---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (13/8 +28%) Farren Glory |
13/8(+28%) | (1) Farren Glory 13/8, Useful winner at 2m in bumpers. Set a stiff task and never figured when midfield in Fairyhouse Grade 2 on hurdles debut back in April. However, no surprise to see him do better with his sights lowered here. Form of Navan bumper win reads well, ran in a Grade 2 hurdle at Fairyhouse, good prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (13/8 -47%) Irish Panther |
13/8(-47%) | (9) Irish Panther 13/8, Runner-up only start in points and he displayed useful form in making the frame all 3 starts in bumpers last term, very good second of 18 at Punchestown (18f) in April. Exciting hurdles prospect. Placed on all three bumper starts, capable of making his presence felt on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (6/1 -71%) Implicit |
6/1(-71%) | (17) Implicit 6/1, Authorized mare. Half-sister to fairly useful 19f hurdle winner/useful staying chaser Full Back and French 2¼m hurdle winner Dimana. Noteworthy newcomer for leading outfit. Half-sister to useful stayer Full Back, only mare in the race, has to be taken seriously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (16/1 -60%) Power Hour |
16/1(-60%) | (14) Power Hour 16/1, Fair hurdler. Good third of 15 in novice hurdle (3/1) at this course (19.1f, soft) in May, going with enthusiasm and not quicken only final 100 yds. Each-way claims returning from 6 months off. Faces tougher opposition now than when third in a maiden hurdle at this venue in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (8/1 +76%) Ballybrack Wood |
8/1(+76%) | (2) Ballybrack Wood 8/1, €20,000 3-y-o, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam unraced sister to bumper winner/fairly useful hurdler (2m winner) Western Zephyr. Runner-up sole start in points (Nov 2022). Second in a maiden point at Dromahane 12 months ago, winner has scored over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (28/1 -27%) Doonbeg Don |
28/1(-27%) | (5) Doonbeg Don 28/1, Runner-up only start in points but proved disappointing when sixth of 9 in bumper at Cork (19f, soft) on Rules debut back in April. Still, not one to write off now attentions switch to hurdling on return. Second in a maiden point, low-key racecourse debut in a 2m3f bumper at Cork in April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (300/1 -20%) Imbolc |
300/1(-20%) | (8) Imbolc 300/1, Pulled up only start in points. Once-raced maiden under Rules. 40/1, fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.5f, soft) on NH debut 34 days ago. Pulled up on only point start, remote fourth of five finishers on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 +0%) Harveys Point |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Harveys Point 16/1, Getaway gelding. Strong in betting, offered plenty to work on when second of 8 in bumper at Limerick (2m) on debut back in December. Absent and has since left Gordon Elliott and interesting what the market makes of him now hurdling. Has left Gordon Elliott since good bumper run at Limerick last winter, trip should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (300/1 -20%) Carlas Big Jim |
300/1(-20%) | (4) Carlas Big Jim 300/1, Poor hurdler. 28/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24.2f, good to soft) 173 days ago, labouring early final circuit. Back down in trip. No apparent chance in a maiden judging by an official rating of 85, first run since May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (300/1 -20%) Knocknaconnery |
300/1(-20%) | (10) Knocknaconnery 300/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving P. F. McEnery when seventh of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (16.6f, heavy, 150/1) on hurdles bow 14 days ago, struggling 3 out. Remote seventh in a bumper on only start last season, similar over hurdles on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (100/1 -52%) Flemens Intrest |
100/1(-52%) | (6) Flemens Intrest 100/1, Flemensfirth gelding. Brother to useful hurdler/smart chaser Beshabar. Dam unraced. Off mark in points at second attempt (Apr 16). This looks a warm enough race on Rules/hurdles debut. Won a maiden for older horses at Dromahane in May, vulnerable against younger rivals.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (300/1 -20%) Rising Dust |
300/1(-20%) | (15) Rising Dust 300/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 80/1, seventh of 9 in bumper at Sligo (18f, soft) 13 days ago. Passed over returned to timber on what he's achieved to date. Has struggled in two maiden hurdle outings, similar in a bumper at Sligo last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (250/1 -25%) Oogum Boogum |
250/1(-25%) | (12) Oogum Boogum 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 33/1) on NH debut 50 days ago, never better than midfield. Up in trip now but he rates a likely longer-term project. Hinted at ability first time out at Listowel but will probably need more experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (16) (300/1 -20%) Val Rapide |
300/1(-20%) | (16) Val Rapide 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.5f, soft) 34 days ago, badly hampered fifth and never involved. Can only be watched. Unseated at first on debut at Gowran, remote last of five finishers at Downpatrick 100/1. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (11/1 +39%) Noble Talent |
11/1(+39%) | (11) Noble Talent 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 9/2, creditable third of 6 in bumper at this course (16.8f, heavy) 42 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Appears to be improving on the evidence of placings in bumpers at Listowel and this venue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (300/1 -20%) Baltoro |
300/1(-20%) | (3) Baltoro 300/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1, fifteenth of 17 in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.2f, heavy) 40 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time, cheekpieces on for 1st time. No merit in his bumper or maiden hurdle form so far, tongue-tie and cheekpieces tried now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (300/1 -20%) Open The Gate |
300/1(-20%) | (13) Open The Gate 300/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Unseated rider in novice hurdle at Down Royal (20f, good, 25/1). Off 14 months. First run for yard after leaving Peter Fahey. Showed little in five outings for Peter Fahey; best watched on first start for this stable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
IRISH PANTHER, who was placed on all three bumper runs last season, may be good enough to make a winning debut over hurdles. A former point-to-point runner-up, the Edward O'Grady-trained gelding ran a big race on his rules debut at Leopardstown last Christmas before failing to justify favouritism on his next start. However, in hindsight, that Punchestown third worked out quite well. Power Hour, who holds a handicap rating of 109, sets the standard. The Ocovango gelding has acquired invaluable experience in four starts, which includes two placings. Harveys Point, runner-up on his only appearance to date, has to be of interest on his first start for trainer Colm Murphy. Any market support for the five-year-old should be noted.
IRISH PANTHER showed useful form when making the frame on all 3 starts in bumpers last term, runner-up at Punchestown when last seen in April. He's very much of interest now hurdling and shades the vote to come out on top. Newcomer Implicit makes plenty of appeal on paper starting out for her leading yard and she has to be of interest, with Farren Glory and Harveys Point another couple to note.
It looks significant that FARREN GLORY was introduced to hurdling in a Grade 2 event after a Navan bumper win. He can win a maiden now

