Mehman

0.833333
5/6(+52%)
(4) Mehman 5/6, Course winner. Creditable second of 11 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D 35 days ago, just failing. Got to come good again here soon.
Strong-finishing C&D second last month; major player.

3/1(+25%)
(6) Mint Man 3/1, Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner maiden (8/11) at this course (5f) 37 days ago by length from Crystal Luna. Not dismissed back in a handicap.
Recent maiden win franked since; major chance with rider's claim a positive.

Dream Today

10
10/1(-33%)
(5) Dream Today 10/1, 4-time C&D winner. Eleven defeats since taking this race last year. Tenth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 35 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a revival but it's possible in the new headgear.
Last year's winner will appreciate return to more positive tactics.

4th (1) Heart Of Darkness (11/1 -10%)
Heart Of Darkness

11
11/1(-10%)
(1) Heart Of Darkness 11/1, C&D winner. 3/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Cork (6f, good to firm) 128 days ago. First run for yard after leaving P. Twomey. Needs to improve from this mark.
Lightly raced C&D maiden winner with Paddy Twomey; could have more to offer.

5th (3) Genesis (14/1 +22%)
Genesis

14
14/1(+22%)
(3) Genesis 14/1, C&D winner. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to firm, 25/1) 160 days ago. Worth a look returning on this surface.
Best form over C&D but lacks a recent run.

6th (7) Crystal Luna (15/2 -50%)
Crystal Luna

7.5
15/2(-50%)
(7) Crystal Luna 15/2, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (5f, 10/3) 30 days ago. More needed again in this company.
Best form here at 5f; respected but possibly vulnerable.

The thoroughly admirable INISHMOT PRINCE can record a 10th career success at this venue. Tom McCourt's gelding has been slow to come to hand this winter but has shaped well enough on a couple of occasions to suggest he can be competitive off this rating. Runner-up in this race last year, the seven-year-old can open his account for the campaign. Dream Today, who beat Inishmot Prince in last years renewal, needs to return to his best to follow up. However, there have been signs in recent months that the gelding remains a force in this grade. Heart Of Darkness is an interesting runner on her debut for Ado McGuinness. A maiden winner over this track and trip, she could be well treated with Jack Kearney claiming 5lb.

MEHMAN just failed in a stronger race here 5 weeks ago, continuing his good run of form at Dundalk, and can deservedly get his head back in front. Last year's 1-2 Dream Today and Inishmot Prince are feared.

First and second in a 5f maiden here last month, MINT MAN can confirm the form with Crystal Luna over this longer trip

Jabbar

1.1
11/10(+32%)
(5) Jabbar 11/10, Fairly useful gelding. Five wins on the level. 4/1, creditable second of 16 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, heavy) 81 days ago. Holds his form well and could be the way to go.
Naas premier handicap third reads well; lacks a recent run but has run well fresh.

Jerandme

14
14/1(-17%)
(6) Jerandme 14/1, Good jumper at his best and dual C&D winner. Unsurprisingly looked rusty on first outing since leaving Noel Meade after 19 months off in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 49 days ago.
Dual C&D winner in his day; better for comeback run but hard to be confident in now.

3rd (2) Prairie Dancer (7/2 -27%)
Prairie Dancer

3.5
7/2(-27%)
(2) Prairie Dancer 7/2, 10/1, much improved when winning 7-runner handicap chase at Thurles (20.8f, good) 27 days ago. Far from bombproof but useful in this sphere and firmly in the hunt.
Recent chase winner in good order but unproven on the surface.

4th (1) Falcon Eight (9/4 -13%)
Falcon Eight

2.25
9/4(-13%)
(1) Falcon Eight 9/4, Group 3 winner in November 2023. Creditable seventh of 24 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Fairyhouse (20.2f, good) 48 days ago, faring best of those held up. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers back on. Classy sort but temperamental.
Very smart on turf at his best although on the decline; AW debut.

(3) Effernock Fizz 50/1, 14/1, 23¼ lengths last of 4 to La Renommee in listed chase at Doncaster (20.5f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing here. Work to do.
Admirable front-runner is 0-20 on the AW and lots on at the weights here.

