Phil's Dream |
(9) (5/1 +38%)5/1(+38%) | (9) Phil's Dream 5/1, C&D winner. Winner here in January. 13/2, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this course (6f) 2 days ago. Shortlist material. Sprang a surprise when getting off the mark over C&D; solid 3rd over 6f two days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (2) (11/8 +59%) Billboa |
11/8(+59%) | (2) Billboa 11/8, Career best when winning 9-runner maiden at this course (6f, 6/5) 65 days ago, driven out. Merits consideration. Made all to win a 6f maiden here beating a subsequent winner; respected on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (10/3 +0%) Samrogue |
10/3(+0%) | (5) Samrogue 10/3, 4-time C&D winner who landed 14-runner handicap here 58 days ago, despite being slowly away. Thriving at present so she's a player once more. Four-time C&D winner has been in fine form lately and another big run is likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/1 -22%) Army Of India |
11/1(-22%) | (1) Army Of India 11/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022 and below-par third of 4 in minor event at this course (6f, 16/1) 7 days ago. Three-time AW winner in UK; best run for this yard came over 6f last week; needs a repeat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (25/1 -56%) So Majestic |
25/1(-56%) | (4) So Majestic 25/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Bellewstown (5f, good, 7/1). Off 171 days. Hood back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Dual turf winner hasn't shone in two starts here and is coming back after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (6/1 +8%) Sam's Xpress |
6/1(+8%) | (6) Sam's Xpress 6/1, C&D winner. Fair fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 7 days ago. Enters calculations. Dual course winner weakened after a break over C&D last week; can run well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (18/1 -50%) Cuban Grey |
18/1(-50%) | (8) Cuban Grey 18/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 17/2) 51 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Mike Murphy & Michael Keady. Cheekpieces back on and not ruled out. Two wins in UK incl' AW and consistent enough; could run well on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (8/1 +60%) Adams Barbour |
8/1(+60%) | (12) Adams Barbour 8/1, 5-time C&D winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f) 2 days ago. Three-time course winner has dropped a long way in the handicap but needs a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (33/1 -32%) Hezahunk |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Hezahunk 33/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Eleventh of 14 in claimer at this course (7f, 33/1) 14 days ago. Down in trip. Something to find on form. Maiden has run well at times but was poor in a claimer last time so has to rebound. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (10/1 -67%) Livingston Range |
10/1(-67%) | (3) Livingston Range 10/1, Course winner. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (20/1) at this course (6f) 16 days ago. Can give a good account. Course winner over 6f ran a solid race over that trip last time but has the speed for 5f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (80/1 -142%) Haumea |
80/1(-142%) | (11) Haumea 80/1, First run since leaving Sir Mark Prescott when thirteenth of 14 to Phil's Dream in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 21 days ago. Tough to assess at present. Runner-up on AW final UK start; hit the stalls on debut for this yard; is better than that. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Cuban Grey doesn't have the most appealing of strike-rates but she had been running well before switching stables recently and must be respected, although SAMROGUE, a winner on two of her last three starts, is still fancied to continue her successful partnership with the excellent Oisin McSweeney. Billboa was on target in a maiden over 6f here and is interesting returned to handicaps, while Army Of India is also noted.
SAMROGUE arrives at the top of her game so is fancied to defy a 5 lb rise in the weights and bag a fifth C&D victory having shown a tidy turn of foot to score here last time. Billboa is feared most on the back of his own course success, with Livingston Range and Sam's Xpress also firmly in the picture in an open handicap.
Preference is for handicap debutant BILLBOA who beat a subsequent winner over 6f in a maiden but should have the speed for this trip.

