The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ST FAZ had a good run when third on the Flat at Navan recently and that form was boosted when the runner-up went one better at the same venue during the week. He has been placed in two of his three starts over hurdles, one of which was at this venue, and will enjoy getting back on good ground. How About No won an all-weather maiden in February and is rated a few pounds higher than the selection on the level. He is an interesting hurdling debutant. Point-to-point winner Heroes Rise may improve enough from his first start over hurdles at Fairyhouse to have place claims in a race lacking depth.
HOW ABOUT NO landed a Dundalk maiden on the second of his three starts on the Flat in February and appeals as the type to make his mark in this sphere. He earns the vote ahead of St Faz, who is the clear pick of those with hurdling experience. Spitfire Fighter showed signs of ability on the level and is worth a second look, while point winner Heroes Rise should leave his low-key hurdles debut effort well behind in time.
A Flat winner on good ground, ST FAZ has shown enough in three maiden hurdle runs on heavy to suggest that he can win this.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Edward O'Grady has a good chance of landing the opener with St Faz and could again be the man to follow here as IRISH PANTHER has some very strong form in the book. He was placed in bumpers behind the likes of Fact to File and Ballyburn and his two placed efforts over hurdles also read well. He returns from a break and appears to have been found a good opportunity as long as he is comfortable on this quicker ground. Point-to-point winner Al Gasparo was runner-up over hurdles for the second time at Tramore last month where he showed he could handle good ground. Sionnach Eile won a premier handicap on the Flat at the Galway festival in 2022 and ran well in the same race last summer. He's a noteworthy hurdling debutant.
IRISH PANTHER and Al Gasparo both look capable of winning a race of this nature, while Sionnach Eile would be a big threat if translating his useful Flat form to this sphere at the first attempt. Though a shade disappointing when beaten over 14 lengths at Thurles on his latest start in November, Irish Panther gets the nod. It's unlikely that he faces a rival of the same level of ability as the winner of that Thurles race (Daddy Long Legs) here. Lieber Nicc will be a threat if getting a run.
Though he lacks a recent run, IRISH PANTHER holds the strongest form on show and has the ability to win this.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, below form twelfth of 19 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Leopardstown (18f, soft) 98 days ago. Won this last year; not at her best over the winter but go well even with a 7lb penalty. |

6th (2) (4/1 +38%) Effernock Fizz |
4/1(+38%) | (2) Effernock Fizz 4/1, Useful hurdler. C&D winner. 40/1, seventeenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won a big Fairyhouse handicap in March; hampered at Punchestown last time; can't rule out. |

Should improve. Won at Tramore last time; plenty more needed but appreciates better ground, not discounted. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SHECOULDBEANYTHING won this last year and returned to Killarney to land a valuable handicap hurdle in August. She hasn't been at her best on her last couple of starts and has to give away weight all around but will enjoy getting back on spring ground and her C&D record makes her hard to oppose. Gordon Elliott has a strong hand and his other runner Royal Eagle is rated to beat the selection on these terms. Very progressive in handicap hurdles last summer, she'll be sharper for her return to action at Punchestown. The teak tough Effernock Fizz landed a big pot in game style at Fairyhouse over Easter. Well held since, she'll enjoy the ground and has such a willing attitude that she can never be discounted.
The vote in this trappy-looking contest goes to ROYAL EAGLE, who didn't offer much when returning from a break at Punchestown recently but she should come on for that and the drying ground will aid her cause. Shecouldbeanything is 2-2 over this C&D, including winning this race 12 months ago, and she is an obvious threat, despite carrying a penalty. Gaillimh A Run needs to step up considerably but she is open to improvement, while an on-song Effernock Fizz would certainly have a chance.
Though she has a fair bit to find on ratings, GAILLIMH A RUN revels on decent ground and is a sporting selection to score.

