Sir Gerhard

0.73
0.73/1(+0%)
(6) Sir Gerhard 0.73/1, £400,000 point recruit who was unbeaten last term, notably in the Champion Bumper. Landed odds both starts over hurdles (2m), looking every inch a top-class prospect despite odd error at Leopardstown.

Three Stripe Life

8
8/1(-14%)
(8) Three Stripe Life 8/1, Fourth in the Champion Bumper last year and very positive start over hurdles, successful at Fairyhouse before a brace of runner-up efforts in Grade 1 company over 2m. Promises to stay this far.

Whatdeawant

18
18/1(+18%)
(9) Whatdeawant 18/1, Beat Ginto in a bumper and made a successful debut over hurdles at Navan in December. Shaped better than the result suggests in Grade 1 at Naas subsequently, so well worth another chance.

I Am Maximus

12
12/1(+33%)
(3) I Am Maximus 12/1, Won sole bumper at this track in 2020. Found wanting for know-how on hurdling debut but made no mistake at Newbury. Took form up another notch when runner-up over 20.3f at listed level here latest.

Hemlock

200
200/1(+0%)
(2) Hemlock 200/1, Eased in class and made sole run for Robert Widger a winning one in bumper at Perth in June. Runner-up both starts over hurdles for current yard this winter but looks out of his depth.

Haxo

125
125/1(-25%)
(1) Haxo 125/1, French bumper winner for E. Leray. Off 10 months and runner-up on hurdles debut at Punchestown 3 weeks ago (2m). In top hands but this is a huge ask at this stage of his career.
5
7th (5) Scarface (66/1 +0%)
Scarface

66
66/1(+0%)
(5) Scarface 66/1, Related to hurdling winners and found only one too good on hurdles debut at Exeter in January. Stuck to his task when occupying same spot over 19.3f at Ascot and more to come as stamina is drawn out.
4
|F| (4) Journey With Me (5/1 +33%)
Journey With Me

5
5/1(+33%)
(4) Journey With Me 5/1, Wide-margin bumper scorer and made most impressive winning debut over hurdles at Leopardstown (2m4f) in December. That race worked out well and he did his bit for the form at Naas. Exciting prospect.

Stage Star

7
7/1(+22%)
(7) Stage Star 7/1, Highly-promising bumper winner who is unbeaten over hurdles, taking the step up in class in his stride when slamming the opposition in the Challow Hurdle at Newbury. Limit not yet reached.

Ahoy Senor

4
4/1(+43%)
(1) Ahoy Senor 4/1, Unbeaten hurdler who has looked exciting chasing prospect, second to Bravemansgame at Kempton before readily scoring in Towton Chase at Wetherby. Has more to offer, and shouldn't be underestimated.
8

Gaillard Du Mesnil

11
11/1(+39%)
(8) Gaillard Du Mesnil 11/1, Runner-up in Ballymore Hurdle 12 months ago. Yet to score in three chasing runs, but very good third to Galopin des Champs in Grade 1 at Leopardstown last month. Likely to do better still up to 3m.

Capodanno

5
5/1(+29%)
(4) Capodanno 5/1, Impressive scorer at Naas on chasing bow before excellent second to Bob Olinger in Grade 2 at Punchestown. Unseated rider early in Grade 1 at Leopardstown since but he remains with lots of potential.
5
5th (5) Dusart (20/1 +20%)
Dusart

20
20/1(+20%)
(5) Dusart 20/1, Highly promising hurdler who made it 2-2 over fences with easy victory in 3m Exeter novice last month despite jumping left. Capable of much better, and shouldn't be underestimated for leading yard.

Threeunderthrufive

14
14/1(+13%)
(11) Threeunderthrufive 14/1, Four-time hurdle winner last term who matched that feat in this sphere when readily making all in 3m Warwick Grade 2 in January. This demands plenty more but he comes here more experienced than most.

