---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (4) ![]() Bacchanalian |
4/5(+54%) | (4) Bacchanalian 4/5, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Improved from hurdling debut when second of 16 in juvenile at Limerick (16f, soft, 6/1) 16 days ago. Fancied to be in the shake up again. Staying-on second to a more experienced rival at Limerick; definite contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) ![]() Makaiah |
66/1(-164%) | (6) Makaiah 66/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. 200/1 and hooded for 1st time, left hurdling debut effort behind when fourth of 20 in juvenile at Punchestown (16.4f, soft) 11 days ago. Capable of better again. Fourth in a maiden at Punchestown last week; can go well if she settles better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) ![]() Mo Ghille Mar |
7/2(+30%) | (7) Mo Ghille Mar 7/2, Fairly useful on Flat (stays 13f), successful twice in 2024. Faced a stiff task starting out over hurdles at graded level after 10 months off when tailed off in juvenile at Leopardstown (16f, good) recently so will need to leave that well behind. Faced a very onerous task on debut in a Grade 2 at Leopardstown; likely to do better here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) ![]() Butter Fingers |
9/2(+59%) | (1) Butter Fingers 9/2, Totally different proposition for this yard, making a winning hurdling bow prior to landing the odds in 6-runner handicap at Sligo (13.4f, soft) back on the level in August. Returned to hurdling and ran poorly before falling at Down Royal (16.9f, good) later that month and not seen since. Beaten when falling in a Down Royal juvenile hurdle in August last time; hard to assess. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) ![]() Hobart |
40/1(+20%) | (5) Hobart 40/1, Made the frame on second of 2 starts in middle-distance Flat maidens. Stiff task on hurdles bow returning from 8 months off. Down the field in a couple of Flat maidens last spring; up against it on his hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) ![]() Space Warrior |
13/2(+41%) | (2) Space Warrior 13/2, Fair maiden on the Flat who made winning start over hurdles when taking 12-runner juvenile hurdle at this course (16f, good) on in November, getting first run. Tailed off in much deeper waters back here (16.5f, good) just under 6 weeks ago and this more suitable. Ran no race whatsoever in a Grade 3 here last month; capable of significantly better. |
Connections identified WENDROCK as a possible for the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival after he delivered in Leopardstown, and he could land this en route to Prestbury Park. It is notable that he also holds a Grade 1 entry for the Dublin Racing Festival at Leopardstown next month. Bacchanalian kept the favourite honest when second at Limerick over Christmas and there should be a maiden hurdle in him. Space Warrior found life difficult in a Grade 3 at this track, but does have a maiden hurdle success over C&D in the book. Butter Fingers was fancied for his jumping debut at Down Royal, only to fall, so more can be expected from him.
It's hard to get away from WENDROCK, who put his hurdling debut experience to good use when scoring at Leopardstown just over a fortnight ago and Gordon Elliott's can take this before heading to bigger and better things. The main danger looks to be Bacchanalian, who left his initial effort over hurdles behind when finding just one too good at Limerick recently. Butter Fingers can edge out Space Warrior for third.
