13:45 Downpatrick 21f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (4/7 +52%) Toad Hall	0.571429 4/7(+52%)	(8) Toad Hall 4/7, Runner-up only start in bumpers in 2023 and highly encouraging run back from 2 years off when filling same spot in 10-runner maiden hurdle at Punchestown (20.1f) 5 weeks ago. Rates a likely improver for leading stable and he merits serious consideration. Recent comeback second makes him the one to beat if handling quicker ground.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +18%) Quantum Quest	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(5) Quantum Quest 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, good to soft, 11/1) 27 days ago. Stable having good spell. Merits consideration on pick of form. Definite promise in 2m4f maidens but 6l to find with Arabian Diamond on Leopardstown run.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 +25%) Game On	6 6/1(+25%)	(3) Game On 6/1, Jack Hobbs gelding who left hurdling debut form a long way behind when second of 16 in novice hurdle (8/1) at Thurles (15.6f, good) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he may do better again. Thurles second encouraging; step up in trip should suit too.
4	11 4th (11) (250/1 -279%) Seven Towns	250 250/1(-279%)	(11) Seven Towns 250/1, Poet's Word gelding. Dam 1¼m winner. Likely outsider on racecourse bow. Newcomer best watched.
5th	7 5th (7) (33/1 -65%) Savant Du Mesnil	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Savant Du Mesnil 33/1, Doctor Dino gelding who stepped up on his hurdles debut form when sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 13 days ago. Will have handicaps as an option after this and percentage call to look elsewhere. Likely to need more time and appears the owner's second string here behind Quantum Quest.
6th	10 6th (10) (200/1 -400%) Having A Cut	200 200/1(-400%)	(10) Having A Cut 200/1, €10,000 3-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Princely Player and useful chaser Kings Temptation. Dam 1½m winner on Flat in France. Debutant 4yo likely all the better for the experience.
7th	6 7th (6) (150/1 +0%) Retreat Archie	150 150/1(+0%)	(6) Retreat Archie 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, twelfth of 15 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.5f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Low-grade handicaps will be more his bag. Return to better ground should suit but lots to find.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (4/1 -60%) Arabian Diamond	4 4/1(-60%)	(1) Arabian Diamond 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler who ran creditably on the back of 7 months off when third of 12 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, good to soft, 5/1) 27 days ago. May be sharper with that run under his belt and fancied to be in the mix. Likes this decent ground and 120-rated 7yo sure to be thereabouts.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (50/1 0%) There's Always One	50 50/1(0%)	(9) There's Always One 50/1, Kingston Hill mare. Dam (h67), lightly raced over jumps, sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 21f) Riders Onthe Storm. Wears tongue strap. Well-related mare but likely best watched here on debut.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (80/1 -142%) Quality Control	80 80/1(-142%)	(4) Quality Control 80/1, Once-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in novice hurdle (14/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) on NH debut 36 days ago, tailed off. Significantly up in trip. Never counted on Fairyhouse debut last month when stable neglected; watching brief advised.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (150/1 -200%) All Eyez On Me	150 150/1(-200%)	(2) All Eyez On Me 150/1, Jack Hobbs gelding who failed to complete all 3 starts between the flags and offered little when sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, good) on Rules debut 122 days ago. Passed over. Faded quite tamely on hurdles debut at Thurles in November; best watched for now.

TOAD HALL has clearly had training issues but has nonetheless run two solid races in his career to date. He made a belated debut as a six-year-old when second in a Clonmel bumper and, while he was then absent for 690 days, chased home a subsequent Grade 3 winner at Punchestown last month. A reproduction of that form would see him difficult to beat and he readily holds Game On on that form, although that rival showed more at Thurles recently. Arabian Diamond will be suited by drying ground.

TOAD HALL produced a highly promising effort on the back a near 2-year absence when runner-up on hurdles debut at Punchestown 5 weeks ago and, with improvement on the cards, he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better. Arabian Diamond and Quantum Quest can give Willie Mullins' 8-y-o most to think about.

