SPRINGT DE LA MARE debuts over fences, but has winning point-to-point experience and is in form. A debut point victor, he also showed smart bumper form and while he missed 314 days following a fall last January, he ran well in two recent smart maiden hurdles. Admittedly, he was well held in both but finished ahead of some capable types at Leopardstown over Christmas and drops markedly in grade. Union Station has a mark of 120 over hurdles and while he too makes his chase debut, is more exposed than his stablemate. Mount Sinai is rated 118 over timber and also receives a helpful mares' 7lb, but faces a slightly tougher task than on her chase debut at Sligo.

THEATRE NATIVE shaped well on her first run in this sphere when third at Tipperary and can build on it here and add to her fairly useful hurdling success. Willie Mullins' Mount Sinai also has the form to play a part and is next on the list with St Faz, Springt de La Mare and Cayd Boy in the mix too.

Course maiden hurdle winner THEATRE NATIVE is tipped to build on a satisfactory chasing debut at Tipperary in November

11/2(-22%)
(3) Clonbury Bridge 11/2, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap chase (13/2) at Navan (16f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Ought to be thereabouts.
Good effort in a handicap chase at Clonmel in October, 2m probably inadequate on latest.

25/1(-79%)

1-14 in points, should be better for a Limerick run but may find top weight too much.

(2) Vaureal 11/2, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. Respectable fourth of 11 in novice chase (5/1) at Tramore (15.5f, heavy) 15 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Possibilities.
Won a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Roscommon last August, novice chase form is unconvincing.

Theonewedreamof

2.75
11/4(+17%)
(4) Theonewedreamof 11/4, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Fair winner at 14f on Flat. 15/2, good fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.6f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Likely player at these weights.
Jumping was ragged at Cheltenham, a more fluent round should put her firmly in the mix.

Pipers Boreen

3.5
7/2(+13%)
(5) Pipers Boreen 7/2, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap chase at Navan (24f, good to soft, 10/3) 32 days ago. Needs considering.
Unplaced in a Navan handicap last month, softer ground here might be more suitable.

Room To Roam

22/1(-57%)
(8) Room To Roam 22/1, Two wins from 54 NH runs. Below form fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Down Royal (20.6f, good to soft, 12/1) 21 days ago, going in snatches. More is required.

(7) Tankardstown Diva 7/1, Fair winning hurdler. Close up when fell last in handicap chase (9/1) at Down Royal (20.6f, good to soft) on debut over fences 21 days ago. Not taken lightly.
Disputing with the eventual winner when falling at the last at Down Royal, good chance.

|PU| (6) Jump The Shark (10/1 -54%)
Jump The Shark

10
10/1(-54%)
(6) Jump The Shark 10/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Winner in chase at Downpatrick in May. Eleventh of 13 in handicap chase at Punchestown (24.5f, good, 10/3), lame. Off 7 months but still not ruled out.
Lame at Punchestown in June after Downpatrick win, might prefer further and better ground.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

JUMP THE SHARK hasn't run since disappointing last June, but had a veterinary excuse then and seems on a favourable rating on his reappearance run, for an in-form yard. His hurdles form was nothing special and his initial chase form was poor, but he was a well-backed winner at Downpatrick last May before returning lame at Punchestown. He lacks a recent run but remains reasonably unexposed. Stablemate Theonewedreamof ran well at Cheltenham last month and while she doesn't look ahead of the handicapper, she should compete. Tankardstown Diva was in contention when falling at the final fence on chase debut at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day, but this looks more competitive.

THEONEWEDREAMOF rates the pick of these weights on the back of her good Cheltenham fifth so gets the vote in this open handicap. Tankardstown Diva should also have a say if none the worse for her late Down Royal fall, while Pipers Boreen and Clonbury Bridge need factoring in too.

With the advantage of race-fitness THEONEWEDREAMOF may have the measure of stablemate Jump The Shark

(3) Heroes Rise (11/10 +32%)
Heroes Rise

1.1
11/10(+32%)
(3) Heroes Rise 11/10, Fairly useful hurdler. 16/1, very good second of 9 in novice hurdle at Thurles (23.2f, good) 26 days ago. Solid claims. Yard also saddles Find A Fortune.
Listowel maiden winner, progress stalled before an improved display over 2m7f at Thurles.

