The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
TINA MEEHAN ran out a facile winner when romping home by 14 lengths on her racecourse debut in a Tramore bumper back in October and Willie Mullins' mare is hard to oppose now tackling hurdles for the first time. The Grey Dove finished a respectable second back over obstacles at Punchestown last month and appears the chief threat now faced with a stiffer test. Castra Vetera is lightly raced for an eight-year-old and could also have a say in these calmer waters.
TINA MEEHAN looked an exciting prospect when winning a bumper at Tramore in October and can make a winning start in this sphere. The Grey Dove has the best hurdles form so is next best ahead of point-winner Gentle And Kind.
An impressive winner of a bumper at Tramore, TINA MEEHAN looks another useful recruit to hurdling for Closutton.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HAMARTIA posted another solid effort in defeat when finishing third at Tramore last month and the Colm Murphy-trained six-year-old could gain a breakthrough success at the fifth time of asking over hurdles. Cash The Cheque shaped better than the beaten distance at Down Royal, with Anthony McCann's mare one to note now returned to maiden company. The lightly-raced Aeros Luck and more experienced Rock On Pedro can't be discounted in their current form either.
ROCK ON PEDRO improved when runner-up in a handicap at Tramore and, with further progress entirely possible, he could be the answer. Next on the list is Hamartia, who appeared to find 21f too much of a test last time and she hit the crossbar over this C&D on her penultimate start. Cash The Cheque and Cullagh Pride are others with claims.
HAMARTIA has shaped as if there is more to come from her and the slight drop back in trip should see her give this a good go.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A capable sort on the Flat and a respectable fourth at Limerick last time out, WAR CORRESPONDENT is very interesting on just his fourth start under NH Rules. Placed in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last November, the four-year-old could be well treated off a mark of 118 on his handicap debut and he can see off the challenge of easy Downpatrick scorer Moonovercloon. Weddell Sea is another leading contender on the back of a fine effort in defeat at Listowel last month.
MOONOVERCLOON did the job well enough at Downpatrick last time to suggest that he will be capable of going in again off this 7 lb higher mark. Fit from the Flat, War Correspondent looks a big threat on his handicap debut in this sphere, while Weddell Sea is third choice ahead of I Don't Get It.
A competitive contest but WAR CORRESPONDENT looks the least exposed and a mark of 118 looks within reach

BRIDESWELL LAD may not have been seen over the smaller obstacles for a year, but this appeals as an ideal opportunity off a mark 31lb lower than his current chase rating. A determined winner of the valuable Pat Taaffe Handicap Chase at the Punchestown Festival when last in action, he can make his class tell against veteran C&D winner Dorans River and Tuff Days, who has been knocking on the door of late. Completing the shortlist are the likes of More Info, Pearlofflorida and Ranger Billy.
BRIDESWELL LAD showed form verging on useful when landing a pair of handicaps chases in the spring and is potentially thrown in now returning to hurdles, so he's difficult to oppose on that score. More Info and Ranger Billy are a pair of interesting rivals, though.
Eoin Doyle's RANGER BILLY did it nicely over course and distance last time out and could have more to offer at this trip

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
THE FRIDAY MAN lost little in defeat when filling the runner-up spot over an extended 2m6f at Limerick in May and a reproduction of that effort can see him firmly in the picture. He has been progressive on his two chase outings and can get off the mark at the third time of asking. Desertmore House was only narrowly denied over timber here and scored in a point-to-point at the start of his career so is feared most now switching to fences. Summer Tide has a bit to find based on his two chase efforts but could progress now up in distance.
THE FRIDAY MAN has taken pretty well to fences and can get off the mark now stepping up to 3m+ for the first time. Desertmore House ran a cracker in a handicap hurdle here last time and could pose the chief threat if taking to this new discipline. The selection's stablemate Au Fleuron had an excuse for his no show on his chase debut last autumn and could also play a part, while the returning Willie Mullins runner Sky Sprinter needs a betting check.
This looks like a good opportunity for THE FRIDAY MAN(nap) to get off the mark over fences and he should win.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
An impressive winner of the Mayo National, this stiffer stamina test may not be enough to stop TULLYBEG from going in again and he can secure a National double in the very capable hands of Michael O'Sullivan, despite having to compete off an 8lb higher mark. Foxy Jacks bounced back to form when runner-up behind Stealthy Tom in the Connacht National and might be able to improve past the winner. Life In The Park had to settle for third behind the selection when sent off favourite at Ballinrobe, but could close the gap at least on the revised terms.
MARS HARPER has dropped back to the same mark as when second in a competitive Leopardstown handicap in March and might be worth siding with to provide the Gordon Elliott/Jack Kennedy partnership with a third win in this race. The thriving Stealthy Tom, Pont Aval and Foxy Jacks head the dangers. The unexposed Choice of Words would also need considering if getting a run.
A chance is taken on C&D winner FAIRYHILL RUN to come back to form and improve upon her third in this last year.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LUCKY ZEBO, a winner at this venue over hurdles, has every chance of making a successful chasing debut. The Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding is a lightly-raced, progressive young horse who comes here on the back of two wins. Although yet to race over regulation fences, the six-year-old does have the benefit of three point-to-point runs. Pearl Of The West looks a big threat from the in-form John McConnell yard. The daughter of Teofilo has acquitted herself with credit on her first two starts over fences and that experience will be a huge advantage in this company. Tucson Train, a point-to-point winner in his early days, remains open to progression given that he has had just the 10 starts under Rules.
LUCKY ZEBO has a progressive profile over hurdles and, given his pointing background, he's the type to do even better in this sphere, so he's a confident choice to make a winning chasing debut at the likely expense of Pearl of The West. Time Marches on is open to improvement and isn't without hope.
After a pair of solid chase efforts, PEARL OF THE WEST should be able to get off the mark in this sphere, getting 7lb from the geldings

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.