A dual point' winner from 9 starts in that sphere; has to step up making hurdles debut. |

16/1(-220%) | (11) Pampar Lady 16/1, Modest hurdler. Fell in novice hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, soft, 14/1) 21 days ago might have been placed. Was 2nd on hurdling debut and was still in with a chance when fell two out at Thurles. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Although her bumper form has only been average, PAMPAR LADY has shown a great deal more on two starts over hurdles. Runner-up on her initial attempt at Listowel in September, the Gavin Cromwell-trained mare was in the process of running another good race when coming to grief two out at Thurles last time. Purse Price has plenty of experience over flights at this stage but is limited so will always be vulnerable at this level. The Passing Glance six-year-old should get her head in front at some stage but it is hard to be confident in her chances. Any Road showed enough in six bumper runs to suggest he can also win races. The Edward O'Grady-trained gelding makes his jumping debut here but is sure to have been well schooled.
THEATRE NATIVE made a promising start to her career under Rules when fourth in a listed bumper at Fairyhouse and she's taken to make a winning start over hurdles. Any Road is respected on his bumper form, while Purse Price is the clear pick on her best hurdles form.
Very unlucky not to win a point-to-point, THEATRE NATIVE ran a fine race in a Listed bumper on rules bow and can take this.

9/2(+25%) | (4) Stuzzikini 9/2, Winner in hurdle at Kilbeggan in April. Creditable second of 8 in novice hurdle (10/3) at Galway (20.7f, heavy) 11 days ago. Merits consideration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (7/1 -17%) Angels Dawn |
7/1(-17%) | (8) Angels Dawn 7/1, 9/1, below form sixth of 27 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (29f, soft), travelling strongly. Off 7 months. Potentially well treated in this sphere but likely to need the run. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (6/1 +0%) Whatsavailable |
6/1(+0%) | (7) Whatsavailable 6/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, 2½ lengths second of 7 to Castle Field Boy in handicap hurdle at this course (24.2f, heavy, 13/2) 14 days ago. May be capable of turning the tables. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (80/1 -344%) The Big Galloper |
80/1(-344%) | (6) The Big Galloper 80/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle (17/2) at Musselburgh (23.8f, soft). Off 21 months. Warrants a market check. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|PU| (1) (12/1 +45%) Plains Indian |

25/1(+38%) | (2) Bois De Clamart 25/1, Fourth of 6 in minor event hurdle (66/1) at Sligo (17.5f, soft) 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Plenty to find on form. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

