The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Jack Kennedy was booked when Zariygann made an impressive debut over hurdles at Roscommon recently and perhaps CHALLY CHUTE can repeat the trick as the same training partnership again links up with the champion jockey. The selection has won four times on the Flat, including over 2m1f here last summer, and arguably put up a career-best effort last time when just denied in the valuable Guinness Handicap at the Galway Festival. Riding arrangements suggest Galway disappointment Where's My Jet is preferred of Willie Mullins pair, while Hashtag Pretender has plenty of jumping experience but is proving a frustrating sort to follow. Spy, The Mediator and Banana Three are others to note.
An interesting maiden and one which can go to CHALLY CHUTE if transferring a large portion of his smart Flat ability over to hurdles at the first attempt. Hashtag Pretender resumed his progress after 11 months off when second at Roscommon 18 days ago and should go well again, with Spy and Mr Escobar others to consider.
Classy Flat performer Chally Chute is a danger to all on hurdling debut but preference, on the grounds of experience, is for SPY

1st (6) (12/1 +0%) Swelltime |
12/1(+0%) | (6) Swelltime 12/1, 50/1, creditable fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Latest Cork run was a bit more encouraging but remains opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (12/1 -50%) Craic Eile |
12/1(-50%) | (11) Craic Eile 12/1, Eighth of 12 in handicap at Tramore (16.4f, good to soft, 22/1) 7 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Respectable on last hurdle run. C&D second in July but recent Tramore form disappointing; wants good ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (13/2 -8%) Burru |
13/2(-8%) | (5) Burru 13/2, Creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft, 4/1) 15 days ago. Hood back on. Maiden just about gets an easy 2m4f; suspect stayer if the ground worsens. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/4 +21%) General Clermont |
11/4(+21%) | (1) General Clermont 11/4, Unreliable type but doing nothing wrong at present and posted career best when winning 11-runner handicap chase at Wexford (19.6f, good to soft) 17 days ago, bit in hand. Potentially well treated back over hurdles. Last year's winner in fine form chasing of late; demands respect off 11lb lower mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (14/1 +30%) Vale Of Glory |
14/1(+30%) | (4) Vale Of Glory 14/1, C&D winner who probably needed the run after 10 months off when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Better for recent comeback run but won't want too much rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (8/1 -100%) The Vegas Raider |
8/1(-100%) | (7) The Vegas Raider 8/1, Opened his account over hurdles in determined fashion in 14-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back up in trip and another good account seems assured. Handled soft conditions to win at Ballinrobe; up in grade but could have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (16) (11/2 +45%) Kalnoo |
11/2(+45%) | (16) Kalnoo 11/2, 20/1, first run since leaving Alastair Ralph when good fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Encouraging yard debut at Wexford; drop in trip here could suit too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (16/1 +20%) Mastermind |
16/1(+20%) | (14) Mastermind 16/1, First run since leaving Charles O'Brien when creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good, 33/1) 70 days ago. Hood back on. Ran okay on recent stable debut after a layoff but still opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (20/1 +20%) Getabelle |
20/1(+20%) | (3) Getabelle 20/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fared little than on reappearance when ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (24f, soft, 20/1) 18 days ago. Progressive last autumn but hard to be consident in on recent form; wants rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (17/2 -6%) Aussie Warrior |
17/2(-6%) | (2) Aussie Warrior 17/2, 11/2, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, soft) 20 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Up in trip and has good claims on the pick of his form. Best form at 2m; soft ground at Galway probably didn't suit so predicted rain a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (15) (33/1 0%) She's On Line |
33/1(0%) | (15) She's On Line 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy). Off 9 months. Back up in trip. Not much encouragement to be taken from her four runs over hurdles; best watched. |