1st (1) (8/11 +78%) Ransom |
8/11(+78%) | (1) Ransom 8/11, Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. Respectable third of 13 in C&D handicap 7 days ago. Should give a good account dropped into a claimer. Without a win for over a year but running consistently in defeat and sets a good standard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (22/1 -120%) May Night |
22/1(-120%) | (10) May Night 22/1, 25/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Has struggled to make an impact in Ireland despite a falling handicap mark from 7f to 1m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) (16/1 -33%) Allo Arry |
16/1(-33%) | (12) Allo Arry 16/1, Fair gelding. Tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 7 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Back down to his last winning mark now and tried in a visor but others more likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (14/1 +0%) Fleetfootsoldier |
14/1(+0%) | (3) Fleetfootsoldier 14/1, Fair gelding. C&D winner. Three wins from 8 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Two-time winner on this surface; could struggle to make an impact under these conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (4/1 +33%) Notforalongtime |
4/1(+33%) | (5) Notforalongtime 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here (7f) in December. Respectable second of 14 in claimer at this course (7f, 13/2) 14 days ago. Should be in the thick of things again. Two of his wins here have come over this trip and every chance that he can make an impact. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (9/1 +10%) Snag It |
9/1(+10%) | (6) Snag It 9/1, Fair gelding. Course winner. Latest win here in November. Good second of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 11/1) 14 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Back down in trip. Better over 1m2f; likely to make a bold bid from the front but likely to fall short. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (9/1 -80%) Pierre Lapin |
9/1(-80%) | (2) Pierre Lapin 9/1, Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (9/2) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Nothing like the horse he was but has found plenty of excuses not to win as well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 -100%) Chica Power |
16/1(-100%) | (7) Chica Power 16/1, Fair mare. Course winner. 10/3, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 16 days ago. Best form is over 7f; despite the attractive rider booking, she looks set for a minor role. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (100/1 -52%) Man Is King |
100/1(-52%) | (13) Man Is King 100/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Sixth of 13 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 35 days ago, slowly away. Easy to look elsewhere. Moderate maiden rated 42 and has a mountain to climb here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (11) (125/1 -25%) Maestro Stick |
125/1(-25%) | (11) Maestro Stick 125/1, Modest gelding. Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f). Off 100 days. Recent form provides little encouragement and sharply up against it on ratings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (33/1 -891%) Tai Sing Yeh |
33/1(-891%) | (4) Tai Sing Yeh 33/1, Fairly useful gelding. Below form fourth of 10 in claimer (3/1) at this course (6f), unable to sustain effort. Off 100 days. Significantly back up in trip. Booking of Keane a plus. Good chance on these terms if back to his best. Has not tackled this trip for a while but does stay and the rider booking an obvious plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (200/1 -100%) Lightupthesky |
200/1(-100%) | (9) Lightupthesky 200/1, Modest filly. 125/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f). Off 119 days. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Plenty to find on form. Modest sort rated a meagre 37 so lots on at the weights here; cheekpieces tried. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The booking of champion jockey Colin Keane aboard TAI SING YEH would appear to signal a statement of intent. The admirable 10-year-old has stamina to prove at this trip, but recent performances would suggest a return to the mile might hold the key to James McAuley's veteran. Notforalongtime has been running well in similar events of late and appeals as a likely candidate. Pierre Lapin isn't the force of old, but he ought to be more than capable at this level.
TAI SING YEH had gone off the boil when last seen in November but is a classy sort for claiming level if a 3-month break has had a reviving effect. Ransom has been placed twice in handicaps here in recent weeks and is second choice ahead of Laura Hourigan's Notforalongtime.
A good standard here is set by RANSOM, who has been running very consistently and has race conditions in his favour