Beacon Edge

8
8/1(+33%)
(2) Beacon Edge 8/1, Very smart hurdler who has quickly reached that level in this sphere, scoring at Fairyhouse before good second to Farouk d'Alene in Grade 2 at Navan. Wears cheekpieces, and looks a thorough stayer.

4.5
4.5/1(+72%)
(6) Farouk D'alene 4.5/1, Smart chaser who made it 2-4 in Grade 2 at Navan by ¾l from Beacon Edge. Likely to do better still granted a thorough test of stamina. Considered.

25
25/1(-56%)
(4) Mcfabulous 25/1, Dual Grade 2 winner last season. Returned with good second in Relkeel here on New Year's Day before below-par fourth in 3m Cleeve Hurdle. Not taken lightly back in trip now.

Commander Of Fleet

50
50/1(-25%)
(3) Commander Of Fleet 50/1, Unreliable sort but he ran one of his better races when third to Thedevilscoachman in Boyne Hurdle at Navan 22 days ago. Others are still preferred.

Fastorslow

18
18/1(-13%)
(18) Fastorslow 18/1, Ex-French hurdle/chase winner. Made promising start for current yard when second over 20f at Punchestown and not seen to best effect since in 2m Leopardstown handicaps. Bold showing expected now.

14
14/1(+36%)

10
10/1(-25%)
(19) Camprond 10/1, Dual novice winner around 2m4f, including in Grade 2 at Chepstow, but off since good fourth in 2m handicap here in November. Should play a part again back up in trip after his break.

5th (23) Maze Runner (40/1 -21%)
Maze Runner

40
40/1(-21%)
(23) Maze Runner 40/1, Winless since early 2021, but he got back on track when sixth of 24 to Good Time Jonny in 3m handicap at Leopardstown last month. Others are more appealing, however.

6th (12) Christopher Wood (40/1 +39%)
Christopher Wood

40
40/1(+39%)
(12) Christopher Wood 40/1, Winless this term, but he arrives in excellent form, second to Good Risk At All in handicap at Ascot 25 days ago on his yard debut. Another good run is likely despite 2 lb rise.
9
7th (9) Gowel Road (6.5/1 +41%)
Gowel Road

6.5
6.5/1(+41%)
(9) Gowel Road 6.5/1, C&D winner who arrives on the up, excellent second of 12 to Metier in 2m Lingfield handicap in January. Well worth considering now stepped back up in trip.

Indigo Breeze

20
20/1(-43%)
(20) Indigo Breeze 20/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who comes here very much on the up, winning 2m Gowran novice before fine second in 2m Fairyhouse conditions event. Sure to progress further as his stamina is drawn out. Player.

Champagne Gold

28
28/1(-40%)
(21) Champagne Gold 28/1, Winless since 2020, and below-form fifteenth back over hurdles at Leopardstown after an unsuccessful stint over fences. Needs a big step forward.

Dans Le Vent

33
33/1(+0%)
(14) Dans Le Vent 33/1, Bagged valuable 3m Haydock handicap and has continued in excellent form, third of 17 to Green Book in 3m Sandown handicap last time. Versatile sort who is much respected.

20
20/1(+0%)
(11) Ganapathi 20/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who was running well when falling last in Champion Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (20f) 10 months ago. In excellent hands and he shouldn't be underestimated despite his absence.

12th (10) Daly Tiger (80/1 -21%)
Daly Tiger

80
80/1(-21%)
(10) Daly Tiger 80/1, Very smart chaser who showed he is still no slouch over hurdles when scoring at Limerick on Boxing Day. In decent form since but others make more appeal at these weights.

Top Moon

150
150/1(-50%)
(22) Top Moon 150/1, Very useful chaser for Joseph O'Brien but tailed off back hurdling in 3m handicap at Leopardstown last month. Very hard to make a case for on his yard debut.

