(6) Spitfire Fighter 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, eighth of 15 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, soft, 25/1) 10 days ago, not knocked about.
Has the benefit of a recent hurdles run, lacks AW experience, could feature if adapting.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

In-form FLY TO GLORY stands out here in claiming company. The Pat Murphy-trained gelding has won his last two handicaps and looks nicely treated in this 7f contest, where he is top rated with a mark of 69. Next best at the weights is the Gavin Cromwell-trained Cross Border and he could be a danger. The Expert Eye gelding steps up in trip again and has run well over 7f here in the past. Man Is King is another to consider.

If FLY TO GLORY is in the same form as when landing a C&D handicap earlier in the month he looks weighted to win again. Higher Kingdom heads the dangers along with Ado McGuinness pair Clonmacash, who ran well here on Wednesday, and Half Nutz.

This looks like a good opportunity for FLY TO GLORY (nap) to complete a hat-trick after two handicap wins at this venue

SENIOR MONTECRISTO bumped into an improver when runner-up on his last visit and can go one better now. The Havana Gold gelding was well-backed that day but had to settle for second behind Lost President, who went on to frank the form here on Monday. The selection may again be able to hold Movin And Groovin, who was two lengths behind in third last time. She is 4lb better off on ratings now but doesn't have a claimer on board this time. Brigid's Cloak ran a big race on her handicap debut here in October and is another to note on her return from a little break.

SENIOR MONTECRISTO shaped well when runner-up to a next-time-out winner ober 1m here 3 weeks ago and with the return to 7f not expected to be a problem, he makes plenty of appeal. Movin ans Groovin arrives in excellent order so she's a threat, while Roaming Eyes lurks on a dangerous mark if she can bounce back to form.

SENIOR MONTECRISTO was only reeled in late here over 1m on his last start and can go one better dropping back in trip

SHAMANKA stepped forward nicely on her second outing here last month and may be able to open her account now. The Shaman filly improved from her debut run a month previously when third to Honeysuckle Rose and looks the pick of those with form in the book. There are a couple of interesting newcomers in opposition. Ten Sovereigns gelding Snapaurum is a half-brother to Snapraeterea, who has won three Listed races for the yard. Adrian Murray introduces Umala, a Saxon Warrior filly who cost 120,000 euro as a yearling. She is a half-sister to a Listed winner in Germany.

The betting should reveal plenty here but the vote goes to Ten Sovereigns gelding SNAPAURUM who fetched £105,000 as a yearling and is bred to be well above average. Lady Plimsoll and Shamanka rate the pick of those with experience and can chase home Joseph O'Brien's newcomer in that order.

\bUMALA\ gets the nod. Adrian Murray's filly is bred to be above-average and she might prove to be up to the job on her debut

1st (6) Vierson (10/11 +74%)
Vierson

0.909091
10/11(+74%)
(6) Vierson 10/11, Fair filly. Twelfth of 18 in handicap (16/1) at Galway (11.8f, heavy), meeting some trouble. Off 95 days. Significantly back down in trip and better showing anticipated.
Ran well in a strong 7f fillies' maiden here; return to a sounder surface should suit.

Quatrain

(5) Quatrain 3/2, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Ran well below best when eighth of 12 in maiden at this course (10.7f, 13/2) 21 days ago. Back down in trip and pick of her efforts give her sound claims here.
Has placed five times from eight starts; sets a high bar here and should go close.

12/1(-200%)
(1) Bahama Bear 12/1, Twice-raced filly. 28/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at this course (7f) 86 days ago, left behind over 1f out. However, debut effort wasn't devoid of encouragement and she's not out of things with a repeat of that.
Never involved in a 7f maiden here when last seen; this is easier but she has work to do.

4th (4) Ocean Diamond (13/2 -117%)
Ocean Diamond

(4) Ocean Diamond 13/2, Siyouni filly. Attracted support but ran green and not persevered with when held when seventh of 14 in maiden (9/4) at this course (7f) on debut 49 days ago. That experience won't have been wasted on her and better showing anticipated.
Heavily backed for her debut here; she's well worth another chance in a weak contest.
2
5th (2) Clifton Light (22/1 -38%)
Clifton Light

22
22/1(-38%)
(2) Clifton Light 22/1, National Defense filly. 150/1, ran to just a poor level when tenth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f, 150/1) on debut 49 days ago. Needs to step up plenty on that if she's to figure.
Around 2l behind Ocean Diamond on debut; yard went close with one here on Monday.
3
6th (3) Gers Shadow (100/1 -203%)
Gers Shadow

(3) Gers Shadow 100/1, Vadamos mare who was sent off at long odds and never figured when twelfth of 16 in bumper at Cork (2m, soft, 66/1) on NH debut 14 days ago.
Made little impression when well beaten in Cork bumper a fortnight ago; unlikely to figure.

