The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the information provided, the horses that are likely to do well and finish in the top three are 1.63/1 (1) KNOCKANARD LADY, 4/1 (11) ROCCOS INSPIRATION, and 6.5/1 (9) MARY CASSATT. 1.63/1 (1) KNOCKANARD LADY has had a bit of a dip in form but has the potential to do well at this trip if the ground suits. 4/1 (11) ROCCOS INSPIRATION has been frustrating to follow but has shown promise and finished a good second in a recent novice hurdle. 6.5/1 (9) MARY CASSATT has improved significantly in her last run and could do well if she steps up in trip. However, as with any horse race, there is a degree of uncertainty and any of the other horses, including the reserves, could surprise and perform better than expected.
A few of these have been knocking on the door and it may be ROCCOS INSPIRATION's turn this time. The Shirocco mare didn't do a whole lot wrong when chasing home a decent sort in Pink In The Park at Cork nine days ago and a step up in trip looks like it won't do her any harm. She gets an 8lb pull from Knockanard Lady and that could prove crucial. Pat Doyle's mare has been placed on her last three starts and is proven over this trip. She sets the standard off a mark of 114 but does have to concede weight to the field. Mary Cassatt ran well in handicap company at Kilbeggan last time and is still relatively unexposed. She looks another for the shortlist.
KNOCKANARD LADY was reportedly found to be in season when disappointing at Cork and is worth another chance as she sets the standard. Roccos Inspiration and Mary Cassatt are the dangers, although Pure Notions would be an obvious contender for Willie Mullins if getting a run.
Having been a big eyecatcher on Friday, WORKFORADIME (nap) may be able to gain compensation with further and cheekpieces likely to suit

0.44/1(+23%) | (12) The Short Go 0.44/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 8/13, bit below form third of 16 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.2f, heavy), folding. Off 6 months. Yard having good spell. No surprise to see a better showing on return with the hood back on. Placed all 4 hurdle runs; below form latest but return to 2m4f will suit; the one to beat. |

2nd (2) (4/1 +20%) All For Rachel |
4/1(+20%) | (2) All For Rachel 4/1, Fair hurdler. 5/1, very good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.1f, good to soft) 13 days ago, keeping on without matching the winner. A repeat should see him in the mix again. 0-10; back to his best when 2nd in Ballinrobe maiden hurdles but likely to need more here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (33/1 -136%) Pahlavi |
33/1(-136%) | (7) Pahlavi 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden in bumpers. First run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when fifth of 8 in maiden at Dundalk (12f, 13/2). Makes hurdles debut and the betting should guide. Useful Flat form for Jessica Harrington; stamina to prove and off 145 days. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well from this summary, but 0.57/1 (12) THE SHORT GO and 5/1 (2) ALL FOR RACHEL both have promising past performances and could be contenders to finish in the top three. 6/1 (5) EBENEZER SCROOGE also has potential to hit the frame again. However, as there are several reserves in the mix, it is possible that any of these horses could be replaced and potentially surprise with a strong showing.
THE SHORT GO has some strong form in the book and looks the one to beat on his return. The Fame And Glory gelding bumped into some smart sorts early in his career, including The Nice Guy, and was last seen getting turned over at a short price in testing ground at Fairyhouse last November. This is a much weaker contest now and better ground should help. All For Rachel ran well when chasing home Showurappreciation at Ballinrobe recently but his official mark of 105 doesn't set a particularly high standard. Ebenezer Scrooge, third in a Navan maiden hurdle in early March, is open to improvement and could prove a bigger danger.
THE SHORT GO ran below his best when last seen at Fairyhouse 6 months ago but the pick of his exploits over timber gives him sound claims in a maiden distinctly lacking depth and he rates the one to beat in a refitted hood. All For Rachel, on the back of a good second at Ballinrobe 13 days ago, rates the chief threat, ahead of Ebenezer Scrooge.
This looks like a good opportunity for THE SHORT GO who should relish a step back up in trip and he sets a solid standard