Providing he handles this quicker ground TOAD HALL looks the one to beat on the back of a fine comeback run last month

14:20 Downpatrick 21f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +25%) Seskin Flash	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(2) Seskin Flash 5/2, Well-backed on stable debut when fourth of 19 in handicap hurdle (9/5) at Naas (16f, soft) 21 days ago, hindered by a bad mistake 2 out. Interesting in first-time hood stepping back up in trip. Bit onepaced beaten favourite over 2m on recent yard debut; returns to longer trip now.
2	11 2nd (11) (14/1 +0%) Our Zebo	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Our Zebo 14/1, Maiden hurdler/chaser who was below form when sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f, good to soft) before disappointing at Ayr following a further 12-weeks off. First-time blinkers need to spark a revival. Pulled up recently at Ayr when not without market support; blinkers replace cheekpieces.
3	6 3rd (6) (4/1 -14%) Cher Tara	4 4/1(-14%)	(6) Cher Tara 4/1, Ex-Dan Skelton, confirmed promise of stable debut back up in trip when winning 19-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20f, good) 13 days ago. Should be suited by this longer trip and further improvement anticipated from this lightly-raced mare. Saw it out well to win over 2m4f at Down Royal; should stay and could cope with 8lb rise.
4	1 4th (1) (20/1 -150%) Kalsman	20 20/1(-150%)	(1) Kalsman 20/1, Upped in trip and off the mark when landing a 15-runner handicap hurdle over C&D when last seen in June 2024. Not ruled out if ready to roll after a 9-month absence. C&D winner last June when last seen; 8lb higher on return.
5th	12 5th (12) (5/1 +9%) Coco Lightning	5 5/1(+9%)	(12) Coco Lightning 5/1, Took a step back in the right direction when third of 15 in 2½m Fairyhouse handicap hurdle on stable debut but failed to justify market support when sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 58 days ago. Looks worth another chance. Fairyhouse third gives her claims although lifeless Catterick run since is worrying.
6th	8 6th (8) (15/2 +38%) Ilbdare	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(8) Ilbdare 15/2, Placed effort at Sligo (19.9f) remains a standout effort over hurdles, well below that form when seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.1f, heavy, 18/1) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces added and needs to improve. Heavy ground wouldn't have been ideal on recent return; cheekpieces tried.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +20%) Voice Of Reason	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Voice Of Reason 16/1, Seems to be going through the motions at present, again ran poorly when twelfth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 21 days ago. Upped in trip but has something to prove at present. Softer ground probably hasn't suited of late so potential improver back on better ground.
8th	13 8th (13) (10/1 +0%) Doyen Flyer	10 10/1(+0%)	(13) Doyen Flyer 10/1, Has become inconsistent and remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. Fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.4f, good to soft, 5/1) on debut over fences 10 days ago. Switches back to hurdles and not dismissed if on a going day. Longstanding maiden can't be ruled out but hard to be confident in.
9th	4 9th (4) (22/1 +33%) Peckham Springs	22 22/1(+33%)	(4) Peckham Springs 22/1, Course winner has lost his form, latest effort when tenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 40/1) 28 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. On a long losing run and hard to fancy but handicapper is giving him every chance.
10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 -100%) Fire Force	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Fire Force 66/1, Some promise in maiden hurdles but disappointed on handicap debut. Didn't take to chasing, last of 11 in novice chase (250/1) at Fairyhouse (21.2f, good to soft) 53 days ago on final run Ciaran Murphy. Questions to answer now reverted to hurdles on stable debut. Low-grade maiden hurdler and and nothing of note recently over fences; yard debut.
11th	9 11th (9) (16/1 -14%) Kilkee Royal	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Kilkee Royal 16/1, Hinted at ability in maiden hurdles/handicaps for Jamie Albert Sloan but fell on debut for this yard earlier this month. May find a couple too good in here. First-flight faller on recent return to action when tongue-tie tried on yard debut.
12th	14 12th (14) (80/1 -60%) Are We Dancing	80 80/1(-60%)	(14) Are We Dancing 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 13 days ago. Up in trip and cheekpieces on for first time on handicap hurdle debut. Needs more. 4yo can only be watched on handicap debut from 5lb out of handicap; cheekpieces tried.
13th	5 13th (5) (14/1 0%) Jimli's Cave	14 14/1(0%)	(5) Jimli's Cave 14/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle over C&D last October, responding well to positive tactics. Found life harder from a 7 lb higher mark next time and returns from a break racing off the same mark again. C&D winner in October off 7lb lower; excuses next time and back from a break.
14th	3 14th (3) (66/1 -200%) Caulaincourt	66 66/1(-200%)	(3) Caulaincourt 66/1, Fair winner at 12f on the Flat but made little impression on handicap hurdle debut when sixteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Improvement needed over longer trip. AW winner but underwhelming so far hurdling; bit to find.

