---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (3) (2/1 +11%) Corbetts Cross |
2/1(+11%) | (3) Corbetts Cross 2/1, Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. Promising third of 9 in novice chase (11/10) at Naas (20f, soft) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Seems sure to build on that and holds leading claims. Best of these hurdling but needs to improve on an underwhelming recent chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (7/4 +47%) Three Card Brag |
7/4(+47%) | (12) Three Card Brag 7/4, Useful hurdler who kept good company last term. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut and sort to do well for his in-form stable. 138-rated novice hurdler last term, winning here; has to respected on chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (10/1 -18%) Monty's Star |
10/1(-18%) | (9) Monty's Star 10/1, Lightly-raced but useful winner over hurdles at Clonmel in February. Off 8 months. Makes chase debut and one to consider. Grade 3-winning novice hurdler last term; half-brother to smart chaser Monalee. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (5/2 -67%) Nick Rockett |
5/2(-67%) | (11) Nick Rockett 5/2, Points winner who readily made it 2-2 over hurdles at Fairyhouse (2m4f) in April. Off 7 months but rates an interesting chasing debutant. Really progressive in light hurdling campaign; potentially high-class novice chaser. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (18/1 +0%) Aime Desjy |
18/1(+0%) | (1) Aime Desjy 18/1, Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Good third of 6 in minor event hurdle at Sligo (17.5f, soft, 9/2) 36 days ago. Makes chase debut. Up in trip. Yard having good spell. Considered. 130-rated novice hurdler now switches to fences and has to be respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (50/1 -127%) Cadatharla |
50/1(-127%) | (2) Cadatharla 50/1, Useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Naas in January. Respectable fourth of 19 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.7f, soft, 7/2). Off 7 months. Much respected on his chase debut. 128-rated hurdler potentially decent novice chaser but Mark Walsh prefers Corbetts Cross. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (80/1 -142%) Karuma Grey |
80/1(-142%) | (8) Karuma Grey 80/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 5/1, fourth of 8 in novice chase at Punchestown (15.6f, soft) on debut over fences 16 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Possibilities. 121-rated hurdler and promising chase debut at Punchestown but more required here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (28/1 -133%) My Immortal |
28/1(-133%) | (10) My Immortal 28/1, Useful winner at 25f over hurdles. 15/2, good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, good to soft). Off 12 months. Makes chase debut. Market can guide. 134-rated staying hurdler; back from year's absence for chasing debut and tough ask. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (50/1 -127%) Good Time Jonny |
50/1(-127%) | (5) Good Time Jonny 50/1, Promising sort. 11/2, creditable fourth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good), finishing with running left. Off 7 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Should improve. Smart staying hurdler but needs to jump much better than on two previous chase runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (150/1 -88%) Jump The Shark |
150/1(-88%) | (7) Jump The Shark 150/1, Fair hurdler. Tenth of 12 in novice chase at Navan (17f, heavy, 80/1) on debut over fences 14 days ago. Up in trip with lots more needed. Limited enough hurdler gathering more experience over fences here but owner's third-choice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (150/1 -127%) Kates Hill |
150/1(-127%) | (13) Kates Hill 150/1, Fair hurdler. Eighth of 12 in novice chase at Navan (17f, heavy, 100/1) 14 days ago. Up in trip with work to do. Dual point-to-point winner easily opposed on evidence of two recent efforts over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (250/1 +17%) Howishedizzy |
250/1(+17%) | (6) Howishedizzy 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Last of 9 in novice chase (250/1) at Naas (20f, soft) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Tailed off (jumped novicey) on last month's chasing debut at Naas; easily passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (250/1 -25%) Finnfaraway |
250/1(-25%) | (4) Finnfaraway 250/1, Sixth of 11 in novice chase (200/1) at Thurles (22f, soft) on NH debut 9 days ago. Needs to build on it. Maiden pointer well held on recent chase debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Corbetts Cross, Three Card Brag, Good Time Jonny and NICK ROCKETT all showed a similar level of form over hurdles last season and jumping will prove key here in determining a pecking order over fences. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding progressed rapidly last term, winning a bumper and maiden hurdle before impressing here in a 2m4f Grade 2 when drawing right away in the closing stages. Corbetts Cross also won a Grade 2 over hurdles and went off favourite for the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham when running out at the final flight. He should benefit from a run over fences at Naas last month, while Three Card Brag won twice over hurdles last season, including at this venue. Good Time Jonny won the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham but has shown little on both previous chase outings, while Monty's Star and My Immortal are others to note in what should prove a highly informative race.
Lots of potential on show, not least in the shape of Emmet Mullins' useful winning hurdler CORBETTS CROSS and he is fancied to build on his promising chase debut Naas third and win the first of many races over fences. Both Nick Rockett and Three Card Brag are in excellent hands and make plenty of chasing appeal so can have a say too in a cracking contest.
A high-class beginners' chase in which NICK ROCKETT gets the vote, ahead of Monty's Star and Three Card Brag

