11:35 Fairyhouse Maiden Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

IMPAIRE ET PASSE is very hard to get away from on his chasing debut. He has won six of his nine hurdle races including three at the highest level at Cheltenham, Punchestown and Aintree. He is a more than interesting recruit to chasing especially as Willie Mullins commented in a recent stable tour that he could be one for his Arkle squad. Staffordshire Knot was runner-up in a Grade 1 over flights at Aintree in April. He's had a kissing spine operation since then and could be better over fences. Waterford Whispers has reportedly schooled well over the bigger obstacles and should have a role to play, while O'moore Park and Now Is The Hour are others eyeing prize money.

A maiden chase with a good roll of honour and IMPAlRE ET PASSE can become yet another classy winner of the race. Now Is The Hour got some chase experience on his final start last season and might be the one to follow him home ahead of Waterford Whispers and Twoohthree.

It's hard to get away from the claims of IMPAIRE ET PASSE on chase debut who is in a different league to the rest of these

(5) Sam Magee 6/1, 40/1, below form fourth of 12 in novice chase at Punchestown (16.6f, good) 45 days ago. Back up in trip for this handicap chase debut and he needs a second look.
Although well beaten at Punchestown, the second won a Grade 2 at Punchestown last week.

(3) St Denis's Well 8/1, 6/1, very good second of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly back up in trip and not without an each-way chance.
Three-time chase winner but he looks very high in the weights at present.

(8) Toofareastiswest 14/1, Good 6 lengths second of 6 to General Hubble in handicap chase at this course (24.3f, good, 9/1) 18 days ago. Place possibilities.

General Hubble

10/3(+17%)
(13) General Hubble 10/3, Ungenuine type. Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Career best when winning 13-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (24.3f, good, 6/5) 15 days ago, staying on well. Solid claims.
Saw off Toofareastiswest here (11lb worse off) before following up three days later.

4/1(+50%)
(11) Pebble Bleu 4/1, Winner at Punchestown in October. Fifth of 7 in novice chase at Clonmel (20.8f, good to soft, 25/1) 23 days ago. One to consider.

(1) The Echo Boy 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Ballinrobe in May. 10/1, last of 6 in handicap chase at Gowran (20f, good to firm) 56 days ago, possibly amiss. Others make more appeal.
More needed but all of his wins have been off the back of a bad run so he's not out of it.

Turbo

11
11/1(-10%)
(12) Turbo 11/1, Won 8-runner handicap chase at Thurles (16.6f, good, 16/1) 9 days ago. Step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue and he has to be taken seriously.
Won after layoff; still looks well treated on pick of his form but this is a deeper race.

Old Soul

20
20/1(-43%)
(9) Old Soul 20/1, 15/2, eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Down Royal (26.2f, good to soft). Off 7 months and it's probably best to look elsewhere.
Drop in trip might help but typically needs a run so the absence is a worry.
2

Shajak

9/2(+10%)
(2) Shajak 9/2, Useful winner at 12f on the Flat. Creditable third of 9 in handicap chase (3/1) at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Enters calculations. Yard also saddles Ringdufferin and General Hubble.
Slow jumps cost him on handicap chase debut; big player if he cuts out the errors.

12:12 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ST DENIS'S WELL appeals on the back of a highly creditable runner-up berth in a handicap hurdle at Navan just under a fortnight ago, and he is a better chaser than hurdler. Gordon Elliott's General Hubble is climbing the ranks after two victories over fences at this track (under Toni Quail) and in Punchestown during November. If those exertions haven't left a mark, he would be a significant threat. His stablemate, Shajak, has been placed in his last three races over fences and should be competitive. Turbo overcame a very lengthy absence to score in Thurles last week. He did win nicely, but you'd have to be wary of the bounce factor with the 11-year-old gelding.

The vote goes to PEBBLE BLEU, who understandably found listed company too much at Clonmel and she is better judged on her Punchestown success on penultimate start. Turbo made light of a lengthy absence when striking at Thurles recently and, provided he is able to avoid the dreaded 'bounce' factor, another bold show could be on the way from this 11-y-o. The hat-trick seeking General Hubble is also accorded respect, along with stablemate Shajak.

Plenty here worth considering but a chance is taken on SAM MAGEE, who was chucked in at the deep end latest and will find this easier

12:45 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

VISIONARIAN ought to be a big player in this Listed handicap chase. He won a small-field Grade 2 at Gowran Park in October and that form was boosted when the runner-up came out and landed a Grade 3 in Punchestown. Visionarian then did as well as could be expected in fourth in a Grade 1 in Down Royal. American Mike is entitled to come on from his sixth in the Troytown on seasonal reappearance at Navan, especially as he ran well for a long way. Uncle Phil's last visit to Fairyhouse saw him scoop a Grade 3 handicap chase in January, while Jack Kennedy is a notable booking for The Big Chap who has won two of his last three over fences.

AMERICAN MIKE didn't find much when it came to the crunch on his recent reappearance at Naas but he's entitled to come on for that (was returning from an eight-month absence that day) and this drop back in trip could turn out to be a good move. Visionarian is of interest back in handicap company after contesting a Grade 1 at Down Royal and he is feared most ahead of Uncle Phil and The Big Chap.

