations after a couple of encouraging efforts in defeat. Donnrua Dream edges out Le Fanu to be best of the rest.

I FEEL FINE was still in with a chance when unseating two out over 2m here last time and this longer trip should suit

1	7 1st (7) (13/2 +19%) Calimystic	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(7) Calimystic 13/2, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Ayr last time; trainer in form; returning from a long layoff; fairly treated on best hurdle form; stable first string on jockey bookings but may just need this on chase debut. Low-mileage 6yo who remains open to progress; interesting chase debutant.
2	8 2nd (8) (9/4 +72%) Captain Bellamy	2.25 9/4(+72%)	(8) Captain Bellamy 9/4, Needed the run on chase debut when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time; that effort has worked out very well; had been in good form previously; well treated on hurdles form here; effective at 2 1/2m and likely to appreciate this step up in trip over fences. May do better back up in distance with 2m reappearance under his belt.
3	5 3rd (5) (28/1 -250%) Pounding Poet	28 28/1(-250%)	(5) Pounding Poet 28/1, Travelled well and ran to form when beaten 5l in a handicap hurdle at Aintree last time; had been in good form prior and returns from a short break; looks a leading player on race times. Has something to prove on belated return to fences.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 -80%) Holloway Queen	18 18/1(-80%)	(6) Holloway Queen 18/1, Unseated rider in a handicap chase at Hereford last time; trainer in form; effective at around 2 1/2m and handles ground with cut; on a good mark based on novice hurdle form and was going well when departing last time. Unseated rider last week on chase debut; still has potential in this sphere.
5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 -150%) Harsh	40 40/1(-150%)	(2) Harsh 40/1, Never competitive after a series of errors when finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Galway most recently; wears blinkers for the first time; effective around 2 1/2m; jumping has been an issue over fences when trained in Ireland. Change of headgear needs to prompt progress on debut for new stable.
4	4 \|F\| (4) (9/1 -50%) Rightsotom	9 9/1(-50%)	(4) Rightsotom 9/1, Ran to form when taken on up front and did plenty early, finishing fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap chase at Doncaster last time; effective at around 2 1/2m and could improve when stepped up to staying trips. Could go well in the retained cheekpieces, provided he stays the new trip.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (4/1 -14%) Guard The Moon	4 4/1(-14%)	(1) Guard The Moon 4/1, Travelled and jumped boldly bar the last, running to form when suited by a positive ride down in trip to land a handicap by 3l off a 7lb lower mark at Aintree last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and may have more to offer over fences. Won at Aintree on chase/seasonal debut and is open to further improvement.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (9/4 -20%) Newton Tornado	2.25 9/4(-20%)	(3) Newton Tornado 9/4, Improved when suited by a positive ride to land a handicap by 9l off an 8lb lower mark at Bangor-on-Dee last time; effective from 2m4f to 3m and acts on any ground; progressive and has more to come over fences. Scored comfortably at Bangor last time and likely has more to offer.

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

The two last-time-out winners, Newton Tornado and GUARD THE MOON are the most convincing options. The former was progressive over hurdles and seemed to have learned from a fall at Cheltenham to get off the mark over fences, despite jumping to the right at Bangor most recently. However, the latter made an impressive chasing debut at Aintree earlier in the month and will be a big player if building on that display. Rightsotom and Pounding Poet are the pick of the rest.

With further improvement plausible, GUARD THE MOON could well defy top weight. Newton Tornado is second choice.