1st (2) (9/1 -29%) So Des Flos |
9/1(-29%) | (2) So Des Flos 9/1, Fairly useful winner at 21f over hurdles. 14/1, failed to build on his chasing debut when fifth of 9 in beginners chase at Naas (20f, soft) 20 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut and would be foolish to ignore for a yard going great guns. Stiff task latest in strong beginners; inexperience a possible negative entering handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/2 +71%) Sweet Will |
7/2(+71%) | (5) Sweet Will 7/2, Fairly useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 4/1, pulled up in handicap chase at this course (24.5f, soft) 8 weeks ago, folding tamely home turn. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Worth a look in the market given connections. Pulled up here in October but remains potentially well-handicapped over fences; new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (5/1 +33%) Where's Frankie |
5/1(+33%) | (7) Where's Frankie 5/1, Reeled off a big-field hat-trick over both hurdles and fences at this venue early in 2022. 6/5, failed to meet expectations when fourth of 13 in handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 20 months ago but retains the potential to do better provided all is well. In fine form here in early 2022; 20 months absent but market support should be heeded. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (16/5 -16%) Reddys Island |
16/5(-16%) | (9) Reddys Island 16/5, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase (6/4) at Thurles (22f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Had to work hard to get the job done on Thursday, so that tempers enthusiasm somewhat here under a penalty. Good winner over the trip at Thurles on Thursday; interesting if turning out again quickly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (18/1 -227%) Where It All Began |
18/1(-227%) | (1) Where It All Began 18/1, Acquitted himself pretty well on first 3 starts switched to fences last season. Ran no sort of race on handicap debut at Ayr (24.1f, good) when last seen in April but would be folly to discount back on these shores. Let down by jumping in Ayr novices' handicap latest; questions to answer on return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 +20%) Weihnachts |
8/1(+20%) | (6) Weihnachts 8/1, Course winner. 17/2, shaped as if retaining ability after 4 months off when third of 9 in handicap chase at this course (24.3f, heavy) 8 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort. Didn't quite stay 3m after racing keenly here 8 days ago; back in trip and major claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (7/1 +50%) Rebellious Gale |
7/1(+50%) | (8) Rebellious Gale 7/1, 13/2, again shaped better than the bare result when seventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24.3f, good to soft) 7 months ago, too far back to launch a proper challenge. Switches from hurdles to chase. Probably best watched on reappearance. Absent since May and may need this; only second chase start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (10/1 -25%) Mount Brown |
10/1(-25%) | (3) Mount Brown 10/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 13/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Down Royal (16.4f, soft) 22 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not really progressing at 2m, tried upped in trip now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (4) (14/1 -75%) Tempo Chapter Two |
14/1(-75%) | (4) Tempo Chapter Two 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fifth of 11 in beginners chase at Wexford (16f, heavy, 12/1) 15 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Not taken lightly. Fair form in five chase starts without looking progressive; more needed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand with three runners and REDDYS ISLAND could provide the Cullentra team with yet another winner if making a quick reappearance. The mare has returned in good form this season and was patiently ridden to score over a similar trip at Thurles on Thursday. Where It All Began could take a hand if brushing up his jumping, while Limerick maiden hurdle winner So Des Flos has kept some good company over fences and now makes his handicap debut. Mount Brown is unproven over this trip, while Where's Frankie won three times here early last year but reappears after a lengthy absence. Sweet Will progressed well for Gavin Cromwell last season, winning three times over hurdles and also going close over fences, but has changed yards recently after losing his way.
Cases can be made for several, but the vote goes to WHERE'S FRANKIE, who rattled off a big-field hat-trick at the start of 2022 and provided he's ready to roll after 20 months off, Karl Thornton's 7-y-o retains the potential to do better. Second choice is Tempo Chapter Two, who has made a sound start to his chasing career and the step back up in trip could be just what's required. Where It All Began and Sweet Will can fight out third spot.
Thursday's Thurles winner Reddys Island is very interesting but it could pay to side with the experienced WEIHNACHTS

