No match for a quality winner at Punchestown; with improvement can be more competitive now.

PURE STEEL shaped nicely here last month and can step forward now. The Yeats gelding finished fourth to a decent sort in Sky Lord on his track debut having won a point-to-point last March. That form looks strong with the winner finishing fourth in Grade 2 company since and the runner-up, Kappa Jy Pyke, winning at Punchestown on Sunday. Luker's Tipple looks like the obvious danger after finishing runner-up on his hurdling debut at Punchestown. Sean Mc, a half-brother to six-time winner Killiney Court, is a newcomer to note.

LUKER'S TIPPLE shaped with plenty of promise behind a useful prospect on his Punchestown hurdling debut recently and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to go one better. Pure Steel should improve on encouraging debut here last month and can give the selection most to think about ahead of newcomer Sean Mc.

With improvement to come from his pleasing course debut over hurdles, point winner PURE STEEL(nap) can get off the mark now.

1st (8) Wardens Whisper (6/4 +45%)
Wardens Whisper

1.5
6/4(+45%)
(8) Wardens Whisper 6/4, Good ½-length second of 13 to Liberated Light in handicap hurdle (7/2) at Limerick (16f, soft) 21 days ago. Has good chance on form.
Just behind Liberated Light at Limerick last time; 4lb better off today and can go well.
7
2nd (7) Crescent Moon (17/2 -55%)
Crescent Moon

8.5
17/2(-55%)
(7) Crescent Moon 17/2, Promising start when runner-up in a Naas bumper in April. Minor promise in trio of quick-fire maiden hurdles this winter and likely he's brought along with handicaps in mind. One to note for in-form stable.
Soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles but is surely capable of better; check the market.
2
3rd (2) Dumb Love (15/2 +6%)
Dumb Love

7.5
15/2(+6%)
(2) Dumb Love 15/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Winner in hurdle at Sedgefield in September. Creditable eighth of 19 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good) 22 days ago. Not dismissed out of hand.
Not a bad Leopardstown handicap effort last time but needs a more.
5
4th (5) Liberated Light (7/2 +0%)
Liberated Light

3.5
7/2(+0%)
(5) Liberated Light 7/2, 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) 21 days ago by ½ length from Wardens Whisper, crucially jumping better than is often the case. Little more required from revised mark, however.
Won a Limerick handicap over this trip last time; cheekpieces retained and has a shout.
11
5th (11) El Phenomeno (33/1 +0%)
El Phenomeno

33
33/1(+0%)
(11) El Phenomeno 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Limerick (21f, good to soft) 90 days ago, slow 4 out and dropping away quickly. Too soon to be writing him off but the market can likely prove a useful guide back from a break.
Pulled-up on handicap debut in October so others make much more appeal.
3
6th (3) Miss Maxfort (9/2 +44%)
Miss Maxfort

4.5
9/2(+44%)
(3) Miss Maxfort 9/2, Improved on hurdles debut form when winning 14-runner maiden at Wexford (16.5f) in October. Seemingly never figured when fourteenth of 19 on handicap hurdle debut at Leopardstown (16f, good, 9/1) 22 days ago but it remains early days with her. Hood on 1st time.
Wexford maiden hurdle winner but was well below that level in a Leopardstown handicap.

Walk Of The Roses

25
25/1(-79%)
(9) Walk Of The Roses 25/1, Fair winner at 2m in bumpers. 7/1, first run since leaving David Pipe when tenth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Plenty to find on form.
Beaten a long way on handicap/stable debut for this yard in November; has to bounce back.

8th (6) Bold Brook (16/1 -14%)
Bold Brook

16
16/1(-14%)
(6) Bold Brook 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 17/2, eleventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good to soft). First run for yard after leaving Cian Michael Collins. Makes handicap hurdle debut.
Ran respectably on first two hurdle starts for former yard; has to be ready after a break.
1
9th (1) Maroto (50/1 -100%)
Maroto

50
50/1(-100%)
(1) Maroto 50/1, Fair hurdler who was below form on first run since leaving W. P. Mullins when seventh of 8 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft) 19 days ago. Return to handicaps in her favour at least with a hood now reached for.
Well beaten in a novice on debut for this yard after racing keenly; hood added.
10
|PU| (10) Ben Purple (66/1 -32%)
Ben Purple

66
66/1(-32%)
(10) Ben Purple 66/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Pulled up in novice hurdle (150/1) at Limerick (19f, soft) 19 days ago, reminders early final circuit. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Risky proposition.
Not much encouragement from three maiden hurdles and others make much more appeal.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

WARDENS WHISPER may be able to turn the tables on Liberated Light. The Philip Rothwell-trained gelding went down by half a length to that rival at Limerick over Christmas and is now 4lb better off. He got caught in a pocket turning for home there and didn't help his rider by hanging right. Once he straightened up late on, he finished well and looks capable of striking off this mark. Liberated Light is entitled to be a big player again, despite his 6lb rise. Walk Of The Roses is capable of better than she showed on her Irish debut at Thurles and could get closer now.