5/1(-82%) | (7) Icare Desbois 5/1, 6/4, didn't need to improve to win 19-runner novice hurdle at Naas (16.5f, soft) 26 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. Disappointed before winning Naas maiden; good chance he can go well off this opening mark. |

|PU| (2) (3/1 +54%) Encanto Bruno |
3/1(+54%) | (2) Encanto Bruno 3/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. 10/1, ninth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, heavy) 137 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more persuasive. Two bumper wins, best hurdles form when winning Irish-dominated novice event at Cheltenham. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (18/1 +10%) Common Practice |
18/1(+10%) | (1) Common Practice 18/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in December. 33/1, seventeenth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 98 days ago. Mark Walsh prefers So Scottish. Won a Listed handicap at Fairyhouse in December, fair chance if finding that from again. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ENCANTO BRUNO looked a smart novice on good ground last year readily landing the odds in a Bellewstown maiden and again winning easily at Cheltenham in October. The Mahler gelding couldn't repeat that form in both outings since on soft ground and now comes here off a break since Christmas with conditions to suit. Icare Desbois won a valuable sales bumper at Fairyhouse last year but hasn't always jumped fluently before finally opening his hurdle account in a Naas maiden last month. Common Practice and By Your Side filled the first two places in a valuable handicap on the Hattons Grace card at Fairyhouse, while Rock On Seamie is another to consider.
ICARE DESBOIS got the job done at the fifth attempt in this sphere when landing a big-field Naas maiden last month and, with the likelihood of better to come from this 6-y-o now handicapping, he is taken to follow up. So Scottish has slipped to an attractive mark and will be a big threat if he puts his best foot forward, while the hat-trick seeking Cheerful Chap and Zeeband are others to consider.
Now that he has a maiden hurdle win under his belt ICARE DESBOIS may begin to deliver on the promise he showed with a debut bumper win

Creditable 3 lengths second of 5 to Search For Glory in Grade 3 hurdle (4/1) at Cork (24f, heavy) 154 days ago. 2-3 over hurdles here and strong claims on chase debut.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SOLITARY MAN progressed well over hurdles last year including winning twice at this venue and showed plenty of stamina when landing a 3m Listed event at Cork in November. The Enda Bolger-trained gelding has always been viewed as a future chaser and now takes the first step over larger obstacles. Duffle Coat was a prolific winner in juvenile hurdles and, while without a win since, has filled the runner-up spot four times over fences this year including over this trip at Downpatrick last month. Music Of Tara opened her account over hurdles in a competitive 2m4f handicap at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting and the point-to-point winner successfully switched to fences over the same trip at Tipperary last month.
Having created a good impression on her recent chase debut at Tipperary, MUSIC OF TARA is taken to make it 2-2 in this sphere with this step up in trip unlikely to inconvenience her in the least. Solitary Man brings solid hurdles form to the table and will be a big threat if his jumping passes the test, while both Gaelic Arc and Duffle Coat also have claims in an intriguing novice chase.
With the benefit of five chase runs under his girth, including in a valuable Punchestown handicap last time, DUFFLE COAT can score.

200/1(-300%) | (4) Imperial Fox 200/1, Pulled up in novice chase at Tramore (21.8f, good, 33/1) on debut over fences 20 days ago. Dual point winner on good ground, poor form on the track so far, up against it. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SAYLAVEE looks a class apart given a clear round on her chasing debut. The Willie Mullins-trained mare won four times (2 bumpers/2 hurdles) in 2022 including a Listed 2m3f Punchestown mares' novice and has been placed on both outings this year including a 3m handicap at Ayr last month. Costanuci was progressive over hurdles at a lower level last year winning three handicaps including when beating Sea Aster at the Listowel Festival, while Henning also won three hurdle races but hasn't progressed over fences and comes here off a fall at Ballinrobe. Pebble Bleu showed modest form over hurdles but gave some encouragement when second on her chase debut at Thurles.
SAYLAVEE's hurdles form is superior to anything that any of these rivals have achieved and, barring accidents, she should have little trouble in making a winning chase debut here. Pebble Bleu stepped up on her low-key exploits over timber when runner-up starting out in this sphere at Thurles and she is clear second choice ahead of Sea Aster.
This should be straightforward for SAYLAVEE who won a bumper at this venue and reached a good standard of form as a 137-rated hurdler.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (8) (11/1 +0%) True Faith |
11/1(+0%) | (8) True Faith 11/1, 9/4, didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner minor event chase at Gowran (25f, good to soft). Off 19 months ahead of this handicap debut, so wellbeing has to be taken on trust but he could be on a good mark and needs a close look in the betting. Took to chasing well two seasons ago winning the last two of his four races, long absence. |