1	4 1st (4) (10/3 +5%) Keep Him Company	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(4) Keep Him Company 10/3, Made a very promising debut, shaping like a strong stayer when winning a bumper at Fairyhouse by 3l. Effective at 2m and acts on soft ground; open to further improvement and a stiffer track should suit. Recruited for £220,000 and showed a willing attitude to collect by 3l at Fairyhouse.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 -60%) Passenger	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) Passenger 16/1, Flattened out late on testing ground at a stiff track when back from a break, finishing 15l third in the Future Champions Flat Race (Listed) at Navan. Effective between 2m and 2 1/2m and acts on soft and good ground; progressing with form franked. Impressed on good ground at Cork and ground was testing when beaten next time.
3	8 3rd (8) (16/1 -14%) Royal Hillsborough	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Royal Hillsborough 16/1, Returned to form after a break on easier ground when second, beaten 6 1/2l, in the Listed Mares Flat Race at Navan. Effective at 2m and handles ground with cut; in form and her latest run has been boosted. No match for the winner at Navan but that horse has since floored Bambino Fever.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 -260%) Mossy Way	18 18/1(-260%)	(5) Mossy Way 18/1, Went clear easily and improved when dropped in class to win a Ladies bumper at Limerick by 27l. Effective at 2m; in fair form but will need to find a bit more now stepping up in class. Appeared to take a huge step forward when making all for a 27l success at Limerick (heavy).
5th	2 5th (2) (11/4 +21%) Gomez Addams	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(2) Gomez Addams 11/4, Travelled strongly and made a very promising debut when a 6 1/2l winner in a 4yo bumper at Galway. Effective at 2m and acts on good ground; debut form has been franked at Listed level and he looks competitive up in class. 11-2 when impressing at Galway (good) and had a subsequent Listed winner back in third.
6th	1 6th (1) (13/8 +35%) Bud Fox	1.625 13/8(+35%)	(1) Bud Fox 13/8, Travelled well and flattened out late when returning from a break, finishing a 6 1/4l third in the Three Counties Christmas Open NH Flat Race (Listed) at Cheltenham. Effective at 2m and acts on good to yielding ground; looks a smart prospect. Relinquished his unbeaten record at Cheltenham on ground perhaps too soft.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 +21%) The First Turn	11 11/1(+21%)	(7) The First Turn 11/1, Overcame trouble to make a very promising debut when winning by 3/4l in an auction bumper at Thurles. Returning from a short break; effective at 2m and acts on good ground; debut form franked and worth this step up in grade. Justified favouritism with a narrow win at Thurles despite signs of inexperience.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 -80%) Jerry From Kerry	18 18/1(-80%)	(3) Jerry From Kerry 18/1, Ran to form but lacked the pace of the principals when fourth, beaten 7 1/4l, in the Future Champions Flat Race (Listed) at Navan. Trainer in form; returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m and acts on soft and good ground; consistent performer. Beaten in five of his six bumpers but has been competitive in all bar one; long absence.
9th	9 9th (9) (125/1 -25%) Tell Me See	125 125/1(-25%)	(9) Tell Me See 125/1, Kingston Hill gelding; full-brother to Backwithyourown, a smart performer over 16f. Second foal out of a 2m Listed hurdle winner but he's flying quite high here on debut.

Andy Slattery produced several smart bumper horses this year and amongst them was GOMEZ ADDAMS, who won impressively at the Galway Festival in July. The son of Hillstar has now joined Henry de Bromhead but Adam Ryan, attached to the Slattery yard and great value for his 5lb claim, retains the ride. The selection will be helped by drying ground and can put his speed to good use. Bud Fox won on spring ground at Punchestown and soft conditions may have counted against him when he was third at Cheltenham, but the winner of that Listed contest had been beaten over 7 lengths by Gomez Addams at Galway. Fairyhouse winner Keep Him Company may be vulnerable to speedier types.

A good race contested by seven previous winners. BUD FOX is taken to bounce back from his defeat on soft ground at Cheltenham.

2	4 2nd (4) (10/11 +55%) Starryfield	0.909091 10/11(+55%)	(4) Starryfield 10/11, Too free and green but a promising debut when runner-up beaten 2 1/4l in a maiden at Doncaster; effective at 6f and should improve and win races. Debut second at Doncaster in July was promising but the form hasn't worked out well at all.