14th (13) Drop The Anchor (7.5/1 +17%)
Drop The Anchor

7.5
7.5/1(+17%)
(13) Drop The Anchor 7.5/1, Best effort this term when fifth of 27 in 2m handicap hurdle at Leopardstown last month, keeping on well late. Seventh in this event 12 months ago, so he merits consideration off 3 lb lower mark now.
24
15th (24) Tronador (50/1 -25%)
Tronador

50
50/1(-25%)
(24) Tronador 50/1, Signed off for last season with Aintree handicap win but he failed to fire in three runs in the summer, pulled up at Galway 7 months ago. Others from this yard make plenty more appeal.
5
|PU| (5) Saint Felicien (4.5/1 +25%)
Saint Felicien

4.5
4.5/1(+25%)
(5) Saint Felicien 4.5/1, Ex-French winner who scored impressively on yard bow at Gowran before fine second to Darasso in Limestone Lad at Naas. Exciting prospect who has lots more to offer now up in trip. Serious contender.
15
|PU| (15) Unexpected Party (8/1 +33%)
Unexpected Party

8
8/1(+33%)
(15) Unexpected Party 8/1, Low-mileage 7-y-o who arrives firmly on the up, always travelling strongly when easy winner of Ascot handicap in January. Hiked up 12 lb but he's still very much one to consider.
8
|PU| (8) The Shunter (10/1 +17%)
The Shunter

10
10/1(+17%)
(8) The Shunter 10/1, Smart hurdler/chaser who scored five times last term, including in the Plate here 12 months ago. Has been brought along steadily this term and no surprise to see him take a big step forward here.
6
|PU| (6) Grand Roi (12/1 +45%)
Grand Roi

12
12/1(+45%)
(6) Grand Roi 12/1, Smart hurdler who comes here in decent nick, fourth of 9 to Thedevilscoachman in Boyne Hurdle at Navan (21f, heavy, 6/1) 22 days ago. Not ruled out back in handicap company.

|PU| (17) Call Me Lord (28/1 -12%)
Call Me Lord

28
28/1(-12%)
(17) Call Me Lord 28/1, Dual Grade 2 winning hurdler. Didn't take to fences first 2 runs this term but back in form returned to this sphere, sixth of 17 in 3m Sandown handicap last month. No forlorn hope.

Garry Clermont

28
28/1(+0%)
(16) Garry Clermont 28/1, Likeable handicap hurdler who has continued his progress this season, good third to Unexpected Party in handicap at Ascot in January. Possibilities.

Mars Harper

28
28/1(+0%)
(26) Mars Harper 28/1, Back to winning ways at Downpatrick in October and has continued in good nick, seventh of 17 to The Very Man at Navan in January. No forlorn hope after a break for his top yard.

The Bosses Oscar

40
40/1(-21%)
(1) The Bosses Oscar 40/1, Smart hurdler who was runner-up in 2021 Pertemps Hurdle here. Has yet to scale the same heights over fences, and pulled up on last two starts. Bounce back is not ruled out reverted to this sphere.

40
40/1(-21%)
(4) Funambule Sivola 40/1, Likeable front-runner who has got back on the up returned to 2m with stylish wins in Doncaster handicap and Game Spirit Chase at Newbury. This is much tougher but he certainly has each-way claims.

Envoi Allen

10
10/1(+50%)
(3) Envoi Allen 10/1, Champion Bumper/Ballymore winner who fell in the Marsh last year when going for a 4-timer. Not quite as impressive this term, making hard work of it at Leopardstown at Christmas. Has had a wind op.

Politologue

80
80/1(+0%)
(6) Politologue 80/1, Won this in 2020 but very lightly raced since and after another wind op was a below-par second to Nube Negra in Shloer Chase here on sole run this term. Hard to see this veteran playing a major part.

Put The Kettle On

20
20/1(+39%)
(8) Put The Kettle On 20/1, Won the 2020 Arkle and this race last year (fourth C&D success) but she's been well beaten in 2 runs this term and it's difficult to see her retaining her crown in first-time cheekpieces.
1

Chacun Pour Soi

8
8/1(-23%)
(1) Chacun Pour Soi 8/1, Has won 6 Grade 1s over fences, including a third Dublin Chase last month. Flopped on both visits to Britain (including in this race 12 months ago) but would add real spice to the mix if at his best.