SESKIN FLASH ran well in a big-field Cork handicap in December and while a beaten favourite on his debut for new connections earlier this month, that was his first run for 91 days and he wasn't beaten too far. Cher Tara won at Down Royal recently and should again compete stepping up in distance. Kalsman has been raised 8lb for winning a course-and-distance handicap last June and is also noted.

Gordon Elliott's lightly-raced CHER TARA may well have more to offer over this longer trip and she can follow up her recent Down Royal success. Coco Lightning shaped encouragingly on debut for this yard and is worth another chance after disappointing last time, while Seskin Flash looks interesting stepping back up in distance having been well supported on stable debut.

Recent Down Royal winner CHER TARA should cope with this longer trip and she is taken to defy an 8lb rise

14:55 Downpatrick 17f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (11/2 -10%) A Mere Bagatelle	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(8) A Mere Bagatelle 11/2, 10/1, ran well back over hurdles after 6 months off when second of 18 in handicap at Limerick (22.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Down in trip. Should be in the mix again. Just denied at Limerick; drop in trip probably not ideal but should give a bold showing.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +64%) Fool Me Once	4 4/1(+64%)	(2) Fool Me Once 4/1, 50/1, eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (18.9f, heavy) 31 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Worth another chance to improve on his maiden efforts. First run under rules on decent ground so potential improver in third handicap.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +40%) Chortal	6 6/1(+40%)	(6) Chortal 6/1, Hasn't gone on from his hurdling debut, well-beaten fifth of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Others more persuasive. 4yo should appreciate this better ground and one of the least exposed here.
4	7 4th (7) (6/1 +0%) Read To Return	6 6/1(+0%)	(7) Read To Return 6/1, One win from 22 NH runs. Underperformed when eighth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft, 17/2) just over 5 weeks ago, unable to sustain effort. Expected to be bang there back down in trip. Staying sort, drop in trip here hardly likely play to his strengths.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +27%) Gamigin	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Gamigin 4/1, Ran better than for a while after 8 weeks off when fourth of 17 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Needs to build on that now. Encouraging recent Leopardstown comeback run puts him in the mix.
6th	5 6th (5) (20/1 +0%) Burren Song	20 20/1(+0%)	(5) Burren Song 20/1, 40/1, ran to a similar level to last time after 3 months off when eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Others look stronger. Flat winner not as good a hurdler but better for recent run and don't rule out.
7th	4 7th (4) (28/1 -100%) Tankardstown Diva	28 28/1(-100%)	(4) Tankardstown Diva 28/1, Followed a good run with a poor one when pulled up in handicap chase at Navan (20.4f, heavy, 7/2) 29 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Bounce back needed. Hasn't convinced over fences of late; drops in trip on hurdles return with cheekpieces on.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 -150%) Ciao Adios	10 10/1(-150%)	(1) Ciao Adios 10/1, Showed improved form to get off the mark over jumps in 18-runner handicap hurdle (9/1) at Cork (16.7f, good to soft) 10 days ago, driven out. Hit with a 10 lb rise but remains unexposed in this sphere so could have more to offer. Relished better ground for recent Cork win; could have more to offer despite 10lb rise.
9th	10 9th (10) (12/1 -33%) Walk In The Sea	12 12/1(-33%)	(10) Walk In The Sea 12/1, 25/1, fared better than previously sent handicapping after 9 weeks off when sixth of 19 at Down Royal (20f, good) 13 days ago, every chance when badly hampered 3 out. Tongue strap back on. Looks competitive on form. Recent debut run not without promise; slightly shorter trip could suit too.
10th	11 10th (11) (7/1 +72%) I'm For Home	7 7/1(+72%)	(11) I'm For Home 7/1, Ran respectably without suggesting his turn is imminent when fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.1f, heavy, 11/1) 34 days ago. Can give another good account. Signs of return to form at Punchestown recently; 3lb wrong here however.
11th	9 11th (9) (18/1 -112%) Telnobody	18 18/1(-112%)	(9) Telnobody 18/1, Tailed-off fifth of 14 in maiden hurdle (250/1) at Fairyhouse (18.4f, good to soft) just over 11 weeks ago. Hooded for 1st time and appeals as the type to do better in handicaps. Jumping has been an issue in maidens; hooded on handicap debut and hard to be confident in.