The selection is BACCHANALIAN, who went close against a more experienced rival at Limerick and can improve enough

![]() Dee's Lady |
(4) 16/1(-14%) | (4) Dee's Lady 16/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in bumper at this course (16.5f, good to soft, 16/1) on NH debut 28 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Weakened late in a fillies' bumper here last month; should do better but best watched here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (12) ![]() Sixandahalf |
2/1(-23%) | (12) Sixandahalf 2/1, Fairly useful winner at 14f on Flat, also successful in a bumper. Much respected on her hurdles debut. Third in the Irish Cesarewitch; ground versatile and looks an exciting recruit to hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) ![]() Qualimita |
10/3(+5%) | (10) Qualimita 10/3, Progressive type who posted an excellent fourth of 20 in novice hurdle (7/2) at Naas (16.2f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Holds very good form claims. Placed in maiden hurdles at Navan and Naas; will get into the frame on that level of form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) ![]() Kimi De Mai |
5/6(+100%) | (7) Kimi De Mai 5/6, Completed a hat-trick in 8-runner bumper at Vichy (12.9f, soft, 11/10) 7 months ago for Bruno Audouin. Interesting hurdling recruit for top yard. Triple bumper winner in France last spring; clearly of interest on her Irish/hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) ![]() Stretchemout |
33/1(-65%) | (13) Stretchemout 33/1, €16,000 3-y-o, £30,000 4-y-o, Kingston Hill mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Name In Lights. Successful in a point in October so considered starting out in this sphere for leading yard. Point winner in October; debuts for Gordon Elliott here and an interesting runner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) ![]() Telnobody |
250/1(+0%) | (14) Telnobody 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fell 3rd in novice hurdle at Down Royal (20.1f, good to soft, 150/1) 16 days ago. Lots to find on form. Mid-division in a pair of Navan maiden hurdles before falling early at Down Royal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) ![]() Daisy Fingall |
12/1(-9%) | (3) Daisy Fingall 12/1, €54,000 3-y-o, Policy Maker mare. Sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chaser Brookie, and half-sister to useful hurdler/high-class chaser Captain Guinness. Noteworthy newcomer. Nicely bred newcomer; probably best watched but worth monitoring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) ![]() Lauro Lady |
250/1(+0%) | (9) Lauro Lady 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventeenth of 20 in novice hurdle at Naas (16.2f, good to soft, 250/1) 26 days ago. Has shown little in four starts and makes no appeal here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) ![]() She's Got Gears |
200/1(0%) | (11) She's Got Gears 200/1, Lucky Speed mare. Half-sister to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser Away At Dawn and fair 19f/2½m hurdle winner Easy To Follow. Fourth in a point so she's no forlorn hope now going hurdling. Modest level of form in two point-to-points; much more needed here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (17) ![]() Yoursimplythebest |
250/1(+0%) | (17) Yoursimplythebest 250/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1, twenty second of 23 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. Soundly beaten in a bumper and a maiden hurdle; safe to put a line through. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (6) ![]() Gino Bella |
33/1(-50%) | (6) Gino Bella 33/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 7/1, third of 10 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 65 days ago. Needs to build on it. Decent effort when third on her hurdles debut at Clonmel in November; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) ![]() Kinturk Maggie |
50/1(-25%) | (8) Kinturk Maggie 50/1, Kingston Hill mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Kinturk Kalanisi. Dam, fair maiden hurdler (stayed 2¾m), sister to useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Grand Theatre. Wears tongue strap. Stoutly bred newcomer is probably best watched but worth a market check nonetheless. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (16) ![]() Walk In The Sea |
200/1(-100%) | (16) Walk In The Sea 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 33/1 and hooded for 1st time, well-held fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. Has shown ability in a bumper and a maiden hurdle; much more needed here though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) ![]() Unique Frequency |
250/1(-25%) | (15) Unique Frequency 250/1, Once-raced maiden. First run since leaving James M. Barrett when fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle at this course (16.5f, soft, 100/1) on NH debut 10 days ago. Beaten out of sight in a conditions hurdle here last week when jumping poorly; no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) ![]() Estamour |
250/1(-25%) | (5) Estamour 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1 and tongue strap on, eighth of 11 in bumper at Punchestown (15.8f, good) on NH debut 88 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Not a factor in a mares' bumper at Punchestown in October; makes little appeal here. |
KIMI DE MAI is already being quoted for the Mares' Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and looks likely to be an above-average recruit for Willie Mullins. She won three times on the level in her native France. Sixandahalf also has quotes beside her name for the same Cheltenham contest. She was good enough to finish third in the Irish Cesarewitch at the Curragh in September and is intriguing on her first crack at hurdles. Daisy Fingall makes her debut for Henry de Bromhead and is a half-sister to the yard's leading chaser Captain Guinness. She adds further depth along with Gordon Elliott's Qualimita, who showed up nicely in two hurdles races.
The market should reveal plenty but Willie Mullins' French recruit KIMI DE MAI showed some fairly useful form when bagging three bumpers in the spring and is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's Qualimita rates much the pick of those with hurdling experience and seems sure to be on the premises, while other newcomers to note are Daisy Fingall, Sixandahalf and Stretchemout in this intriguing maiden.