Glam De Vega

40/1(+0%)
(4) Glam De Vega 40/1, Twice a winner in 2022 for Roger Varian, including on handicap debut at Hamilton (9.2f). 100/1 and hood on for 1st time in this code, eleventh of 17 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) 20 days ago. Makes polytrack debut.
Dual turf winner in Britain in 2022 for Roger Varian over shorter; recent hurdle form poor.

The Gerard O'Leary-trained JABBAR can maintain his rapid progress by making a winning return. A consistent handicapper on turf last season, the six-year-old improved each time he was asked to step up in trip. Having arguably run a career best when third over this distance at Naas in October, the Galileo Gold gelding looks the one to beat. A winner on the all-weather at Newcastle for previous connections, he should have no issues with this track. Falcon Eight, who finished one place behind Jabbar at Naas, has to be of interest. Although yet to tackle an artificial surface, the veteran has been running well of late. Prairie Dancer is another with limited experience on the all-weather but he comes here on the back of a win over fences at Thurles.

Tricky stuff but JABBAR didn't run a bad race in either code for Gerard O'Leary last year and could be the way to go ahead of Falcon Eight and Prairie Dancer.

An AW winner in Britain, JABBAR appeals off this mark, ahead of Prairie Dancer

(7) Elle Dorado Rock 8/1, Sixteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Punchestown (23.8f, soft) 38 days ago. Latest effort in this sphere was respectable and he's not without each-way hope.
Fancied when well beaten on his return in a Punchestown handicap hurdle; not discounted.

Scott Lang

4
4/1(+33%)
(2) Scott Lang 4/1, Last of 19 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 40/1) 22 days ago, going off too hard. Creditable second over 1½m here on latest in this sphere in November and solid claims upped in trip off the same mark.
Good second over 1m4f here in November; should see out the trip and looks a key player.

Nusra

10/1(-11%)
(4) Nusra 10/1, C&D winner. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (12f, 14/1) 28 days ago, not ideally placed. Significantly back up in trip and she's one to consider.
C&D winner; back to form when a close fourth in a 1m4f handicap here last month; contender.
3
4th (3) Mephisto (13/2 +28%)
Mephisto

6.5
13/2(+28%)
(3) Mephisto 13/2, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Creditable second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 28 days ago. Likely to give another good account .
Second in a C&D handicap last month; stable among the winners and unlikely to be far away.

Warrior Lion

12
12/1(+40%)
(1) Warrior Lion 12/1, 16/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 13 days ago and he again looks vulnerable.
Stepped up to 1m6f to little effect at Wolverhampton two weeks ago; others appeal far more.

Not beaten that far over 1m4f here last month; not certain to get the trip.

(11) Portarlington 3/1, 7/1, bit below form eighth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run.
Hat-trick over jumps; in the light of that he makes plenty of appeal here off a mark of 49.

(10) Movie King 10/1, C&D winner. 8/1 and blinkered for 1st time, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Place possibilities.
Disappointing effort over C&D last month and the blinkers have been dispensed with.

(5) Chartwell's Lady 25/1, Fourteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft, 66/1) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Others preferred.
Not much to recommend over hurdles in four runs here; makes little appeal at present.

Dual C&D winner MEPHISTO can register a third Dundalk success. Despite finishing runner-up to an easy winner here last time, the Ger Keane-trained gelding has been dropped 1lb. With Jack Kearney able to claim an additional 5lb off his back, the eight-year-old looks well handicapped at present. It would be a surprise if he wasn't very competitive in this bottom grade. Jet Times, a lightly-raced mare who ran a solid race here on her all-weather debut last time, rates a serious danger. With the benefit of that previous experience, the seven-year-old should hold strong claims under Danny Power. A three-time winner for current connections, Portarlington has to be of interest reverting to the Flat.

There was a valid excuse for SCOTT LANG's heavy defeat over hurdles at Leopardstown recently and he is appealing upped in trip off the same mark as when runner-up here in November. Jet Times took a step forward when third on her first attempt over 2m here and she is next on the list ahead of Nusra, while Bright Start is also shortlisted.

