1st (3) (8/1 +20%) Robinstown |
8/1(+20%) | (3) Robinstown 8/1, Fair hurdler. Blinkered for 1st time, third of 6 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft, 16/1) 25 days ago. Work to do on these terms. Potentially well enough treated here on his best form, has been labouring over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (7/1 -180%) Decimation |
7/1(-180%) | (2) Decimation 7/1, Winning hurdler. 22/1, fourth of 6 in novice chase at Leopardstown (21f, soft) on debut over fences when last seen in December 2022, not knocked about. First run for yard after leaving Henry De Bromhead. New stable in form and interesting if he retains all his ability. The betting may be revealing. Has questions to answer but in a different league to these rivals on his best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 +0%) Optional Mix |
4/1(+0%) | (1) Optional Mix 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Course winner. Sixth of 13 in handicap chase (8/1) at Thurles (21.6f, heavy) 9 days ago. Likely contender. Had a good spell of form last season, well below her best in three runs since her return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (33/1 +0%) Dark Voyager |
33/1(+0%) | (8) Dark Voyager 33/1, 16/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (16f) 62 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Blinkers on for 1st time in this code. Poor on last hurdle outing. Flat winner and maiden hurdle scorer for Willie Mullins, nothing to recommend lately. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (10/11 +74%) Ballyadam Destiny |
10/11(+74%) | (4) Ballyadam Destiny 10/11, Fairly useful hurdler. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft, 9/1) 17 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Enters calculations. Trainer aboard, stablemate Bal De Rio is marginally better suited by the race conditions. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (7/2 -56%) Bal De Rio |
7/2(-56%) | (6) Bal De Rio 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Course winner. Latest win in hurdle at Roscommon in July. Cheekpieces back on. Second in this last year and can go one better. Four of his six hurdles wins have come in this category, second in this event last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (40/1 -100%) Mr Bezi |
40/1(-100%) | (9) Mr Bezi 40/1, 150/1, last of 6 in bumper at Navan (16f, heavy) 10 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. A market move would be interesting. Modest form in points, has finished last in two bumpers, trainer has two stronger hopefuls. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (150/1 -200%) Ganderstown |
150/1(-200%) | (7) Ganderstown 150/1, Poor maiden. Eighth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (12f, 150/1) on Flat debut 41 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Noel Meade. Poor form in bumpers and maiden hurdles for Noel Meade, fair run on the Flat last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Denis Hogan fields three horses and he could return to the saddle aboard a winner on BALLYADAM DESTINY. This is quite a drop in class from his last start when sixth in Fairyhouse. His runner-up berth on penultimate start at Limerick over Christmas was a more than decent effort. Optional Mix has a rating of 121 which entitles her to respect in this company. Furthermore, she has winning form at this track, so she has brighter prospects than most. Hogan's Bal De Rio has actually finished runner-up in three claiming hurdles in a row. He should run his race under Joey Sheridan who is more known for his exploits on the Flat. Decimation kept good company over flights a couple of years ago, but comes with risks having switched stables since he was last seen in December 2022.
BAL DE RIO was second in this last year and can go one place better as he sets the standard on these terms. Stablemate Ballyadam Destiny and Optional Mix are a couple of the chief dangers on form but the betting could be revealing.
The safest option may be BALLYADAM DESTINY who could have a fitness edge over stablemate Bal De Rio and Decimation

1st (1) (5/1 +38%) Noble Talent |
5/1(+38%) | (1) Noble Talent 5/1, Tenth of 15 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Placed in two bumpers, hard to fancy if judged on his last two maiden hurdle runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/3 +39%) Kiln Time |
10/3(+39%) | (3) Kiln Time 10/3, 3/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.6f, heavy) 29 days ago, folding quickly 3 out. First run for yard after leaving Michael J. Bowe. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Failed to do himself justice at Tramore last time, holds a leading chance on overall form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/4 +65%) Larkfield Lusive |
9/4(+65%) | (7) Larkfield Lusive 9/4, 9/1, respectable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 33 days ago. Best form when second in C&D maiden in October, weakened from the last over C&D on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (5/1 +9%) What An Ocean |
5/1(+9%) | (5) What An Ocean 5/1, 9/1, fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21.6f, heavy) 29 days ago. Good chance on her best form. Has been showing a consistent level of form but needs to find a bit extra to win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (11/1 +21%) Rising Dust |
11/1(+21%) | (4) Rising Dust 11/1, 66/1, seventh of 10 in novice chase at Cork (20f, heavy) 24 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Remote third in a 2m3f maiden here in November, last two runs have been over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (10) (12/1 +0%) Golden Symphony |
12/1(+0%) | (10) Golden Symphony 12/1, 15/2, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft) 63 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Encouraging third over 2m6f at this venue last July, blinkered now a poor run at Tramore. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (16/1 -33%) Ennemi Public |
16/1(-33%) | (8) Ennemi Public 16/1, One win from 34 NH runs. 9/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap chase at Roscommon (24.8f, soft) 175 days ago. Last four runs have been over fences and is now 0-19 in that sphere, 1-12 over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (18/1 -13%) Wee Jerry |
18/1(-13%) | (11) Wee Jerry 18/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 17 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 47 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Tailed off over 2m at Naas last time since a pleasing run over this trip at Downpatrick. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (22/1 -120%) Ma Hoey |
22/1(-120%) | (9) Ma Hoey 22/1, 50/1, tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at this course (19f, heavy) 32 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Two wins and five places from nine starts in points; moderate form on the track. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ANOTHER OCANA appears to reserve his best performances for Limerick and made the breakthrough at this track last month. The 7lb rise in the weights is completely offset by the booking of claimer Jack Gilligan. Merry Moves has course form and a good claimer on board, so is more than capable of a big run as she has been placed in two of her last four races over flights. She is a long-standing maiden, but there isn't much depth to this race. A market move for Kiln Time on his first start for his new stable would be interesting based on his back form while Golden Symphony, who was placed on her last visit to this track, could respond to first-time blinkers.
