1st (4) (9/2 -50%) Fair Damsel |
9/2(-50%) | (4) Fair Damsel 9/2, Modest maiden on the Flat. Promising individual. Ninth of 14 in handicap at Navan (13f, good, 15/2). Switches from Flat to hurdles and enters calculations. Limited on Flat, promising second over hurdles at Tipperary in May with Spanish Maid third. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (14/1 +58%) Between Friends |
14/1(+58%) | (10) Between Friends 14/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, twelfth of 20 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.7f, good to soft) on NH debut 27 days ago. In good hands but needs to jump better than on introduction at Galway last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (6/1 +0%) Love Like This |
6/1(+0%) | (6) Love Like This 6/1, Modest hurdler. 11/1, fifth of 6 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.5f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Has good chance on pick of form. Twice second at Sligo in August, more recent form does not inspire confidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (100/1 +0%) Chapter Thirty |
100/1(+0%) | (12) Chapter Thirty 100/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft, 100/1) on hurdles bow 10 days ago. Finished last in a bumper, always in rear in a maiden hurdle at Listowel, can be ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (66/1 +34%) Inch Alainn |
66/1(+34%) | (5) Inch Alainn 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in novice hurdle (100/1) at Ballinrobe (22.4f, soft) 41 days ago. Back down in trip. Showed little in point-to-points and next to nothing over hurdles so far, decent pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (100/1 +0%) Breath Of Wind |
100/1(+0%) | (11) Breath Of Wind 100/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 80/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving T. Hogan when twelfth of 16 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) on hurdles bow 32 days ago. Pulled up in a maiden point, tailed off in a bumper, suffered same fate on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (80/1 +60%) Snugsborough Jc |
80/1(+60%) | (8) Snugsborough Jc 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 300/1, refused 2 out in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.5f, good to soft). Off over 2 years. Ran twice in May 2022, unlikely to feature after such a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (1) (2/5 +50%) Speculatrix |
2/5(+50%) | (1) Speculatrix 2/5, Debut bumper winner at Punchestown and 11th in listed bumper there in May. Interesting hurdling debutante for top yard. Bumper winner, presumably has had issues but the bar is set low for her hurdling debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SPECULATRIX concedes a penalty on her hurdling debut, but showed quite useful bumper form last season and contests this winnable maiden. By the same sire as Allaho and a 115,000-euro three-year-old, she won on debut in February and again showed capable ability in finishing sixth in a Grade 2 Aintree bumper. While ultimately well held at the Punchestown Festival, she is proven on soft ground and encouragingly reappears at an early part of the winter season. Modest Flat performer Fair Damsel and Spanish Maid are closely matched on Tipperary form in May but shouldn't trouble the selection, while stablemates Ad Caelum and Love Like This have place claims.
SPECULATRIX has some fairly useful winning bumper form to her name so is taken to go in at the first time of asking over hurdles for her top yard. Fair Damsel and Love Like This appeal as the pick of those with experience and can chase home Gordon Elliott's newcomer in that order.
On the form of her Grade 2 effort at Aintree in April, the Gigginstown-owned SPECULATRIX is in a different league to these rivals.