GAMIGIN returned to form earlier this month and will be suited by the drying ground. The selection is a five-time winner who landed a gamble at Kilbeggan last August and a reproduction of his latest Leopardstown run would give him every chance in this winnable race. Three-time winner Ciao Adios won at Cork 10 days ago but has been raised 10lb. A Mere Bagatelle is rated 111 over fences and was narrowly beaten at Limerick recently, but isn't ideally suited by dropping back in distance.

This looks wide open, but A MERE BAGATELLE was narrowly denied back hurdling from 6 months off at Limerick earlier in the month and, with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, he's fancied to go one better at the expense of Read To Return, who underperformed at Fairyhouse last month but should find this easier dropped back in trip. Recent-winner Ciao Adios rounds off the shortlist.

Although a better chaser A MERE BAGATELLE could record a rare hurdles win here on the back of a narrow Limerick defeat

15:30 Downpatrick 21f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (4/1 +33%) Lilian Bland	4 4/1(+33%)	(9) Lilian Bland 4/1, Latest win in chase at Navan in March. 8/1, found only a less-exposed sort too good when second of 13 in handicap chase at Thurles (20.8f, good) 15 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Shortlist material in her current mood. Winning chaser, 0-16 over hurdles, ground versatile, lower mark over timber, place claims.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +0%) Joueuse Royale	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Joueuse Royale 9/2, 16/5, improved again when second of 14 in maiden hurdle at Thurles (15.6f, good to soft) 24 days ago, running on. Makes handicap debut and should have more to offer. Placed in points and maiden hurdles, fair mark, steps up in trip for h'cap bow, considered.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 +25%) Joya Del Mar	12 12/1(+25%)	(5) Joya Del Mar 12/1, Failed to build on the promise of last run with more patient tactics re-employed when well-held sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy, 9/1) 22 days ago. 0-12 over hurdles, fine effort in defeat at Fairyhouse latest, drying ground a worry.
4	7 4th (7) (17/2 -143%) Maid On The Moon	8.5 17/2(-143%)	(7) Maid On The Moon 17/2, Blinkered for 1st time, showed much improved form to get off the mark under Rules for her current connections in 18-runner handicap hurdle (20/1) at Leopardstown (20f, good to soft) 27 days ago, joined when left well clear last. 11 lb rise makes things tough. Won easily at Leopardstown, up 11lb and longer trip now, handles most ground, claims again.
5th	3 5th (3) (17/2 +39%) Slim Marvel	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(3) Slim Marvel 17/2, Ran one of this season's lesser races when 24½ lengths fifth of 18 to Maid On The Moon in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, good to soft, 9/2) 27 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Bounce back needed. Maiden winner, has placed off this mark, could get closer to Maid In The Moon; visor.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 -83%) Stretchemout	11 11/1(-83%)	(6) Stretchemout 11/1, Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time, failed by only a narrow margin despite not being seen to best effect when second of 14 in maiden hurdle at Thurles (20f, good to soft, 5/1) 24 days ago, short of room approaching straight. Capable of better now handicapping. Point winner, narrowly denied in a maiden latest, trip should suit, chance on h'cap debut.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (15/8 +38%) Out For A Stroll	1.875 15/8(+38%)	(4) Out For A Stroll 15/8, Won at Limerick on St. Stephen's Day and matched that form as opposed to improving on it when second of 6 in juvenile handicap hurdle (5/2) at Punchestown (16.2f, heavy) a couple of months ago. Significantly up in trip. Merits consideration. Won 3yo maiden at Limerick, form of h'cap debut boosted, big chance if she stays this trip.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (22/1 -57%) Magic Boum	22 22/1(-57%)	(1) Magic Boum 22/1, Won at Navan on hurdling debut in December but well beaten on both subsequent starts, tailed-off last in listed event back there (20f, heavy) 7 weeks ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Point and maiden winner, outclassed latest, could do better in h'cap, can't discount.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (22/1 -10%) Kilda Kelle	22 22/1(-10%)	(8) Kilda Kelle 22/1, Failed to improve on handicap debut when sixth of 17 at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 18/1) 4 weeks ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Significantly up in trip. Promise on last two starts, pedigree suggests this step up in trip might suit, outrun odds.

OUT FOR A STROLL defeated a subsequent Grade 3 winner to score at Limerick at Christmas and chased home the Fred Winter fifth at Punchestown when last seen. Being Flat-bred, she should have more to offer on the drying ground and is a progressive four-year-old. An untidy final-flight jump probably cost Joyeuse Royale victory at Thurles recently and she should be suited by stepping up in distance on handicap debut. Magic Boum drops in grade having disappointed on two recent starts but notably defeated Grade 1-placed Eastern Legend to win in December.

Plenty in with a squeak but it could pay to take a chance on bottom-weight LILIAN BLAND, who arrives in the form of her life over the larger obstacles and has a much lower hurdles mark to work with here. Heading up the dangers is Maid On The Moon, who was a fortuitous winner at Leopardstown last month and has been hit with a hefty 11 lb rise. Joueuse Royale and Stretchemout can fight out minor honours.

The filly OUT FOR A STROLL (nap) looks potentially very well treated on the form of her last two runs.