The proven bumper form and even better Flat form of SIXANDAHALF make her a potentially exciting recruit and she can land this

1st (1) ![]() King Alexander |
15/8(-15%) | (1) King Alexander 15/8, Three-time winner over hurdles for Nicky Henderson. Off 7 months. Can make a winning start for top yard. Interesting recruit to Willie Mullins' team and this looks a reasonable opportunity. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) ![]() Fortunedefortunata |
5/1(+17%) | (2) Fortunedefortunata 5/1, Fourteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (23.4f, good, 17/2) 14 days ago, not ideally placed. Can bounce back. Upped in trip of late; claims at his best but could use some leeway from the handicapper. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) ![]() Attaboyarchie |
8/1(+27%) | (8) Attaboyarchie 8/1, 16/1, fifth of 8 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, soft) 13 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Not disgraced in a Navan maiden hurdle and a Limerick novice hurdle; more needed here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) ![]() Sir Bob |
18/1(-29%) | (5) Sir Bob 18/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, good to soft, 66/1) 27 days ago. Blinkers back on. Well beaten in two handicap hurdles since returning in November and best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) ![]() So They Tell Me |
11/4(+45%) | (7) So They Tell Me 11/4, 1 win from 2 runs this season. 15/2, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.5f, good to soft) 164 days ago, tailed off when pulled up after eighth. Others more persuasive. Not seen since a very poor run at the Galway festival; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) ![]() Carrig Sam |
40/1(-100%) | (3) Carrig Sam 40/1, Course winner. First run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when 33/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (20.6f, heavy). Off 10 months. Not seen since pulling up in a handicap hurdle here 11 months ago; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) ![]() Where's Frankie |
15/2(-25%) | (9) Where's Frankie 15/2, C&D winner. 28/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Navan (25f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Well beaten over hurdles on return at Navan last month but can improve from that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) ![]() Walhaan |
18/1(-50%) | (4) Walhaan 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, creditable fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, good) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Stamina to prove. Going very much into unknown territory here in terms of trip; has a chance if he stays. |
WAITTILLITELLYOU has each-way prospects on his return to action for Edward Cawley. He is a lightly-raced sort who performed with credit in fourth in this race last year after an absence of more than nine months. He has a similar layoff to overcome, but his stable is showing some form. King Alexander has joined Willie Mullins from Nicky Henderson, for whom he won four times. He is up in trip and is dangerous, especially if strong in the market. This is a drop in class from the handicap hurdles that Fortunedefortunata has been running in and he is likely to have a say for Gordon Elliott and Danny Gilligan.
KING ALEXANDER disappointed on his final run for Nicky Henderson but he was generally progressive for that yard and can make a winning start for Willie Mullins. Fortunedefortunata and Waittillitellyou head the dangers.