1st (3) (11/2 +21%) Say It So |
11/2(+21%) | (3) Say It So 11/2, Temperamental sort. 1 win from 3 runs this season. 16/5, creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time over jumps. Stable in superb form lately, a shade disappointing at Listowel but well worth considering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (9/1 +73%) Duke Silver |
9/1(+73%) | (9) Duke Silver 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Weak maiden form, never involved after an early mistake on his handicap debut at Wexford. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (8/1 -78%) Due Course |
8/1(-78%) | (4) Due Course 8/1, 5/1, seventh of 11 in novice chase at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) on debut over fences 16 days ago, doing too much too soon. Switches from chase to hurdles. Strong claims. Won a Bellewstown handicap hurdle off 8lb lower in August, below best in a chase last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (11/2 +15%) Bayou Belle |
11/2(+15%) | (6) Bayou Belle 11/2, 10/3, creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Not taken lightly. 0-13 over hurdles but appeals as a place prospect following a sequence of promising runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (50/1 0%) She's On Line |
50/1(0%) | (12) She's On Line 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to soft, 40/1) 43 days ago. Big price when down the field over 2m4f at this venue in August, not an obvious contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (100/1 -400%) Avandra |
100/1(-400%) | (11) Avandra 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good to firm, 200/1) 92 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Huge price on all three maiden hurdle outings; hard to make a compelling case for her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (6/1 +8%) Gekkota |
6/1(+8%) | (5) Gekkota 6/1, 16/1, good third of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Merits consideration. Gave encouraging display when third of 20 at Galway, could feature if replicating that run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (66/1 -32%) Trenchtown Rock |
66/1(-32%) | (14) Trenchtown Rock 66/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2019. Eleventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (17.2f, good, 40/1) 39 days ago. Fair fifth on penultimate run but veteran's long losing sequence looks likely to continue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (16/1 -60%) Kings Halo |
16/1(-60%) | (7) Kings Halo 16/1, 7/2, last of 10 in handicap chase at Naas (20f, heavy), lame when. Off 7 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Likely to need the run. Well handicapped relative to last season's progressive chase form, trip may be inadequate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (33/1 +34%) Gendarme |
33/1(+34%) | (13) Gendarme 33/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Tramore (21f, good to soft) 51 days ago. No further success since back-to-back victories for Cathal Byrnes in July 2021, no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (5/1 -82%) Eastmore |
5/1(-82%) | (2) Eastmore 5/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, second of 8 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 37 days ago, finishing well. Should have more to offer and looks the one to beat. Just denied at Down Royal in a first-time tongue-tie, open to further improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (18/1 -50%) Highland King |
18/1(-50%) | (10) Highland King 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 11f on flat. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, good fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Bellewstown (17.2f, good) 39 days ago. Beaten 17l in fifth at Bellewstown last time, others have stronger credentials. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (8/1 -23%) Nicholas Street |
8/1(-23%) | (8) Nicholas Street 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 93 days ago, needing lesser test. Open to improvement and worth monitoring in the betting. May need further but possibly capable of improving from his handicap debut at Cork in June. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Most of the form horses won't be suited by likely testing conditions and while GEKKOTA would prefer good ground, he has form on soft and ran well last month. He returned from almost a year off this summer and a reproduction of his Galway effort would give him sound claims. Four-year-old Nicholas Street has been absent since running well on handicap debut in July but has, at least, run on testing ground. Capable chaser Kings Halo is undoubtedly well handicapped in this sphere and while he relishes testing conditions, needs a longer distance and made his seasonal reappearance in this race last year - finishing fifth. Eastmore, Say It So, Due Course and Bayou Belle have been running well, but on summer ground.
EASTMORE tooked a marked step forward when runner-up in a Down Royal handicap last time and, with few miles on the clock, he can find enough improvement to open his account here. Due Course and Bayou Belle are the chief dangers.
Third behind a longer-priced stablemate at Listowel, SAY IT SO can keep up the good work for the in-form Eric McNamara yard

Rocky's Diamond |
(3) (9/2 -13%)9/2(-13%) | (3) Rocky's Diamond 9/2, Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Winner in hurdle at Limerick in April. Good fifth of 8 in minor event hurdle (16/1) at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 130 days ago. Back down in trip. Should progress. Considered. Engaged 3.05 Gowran Saturday. Won on bad ground at Limerick, off since okay run in May, declared on Friday at Gowran. |

