1st (2) (2/5 +64%) Croke Park |
2/5(+64%) | (2) Croke Park 2/5, Winning pointer who, having shaped well in a bumper, created a good impression in landing his first 2 starts over hurdles. Disappointed upped in grade next 2 starts but remains a good chasing prospect. Grade 3 novice winner over timber, preferred by Kennedy, the one to beat if handles ground. |

2nd (5) (8/1 -45%) Iris Emery |
8/1(-45%) | (5) Iris Emery 8/1, Fair hurdler. Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Fell in novice chase (9/4) at Tramore (22.8f, good) 48 days ago. Won here over hurdles, fell two out when leading at Tramore on latest, place claims. |

3rd (3) (20/1 +0%) Mister Beeton |
20/1(+0%) | (3) Mister Beeton 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/2, twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (22.8f, good) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut. Tough ask. Two-time hurdles winner, trip and ground fine for chasing debut, can't discount. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 +50%) Sequestered |
4/1(+50%) | (4) Sequestered 4/1, Useful hurdler. Useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Promising fourth of 12 in novice chase at Galway (22.5f, soft) 9 days ago. May well do better. Won on good over hurdles, shaped like this trip might suit on latest, interesting. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Jack Kennedy returns from suspension and might get straight back into the winning groove on CROKE PARK. The point-to-point winner landed a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Navan just under a year ago before being found wanting a couple of times at the highest level. He's unproven on a sound surface, so hopefully there's enough juice in the ground for him to take his chance. Gordon Elliott also has Cleatus Poolaw in here and he, too, is a winning pointer who was a useful hurdler last term. Iris Emery had jumped better when stepped up in trip at Tramore before crumpling on landing when in front two out, while Sequestered was a creditable fourth at Galway last time.
CROKE PARK might have disappointed in a couple of Grade 1 hurdles at the end of last season but he's a strapping chasing type who could well have a good season in this sphere. His stablemate Cleatus Poolaw was also useful over hurdles despite not being as highly tried, so may emerge as the main threat ahead of Sequestered.
A chance is taken on SEQUESTERED. He's fit, he has won on good ground and he shaped like this trip might suit at Galway last time.

Up in trip. Potentially on a good mark back in this sphere. Three-time hurdles winner is relatively unexposed over fences, may have needed recent run. |

8/1(-14%) | (3) The Dabbler 8/1, Unreliable individual. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in June. Creditable third of 12 in handicap chase (12/1) at Punchestown (23.2f, good) 20 days ago. Veteran won off an equivalent hurdles mark during the summer, fair run over fences latest. |

Makes handicap chase debut. Can make presence felt. Left previous form behind when stepped up in trip at Killarney, further progress possible. |

|PU| (10) (150/1 -50%) Deal Again |
150/1(-50%) | (10) Deal Again 150/1, 100/1, refused in handicap chase at Sligo (25.8f, good) on debut over fences 34 days ago won by Ballagh Star. Out of contention when refused three out at Sligo, 100-1 then, safe to rule out. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
JUNIOR RATTLER might be able to add a chase victory to the three that he has recorded over hurdles. The Arakan gelding is fairly unexposed in this discipline and was second in a Kilbeggan handicap off just a 2lb lower mark last year. After five months off, he ran OK over hurdles at Clonmel last month and should be primed for this. It was a modest contest that Ballagh Star landed on chase debut at Sligo, but he jumped well and is open to more improvement. Brave Adam finished well clear with the runner-up when taking a Killarney beginners chase on easier ground and his mark was raised 10lb ahead of this handicap debut.
BRAVE ADAM showed improved form under a change of tactics to get off the mark at Killarney last month, making all and jumping well over this longer trip, and an opening mark of 107 doesn't look insurmountable. Ballagh Star made a winning start over fences at Sligo last time so must be respected, while Junior Rattler is potentially on a good mark back in this sphere.
Likely to be better for a recent run over hurdles, JUNIOR RATTLER stays well enough to have a good chance of a first chase win here

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BEYOND YOUR DREAMS should be good enough to make a winning start over flights if taking to jumping. A progressive young handicapper on the Flat in recent months, the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly looks the right type for juvenile hurdling. Game Phoenix could manage no better than sixth at Gowran Park last time, but had finished runner-up on her first two runs over hurdles. Paul Power's daughter of Phoenix Of Spain has acquired valuable jumping experience, which should stand to her here against the newcomers. Space Warrior also holds claims having shown ability in five runs on the level. While he will need to improve further, Tom Mullins' charge has to be respected on his hurdling debut.
BEYOND YOUR DREAMS was the best of these on the level and sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut, she looks the answer. Game Phoenix will attempt to put her experience to good use so she's a threat, with Space Warrior another to consider.

