The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MIGHTY MO MISSOURI sets the standard here off a mark of 116 and can get his head in front. This is a drop in class now after he weakened tamely in the 'Boodles' at Cheltenham last month. He had been runner-up on his previous couple of outings and a repeat of that form would be enough to score now. Calico is becoming a touch frustrating and was turned over at a short price here last time. She is sure to be thereabouts again. Samadabad shaped with plenty of promise on his jumping debut when third at Navan and with natural improvement could be a big player now.
French Flat winner SAMADABAD shaped with plenty of promise whe third on his hurdles debut at Navan and, with improvement on the cards, he could be the answer. Mighty Mo Missouri was well held at the Cheltenham Festival but sets the standard back in maiden company judged on his solid placed efforts at Naas and Gowran. He is feared most ahead of Calico and Luminous Light.
Preference is for MIGHTY MO MISSOURI who sets the standard on his narrow defeats at Naas and Gowran

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
KNOCKANARD LADY has an official mark of 114 and looks capable of landing a race of this standard. She has contested Grade 3 races on her last couple of outings and although beaten a fair way when third at Limerick she wasn't that far away at Thurles previously when filling the same position behind Sa Fureur. This is a significant drop in class now. All About Lucy has also been third on her last couple of runs, in maiden hurdles, and she looks an obvious danger now. It didn't look the strongest event in which Knockraha Lass chased home Battle It Out here last time but she is another for the shortlist.
This looks ripe for KNOCKANARD LADY, who failed to put her best foot forward in a Grade 3 contest at Limerick last time but wasn't beaten far in that grade on her penultimate start and she should prove too good for these rivals. Knockraha Lass and Roccos Inspiration both hold solid each-way claims but Bobbisilver, who landed a maiden point last month, may emerge as the main danger on her Rules debut.
This is a good opportunity for the consistent KNOCKANARD LADY for whom trip and ground will not be a problem

1st (3) (1/1 +28%) Mister Policeman |
1/1(+28%) | (3) Mister Policeman 1/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Won 13-runner juvenile hurdle (2/1) at Fontainebleau (17.6f, soft). Off 12 months ahead of this debut for new yard but he's completely unexposed and the market should be revealing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 -20%) Cash Back |
6/1(-20%) | (1) Cash Back 6/1, Smart hurdler. Creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Naas (19f, soft) 28 days ago. Likely to be on the premises, albeit perhaps vulnerable for win purposes. Yard also saddles Mister Policeman. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (2.5/1 +58%) Sole Pretender |
2.5/1(+58%) | (8) Sole Pretender 2.5/1, Smart hurdler. 7/2, respectable 13¼ lengths third of 6 to Flame Bearer in Gr 3 chase at Thurles (18f, soft) 22 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Switches from chase to hurdles. Solid claims. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (4/1 -45%) Fils D'oudairies |
4/1(-45%) | (2) Fils D'oudairies 4/1, Smart hurdler. Didn't need to improve to win 5-runner minor event hurdle (4/1) at Leopardstown (18.3f, good) 35 days ago, easing clear. Merits consideration. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (14/1 -40%) Cask Mate |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Cask Mate 14/1, Useful hurdler. 33/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f). Switches from Flat to hurdles. Others preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

7th (6) (80/1 -100%) Djingle |
80/1(-100%) | (6) Djingle 80/1, Useful chaser. Pulled up in New Year's Day Chase (22/1) at Tramore (21.4f, heavy) when last seen over 2 years ago. Switches from chase to hurdles and down in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (125/1 +38%) Patience Patience |
125/1(+38%) | (7) Patience Patience 125/1, Fair chaser. C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in novice chase (125/1) at Galway (18.2f, good) on debut over fences. Off 8 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Uphill task. |