1st (1) (2/1 +33%) Al Gasparo |
2/1(+33%) | (1) Al Gasparo 2/1, Fairly useful hurdler. C&D winner in May. 6/4, respectable third of 8 in novice hurdle at Worcester (20f, good) 39 days ago. Not ruled out. Top rated, C&D winner in May, trip too far on latest, handles testing ground, chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/4 +0%) Lieber Nicc |
11/4(+0%) | (4) Lieber Nicc 11/4, Lightly-raced sort who posted a career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 73 days ago, responding well. In the mix. Maiden hurdle winner on latest at Wexford, different ground likely, chance if handling it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (9/4 -13%) Chutzpal |
9/4(-13%) | (6) Chutzpal 9/4, Arrives on a four-timer after completing his hat-trick in 13-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft) 37 days ago. Expected to be bang there. In form, on a hat-trick after wins at Bellewstown and Wexford, testing ground a big worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (11/1 +45%) Drumgill |
11/1(+45%) | (2) Drumgill 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) 9 days ago. Can give a good account. 3-14 over hurdles, out of depth on latest, handles an ease, chance at his best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (15/2 +25%) Master Otis |
15/2(+25%) | (5) Master Otis 15/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Cork in May. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, soft, 12/1) 65 days ago so needs to bounce back. Novice winner at Cork in May, has run well on soft, too bad to be true latest, interesting. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
AL GASPARO is top-weight but is a previous C&D winner and, crucially given likely testing conditions, has form on heavy ground. He routed his rivals in winning here in May and while well held subsequently at Galway, ran well in a winners' race at Worcester last month and won't be too inconvenienced by the ground. Lieber Nicc's best form has been achieved on a sound surface but he was placed on soft last January, while Master Otis disappointed at Galway but had previously shown useful handicap form at Fairyhouse and has also been placed on soft ground. Chutzpal's recent form is on a sound surface.
Henry de Bromhead's CHUTZPAL is on a roll and fancied to secure his four-timer after posting a career best when landing the hat-trick at Wexford. Rocky's Diamond appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Lieber Nicc and Drumgill.
A punt is taken on MASTER OTIS who won his novice well at Cork on good and his Leopardstown neck second on soft gives him a chance.

1st (8) (20/1 +0%) Doitforjane Sid |
20/1(+0%) | (8) Doitforjane Sid 20/1, Has offered little in a trio of maiden hurdles so far, tenth of 14 at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft, 150/1) 32 days ago. Needs to leave previous efforts behind as he goes up in trip on handicap debut. Modest placed form in point-to-points, well held in maiden hurdles, hard to make a case.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/2 +0%) The Striker Dylan |
5/2(+0%) | (6) The Striker Dylan 5/2, Again ran well when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (2/1) at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft) 37 days ago, headed before last after big move into contention. Major player in his current form. Beaten favourite last three starts, has a bit to find with Technology on Wexford running. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (17/2 +29%) Vintage Gold |
17/2(+29%) | (7) Vintage Gold 17/2, Sole success at this course (20.2f) last summer. Unseated rider after 5 out in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (20.3f, soft, 12/1) 6 days ago. Blinkers now reached for. Course winner, labouring when unseating five out at Roscommon on Monday, blinkered now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (12/1 -118%) Temptationinmilan |
12/1(-118%) | (2) Temptationinmilan 12/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Let down by jumping once more when falling at the second in handicap chase (20/1) at Listowel (19.4f, soft) 9 days ago. Lower in the weights as he returns to hurdling. Two wins over fences, 0-13 over hurdles, moderate chase form this year, worth market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (9/1 +10%) Danesfort Mayfly |
9/1(+10%) | (10) Danesfort Mayfly 9/1, Ran one of better recent races when fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.4f, good to soft, 25/1) 27 days ago. Task is now to build on her latest effort. Weak form since finishing second in big-field handicap hurdle at Naas early last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (5/2 +17%) Technology |
5/2(+17%) | (4) Technology 5/2, With tongue strap applied on first run since leaving Alan King, back to form after 5 months off when second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good to soft, 14/1) 37 days ago. Respected. Fnished a game second at Wexford on Irish debut and should go close with a reproduction. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (9/1 +10%) Iron Allen |
9/1(+10%) | (1) Iron Allen 9/1, Back over hurdles, still in mid-field when unseating rider in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Galway (16.7f, soft) 63 days ago. Significantly back up in trip on first run for yard after leaving Ciaran Murphy. Won a weak maiden hurdle at Naas last December, has plenty of weight, rider's claim a plus. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (50/1 0%) Oh'herewego |
50/1(0%) | (12) Oh'herewego 50/1, Twenty six runs since last win in 2019. Has struggled in 2 starts back this season, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (24.1f, soft, 80/1) 6 days ago. Two runs last month suggest the years have caught up with this four-time winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (7/1 -27%) Padraigs Boy |
7/1(-27%) | (9) Padraigs Boy 7/1, Shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 23 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Naas (23.8f, soft) when last seen in April, seeming stretched by the trip under the conditions. Enters calculations on return. Definite promise last season, potentially interesting if fit and ready after a break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (14/1 +30%) Ixigreczed |
14/1(+30%) | (5) Ixigreczed 14/1, Off the mark in hurdle at Kilbeggan in July. However, has failed to repeat that effort both starts since, fourteenth of 16 in handicap at Listowel (18f, soft, 14/1) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Won 2m3f at Kilbeggan three starts ago, nothing like that standard on last two runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (50/1 -25%) Littletwinklestar |
50/1(-25%) | (11) Littletwinklestar 50/1, In first-time tongue strap, fared no better than previously this season when fifteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.4f, good, 40/1) 18 days ago. Others preferred. Off for a year until August and has struggled on her first three outings for this stable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A chance is taken that IRON ALLEN might return to form because he could be well suited by conditions. Winner of a soft-ground unplaced horses' maiden at Naas last December, the ex-winning point-to-pointer remains somewhat unexposed over staying distances and although he has top weight, he contests a winnable handicap for new connections, under an experienced 5lb claimer. In theory, Temptationinmilan is well handicapped in this sphere as he is rated 108 over fences, but is a 13-race hurdles maiden. He does have form on testing ground so should compete. Technology ran well on his Irish debut in August, but has been well beaten in three previous UK runs on testing ground.
THE STRIKER DYLAN has shown improved form this season, shaping better than the result when again making the frame at Wexford on his latest outing, so he is taken to get off the mark this time around. He can reverse the Wexford form with Technology, who finished ahead of the selection when runner-up on his stable debut, while Padraigs Boy also merits consideration.
If sustaining the improvement shown at Wexford in August, TECHNOLOGY can score here by upholding form with The Striker Dylan