1st (2) (0.29/1 +19%) Absurde |
0.29/1(+19%) | (2) Absurde 0.29/1, Smart dual winner on Flat in France (stays 1¼m) who ran creditably when seventh in Longchamp Group 3 (10f) last June. Susequently joined leading NH yard for €260,000 and he's very much of interest now his attentions switch to hurdling. Listed-placed twice on the level; yard's French recruits always warrant respect. |

2nd (5) (3.5/1 +61%) Emily Roebling |
3.5/1(+61%) | (5) Emily Roebling 3.5/1, Fair hurdler. 10/3, career best when winning 11-runner novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, heavy) 45 days ago, jumped on last and all out to hold on. Arrives on the back of career best heavy ground success; effective on quicker; needs more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (100/1 -25%) Winning Smut |
100/1(-25%) | (6) Winning Smut 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 25/1, eighth of 13 in bumper at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) on bumper debut 14 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles and handicaps likely to be more his bag in this sphere. Shown a bit of promise but looks very much up against it at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (28/1 -75%) Privilege |
28/1(-75%) | (4) Privilege 28/1, Fairly useful winner at 1m on Flat. Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Reportedly lost action when pulled up in handicap at Punchestown (19.8f) 19 days ago. Needs to get back on track now. Flat winner; ran well in Leopardstown maiden hurdle 2 years ago but has lost his way since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (250/1 -213%) Ruby Jules |
250/1(-213%) | (7) Ruby Jules 250/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) who was well below her best when last seen, tenth in a 14-runner maiden at Bellewstown (7.8f) in September. Rates a likely outsider making hurdles bow. Modest performer on the Flat and this is a huge ask on hurdle bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (9/1 -157%) Connors Cross |
9/1(-157%) | (1) Connors Cross 9/1, Twice-raced winner under NH rules. 66/1 and hooded for 1st time, won 10-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (20.4f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 82 days ago, always holding on having idled markedly approaching last. May do better again. Point 2nd who got off the mark under Rules latest; form taken a few knocks. |

|PU| (3) (80/1 +60%) How Decc |
80/1(+60%) | (3) How Decc 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Tipperary (16f, soft) 27 days ago, beaten when not fluent 2 out. Up in trip. Modest form so far and tailed off in a handicap off 95 when last seen. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on the limited information provided. However, based on their recent success and form, 9/1 (5) EMILY ROEBLING and 3.5/1 (1) CONNORS CROSS seem to be the strongest contenders. 0.36/1 (2) ABSURDE also has potential as a smart dual winner on the Flat in France, now switched to hurdling. Therefore, the predicted order of finish for the top three horses would be: 1. 9/1 (5) EMILY ROEBLING 2. 3.5/1 (1) CONNORS CROSS 3. 0.36/1 (2) ABSURDE
The Willie Mullins-trained ABSURDE is an intriguing one in this and the Fastnet Rock gelding can make a winning start for the champion trainer. The five-year-old was twice placed at Listed level on the Flat in France and cost 260,000 euros at the sales last July. He is sure to be well schooled and ready to go for his jumping debut. Connors Cross sets the standard off a mark of 123 and connections claim off him to lessen his top-weight burden. He won, despite running freely, at Punchestown back in February and the form of that race hasn't worked out too badly since. There looks scope for further improvement from the Carlotamix gelding. The mare Emily Roebling was also a winner last time out but is probably a touch more exposed.
ABSURDE made up into a smart sort on the Flat in France last year and, having changed hands for €260,000 subsequently, he could be the way to go now his attentions switch to hurdling for his leading NH yard. Connors Cross rates next best, ahead of Emily Roebling.
ABSURDE was a promising performer middle-distance performer on the level and he could be hard to beat if he takes to hurdles

5/1(+17%) | (18) Prince Zaltar 5/1, Latest win in hurdle at Navan in March. 11/4, good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.6f, good to soft) 28 days ago, unsuited by way race developed.