The choice is top weight KING ALEXANDER on his first run for Willie Mullins. He looks to have been found a reasonable opportunity

1st (12) ![]() The King Of Prs |
11/2(+15%) | (12) The King Of Prs 11/2, Creditable third of 12 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft, 11/2) 16 days ago. Fancied to go well again. Beaten less than a length in two competitive handicap chases; go close if he can reproduce. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) ![]() Path D'oroux |
10/1(0%) | (4) Path D'oroux 10/1, Latest win in chase at Cheltenham in October. Third of 4 in minor event chase at Carlisle (15.9f, good to soft, 5/1) 61 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Ran okay in a conditions contest at Carlisle in November; has the ability to get involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) ![]() Midnight It Is |
7/1(+22%) | (9) Midnight It Is 7/1, C&D winner. 10/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Navan (16f, good to soft) 27 days ago, readily. Good shout once more. Up 12lb for his Navan win and deserves his shot in a race like this; likely to go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) ![]() American Mike |
5/1(-11%) | (2) American Mike 5/1, Five wins from 16 NH runs. 7/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap chase at this course (17f, good) 42 days ago. Not taken lightly. Improved effort in a similar contest over C&D in November when jumping let him down late. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) ![]() Captains Nephew |
13/2(+74%) | (10) Captains Nephew 13/2, Course winner. 28/1, respectable seventh of 19 in handicap chase at Navan (20.7f, soft) 35 days ago. Not completely dismissed. Solid effort after six months off in a Listed at Navan last month; will come on for that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) ![]() Rebel Gold |
18/1(+10%) | (7) Rebel Gold 18/1, C&D winner. 13/2, creditable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, good) 21 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Worthy of respect. Struggled a bit to find his best form this season including over hurdles; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) ![]() Must Be Obeyed |
14/1(+58%) | (11) Must Be Obeyed 14/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 28/1, bit below form eighth of 19 in handicap chase at Navan (20.7f, soft) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive. No win for two years and dropping back to this trip is an unknown; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) ![]() Lets Go Champ |
6/1(+40%) | (6) Lets Go Champ 6/1, Latest win in chase at Punchestown in May. 15/2, creditable third of 15 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) 56 days ago. Well respected. Every chance that dropping back to this trip will suit and could be a big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) ![]() Ha D'or |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Ha D'or 18/1, Course winner. 6/1, possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (21.3f, soft). Off 13 months. Worth monitoring in the betting returning from an absence. Jumping had been letting him down when last seen; best watched after 14 months off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) ![]() Hunters Yarn |
9/2(+10%) | (1) Hunters Yarn 9/2, C&D winner. Well-beaten sixth of 8 to Energumene in Hilly Way Chase at Cork (16.7f, good to soft, 16/1) 34 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Should be sharper for return and makes appeal. Jumped poorly on his reappearance in the Hilly Way at Cork; should go better here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) ![]() Fils D'oudairies |
10/1(0%) | (8) Fils D'oudairies 10/1, 32¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Brighterdaysahead in December Hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 200/1) 13 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Could make presence felt from an appealing mark if his jumping holds up. Ran okay in the Grade 1 Neville Hotels Hurdle at Leopardstown; could play a hand. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) ![]() The Banger Doyle |
33/1(-136%) | (3) The Banger Doyle 33/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. 33½ lengths fifth of 8 to Energumene in Hilly Way Chase at Cork (16.7f, good to soft, 80/1) 34 days ago. Something to find on form. Ran probably as well as expected in the Hilly Way at Cork; each-way chance at best. |
HUNTERS YARN is the class angle in his first handicap. He didn't figure on his seasonal reappearance in the Grade 2 Hilly Way at Cork last month, but should relish this company. It was just three runs back that he beat one of his main rivals, Path D'oroux, by 10 lengths in a beginners' chase at this track. Path D'oroux is one of three Gavin Cromwell representatives, with his Midnight It Is looking upwardly mobile after successes at this racecourse and in Navan. American Mike dropped back to this trip at this venue in November and finished third, so is capable of a good run. Fils D'oudairies bids to exploit a much lower chase mark in relation to his hurdles rating and isn't out of it.
MIDNIGHT IT IS scored on his final outing last season and hit the ground running on return when bolting up at Navan last month, so he's worth a chance to complete the hat-trick for all that this is a tougher assignment. His stablemate The King of Prs is a threat along with Lets Go Champ.
