Just Jump has shown pace on a number of occasions for Andy Slattery over 6f notably when headed close home in the maiden won by Sharkii here just before Christmas. TROPICAL RETREAT made a promising debut in that race when just over a length behind in fourth and may progress enough to reverse those placings with that experience under her belt. Red Evolution went close a number of times last year including when runner-up to Celtic Chieftain over this trip at Navan and takes a big drop in class after finishing in rear in a Listed race here in October. Edana Of Ireland had Charanda behind when making an encouraging debut at this venue.

The pick of RED EVOLUTION'S exploits as a juvenile give him prime claims, so he's given the nod back in calmer waters following a 4-month break/having been gelded since last seen. Tropical Retreat shaped better than the bare result on debut over 6f here recently and she's a likely threat with progress anticipated. Just Jump is another holding claims.

A break and a gelding procedure may do the trick for RED EVOLUTION who showed lots of promise in early season maidens last year

EIGHTY EIGHT benefitted from an enterprising ride by Patrick McGettigan when just holding on to make all over C&D last month and appeared to find 1m4f too far when narrowly failing to repeat the trick last time, with Autocrat two lengths behind in fifth. Storm Eric gained a third career win on his penultimate start here over a mile but has also gone close on a number of occasions at this trip including finishing strongly when beaten a neck by Signor Ferrari last time. Acheron was placed twice in three outings at around this trip in France and any market move would be significant switching to a handicap on his Irish debut.

A winner over 1m here on his penultimate start, STORM ERIC was a good second under a penalty over C&D 15 days ago, just failing having not been so well placed as the winner. He looks a big player again and is preferred over fellow in-form sorts Autocrat and Eighty Eight.

It may be worth gambling on the ability of Danny Murphy's unexposed French import ACHERON to adapt to this surface

MISTER ADAM ran a cracker on debut when finishing well into fourth in a 27-runner 1m Curragh maiden on the final day of the turf season, with Palmezzano well behind, and given normal improvement may prove difficult to beat. The son of Too Darn Hot is bred to appreciate this step up in trip being out of Irish St Leger winner Voleuse De Coeurs. Waterford Flow also made a pleasing start when keeping on nicely over a mile here last month and looks the pick of Joseph O'Brien's four runners, while What's Your Game and Adrienne both filled the runner-up spot here in November and are others to consider.

There was a lot to like about MISTER ADAM's opening effort in a big field at the Curragh in the autumn and he can strike at the second time of asking. November's course runner-up What's Your Game should have more to offer and is second choice ahead of Waterford Flow, one of 4 runners for Joseph O'Brien.

There was plenty to like about MISTER ADAM's debut at the Curragh and there should be more to come at this sort of trip

ICE OPERA has been tried over a variety of trips and may have found a good opportunity to open her account. The Sheila Lavery-trained filly found two miles too far last month and was only caught in the closing stages when bidding to make all over 1m4f here last time. San Salvador has gained five career wins including a valuable handicap hurdle and a Grade 3 success over fences. The bumper winner hasn't raced on the Flat since filling the runner-up spot in a 1m4f Ballinrobe maiden back in 2022. Any market move for Good Eye, a daughter of Expert Eye and a half-sister to a juvenile winner, would be interesting.

SAN SALVADOR sets a lofty standard on his Graded jumps form and could be hard to beat on his AW debut provided he's none the worse for his Leopardstown spill. Ice Opera is the obvious danger.

Useful chaser San Salvador migh prefer further and may not cope with ICE OPERA who made much of the running over 1m4f last time

PINK OXALIS is an eight-race maiden, but has displayed nice ability on two recent course runs. She initially showed promise in maidens last summer and although her form dropped away later in the year, she seems to like this surface and a reproduction of her latest second behind a subsequent winner would give her every chance under a 5lb claimer. Amemri is a three-time C&D winner and scored here last month, beating Senado Square. She has been raised 6lb but should again compete, being well suited by this surface. Clonmacash wasn't far behind the selection last month and again ran well here 12 days ago.

PINK OXALIS shaped well twice here last month, particularly with cheekpieces added on the second occasion, and looks the way to go. Clonmacash has also run well here in recent weeks and is feared most for Ado McGuinness. Ferrari Desert and The Cola Brasil also make the shortlist.

Plenty with a chance here but perhaps PINK OXALIS can keep up the recent good work at this track for Stephen Thorne

VOLATILE ANALYST won readily over C&D 12 days ago and can defy a 10lb hike. Rated 105 at his peak in 2022, his mark had fallen to 66 when scoring here recently and, being well suited by this surface, should again compete under a different 5lb claimer. Exquisite Acclaim defeated Hightimeyouwon to score over track and trip on the same recent card and both are dependable, capable types at this level. Just a half-length separated the pair, with Exquisite Acclaim 3lb worse off now. Anvika has a useful record from only four runs on the all-weather and can get involved.

ANVIKA is holding her form well and could land a third success back down in trip. Stephen Thorne's pair Hightimeyouwon and Volatile Analyst, who ended a long losing run here a fortnight ago, are strong contenders.

A high-class sort in his prime, VOLATILE ANALYST (nap) availed of his career-low marl 12 days ago and can go in again off 10lb higher

SPORTING HERO has been running consistently well and registered two C&D wins in November. He so nearly supplemented the latest of those victories when just denied over 5f last time and might benefit from returning to this distance. Mint Man was well beaten by an easy winner in a better race here 12 days ago, with Dream Today third, and has won just once from 17 runs, but is suited by this distance. Jackie Brown should make her presence felt too.

Having made the breakthrough in maiden company on his penultimate start, MINT MAN backed that up when finishing a respectable second in a C&D handicap 12 days ago. He shades the vote to regain the winning thread, with Sporting Hero, who arrives in excellent heart himself and Tommy McJohn from a potentially lenient mark others to consider. Velvet Skies completes the shortlist in a competitive heat.

Quite a few arrive in decent form, none more so than dual C&D winner SPORTING HERO who was only narrowly denied over 5f here last time

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.
