14:10 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Paul Townend is an eye-catching booking for BUTCHER HOLLOW and he can gain a deserved win over timber. The Kingston Hill gelding has been placed in three maiden hurdles over the winter following his bumper win at Galway in October and has run into some smart sorts. He has a decent rating of 118, shared by a couple of others in the field. Cut The Rope has the same mark and comes here off the back of a solid run to chase home Paggane at Punchestown last month. The Lovely Man was second in handicap company at Gowran Park on his return from a short break last month and is another that has to be on the shortlist.

BUTCHER HOLLOW shaped second best for much of the straight when third at Naas in January and, with the timefigure supporting the performance, he's selected to open his account as a hurdler. The Lovely Man and Postileo head the opposition in an interesting maiden.

Three horses are inseparable on official ratings. Slight preference is for BUTCHER HOLLOW over The Lovely Man and Cut The Rope

Ferns Lock

2/7(-164%)
(4) Ferns Lock 2/7, Useful chaser. Course winner. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Pulled up in Festival Challenge Cup at Cheltenham (26.3f, heavy, 7/2) 15 days ago. Had been in top form prior to that and makes plenty of appeal back in calmer waters.

14:45 Fairyhouse Conditions Chase 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FERNS LOCK didn't give his true running at Cheltenham when getting worked up beforehand and doing too much throughout the race. This small field here will suit better and he's fancied to bounce back in a lesser contest. He had been impressive when winning at Thurles previously. Boss Robin was a game winner of a hunter chase at Thurles earlier in the month and is noted along with Grange Island.

FERNS LOCK didn't come up to expectations at Cheltenham but he sets the standard in this based on what he'd been doing previously and he's firmly expected to get back on track. Annamix is the obvious danger and Boss Robin should give his running.

Things did not go according to plan for FERNS LOCK at Cheltenham but he still appeals as a horse with major potential in this category

15:20 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JUMPING JET ran really well when chasing home short-priced favourite Tactical Move in Grade 3 company last time and looks capable of landing a handicap off her current mark. The handicapper left her unchanged on 121 after that run and Danny Gilligan taking 5lb off leaves her on a nice weight here. Instit heads the weights and is a good solid mare in graded company. She finished fifth in the Mares Chase at Cheltenham last time and was a good winner at this meeting last year so has to be respected despite having to give chunks of weight to her rivals. Harmonya Maker was a couple of places behind Instit at Cheltenham. Her form can be a bit hit and miss but she's a talented mare on her day and could play a big role if on song.

Having produced a highly encouraging comeback run when second here in December, QUEEN JANE has had excuses both starts since and, back at this more suitable trip, it would come as no surprise to see Henry de Bromhead's mare in a much better light. Jumping Jet and Instit may well emerge as the chief threats.

This can go to JUMPING JET (nap) who's been thriving of late and it was a solid run in a Grade 3 novice behind a nice prospet latest

(3) Neveradullmoment 5/2, Fairly useful chaser. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap chase (7/2) at Navan (24f, heavy) 35 days ago, doing well to get back involved having been badly hampered 3 out. Remains with a bigger effort in his locker and one to consider.

(6) Read To Return 5/2, Winner over fences at Killarney in October and shaped well from the position he came from in a 25f handicap at Cheltenham a month later. Expensive to follow over hurdles since but appeals as still being well treated back over fences and worth chancing.
Expensive to follow, reported clinically abnormal after dismal run over hurdles last time.

15:55 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NEVERADULLMOMENT looks capable of picking up a prize like this off his current mark. The Mahler gelding wasn't helped by a few mistakes, and getting hampered three from home, before finishing third to St Denis's Well at Down Royal last time. He has been knocking on the door and Aine O'Connor is a positive booking now. Jody Townend takes the mount on Klarc Kent for Willie Mullins and the top-weight commands plenty of respect. He has been running in some decent beginners chases and was a good third to Senior Chief at Punchestown last month. Favori Logique was a good third over a marathon trip at Leopardstown last time and could be each-way material off a light weight.

READ TO RETURN was below his best when last seen over hurdles 3 months ago but he very much appeals as being on a good mark over fences and earns the vote for the stable that landed this 12 months ago. Neveradullmoment very much caught the eye and was deserving of extra credit for where he finished last time and he heads up the dangers. Klarc Kent is another to consider on handicap debut in this sphere.

The bottom weight MARRONSTOWN is given a hopeful vote after an improved showing at Down Royal

16:30 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Paul Townend sides with OLYMPIC MAN here and the Martaline gelding looks open to plenty more improvement. His jumping still wasn't great when he won at Naas recently but he looks to have a big engine and could still be learning on the job. Rachael Blackmore sticks with Native Speaker who has a nice low weight in this. The Court Cave gelding was no match for Built By Ballymore when the pair met at Limerick over Christmas but enjoys a hefty pull at the weights this time. That rival was well-backed for the Coral Cup at Cheltenham recently but faded in the closing stages. He is capable of a lot better and can't be ruled out here.

OLYMPIC MAN didn't come off the bridle when opening his account at Naas last time and he may well prove better than an opening mark of 131, so he's preferred to Raglan Road, who also improved to get off the mark last time. Native Speaker is another one to consider in an open-looking race.

On these terms, NATIVE SPEAKER has a realistic chance of overturning Limerick maiden form with Built By Ballymore

17:05 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

COMFORT ZONE has presumably had his issues, given the lengthy absences, but looks capable of winning a nice prize like this over hurdles off his current mark. The Churchill gelding was a dual Grade 2 winner over timber as a juvenile but missed the latter part of last season. He reappeared on the Flat in the 'Petingo' Handicap at Leopardstown in September and ran a cracker to chase home Satin in that very competitive contest. Having been prepared to run such a big race off a break then he will hopefully be fit and ready for this task. Last year's winner Risk Belle also runs in the colours of JP McManus and has to be respected. She was mid-division in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last time and has dropped a few pounds recently. Classy Flat performer Helvic Dream was fourth in Grade 3 company over timber at Naas last time and is another for the shortlist.

COMFORT ZONE looked well above average as a novice and, having run well on the Flat when last seen 6 months ago, he's fancied to add to an excellent strike rate in this sphere, with an opening mark of 132 potentially lenient. Risk Belle shaped better than the result in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last time, so he's one to consider, while Westport Cove is likely to put a tame run behind him.

After an encouraging run in the County last time when unsuited by a slow pace, RISK BELLE is worth chancing with Kelly claiming 5lb

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

Patrick Mullins sides with MAGIC MCCOLGAN and the Flemensfirth mare looks like a progressive type. She did well to win at Leopardstown last time when losing her pitch turning in and having to switch to the inside to get a run. The full-sister to Tornado Flyer won nicely in the end and can step forward again. Stablemate Flashaway, a daughter of top race-mare Voler La Vedette, made a big impression on her debut at Gowran when winning by a wide margin and is also a leading contender. Familiar Dreams has to give a few pounds to her rivals but is another that has to be on the shortlist. She was good when taking a winners contest at Naas last time and seems to be improving with racing.

FLASHWAY justified a short price in comfortable fashion at Gowran on debut and, with more to come, she's fancied to go in again at the possible expense of stablemate Magic McColgan. Barnahash Primrose travelled smoothly in Grade 2 company last time, so she's also a player dropping back in grade.

This could go to BARNAHASH PRIMROSE who had Magic Mccolgan back in fourth at Limerick and ran well in defeat at Leopardstown

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.
