1st (3) (3/1 -84%) Croke Park |
3/1(-84%) | (3) Croke Park 3/1, £400,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Winning pointer who made an encouraging start under Rules when second of 16 in bumper at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 13/8) back in May. The winner that day has gone in again since and he's high on the shortlist on hurdles bow. Bumper runner-up very likely to be more suited by obstacles and a leading contender here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (12/1 -50%) Chiefs Kingdom |
12/1(-50%) | (2) Chiefs Kingdom 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, shaped as if still in decent heart for much of the way when seventh of 14 in maiden hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) back in July. Sets the bar of those with hurdling experience. Unproven on ground like this but the stable are in good form and comes into calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (4.5/1 +36%) Talk In The Park |
4.5/1(+36%) | (8) Talk In The Park 4.5/1, Promising type. Shaped like a stayer on what was effectively his hurdling debut when second of 9 in maiden at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft, 9/2) 20 days ago. May well do better. More needed for him to be a factor here although seems to act on the ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (25/1 +0%) Glenmalure Flyer |
25/1(+0%) | (11) Glenmalure Flyer 25/1, 25/1, went backwards from debut when fifteenth of 22 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy) 8 months ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and needs keeping a close eye on in the betting given connections. Not seen since January but the stable is in good form; tried in a tongue-tie here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (150/1 -88%) Knocknaconnery |
150/1(-88%) | (5) Knocknaconnery 150/1, Seventh of 9 in bumper at Navan (15.8f, soft, 50/1) on debut 9 months ago. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving P. F. McEnery. Has joined Sam Curling having had one nondescript bumper run; up against it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (100/1 -150%) Grow As You Go |
100/1(-150%) | (4) Grow As You Go 100/1, Fourth of 7 in bumper (28/1) at this course (16.4f, heavy) on debut just under 2 years ago. Best watched on hurdles debut after such a lengthy absence. Fourth of seven in a bumper here two years ago; likely to need this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (300/1 -20%) Restless Son |
300/1(-20%) | (6) Restless Son 300/1, Well held in pair of maiden hurdles. Soundly beaten in two maiden hurdles and makes no appeal in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (100/1 -25%) The Empty Kettel |
100/1(-25%) | (10) The Empty Kettel 100/1, Showed ability but was well positioned when fourth on hurdles bow at Tramore but was well held at Listowel (24f, good to soft) since. Significantly down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not at his best stepped up to 3m at Listowel; tongue-tie tried here but has it to do. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
It would be no surprise if THE ELECTRICAL KID was good enough to make a winning start for Willie Mullins. The Malinas gelding was runner-up in a point-to-point back in November 2021 before being picked up for 95,000 pounds at the sales the following month. The horse that he chased home in that point was Inthepocket, a Grade 1 winner for Henry de Bromhead at Aintree in April. Croke Park was beaten favourite on his 'track' debut in a Kilbeggan bumper back in May. He may improve for going jumping now but needs to step up on that showing. Talk In The Park was beaten a fair way when second to Yeats Star at Downpatrick earlier in the month but could reach the frame again.
THE ELECTRICAL KID was runner-up on his sole start in points a couple of years ago and he's fancied to go one better on Rules debut for Willie Mullins. Croke Park finished runner-up in a Kilbeggan bumper back in May, so he's put forward as the main danger starting out over timber, while Chiefs Kingdom sets the standard of those with hurdling experience and can battle out third spot with Glenmalure Flyer.