FILS D'OUDAIRIES bounced back to form when scoring at Leopardstown last month and may be able to follow up here. The Saint des Saints gelding had some very smart form in valuable handicaps and was good when beating Saint Sam by a cosy three-and-a-half lengths last time. A similar performance may be enough to score again. Cash Back doesn't have much to find at the weights and looks an obvious danger. He ran well in handicap company at Naas on his last outing and is a smart horse on his day. The dark horse in the field is his stablemate Mister Policeman, who makes his first start for Willie Mullins now having cost 120,000 euros at the sales just over a year ago. The five-year-old was impressive when winning over hurdles at Fontainebleau last March.
The eyes are immediately drawn to the unknown quantity MISTER POLICEMAN, who did the job well when winning the second of his two starts in juvenile hurdles in France last spring and has since joined the all-powerful Willie Mullins yard. It goes without saying that confidence behind the 5-y-o in the betting would look significant. He will need to be pretty decent in order to topple established smart performers Sole Pretender and Fils D'oudairies, though (feared most in that order of preference).
The race conditions look ideal for SOLE PRETENDER(nap) on his return from chasing and he should take all the beating

2nd (5) (1.62/1 -47%) Largy Debut |
1.62/1(-47%) | (5) Largy Debut 1.62/1, Useful chaser. Second of 3 in novice chase at Gowran (16f, heavy, 4/1) 73 days ago. Back up in trip and bold bid expected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4.5/1(-29%) | (7) Where It All Began 4.5/1, Fairly useful chaser. Very good second of 6 in novice chase at Wexford (25.4f, good to soft, 7/4) 35 days ago. Back down in trip. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LARGY DEBUT looks the one to beat here. The Shirocco gelding has been placed in his four outings over fences and this is his easiest task to date. He was no match for Sir Gerhard at Gowran when last seen in January and had also been placed behind Mighty Potter earlier in the campaign on his chase debut. Aione was weakening when falling in the Leinster National at Naas last time but has some solid form over fences, with a mark of 126, and could be a player back in beginners company. Where It All Began ran a solid race when chasing home Mercury Lane at Wexford last month but probably has a bit to find with the aforementioned pair on that form.
A winner over hurdles here last term, LARGY DEBUT has kept good company since switched to fences, contesting maiden chases won by the likes of Gentlemansgame, Mighty Potter and Sir Gerhard, and this represents a golden opportunity for the 8-y-o to open his account in this sphere. Changing The Rules wouldn't be without an each-way chance if taking to this game but clear second choice is Where It All Began, who stepped up on his chase debut effort when second at Wexford last month.
Second in this last year, Aione is getting on but, if restored to his best, is capable of beating the unconvincing Largy Debut

1st (2) (1.5/1 -36%) Bachasson |
1.5/1(-36%) | (2) Bachasson 1.5/1, Very smart chaser. Didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner minor event chase at Clonmel (19.9f, heavy, 4/7) 19 days ago, soon clear. Well worth another try over this sort of trip and he's the one to beat. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (1.75/1 +50%) Feronily |
1.75/1(+50%) | (4) Feronily 1.75/1, Lightly-raced winner under Rules. 1/6, career best when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft) 14 days ago, pushed out. Successful sole start between the flags and he's a fascinating contender on debut over fences. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Chacun Pour Soi |
3.33/1(-11%) | (1) Chacun Pour Soi 3.33/1, Top-class chaser. Eight wins from 16 NH runs. 40/1, 28½ lengths last of 9 to Envoi Allen in Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 24 days ago. This is less taxing but stamina to prove over this new trip and, in any case, he faces no easy task in conceding weight to stablemate Bachasson. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (12/1 -20%) Ronald Pump |
12/1(-20%) | (3) Ronald Pump 12/1, Useful chaser. Twenty runs since last win in 2019. Sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Warwick (25f, heavy) 85 days ago (found to be lame). Switches from hurdles to chase. Reproduction of his very best form would give him a fighting chance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (16/1 +52%) The Little Yank |
16/1(+52%) | (5) The Little Yank 16/1, Fairly useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Sligo in September. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap chase (16/1) at Naas (24.6f, soft) 28 days ago. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BACHASSON was very good on his return from a long absence at Clonmel last month and can bag another win here. Two-miles-six is as far as he's won over but it looks like going three miles shouldn't be an issue and the 12-year-old would appear to retain plenty of ability. Stablemate Chacun Pour Soi takes another step up in trip having failed to fire over two-and-a-half on his last couple of runs. The Policy Maker gelding was brilliant over the minimum trip a few years ago but hasn't run to that level this season and the trip would be a major worry here as he hasn't appeared to be getting home recently. Ronald Pump is one that will definitely see out this trip and it would be no surprise if he ran a big race. Feronily is a nice sort and it's interesting that connections pitch him in here for his chase debut. He faces some experienced and highly rated older rivals.
BACHASSON proved that plenty of ability remains intact when scoring on recent return from a two-year absence at Clonmel recently and, with this step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue, he should prove hard to beat. Judged on this season's evidence, stablemate Chacun Pour Soi is no longer at the peak of his powers and this trip represents a step into the unknown. As such, Feronily, who is clearly highly-regarded by connections, pitched into a Grade 3 for this chase debut, is feared most.
He's not proven over 3m but that's not enough of a concern to oppose BACHASSON who is bidding for his seventh win on the spin