Delta Work

2.5
2.5/1(+62%)
(4) Delta Work 2.5/1, Five-time Grade 1 winner over regulation fences. Stablemate of Tiger Roll, he has shown he still retains a smart level of ability this term and potential class act if taking to this new discipline.
15
2nd (15) Tiger Roll (3/1 -71%)
Tiger Roll

3
3/1(-71%)
(15) Tiger Roll 3/1, Dual Grand National winner who has an outstanding record over these fences as well. Denied a hat-trick in this race by Easysland in 2020 but regained his crown at the expense of same rival last year.

Plan Of Attack

25
25/1(+0%)
(9) Plan Of Attack 25/1, Useful chaser who recorded 2 good in-frame efforts in C&D handicaps before Christmas. Likely to give his running again but playing for place money if some of these are at the top of their game.
5

Diesel D'Allier

12
12/1(+14%)
(5) Diesel D'Allier 12/1, Better than ever for new yard when edging out Potters Corner in C&D handicap in December. However, he was only remote fourth to Easysland in 2020 and suspicion he'll find a few too strong off levels.

Potters Corner

Brahma Bull

20

(3) Brahma Bull 20/1, Pulled up in the Thyestes last time (reportedly broke blood vessel) but he's a smart and consistent chaser in the main. Can make the odd mistake but definitely talented enough to have a big say.
12

Prengarde

4.5
4.5/1(+44%)
(12) Prengarde 4.5/1, Multiple cross-country winner in France. Well held in Naas handicap hurdle on last month's yard debut but likely to prove a different proposition now. Very interesting runner.
6

Easysland

8.5
8.5/1(+29%)
(6) Easysland 8.5/1, Beat Tiger Roll in this in 2020 but not in same form when second to him 12 months ago. Showed very little in 2 handicap hurdles for new yard last month. This more his thing but hard to be confident.
2
|PU| (2) Back On The Lash (22/1 +12%)
Back On The Lash

22
22/1(+12%)
(2) Back On The Lash 22/1, Relished the step up in trip when making a winning start to cross-country career over C&D in November. Only a respectable fifth to Diesel d'Allier here since and has a bit to find on these terms.
7
|PU| (7) Midnight Maestro (33/1 -65%)
Midnight Maestro

33
33/1(-65%)
(7) Midnight Maestro 33/1, Ran disappointingly over this C&D but he bounced back when winning a cross-country event at Punchestown last month by a neck from stablemate Shady Operator. Yard always feared in these events.
10
|PU| (10) Poker Party (33/1 -65%)
Poker Party

33
33/1(-65%)
(10) Poker Party 33/1, Won a Kerry National in autumn 2019 but no show in a handicap hurdle/chase since returning from a long absence. This new discipline needs to spark something in him.
16

Tout Est Permis

33
33/1(+18%)
(16) Tout Est Permis 33/1, Smart chaser at his best but he was nowhere near that level when third to Midnight Maestro and Shady Operator in a Punchestown cross-country last month. Owner has stronger claims elsewhere.
14

Step Back

66
66/1(+0%)
(14) Step Back 66/1, Useful chaser at his best who was a respectable third in Edinburgh National at Musselburgh last month. Faded into sixth on sole previous atrtempt over these fences. Likely to find a few too strong.