1st (6) (Evens +50%) Firefox |
Evens(+50%) | (6) Firefox Evens, Highly promising type who completed the hat-trick in bumpers when making a winning return at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 22 days ago. Caught the eye on sole previous outing over hurdles and is a big player here. Has smart form to his name including win over Ile Atlantique here in April; will be in mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/11 -47%) Ballyburn |
10/11(-47%) | (2) Ballyburn 10/11, Confirmed impression he'd made on debut when winning 9-runner bumper at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) in April, forging clear. Fascinating hurdling recruit. Point winner; 2 bumper winners; staying chaser in the making; could have enough class. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (20/1 +0%) Irancy |
20/1(+0%) | (11) Irancy 20/1, Won 14-runner bumper at Durtal (14.4f, soft). Off over 2 years. Makes hurdles debut. First run for yard after leaving Mlle D. Mele. Trainer going well. Worth a second look in the market. Bumper winner in France and decent pedigree (half-brother to Darasso); check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (100/1 -52%) Doctor Glide |
100/1(-52%) | (5) Doctor Glide 100/1, €95,000 3-y-o, Doctor Dino gelding. Half-brother to 1m-1¼m winner Cloud Dancer. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 2½m) Captain Conan. Interesting newcomer. Doctor Dino gelding; 95,000eur 3yo; half-brother to Flat winner; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (8/1 -60%) Helvic Dream |
8/1(-60%) | (9) Helvic Dream 8/1, Useful Flat winner who arrives on back of good second of 11 in listed race at the Curragh (12f, heavy) 27 days ago. Will be dangerous if taking to hurdling. Smart on Flat; interesting on hurdle bow and not ruled out if transferring all his ability. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (100/1 +0%) Hackney Hill |
100/1(+0%) | (8) Hackney Hill 100/1, €33,000 3-y-o, Califet gelding. Half-brother to The Silent Trainer. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (2m-3m winner) Morning Assembly. Califet gelding; 33,000euros 3yo; stoutly bred and likely best watched on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (66/1 -65%) Ataboycharlie |
66/1(-65%) | (1) Ataboycharlie 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft) 20 days ago. Work to do. Outran 40s when 2nd on debut but tailed off over further since; drop back to 2m may help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (17) (66/1 -100%) Ossie's Lodge |
66/1(-100%) | (17) Ossie's Lodge 66/1, Promising sort. Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. Won 13-runner bumper (11/8) at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft), bit in hand. Off 7 months. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Should improve. Improved with each run last term, winning bumper latest but plenty to find here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (24) (150/1 +0%) Magic Olinger |
150/1(+0%) | (24) Magic Olinger 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Bit below form sixth of 22 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Punchestown (16.5f, soft) 16 days ago. Shown bits of promise in bumpers and over hurdles so far but a lot more on her plate here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (40/1 -60%) Intent Approach |
40/1(-60%) | (10) Intent Approach 40/1, Promising individual. Fifth of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, soft, 5/1) on hurdles bow 27 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress. 18-1 2nd in Punchestown bumper on debut but form didn't work out; low-key hurdle bow since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (16) (40/1 -21%) Lehaunstown |
40/1(-21%) | (16) Lehaunstown 40/1, €65,000 3-y-o, Sir Percy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including bumper winner Bentworth Boy. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. Market check advised on debut. Sir Percy gelding; 65,000eu 3yo; half-brother to three winners (incl' bumper); interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (19) (100/1 -52%) Scorsese |
100/1(-52%) | (19) Scorsese 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Point winner who posted solid fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) on NH debut 142 days ago. Down in trip. More needed to figure here. Point winner; well held 4th on rules debut and this is much tougher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (14) (100/1 +0%) Kings Hill |
100/1(+0%) | (14) Kings Hill 100/1, Kingston Hill gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler (2½m winner) Stick With Bill. Kingston Hill gelding; dam unraced half-sister to 2 winners; unlikely to be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (125/1 -89%) Jerk |
125/1(-89%) | (13) Jerk 125/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifth of 14 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 100/1) 11 days ago. Best run yet when fifth of 14 in a maiden hurdle at Limerick last week but plenty to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (15) (200/1 +0%) Kuriosa |
200/1(+0%) | (15) Kuriosa 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 17 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 21 days ago. Shown nothing at triple figure odds in three runs so far. |

