The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, some horses that may have a chance of finishing in the top three include 3.5/1 (12) TOOR MOON, who has shown promise in previous races; 2/1 (10) STARMAN, who has shown promise earlier in the season but has disappointed in the last two runs; and 4.5/1 (4) BROADFORD PUBLICAN, who shaped better in the last race after a few months off and may benefit from being back down in trip. Other horses with potential include 8/1 (9) SIR PRINCE EDMOND, who has improved from previous races, and 11/1 (6) MACANOGUE, who has made a small step forward in the last race. The rest of the horses either have not shown much promise or have struggled in past races, but as with any race, anything can happen on the day.
TOOR MOON has some form and contests a weak race. He contested seven bumpers and showed improvement when finishing fourth to useful types on hurdles debut at Wexford in March and can progress. Sir Prince Edmond ran well enough in a better maiden here last month and remains a fraction unexposed while Broadford Publican was well held on his latest handicap run but had previously run well enough, when gambled, in December. Starman showed ability for Willie Mullins in 2021 before returning following a layoff. He ran well at Naas and probably went too fast on testing ground at Clonmel but isn't straightforward. Ninety thousand pounds has gone west on A Fortune Out West since his point-to-point win while Be Fierce finished fifth in another unplaced maiden in March.
An open-looking maiden with the vote going to BROADFORD PUBLICAN, who should be all the better for a recent run and remains open to improvement now dropping back in trip. Sir Prince Edmond and Starman head the dangers.
STARMAN has had excuses on his last couple of starts and he might be worth giving another chance to at this sort of level

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st: 3.5/1 (5) LASER FOCUS 2nd: 7.5/1 (4) ROYAL EAGLE 3rd: 2.5/1 (13) MISTER WILSON
Useful flat performer MISTER WILSON ran well on recent handicap hurdle debut. A three-time flat winner, he has three-quarters of a length to find and is 2lb worse off with Laser Focus than on a recent course meeting but the selection should improve considerably and likes soft ground. Laser Focus is reliable and capable but would prefer good ground. Royal Eagle was very capable on good ground last summer, winning at the Galway festival and while her lack of a recent run isn't overly concerning, probably needs a sound surface. Hide And Seek's reappearance was disappointing but had a veterinary excuse (reported lame) while Good World would ideally prefer further. Second Subaltern should improve from his recent handicap debut and has some bumper form.
MISTER WILSON produced his best hurdles performance to date when third on handicap debut here 3 weeks ago and given his Flat ability, there should be plenty more to come from him. Laser Focus and Royal Eagle look the pick of the opposition.
It was a promising handicap debut from MISTER WILSON here last time out. He's unexposed in this sphere and a 3lb higher mark is fine

4.5/1(-35%) | (2) Ideal Du Tabert 4.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Only eighth at Fairyhouse over Easter but claims on his 2 placed efforts prior to that. Promise in novice hurdles this year; lesser run latest but should relish return to further. |

4th (6) (5/1 +29%) Lazer Wolf |
5/1(+29%) | (6) Lazer Wolf 5/1, Promising individual. Fourth of 12 in novice hurdle (12/1) at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 7 days ago. Likely to improve. Might be the chief threat to Rule The Wind. Consistent in bumpers and good 4th in a maiden hurdle latest; not ruled out. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 0.8/1 (7) RULE THE WIND seems to be a strong contender, having placed second in a previous novice hurdle race and being described as hard to beat. 7/1 (6) LAZER WOLF is also mentioned as a promising individual and likely to improve, making them a potential threat to 0.8/1 (7) RULE THE WIND. As for third place, it could be any of the other horses mentioned, but 16/1 (11) FLIDAIS is noted to have shown improvement in their previous race and has a pedigree that suggests they may excel at longer distances. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is: 1. 0.8/1 (7) RULE THE WIND 2. 7/1 (6) LAZER WOLF 3. 16/1 (11) FLIDAIS
RULE THE WIND improved from his bumper when running well on recent jumps debut. Out of an unraced half-sister to Brave Inca and previously carrying the Magnier silks, he crucially drifted right on the run-in at Tipperary when beaten by a useful winner and while today's ground is likely to be softer, he is capable. Ideal Du Tabert is also useful and while well held at Fairyhouse last month, had previously run well behind a capable winner at Leopardstown in March and should give the selection a race. Flidais ran well in a course maiden hurdle last month (beating Kileemore Lad into fourth) but faces a stiffer test. Lazer Wolf has ability but probably needs to improve while the three newcomers face experienced rivals.
It's tough to ignore the claims of RULE THE WIND who made a promising start to his hurdle career at Tipperary last month and can strike for the Willie Mullins team. Gavin Cromwell pair Lazer Wolf and Ideal du Tabert may provide the main opposition unless the betting vibes are strong regarding the Gordon Elliott newcomers.
RULE THE WIND was only narrowly denied at Tipperary last month and that form is already starting to take shape

9/1(+18%) | (11) Desertmore House 9/1, 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24.5f, soft) 34 days ago. Can make presence felt. Won at Downpatrick last year; return to form when 4th last month; can go well again. |

6th (4) (25/1 +24%) Macgiloney |

7th (7) (22/1 +45%) The Little Yank |

10/1(+29%) | (13) Run For Pat 10/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in January. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24f, heavy, 12/1) 50 days ago.