5/1(+41%)
(10) Amarillo Sky 5/1, Done little wrong since going chasing, gaining second small-field victory in emphatic fashion at Newbury (16.4f) last month, from Shakem Up'arry. Assessor applies further pressure and this tougher.
19
6th (19) Hasankey (33/1 +18%)
Hasankey

33
33/1(+18%)
(19) Hasankey 33/1, Made excellent strides forward over fences this season, defying another hike in weights when completing hat-trick at Wetherby (15f) last month, just holding on. Understandably more needed again.
7
7th (7) Embittered (12/1 -9%)
Embittered

12
12/1(-9%)
(7) Embittered 12/1, Smart hurdler who fell in this race 12 months ago (well backed) but managed 2 chase victories thereafter, latterly a Gr 3 in October. Well held in graded company since but this likely been his target.
12
8th (12) Il Ridoto (18/1 +10%)
Il Ridoto

18
18/1(+10%)
(12) Il Ridoto 18/1, Improved markedly on yard debut effort when easy winner from 12 lb lower at Newbury (16.4f) in November. Similar form when third of 4 in Lingfield novice (2m) in January and he may have more to offer

A Wave Of The Sea

25/1(+0%)
(4) A Wave Of The Sea 25/1, Reacted well to fitting of blinkers, best of those held up when runner-up in Munster National and displayed good attitude to score at Leopardstown (17.2f) last month. 8 lb higher mark to defy now.
11
10th (11) Dancing On My Own (33/1 -83%)
Dancing On My Own

33
33/1(-83%)
(11) Dancing On My Own 33/1, Made light of lengthy absence to take a KIllarney maiden chase (17f) in October. Had plausible excuses in a couple of starts since (fell latest) and not ruled out on handicap bow over fences.
1
11th (1) Sky Pirate (14/1 -17%)
Sky Pirate

14
14/1(-17%)
(1) Sky Pirate 14/1, Much improved for drop to 2m last season, defying a market drift to land this race from 4 lb lower mark. Hard to knock efforts in defeat this time around and expected to give it another good go.
18
|PU| (18) For Pleasure (7/1 +72%)
For Pleasure

7
7/1(+72%)
(18) For Pleasure 7/1, Front runner who opened chase account in 3-runner Plumpton novice (17f) in December. Fell next time but typically went with plenty of zest for all he was last of 4 in Gr 2 latest. This more suitable.
9
|PU| (9) Elixir De Nutz (14/1 +22%)
Elixir De Nutz

14
14/1(+22%)
(9) Elixir De Nutz 14/1, Smart hurdler who arrives having landed Plumpton novice (19.7f) in January prior to easily accounting for 3 rivals on handicap debut at Kempton (18f). Remains low-mileage but this much deeper.
16
|PU| (16) Gumball (14/1 +50%)
Gumball

14
14/1(+50%)
(16) Gumball 14/1, Smart hurdler/chaser at his best who struck on the Flat at York (2m) in October. Ran well despite a sluggish start when second at Ludlow (2m) in December and he appeals as being on a handy mark.
15
|PU| (15) Poseidon (66/1 -164%)
Poseidon

66
66/1(-164%)
(15) Poseidon 66/1, Confirmed previous promise to make winning handicap chase debut at Cork (17.7f) in October. Things haven't gone to plan since but this more suitable than his latest Punchestown novice assignment.
5
|PU| (5) Exit Poll (66/1 -65%)
Exit Poll

66
66/1(-65%)
(5) Exit Poll 66/1, Scored twice over fences last year, landing a Roscommon Gr 3 by a neck from Embittered in September. Solid efforts in handicaps next 2 starts but must shrug off lesser effort at Leopardstown latest.

1.88/1(-15%)
(7) Facile Vega 1.88/1, Arrives on the back of two authoritative displays, again looking something potentially special when winning by 12 lengths with more to give at the Dublin Racing Festival. Boasts leading claims.

(2) American Mike 2.5/1, Expensive point recruit who has sauntered clear twice to maintain an unbeaten record since switched to Rules. Listed success at Navan 88 days ago has been boosted, and there's more in the locker.
10

James's Gate

16
16/1(+0%)
(10) James's Gate 16/1, Sent off a strong odds-on favourite before readily making all at Punchestown a month ago. Clearly well regarded and in top hands, so looks well worth his place.
17
4th (17) Seabank Bistro (18/1 +64%)
Seabank Bistro

18

(17) Seabank Bistro 18/1, Walk In The Park gelding who scored readily despite showing signs of greenness at Naas first time out. More to come, but lack of experience could be his undoing.