(4) Find A Fortune (10/3 +5%)
Find A Fortune

3.333333
10/3(+5%)
(4) Find A Fortune 10/3, Fairly useful hurdler. 10/3, respectable third of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.6f, good). Off 7 months but he will surely have a part to play if fully tuned-up.
Consistent if limited in maidens, race-fit Heroes Rise is probably the yard's number one.
5
(5) Goody Four Shoes (4/1 +33%)
Goody Four Shoes

4/1(+33%)
(5) Goody Four Shoes 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, sixth of 19 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, soft) 37 days ago. Sizeable step forward required.
Opening mark of 114 seems on the high side, has plenty to prove against previous winners.
2
(2) Palamon (4/1 -14%)
Palamon

4
4/1(-14%)
(2) Palamon 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Pulled up in novice hurdle (14/1) at this course (20.2f, good) 47 days ago. Will be a danger to all if responding well to the addition of blinkers.
Respectable second of four in 2m Naas novice hurdle in November, pulled up over C&D latest.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

GOODY FOUR SHOES is a dark horse as he has finished unplaced in three maidens, but might better today's 115 perch. The seven-year-old didn't race until November but he finished behind two subsequent winners from each of the Punchestown maiden hurdles he contested in November and December, shaping quite nicely latterly. Rockymountainbleu was receiving weight when defeating Sounds Victorius at Punchestown and with there being no disgrace in finishing behind smart types at that same course last month, should compete under his claimer. Both Palamon (now tried in blinkers) and Heroes Rise flopped over C&D in November and while Heroes Rise subsequently ran well at Thurles, he would prefer a longer distance.

A Gordon Elliott 1-2 could be on the cards, with HEROES RISE, who took a step firmly back in the right direction when a clear second at Thurles last month, prefered to stablemate Find A Fortune. If the first-time blinkers help perk Palamon up he could also take a hand in the finish.

A puzzling little race but perhaps Gordon Elliott can provide the solution with HEROES RISE who came back to form at Thurles last month

KISS WILL is another interesting French recruit for Willie Mullins. The Tunis gelding was second in a bumper on his sole start in his native land and that form looks strong as the winner of that race went on to land a Grade 3 contest. Hello Jack shaped with promise when third to a decent sort, in Kel Histoire, on his debut at Cork last month and may improve from that outing. A newcomer to note is the Gavin Cromwell-trained Sionainn. The Doctor Dino gelding cost 170,000 euro as a store and is related to three winners.

KISS WILL showed plenty in a bumper on his only French outing 16 months ago and his new yard has a tremendous record with similar types, so he gets the narrow vote over Hello Jack, who arrives on the back of a promising hurdling debut. Sionainn looks the pick of the newcomers on pedigree.

This should prove a suitable starting point for KISS WILL, an expensive Arqana purchase after a single AQPS run in 2023

SWING DAVIS was a big money purchase from the point-to-point field and may be able to make her mark now over jumps. The No Risk At All mare made 320,000 euro after winning in Loughanmore last April. She has been beaten favourite in two bumpers this season but they were solid enough runs and she may be better with a hurdle in front of her over a longer trip. The Willie Mullins-trained Kara De Thaix is another who could do better now over hurdles. She was well beaten on her debut in a bumper at Naas last month. Workinonadream has some solid placed form in the book and should collect prize-money again.

SWING DAVIS, having won a point, produced two solid performances in bumpers, so she's fancied to open her account at the first attempt over hurdles. Workinonadream is an obvious threat on the back of a good second at Limerick and Kara de Thaix isn't without hope despite an underwhelming start in a bumper.

With WORKINONADREAM's latest effort getting a recent form boost, she's worth siding with despite a frustrating run of placed efforts

FISHERY LANE may appreciate dropping back in trip here having faded a bit late on on his hurdling debut at Fairyhouse last month. That came over 2m7f and he comes back three furlongs now. The Gemix gelding showed plenty of ability in bumpers, finishing fifth at Cheltenham, and is entitled to improve a bit from his initial outing over timber. Quantum Quest shaped nicely on his 'track' debut when fifth to Shuffle The Deck at Naas and with that experience under his belt he could play a bigger part. Grimaud has been placed on both his outings over timber and is another that has to come into the mix.

QUANTUM QUEST shaped with plenty of promise in a big-field Naas maiden hurdle on his Rules debut last month and, with improvement on the cards, he looks the way to go. Fishery Lane also made an encouraging start in this sphere when third at this course and he is next on the list ahead of Along The Way and Grimaud.

QUANTUM QUEST shaped with promise on his rules debut, a race that has worked out okay and should improve form that first rules outing

DUFFYS HODEY is only a pound higher than when third at Limerick over Christmas and looks capable of landing a moderate enough contest. The Well Chosen gelding had been a cosy winner at Clonmel previously and comes here in fine form. The lightly-weighted Rebelle Chaud looks another with an obvious chance after a coupe of solid runs. She remains on the same mark after a decent effort to finish third over course and distance last month. Ivane is another with solid recent placed form that has to come into calculations.

Plenty in with a squeak but the suggestion is DUFFYS HODEY, who opened his account at Clonmel last month and ran just as well in first-time cheekpieces when third in another big-field handicap at Limerick subsequently. Rebelle Chaud is a long-standing maiden, but she arrives in top form so heads up the opposition, with Ivane and Silas Marner another couple worth keeping a close eye on, too.

DUFFYS HODEY (nap) arrives in better form than most having been in the first 3 thrice this term and he stayed on well for 3rd 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.