150/1(+25%) | (26) Folly Master 150/1, Winning pointer. Twice-raced maiden under Rules. Fifteenth of 22 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft, 200/1) 20 days ago. RESERVE. Point winner; only minor promise on rules debut and tailed off at Naas since; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (23) (100/1 +0%) Crecora Hills |
100/1(+0%) | (23) Crecora Hills 100/1, Promising sort. Fourth of 15 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 21 days ago, running on. May well do better. Distant 4th when 50s last month and more of a long term prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||

150/1(+0%) | (4) Brogue Man River 150/1, Ol' Man River gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 23f) Devils Bride. Market check advised on debut. Ol' Man River gelding; dam unraced; likely best watched on debut. |

66/1(-32%) | (20) Shigar 66/1, Fairly useful Flat winner, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 9/2, fourth of 5 in minor event at Galway (8.6f, good to soft) 81 days ago, not clear run. Hood on for 1st time in this code. Useful form on the Flat up to 1m but not really bred for this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BALLYBURN and Firefox are two exciting bumper winners and together with Group 1 Flat winner Helvic Dream, make this a mouthwatering maiden hurdle. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding won his point-to-point in good style and impressed when scoring twice at Punchestown earlier this year, including at the Festival meeting. Firefox caught the eye on debut over hurdles at Navan 12 months ago and has shown a high level of form in bumpers, winning three times, including on his reappearance at Down Royal last month. Helvic Dream won the Tattersalls Gold Cup back in 2021 and while not at that level now, was second last time in a Listed race at the Curragh. Any support for newcomer Lehaunstown would be interesting.
Three-time bumper scorer FIREFOX has hurdling experience under his belt and should be spot on after an easy return victory at Down Royal last month. He is narrowly preferred to the highly exciting Ballyburn, who is ante-post favourite for the Ballymore at the Cheltenham Festival despite not having jumped an obstacle in public thus far. Useful Flat performer Helvic Dream adds further spice to what promises to be a highly informative contest.
BALLYBURN has won with any amount in hand on both rules starts so far and further progress is expected here; he's the one to beat

1st (11) (4/1 +20%) Waterford Whispers |
4/1(+20%) | (11) Waterford Whispers 4/1, Progressed from debut to get off the mark at the second attempt in 12-runner maiden at Galway (16.4f, heavy, 11/4) 35 days ago, pushed out. Up in trip. Trainer going well. Should have even more to offer. Won Galway maiden going away; should relish this longer trip and Walsh's choice. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/1 +33%) Answer To Kayf |
5/1(+33%) | (1) Answer To Kayf 5/1, Left hurdling debut form well behind to win 18-runner maiden hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 25/1) 41 days ago, going clear. Back up in trip. Beat a subsequent Grade 3 winner in Limerick maiden; every chance he'll stay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (28/1 +0%) Luminous Light |
28/1(+0%) | (9) Luminous Light 28/1, Fairly useful hurdler who ran out a comfortable winner of a juvenile event at Cork in April. Of a similar standard on the Flat but ran poorly at Down Royal on most recent outing in that sphere in September. Cork maiden winner and Downpatrick novice second; has a bit to find at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (100/1 -100%) Stormy Judge |
100/1(-100%) | (10) Stormy Judge 100/1, Useful chaser who looked rusty returning from 20 months off when down the field at Gowran (16f, heavy) 21 days ago. Up in trip. Much better chaser and inadequate trip here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (8/1 -14%) Western Fold |
8/1(-14%) | (6) Western Fold 8/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and ran out a comprehensive winner of 17-runner maiden at Gowran (16f, heavy) 21 days ago. Up in trip. Open to progress. Runaway Gowran winner going the right way but much stiffer task here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7/4 +13%) Redstone |
7/4(+13%) | (3) Redstone 7/4, Overcame inexperience to make a successful debut over hurdles in 12-runner maiden at this course (16f, soft) 61 days ago, cosily. Up in trip and could be useful. Travelled well in winning maiden here in October; nice prospect and could well play a role. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (20/1 +0%) Sundial |
20/1(+0%) | (8) Sundial 20/1, Opened his account over hurdles in a maiden at Kilbeggan in July. However, proved a disappointment at Galway the following month and fared no better back on the Flat at the Curragh last time. Last season's Boodles fourth needs to jump much better than at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (17/2 -70%) Release The Beast |
17/2(-70%) | (4) Release The Beast 17/2, Made a winning start to his career in the style of a potentially useful prospect in 9-runner maiden at Galway (16.4f, heavy) 35 days ago, easily. Up in trip. Sure to improve. Galway maiden quite impressive and 4yo has plenty of scope so looks an exciting prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (17/2 -21%) Any Road |
17/2(-21%) | (2) Any Road 17/2, Fairly useful in bumpers and ran to a similar level to win 12-runner maiden at Clonmel (16.4f, heavy) on hurdles bow 23 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve. Clonmel maiden winner with good chance of staying 2m4f; much stiffer task here though. |