1st (7) (6/1 +33%) Jack Holiday |
6/1(+33%) | (7) Jack Holiday 6/1, Latest win in chase at Wexford in August. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap chase (4/1) at Tramore (16f, good) 18 days ago. Won at Wexford in August, has C&D form, on a tough mark, testing ground a worry. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (4/1 +27%) Skippin Court |
4/1(+27%) | (1) Skippin Court 4/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase (16/1) at Listowel (17.7f, good) 14 days ago. Has to be taken seriously in this weaker event. Best effort for current yard in better race latest, chance off same mark, handles heavy. |

3rd (3) (8/1 +60%) Time Marches On |
8/1(+60%) | (3) Time Marches On 8/1, 9/1, 13 lengths sixth of 7 to Freddie Robdal in handicap chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft) 74 days ago. Blinkers back on. Won for this rider in May, handles testing ground, chance if jumps better than latest. |

4th (10) (11/1 +67%) Coole Arcade |
11/1(+67%) | (10) Coole Arcade 11/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, sixth of 16 in handicap chase at Listowel (19.4f, soft) 9 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Difficult ask. Beaten 20l on latest at Listowel, down in trip, 2lb wrong, blinkers on but hard to fancy. |

5th (5) (10/3 +58%) Whatsafellatodo |
10/3(+58%) | (5) Whatsafellatodo 10/3, Creditable fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.7f, good to soft, 7/1) 27 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Switches from hurdles to chase. Respected. Good effort at Ballinrobe three runs ago, shaped well over hurdles latest, can't discount. |