The selection is LETS GO CHAMP(nap) after a cracking effort in the Paddy Power Gold Cup. He could well appreciate this drop in trip

![]() What's Up Darling |
(11) 10/1(-43%) | (11) What's Up Darling 10/1, Promising sort who improved on chase debut form when very good second of 13 in novice at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft, 15/2) 15 days ago. Remains open to improvement. Runner-up to shock 150-1 winner at Leopardstown latest back down in trip; enters the chat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (6) ![]() Mistergif |
7/2(+56%) | (6) Mistergif 7/2, Useful hurdler. Creditable second of 14 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft, evens). Off 8 months. Interesting recruit to chasing. 2nd at Punchestown when sent off a warm order when last seen; big player on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) ![]() Tullyhill |
6/4(+100%) | (9) Tullyhill 6/4, Matched best hurdles form at first time of asking in this sphere when second of 10 in novice chase (3/1) at this course (16.5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Looks sure to progress and is the choice of Paul Townend. Half a length in front of Asian Master over C&D on return last month; leading contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) ![]() Asian Master |
13/8(+35%) | (2) Asian Master 13/8, Winning pointer who made a promising return to larger obstacles (finished fourth in hunter for previous yard) when third of 10 in novice chase at this course (16.5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Likely more to come yet. Behind Majborough and Tullyhill on return over C&D; entitled to improve for the run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) ![]() Westport Cove |
16/1(-14%) | (10) Westport Cove 16/1, Useful hurdler. Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Fourth of 8 in novice chase (9/2) at Tipperary (16.4f, soft) on debut over fences 50 days ago. Likely capable of better in this sphere. Related to some smart chasers and entitled to come on for chasing bow fourth at Tipperary. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) ![]() Harry Des Ongrais |
40/1(-100%) | (4) Harry Des Ongrais 40/1, Useful hurdler. 40/1, 23¾ lengths seventh of 9 to Gaelic Warrior in War of Attrition Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (23.8f, good to soft). Off 20 months. Likely best watched on return/chase debut. Well behind Gaelic Warrior in 3m Grade 1 at Punchestown 626 days ago; market will guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) ![]() Antrim Coast |
28/1(-155%) | (1) Antrim Coast 28/1, Useful hurdler. 1 win from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 8-runner minor event hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft, 5/6). Off 7 months. Drop in trip not ideal on chase debut. Absence to overcome on chasing debut and might not possess the gears for this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) ![]() Kazakh D'arthel |
200/1(0%) | (13) Kazakh D'arthel 200/1, Fair hurdler. 17/2, fifth of 11 in novice chase at Tramore (15.5f, heavy) 10 days ago. Plenty on plate in this company. Showed promise in a Listowel maiden hurdle but has gone the wrong way since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) ![]() In The Trenches |
200/1(+0%) | (12) In The Trenches 200/1, Fair hurdler. 150/1, twelfth of 13 in novice chase at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Faces a stiff task. 107-rated hurdler 0-12 in that sphere and was beaten out of sight in a pair of beginners'. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) ![]() Shanbally Kid |
66/1(-100%) | (8) Shanbally Kid 66/1, Useful hurdler. Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Eleventh of 13 in novice chase (33/1) at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Work to do. Poor in two chase starts this season; may do better but his jumping will need to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) ![]() Lisnagar Fortune |
10/1(-25%) | (5) Lisnagar Fortune 10/1, Useful hurdler. Career best when winning 22-runner maiden hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, soft, 10/11) when last seen 12 months ago. Appeals as the type to make his mark as a chaser and is worth monitoring in the market. Chasing debutant won a Punchestown maiden hurdle latest and clearly has plenty of talent. |

11th (3) ![]() Catch The Beast |
200/1(-300%) | (3) Catch The Beast 200/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Punchestown in December 2023. Good fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Cork (19f, heavy). Off 9 months. Up against it on chase debut here. Won a Punchestown handicap in December 2023; out of his depth on return; chasing debut. |

12th (7) ![]() Nancy Miles |
300/1(-20%) | (7) Nancy Miles 300/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (19.5f, good to soft, 150/1) 26 days ago. Hard to fancy on chase debut. 85-rated hurdler is 0-7 under rules and is impossible to fancy in a field of this nature. |
Willie Mullins is due to saddle six horses in this race and TULLYHILL could prove best of them. He finished second on chasing debut here without landing a blow on the winner, but that horse (stablemate Majborough) is now odds-on favourite for the Irish Arkle at the Dublin Racing Festival. Tullyhill is the choice of Paul Townend. Asian Master was just half a length behind Tullyhill in third, so is entitled to be well involved. Lisnagar Fortune is of interest after putting it all together to win well over flights in Punchestown almost a year ago. What's Up Darling has had two spins over fences and should have more horses behind him than in front of him.