|F| (7) (22/1 -120%) Cavalry Master |
22/1(-120%) | (7) Cavalry Master 22/1, Course winner. Creditable second of 6 in handicap chase (5/1) at Wexford (19.4f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he's in with an each-way shout. Only just denied in a veterans' chase at Wexford, this company will be more demanding. |

12/1(+14%) | (14) The Abbey 12/1, 11/2, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Down Royal (26.2f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly. Fourth behind today's rival Brideswell Lad at Leopardstown, no progress at Down Royal. |

33/1(-175%) | (5) Irish Blaze 33/1, Latest win in chase at Down Royal in January. 18/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, soft) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip and couldn't rule out. Had done well on his three Irish starts for Cian Collins, stamina may be an issue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (16/1 -129%) Birchdale |
16/1(-129%) | (4) Birchdale 16/1, Latest win in chase at Punchestown in November. Pulled up in minor event chase at Punchestown (33f, good to soft, 4/1) 10 days ago, pulled up before last. Back down in trip and blinkers back on. Creditable third behind Brideswell Lad at Leopardstown, ran out of steam in La Touche Cup. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
JUMPING JET bids for his second 'National' in just over a fortnight after showing great reserves of stamina to take the Ulster version at Downpatrick and should give a good account off a 7lb higher mark. Midnight Our Fred has filled the runner-up spot on his last three outings in staying handicaps at Cheltenham and deserves a change of luck, while Cavalry Master and Macgiloney filled the places behind Shadow Master over 2m3f at Wexford last month and both are effective over a longer trip. Birchdale still held every chance when falling two out in this race last year but needs to bounce back after being pulled up before the last in the La Touche at Punchestown recently. Stealthy Tom is a four-time winner here over fences.
A much-deserved first success over fences beckons for MIDNIGHT OUR FRED, who has found just one too good on each of his three starts since switched to handicaps in this sphere (all at Cheltenham). He was clear of the rest when chasing home another novice upped to 3½m back from a break last month and is 1 lb lower here. True Faith is very much of interest, despite returning form a lengthy absence, and he is feared most ahead of Jumping Jet, who looks the pick of the Gordon Elliott-trained trio.
A wide-open race in which MIDNIGHT OUR FRED has an excellent chance of going one better after three seconds at Cheltenham.

Entitled to come on for the run. Half-brother to several winners, dam a half-sister to Grand Annual winner Tiger Cry. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FLORIDA STRAIT makes plenty of appeal on pedigree being a brother to Irish Cesarewitch winner Magellan Strait and the dam has produced plenty of winners, including another useful stayer Lagostovegas, who won at Royal Ascot. Patrick Mullins is an interesting booking on Kalium who cost 62,000 euro last summer and is a half-brother to a couple of winners in France while Gather Yourself, Light On His Feet and Derryville are other newcomers to note. Those with form make limited appeal, although the heavy going was put forward as an excuse for Spinola Bay when he was bitterly disappointing at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting.
FLORIDA STRAIT and Kalium both make plenty of appeal on paper and are expected to come to the fore. The former is particularly appealing and shades preference ahead of Sean Doyle's representative, for whom the booking of Patrick Mullins catches the eye. Spinola Bay was disappointing on his introduction at Fairyhouse but better was clearly expected (strong in the betting that day) and he is best of the rest.
The market may help to clarify the picture, but the Flat-bred FLORIDA STRAIT gets the vote to beat Kalium and Spinola Bay.

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.