WARDENS WHISPER finished a place behind Liberated Light when the pair met at Limerick 21 days ago, yet the latter doesn't boast consistency as his strong suit (also makes mistakes) so it could be worth chancing the former to reverse those placings here. Crescent Moon appeals as a likely improver now handicapping and could also feature.

Surely capable of better than his maiden hurdle showings, a chance is taken on CRESCENT MOON to get off the mark on h'cap debut

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

Not a strong maiden hurdle and AUTOPORTRAIT should prove hard to beat after a couple of solid placed efforts. The French import bumped into a nice looking sort in Goraibhmaithagat on his Irish debut in Navan and it also looked a hot contest in which he was third to Laafi at Limerick. He takes a big jump up in trip but it looks like a drop in class. The Story So Far sets the standard off his mark of 113. He ran well when chasing home Doitforjane in handicap company at Limerick. Masterboy Davis has been disappointing but might get closer in this company.

AUTOPORTRAIT holds standout claims on his efforts to date for Mouse Morris and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to open his account. The Story So Far can provide the lead threat, ahead of Masterboy Davis.

Though AUTOPORTRAIT is taking a marked step-up in trip, there is stamina in his French pedigree and he appeals as the likely winner.

This looks like a nice opportunity for CAST A SPELL. She ran well in a decent conditions race last time when third to Aurora Vega at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. The Mastercraftsman mare also run a solid race when fourth in handicap company off this mark at Navan previously and Cian Quirke is back on board to take off a useful 5lb. Ad Caelum comes here in fine form and looks an obvious danger. She has won two of her last three but has to defy an 8lb hike for her victory at Limerick. Deons Diamond has been running better over fences but could be place material here.

CAST A SPELL rates the pick of these weights on the back of her good Fairyhouse third so gets the vote. In-form Slim Marvel is next on the list ahead of Ad Caelum and Gers Gigi in this competitive handicap.

With improvement likely from her return over fences at Fairyhouse last time, DEONS DIAMOND could get the job done today.

MIGHTY OAK LAD has gained good experience in handicap company and looks up to winning one of these restricted beginners chases now. The Doyen gelding kept on without troubling the front two when third to Individualiste at Navan last month and this is a nice race for him, for horses rated 100 or less over hurdles. John The Diva ran well in a similar contest at Tramore, when third on his chase debut, and looks like an obvious danger. The Charles Byrnes-trained On Your Way has shown glimpses of ability over timber and is one to note on his chasing bow.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and MIGHTY OAK LAD looks the way to go on the back of his excellent Navan handicap third last time out. John The Diva shaped well on his first go over fences when third at Tramore and rates the main threat to Karl Thornton's 7-y-o, while chasing newcomers On Your Way and Jay Pee M also need factoring in, especially if the market speaks in their favour.

Not far off the best of these over hurdles, JOHN THE DIVA made a competent chasing and seasonal debut at Tramore and can collect now

ROLLY BOWLEY BOY ran into a progressive rival in Folly Master at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and may get his turn now. The Carlotamix gelding made a bold bid from the front there and despite getting 3lb for that effort, he is capable of landing a race of this standard. Global Export comes here in winning form and has to be respected. The Golden Horn gelding got up late on to win his beginners chase at Down Royal and should be competitive off this mark of 118. Top-weight Street Value is tried in blinkers and may be capable of better now down in grade over fences.

GLOBAL EXPORT showed improved form to get off the mark in this sphere at Down Royal 3 weeks ago and he appeals as the type who'll do better again now handicapping. Rolly Bowley Boy made a promising start for this yard when runner-up at Punchestown on his return last month and rates a big threat.

With 7lb claimed ROLLY BOWLEY BOY, a five-time runner-up over fences, is taken to score on his second outing for Philip Rothwell

ADELA ICON is obviously interesting here on her first start for Willie Mullins. The Snow Sky mare was runner-up in a couple of bumpers back in the summer of 2023 for Harry Kelly. Temple Bloodstock's Aubrey McMahon has done well with his purchases in recent seasons. Lau And Shaz has strong recent form and rates the main danger. Gavin Cromwell's charge was a promising fifth on her hurdling debut last time, having been placed in two bumpers previously. Former Flame was also placed in two bumpers, towards the start of the season, and has to come into calculations.

LAU AND SHAZ was placed in a couple of bumpers before making an encouraging debut over hurdles at Naas last month and shades the vote over Adela Icon, who's coming back from an absence on his first start for Wille Mullins.

It could pay to gamble on the ability of UFOURIA to improve considerably from a comeback run at Limerick. Her 2023 debut was promising

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.