Easy to look elsewhere and assessor has cut him some slack. 3 Gr 1 2nds; seems to have lost his way and hasn't shown much in 3 runs for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (22/1 -83%) Bardenstown Lad |
22/1(-83%) | (3) Bardenstown Lad 22/1, Prolific in 2021/22 but struggling for fome at present, nineteenth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good, 33/1) 27 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces. 3rd in 2022's Albert Bartlett but hasn't built on that since; tailed off at Aintree latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (16) (20/1 -82%) Birdie Blitz |
20/1(-82%) | (16) Birdie Blitz 20/1, Two wins from 4 runs last season. 9/4, pulled up in handicap chase at Wexford (25.4f, heavy) 42 days ago, pulled up after 2 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Pulled up when fav over fences last month but in good form over timber previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (33/1 -106%) Happy Jacky |
33/1(-106%) | (2) Happy Jacky 33/1, 8/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Limerick (24.6f, heavy) 61 days ago, behind from before halfway and several errors. No surprise to see him back over timber. In good form last summer when 2nd at Galway twice; doesn't look well treated at present. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (3.33/1 +33%) Law Ella |
3.33/1(+33%) | (8) Law Ella 3.33/1, Promising individual. 11/10, career best when winning 13-runner novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.7f, heavy) 40 days ago, easing clear. Makes handicap hurdle debut and 3m isn't certain to suit but her limit has not yet been reached. 2nd to Nine Graces and went one better at Downpatrick last month; one to consider. |

|PU| (14) (12/1 +14%) Sheishybrid |
12/1(+14%) | (14) Sheishybrid 12/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 18f on Flat. 33/1, respectable seventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.4f, good to soft) 33 days ago, left poorly placed. Won twice over hurdles last term and 2-5 over timber; may have needed latest start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (18/1 -100%) Sweet Will |
18/1(-100%) | (5) Sweet Will 18/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Punchestown (23.6f, good to soft) 15 days ago, behind when pulled up between last 2. Was progressing nicely prior to that. Career best at Doncaster in March; pulled up back on home soil since; stiff mark. |

|PU| (9) (50/1 -25%) Golden Jewel |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Golden Jewel 50/1, Twenty eight runs since last win in 2018. Pulled up in handicap chase (9/2) at Leopardstown (21f, good to soft), pulled up last. Off 16 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Losing run goes back to h'cap hurdle wins in 2018; off since pulling up over fences (2021). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to perform well are 14/1 (14) SHEISHYBRID, 3/1 (6) NINE GRACES, and 6/1 (10) DESERT HEATHER. 14/1 (14) SHEISHYBRID has had recent wins over hurdles and also has experience on the flat, which could give them an edge in this race. 3/1 (6) NINE GRACES is bidding for a hat-trick and has had recent wins in handicap hurdles. 6/1 (10) DESERT HEATHER has had a career-best win on h'cap debut last month and is unexposed as a stayer. It's important to note that horse racing can be unpredictable and there are many factors that can affect a horse's performance on the day of the race.
DESERT HEATHER was an easy winner on her last visit here and may be able to follow up despite a stone hike. The Cloudings mare appreciate the step up in trip and nicer ground when scoring by an impressive nine lengths just over three weeks ago. This is tougher now but that track form is a big plus. Law Ella is another mare who comes into this in fine form after a cosy success at Downpatrick last time. She got 7lb for that four-and-a-half length win and could be competitive again despite the rise. It could be a race between the mares in the field with Nine Graces also holding obvious claims. She's on a hat-trick after wins at Punchestown and Ballinrobe and was good when winning on her handicap debut last time, resulting in a 12lb hike. Former high-class staying hurdle Ronald Pump heads the weights but may find it tough against some progressive rivals.
A good-quality handicap and it may pay to focus on the trio arriving on the up. NINE GRACES is improving fast having been fitted with a tongue tie and is selected to take the step up in class in her stride and complete the hat-trick. With 3m not certain to suit the smooth-travelling mare Law Ella, Desert Heather is feared most.
LEVEL NEVERENDING has been running in some mightily competitive handicaps of late and he may find this a bit easier