1st (2) (6/1 +50%) Badda Bing |
6/1(+50%) | (2) Badda Bing 6/1, €8,000 foal, €26,000 yearling, City Light colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 1m Jet Setteuse and 1m-1¼m winner Caramelito, both useful in France. Bred to have a future and needs checking out in the betting on debut. Potentially interesting debutant and not one to dismiss by any means. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/5 +47%) Al Mudhaffar |
4/5(+47%) | (1) Al Mudhaffar 4/5, 145,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 9.5f winner Nuwaies and half-brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Don Diego de Vega, both in France. Interesting newcomer. Cost 145,00Gns as a yearling and will not have to be a star to land this on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (20/1 -100%) Armada Rising |
20/1(-100%) | (13) Armada Rising 20/1, €30,000 foal, €30,000 yearling, 3,000 gns 2-y-o, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Havana Rum. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 7f winner Hunt. The betting should guide to expectations. Good mix of speed and stamina in her pedigree; could well be capable of a big run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (3/1 -100%) Hoover Dam |
3/1(-100%) | (7) Hoover Dam 3/1, Thrice-raced colt. Second of 14 in maiden (22/1) at this C&D 35 days ago. Getting better with each recent run. Touched off late by a Joseph O'Brien newcomer over C&D last month; should not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (5/1 +29%) Enniscoffee |
5/1(+29%) | (14) Enniscoffee 5/1, Showed a bit when fifth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (66/1) on debut 70 days ago. Caught the eye when a staying fifth in a C&D maiden in December; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (125/1 -150%) Highland Mist |
125/1(-150%) | (6) Highland Mist 125/1, Twice-raced gelding. Seventh of 10 in maiden (125/1) at this course (10.7f) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Soundly beaten in two maidens and needs this for a mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (33/1 -175%) Dark Blue Diamond |
33/1(-175%) | (3) Dark Blue Diamond 33/1, Once-raced gelding. Eighth of 14 in maiden (25/1) at this course (7f) on debut 21 days ago. Showed some promise in a 7f maiden here last month; step up to 1m should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (125/1 -279%) Hanoi |
125/1(-279%) | (5) Hanoi 125/1, Twice-raced colt. 80/1, first run since leaving Josh Halley when ninth of 13 in maiden at this C&D 14 days ago. Well beaten in two maidens, most recently on his stable debut here two weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (150/1 -50%) Stall The Ball |
150/1(-50%) | (9) Stall The Ball 150/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 125/1, seventh of 8 in claimer at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft). Off 151 days. First run for yard after leaving Joseph Anthony Murray. Debuts for the Mulvany yard here; unlikely player but could be worth watching. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (4) (50/1 -100%) Galway Man |
50/1(-100%) | (4) Galway Man 50/1, Raa Atoll colt. Dam unraced. Hoover Dam looks the stable first strong unless the betting hints otherwise. Bred to appreciate further and looks an unlikely player here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (150/1 -50%) The Man Above |
150/1(-50%) | (10) The Man Above 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. Tenth of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft, 150/1). Off 7 months. Beat one rival in two starts on turf last summer; makes no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (8) (150/1 -200%) Solar Drive |
150/1(-200%) | (8) Solar Drive 150/1, Once-raced gelding. 40/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at this C&D on debut 14 days ago. Down the field on debut here two weeks ago; likely to fare better in handicaps later. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (40/1 -100%) Ulfhada |
40/1(-100%) | (12) Ulfhada 40/1, £30,000 yearling, Showcasing colt. Dam, Swedish 6f winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Powerful Breeze. Newcomer with some good winners in his family; best watched though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Having been narrowly denied over track and trip last month, Hoover Dam merits the utmost respect, but a chance can be taken on newcomer AL MUDHAFFAR. A son of Wootton Bassett and a relative of two above-average types, the 145,000gns purchase might not need to be anything out of the ordinary to strike first time, for all that a wide draw is far from ideal. Enniscoffee displayed signs of ability on her racecourse bow and could be thereabouts given natural improvement.
If HOOVER DAM can continue his trend for race-on-race progression he might be able to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Joseph O'Brien newcomer Al Mudhaffar would rate a big danger if the betting suggests he's fancied. Badda Bing is another debutant who makes some paper appeal.
The choice is Carriganog newcomer AL MUDHAFFAR, a 145,000Gns yearling who won't have to be a superstar to land this on debut