16:05 Downpatrick 28f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (15/2 -25%) Dunboyne	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(6) Dunboyne 15/2, Not the most reliable but, back over hurdles, he made his first start since leaving Gordon Elliott a winning one when landing 15-runner handicap at Navan (20f, heavy, 66/1) 29 days ago. Remains on a handy mark so he enters calculations returned to chasing. Recent hurdles win augurs well although ground possibly on the quick side.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/1 -100%) Final Orders	10 10/1(-100%)	(2) Final Orders 10/1, Without a win so far this season but turned in best effort of the campaign when third of 13 in listed handicap at Leopardstown (21.5f, good to soft, 18/1) 28 days ago, rallying well late on. Worth a try at this trip so he's interesting from his current mark. Back to form at Leopardstown recently; unproven over this extended trip.
3	8 3rd (8) (11/1 -29%) Jumping Jet	11 11/1(-29%)	(8) Jumping Jet 11/1, Successful in this race last year. Yet to fully fire this season, off 4 months before finishing second of 3 in minor event at Down Royal (26.2f, good, 2/1) 13 days ago, but she could take a step forward with her recent run behind her. Last year's winner had a decent prep run at Down Royal; ground in her favour.
4	10 4th (10) (20/1 +9%) Brazil	20 20/1(+9%)	(10) Brazil 20/1, Useful hurdler at best but has yet to make much impact over fences, jumping ponderously when pulled up on handicap chase debut at Punchestown (19.7f, soft, 25/1) in December. Others more persuasive as he goes up in trip. Boodles winner yet to get act together chasing; big step up in trip here.
5th	13 5th (13) (9/2 +50%) Peaches And Cream	4.5 9/2(+50%)	(13) Peaches And Cream 9/2, Third in this race in 2022 and scored at Punchestown next time. Has proved more miss than hit this season, though, seventh of 8 in handicap at Punchestown (22.7f, heavy, 40/1) on latest outing in January. Back up in trip. Disputing when last-fence faller in this last year; recent form not good but 9lb lower.
6th	11 6th (11) (11/1 +21%) Bodhisattva	11 11/1(+21%)	(11) Bodhisattva 11/1, On a losing run but posted a good second in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh (31.4f, good to soft) in February. Hasn't been able to build on that effort in 2 starts since, though, seventh of 16 in Midlands Grand National (14/1) at Uttoxeter (34f, soft) 15 days ago. Campaigning in Britain of late without success; hard to fancy.
7th	17 7th (17) (16/1 +0%) Wine An Dine	16 16/1(+0%)	(17) Wine An Dine 16/1, Winning pointer who has made the frame 3 times in chases this season, running creditably upped in trip when fourth of 14 in Dublin National at Leopardstown (28.3f, good to soft, 25/1) 4 weeks ago. More needed. RESERVE. Good second at Fairyhouse but below that form since and 5lb wrong here; reserve.
8th	9 8th (9) (28/1 -40%) Stormy Judge	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Stormy Judge 28/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021 and well below form when tenth of 14 in Leinster National at Naas (24.8f, soft, 28/1) 3 weeks ago. Mark has eased further as a result, but application of cheekpieces needs to help spark a return to form. Underwhelming recent Naas run and ground here plenty quick; cheekpieces tried.