The one to beat is THE ELECTRICAL KID, second to a Grade 1-winning novice hurdler in his sole point-to-point

1st (11) (3/1 -71%) Mount Sinai |
3/1(-71%) | (11) Mount Sinai 3/1, Ran to a similar level as on debut when third of 9 in bumper at Listowel (16f, soft, 5/2) 34 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and should have plenty to offer now upped in trip. Unproven on the ground but the step up in trip looks likely to suit and a big player here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (13/8 +46%) Roccos Inspiration |
13/8(+46%) | (12) Roccos Inspiration 13/8, 9/2, looked rusty after 5 months off faced with an inadequate test when third of 11 in maiden hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, soft) 7 days ago, running on. Back up in trip. Good effort over a short trip at Thurles last week after five months off; should go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (10/3 +26%) Lucky Viv |
10/3(+26%) | (9) Lucky Viv 10/3, Fair hurdler. Wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of 14 in maiden hurdle (5/1) at Tramore (20.3f, heavy) 2 weeks ago, keeping on when untidy last having been set plenty to do. Seemed to handle the ground well enough over 2m4f at Tramore last time; each-way chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (13/2 +74%) Michal |
13/2(+74%) | (10) Michal 13/2, Fourth on sole outing in points. 9/1, sixth of 9 in maiden hurdle at Bellewstown (20f, good) on NH debut 110 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Probably one for later on. No real show on her track debut at Bellewstown in July; probably capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (16) (66/1 -32%) Pebble Bleu |
66/1(-32%) | (16) Pebble Bleu 66/1, Placed sole outing in points. 11/1, eleventh of 12 in bumper at Tipperary (18f, soft) on NH debut 6 months ago. Makes hurdles debut. Well beaten in a Tipperary bumper in May; best watched after almost six months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (40/1 +0%) Hill Rocket |
40/1(+0%) | (5) Hill Rocket 40/1, Shaped as if she'll be better for the experience when eighth of 13 in maiden hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, good to soft, 100/1) on debut a couple of months ago, going in snatches. Beaten under 12l when eighth of 13 in a modest good ground maiden hurdle at Sligo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (25/1 +69%) Always Enchanting |
25/1(+69%) | (1) Always Enchanting 25/1, Possibly needed the run after 10 months off when tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Tipperary (16f, soft) back in April. Up in trip. Off another 6 months and best watched. Well beaten in a Tipperary handicap hurdle in April when last seen after nine months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (15) (200/1 +0%) Aleish Lass |
200/1(+0%) | (15) Aleish Lass 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, sixteenth of 17 in maiden hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft) 80 days ago. Soundly beaten in a bumper and two maiden hurdles; makes little appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (40/1 +20%) Caughtinaspell |
40/1(+20%) | (4) Caughtinaspell 40/1, Lightly raced in points. Eighth of 12 in bumper at Tipperary (18f, soft, 28/1) on NH debut 6 months ago. Makes hurdles debut. Down the field in a pointers bumper at Tipperary in May; others more likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (100/1 -25%) Smile Again |
100/1(-25%) | (13) Smile Again 100/1, Poor in bumpers and was well beaten on hurdling debut after 5 months off at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft, 80/1) recently. Up in trip. Unplaced in two bumper runs here; tailed off on hurdling debut at Punchestown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (12/1 -20%) Awesome Shirocco |
12/1(-20%) | (2) Awesome Shirocco 12/1, 2/1, failed to repeat previous effort when fifth of 14 in bumper at Cork (16f, soft). Off over 2½ years. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Up in trip. Last seen when a beaten favourite in a Cork bumper in March 2021; entitled to need the run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (3) (66/1 -65%) Bellachamps |
66/1(-65%) | (3) Bellachamps 66/1, Shaped as if in need of experience when eleventh of 17 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good, 5/1) on debut 12 months ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Well beaten in a Tipperary bumper a year ago for Gordon Elliott; best watched this time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (200/1 -100%) Just Chelsea |
200/1(-100%) | (8) Just Chelsea 200/1, Unseated rider both starts in mares maiden hurdles (for S. Curling on first outing). Up in trip. Failed to complete on both runs over hurdles, only getting to the first flight latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (17) (200/1 +0%) Western Summer |
200/1(+0%) | (17) Western Summer 200/1, Pulled up on both starts in points. 40/1, looked a tricky ride when seventh of 8 in bumper at Kilbeggan (19f, good) on NH debut 48 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Pulled up in both her points and was tailed off in a Kilbeggan bumper; looks limited. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MOUNT SINAI can make a winning start over jumps. The Mount Nelson mare has been placed on both her outings in bumpers and this looks like a nice starting point for her over timber. She is a half-sister to a decent sort in Seabank Bistro. Roccos Inspiration sets the standard off a mark of 108 and has plenty of solid placed form, including when third at Thurles a week ago. Lucky Viv has a similar profile and is rated just a pound lower by the handicapper.