12th (13) (22/1 -38%) Annie Questions |
22/1(-38%) | (13) Annie Questions 22/1, 15/2, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Remains with just one standout effort in this sphere. Campaigned over 3m recently; no evidence drop in trip will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (20/1 +0%) Crowsatedappletart |
20/1(+0%) | (10) Crowsatedappletart 20/1, Latest win in chase at Limerick in May. Ninth of 13 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19.9f, good, 11/2) 29 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has work to do. Chasing of late; back hurdling here off 4lb higher mark with likely a bit to do. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (66/1 -164%) The Grey Falco |
66/1(-164%) | (9) The Grey Falco 66/1, Offered little on first run since leaving Patrick Neville when last of 15 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at this course (17f, good) 37 days ago. Best form is at 2m; tame yard debut run here last month, opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (8) (16/1 -60%) Duncarrig |
16/1(-60%) | (8) Duncarrig 16/1, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Cork (18.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can make presence felt. Tame enough effort in this headgear combination at Cork leaves questions to answer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
GENERAL CLERMONT won this race last year and has bright prospects of following up as the in-form gelding reverts to hurdles. The selection has won two of his last three starts over fences and impressed when successful over this trip at Wexford earlier this month. Burru rates a threat having made the frame on his latest two starts both over this distance, while The Vegas Raider is another to consider after winning at Ballinrobe last time and the booking of Alex Harvey adds to confidence. C&D winner Vale Of Glory should benefit from his recent reappearance at Kilbeggan, while Craic Eile and Swelltime are also on the shortlist.
THE VEGAS RAIDER opened his account in determined fashion at Ballinrobe 12 days ago and is the percentage call to follow up back up in trip. General Clermont is still not one to trust fully but is doing nothing wrong at present and is potentially well treated back over hurdles on his recent chase form, while Duncarrig and Aussie Warrior are others with claims.
Last year's winner GENERAL CLERMONT returns to hurdles having won two of his last three starts over fences and gets the vote

1st (10) (4/1 +60%) Ask Cillian |
4/1(+60%) | (10) Ask Cillian 4/1, 5/1, failed to build on the promise of last run when only sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Encouraging handicap debut second at Ballinrobe hasn't been replicated; needs more respite. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (16) (12/1 -41%) Cafe Del Mar |
12/1(-41%) | (16) Cafe Del Mar 12/1, 22/1, fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Recent Wexford comeback run was encouraging and entitled to come on for it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/1 -122%) Onefortheditch |
5/1(-122%) | (3) Onefortheditch 5/1, Improving sort who followed up her Kilbeggan success in 16-runner handicap at Cork (18.4f, good to soft, 7/2) 19 days ago, driven clear. Open to further progress and fancied to complete the hat-trick. Hat-trick seeking mare up in grade but could well be up to the task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (40/1 -60%) Jewelinthesky |
40/1(-60%) | (12) Jewelinthesky 40/1, Modest maiden who ran poorly when seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 16/1). Off 11 months. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Yet to trouble the judge in handicaps, absent since September; cheekpieces tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (11/1 +67%) Vintage Gold |
11/1(+67%) | (6) Vintage Gold 11/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at this course (11.5f, good, 11/1) 38 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Poor on last hurdle outing. Last year's winner has shown little since in light campaign but don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (9/1 -13%) Springboard |
9/1(-13%) | (14) Springboard 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good third of 15 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good, 12/1) 70 days ago. One to consider. Barely got home over 2m6f at Punchestown so potential improver back in trip here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (13/2 +7%) Boskill Borden |
13/2(+7%) | (2) Boskill Borden 13/2, Creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Ballinrobe (22f, good) 32 days ago. Can make presence felt. Recent efforts at Bellewstown and Ballinrobe give him each-way claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (9/2 +10%) A Nod To Getaway |
9/2(+10%) | (9) A Nod To Getaway 9/2, Winner in hurdle at Wexford in May. Blinkered for 1st time, good second of 9 in handicap chase (11/2) at this course (20.8f, good to soft) 2 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Wexford hurdles winner not as effective in chases until second here on Thursday.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (20/1 -25%) Gilded Moon |
20/1(-25%) | (11) Gilded Moon 20/1, Modest winner at 10f on Flat. 12/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Return to 2m didn't suit at Wexford so this trip could see improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (25/1 -25%) Coffeys Forge |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Coffeys Forge 25/1, 12/1, respectable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Has work to do from his current mark. Recent Wexford handicap debut run just okay; needs to jump better, top-weight opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (7) (11/1 +21%) Pearlofflorida |
11/1(+21%) | (7) Pearlofflorida 11/1, Showed some ability remains back over hurdles when third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (23f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Encouraging Ballinrobe run on softish ground so don't rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (22/1 -83%) Smallcraftwarning |
22/1(-83%) | (5) Smallcraftwarning 22/1, Winner at Thurles in February. Good second at Tipperary in May but wasn't in the same form at Punchestown the following month. Best form at 2m; acts on soft but stamina remains unproven. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (4) (18/1 -29%) Aspurofthemoment |
18/1(-29%) | (4) Aspurofthemoment 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 15 in maiden hurdle at Cork (18.4f, good to soft, 11/1) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut and remains with potential. Obvious scope for improvement on handicap debut but opening mark seems high enough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (100/1 -203%) Opera Point |
100/1(-203%) | (15) Opera Point 100/1, Well held in a trio of maiden hurdles. Makes handicap debut and big step forward required. Soundly beaten in three maiden hurdles; can only be watched on handicap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ONEFORTHEDITCH easily won a point-to-point this spring and has progressed since under Rules winning handicap hurdles at Kilbeggan and Cork. A combined rise of 12lb for those victories may not be enough to prevent a hat-trick and Conor Stone-Walsh is a positive booking. Boskill Borden won over two miles at Tramore last summer and indicated another success could be on the cards when upped in trip to be placed behind the progressive Kilashee at Ballinrobe last month. A Nod To Getaway filled the runner-up spot over fences here on Thursday, while Springboard and Smallcraftwarning are others to consider.
ONEFORTHEDITCH is well and truly going the right way now and gets the nod to complete the hat-trick with further progress on the cards. Boskill Borden and Springboard head the opposition.
The hat-trick seeking ONEFORTHEDITCH is upped in grade here but looks the type to make the transition