QUATRAIN worryingly disappointed here earlier this month but contests a weak race and had previously shown nice form. She needs to return to the form shown in maidens in 2024 but seems ideally suited by this distance and also likes this all-weather surface. Ocean Diamond made her belated career debut here in December wearing a tongue-tie and while she started a strong favourite, seemed to disappoint. That tongue-tie is notably left off today and improvement should be expected. Vierson was probably unsuited by heavy ground when disappointing on her previous run last October. She had shown form earlier that month at Bellewstown but now reverts down to a much shorter distance and lacks race-fitness.

QUATRAIN needs to dispel a lesser effort over further here 12 days ago, yet the pick of her exploits, including on this surface, give her solid claims in a maiden lacking depth and she's selected to bounce back. Bahama Bear and Vierson rate next best.

A modest affair can go the way of OCEAN DIAMOND, an expensive purchase who was sent off a well-backed favourite on her debut

6/1(+20%)
(11) Nedita 6/1, C&D winner in December and ran at least as well in defeat when third of 10 to Tribal Moon in handicap at this C&D 17 days ago, despite being slowly away. Should remain competitive.

15/2(-25%)
(4) Tribal Moon 15/2, Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this C&D (11/2) 17 days ago by ½ length from Morning Approach, keeping on well. Should remain competitive.
Dual C&D winner effectively only 1lb higher here as Harnett claims 5lb; likes to lead.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

TRIBAL MOON has done well at this venue in recent runs and might follow up his two recent course-and-distance wins. He defeated Morning Approach by a half-length to win here earlier this month and while now 4lb worse off and competing from a career high rating, is just a four-year-old so might continue to progress some more. Morning Approach has obvious claims and is able at this level but is more exposed. Cousin Shay has been in excellent form and won over a longer distance recently but the six-year-old must now compete from a career-high mark.

ZIPSTER looked unlucky not to finish closer on his final outing for the Crisfords at Southwell in October and remains of firm interest on his first start for his new yard. Cousin Shay and Free Solo are a couple of potential threats in a highly competitive big-field handicap.

Ger O'Leary has hit the ground running at Dundalk this year and ZIPSTER can get off the mark on his Irish/stable debut

Won over C&D on debut in October, stamina was stretched over 2m here last time.

Mo Ghille Mar

5/1(-82%)
(1) Mo Ghille Mar 5/1, Fairly useful filly who improved on hurdles debut form without looking a natural when third of 6 in a Fairyhouse juvenile (2m) 3 weeks ago. Respected back in this sphere making polytrack debut.
Useful middle-distance performer, suited by good ground, fit from hurdling in good races.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

MO GHILLE MAR debuts on the all-weather but is race-fit from hurdling and had shown good form on the Flat last year. The selection was suited by fast ground on turf so should handle this surface and while well held on her latest Flat runs, those were in smart races and her latest hurdle run at Fairyhouse proved her well-being. Persian Bliss defeated Pearl Jewel to win on his debut here in October and while well beaten long distances in better races since then, he finished third and ahead of plenty rivals here in November over a longer distance. Polemon wasn't beaten far in a recent course-and-distance handicap.

GOLDEN TEMPLE clearly wasn't himself on his latest hurdles run 5 weeks ago but he'd previously ran well at this venue so, with his usual headgear combination refitted, he's given the vote to quickly bounce back. Pearl Jewel and Mo Ghille Mar are others to consider in a tricky contest to unravel.

The two fillies may dominate here. PEARL JEWEL is an established performer at this venue and may have the measure of Mo Ghille Mar

Down the field in a claimer on Monday, previous handicap fourth was respectable.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

RECLAIM seemed to show a little more when upped to this distance here earlier this month and should compete. The selection is a 10-race maiden and did once try 1m2f on turf, but this surface seems to suit him and he looks sure to run another consistent race. Si Senior himself tried this distance for the first time when running well in a recent course claimer. He reverts back to handicaps now and should again compete. Three-time winner Doctor Grace is ideally suited by this distance and has been running well enough from similar ratings recently and can get involved under his 10lb claimer.

RANKO EXPRESS had an excuse here last time and is given another chance to confirm the promise of his close third over C&D prior to that. Chopsticks, Reclaim and Together Aclaim complete the shortlist in a competitive finale.

Plenty to consider here. A hopeful vote goes to RANKO EXPRESS who went close over C&D on his penultimate start

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.