A case of quantity over quality here and having finished third on both starts in bumpers recently, MOUNT SINAI is selected to make a winning hurdling debut stepped up in trip for Willie Mullins. Roccos Inspiration has had plenty of attempts to get off the mark, but she may emerge as the main threat with a recent outing under her belt, ahead of Lucky Viv and Instant Tendance.
This could be the opportunity for ROCCOS INSPIRATION (nap) to gain an overdue success after a good run over too short a trip at Thurles

1st (5) (5/1 -100%) Castle Field Boy |
5/1(-100%) | (5) Castle Field Boy 5/1, 11/4, career best when winning 18-runner novice hurdle at Tipperary (20.2f, soft), responding well. Off 6 months. Leading claims. Tipperary maiden winner when last seen in April; unexposed entering handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (6.5/1 -30%) Whatsavailable |
6.5/1(-30%) | (2) Whatsavailable 6.5/1, Below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Bellewstown (20.4f, good) 57 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Trip stretches him but down to last winning mark and cheekpieces tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (12/1 -33%) Street Value |
12/1(-33%) | (3) Street Value 12/1, Course winner. Fell in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (24.6f, soft, 22/1) joined when fell heavily last, looking sure to be placed at the time of his exit. Off 6 months and switches from chase to hurdles. Tongue strap back on. Has his ground here but record fresh isn't great so may need this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5.5/1 +54%) The Little Yank |
5.5/1(+54%) | (4) The Little Yank 5.5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, ninth of 12 in handicap chase at Limerick (24f, heavy) 4 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and he could have a part to play. Six-time winner though not over this far and in such testing conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (14/1 -155%) Robinstown |
14/1(-155%) | (1) Robinstown 14/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Listowel (24f, soft, 10/1) 33 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has good chance on pick of form. Last year's winner in similar conditions hasn't won since; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (3/1 +40%) Storm Mahler |
3/1(+40%) | (7) Storm Mahler 3/1, Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in August. Twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) 38 days ago. Back up in trip and current mark looks a tough one. Progressing nicely until Listowel flop; needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (9/4 +55%) Brianna Lily |
9/4(+55%) | (6) Brianna Lily 9/4, C&D winner. Latest win in hurdle here in September. Respectable tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23f, good, 12/1) 16 days ago. Looks vulnerale for win purposes. Runaway C&D winner last month bombed at Punchestown but remains of interest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BRIANNA LILY handled testing conditions well when scoring over course and distance late last month and may be able to repeat the dose. The Shirocco mare didn't make much impression on better going at Galway last time but back here and on softer ground she may prove the pick. Stablemate Castle Field Boy won a Tipperary maiden hurdle when last seen in April and has handled softer ground. He will be a leading player if stripping fit for his return. The Little Yank has been busy over fences lately and off a lower hurdles mark he could get involved in this small field.
CASTLE FIELD BOY maintained his theme of gradual race-by-race progress when landing a big-field Tipperary maiden last month, and he is likely to prove a tough nut to crack. The Little Yank and Brianna Lily are feared most in that order of preference, while last year's winner Robinstown would be a threat if returning to something close to his best.