2nd (6) (4/1 +33%) Littlebiggie |
4/1(+33%) | (6) Littlebiggie 4/1, C&D winner. Winner in hurdle here in May. Good second of 16 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Galway (24.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Not taken lightly. Progressive since C&D maiden win in May; drop back in trip to suit and bold bid expected. |

3rd (1) (10/1 -67%) Toto Too |
10/1(-67%) | (1) Toto Too 10/1, Three wins from 5 runs last season. Reportedly bled when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.5f, soft, 15/2) 21 days ago, beaten some way out. Wins at 2m; two runs over this trip inconclusive. |

Hourigan when 11/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 5-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (25.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago, driven clear. Could have more to offer still. Ballinrobe winner up 7lb but could well have more to offer and predicted rain will suit. |

6th (3) (28/1 -133%) Real Steel |
28/1(-133%) | (3) Real Steel 28/1, 28/1, creditable third of 27 in handicap chase at Leopardstown (24.4f, heavy), staying on well. Off 8 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Better chaser, may just need this comeback run ahead of a likely trip to Listowel. |

7th (12) (16/1 -256%) Early Arrival |
16/1(-256%) | (12) Early Arrival 16/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Sligo (20.5f, soft, 4/1) 16 days ago. Can give a good account. Recent Sligo winner up 6lb and should go well, especially if ground softens. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (18/1 -80%) Gold Speed |
18/1(-80%) | (4) Gold Speed 18/1, One win from 3 runs last season. 17/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft), kept up to work. Off 11 months. Absent since Listowel win last September; runs well fresh so don't rule out. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CHAMPELLA put in an excellent performance to beat a big field in a mares' handicap hurdle over the minimum trip at the Galway Festival. She has winning form over an extended 2m4f, so should cope with this trip. Tom Harney is back on board and his 7lb claim offsets the bulk of the 9lb rise she got for winning in Ballybrit. Littlebiggie has been very consistent throughout 2024 and her victory came over an almost identical trip at this track in May. The returning Real Steel and Gold Speed both have the ability to get involved if fully wound up for action, while Sligo winner Early Arrival is another to note.
FUTURUM REGEM remains potentially on a good mark over hurdles and his recent efforts on the Flat suggests he's still in form. Dorans Law arrives on the back of a career-best win at Ballinrobe and is next best ahead of Littlebiggie.
LITTLEBIGGIE continues to improve and is taken to record a second C&D success of the season