33/1(+50%) | (9) Fully Charged 33/1, 33/1, sixteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23f, good) 30 days ago. Yard having good spell. Others more persuasive. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
C&D winner CASTLE FIELD BOY can continue on his upward curve by adding a third career success. Patrick Foley's lightly raced seven-year-old has proved hugely consistent since finishing third in a maiden hurdle at this venue in February. Improving as he has stepped up in trip, the Scorpion gelding has more scope than any of his rivals. Angels Dawn is obviously very well treated over hurdles but may just need this reappearance run. However, depending on how forward the Sam Curling-trained mare is, she could be involved. The betting market should provide the best guide as to her chances. Whatsavailable, runner-up on both previous starts at this track, won't be far away for local trainer Mouse Morris.
WHATSAVAILABLE and Castle Field Boy filled the first two positions here last time and they might dominate this race, with the first-named marginally preferred. Stuzzikini arrives on the back of a good second in a Galway novice, so he's also likely to feature.
Impressive when beating Whatsavailable over C&D on his return last time, CASTLE FIELD BOY could be improving enough to win again.

1st (1) (8/11 +42%) Allegorie De Vassy |
8/11(+42%) | (1) Allegorie De Vassy 8/11, Smart chaser. 10/3, respectable 17½ lengths third of 6 to Impervious in Gr 2 chase at Punchestown (21f, good to soft), not knocked about. Should make her presence felt. Two Grade 2 wins and 2nd in Paddy Power Chase at Chelt'; goes well fresh and respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (3/1 +0%) Instit |
3/1(+0%) | (4) Instit 3/1, Useful chaser. 24/10, bit below form 3 lengths sixth of 10 to Impulse Precieuse in listed hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft) 173 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and hood back on. Paul Townend prefers Allegorie de Vassy. Beat Allegorie de Vassy once last season; gets plenty of weight here, so give her a race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (66/1 -65%) Regina Dracones |
66/1(-65%) | (3) Regina Dracones 66/1, Fairly useful chaser. Course winner. Pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (31f, good to soft, 25/1) when last seen 6 months ago. Significantly down in trip here and she's passed over. Three-time chase winner but was regressive last season; can't be fancied in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/4 -69%) Maskada |
11/4(-69%) | (2) Maskada 11/4, Smart chaser. Career best when winning 19-runner Grand Annual (22/1) at the Cheltenham Festival (15.9f, good to soft) in March, forging clear. Very much the one to beat on that evidence. Won the Grand Annual Chase at Cheltenham; this first outing since but can run a big race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (150/1 +0%) Hazelhatch Lady |
150/1(+0%) | (5) Hazelhatch Lady 150/1, Fair hurdler. 80/1, 36¾ lengths fifth of 6 to Hercule Du Seuil in Buck House Novices' Chase at Punchestown (18.2f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Looks set for another struggle. Beaten a long way in Grade 3 novice chase company the last twice and can't be fancied. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
There are reasons for opposing ALLEGORIE DE VASSY but it is hoped she can return to her best. Ideally suited by testing conditions, she won two Grade 2s impressively and finished second at Cheltenham in March but disappointed subsequently at Fairyhouse and Punchestown when comfortably beaten by Instit, which now receives more weight. However, on best form, she has the beating of Instit on a line through her Cheltenham conqueror Impervious and it is also notable Paul Townend prefers her. Instit herself finished last season with a sixth-placed finish in a Listed Auteuil Hurdle, when beaten 3.25 lengths. Maskada won Cheltenham's Grand Annual Chase, has winning form on heavy and receives 10lb from the selection which gives her strong claims on ratings, despite stepping out of handicap company for the first time since a Grade 1 fourth placing in April 2022. Regina Dracones needs to improve while Hazelhatch Lady continues in her elusive black-type quest.
MASKADA signed off last season with a decisive success in the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival and she will prove hard to beat if fully tuned-up for this assignment. Paul Townend sides with Allegorie de Vassy ahead of stablemate Instit, and the Willie Mullins-trained duo are feared most.
Getting 10lb from Allegorie de Vassy, despite being rated equally, makes MASKADA the one to beat.