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SPILLANE'S TOWER is a nice sort and he might not be badly treated here of a mark of 126 on his handicap debut. The Walk In The Park gelding was narrowly denied by a smart sort in Imagine at Wexford last October and that rival ran a big race in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last month. Jimmy Mangan's charge was a cosy winner of his maiden hurdle at Naas in February and looks open to further improvement. Lucky Max was narrowly denied in a competitive contest at Naas last month and has to be respected. He went up 4lb for his nose defeat to Carnfunnock and connections offset 2lb of that by putting up Corey McGivern this time. L'yser is another unexposed sort who has to come into calculations. He won a decent contest at Fairyhouse last time when the front two pulled well clear. Despite a 9lb hike he should be competitive again.
L'YSER and Spillane's Tower are both of strong interest given their progressive profiles. The latter made it third time lucky in a Navan maiden in February and is not passed over at all lightly now moving into a handicap but marginal preference is for L'yser, who displayed a willing attitude when scoring at Fairyhouse last time and this 9 lb higher mark will probably be within his reach. Flying Scotsman, Lucky Max, Rebel Ivy and West Cork Wildway all hold each-way claims in a competitive race.
On his return from chasing, there is plenty to like about WEST CORK WILDWAY who is in good form and has a 9lb pull over hurdles

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BETTER TIMES AHEAD got through testing conditions well in Navan last time and may be able to follow up here switching back to hurdles. The Walk In The Park gelding went up to a mark of 119 for his cosy win over fences last time so it's no surprise to see connections attempt to make use of an 11lb lower mark over timber now. Killinure Lass comes here on a hat-trick and has to be respected. She was value for a bit more than her winning margin here last time, over two-and-a-half miles. She went up another 6lb for that win but could still be on a competitive mark. Atlantian has been knocking on the door and despite creeping up a few pounds could get involved at the business end again here.
A much-deserved first taste of success beckons for ATLANTIAN, who has found just one too good on each of his last three starts and a 2 lb rise for his latest effort at Limerick is very fair indeed, given that he pulled well clear of the rest with the winner. He is unexposed as a stayer, too. Better Times Ahead is an obvious threat back hurdling having scored off just a 1 lb lower chase mark at Navan recently, while Atacanter is open to improvement and West Breeze is also accorded respect.
Plenty have chances, but slight preference is for ELSANNAH who was good value for her victory at Naas and an 8lb rise gives her a chance

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WILL DO has been placed in some strong bumpers over the winter and can get his head in front now. The Walk In The Park gelding was third to Cheltenham runner-up Fact To File at Leopardstown over Christmas and most recently chased home Tullyhill in Gowran. A repeat of any of his runs may be enough now. Willie Mullins introduces point-to-point runner-up The Ballyline Man and he commands respect. The Masterofthehorse gelding cost £100,000 after chasing home Captain Teague at Knockanard last February and the winner was third in the Cheltenham bumper last month. Answer To Kayf is another who was second on his sole point-to-point outing and the market may prove the best guide to his chances.
Willie Mullins' record in bumpers speaks for itself and THE BALLYLINE MAN is taken to provide the yard with yet another winner. He chased home Captain Teague in a maiden point last February, which represents strong form in light of the winner's excellent effort at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Will Do has shown more enough to suggest that he'll pick up a race before long but is probably up against a useful recruit in The Ballyline Man. Captain's Pick is worth a second look in the betting.
Willie Mullins will have a line on what is required to beat Will Do and THE BALLYLINE MAN is likely to be hard to beat

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.