Question marks surround many of these and perhaps CASTLE FIELD BOY can making a winning handicap debut

1st (3) (7.5/1 +53%) Housemartin |
7.5/1(+53%) | (3) Housemartin 7.5/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Not seen since well beaten in a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in April; first-time tongue-tied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (4.5/1 +18%) Natural Breeze |
4.5/1(+18%) | (6) Natural Breeze 4.5/1, Course winner who pulled clear of remainder when good second of 7 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, heavy) 14 days ago. Remains fairly treated and holds solid claims. Narrowly beaten at Tramore two weeks ago; handles this ground well and should go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (10/1 +38%) Shean Glory |
10/1(+38%) | (13) Shean Glory 10/1, Course winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, heavy, 5/1) 14 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Work to do. Cheekpieces left off here for her return to hurdles after Tramore; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (50/1 +50%) Cornmarket |
50/1(+50%) | (12) Cornmarket 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Ballinrobe (21.6f, good) 93 days ago. Back down in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. Modest form overall and makes no real appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (11/2 +0%) Dontdooddson |
11/2(+0%) | (5) Dontdooddson 11/2, C&D winner who has been holding his form well in recent starts, latest when good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Roscommon (15.9f, soft) 31 days ago. Shortlist material. In good form of late; freshened up since his last run and likely to play a hand here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/1 -175%) Dubai Clover |
11/1(-175%) | (2) Dubai Clover 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 20 in handicap at Navan (14f, heavy, 16/1) 8 days ago. Unseated early on last hurdles start and warrants respect on handicap hurdle debut. Decent third in a 1m6f Flat handicap at Navan last week; handles soft ground; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (25/1 -14%) Castlehill Boy |
25/1(-14%) | (4) Castlehill Boy 25/1, 14/1, bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.6f, good) 93 days ago. Back down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Maiden has run well at times but has to rebound from a poor Ballinrobe run; tongue-tie on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (9/2 +44%) Blue Reed |
9/2(+44%) | (1) Blue Reed 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Good second of 10 in novice hurdle (28/1) at this course (16.8f, heavy) 28 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping. Fairly handicapped on his latest effort here and unexposed; each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 +36%) Longhouse Star |
16/1(+36%) | (7) Longhouse Star 16/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (24.2f, heavy, 10/1) 28 days ago, weakening before next. Significantly back down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Hard to fancy. New headgear tried and the booking of Derek O'Connor means he is not totally dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (33/1 -18%) Pana To Milan |
33/1(-18%) | (8) Pana To Milan 33/1, 14/1, ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16f, heavy) 14 days ago. Plenty to prove at present. Well beaten in two starts since returning from her summer break and best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (9/2 +44%) Go Gill Go |
9/2(+44%) | (9) Go Gill Go 9/2, Stepped up on return effort when respectable third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 5 days ago. Enters calculations. Staying-on third over trip and ground at Limerick on Saturday; should be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (12/1 +45%) Kiss My Lucky Egg |
12/1(+45%) | (10) Kiss My Lucky Egg 12/1, Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. Held in fifth when fell last at Downpatrick (21.5f, soft) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Others preferred. Fell at Downpatrick; should be much more at home back at this trip and likely to go well. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Philip Rothwell is enjoying a fine season so far and NATURAL BREEZE may be able to give him another winner here. The Shirocco gelding has run well to be placed on his last two outings and went down fighting at Tramore a fortnight ago in similar ground. He stays a bit further than this but stamina will be important in this ground. Blue Reed ran much better when chasing home Conyers Hill in a maiden hurdle here last month and looks on a fair mark for his handicap debut. Dontdooddson has been knocking on the door and could be place material.
C&D winner DONTDOODDSON arrives in good form and may be able to get back on the scoreboard. Natural Breeze and Go Gill Go can also make their presence felt.
A sporting selection goes to KISS MY LUCKY EGG, who should be suited by coming back in trip and could be progressive

1st (2) (2/1 -14%) Limerick Lace |
2/1(-14%) | (2) Limerick Lace 2/1, Useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Naas in February. 11/4, below form 22½ lengths third of 7 to Instit in listed chase at Fairyhouse (21.7f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Should have a big say if ready to roll. Every chance on overall form but record fresh not great so possibly vulnerable here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (11/4 +21%) Heia |
11/4(+21%) | (3) Heia 11/4, Useful hurdler. Winning chase debut at Tramore in June but below that level in her 2 outings since. Early days but a bounce back is needed. Disappointing since Tramore win and questions to answer at this stage. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/3 +33%) Minx Tiara |
10/3(+33%) | (4) Minx Tiara 10/3, Useful chaser. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap chase at Cork (17.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago, though she did have the run of it from the front. Good recent Cork effort and has her chance at the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (8/1 +76%) Feddans |
8/1(+76%) | (5) Feddans 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Well-beaten fourth of 6 to Eabha Grace in Shannon Spray Mares Novices' Hurdle at Limerick (22f, heavy, 9/1), ridden too aggressively. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. Maiden hurdle winner here last season but stiff task awaits on chasing bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (4/1 -14%) Hurricane Georgie |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Hurricane Georgie 4/1, Smart chaser. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 11/1, good 1¾ lengths second of 5 to Minella Indo in Grade 3 chase at Punchestown (23.3f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Down in trip. Leading claims. Flattered by latest but in good heart and possible fitness advantage over some of these. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
An interesting little heat and LIMERICK LACE may be able to make a winning return. The Walk In The Park mare had a fine season as a novice last term, winning twice and finishing second in Grade 3 company at Naas. She is top rated in this, off a mark of 141, and may have a few more gears than rival Hurricane Georgie. Gordon Elliott's charge does come here race-fit though and ran a cracker when chasing home Minella Indo in Grade 3 company at Punchestown 15 days ago. Her best form is at further though. Heia disappointed on her most recent outing at Listowel, when it was reported that she was showing signs of coming into season. She is capable of better and getting weight off the top two she can't be discounted.