3rd (14) (5.5/1 +0%) The Big Chap |
5.5/1(+0%) | (14) The Big Chap 5.5/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (15f, good to soft, 5/1) 25 days ago, battling well. Significantly back up in trip. Another to consider. Off 8 months before Kilbeggan win latest; 2m4f is fine and while up 7lb, he's unexposed. |

16/1(+0%) | (3) Popong 16/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 50/1, seventeenth of 27 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24f, soft) 138 days ago. Beaten a long way out when last seen; off 5 months and probably needs further these days. |

22/1(-10%) | (16) Story Rory 22/1, Tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24.5f, soft, 40/1) 37 days ago, possibly amiss when. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Beaten a long way out on last 2 starts; may have needed latest run; tough looking mark. |

40/1(+20%) | (4) Quirt Evans 40/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Creditable eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 4 days ago. Back up in trip. Has work to do. Lost his way in recent times but hinted at return to form Thursday; may come on for that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (10) (14/1 +58%) Tempo Chapter Two |
14/1(+58%) | (10) Tempo Chapter Two 14/1, 16/1, last of 11 in handicap hurdle at Naas (19f, soft) 64 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Adrian Murray. One to monitor in the betting. Won 3 for Willie Mullins; promise on penultimate start; another new yard; check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (40/1 +0%) Feigh |
40/1(+0%) | (13) Feigh 40/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at this course (22.2f, good to soft, 16/1). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving Willie Mullins. Others more persuasive. Course winner; not seen since 4th on this card in 2022; best form on soft; may need this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (11) (40/1 -233%) The Priests Leap |
40/1(-233%) | (11) The Priests Leap 40/1, Switches from chase to hurdles. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving William Durkan. Trainer going well. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs keeping a close eye on in the betting. 1-17; needs to prove he stays this far; interesting recruit for new yard; cheekpieces on. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the summary, horses that have a good chance of finishing in the top 3 are 6/1 (18) PRINCE ZALTAR, 2.75/1 (2) MIGHTY TOM, and 5.5/1 (14) THE BIG CHAP.
MIGHTY TOM ran a big race in a competitive contest at Punchestown last month before landing a Listed race over 2m1f here on Sunday. The Dylan Thomas gelding carries a 7lb penalty for that victory but has clearly relished the switch to Cian Collins' yard and could strike again now stepped back up in trip. The Big Chap comes here in winning form, having scored at Kilbeggan last month. He battled well to see off Laser Focus then and that form looks solid enough. He could be a danger despite a 7lb rise. Viceregent has been knocking on the door for a while and is another for the shortlist. He could be place material.
FLYING SCOTSMAN arrives in form and might prove the answer to this very tricky handicap. Mighty Tom ran a good first race for his new stable when third in a big field at Punchestown last month and heads the many possible dangers along with The Big Chap and Viceregent, who is quite closely matched with the selection on Fairyhouse form before Christmas.
MIGHTY TOM looks like the one to beat after a placed effort in a hot race at the Punchestown Festival last month; he should go close