1st (7) (7/1 +22%) Winemaker |
7/1(+22%) | (7) Winemaker 7/1, 6/1, respectable fourth of 14 in claimer at this C&D 14 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt. Three solid runs over this trip last thrice; each-way claims again from an inside draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (7/2 -17%) James Henry |
7/2(-17%) | (3) James Henry 7/2, Off the mark over C&D in December and followed up in 14-runner handicap at this course (6f) 31 days ago. 5 lb higher now but another bold bid is anticipated. On a hat-trick mission here after recent course successes over 7f and 6f; only up 9lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 +27%) Macadam's Rock |
4/1(+27%) | (4) Macadam's Rock 4/1, Bounced back to best when taking 13-runner handicap (16/1) over C&D 28 days ago by length from Mullacash Buzz. Remains feasibly treated and is one for shortlist. Up 8lb for last win but might have some progression in him and unlikely to be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (14/1 -75%) Skontonovski |
14/1(-75%) | (2) Skontonovski 14/1, 6-time course winner. Latest win here in November. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 8/1) 14 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. A rare poor outing here over 1m two weeks ago but that was after a little break; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (20/1 -82%) Bucky Larson |
20/1(-82%) | (11) Bucky Larson 20/1, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 15/2) 21 days ago. Work to do. Three-time C&D winner; had been running well in defeat before poor C&D run last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (50/1 +0%) Un Bacio Ancora |
50/1(+0%) | (14) Un Bacio Ancora 50/1, Course winner. One win from 31 Flat runs. 40/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 7 days ago, missing break. Difficult ask. Won a claimer here in November but nothing to recommend since and makes no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (40/1 -186%) Bungle Inthedesert |
40/1(-186%) | (12) Bungle Inthedesert 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at this C&D 21 days ago. Improvement required on handicap debut. Promise in maidens; poorly drawn but would not appear badly treated on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (11/2 +31%) Mere Accountant |
11/2(+31%) | (5) Mere Accountant 11/2, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 13/2) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Enters calculations. Consistent in handicaps on turf and AW without winning; cheekpieces tried here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (16/1 +0%) Jalo |
16/1(+0%) | (13) Jalo 16/1, Course winner. Winner here in September. Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Not beaten far in a couple of handicaps of late but work to do here from a bad draw. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (14/1 +0%) El Bello |
14/1(+0%) | (1) El Bello 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 20/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 16 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Only dropped 1lb for a sub-standard effort over 1m2f last time; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (10/3 +39%) Mullacash Buzz |
10/3(+39%) | (8) Mullacash Buzz 10/3, Bagged fourth success over this C&D winner in November and backed that up when length second of 13 to Macadam's Rock in handicap here 28 days ago. Likely to go well again. Weighted to turn tables with Macadam's Rock from their meeting here last month; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (125/1 -150%) Penguin Island |
125/1(-150%) | (10) Penguin Island 125/1, Last of 8 in handicap (100/1) at this course (5f) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Hard to fancy. Has failed to beat a single rival in three starts for her current stable; no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (20/1 -67%) Akmaam |
20/1(-67%) | (6) Akmaam 20/1, Course winner. Seventeenth of 19 in handicap (7/1) at the Curragh (8f, soft). Off 132 days. Claims on best form. Turf form last year overall disappointing but did win over C&D last March; best watched. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The key to this race might be last month's clash over C&D between Macadam's Rock (first) and MULLACASH BUZZ (second), and it is the latter who is favoured on this occasion due to a kinder draw in stall four. The six-year-old has run off higher in the past and clearly gets on well with Jack Cleary. Macadam's Rock is an obvious danger, while Oriental Dancer and the hat-trick-seeking James Henry are just a couple more who have to enter the equation.
JAMES HENRY arrives in the form of his life and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Macadam's Rock and Mullacash Buzz head the list of dangers.
Preference is for MULLACASH BUZZ, who hardly runs a bad race here and can turn tables on Macadam's Rock from their clash last month