HURRICANE GEORGIE has drawn a blank since her Midlands National success at Kilbeggan in summer 2022 but her latest Punchestown Grade 3 second would suggest she's still smart on her day and this might be a decent opportunity for her as Limerick Lace has peak fitness to prove back from 6 months off, while Heia needs to get back on track after a disappointing run at Listowel last month.
Question marks surround several so the default choice is MINX TIARA on the back of a good recent run at Cork

1st (4) (10/3 +17%) Bonnie Kellie |
10/3(+17%) | (4) Bonnie Kellie 10/3, Off 5 months but running well when unseated rider 3 out (poised to challenge) in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.3f, soft, 9/2) 31 days ago. Firmly in the picture off an unchanged mark. Very encouraging Roscommon comeback run last month; major player if avoiding serious error. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (6/1 +70%) Kilashee |
6/1(+70%) | (7) Kilashee 6/1, Starting to struggle when fell 2 out in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, heavy, 6/1) 23 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Unreliable individual. Bits and pieces chasing but not a natural jumper and hard to be confident in. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (11/4 -22%) Jenny Flex |
11/4(-22%) | (6) Jenny Flex 11/4, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner novice chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, soft, 9/2) 20 days ago. Had a bit in hand there and headgear is retained so she's a player on her handicap debut. Downpatrick winner faces greater stamina test on handicap debut but going the right way. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (6/1 -20%) Sunnyvilla |
6/1(-20%) | (5) Sunnyvilla 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in February. Good third of 11 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.6f, soft, 10/1), running on. Off 6 months so needs to hit the ground running. C&D winner two years ago (after a break) so has to be respected on comeback here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (9/1 +73%) Crowsatedappletart |
9/1(+73%) | (8) Crowsatedappletart 9/1, Continues out of sorts, eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on with work to do. Hard to fancy on both recent efforts in handicaps although handicapper giving him a chance. |

|PU| (9) (12/1 +45%) Harly De Rots |
12/1(+45%) | (9) Harly De Rots 12/1, 150/1, tenth of 12 in claiming hurdle at Limerick (21f, soft). Off 8 months. Switches from hurdles to chase with plenty to prove. Didn't get beyond the first on handicap bow; tailed off in claiming hurdle when last seen. |

|PU| (3) (14/1 -300%) Room To Roam |
14/1(-300%) | (3) Room To Roam 14/1, Got off the mark over fences in 9-runner handicap chase (13/2) at Sligo (21.2f, heavy) 29 days ago. Up 8 lb but still not discounted. Ran away with 2m5f Sligo contest; 8lb rise to career-high chase mark so more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (17/2 -6%) Slige Dala |
17/2(-6%) | (1) Slige Dala 17/2, Eighteen runs since last win in 2020. 8/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, soft) 45 days ago. Others still more persuasive. One of better efforts when fourth at Galway on latest; drops in grade so don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (18/1 +0%) Rebel Early |
18/1(+0%) | (2) Rebel Early 18/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, last of 6 in novice chase at Listowel (20f, soft) 36 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Plenty to find with Slige Dala on penultimate Galway effort when jumping poorly. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
JENNY FLEX was probably value for a bit more than her winning margin at Downpatrick last time and may be able to strike again here. The well-bred Walk In The Park mare has taken a while to find her feet but was good last time, scooting clear between the last two fences and idling a bit late on to beat stablemate Zettabyte by a length-and-three-quarters. An initial handicap mark of 102 doesn't look harsh. Room To Roam also comes here in winning form, having scored by a wide margin at Sligo late last month. He got a 8lb hike for that victory but looks like the obvious danger. Slige Dala has run well to be placed on his last couple of outings and could reach the frame again.