1st (2) (1/4 +43%) Allaho |
1/4(+43%) | (2) Allaho 1/4, Front-runner who posted some outstanding efforts when last seen in spring 2022, demolishing his rivals for a second successive Ryanair at Cheltenham (20.5f) before routing a strong field in the 3m Punchestown Gold Cup. Will dominate here if anywhere near his best after an 18-month lay-off. Dual winner of the Ryanair Chase, 3m Grade 1 winner when last seen, good starting-point. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (3/1 +45%) Janidil |
3/1(+45%) | (1) Janidil 3/1, High-class chaser. Six wins from 19 NH runs. Latest win in chase at Gowran in February. Off since falling at the last when in control of a Fairyhouse Grade 2 in April. No match for Allaho in 2022 Ryanair, unlucky not to end last season on a winning note. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (33/1 +34%) Grange Walk |
33/1(+34%) | (4) Grange Walk 33/1, Useful chaser. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, soft, 14/1) 4 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip. Rated 143, leaving him with a lot to do against these three rivals, best at around 2m. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This race is a gem and returning ALLAHO might add his name to the list of illustrious winners. A dual winner of Cheltenham's Ryanair Chase and rated a whopping 177 following his April 2022 Punchestown Chase romp, a rare spleen injury resulted in him missing last season. However, it is encouraging he returns for a race which has been a target for some time and receives a 5lb 'welcoming present' from Janidil, who despite being a Grade 1 winner and suited by conditions, lacks star qualities. French Dynamite was beaten 5.75 lengths into fourth in March's Ryanair Chase before being beaten at Aintree and having failed to place in seven Grade 1s, will struggle to beat an on-song selection. Grange Walk is race-fit but faces a huge task.
A race which revolves around ALLAHO, who will be a cut above these if still anything like the force of old after his absence. His stablemate Janidil is the one likely to profit should the selection fail to deliver.
Having had such a long time off, Allaho could be vulnerable and it may be worth taking a chance on FRENCH DYNAMITE

25/1(-651%) | (3) Aodhan May 25/1, Winner in chase at Wexford in March. 15/2, ran no sort of race having been easy to back when pulled up in handicap chase at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) 6 months ago.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The lightly-raced KINGS HALO's form was a little in-and-out last season but will benefit from a recent reappearance run and looks nicely treated. Well suited by testing ground and this distance, he has useful handicap chase form, steps up in distance from Killarney and is rated 6lb lower in this sphere than over hurdles. Aodhan May was pulled up at Tramore when last seen in April but likes heavy ground and is capable at this level. Go Battle ran well at Thurles last month but disappointed at that venue just last week. Mastermacblack makes his handicap chase debut and has bits of form while Everystep Oftheway debuts over fences and has some hurdles form. Barbaha Queen finished second here two runs ago while Legacy Of Dream's best form is on a sound surface. Evies Vladimir returns from a 517-day layoff.
KINGS HALO should be all the sharper for his recent spin over hurdles, so James Dullea's 8-y-o is taken to break his duck over the larger obstacles at the expense of Aodhan May, who needs to shrug off a lesser effort when last seen 6 months ago at Tramore. Mastermacblack and Barbaha Queen can do battle for third spot.
With last month's hurdles run under his belt, KINGS HALO may be able to take advantage of his lower chase mark in a weak handicap

4/6(+46%) | (2) Foreverwalking 4/6, €70,000 3-y-o, €160,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding from family of Sizing Europe. Point winner in April 2022. Obvious claims for top yard back from an absence. Point winner on debut at Quakerstown in April 2022, stable 35-65 in bumpers this season. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FOREVERWALKING won a point-to-point in April 2022 for Pat Doyle and reappears for Willie Mullins. From the family of Sizing Europe, he was bought for E160,000 following his soft-ground point - from which the runner-up and a final-fence-faller (when lying third) subsequently won UK hurdles. He didn't run last season but will be mature and represents formidable connections. Rainbow Trail has a similar profile, having been bought for 220,000 pounds (from Donnchadh Doyle) following his pointing runner-up effort behind hurdles winner Mint Boy in December. He was withdrawn from two April bumpers due to 'unsuitable ground' and it is notable connections opt for another bumpers with his rider claiming 7lb. Workinonadream, out of a half-sister to Weapons Amnesty, ran with promise on Kilbeggan debut but faces potentially smart types on differing ground. Shesakindofmagic is a half-sister to two winners, one being a bumper winner, and Derek O'Connor is a notable booking, while John Gleeson rides The Night Agent which is related to capable types. The Story So Far is a half-brother to useful jumper Champagne Court.
This can go to a newcomer, with FOREVERWALKING chanced over Rainbow Trail and Shesakindofmagic before any betting clues. Workinonadream sets the standard on her Kilbeggan second but is probably vulnerable.
It has been a long wait for FOREVERWALKING to get to the track but this former Pat Doyle-trained point winner should be good enough

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.
