13:25 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

It is probably best to put a line through the latest run by RATH GAUL BOY as he had a number of issues on veterinary examination post-race after being pulled up at Leopardstown earlier this month. The point-to-point and bumper winner previously beat all bar Enfranchise in a maiden hurdle at the Galway Festival and hopefully can put that latest disappointment behind him. Omniscient won twice on the Flat for Sir Mark Prescott to earn a rating in the mid 90s and is an interesting hurdle recruit for Gordon Elliott, while point-to-point winner Cobra Queen has shown some promise over hurdles including behind Jade De Grugy at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.

The fact that RATH GAUL BOY is turned out again 27 days after what was ultimately a disappointing reappearance display at Leopardstown suggests that all is well, and he will prove a tough nut to crack if able to put that run behind him and build on his very promising hurdles debut second at Galway last summer. Four-time Flat winner En Or rates the main danger, though Omniscient, who scored twice on the level in 2022, will also be a threat if his jumping passes the test.

More than one possible explanation emerged after RATH GAUL BOY flopped at Leopardstown and he can probably make amends here

14:00 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

A 30lb rise in the ratings for three narrow handicap wins may seem excessive but BUACHAILLBOCHT has a canny knack for not winning too far and certainly idled in front before winning with a bit in hand at Punchestown last month. Mark Walsh should be able to produce him a bit later here and the main threat could be posed by another JP McManus-owned gelding in Joyeux Vivo. He showed promise in maidens and kept on well over two miles when runner-up to the progressive Morricone on handicap debut at Punchestown. Lucky Lyreen won't lack for stamina having beaten Kinturk Kalanisi (won since) in a three-mile maiden at Punchestown last time while Silver King and Pax are others to consider.

The finish may well be dominated by JP McManus-owned representatives, with handicap debutant PAX taken to strike. He shaped as though getting the hang of things when fourth in a big-field Punchestown maiden last month and this step back up in trip looks a good move. It's no great surprise that the owner's retained jockey, Mark Walsh, sides with the progressive Buachaillbocht and, despite going up 11 lb for his latest success, he is a big danger. Joyeux Vivo is third choice.

Wide open and slight preference for SILVER KING, who comes here in good form at this trip and on similar ground

14:35 Fairyhouse Novices Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Willie Mullins is mob-handed here with ten runners and perhaps FUN FUN FUN can come out on top. The daughter of Martaline won twice in bumpers last term including a Grade 2 at Leopardstown and is unlucky not to be unbeaten in four hurdle starts this term. She easily landed a Grade 3 at Naas last time and just gets the nod over stablemate Jade De Grugy who is the choice of Paul Townend. She also won a Grade 3 in good style at this venue and ran with plenty of credit when fourth under a 5lb penalty in the mares' novice hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Jetara was pulled up in this race last year but has progressed well this term winning three times including when readily beating Pink In The Park over this trip at Leopardstown while the prolific Springtime Promise is a welcome UK challenger.

Ten of the 18 set to go to post represent the Willie Mullins yard and CUTA DES AS could be the pick of them, for all that she's not the pick of Paul Townend. Cuta Des As achieved a pretty strong level of form in bumpers last season and her hurdles debut success at Punchestown was pretty much faultless. Townend opts to ride Jade de Grugy, who landed a Grade 3 here in January before running well at the Cheltenham Festival. Jetara and Fun Fun Fun are others to consider.

Willie Mullins throws the kitchen sink at this and JADE DE GRUGY is probably the right one despite a below-best Cheltenham run

15:10 Fairyhouse Novices Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

DEE CAPO won a bumper and maiden hurdle at Galway and Cork respectively last autumn and appeared to benefit from a winter break when successfully reappearing at Leopardstown earlier this month. The selection got on top on the run-in when beating Ashdale Bob and should appreciate this extra two furlongs. No Flies On Him won a 28-runner maiden at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting but was weak in the market when soundly beaten subsequently by Tullyhill at Punchestown. The Edward O'Grady-trained gelding has scope for further improvement while others to consider include easy Punchestown maiden winner Anotherway, Rushmount and Mossy Fen Park.

The value angle here could be OSCARS BROTHER, who chased home a useful type on his hurdles debut prior to going one better in some style at Limerick three weeks ago. No Flies on Him landed a 26-runner Leopardstown maiden on his hurdles debut and subsequently found only Tullyhill too strong in a listed event at Punchestown. The winner rather let the form down when well held at the Cheltenham Festival but No Flies On Him is very promising and is second choice ahead of Dee Capo and Anotherway.