Gordon Elliott looks to have found a nice opportunity for THE MEDIATOR to open his account over jumps. A five-time runner-up since switching to hurdling, the former bumper winner has done little wrong to date. In what appears his easiest assignment to date, the seven-year-old can record a second career success. The David Harry Kelly-trained Faceman has shaped well enough in two bumper starts to suggest he is capable of winning races. Although needing to improve further to take a hand here, the lightly-raced gelding has plenty of scope for progression. Former point-to-point winner Breaking Silence would be of definite interest if fit and ready after an absence.
It's taken a while for connection to get point winner BREAKING SILENCE back to the track but this is a race really lacking in depth so in the hope the market vibes are positive, she's selected. The Mediator isn't straightforward but is sure to be in the thick of it, with Faceman another to note on hurdles debut.
THE MEDIATOR has been expensive to follow but this looks an excellent opportunity for him to shed the maiden tag over hurdles.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A smart handicap hurdler last term, WHAT'S UP DARLING can make a winning reappearance. Gordon Elliott's gelding, who won a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Navan last November, finished his campaign with respectable efforts in stronger races at Cheltenham and Aintree. This looks a perfect race to get his new season off to a winning start. Twice successful over flights, Barry Lyndon looks the chief threat. Although disappointing on his most recent outing, the six-year-old had won his previous start. The lightly-raced Well Del finished fourth in a maiden hurdle at Listowel, before beating his only two opponents in a beginners chase at Limerick. This is harder, but he is totally unexposed after just four runs.
The returning WHAT'S UP DARLING is taken to provide Gordon Elliott with a fourth successive win in this race. Any Road might be the one to give him most to think about.
This looks like a good starting point for WHAT'S UP DARLING whose status as a Grade 3 novice winner makes him the clear form pick

|F| (8) (12/1 -20%) One And Only |
12/1(-20%) | (8) One And Only 12/1, 4/1, creditable fourth of 11 in novice chase at Downpatrick (19.4f, good to soft) 165 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Weak hurdles form; showed potential over fences in a Downpatrick handicap in May. |

18/1(-50%) | (12) Bella Be Good 18/1, 13/2, pulled up in handicap hurdle at this course (18.5f, good) 24 days ago. Place possibilites based on peak form. Reported to have burst a blood vessel here last time, some fair placed form to her credit. |

11th (13) (16/1 -14%) Ardfert Mary |
16/1(-14%) | (13) Ardfert Mary 16/1, Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (18.5f, good, 28/1) 24 days ago. Enters calculations. Placed once, appears held by runner-up U Asking Me on running at this venue last month. |

66/1(-230%) | (16) Western Doyen 66/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. 13/2, good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20.2f, good). Off over 2 years. Absent since second at Killarney in August 2022, trainer has fine record with veterans. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
U ASKING ME can make it two wins from his last three starts over hurdles. The Eoin Doyle-trained gelding won over this trip at Clonmel finishing runner-up here over two furlongs less. Back up to his optimum distance at a venue where he is already proven, the seven-year-old should be hard to beat. Hatfield Hammer, who was runner-up in that aforementioned Clonmel race, should again be competitive. Paul Nolan's five-year-old has shown enough in 10 starts to suggest he has the ability to win races at this level. Blue Reed will need to improve on anything he has shown in recent times, but the five-year-old has to be respected on his first start for the Cian Collins stable.
The vote goes to NICHOLAS STREET, who failed to shine at Killarney last time but it's still very early days for this 4-y-o and he is well worth another chance. Indeed, judged on earlier efforts he is likely to benefit from this step up in trip and both the first-time hood and presence of a very capable claimer in the saddle are other plus points. Sydney Cruiser is another who can be forgiven a below-par run last time and she is next on the list ahead of Hesasmoothoperator and Papa Barns.
An improved display at Punchestown provides grounds for believing that HESAMOOTHOPERATOR can win a handicap of this standard