9th	7 9th (7) (40/1 -100%) So Des Flos	40 40/1(-100%)	(7) So Des Flos 40/1, Successful twice in handicap chases last year but has been struggling for form in the current campaign, eleventh of 13 in listed handicap at Leopardstown (21.5f, good to soft) 4 week ago. Has enough to prove at present. Below best of late and hasn't convinced over these marathon trips in the past.
16	16 \|F\| (16) (9/1 +64%) Wellington Hill	9 9/1(+64%)	(16) Wellington Hill 9/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler and has matched that level over fences without getting his head in front. After 7 months off, shaped as if better for the run when seventh of 14 in Dublin National at Leopardstown (28.3f, good to soft, 18/1) 4 weeks ago. RESERVE. Better for recent comeback run but still hard to see him having an impact; reserve.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (10/3 -11%) Iris Emery	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(12) Iris Emery 10/3, Upped in trip for handicap debut, wasted no time getting back to form when third of 14 in Dublin National at Leopardstown (28.3f, good to soft, 14/1) 4 weeks ago. Remains unexposed as a stayer and she's a major player for her leading yard. Didn't appear to stay 3m5f on handicap debut at Leopardstown; obvious stamina worries.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (10/1 -43%) Ask Anything	10 10/1(-43%)	(5) Ask Anything 10/1, Shaped best when runner-up in this race last year. Made the frame over hurdles in January, before meeting trouble in running when ninth of 17 in listed handicap chase at Punchestown (27f, soft, 15/2) last time. Could fare better back here. Last year's second out of form of late on soft; improved effort likely on better ground.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (12/1 +14%) Hands Of Gold	12 12/1(+14%)	(14) Hands Of Gold 12/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler but below that level over fences, though in the process of showing better form before falling 2 out at Gowran on penultimate start. Went backwards from that effort when pulled up at same course (16f, heavy, 17/2) last time. Significantly up in trip. Hard to fancy but longer trip and better ground could see improvement.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (25/1 +24%) Ringdufferin	25 25/1(+24%)	(15) Ringdufferin 25/1, Fairly useful winner at 24f over hurdles but has lost his way over fences, tailed-off sixth of 8 in handicap at Punchestown (22.7f, heavy, 25/1) 24 days ago. Others preferred. Better hurdler; reportedly burst blood vessels latest; not an obvious one.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (50/1 -100%) Bronn	50 50/1(-100%)	(1) Bronn 50/1, Very smart at best over fences but his form has gone the wrong way, faring no better in first-time tongue strap when falling at the eleventh in Leinster National at Naas (24.8f, soft, 66/1) 3 weeks ago. Rated 154 in his prime but remains out of form.