TULLYHILL long appealed as the type to flourish over the larger obstacles and duly made an encouraging chase debut here last month. With improvement anticipated, he is taken to open his account in this discipline. Asian Master and What's Up Darling rate the principal dangers in what should prove an informative contest.
Willie Mullins has won this race seven times since 2015 and MISTERGIF might be the best of his sextet here.

1st (3) ![]() Noble Birth |
11/4(-10%) | (3) Noble Birth 11/4, Fairly useful chaser. 11/1, good third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good) 56 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has to be taken seriously. In front approaching the last when 3rd at Cheltenham when last seen; should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) ![]() Banjaxed |
7/1(-40%) | (4) Banjaxed 7/1, Fairly useful chaser who confirmed earlier promise with victory in 12-runner novice chase at Cork (21.2f, soft, 4/1) 29 days ago, driven out. Should go well again. Fortunate 2m5f chase winner at Cork last month; respected but will need to improve again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) ![]() Verdant Place |
3/1(+14%) | (6) Verdant Place 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler who produced his best effort to date in this sphere when winning 12-runner handicap chase at Navan (24f, good to soft) 27 days ago, driven out. Should be competitive again. Off the mark over fences when well-backed for Navan handicap latest; possibilities again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) ![]() Bleu D'enfer |
4/1(-14%) | (7) Bleu D'enfer 4/1, Fairly useful chaser. Good second of 15 in novice chase at Clonmel (17.3f, soft, 9/1) 39 days ago, travelling best. Player back up in trip. Beaten a short head at Clonmel (17.5f, yielding) latest & the step up in trip should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) ![]() Enjoy The Dream |
10/1(-11%) | (2) Enjoy The Dream 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler who build on chasing debut promise at the second attempt in a first-time tongue strap when runner-up in 7-runner maiden (8/1) at Limerick (17.7f, soft) 16 days ago. Needs considering up in trip. Grade 2 hurdle winner; 2nd at Limerick during Christmas; first try at this sort of trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) ![]() Lightkeeper |
18/1(-50%) | (8) Lightkeeper 18/1, Fairly useful hurdler who was brought down at the second in novice chase at Down Royal (20.6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Behind Banjaxed when 4th at Cork; 4lb pull in the weights; latest effort can be forgiven. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) ![]() Undeniable Alibi |
17/2(-31%) | (5) Undeniable Alibi 17/2, Fairly useful hurdler who went backwards from chasing bow when sixth of 15 in novice chase at Clonmel (17.3f, soft) 39 days ago. Up in trip. Got chasing experience in a rated race at Punchestown but disappointed at Clonmel since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) ![]() Spirit Of Legend |
14/1(-27%) | (1) Spirit Of Legend 14/1, Useful hurdler. Hooded for 1st time, respectable fifth of 9 in novice chase (22/1) at this course (21f, good to soft) 28 days ago, not knocked about. Improvement when fifth here latest but his jumping issues need to be resolved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) ![]() Ossifer Hops |
33/1(+0%) | (9) Ossifer Hops 33/1, Fair chaser who ran below form when sixth of 14 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (20.2f, good to soft) 127 days ago. 111-rated hurdler has been placed on two of four attempts chasing but has a bit to find. |
There could be a bit of scope in NOBLE BIRTH's mark of 121 over fences. He has had two runs since switching to Gavin Cromwell and came from well back to finish third over further in Cork. He reverted to hurdles when last seen at Cheltenham in November and ran well for a long way before dropping to third off a rating of 128. Bleu D'enfer was just pipped on the line at Clonmel last month and appeals as the type to improve from that over this trip. Banjaxed, who won his beginners' chase over a similar trip in Cork, and Navan winner Verdant Place are others to consider.
NOBLE BIRTH has shaped well on both outings for his new yard, including when third in a 3m handicap chase at Cork in October and, with the return to shorter than 3m looking a good move (no sluggard), he makes plenty of appeal. Bleu d'Enfer can make his presence felt back up in trip if keeping mistakes to a minimum, with Banjaxed and Enjoy The Dream others to consider.