The form he has shown over jumps this winter makes PORTARLINGTON hard to ignore off a mark of just 49

(8) Exquisite Acclaim 11/2, Fairly useful gelding. 7½ lengths last of 9 to San Andreas in handicap (4/1) at this course (10.7f) 28 days ago. Significantly back down in trip and he's opposable.
Didn't stay 1m2f behind San Andreas latest and back to more suitable trip.

Waiting tactics overdone when upped in trip here on latest behind San Andreas, more likely.

(1) San Andreas 10/1, Useful gelding. 3-time C&D winner. 5/1, improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this course (10.7f) 28 days ago, keeping on well. Cheekpieces back on and he has to enter the reckoning in current form.
Back to form over longer trips of late; 11lb rise makes this tough though.

(4) Catch The Paddy 10/3, Fairly useful gelding. Course winner. Latest win here in December. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 30 days ago. Should go close, provided he doesn't go off quite so hard this time.
Front-runner faded quite tamely over C&D latest, but previous 1m win puts him in the mix.

Dual sprint winner here last winter; upped in trip on return and may just need this.

A competitive affair in which FINAL VOYAGE may regain the winning thread for trainer Johnny Murtagh. A winner over a mile here last February, the gelding has the pace to cope with dropping back a furlong. Young apprentice Patrick McGettigan looks good value for his 7lb claim in a race of this nature. The veteran San Andreas has been a revelation of late, winning on his latest two starts. Despite creeping back up the handicap, the nine-year-old could still have more to offer off a mark of 99. Catch The Paddy is likely to make a bold bid from the front once again under James Ryan. It would be a mistake to allow Patrick McKenna's gelding too much leeway.

The vote goes to CATCH THE PADDY, who probably went off a shade too hard when fading into fourth over C&D last month. He had Hightimeyouwon, who rates the main danger, back in fourth when scoring over a mile here on his penultimate start and a reproduction of that would give him every chance. Dontspoilasale is third choice ahead of the hat-trick seeking San Andreas.

Hard to rule out any but a chance is taken on FINAL VOYAGE, ridden to stay the longer trip last time when not at his best

200,000euros yearling picked up for just 8,000gns after leaving Roger Varian; market watch.

With the Pat Murphy yard firing on all cylinders at present, FREE SOLO can provide another winner for the popular Kilkenny trainer. A winner off 75 here last January, the gelding showed that his turn was near when runner-up last week. Now down to 64 with Sam Coen able to claim an additional 7lb, it is difficult to bypass the son of Showcasing. Volatile Analyst is undoubtedly well handicapped at present but isn't the easiest to win with. Perhaps the addition of first-time blinkers will help in that regard. I'm Spartacus has been holding his form but appears better over a shorter distance.

The first-time eyeshields appeared to give FREE SOLO a lift here last week when chasing home a bang in-form rival in Cousin Shay (winner again since) and he is taken to go one better back at 7f off the same mark. Fly To Glory has to be respected in his bid for a third win in a row, while I'm Spartacus and Little Keilee both make each-way appeal.

Pat Murphy's FREE SOLO came back to form when runner-up over 1m last time and may go one better

Much better effort after a break here last month but still did not really get home.

5/2(+38%)
(2) Shoot To Kill 5/2, Dual course winner, the latest in December. 11/4, creditable second of 13 in handicap at this venue (7f) 7 days ago, slowly away. Solid each-way chance.
In good form during the winter series here, winning twice over 7f; one of two for Thorne.

18/1(-157%)
(7) Dynamic Force 18/1, Bit below form seventh of 17 in handicap (6/1) at the Curragh (6f, good). Off 139 days and significantly back up in trip. 0-9 on the AW.
Not beaten far when seventh of 17 at the Curragh last time in August; merits respect.

Mulgrave

40/1(-186%)
(4) Mulgrave 40/1, Six-time C&D winner. 28/1, eighteenth of 24 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, soft) 87 days ago. Boasts a good strike rate on the AW but his mark reflects that and others make more appeal.
Good third in a Fairyhouse handicap in September but well beaten twice since; best watched.