1st (1) (2.25/1 -50%) Saint Sam |
2.25/1(-50%) | (1) Saint Sam 2.25/1, Very smart chaser. Didn't need to be at best when winning 3-runner minor event chase at Tramore (21.6f, soft, 2/11) 29 days ago. Very much the one to beat. Outclassed two opponents at Tramore last time; this is more competitive but a big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (3.5/1 +56%) Effernock Fizz |
3.5/1(+56%) | (7) Effernock Fizz 3.5/1, Useful chaser. Three wins from 15 runs last season. Creditable second of 9 in handicap chase (13/2) at Cheltenham (20.6f, good) 25 days ago, no match for winner. Likely to give it a good shot from the front. Second in a mares' handicap at Cheltenham last time; has won here over hurdles; run well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (3.33/1 +26%) Telmesomethinggirl |
3.33/1(+26%) | (8) Telmesomethinggirl 3.33/1, Smart hurdler. 3/1, fell in Future Champions Novices' Chase at Ayr (20.5f, good) 23 days ago won by Datsalrightgino. Should be in the mix granted a clear round. Second in a Thurles Listed event; fell early at Ayr last time and has to find a bit today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (14/1 +44%) Minx Tiara |
14/1(+44%) | (6) Minx Tiara 14/1, Useful hurdler. Creditable second of 9 in handicap chase (5/1) at Cork (16.7f, soft) 35 days ago. This demands a clear career-best. Beaten 12l in a Cork handicap chase last time and has to improve on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/1 -17%) Busselton |
7/1(-17%) | (2) Busselton 7/1, Smart chaser. Pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (29f, soft, 50/1) 35 days ago, pulled up before eighteenth. Significantly back down in trip and needs to bounce back. Found testing conditions against him the last twice and this will be much more suitable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (25/1 -79%) Call Me Lyreen |
25/1(-79%) | (3) Call Me Lyreen 25/1, Useful hurdler. Six wins from 20 NH runs. Ninth of 14 in handicap chase at Punchestown (16f, good to soft, 16/1) 18 days ago. Back up in trip. Others make more appeal. Well beaten in competitive 2m handicaps last twice but returning to this trip can help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (5/1 +44%) Fils D'oudairies |
5/1(+44%) | (5) Fils D'oudairies 5/1, Smart hurdler. Creditable fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and back up in trip. Ran well over fences over C&D last summer; bit to find with some of these but not ignored. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st: 1.5/1 (1) SAINT SAM 2nd: 4.5/1 (8) TELMESOMETHINGGIRL 3rd: 8/1 (7) EFFERNOCK FIZZ
BUSSELTON might be able to bounce back to form after two disappointing efforts since returning from a break. The winner of the Kerry National at Listowel in September, he then ran a solid race to finish fifth in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury, a place behind subsequent Grand National hero Corach Rambler. Back on a sounder surface now and with the in-form JJ Slevin aboard, a bold bid can be expected from the six-year-old bay. Saint Sam is the highest rated runner in the line-up and is given second preference. He recorded a confidence boosting success at Tramore on his most recent outing and it'll come as little surprise if he manages to follow-up. Fils d'Oudairies beat Saint Sam when they clashed over flights at Leopardstown in March and the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding warrants respect. Telmesomethinggirl looks the pick of the three mares set to take part. An early faller at Ayr last month, she is well-capable of making her presence felt. Effernock Fizz has a course win to her name and can't be underestimated.
EFFERNOCK FIZZ is an appealing alternative to probable favourite Saint Sam. She put in a good round of jumping when runner-up in a Grade 2 Cheltenham handicap last month and could take some pegging back if allowed her own way out in front. Saint Sam duly landed the odds in a 3-runner affair at Tramore and he won't go down without a fight. Telmesomethinggirl is best of the rest.
Having been unsuited by testing conditions on his last two outings, BUSSELTON could get back on the winning trail today.

