BALLYBRITTAS ran really well on his chase debut in a similar race at Thurles three weeks ago and can go one better. The Champs Elysees gelding chased home Spinning Web and that winner has gone in again at the same venue. Ballybrittas won his maiden hurdle over two miles so dropping back in trip doesn't look like an issue. On Lovers Walk looks nicely treated with a chase mark of 113, but this drop in distance would be a concern for the dual point-to-point winner. Luimneach was a decent sort over timber and this is a nice race for him on his chase debut, as his hurdles mark is just 1lb below the maximum rating.

There should be more to come from BALLYBRITTAS in this sphere and he is taken to land the opener. On Lovers Walk and Presenting Max rate the principal dangers.

This seems like a suitable opportunity for BALLYBRITTAS to build on a Thurles second, boosted by the winner's follow-up success

Paul Townend sides with RATH GAUL BOY and the Well Chosen gelding is unexposed in this sphere. He was a touch keen when third to Springt De La Mare on his debut over fences at Punchestown last month. He improved for a run last year and this better ground may suit him. Stablemate Lombron has run a couple of solid races over fences to date and is entitled to be a big player as well. Western Fold has a decent mark of 134 and has experience on his side. He also has to be respected.

RATH GAUL BOY made a pleasing chase debut at Punchestown last month and is the choice of Paul Townend. He gets the nod. Dancingondaceiling and Lombron are feared most.

If LOMBRON repeats the level of form he has shown on his last two runs he is the one they all have to beat.

A competitive event and DOONBEG DON may prove the pick stepping back up in trip. He ran into a well-handicapped rival in Don't Talk at Down Royal back in January and that rival went on to frank the form. That was over an extended 2m4f and the Soldier Of Fortune gelding may be better suited by this extra yardage, having won over a similar trip on his chase debut at Galway last October. Maciver comes here in tip-top form, but a 9lb rise for his narrow Limerick victory makes things tougher. Bite That won easily at Wexford and also has to be on the shortlist.

A few with chances but DOONBEG DON rates the pick of these weights on the back of a very good Down Royal second last time out so gets the vote. Both Emily In Paris and Bite That rate big threats though, while Pebble Bleu, Maciver and Baldur's Gate need factoring in too.

Winner of his last four races, Maciver deserves respect. However, preference is for the relatively inexperienced DOONBEG DON

A moderate looking contest and Cian Collins might be able to take it with point-to-point winner CAPTAIN P. The Jet Away gelding took a five-year-old maiden at Tyrella in January and the horse that chased him home has run really well to be placed in two maiden hurdles since. Pour One More has produced some nice bumper runs this season, including when fourth at Limerick recently. He could be a danger on his jumping debut. Rockonliam was well supported when sixth on his first outing for Henry de Bromhead at Tramore on New Year's Day and may get closer now in this company.

HOWDOYALIKEHERHOME holds the clear edge on form and is fancied to bely his absence and make a winning start for Gordon Elliott here. Rockonliam has better days ahead of him and could emerge as the chief threat, although Captain P, Be Positive and Tsavo Park can all have a say too.

ROCKONLIAM disappointed at Tramore on New Year's Day when strong in the betting but the stable is in much better form now

RACHEL'S SECRET ran much better last time after a disappointing effort on her return from a long absence at the start of the year. The six-year-old was well beaten in the end when third behind stablemate Custom Taylor at Limerick a fortnight ago, but travelled well until the turn and this drop back in trip should suit. She has the benefit of a recent run, which may prove the difference. Ashdale Flyer had some solid runs last season and, with a mark of 100, she's entitled to be thereabouts. Shannon Bank was placed twice in bumpers and she's another to consider on her jumping bow.

RACHEL'S SECRET made a sound enough start for new trainer Declan Queally when third at Limerick a fortnight ago and might prove the answer to what looks an ordinary maiden. Jessie Harrington's Ashdale Flyer will be a threat if fully primed after 6 months off, while Shannon Bank has achieved enough in bumpers to think she could make her presence felt in a race like this

Declan Queally runs three in this contest but RACHEL'S SECRET is by far the standout and she should take some beating

VOLEZ VOUS sprang a shock last time and may be able to follow up in a weak race. The Yeats mare was 66/1 when scoring over 2m here, in a race that looked to have more strength in depth. There may be another one in her, despite a 7lb rise. Beeverstown Place ran well on his penultimate outing here, when fourth to Mount Shenshan, and drops back in trip having failed to make an impression over 3m subsequently. Chemdawg didn't run too badly when mid-division at Fairyhouse and could get closer now in this company.

If the tongue tie continues to have a positive effect last month's course scorer VOLEZ VOUS might be able to defy a rise in the weights. Ladyeze Man was better than the result here last time and is second choice ahead of Beeverstown Place in a contest where it's hard to make a compelling case for many.

A very tentative vote goes to BEEVERSTOWN PLACE who shaped okay here off 3lb higher on his penultimate start.

This looks like the more competitive of the two divisions and TINGARRAN EXPRESS may prove the pick. She ran well on her return to action here last month, in testing conditions, just fading a touch late on when seventh behind Volez Vous. With that run under her belt, and better ground now, she is expected to go close. She has a bit to find with Heidi's Frontiere, who was third here four weeks ago. That was an improvement on her previous form and a similar showing gives her a big chance. Western Opera has hinted at ability in maidens and may be one to watch on her handicap debut.

HEIDI'S FRONTIERE built on the promise of her reappearance run at the second attempt when third over 2m here 4 weeks ago, faring best of those held up. She leaves the impression there's a bigger effort in her locker, including at this longer trip, and she earns the vote to come out on top. Tingarran Express, Weather Alert, who shaped much better than the distance beaten suggests latest, and Robindevidastar head up the dangers.

A chance is taken on the filly Tir Og who could build on the promise she showed in her first handicap over 2m3f here last month.

DOCTOR STEINBERG should prove hard to beat, despite returning from a year off the track. The Doctor Dino gelding ran a nice race when third to star stablemate Kopek Des Bordes when the pair made their debuts in the Tattersalls Sales Bumper last Easter. Cosmos D'ainay won a point-to-point in December and subsequently made 165,000 pounds at the sales. He's an interesting rival. Gavin Cromwell's newcomer Artsncrafts is another to note in the market. The Flat-bred Mastercraftsman gelding makes a belated debut at the age of six and is a half-brother to Impact Warrior, who was placed in the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks.

DOCTOR STEINBERG produced a promising first effort when third behind now high-class stablemate Kopek des Bordes in a Fairyhouse bumper 12 months ago and, open to improvement, he's selected to make a winning return to action. Cosmos d'Ainay rates an interesting recruit from the pointing field and is feared. Sunny South West and Ace Brannigan complete the shortlist.

The form of DOCTOR STEINBERG's debut 3rd behind stablemate Kopek Des Bordes couldn't have worked out better and he gets the nod

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.