1st (4) (11/4 +45%) Ohailbhic |
11/4(+45%) | (4) Ohailbhic 11/4, Twice-raced colt. Improved on debut effort when fifth of 10 in minor event (6/1) over C&D 31 days ago, not knocked about. Should be more to come. Improved on his second start over C&D last month; others preferred in a stronger maiden. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (4/1 -45%) Miss Black Jack |
4/1(-45%) | (7) Miss Black Jack 4/1, Lightly-raced filly. Creditable second of 8 in maiden (11/2) at Newcastle (7.1f), no match for winner. Off 143 days. Merits consideration on polytrack debut. Showed ability against a couple of nice sorts in maidens last year; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4/1 -45%) Staysound Susie |
4/1(-45%) | (8) Staysound Susie 4/1, Found improvement when third of 13 in nursery at Naas (5.9f, soft) in October. Makes polytrack debut. Hood on first time. Sets the bar pretty high. Excellent third in the Birdcatcher Nursery at Naas on soft to heavy; acts on any ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (3/1 +40%) Late Night Talking |
3/1(+40%) | (3) Late Night Talking 3/1, Lightly-raced gelding. Posted another solid effort when third of 13 in maiden at this course (8f, 4/1) 14 days ago. Back down in trip. Ought to go well again. Didn't get home over 1m here two weeks ago so 6f may well suit; cheekpieces retained. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (9/2 +10%) Genesis |
9/2(+10%) | (1) Genesis 9/2, Once-raced gelding. Fifth of 14 in maiden (8/1) at this course (7f) on debut 21 days ago. Likely has more to offer. Drop to 6f should suit and looks well capable of getting into the money. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (40/1 -60%) Whatswrongnow |
40/1(-60%) | (5) Whatswrongnow 40/1, Twice-raced gelding. Seventh of 8 in minor event (40/1) at this course (7f) 7 days ago, not knocked about. Improvement required. Not beaten far in a maiden and a rated race here; drops in trip but plenty more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (125/1 -279%) Enola Nation |
125/1(-279%) | (6) Enola Nation 125/1, Once-raced filly. Tongue strap on, last of 8 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 40/1) on debut. Off 167 days. Last of eight in a Navan maiden in September on his only start; hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (16/1 -100%) Happy Henry |
16/1(-100%) | (2) Happy Henry 16/1, Bungle Inthejungle gelding. Half-brother to 7f/1m winner Swinging Sixties. Dam 5f-6f winner. Market check advised on debut. Quite speedily bred and no real surprise if he was able to make a mark here on debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MISS BLACK JACK seems to have improved with every start and her most recent effort last September across the water at Newcastle marked a career best. The daughter of Soldier's Call must hold every chance if building upon that effort, with the relatively consistent Staysound Susie looking best placed to chase her home. Not beaten far on each of his two career outings here, Ohailbhic is a key player as well.
STAYSOUND SUSIE finished with running left when a good third at Naas in October and is taken to open her account here. Ohailbhic and Late Night Talking rate the principal dangers.
The one to beat may be STAYSOUND SUSIE, who acted on any ground last season and ended with a fine third in the Birdcatcher Nursery

1st (3) (7/1 -75%) Bruce Lightning |
7/1(-75%) | (3) Bruce Lightning 7/1, Good fourth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 35 days ago. Looks competitive on form. A solid effort on handicap debut over C&D and should run well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/2 +13%) Mary Shoelaces |
7/2(+13%) | (4) Mary Shoelaces 7/2, Good third of 10 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 35 days ago, not ideally placed. Can give a good account. Has been in the frame on her last four starts here and should run well again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/4 +61%) Coulstar |
11/4(+61%) | (5) Coulstar 11/4, Thrice-raced maiden who posted a creditable fifth of 8 in maiden (15/2) at this course (5f) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut and needs considering. Solid runs in a conditions race and maiden here lately; should go well on h'cap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (66/1 -230%) Sophia Klimt |
66/1(-230%) | (8) Sophia Klimt 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 125/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Has work to do. Not beaten far in a C&D handicap last time but has to find more even off 4lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (10/3 +39%) Smart Impression |
10/3(+39%) | (1) Smart Impression 10/3, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Michael McCullagh when good fourth of 8 in maiden (11/2) at this course (5f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Much respected on her handicap debut. Improved run in a 5f maiden on stable debut after a break; can improve from that; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (16/1 +36%) Hispanolita |
16/1(+36%) | (7) Hispanolita 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, tenth of 11 in nursery at this C&D. Off 100 days. Others more persuasive. Has shown ability but was poor over C&D last time and has to rebound after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (16/5 -60%) The Poacher Daly |
16/5(-60%) | (2) The Poacher Daly 16/5, Lightly-raced maiden. 9/2, excellent second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Up 3 lb but still has to be taken seriously. Just denied on handicap debut over C&D and should be bang there again off 3lb higher. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This can go the way of THE POACHER DALY, who showed marked improvement on his handicap debut over C&D last month when beaten less than a length into second. Behind him on that occasion was Mary Shoelaces (third), who has over a length to find with Joseph O'Brien's colt but is 3lb better off, while Bruce Lightning was hot on their heels in fourth and should be in the mix as well.
THE POACHER DALY took his form up a level on his handicap bow when runner-up over C&D and looks weighted to go one better despite taking a 3 lb rise for that fine effort. Bruce Lightning came home a couple of places behind Joseph O'Brien's colt that day and rates the main danger ahead of in-form pair Mary Shoelaces and Coulstar.
SMART IMPRESSION might be able to improve enough from her stable debut after a break which came over 5f last time.