1st (4) (3/1 +10%) Get My Drift |
3/1(+10%) | (4) Get My Drift 3/1, Useful winner at 2m over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft, 4/1) 97 days ago. Not taken lightly with the step back up in trip worth exploring. Fine run in a hot Leopardstown handicap last time in cheekpieces; can be closely involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (5/1 +38%) Choice Of Words |
5/1(+38%) | (13) Choice Of Words 5/1, Bumper/fairly useful hurdles winner. 2/1, sixth of 10 in novice chase at Thurles (18f, soft) 55 days ago, blundering 5 out and merely passing beaten horses. However, she represents a good yard and no surprise to see her flourish in this sphere further down the line. Ran ok at Thurles against mares last time; needs to step up significantly in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (7/1 -8%) Dreal Deal |
7/1(-8%) | (2) Dreal Deal 7/1, Useful winner at 21f over hurdles. 22/1, third of 4 in novice chase at Tipperary (20.2f, soft) 24 days ago, fading late on. May well be sharper here given that was his first start for 3 months. Solid third on second chasing start at Tipperary last time (2m4f); should have a major say. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (50/1 +38%) Rotten Row |
50/1(+38%) | (10) Rotten Row 50/1, Fair hurdler. Two wins from 6 runs last season. 22/1, fifth of 8 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21f, good) on debut over fences in October, jumping badl left from halfway. Needs to leave that effort in his wake on return to action. Made mistakes on chasing debut; looks more one for handicaps in this discipline. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/1 -83%) Paul Marvel |
11/1(-83%) | (7) Paul Marvel 11/1, Fairly useful winner at 2m over hurdles. Fourth of 7 in minor event hurdle at Down Royal (24f, good to soft, 15/8) 11 days ago, weakening before 2 out. That was a laboured effort but he remains low-mileage and in excellent hands. Could well get back on track now chasing. Below best over hurdles at Down Royal last time and has to bounce back on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (8/1 +11%) Eye Van |
8/1(+11%) | (3) Eye Van 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 25/1, below form fifth of 9 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Makes chase debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Was well below form at Punchestown last time; cheekpieces on for chasing debut. |

7th (11) (33/1 +18%) Steppenwolf |
33/1(+18%) | (11) Steppenwolf 33/1, Fair hurdler. 7/1, bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (15f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Makes chase debut. Back up in trip. Was disappointing here last time and has a fair bit to find on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (25/1 -25%) Pour Pavore |
25/1(-25%) | (9) Pour Pavore 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/1, fourth of 8 in novice chase at Down Royal (19.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 11 days ago. May well do better. Well beaten on chasing debut at Down Royal and has to improve significantly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (14) (12/1 +76%) Vera Verto |
12/1(+76%) | (14) Vera Verto 12/1, Fair winner at 2m over hurdles. 6/1, fifth of 7 in novice chase at this course (19.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 21 days ago, never landing a blow. Handicaps entitled to be more her bag in this sphere. Ran on late making chasing debut over C&D last time; this is tougher against geldings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (25/1 -108%) Nonbinding |
25/1(-108%) | (15) Nonbinding 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Two wins from 5 runs last season. 11/10, career best when winning 6-runner novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, soft), driven out. Off 6 months. Makes chase debut. Yard having good spell. Reserve 1. Won twice over hurdles last autumn; can run well if getting in; reserve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (1) (125/1 -150%) De Nordener |
125/1(-150%) | (1) De Nordener 125/1, Successful in points and shaped better than distance beaten suggests when fourth in Cross Country Chase at Punchestown (25f) 17 days ago, bad mistake 2 out and unable to recover. May yet have more to offer under Rules. Ran well in a Punchestown banks race for the past two seasons; has to find plenty here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (2.75/1 +8%) Itswhatunitesus |
2.75/1(+8%) | (5) Itswhatunitesus 2.75/1, Useful hurdler. 40/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago, getting no further than the first. Makes chase debut for leading yard in good form and he's one to consider. Rated 132 over hurdles and should take high rank here if taking to fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (25/1 +50%) Too Bright |
25/1(+50%) | (12) Too Bright 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 22/1, respectable seventh of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Makes chase debut. Solid run over hurdles at Punchestown lately but others appeal more on chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (150/1 -127%) Oryx Hustler |
150/1(-127%) | (6) Oryx Hustler 150/1, Modest hurdles winner. First run since leaving Henry De Bromhead (tongue tie/cheekpieces on) pulled up in novice chase (20/1) at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) 25 days ago, weakening soon after 3 out. That was his first start for 22 months and this ought to reveal more. Pulled-up in a beginners' chase lately after an absence; others preferred. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Prediction: 3/1 (5) ITSWHATUNITESUS is likely to do well in this race as a useful hurdler with a high rating. 5/1 (8) PERCY WARNER and 6.5/1 (2) DREAL DEAL are also expected to be in the top 3. The reserves, 7/1 (17) MACDERMOTT and 12/1 (15) NONBINDING, could be strong contenders if they get a run.
GET MY DRIFT sets a good standard here off a mark of 130 and can open his chasing account. The Spanish Moon gelding has been placed in two of his four starts over fences and ran a solid race in a competitive handicap at Leopardstown when last seen in February. This is a more winnable opportunity now. Percy Warner is rated just a pound inferior and looks a danger. The Ocovango gelding has also been in action in handicap company and this probably gives him a better chance of getting closer now. Dreal Deal ran well to finish third at Tipperary last month and is another for the shortlist.
ITSWHATUNITESUS got no further than the first on his latest start over hurdles at Punchestown 2 weeks ago but his overall profile over hurdles is a positive one and, making a quick switch to chasing for his leading yard, he could be the way to go. This is competitive however, with Get My Drift, Percy Warner and Dreal Deal others to note. Paul Marvel certainly can't be ruled out either on his chasing bow.
Having run a fine race in a strong handicap at Leopardstown last time, GET MY DRIFT should be able to get off the mark here.