NOBLE BIRTH travelled well for a long way when third over hurdles at Cheltenham's November meeting and can strike back over fences

1st (2) ![]() De Temps En Temps |
5/2(+17%) | (2) De Temps En Temps 5/2, Court Cave gelding. Runner-up sole start in points and displayed promise starting out under Rules when second of 11 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) on NH debut 107 days ago. Makes bumpers debut and he's another who is respected. Second in Dromahane point last April and filled the same spot in Listowel maiden hurdle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) ![]() Parnell Street |
18/1(-13%) | (4) Parnell Street 18/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Twinjets and fairly useful hurdler/chaser Strong Resemblance. Stable 1-8 with their runners in this sphere so far this term. Half-brother to winners Twinjets, Strong Resemblance and Sunnyvilla; market will guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) ![]() Powerful Paddy |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Powerful Paddy 40/1, Jukebox Jury gelding. Half-brother to a point winner and bumper winner Shanches. Dam (h86), maiden hurdler, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Prominent Profile. Half-brother to two winners but stable's first ever bumper runner can only be watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) ![]() Skylight Hustle |
15/8(-15%) | (8) Skylight Hustle 15/8, €100,000 3-y-o, Jukebox Jury gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fair hurdler/chaser Sean Says. Dam unraced half-sister to (15f-2½m hurdle winner in Italy) Jar. Won sole start in points (Oct 2024) and he's another of interest on Rules debut. Won sole point-to-point in good style; 100,000euros 3yo; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) ![]() Runcok |
11/4(-10%) | (7) Runcok 11/4, Merely hinted at ability in a big-field Punchestown bumper in the spring but much more like it when third of 11 in bumper at Tramore (16.2f, heavy, 4/1) 46 days ago, doing best work late on. Likely there's even more to come and he's one to consider. Third behind stablemate Sortudo at Tramore latest; Patrick Mullins takes over; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) ![]() Thedeviluno |
25/1(-79%) | (9) Thedeviluno 25/1, Elusive Pimpernel gelding. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Yard 1-7 with their runners in bumpers so far this season and the betting should guide. Dam unplaced 7f-1m4f (RPR 55); stable can ready one so watch the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) ![]() Pour One More |
22/1(-175%) | (5) Pour One More 22/1, €21,000 3-y-o, Pour Moi gelding. 33/1, third of 8 in bumper at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) on NH debut 49 days ago, merely plugging on. Big jump forward required in form terms if he's to play a lead role here. From a good family but could only finish a remote third in Punchestown bumper on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) ![]() Nelsons Dawn |
125/1(-279%) | (3) Nelsons Dawn 125/1, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam made frame once over hurdles. Yard 0-8 with their runners in this sphere in last 5 seasons. First foal; dam well held bumper/maiden hurdles; stable 0-64 in bumpers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) ![]() Alfa Charlie |
8/1(-14%) | (1) Alfa Charlie 8/1, Blue Bresil gelding. Dam (h103), bumper winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Angels Antics. Appeals as a likely type on paper for top yard and he's one to consider. Dam bumper winner; stable 13-55 in bumpers and rider 2-3 at the track this season; player. |
DE TEMPS EN TEMPS made a pleasing racecourse debut when second in an auction maiden hurdle at Listowel in September. This Court Cave gelding switches to a bumper and Declan Lavery should give him a good steer. Gordon Elliott runs a pair of horses and Harry Swan partners Skylight Hustle, who was a comfortable winner of a point-to-point in October. He ought to have a say in proceedings. Runcok, the Willie Mullins representative, took third in a Tramore bumper in November. More would be needed, but that is feasible. Elliott's Alfa Charlie and Andy Slattery's Parnell Street are newcomers who add further spice to the mix.
Point winner SKYLIGHT HUSTLE appeals as a likely type making his Rules debut for the stable who landed this contest 12 months ago, so he gets the narrow vote before the benefit of market clues. Runcok is one of the likely dangers following an improved showing at Tramore and is next best. The selection's stablemate Alfa Charlie and De Temps En Temps complete the shortlist.
ALFA CHARLIE's dam won a bumper and is a half-sister to the progressive Blue Las so she gets the nod
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.