4/9(+78%) | (2) How About No 4/9, Promising sort. 9/4, sixth of 15 in maiden at Navan (14f, heavy) on debut. Off 121 days. Likely to improve and should be up to opening his account at the second attempt. Solid debut turf run; commands major respect for yard that is doing well at this venue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (11/4 -69%) Sea Wave |
11/4(-69%) | (13) Sea Wave 11/4, Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 14 in maiden (12/1) at this course (10.7f) 35 days ago. Could take another step forward, so merits respect. Fourth in a 1m2f maiden last time; should stay this longer trip and be a factor. |

40/1(-100%) | (3) Hungry Rock 40/1, €8,000 yearling, Elzaam gelding. Dam maiden half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Squats. Worth a market check. Yard produced a smart maiden winner by this sire in 2021; worth a market check. |

7th (4) (6/1 -80%) Scatchwah |
6/1(-80%) | (4) Scatchwah 6/1, Twice-raced gelding. Eighth of 14 in maiden at this course (10.7f, 6/4) 35 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Debut was promising and he's not one to write off. Decent debut turf run; never involved here on return after a slow start; can do better. |

50/1(-150%) | (8) Kiss My Lucky Egg 50/1, Once-raced mare on Flat. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 28/1) 87 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing. Bumper winner; modest run on sole Flat start and has loads to find. |

150/1(-355%) | (6) Ash Court 150/1, Court Cave mare. Dam winning hurdler. Doesn't make much appeal on paper. Jumps-bred mare is best watched for future reference. |

150/1(+25%) | (9) Lough Alina 150/1, Thrice-raced mare. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, good to soft, 150/1). Off 7 months. Significantly back up in trip. Well beaten in three maidens over various trips; best to wait for handicaps. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SEA WAVE arguably brings the best form to the table in this contest after progressing from her debut effort to finish fourth over an extended 1m2f here last month. The daughter of Sea The Stars shaped as if this step up in distance would suit her and she looks the way to go. Plenty was expected from How About No on his first outing at Navan and he could only manage sixth, although he could easily take a big leap forward to get closer. Kiss My Lucky Egg completes the shortlist.
HOW ABOUT NO shaped with plenty of encouragement first time out and should improve enough to land this. Scatchwah and Sea Wave are closely matched with the selection on form but don't have as much potential.
Having been unlucky not to finish closer on debut in a Navan maiden in October, HOW ABOUT NO(nap) should be able to make up for that.

2nd (5) (4/1 +71%) Hasten Slowly |
4/1(+71%) | (5) Hasten Slowly 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. C&D in December; a bit below that level the last twice but his yard is back in form. |

14/1(+58%) | (13) Highland King 14/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 14 days ago. Should strip fitter for latest outing, so not discounted. Regressive in the last year; needs to improve from last run but yard is in form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (16) (40/1 -150%) Spirit Of Paradise |
40/1(-150%) | (16) Spirit Of Paradise 40/1, 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form seventh of 14 in maiden at this course (8f) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Some decent maiden runs last year but became regressive; best watched; reserve. |

14/1(+13%) | (14) Mads Black Eights 14/1, C&D winner. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8f, 20/1) 86 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Matthew J. Smith. Eyeshields on 1st time, blinkers on 1st time , tongue strap back on. Regressive in the last year and the new headgear combination will have to spark a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (9) (14/1 -250%) Victory Star |
14/1(-250%) | (9) Victory Star 14/1, 33/1, first run since leaving John Joseph Hanlon when third of 14 in claimer at this C&D 21 days ago. Worth monitoring in the betting. Third in a C&D claimer last time on debut for this yard; can go well if building upon that. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Dark Street (second) had Barretstown (third) behind by a neck over C&D earlier in the month and they compete on the same terms. Both have leading claims but the vote goes to VICTORY STAR, who made a promising first start for the Kevin Coleman stable when hitting the frame in a claimer over track and trip and he now steps back into handicap company. If the seven-year-old can back that performance up, he ought to go very close.
Having scored here in January, DARK STREET shaped as if still in top form when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago, so he's worth siding with in the hope that the pace is sound. Barretstown and Doctor Grace are the chief dangers.
If VICTORY STAR can improve from his recent third in a claimer then he could get the job done.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