Never dangerous in a 5f AW novice on debut 16 days ago; longer-term prospect.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 -33%) Viking Glory	3 3/1(-33%)	(5) Viking Glory 3/1, Well backed and improved up in trip when second beaten 1 1/2l in a novice here last time; suited by 7f and acts on all-weather; likely at the right level now. Promising debut and then unsuited by a slowly run 7f here last time; more to come.
6th	6 6th (6) (125/1 -89%) Battenburg Belle	125 125/1(-89%)	(6) Battenburg Belle 125/1, No chance after losing about 5l at the start and was beaten 9l in a maiden here on debut; sprint-bred but shaped as though 7f may suit; should improve markedly. 66-1 and never dangerous in a C&D maiden ten days ago (behind Quiet Serenade).
7th	11 7th (11) (50/1 -100%) What A Tahoo	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) What A Tahoo 50/1, Got behind early and showed little when well beaten in a maiden at Southwell on debut; top course trainer; sprint-bred but small and with plenty to prove.

8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -100%) Havin A Flyer	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Havin A Flyer 28/1, Did too much early but ran right up to her best when fourth beaten 4 1/2l in a novice at Wolverhampton; effective at 5f and tends to go too hard in front. Exposed 14-race maiden; fair run on Boxing Day but others have more pressing claims.
9th	9 9th (9) (50/1 -52%) Quiet Serenade	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Quiet Serenade 50/1, Made late headway after being squeezed out and would have been 2l closer when beaten 7l in a maiden here last time; speedily bred and acts on all-weather; moderate so far but has some scope. Down the field in two C&D runs this month but shaped with promise last time; check betting.
10th	7 10th (7) (18/1 +45%) Freezing Havana	18 18/1(+45%)	(7) Freezing Havana 18/1, 20 Feb; Havana Grey filly; dam unraced; likely to need the run. 10,000gns yearling; unraced dam a half-sister to three winners; betting to guide.

STARRYFIELD displayed plenty of promise when filling second place on his debut at Doncaster in July and James Owen's colt could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Viking Glory is another who brings strong form to the table and has to be noted as a result, while any market support for Extremely Zain would be interesting.

Extremely Zain is a newcomer of note but VIKING GLORY could put his experience to good use.

Returning from a break; all form at 7f but may prove better at 6f. Acts on a sound surface and looks potentially well treated. RPR of 68 in his three starts in the summer; gelded since; more is needed now handicapping.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 -20%) Popty Ping	4 4/1(-20%)	(4) Popty Ping 4/1, Returned to best in a visor when landing a handicap by a head off a 5lb lower mark at Southwell last time. Ridden by the top course jockey and effective from 6f to 8f. First-time headgear proved key in two of her last three starts. Form of latest Southwell win well advertised by the second; good chance despite 5lb rise.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/3 -78%) Henriette Ronner	3.333333 10/3(-78%)	(3) Henriette Ronner 10/3, Improved when fourth, beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden here last time after making the pace and tiring late. Trainer in form. All form at 7f but bred to want 8f or further; acts on the all-weather and looks on a workable mark. Best effort when fourth over C&D last month; may do better now handicapping.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -200%) Container Express	12 12/1(-200%)	(5) Container Express 12/1, Produced a game effort to land a handicap by a neck off a 3lb lower mark here last time. Usually held up and effective at 6f on the all-weather. Could have a little more to come with a clear passage. Won a weak 6f selling nursery here six weeks ago; needs more in this field.

Wears a tongue-tie for the first time and effective at 8f. Opening mark may have been a bit stiff. Last of six on nursery debut; drops in trip with a tongue-tie added.

Popty Ping and Container Express both merit plenty of respect following victories on their most recent outings. However, their new marks demand improvement from them and a chance can be taken with HENRIETTE RONNER. William Haggas' filly put in a career best in a maiden here last time and an opening mark of 62 should be workable on her nursery debut.