REBEL GOLD has come down to a fair mark in this sphere and his promising return over timber should put him spot on for this

13:20 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A DREAM TO SHARE has to be of interest on hurdling debut after winning two Grade 1 bumpers among his substantial haul in that sphere. He is sure to be well schooled for this assignment, but will need to be on his game. Ballygunner Castle was the subject of a favourable report from Willie Mullins in a stable tour. Ideally, he would want further than this, but he did land a couple of bumpers in the spring. Don'tstopthemusic put a big field to the sword in a Punchestown bumper and that race has already thrown up a couple of maiden hurdle winners. Ballybow is match fit after striking in a Sligo bumper, while Sommesky, Harbour Highway and Ivybrook are others with claims.

Dual Grade 1 bumper winner A DREAM TO SHARE has seemingly had his problems but remains an exciting prospect now going hurdling. Fellow hurdling debutants Ballygunner Castle and Ballybow may emerge as the biggest threats.

Plenty of nice prospects here, notably A DREAM TO SHARE (nap) who won a high-class renewal of the 2023 Champion Bumper

13:55 Fairyhouse Conditions Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BOTTLER'SECRET had Givemefive over 14 lengths behind when landing a Grade 2 over C&D on heavy ground last Easter, although the places were reversed on a sounder surface at Cheltenham last month where Dodger Long split the pair in second. Givemefive had the benefit of a prep run on the Flat before that latest win, while the selection should have progressed from the outing and now has 'home' advantage. Kala Conti won a Grade 2 at Leopardstown last Christmas and made a successful reappearance in a valuable handicap at Down Royal earlier this month, while Anzadam won both hurdle outings in France last year and market support would be significant.

KALA CONTI resumed progress after 9 months off when successful on handicap debut at Down Royal 4 weeks ago and a repeat can likely see her play a lead role once more back in graded company. Anzadam, who was unbeaten in 2 starts in France, is an obvious danger on debut for Willie Mullins, along with Bottler'secret. Wodhooh, who boasts a record of 5-5 over timber, isn't dismissed lightly either.

The promise of rain bodes well for the chances of BOTTLER'SECRET, who was behind Givemefive and Dodger Long at Cheltenham

14:30 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STORMBREAKER stayed well on the Flat, winning twice for James Fanshawe, and following a lengthy absence, has gradually progressed in three outings for current connections. The selection put in an improved round of jumping when landing a 2m2f maiden at Listowel and should be suited by this longer trip. Apple's Of Bresil has always been held in good regard and Barry Connell indicated he prefers conventional hurdles after easily winning a Gowran maiden last month. Disco Dancer (second) and Run For Harry (third) were only separated by a neck when placed behind Sonny May (won again since) at Gowran, while Palamon and Brave Fortune are others to consider.

DISCO DANCER ran another fine race when beaten only by a subsequent winner at Gowran 3 weeks ago, so he's the percentage call to go one better. Stuntman Steve and Stormbreaker are a couple of potential threats in an open-looking affair.

APPLE'S OF BRESIL took his form to new heights when bolting up over this trip at Gowran last month and should take all the beating

15:05 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FALCON EIGHT hasn't raced over hurdles for nearly two years but retains plenty of ability on the Flat and appears on a reasonable mark. The Dermot Weld-trained gelding has run only six times over flights, including being beaten less than a length when third in a Grade 2 over C&D, and was competing off a Flat rating of 101 when placed in a valuable 2m Naas handicap last month. Farmers Lodge showed promise in maiden hurdles before successfully switching to fences here earlier this year. He reverts to hurdles off an attractive rating compared to his chase mark, while others for the shortlist include In For The Night, Tonaghneave Well, Golden Joy and Old Bill Barley.

TONAGHNEAVE WELL found further progress when second in a Navan handicap last time and this longer trip is in his favour, so he gets the nod in a competitive event. Old Bill Barley, Aeros Lucm and Warm In Gorey are all feasible threats.

A bit of a lottery but the step up in trip should suit TONAGHNEAVE WELL and his recent consistency can be rewarded

15:40 Fairyhouse NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This race is run in memory of Gordon Elliott's uncle, Willie, and the Cullentra trainer mounts a strong challenge in his bid to win it for a third successive year. MA JACKS HILL was bought for 310,000 euro soon after beating Sortudo in a Dromahane point-to-point last April and that form received a timely boost when the runner-up won a Tramore bumper in good style on Tuesday. Koktail Brut has a similar profile having also been purchased (for 250,000) at the Punchestown Festival Sale after easily winning a point-to-point. You Proof, runner-up on his only point start for Pat Doyle, also represents powerful connections, while Faithful Follower had Hunsaker well behind when runner-up to the long odds-on Classical Creek at Down Royal.

The market should prove useful with a number having their first start under Rules but MA JACKS HILL was an expensive recruit from points and shades the vote with the Elliott yard having landed each of the last 2 runnings of this race. Willie Mullins' newcomer You Proof and the selection's stablemate Koktail Brut are others to consider. Faithful Follower looks the pick of those with previous bumper form and also commands respect.

The finale can go the way of FAITHFUL FOLLOWER who went close when pulling clear with a nice prospect at Down Royal earlier this month

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.