1st (13) (7/1 +36%) Delias Pet |
7/1(+36%) | (13) Delias Pet 7/1, Successful on final outing of last year at Galway (22.2f) in September. Clonmel fourth on penultimate start a standout effort this term and she was again below her best when eleventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (24f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Won over 2m6f at Galway last autumn, not a bad run at Clonmel on her penultimate start. |

2nd (12) (8/1 +43%) Lariat |
8/1(+43%) | (12) Lariat 8/1, 80/1, first run since leaving J. J. Lambe when fifteenth of 20 in handicap at Navan (14f, good to soft) 13 days ago. That was his first start for 10 months and interesting if the market spoke in his favour now returned to timber. Should be better for a recent Flat run on stable debut, a long time since his best form. |

3rd (16) (7/1 +65%) Klassman |
7/1(+65%) | (16) Klassman 7/1, Maiden who ran one of his better races when 11¾ lengths seventh of 18 to Hees Dynamite in handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft, 33/1) 17 days ago, keeping on gradually. Needs to pull out more if he's to open his account here. Has failed to reach the first six in four handicap runs, fair effort at Limerick last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/4 -10%) Hees Dynamite |
11/4(-10%) | (1) Hees Dynamite 11/4, 4/1, career best when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Limerick (21f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Yard having good spell. Worthy of respect. The most recent winner in the field, scored quite snugly at Limerick, leading contender. |

18/1(-177%) | (5) Kate Ill Know 18/1, Below form seventh of 14 in handicap chase (5/1) at Gowran (18f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Return to hurdling can likely see her in a better light. Soundly beaten over fences last time, better judged on previous consistent hurdles form. |

9th (14) (66/1 -100%) Fly With Me Chik |
66/1(-100%) | (14) Fly With Me Chik 66/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Kilbeggan (19.3f, good to soft) 116 days ago, losing touch before 4 out. Hard to make a case for. Poor maiden form, struggled in two handicap runs during the summer, makes no appeal. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HEES DYNAMITE won well at Limerick last time and gets another go in this lowest grade. The Ocovango gelding had been knocking on the door before his victory 17 days ago and, despite a 7lb rise, he has to have a big shout of following up in a moderate contest. Kate Ill Know looks the obvious danger switching back to hurdles. A bad mistake ended her chances over fences last time, but she had been running consistently over timber previously. Hurricane Honey offered encouragement when fourth at Galway on her first appearance for the Adrian Murray team and is a likely threat.
HEES DYNAMITE confirmed previous promise when running out a good winner of a big-field Limerick handicap 17 days ago and he could be worth siding with to follow up from a 7 lb higher mark. Beechfield, who is easily one of the least exposed, and Hurricane Honey rate a couple of likely threats, with veteran mare Kate Ill Know respected also now returned to the smaller obstacles.
It should pay to side with HEES DYNAMITE who has been improving steadily and can defy a 7lb rise for last month's Limerick win

16th (2) (10/1 -54%) Cruisin Susan |
10/1(-54%) | (2) Cruisin Susan 10/1, Latest win in hurdle at Tramore in August. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Wexford (20f, heavy) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not taken lightly. Up 13lb for back to back wins in August, handicapper may be in charge for now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CRUISIN SUSAN is a consistent sort at this level and can bag another win. She had a good spell during the summer, with two victories in the month of August, and has held her form well recently off a mark 1lb higher than this. Kilmurry Jj is a better horse over fences, but has a 16lb lower mark over timber and could be a big player in this grade. He did run poorly when last seen over hurdles at Galway and will need to produce a better effort than that. Mr Mcwhinny didn't run too badly at Punchestown last time and may be capable of getting a bit closer now.
KALAROUN ran well here last time and could be the way to go in a tricky low-grade contest. Cruisin Susan and Mr McWhinny are a couple of others to consider.
A chance is taken on AR NOS NA GAOITHE. She kept on well over shorter at Limerick last time and this step up in trip should suit.

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.