1st (10) (3/1 -100%) Stealthy Tom |
3/1(-100%) | (10) Stealthy Tom 3/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. 7/4, very good second of 12 in minor chase at Punchestown (34f, good to soft) 18 days ago, sticking to task. Significantly back down in trip. The one to beat. Won this race last year off 8lb lower; just denied in 4m2f La Touche Cup at Punchestown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (20/1 +39%) Broken Ice |
20/1(+39%) | (2) Broken Ice 20/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap chase (16/1) at Fairyhouse (21f, good to soft) 96 days ago. More is needed. Has been poor on his last four starts; difficult to fancy until showing more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (14/1 -17%) Lake Chad |
14/1(-17%) | (7) Lake Chad 14/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.1f, soft, 12/1) 29 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Found 2m too sharp last time but is of some interest up in trip today off 2lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (14/1 -17%) Clever Currency |
14/1(-17%) | (11) Clever Currency 14/1, Latest win in hurdle at Leopardstown in March. Twelfth of 13 in handicap chase (7/2) at Tipperary (17f, good to soft) 11 days ago. More required Below best over hurdles at Punchestown since and well beaten back over fences since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (4.5/1 +63%) Donnrua Dream |
4.5/1(+63%) | (15) Donnrua Dream 4.5/1, Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. Creditable seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19.4f, good to soft, 9/2) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Cosidered. Some promise on handicap debut at Kilbeggan; cheekpieces are tried now and one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (10/1 -54%) Politicise |
10/1(-54%) | (3) Politicise 10/1, Good second of 13 in handicap chase at Tipperary (17f, good to soft, 22/1) 11 days ago, just failing. Seventeen runs since last win in 2020. Just failed to get up at Tipperary (2m1f) last time despite not jumping that fluently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (14/1 +13%) R'evelyn Pleasure |
14/1(+13%) | (1) R'evelyn Pleasure 14/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.6f, soft, 14/1) 29 days ago. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Dropping down the handicap lately but hasn't been running too badly; can be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (9/1 +44%) Silvertown |
9/1(+44%) | (6) Silvertown 9/1, One win from 22 NH runs. Fair winner at 9f on flat. 22/1 and blinkered for 1st time, took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Thurles (20.5f, soft) 58 days ago. Not discounted. Ran his best race over fences at Thurles last time in first-time blinkers; same mark today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (10/1 +9%) Harvey's Quay |
10/1(+9%) | (4) Harvey's Quay 10/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 28/1, fourth of 13 in novice chase at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 88 days ago. Much respected on handicap chase debut. Bit of promise at Clonmel last time on his third novice run; 9lb lower than hurdles mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (22/1 -10%) An Fraoch Mor |
22/1(-10%) | (5) An Fraoch Mor 22/1, 9/1, fading fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21.7f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Needs to build on it. Returned from a long absence this spring and has been well beaten in two chases. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (12) (25/1 +0%) Carnet De Stage |
25/1(+0%) | (12) Carnet De Stage 25/1, C&D winner. Pulled up in handicap chase (33/1) at Limerick (22.6f, heavy) 137 days ago. Others appeal more. Pulled-up on last three starts but the return to this track and better ground can suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (14) (66/1 -164%) Avec Espoir |
66/1(-164%) | (14) Avec Espoir 66/1, Latest win in chase at Wexford in August. Ninth of 19 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Tipperary (24f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Switches from hurdles to chase and needs to hit the ground running. Won at Wexford last summer but will probably come on from this return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (50/1 -52%) Magnium |
50/1(-52%) | (9) Magnium 50/1, Pulled up in novice chase at Ballinrobe (17f, good to soft, 100/1), soon beaten. Off 11 months. First run for yard after leaving Eugene O'Sullivan. Makes handicap chase debut. Regressive over fences for his former yard and seems best watched on comeback for new yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (5/1 +38%) Norwigi |
5/1(+38%) | (8) Norwigi 5/1, 6/1, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.1f, soft) 29 days ago, needing stiffer test. Significantly back up in trip. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Is 0-13 over fences but run well many times, including at Tramore last time off this mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (66/1 -164%) Icee M B A |
66/1(-164%) | (13) Icee M B A 66/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 22/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.8f, good to soft) 9 days ago, weakening quickly. Switches from hurdles to chase with work to do. Pulled-up over hurdles on return last time; not easy to fancy back to fences. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Based on the summary, the top three horses that are likely to do well and finish in the top positions are: 1. 1.5/1 (10) STEALTHY TOM - The horse won the race last year and has a good record of two wins from five runs last season. It has also performed well in recent races. 2. 5.5/1 (18) ARDERA RU - It has been a fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles and was second in a handicap chase at Tramore 28 days ago. 3. 11/1 (4) HARVEY'S QUAY - The horse has shown promise in its previous runs and is respected on handicap chase debut.