JENNY FLEX showed the benefit of headgear when going in cosily at Downpatrick last time and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark back in handicap company here with the cheekpieces again sported. Bonnie Kellie rates the chief threat if none the worse for her late Roscommon fall, with Room To Roam also firmly in the picture on the back of his recent Sligo victory.
Preference is for BONNIE KELLIE, who was running a good comeback race until unseating at Roscommon

1st (7) (4/1 +38%) Midnight It Is |
4/1(+38%) | (7) Midnight It Is 4/1, 7/2, below form seventh of 14 in handicap chase at Listowel (20f, soft) 34 days ago. Player if bouncing back. 16lb well in over fences but just not as good a chaser; should be a contender for all that. |

2nd (5) (17/2 -6%) Freddie Robdal |
17/2(-6%) | (5) Freddie Robdal 17/2, Winner in chase at Tramore in April. Sixth of 8 in novice chase (17/2) at Tramore (15.5f, good) 70 days ago. Others make more appeal. Mostly consistent since until running poorly at Tramore in August; chance at his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (6/1 +63%) Carrolls Cottage |
6/1(+63%) | (4) Carrolls Cottage 6/1, Unreliable type. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in handicap chase (8/1) at this course (22.8f, heavy). Off 6 months. Down in trip. Disappointing profile in recent times; handles the ground and has a chance at his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (7/2 -17%) Womalko |
7/2(-17%) | (8) Womalko 7/2, Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Best effort in this sphere when winning 6-runner handicap chase at this course (17.9f, heavy, 5/6) by ½ length from Carrolls Cottage. Remains with scope based on hurdling form and worth taking a chance on despite the long absence. Not seen since holding off Carrolls Cottage over 2m2f here in December; runs well fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (12/1 +25%) Politicise |
12/1(+25%) | (3) Politicise 12/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. Pulled up in handicap chase (13/2) at Aintree (19.9f, good to firm) 132 days ago, losing touch 5 out. No win for three years and best watched here after four months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (14/1 -40%) Ally Cay |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Ally Cay 14/1, Fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles. 10/1, fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Roscommon (21.3f, soft) 31 days ago. Down in trip. Little impression in her first two races over fences; well held in fifth on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (13/2 +90%) Ventnor |
13/2(+90%) | (11) Ventnor 13/2, Remains a maiden after 21 NH runs. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) 5 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. 29-race maiden and a big ask here from 5lb out of the handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (10/1 -264%) Croi Corcra |
10/1(-264%) | (6) Croi Corcra 10/1, 15/2, career best when winning 14-runner novice chase at Tramore (21.7f, heavy) 14 days ago, easily. Back down in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. On the upgrade and should go well again. Drop back in trip not guaranteed to suit but comes here in form and looks a contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (33/1 -175%) Toofareastiswest |
33/1(-175%) | (1) Toofareastiswest 33/1, Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. First run since leaving Eoghan O'Grady when sixth of 8 in novice chase (12/1) at Cork (17.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Well beaten in a novice chase at Cork 11 days ago after a break of 17 months; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (10/1 +29%) Made In The Woods |
10/1(+29%) | (9) Made In The Woods 10/1, Winner in chase at Limerick in March. 11/8, seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, soft). Off 6 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back down in trip. Not seen since April and might need the run but could make a bold bid from the front. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (25/1 +38%) Astrophysicist |
25/1(+38%) | (10) Astrophysicist 25/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Modest winner at 10f on flat. 12/1, last of 10 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, heavy) 14 days ago. Well beaten in two runs this month and looks a most unlikely player. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CROI CORCRA takes a significant drop in trip here but may be worth siding with as she comes here in fine form after an impressive win at Tramore a fortnight ago. The Soldier Of Fortune mare settled things in good style then, recording a seven-length success, and around a more galloping track she may have the gears to operate at this trip. Womalko was a winner here when last seen in December of last year. He has to be respected despite returning from a lengthy enough absence. Carrolls Cottage was pulled up when last seen here in April but has slid to an attractive mark and is one to note on his return.
WOMALKO was on the resurgence when last seen 10 months ago and he's still well treated based on hurdling efforts, so he gets the nod over Croi Corcra, who arrives on the up. Midnight It Is also merits respect.
A chance is taken that WOMALKO will be fit enough to land this after almost 11 months off

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.