5/1(+69%) | (10) Dont Go Yet 5/1, 12/1, creditable second of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.4f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

12/1(+14%) | (2) Gallyhill 12/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap chase at Naas (20f, good to soft, 9/1) 75 days ago. Stable in good form. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Fairly consistent but never got involved at Naas last time; has to find more off 1lb lower. |

14/1(-75%) | (4) Falco Blitz 14/1, 12/1, good third of 7 in handicap chase at Limerick (19.6f, soft) 47 days ago, running on. One to consider. Fine third at Limerick last time over this trip; off the same mark today; one to consider. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st: 8/1 (12) ARCTIC AMBITION 2nd: 5/1 (3) CLIFTON WARRIOR 3rd: 8/1 (4) FALCO BLITZ
ARCTIC AMBITION was left to run out a cosy winner here three weeks ago and may be able to defy an 8lb rise. The Arctic Cosmos gelding looked to have the measure of Gali Flight when that rival unseated at the last and went on to record a five-and-a-half length success. Barring one poor run at Leopardstown he has been progressive over fences since joining Gordon Elliott and there may be another one in him. Clifton Warrior doesn't look harshly treated on his first go in handicap company over fences having been runner-up on both chase starts to date. He could be a danger. Pairc Na Ngael won two when last seen in the autumn and the market may prove the best guide to his chances on his return.
Back to form with a close third at Limerick last time, FALCO BLITZ could be the answer. He has slipped to a dangerous mark and is marginally preferred to The Tack Room, who has posted some creditable efforts in recent months and is also feasibly treated. Arctic Ambition and the hat-trick seeking Pairc Na Ngael both command respect, too.
Likely to be suited by stepping up to this trip after a pair of second places in beginners' chases over 2m, CLIFTON WARRIOR can score.

Dam (b76), ran twice in bumpers, half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Pont Alexandre and fairly useful hurdle/chase winner (stayed 19f) Prudhomme. In excellent hands and from a good family, so makes plenty of appeal. By a leading sire and represents outstanding connections, so given maximum respect. |

1.62/1(-47%) | (2) Croke Park 1.62/1, £400,000 4-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Closely related to useful bumper winner Farren Glory, and half-brother to fairly useful 2¾m/25f chase winner True Faith. Trainer going well. Obvious claims.

Dam unraced half-sister to quirky but useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 27f) On The Bridge and fairly useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Fairytale Theatre. Worth a market check. By a leading sire and yard has a decent record in bumpers, so worth a market check. |

JOSHUA DES FLOS is probably the one to beat on bumper form to date. He has been placed in a couple of strong events, chasing home Ballybawn Belter on debut before finishing third to Absolute Notions at Punchestown when last seen in November, and that sets a good standard. £400,000 purchase Croke Park makes his 'track' debut. The Walk In The Park gelding won the second of two starts in point-to-points when scoring at Dromahane in April 2022 having been runner-up on his debut. Willie Mullins saddles newcomer You Oughta Know and he commands obvious respect. The Beat Hollow is out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Pont Alexandre.
CROKE PARK fetched a hefty sum after winning the second of his two starts in points and should be up to making a successful debut for top connections. You Oughta Know is nicely bred and could give him most to think about, while Joshua des Flos is the best of those with Rules form.
It is hard to get away from the claims of JOSHUA DES FLOS(nap), who was third in a strong Punchestown maiden hurdle on his last start