IRIS EMERY ran well in the Dublin National over this distance earlier this month and has obvious claims. Despite having won just once in her career, she wasn't beaten too far by some smart types this season and while she may not be far ahead of the handicapper, should nonetheless run a solid race. Final Orders ran well in a Listed race at Leopardstown recently and will relish drying ground. Dunboyne completes the shortlist.

IRIS EMERY quickly left behind a below-par effort when third in the Dublin National at Leopardstown last time and, with more still to offer at long distances, she could be ready to open her chase account. She is preferred to Dunboyne, who proved revitalised by a change of yard when scoring over hurdles on his latest outing, with Final Orders and Jumping Jet others to consider.

DUNBOYNE looked rejuvenated when scoring over hurdles at Navan and runs off a 10lb lower mark than this time last year

16:40 Downpatrick 19f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (11/2 -175%) Ballysax Hank	5.5 11/2(-175%)	(1) Ballysax Hank 11/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Hooded for 1st time, keeping on when unseating last in maiden at Naas (20.1f, soft, 33/1) on debut over fences 21 days ago. Would have run to a pretty useful level and should be bang there with a clear round. Jumping let him down on recent chase debut, better ground here could see improvement.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 +43%) Heroes Rise	2 2/1(+43%)	(3) Heroes Rise 2/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Naas (19.5f, soft, 10/1) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut for a top yard. Okay runs in handicap hurdles of late, 5yo now tries chasing.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 -8%) Step Out	7 7/1(-8%)	(4) Step Out 7/1, Fairly useful chaser. 9/1, fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Kelso (21.6f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Not discredited at Kelso latest but more needed to play a major role here; has his ground.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -25%) Digby	20 20/1(-25%)	(2) Digby 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Remote fifth of 6 in novice chase at Down Royal (19.6f, good, 15/2) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Recent return to fences at Down Royal was poor so plenty of questions to answer.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +14%) Your Honor	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Your Honor 12/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 32 lengths third of 4 to Champ Kiely in Flyingbolt Novices' Chase (66/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) on debut over fences 29 days ago. Respected with sights lowered. Out of depth on recent chase debut; this looks more realistic but quicker ground not ideal.
6th	7 6th (7) (4/1 -45%) True Testimony	4 4/1(-45%)	(7) True Testimony 4/1, Fairly useful chaser. 20/1, fourth of 7 in maiden chase at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 31 days ago. That form sets the standard here. Recent Clonmel run augurs well providing she handles these quicker conditions.
5	5 \|U\| (5) (4/1 +71%) Tell Nobody Nothin	4 4/1(+71%)	(5) Tell Nobody Nothin 4/1, Winner of a maiden hurdle here in September. Remote sixth on previous chase start but too soon to suggest he won't make the grade over fences. Good hurdles form here earlier in the season; needs to jump better but time on his side.

TRUE TESTIMONY drops in grade following useful efforts against capable mares in two runs this season. She showed nice ability in maiden hurdles last season and looks to have plenty in her favour. Debut point-to-point winner Heroes Rise has decent hurdles form and has to be noted. Ballysax Hank was probably unsuited by testing ground on his most recent starts, but has something to prove back on a sounder surface.