Authorised Speed

50/1(+38%)
(3) Authorised Speed 50/1, Off the mark in impressive fashion at Newbury in January, then seemed unsuited by a steady pace at the same track next time. Remains with potential, but a place is probably the best he can do.

Poetic Music

33
33/1(+34%)
(21) Poetic Music 33/1, Poet's Voice filly who is 3 from 3 in bumpers (left John Butler after debut), overcoming a positional bias to land a listed event 74 days ago. Could go well in receipt of weight once more.
15

Our Jester

50
50/1(+0%)
(15) Our Jester 50/1, Off the mark at Ascot on return, then quickened away from the front to score at Lingfield 52 days ago. This represents a different sort of test, and others have achieved more.
13
8th (13) Music Drive (50/1 +0%)
Music Drive

50
50/1(+0%)
(13) Music Drive 50/1, Point winner who made a promising start when second of 6 in bumper at Leopardstown, then went one better in a first-time tongue strap at Naas 17 days ago. Needs more if he's to play a hand.
18
9th (18) Spanish Present (250/1 -25%)
Spanish Present

250
250/1(-25%)
(18) Spanish Present 250/1, Off the mark in a 7-runner event at Market Rasen 22 days ago but he's way off the level required to feature in this.
20

Viva Devito

22
22/1(+56%)
(20) Viva Devito 22/1, First run since leaving Gearoid O'Loughlin when winning 9-runner bumper at Tramore, barely coming off the bridle. This demands a lot more, but he has obvious potential.
12
11th (12) Madmansgame (10/1 +75%)
Madmansgame

10
10/1(+75%)
(12) Madmansgame 10/1, Blue Bresil gelding who was bought for 250,000 gns after winning sole outing in points, then responded well to follow suit in a bumper at Navan. Stiff finish should suit, so he's not ruled out.

Cillians Charm

(5) Cillians Charm 250/1, Runner-up in a point and filled the same position on Rules bow in a bumper at Catterick a month ago. Out of his depth in this, though.

Redemption Day

(16) Redemption Day 7/1, Landed the odds at Leopardstown on debut in late December, seeming to have loads of running left as he powered away. Very bright prospect who demands plenty of respect.

Ocean Of Mercy

125
125/1(-56%)
(14) Ocean Of Mercy 125/1, Ask gelding who has shown up well to be placed in competitive bumpers, the latter coming at this track 144 days ago. Unlikely that he possesses the ability to get involved in this, however.

Houlanbatordechais

14
14/1(+13%)
(9) Houlanbatordechais 14/1, Ready winner of a couple of French races in October. Picked up by top connections since and, while he's been thrown in at the deep end to some degree, he still warrants a market check.
11

Joyeux Machin

33
33/1(+0%)
(11) Joyeux Machin 33/1, Confirmed debut promise when comfortably landing a Navan event in February. The level he's achieved to date is some way short of what's required now, though.
19
|PU| (19) Top Dog (50/1 +24%)
Top Dog

50
50/1(+24%)
(19) Top Dog 50/1, Placed 3 times before opening his account in a listed event at Newbury a month ago. Showed a better attitude that day, but he lacks the talent to trouble some of the big guns.

Ain't No Sunshine

125
125/1(+17%)
(1) Ain't No Sunshine 125/1, Well-bred 6yo who scored cosily having been well supported at Kelso first time out. More than likely to be outclassed upped markedly in grade, though.

Call Me Harry

125
125/1(+17%)
(4) Call Me Harry 125/1, Unbeaten in two to date, well on top at the finish when scoring at Newcastle last time, but this is an entirely different test, and he has plenty to find on form.

Godot

400
400/1(-100%)
(8) Godot 400/1, Nicely bred and shaped well when third of 14 at Huntingdon on debut. Failed to back it up at Kempton subsequently, so most unlikely he'll make an impact at the top level.

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.