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
JESSE EVANS has been a terrific money-spinner for Noel Meade and gets the opportunity to add to those gains on his first start over fences. This looks a good spot for his chasing debut as he has won twice before in Killarney. She's A Fine Wine is another set for her first crack at the bigger obstacles. She arrives on the back of a decent fourth place in a competitive handicap hurdle at Galway and won at Ballinrobe on her penultimate start. There is still time for San Salvador to put it all together over fences, while Palace Rock is one to monitor in the market.
Smart hurdler JESSE EVANS is the one to beat if taking to this sphere at the first attempt with most of his rivals arriving with something to prove. She's A Fine Wine was at least progressive over hurdles so is next best ahead of Ballybawn Belter.
It all depends on how some of these take to fences. JESSE EVANS has won over hurdles and on the Flat here and gets the vote

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SOLITARY MAN loves this track and has won his last three races here. On his last outing at this venue, he took the honours by a wide margin and is clearly a chaser to keep on the right side of. Duffle Coat ran a stormer when just beaten half a length into second in the Galway Plate which shows what he is capable of over fences. Staying trips are very much up his street. Easy Fella has form that ties in with Solitary Man, while Horantzau D'airy is up in trip and cannot be ruled out. Pink In The Park enjoyed her first outing over fences when taking a beginners' chase at Galway and may have more to offer.
EASY FELLA's latest effort was a touch underwhelming but the impression he made on debut sticks in the mind and there's likely a good deal more to come, so he gets the nod over Horantzau D'Airy and Solitary Man in what strikes as a well-above-average novice.
A line-up worthy of a Graded contest. The fine course record of SOLITARY MAN earns him the vote and he will enjoy going back up in trip

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
THE DASHER CONWAY hasn't been out of the first three since winning over this trip at Kilbeggan in May and handled testing conditions when second to a classy type at Galway. Gillian Callaghan's stable star is probably high enough in the ratings at this stage but is likely to give another good account. Railway Hurricane and Grange Walk were a long way behind the selection last time but the former will be suited by a return to this longer trip, while the latter is entitled to improve for what was his first outing in nearly seven months. Gaelic Arc had the selection well back in third when winning easily here in July but is up in trip on softer ground.
EL CHAMPO was third to The Dasher Conway when last seen three months ago but arrives on better terms with that rival and with cheekpieces refitted, so he's the most appealing. Gaelic Art scored with authority last time and deserves respect despite having a double-figure rise to contend with.
Wide open and worth taking a chance on the unexposed EL CHAMPO on returning from a break, especially if the ground softens

4/6(+39%) | (10) Pure Logic 4/6, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 8 in bumper at Galway (16f, soft, 6/1) 20 days ago. Is the form pick at the weights and this looks an ideal chance for her to open her account. Runner-up all starts; went close at Tipperary, fine second in winners' contest at Galway. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
PURE LOGIC has been runner-up in all three starts and looks the one to beat. Shark Hanlon's filly went close at Tipperary two runs back and had the winner of that race behind her in fifth when running with plenty of credit in a winners' contest at Galway. She handled soft ground on that occasion and can capitalise on what looks a good opportunity. Shock Galway winner Brave Crogha has to concede plenty of weight under his penalty, while Lord Ffrench has shown promise in both starts and there should be more to come.
PURE LOGIC has found one too good on each of her three starts to date but this might be her most straightforward task yet and she's marginally preferred to Leave In Secret, who should reverse form with Brave Corgha from last time. Lord Ffrench isn't totally discounted.
The best form line is PURE LOGIC's second in a winners' contest at Galway; 'Shark' Hanlon's filly is ground-versatile and can take this

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.