The form of POPTY PING's Southwell win has been franked and she can win from Henriette Ronner and Dagger Strike.

Effective over 7-8f and acts on a sound surface. Up 3lb and looks on a stiff mark but better than bare form suggests. 3-4 on the AW; did well to win at Southwell last time and might well go in again.

C&D winner in September and was poorly drawn when down the field at Doncaster latest.

Usually held up; effective from 6f to 8f and acts on any surface. Drop in trip shouldn't be an issue. Recent C&D winner off just 2lb lower; blew the start at Southwell on Sunday (6f).

TOWERLANDS secured a hat-trick when successful over a mile at Southwell 10 days ago and the in-form gelding could add another victory to his record here, despite a 4lb rise in the ratings. Bobby Joe Leg also won on his most recent outing, but Selection may be an even bigger threat as she may benefit from a drop in trip here.

The 3yo TOWERLANDS (nap) did well to win at Southwell and he's clearly improving. That was over 1m but a stiff 7f should be fine.

STIRRUP CUP returned to form when filling third place over C&D when last seen in November and it would be no surprise to see Tim Easterby's gelding play a leading role off a 1lb lower mark here. The consistent Monsieur Kodi has to be of interest as first-time cheekpieces may spark some progression, while Judgment Call and Maxi Boy complete the shortlist.

Judgment Call and Bright are of interest but ARNHEM is back down in grade and can defy top weight.

Effective at 7-8f and acts on AW. Form has tailed off lately. Had been in great form here but last two efforts were backward steps, especially latest.
11th	11 11th (11) (16/1 -220%) Merapi	16 16/1(-220%)	(11) Merapi 16/1, Ran about to form when beaten 2 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 6-7f and acts on AW. Mark is easing but needs to find more. Got behind before staying on well for fourth at Wolverhampton (7f) last time; chance.
12th	6 12th (6) (11/1 +31%) Renewable Dream	11 11/1(+31%)	(6) Renewable Dream 11/1, Below form when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Newmarket last time but had been in good form previously. Returns from a short break. Effective at 7-8f and acts on AW. Maiden but unexposed. A maiden but he showed promise on Tapeta as a 2yo and still has low mileage.

The consistent FRANCESI bolted up over C&D two starts ago and was only narrowly denied off this mark at Wolverhampton a week ago. On that evidence, the six-year-old is the safest pick in an open event. Powerful Response has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be in the mix once again, along with Second Fiddle.

He has a poor strike-rate overall but FRANCESI is bang in form, including with a win two starts back under today's pilot Myla Coppins.