STEALTHY TOM, who is a half-brother to Grade 1 victor Gilgamboa, is a dual course winner and claimed this very contest 12-months ago. Beaten by just a neck in the La Touche at Punchestown, he can gain some measure of compensation now. Enda Bolger trains the selection and he is also represented by Norwigi. Out of a Grade 3 winner in Nadiya De La Vega, she wasn't beaten far when fourth on her most recent outing at Tramore. JP McManus owns the aforementioned pair and he has a third contender in the shape of handicap debutant Harvey's Quay, with this one also warranting respect. Politicise is given second preference. He just failed at Tipperary recently and should appreciate this step-up in trip, with Carl Millar again taking a valuable 7lb off. Magnium starts off for John Ryan and it'll be interesting to see how he fares with Danny Mullins aboard. Gavin Cromwell saddles Broken Ice, Silvertown and Donnrua Dream, with the Keith Donoghue ridden latter fitted with cheekpieces for the first time.
STEALTHY TOM rates the clear pick of these weights on the back of his Punchestown second so rates a confident choice. Silvertown hinted at a revival when fifth at Thurles last time and can chase home Enda Bolger's well-treated 8-y-o, with Politicise appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
Preference is for last year's cosy winner STEALTHY TOM who is just as effective over this trip as he is over marathon banks races.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (1) (1.5/1 -105%) Annamix |
1.5/1(-105%) | (1) Annamix 1.5/1, Useful chaser. Survived mistakes to win a small-field hunter at Fairyhouse in April but didn't get away with some poor jumping in a better race at Punchestown since. Will be bang there if keeping the errors down but he's hardly one for maximum faith. Didn't jump well before being hampered at Punchestown last time; would win at his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5/1 +80%) Nice To Meet |
5/1(+80%) | (4) Nice To Meet 5/1, Fair form when second on hunter chase debut a year ago. Fit from points but has a bit to find with a couple of these on form. Second in a Tipperary novice hunter chase last year but will have to step-up to take this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (20/1 -25%) Fr Humphrey |
20/1(-25%) | (3) Fr Humphrey 20/1, Fair chaser earlier in career. This veteran arrives on the back of a couple of recent point wins but might be vulnerable to some of the younger legs in this line-up. Been revitalised to win two open points' recently; will have to step-up in this company. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (1.88/1 -7%) Somptueux |
1.88/1(-7%) | (2) Somptueux 1.88/1, Useful chaser at best. Fit from points, looked sure to play a hand in the finish when falling 2 out on his Cork hunter debut last month. Big player. Every chance in a Cork hunter chase when falling; his best form would see him go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5.5/1 +69%) Visioman |
5.5/1(+69%) | (5) Visioman 5.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser. Out of his depth in Champion hunter at Punchestown (24f, good to soft, 125/1) last month but had shaped quite well in calmer waters at Cork prior to that. Fourth in a Cork hunter chase but was beaten when also hampered at Punchestown last time. |
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 do well. However, 0.73/1 (1) ANNAMIX and 1.75/1 (2) SOMPTUEUX are described as useful chasers and big players, with the latter having fallen in a previous race while in contention. 18/1 (5) VISIOMAN has also shown promise in previous races but was hampered in his last outing. 18/1 (3) FR HUMPHREY is a revitalized veteran but may struggle against younger competition. Nice to Meet has fair form but may need to step up. Of the five horses mentioned, 0.73/1 (1) ANNAMIX and 1.75/1 (2) SOMPTUEUX seem to have the best chance of finishing in the top three, with 18/1 (5) VISIOMAN as a dark horse.
ANNAMIX has enjoyed a renaissance of late and should be able to account for his four rivals. He took the scalp of both Billaway and Ferns Lock when springing a surprise at the Fairyhouse Easter Festival. Making steady headway in the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown, he was badly hampered three out and subsequently pulled up after losing all chance. At the age of 15, Fr Humphrey is amazingly bidding for a hat-trick and warrants the utmost respect for trainer/owner/rider Niamh Hennessy. He shocked all in attendance when comfortably beating Rocky's Howya on his penultimate start at Dromahane, with that one unbeaten in his seven prior point-to-point starts this season, while also finishing a close-up fourth in the Foxhunters at the Cheltenham Festival. The veteran showed that success was no fluke by following-up at Stowlin and it'll be interesting to see how he fares, returning to the track for the first time in well over two years. Somptueux also has claims with Ross Berry taking 7lb off. Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, he was still in front when crashing out two fences from home at Cork on Easter Monday.
SOMPTUEUX would have played a hand in the finish but for falling 2 out on his Cork hunter debut last month and is preferred to the error-prone Annamix.
Annamix has been in and out this season so SOMPTUEUX gets the nod despite the fact that he fell at Cork last time.