10th (7) (25/1 -25%) Ochocinco |
25/1(-25%) | (7) Ochocinco 25/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning hurdling debut at Down Royal in June. Sill needed experience pitched into a handicap when fourth of 7 at Gowran (20.3f) last time and remains unexposed. Inexperience evident on recent handicap debut; may want better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (20/1 -150%) Sportinthepark |
20/1(-150%) | (5) Sportinthepark 20/1, Left his sole outing in bumpers behind to make a successful hurdling debut in 12-runner maiden at Wexford (20f, heavy) 15 days ago, pushed out. Open to improvement. Wexford winner suited by a stamina test but much more on his plate here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
REDSTONE made a successful debut under Rules in a maiden here over two miles that has generally worked out well since. The five-year-old, who held every chance when falling at the last on his only point start, should be suited by this extra half-mile. Release The Beast won with plenty in hand on debut at Galway but on a line through the third-placed Makaela's Choice, may struggle to beat the selection off level weights. Waterford Whispers also won a Galway maiden and is another with plenty of scope for improvement, while Western Fold galloped on strongly to win a Gowran maiden on heavy ground and should be suited by the step up in trip. Answer To Kayf showed much improved form when winning a Limerick maiden on testing ground, while Any Road also won on heavy at Clonmel last month.
WATERFORD WHISPERS got the job done a shade snugly at Galway and is open to plenty more improvement now stepping up in trip, so he's the tentative vote in a competitive event. Redstone and Release The Beast both impressed on their hurdling debuts and head the opposition.
Preference is for ANSWER TO KAYF, who ran away from a Grade 3 winner at Limerick and who could be better again at this longer trip

12/1(-140%) | (3) Fighting Fit 12/1, 9/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap chase at Listowel (17f, soft) 71 days ago, finding plenty. Progressive sort who looks to have been saved for this, so a bold showing is on the cards. Up 17lb for wins at Galway and Listowel; back from another short break so respected. |

Not completely dismissed. Progressive until below-par Down Royal run where jumping iffy; needs to bounce back. |

8th (7) (14/1 -56%) Path D'oroux |

Remains with potential in this sphere. Punchestown festival third reads well; runs well fresh and Blackmore's choice. |

|PU| (6) (13/2 +35%) The Big Chap |
13/2(+35%) | (6) The Big Chap 13/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 7 runs this season. Didn't need to be at best when winning 9-runner novice chase (7/2) at Galway (18.2f, heavy) 35 days ago, responding well. Makes handicap chase debut. Considered. Impressive jumping to win last two; more needed on handicap debut but possible. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Dancing On My Own's victory in a valuable handicap chase at Cheltenham entitles him to respect, although he has to give plenty of weight away and would prefer better ground. THE BIG CHAP is going the right way over fences and could be a shade of each-way value. Paul Flynn's charge took the scalp of a subsequent Cheltenham novices' chase winner over a similar trip at this track in October and followed up over further in Galway. Cut in the ground is ideal for him. Fighting Fit is another hat-trick seeker after landing decent contests at Galway and Listowel. Gavin Brouder's 5lb claim has been a big help to him and the duo have a fair chance. Grey Diamond mixed in good company in Britain and is an interesting recruit for Gordon Elliott, while The Folkes Tiara competes off a lovely light weight.
FIGHTING FIT arrives firmly on the up and the form of his latest success at Listowel looks solid, so he's narrowly preferred to fellow last-time-out winner Dancing On My Own. The Folkes Tiara is another one to consider but a case can be made for most of the others, too.
Likely a strong pace which could set it up nicely for the lightly-weighted ThHE FOLKES TIARA

Open to progress, particularly when granted a stiffer test. Auteuil winner in spring; respectable yard bow when 3rd at Naas last month but more needed. |