1	4 1st (4) (5/2 +29%) Mapledurham	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(4) Mapledurham 5/2, Made a bit too much use of herself when tried in blinkers and beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Trainer in form. Effective at 7f to 8f and acts on the all-weather. Mark falling but below best form. 0-15 for R Millman but has shown winning potential; sold 50,000gns this month; shortlisted.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +0%) Instant Bond	3 3/1(+0%)	(5) Instant Bond 3/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time. Has a top course jockey on board. Probably effective at 5f to 7f and acts on the all-weather. Largely consistent and remains on a competitive mark. 0-11 but arrives in form and won't mind going back over 7f; one of the likelier ones.
3	7 3rd (7) (22/1 -267%) Elettaria	22 22/1(-267%)	(7) Elettaria 22/1, Ran about to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Redcar last time. Usually held up and drawn wide. Off a short break. Suited by 7f and the all-weather. May need the run after a short absence. Conditions ideal but best challenging late off a good pace and that is far from assured.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 +0%) Cloch Nua	9 9/1(+0%)	(2) Cloch Nua 9/1, Had no chance after a poor break and finished down the field in a Wolverhampton handicap last time. Usually held up and effective at 7f to 8f. Bit to prove after two disappointing runs. Big chance on this year's best; quiet in two runs back from a summer break; market useful.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 -13%) Law Degree	9 9/1(-13%)	(6) Law Degree 9/1, Rider dropped hands after a rival fell when finishing down the field in a handicap here last time. In good form prior. Suited by 7f and acts on the all-weather. Can bounce back at his preferred trip. On a losing run but conditions are fine and he lurks on a dangerous mark.
6th	8 6th (8) (15/2 +6%) Rory	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(8) Rory 15/2, Unwilling when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Suited by 6f to 7f and handles any surface. Has been irresolute of late. Slow starter who is on a losing run of 24; others look more convincing at present.
7th	9 7th (9) (80/1 -300%) Sogannie	80 80/1(-300%)	(9) Sogannie 80/1, Didn't stay when finishing down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recently. Effective at 7f and acts on the all-weather. Has shown very little since her debut. Poor form in two handicaps this winter; no appeal.
8th	3 8th (3) (6/1 +8%) Rooska	6 6/1(+8%)	(3) Rooska 6/1, Below form when a slow start didn't help, beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Off a short break. Effective at 7f to 8f and acts on the all-weather. Needs to bounce back. 0-13 but often runs well; each-way claims off his lowly mark.
9th	1 9th (1) (15/2 -7%) Cooperation	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(1) Cooperation 15/2, Poor effort when well beaten in a handicap here last time. Usually held up and drawn wide. Effective from 7f to 10f and handles any surface. Disappointing on his last two starts. On a good mark; failed to fire on last two starts but a revival is probably not far away.

INSTANT BOND has made the frame on his last couple of starts off this mark and this moderate contest appears to be an ideal opportunity for the four-year-old to secure his first victory. Mapledurham has been running well in defeat of late and could pose the biggest threat, although Rooska and Law Degree are others who could go very well.

Instant Bond can go well back at 7f but MAPLEDURHAM may be able to make a winning stable debut.

1	4 1st (4) (11/4 +31%) Wyvern	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(4) Wyvern 11/4, Won by a length off a 1lb lower mark here three starts ago and was close to form when fifth, beaten 3l off 56 last time. Trainer in form; effective at 7f and 8f on all-weather. Running well but needs a bit more off this mark. 1m win here last month; not quite so good twice since; others stronger for win purposes.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +0%) Little Ted	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Little Ted 9/2, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off this mark here last time from a wide draw. Effective at 8-10f, acts on all-weather, and remains competitively treated, though 7f may be a slight concern. Solid second here (1m) last month; in the mix with a repeat.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/2 -13%) Ana Emaraaty	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(5) Ana Emaraaty 9/2, Ran to form over what looked an inadequate trip when beaten 3/4l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Top course jockey booked. Effective 8-16f and acts on all-weather, though dropping in distance again seems a curious choice. Versatile trip-wise; 3rd over 1m here last time; place claims again if they don't dawdle.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 -9%) Cable Beach	6 6/1(-9%)	(7) Cable Beach 6/1, Won by a head off a 3lb lower mark at Southwell two starts back and ran to form when fourth, beaten 2 1/2l off 48 last time from a wide draw. Best at 7f, acts on all-weather, and in good form though the mark may now just anchor him. Southwell win last month was followed by a good run back there 11 days ago; contender.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +9%) Strobelight	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Strobelight 5/1, A bit below his best when beaten 4l off a 2lb higher mark at Southwell last time. Blinkers go on for the first time. Effective at 8-10f and acts on all-weather; likely to prefer a mile but the stiff track should help. 0-9 but he has threatened at a low level; change of headgear today; shortlisted.
6th	1 6th (1) (4/1 -33%) Bomb Squad	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Bomb Squad 4/1, Well backed and ran to the balance of form when beaten 3l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective at 6f and 7f, acts on all-weather, though the mark still looks on the stiff side. Banging at the door in recent months; major player.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -100%) Fidget Lady	50 50/1(-100%)	(8) Fidget Lady 50/1, Produced a poor effort when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. From a top course trainer but yet to show any reliable form. Unplaced all six starts but made late headway over 6f last time; 7f may suit.
8th	9 8th (9) (250/1 -279%) Bovey Belle	250 250/1(-279%)	(9) Bovey Belle 250/1, Showed no enthusiasm when finishing down the field in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. Returns from a short break but looks irresolute. Ten-race maiden; drops in trip with a lot to prove.
9th	3 9th (3) (200/1 -700%) Cordelin	200 200/1(-700%)	(3) Cordelin 200/1, Beaten 2f out as if something was amiss when well beaten in a novice here last time. Effective at 6f and acts on all-weather, but may have a breathing issue and looks a risky proposition. Tailed off on stable debut this month after a long absence; hard to fancy on h'cap debut.