1st (4) (2.75/1 -83%) Naruto |
2.75/1(-83%) | (4) Naruto 2.75/1, Once-raced maiden. Strong in the betting but failed to meet expectations when third of 10 in bumper (2/1) at Thurles (16.4f, heavy) on NH debut 63 days ago. Early days, though, and likely capable of better. Beaten 18l on debut in a soft ground Thurles bumper; should have improved so respected. |

2nd (3) (5.5/1 +61%) Minella Mate |
5.5/1(+61%) | (3) Minella Mate 5.5/1, Once-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 11 in bumper at Gowran (18f, heavy) on NH debut 65 days ago. More required to take a hand here. Beaten 34l on debut in a heavy-ground Gowran bumper; should give a better account. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (4/1 +38%) Penelope's Charm |
4/1(+38%) | (8) Penelope's Charm 4/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, third of 16 in bumper at Tipperary (20.2f, soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. Entitled to build on that. Third in a 2m4f Tipperary mares' bumper last month; should be sharper now; be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (16/1 +0%) Western Flyer |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Western Flyer 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, pulled up in minor event hurdle at Thurles (23.1f, soft) on hurdles bow 172 days ago, folding tamely. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Hood on 1st time. Well beaten in a bumper and hurdle for this yard; hood added but others appeal more. |

5th (1) (2.75/1 +17%) Cato's Revenge |
2.75/1(+17%) | (1) Cato's Revenge 2.75/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Good placed efforts first 2 starts and far from disgraced when sixth in deeper event at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft, 80/1) 18 days ago. Sets a good standard. Has run solid races in his three bumper starts; has to step up but should be involved. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (6.5/1 -44%) Lisnamult Lad |
6.5/1(-44%) | (2) Lisnamult Lad 6.5/1, Once-raced maiden. Posted fair second of 11 in bumper at Kelso (16.2f, good) on NH debut 28 days ago. Likely more to come and is one for the shortlist. Entitled to have improved from debut second but will need to in this stronger contest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (9/1 +86%) Super Surprise |
9/1(+86%) | (5) Super Surprise 9/1, Camacho gelding. Brother to useful 1m-9.5f winner Rangali Island. Dam fair hurdler around 2m. By a sire that can get smart jumpers and from a useful dual-purpose damline; of interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (200/1 -300%) Pixabay |
200/1(-300%) | (9) Pixabay 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in bumper (22/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving P. Kiely. Hooded for 1st time. Others preferred. Will have to improve plenty on debut form for new yard after a break; hood added. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st: 3.33/1 (1) CATO'S REVENGE 2nd: 4.5/1 (2) LISNAMULT LAD 3rd: 6.5/1 (8) PENELOPE'S CHARM
CATO'S REVENGE has three solid efforts to his name and taking a drop-in class, he is the one to beat on form. Off the track for nearly two years after finishing third on debut at Down Royal, the Notnowcato gelding again took minor honours on his return to action at Thurles in February. Tried in a hotly contested winners race at the Punchestown Festival on his most recent start, he finished a highly respectable sixth. In much calmer waters now, he can be expected to go close, with Phidelma Elvin taking 7lb off. The Willie Mullins-trained Naruto is sure to prove popular with punters. A well-beaten third on debut at Thurles, he can be expected to come on plenty for that effort and could be a different proposition on a sounder surface. The same can be said of Minella Mate who was a fair fifth on his sole start at Gowran in March. A winner of a point-to-point when trained by Adrian Murray, Lisnamult Lad should give a good account of himself, while Penelope's Charm and Orinoco Flow are others that warrant respect.
Preference is for LISNAMULT LAD, who shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up in Kelso bumper on his Rules debut last month and should have learnt plenty from that. Cato's Revenge and Naruto rate the principal dangers in what looks a competitive finale.
A chance is taken on PENELOPE'S CHARM improving enough from her debut Tipperary third. This shorter trip should be fine.

This is the 16:15 Kempton race from the video above backed at 28/1 earlier in the day.
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.