Set a stiff task on racecourse debut. Elusive Pimpernel gelding; half-brother to a winner over jumps; huge ask for a newcomer. |

|F| (4) (11/10 +41%) Gust Of Wind |
11/10(+41%) | (4) Gust Of Wind 11/10, Useful hurdler who ran well on just his second start for this yard when fourth in the Triumph at Cheltenham. Not in same form when third in C&D Grade 2 final outing last term but no surprise to see a better showing on return. Auteuil winner last year and useful level of form last season including 10l 4th in Triumph. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
GUST OF WIND has been pitched into a couple of Grade 1 contests, in addition to a Grade 2, in Ireland and should appreciate this starting point on his way to further top-level contests. His best finish was third in a Grade 2 over C&D in April and, interestingly, Willie Mullins has commented that he thinks he will be a Grade 1 horse during his career. His stablemate Risk Belle brings strong form to the contest as she was a close third in the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival and delivered in a Grade A handicap hurdle at this track in April. Nusret is match-fit from the Flat and is a Grade 2 winner over flights. The concession of more than half a stone to all his rivals is a tough task, though. Golden Joy won his sole race over flights in his native France and was widely expected to win on his Irish debut at Naas, but finished third. He is likely to improve upon that effort.
RISK BELLE quickly developed into a useful performer in this sphere, adding to her tally over C&D in April prior to not being seen to best effect at Punchestown later that month. It's feasible to think she can do better again this term and earns the vote in receipt of weight all round. Her stablemate Gust of Wind and Nusret are others fancied to feature.
A drop in class can help GUST OF WIND (nap) get a first win on these shores since switching from France having kept some decent company

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
READ TO RETURN could be one to exploit a stone lower mark over flights compared to his chase mark. This Fame And Glory gelding has been interspersing hurdling and chasing to good effect, and delivered over fences at Killarney in October before being nearest at the finish in fifth in a handicap chase at Cheltenham. He gets in here off a very light weight. Hunting Brook has to rate a significant danger. Gordon Elliott's recruit from Britain has quickly run up two victories in Ireland and there is highly likely to be more to come, even though he has shot up to a mark of 104 from 86. Como Park showed his toughness when getting up to prevail in Cork and should be a factor for Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore. Among the bigger-priced horses, Champion Green has talent but has endured spells on the sidelines.
Tony Martin might hold the key to this. ZANNDABAD should have plenty of scope from this opening handicap hurdle mark judged on his Flat ability and gets the nod, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Stablemate Read To Return caught the eye of the stewards in an amateur riders' chase at Cheltenham last month and is feared back hurdling under professional handling. Hunting Brook and Como Park, both last-time-out winners for top yards, complete the shortlist.
COMO PARK is on an upward curve in this sphere now and a 9lb rise may not be enough to stop him going in again

Dam, bumper/point winner, closely related to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Minella Indo. Won sole start in points (Apr 23). Lots to like. Won a point (form boosted) before selling for £160,000; stoutly bred; check market. |

6th (6) (7/1 +13%) The Other Mozzie |
7/1(+13%) | (6) The Other Mozzie 7/1, Improved on debut form after 6 months off when second of 9 in bumper (7/2) at Galway (16.4f, heavy) 5 weeks ago, no match for winner. Has experience on his side but likely to find a few too strong. 2nd in a point and improved on rules debut when 2nd at Galway in October; form boosted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A small field, but a fiendishly difficult race for punters. Gordon Elliott introduces two expensive point-to-point winners in Binge Worthy and Jalon D'oudairies, who were both the subject of positive reports in a stable tour, while Willie Mullins takes the wraps off Inn At the Park, a son of Walk In The Park. It is probable that all three will have above-average careers on the track. A chance is taken on Gavin Cromwell's THE OTHER MOZZIE, though. He was well backed in Galway at the end of October, but finished second to what looked a very useful winner. His race fitness ought to stand to him against the aforementioned track newcomers.
Gordon Elliott/Willie Mullins look set to dominate this closing bumper and its £420,000 4-y-o point winner JALON D'OUDAIRIES who gets the nod to come out on top before the benefit of market clues. Stablemate Binge Worthy was also successful on his sole outing in points so he can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Willie Mullins' Inn At The Park.
THE OTHER MOZZIE seems to be improving with each run and the form of his recent bumper 2nd has been boosted by two in behind since

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.