If TRUE TESTIMONY can reproduce last month's Gowran form she's probably the one to beat. This is more realistic for Your Honour than the Grade 3 he tackled on his chase debut and he's second choice ahead of Gavin Cromwell's Ballysax Hank.

A very open look to this beginners chase, it could pay to keep the faith with TELL NOBODY NOTHIN

17:15 Downpatrick 23f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 +27%) Asphalt Cowboy	4 4/1(+27%)	(1) Asphalt Cowboy 4/1, Dual winning pointer who made a positive start to his hunter career when 4 lengths second of 11 at Thurles (25f) 24 days ago. Should go well again. 2-10 in points, fine effort in defeat in similar race to this latest, solid chance.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/4 +55%) Cause For Comment	1.5 6/4(+55%)	(6) Cause For Comment 6/4, Fifth in a bumper for Willie Mullins last summer and also placed in a pair of 3m points this year. Joined a new stable for his hunter debut. Promise in a Galway bumper and two points for Willie Mullins, new yard now, considered.
3	4 3rd (4) (15/2 -50%) Last Round	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(4) Last Round 15/2, Point winner. Finished 11 lengths behind the reopposing Asphalt Cowboy on his Thurles hunter debut but seemed to pay for a big move into contention on that occasion and he's likely to improve for his top stable. Won on soft at Tinahely in January, held by Asphalt Cowboy latest, may need softer ground.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 +10%) Cosmic Blizzard	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Cosmic Blizzard 9/1, Lost his way over fences at the end of last summer but arrives in form from the pointing field. 1-6 in points, beat Drumcliff Bay on penultimate, can't discount with ground to suit.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 -146%) Step Up Son	4 4/1(-146%)	(5) Step Up Son 4/1, Twice-raced maiden. Left his first run under Rules well behind when second of 13 in hunter chase (100/1) at Gowran (25f, heavy) 22 days ago. Will be tough to beat with a repeat of that form. 2-12 in points, fine effort at big odds latest at Gowran, big chance if handles the ground.
6th	8 6th (8) (80/1 -220%) Townhill Lass	80 80/1(-220%)	(8) Townhill Lass 80/1, Pulled up in hunter chase at Clonmel (20f, soft, 150/1) on NH debut 74 days ago. Has won a point since but likely up against it back under Rules. Won a maiden point last month, pulled up at Clonmel previously, more needed to win.
3	3 \|U\| (3) (17/2 +23%) Drumcliff Bay	8.5 17/2(+23%)	(3) Drumcliff Bay 17/2, Modest form at best over hurdles and also 0-7 in points. Headgear added for hunter chase debut. Best watched. Closely matched with Cosmic Blizzard, has course form, cheekpieces & tongue tie go on.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (150/1 -355%) Kingston Coole	150 150/1(-355%)	(7) Kingston Coole 150/1, Point win last May but pulled up in a hunter in January and suffered a similar fate back in the pointing field since. Outsider. Won a point in May 2024, pulled up last two starts, hood and tongue tie now tried.

CAUSE FOR COMMENT is a maiden point-to-pointer but has shown nice ability and is open to further progression in this sphere, being just a five-year-old. From a fine family, the selection wasn't beaten too far in a Galway Festival bumper last July and has since performed well in point-to-points for his new trainer. He made a bad mistake on his pointing debut before running quite well at Punchestown last month. Asphalt Cowboy is proven at this level, having finished second to a useful type in a similar race at Thurles last time, where Last Round finished third.

If STEP UP SON is in the same form as when runner-up at Gowran 3 weeks ago he may have a bit too much for Thurles 2-3 Asphalt Cowboy and Last Round.

It might be worth taking a chance on DRUMCLIFF BAY who has previously run well at this venue over hurdles

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.