6th (4) (5/1 +0%) Freddie Robdal |
5/1(+0%) | (4) Freddie Robdal 5/1, 4/1, respectable 13½ lengths fifth of 9 to Jack Holiday in handicap chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft) 60 days ago, finishing with running left. Not taken lightly. Won at Wexford off 6lb lower in July, handles testing ground, not discounted for top yard. |

|F| (8) (16/1 -357%) Another Ocana |
16/1(-357%) | (8) Another Ocana 16/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase (11/2) at Limerick (17.4f, heavy) 170 days ago. Remains unexposed over fences so player if ready to go. Won on testing ground off 7lb lower on latest, off since, may need this, can't discount. |

|PU| (6) (11/2 -57%) Itsalonglongroad |
11/2(-57%) | (6) Itsalonglongroad 11/2, Won 10-runner handicap chase (10/1) at Ballinrobe (17.2f, good to soft) 23 days ago, always holding on from a subsequent winner. Should go well again. Dual-purpose, won last time out off 101, up 7lb, handles all sorts of ground, claims. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ANOTHER OCANA will have plenty of help from the sky this weekend as he makes his seasonal reappearance on suitably testing ground. A dual point-to-point winner, he seemed better than ever when reverting to a similar distance to this, scoring at Limerick last April, and while his lack of a recent outing is a small concern, he might still defy a 7lb rise. Ten-time winning 10-year-old Itsalonglongroad continues in good form and is ground-versatile, but his mark has climbed back to 108 following his recent Ballinrobe success and he hasn't competed at that rating for over two years. General Clermont has good recent form and has placed on yielding to soft, although he wouldn't like really testing conditions.
SKIPPIN COURT has yet to win over fences but he took a big step back in the right direction after a short break when fourth in a better race than this at Listowel 2 weeks ago so he could be the answer. Last-time-out winners Itsalonglongroad and Another Ocana head the dangers.
TIME MARCHES ON will handle testing ground and if he jumps better than he did last time out, he is capable of going close here.

2nd (11) (3/1 -9%) The Great Unknown |
3/1(-9%) | (11) The Great Unknown 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Makes chase debut for leading yard so sure to be well prepared for this. Chasing debutante, bred for this game, needs more on hurdles form but respected. |

7/1(+22%) | (6) Zolpharine 7/1, Fair chaser. 16/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Listowel (18f, soft) 11 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before next. Switches from hurdles to chase (unseated rider previous try). Chase debutant, rated 101 over hurdles, won a 2m maiden, this trip is a worry, watch. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
THE GREAT UNKNOWN can make a winning start to her chasing career. A close-up third on her sole point-to-point run, the Henry de Bromhead-trained mare showed up well in some decent maiden hurdles over the winter. Although failing to get competitive when sent off favourite on her recent handicap debut at Tramore, the five-year-old was entitled to need that first outing since April. Pictures Of Home, who has plenty of experience over fences, has to be of interest in first-time blinkers. The Ted Walsh-trained gelding is a strong stayer who will see out every yard of this trip. Roscommon second Fremantle Doctor is entitled to come on from that initial run over fences. The winner of that aforementioned race franked the form with two subsequent victories.
The return to fences will surely see FREMANTLE DOCTOR in a better light and on his Roscommon run, he'll take some stopping in this. The Great Unknown's hurdles form is ordinary but he's sure to know his job now chasing so he could be the chief threat.
Rain won't be an issue for MALINAS GLORY. He likes testing ground, he has gone well fresh before and he has experience over fences.

Given the excellent form of the Eric McNamara stable, MY FRIEND THE WIND has to hold strong claims. Twice a winner over hurdles, the nine-year-old looks nicely treated off a chase mark which is 13lb lower. Although yet to get his head in front over fences, the gelding has been placed on two occasions. Following a promising fifth in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last month, he should be spot-on for this assignment. The locally-trained Definiteadare can readily be forgiven a below-par run at Tramore as he was running from 14lb out of the handicap. Back in his own grade, with Michael O'Sullivan remaining loyal, Charles Coakley's gelding has to be respected. Da Big Fella, owned and trained by the race sponsor, is sure to have been laid out for this particular meeting.
DEFINITEADARE has dipped in the weights and could be worth chancing back at the scene of his last success under Michael O'Sullivan. Man of The House and A Nod To Getaway are a couple of others to consider.
DONNRUA DREAM gets the nod. He ran well here for his former yard, handles bad ground and can go close if fit after a break.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