LTO Selection:

Bomb Squad and Little Ted both arrive here with strong claims following placed efforts on their most recent outings. However, preference is for ANA EMARAATY, who was beaten by less than a length when third over a mile here two weeks ago and the five-year-old makes plenty of appeal off a 1lb lower mark on this occasion. Wyvern has an each-way shout.

Strobelight can go well in his new headgear but BOMB SQUAD has been threatening and this could be his day.

Bolted up over C&D in new cheekpieces 13 days ago; up 11lb but could kick on again.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/1 -100%) Mayo County	10 10/1(-100%)	(1) Mayo County 10/1, Not best trip but below form on reappearance when beaten 6l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective over 6/7f on a sound surface and may improve from that return run. C&D winner; on a good mark and she wasn't seen to best effect last time; dangerous.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/4 -10%) Yorkshire Glory	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(7) Yorkshire Glory 11/4, Ran to form up 3lb when landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark here last time; effective from 6-8f and acts on AW; in good form though his mark is becoming demanding, still a contender.

5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 +59%) Ardaddy	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(6) Ardaddy 13/2, Scored by 3/4l off a 2lb lower mark at Southwell in October; made too much use of when seventh beaten 7l off 58 last time; wide draw; effective at 6/7f on AW but a little out of form lately. 7f AW win in October; not so good since but he is capable off this mark.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/2 +15%) Spun To Gold	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(5) Spun To Gold 11/2, Scored by a nose off a 1lb lower mark here three starts back; below form when making plenty of use of and finishing ninth, beaten 4 1/4l off 60 last time; effective 6/7f and acts on AW; dangerous if returning to form. AW hat-trick this autumn but his form has dipped on his last two starts.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -150%) Sands Of Dubai	50 50/1(-150%)	(8) Sands Of Dubai 50/1, Poor effort off a break when down the field in a handicap here most recently; from a top course trainer; best at 7f and acts on AW; lost form before the break and has something to prove now. 7f win AW in September; beaten just two rivals in three starts since; drops in trip today.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 +0%) Tootsie	20 20/1(+0%)	(9) Tootsie 20/1, Poor effort when beaten 7l in a handicap here last time; in good form prior; cheekpieces on for the first time; trainer in form; effective 7/8f and acts on AW; maiden who failed to back up a good previous run. 0-15 for T Easterby but promise over further (inc Tapta); sold 3,000gns; headgear added.
9th	3 9th (3) (40/1 -150%) Howzak	40 40/1(-150%)	(3) Howzak 40/1, Made too much use of when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; partnered by a top course jockey; enjoys making the running and acts on AW, though currently out of sorts. C&D win off 1lb higher last November; sharper for recent reappearance; not discounted.

LTO Selection:

The hat-trick seeking Yorkshire Glory has to be high on the shortlist following back-to-back C&D victories. That said, GOLDMOYNE bolted up over this track and trip a couple of weeks ago and even an 11lb rise may still underestimate his ability. The rest have questions to answer right now, but Spun To Gold and Atomic Mass are the pick of them.

Goldmoyne bolted up here 13 days ago and can go well despite the 11lb rise. MAYO COUNTY caught the eye on her return though.

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.