There could be further improvement to come from DEE CAPO who beat a seasoned campaigner at Leopardstown last time

15:45 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Willie Mullins holds a strong hand and MIRAZUR WEST may prove the pick of the Closutton trio. The Westerner full brother to Ferny Hollow has always been held in high regard and easily made all in a Naas bumper last spring. He's raced very keenly on all three hurdle starts this term but still won easily over C&D in January and was placed behind Fun Fun Fun in a Naas Grade 3 last time. Tounsivator won twice on the Flat in France and made a successful start over hurdles for current connections when overcoming a mistake at the last to beat Rainbow Trail (won since) in a 25-runner Naas maiden. Western Diego also made all in a maiden over C&D while Angostura easily landed the odds at Gowran last time.

Willis Mullins boasts a terrific record in this race and saddles three strong candidates in TOUNSIVATOR, Mirazur West and Western Diego this time round. Preference is for the first-named, who was successful twice on the Flat in France and he looked good when getting the better of next-time-out winner Rainbow Trail and 23 others on his hurdles debut at Naas. Mirazur West is better than he was able to show when failing to land the odds last time and is second choice ahead of Western Diego.

Willie Mullins holds a strong hand here with TOUNSIVATOR selected ahead of Mirazur West and Western Diego

16:20 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

MOUNT FRISCO had Figaroc seven lengths back in third with Pats Choice well adrift in fifth when runner-up to the progressive Whiskeywealth in a similar Listed handicap chase at Gowran Park earlier this month. The selection, who won both over fences and hurdles in January, has been given a typical aggressive campaign by John Ryan and was far from disgraced behind Mister Policeman last time in a Grade 3 novice chase at Thurles. Hurricane Cliff has been raised 9lb after an ultimately clearcut win at Limerick where a number of rivals fell in the straight, while Skippin Court comes here fresh after a creditable effort at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.

HURRICANE CLIFF opened his chase account in good style at Limerick three weeks ago and looks capable of defying a 9 lb rise in the weights. He gets the nod ahead of Figaroc, who was behind Mount Frisco at Gowran earlier this month but he is 2 lb better off with that rival now and may well emerge as the main danger this time. Pats Choice was back in fifth in that Gowran handicap but would be a threat were he to put his best foot forward.

Limerick winner HURRICANE CLIFF is taken to follow up here off a 9lb higher mark

16:55 Fairyhouse Conditions Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

The score is 1-1 between BLOOD DESTINY and Spillane's Tower over fences this season with the latter having come out on top over just short of 2m4f in a Grade 3 at Punchestown but the places were decisively reversed over two miles at Navan earlier this month. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding appreciated a more patient ride at Navan and despite a 7lb swing at the weights and the longer trip, is fancied to again come out on top. Stablemate Tactical Move beat Saint Felicien over this distance at Gowran, although it's interesting that Jack Kennedy rides the latter in favour of Zanahiyr, the pick of these over hurdles and a creditable fourth in the Turners Novices' Chase at Cheltenham.

The head-to-head between SPILLANE'S TOWER and Blood Destiny stands at 1-1 and they could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter represents the all-conquering Willie Mullins yard (responsible for the last five winners of this Grade 1 contest) and he is not passed over at all lightly. However, Spillane's Tower appeared to find 2m too sharp in the Flyingbolt and he has a good chance of turning the tables on the winner here. Saint Felicien remains open to improvement and he is third choice.

Having reversed previous form with Spillane's Tower last time, BLOODY DESTINY gets the vote to confirm his superiority.

17:30 Fairyhouse NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

KOPEK DES BORDES is hardly an original choice from the powerful Mullins stable in a race where the market will provide vital clues as to the relative merits of these young prospects. Riding arrangements suggest he's preferred of the three newcomers from the yard and the half-brother to five winners cost 130,000 euros at the Derby Sale last June. Butchers Bill is a brother to Romeo Coolio and was another purchased at the Derby Sale for 265,000 euro while Gordon Elliott is also represented by Spinola Bay. We're Red And Blue was odds-on when winning on debut at Hereford while there is further UK interest with Clap Of Thunder who has shown promise on all three starts.

BUTCHERS BILL makes plenty of appeal on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. He is marginally preferred to the Willie Mullins-trained newcomers Kopek Des Bordes, La Note Verte and Doctor Steinberg (in that order of preference), while British raiders Clap of Thunder and We're Red And Blue both have claims.

As usual, it should pay to focus on Willie Mullins' runners and KOPEK DES BORDES is the choice of Patrick Mullins from the stable

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.