6th (3) Glen Princess (25/1 -25%)
Glen Princess

25/1(-25%)
(3) Glen Princess 25/1, Seventh of 7 in handicap at Punchestown (9.2f, good, 7/1) (fifth past the post but subsequently disqualified). Off 122 days ahead of this debut for new yard and others preferred.
Dual winner over 1m; probably best watched on his stable debut after four months off.
8
7th (8) Comfort Line (7/1 -56%)
Comfort Line

7
7/1(-56%)
(8) Comfort Line 7/1, Four-time C&D winner. Three wins from 24 runs last year. Good ½-length third of 14 to Shoot To Kill in handicap (15/2) at this course (7f) 28 days ago, met some trouble. Has to be taken seriously.
Close third to Shoot To Kill here last month and has a good chance of turning the tables.

8th (1) Migdam (17/2 +15%)
Migdam

8.5
17/2(+15%)
(1) Migdam 17/2, C&D winner. 10/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Down in trip and he's not discounted.
Not at his best in a couple of small field handicaps over further here last month.

Top-weight MIGDAM can make his class count here under excellent apprentice Nicola Burns. The Ado McGuinness-trained six-year-old has failed to get competitive on his most recent starts but should appreciate dropping back to a mile now. Having run well in stronger races here last winter, the gelding should benefit from this easier task. Recent C&D winner Perfect Judgement is arguably the pick of the two Stephen Thorne-trained runners. The blinkers which appeared to aid his cause on that occasion have been retained here. Mulgrave, a six-time winner here, always commands maximum respect. The faster they go, the better his chances of settling are.

COMFORT LINE has scored twice here in recent months and he encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage when a close third to Shoot To Kill over 7f here last time. He has a good chance of turning the tables on that rival on these revised terms. That said, Shoot To Kill is clearly in good heart and he should be in there pitching once more and Migdam looks dangerous having slipped to an attractive mark.

Preference is for the rock solid COMFORT LINE, as hardy as they come and has a good chance of turning tables with Shoot To Kill

(10) Fine Print 9/1, 12/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 56 days ago, barely adequate test. Others more persuasive.
Disappointing on his AW debut in November and again the following week; on a fair mark.

Mixed messages on her last two runs over how well she gets this trip but respected.

(8) Zentopia 80/1, 200/1, thirteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, good) 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Poor on last Flat outing.
Very modest Flat performer and the same so far over hurdles; makes no appeal.

(1) Wrecking Ball Paul 5/1, Course winner. Tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 66/1) 30 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
Out of form at the moment despite coming down the handicap; others preferred.

(3) Ravelli 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Sixth of 12 in maiden (200/1) at this course (10.7f) 7 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes handicap debut. Difficult ask.
Some late headway in a 1m2f maiden here last week; could get into the frame.

(2) Arthur Rose 13/2, 16/1, first run since leaving Clive Cox when excellent fifth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f) 7 days ago, never nearer. Significantly up in trip.
Takes a considerable step up in trip here but she is in very shrewd hands.

Returns here after six months off and best watched, but not discounted.

IMPERIAL MISS has shaped well enough in similar races this winter to suggest she can open her account in this finale. Since stepping up to this trip, the daughter of Churchill has given the impression she is capable of gaining a victory. In a race where few appear to have genuine chances, she can make the most of the opportunity. The former British-trained Arthur Rose is lightly raced enough to remain of interest in what is just her second start for Mark Fahey. She is stepped up considerably in distance now. Jawhary, who was runner-up here before Christmas, has run well enough in similar races of late. He should pick one up at some stage and this isn't the strongest of contests.

None of these look particularly solid and the suggestion is IMPERIAL MISS, who has improved a touch in C&D handicaps the last twice and this represents a good opportunity for the 4-y-o to open her account. Dromore Glory was a solid second on his latest all-weather start and is preferred to Jawhary for forecast purposes.

The most intriguing is ARTHUR ROSE (nap), who came home well over 1m last week and might just be good enough over this longer trip

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.