Poor fare and ANOTHER OCANA might be capable of following up his win here last month. Merry Moves is an interesting alternative, while What An Ocean has a good chance on the pick of her form.
The vote goes to ANOTHER OCANA, who came good with a course win over 2m3f last time and has a 7lb claimer aboard to offset his rise

1st (9) (13/8 +60%) Mag Dillane |
13/8(+60%) | (9) Mag Dillane 13/8, Modest hurdler. 22/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at this course (20f, heavy) 35 days ago. Claims on pick of form in this sphere. Best effort when runner-up in a C&D maiden in October, chance if finding that form again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/1 -340%) Lep Around |
11/1(-340%) | (8) Lep Around 11/1, Jet Away mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler Our Joey and modest hurdler Innis Shannon. Easily off mark in points at third attempt (Dec 3) and worth noting if the market speaks in her favour on hurdles debut. Hood fitted. Wide-margin point winner last month, probably did not have much to beat but could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (50/1 -52%) Ixigreczed |
50/1(-52%) | (6) Ixigreczed 50/1, Bathyrhon mare. Runner-up on second of 3 starts in points. Last of 16 in bumper at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 40/1) on NH debut 44 days ago, dropping away before end of backstraight. Makes hurdles debut. Went close in a four-runner point, completely tailed off in a Thurles bumper last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/11 +39%) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit |
10/11(+39%) | (1) Ah Fuhgeddaboudit 10/11, Fair hurdler. Creditable third of 14 in novice hurdle (9/2) at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 19 days ago. Should be in the thick of things. Third behind a Willie Mullins-trained pair at Clonmel, this looks like a good opportunity. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (200/1 -100%) Inatosha |
200/1(-100%) | (5) Inatosha 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Nineteenth of 22 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy, 200/1) 24 days ago. Can only be watched. Unseated on her hurdling debut and has shown nothing in two starts since then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (25/1 -257%) Dreamz |
25/1(-257%) | (3) Dreamz 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 20/1, first run since leaving Brian Nolan when ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. Should progress. Placed in two bumpers for her previous trainer, probably needs better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (200/1 -300%) Princess Fiadh |
200/1(-300%) | (11) Princess Fiadh 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, last of 8 in bumper at Galway (16.7f, heavy) on NH debut 119 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. 50-1, lost ground at the start and detached throughout on her debut in a bumper at Galway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (10) (14/1 -40%) Noriska De La Mare |
14/1(-40%) | (10) Noriska De La Mare 14/1, 28/1, twelfth of 16 in bumper at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. No hurdling experience and her best bumper runs have been on good ground, place chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (200/1 -100%) Flickering Ellie |
200/1(-100%) | (4) Flickering Ellie 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, thirteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 33 days ago. Pulled up on debut at Cork, tailed off at this venue on second attempt, can be ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (2) (17/2 +66%) Chatterbox |
17/2(+66%) | (2) Chatterbox 17/2, Fair maiden on the Flat. Once-raced maiden over hurdles. Eighteenth of 28 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 125/1) on NH debut 35 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Placed twice from 11 outings on the Flat, betrayed her inexperience on her hurdling debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
AH FUHGEDDABOUDIT's third place in a mares' maiden hurdle at Clonmel this month gives her every chance of getting off the mark in this company. Mag Dillane has plenty of experience to call upon and is only rated 1lb inferior to Ah Fuhgeddaboudit, so is likely to be on the premises. Lep Around showed marked improvement to score by a wide margin in her third point-to-point. A hood goes on for her track debut but, if in the same mood, she could go well. Chatterbox, Justmadeit and Noriska De La Mare are others with claims.
AH FUHGEDDABOUDIT has often been highly tried over hurdles but this is one of her easiest assignments to date and, with her experience counting for a good deal, this could be her chance to get off the mark. Mag Dillane and recent point winner Lep Around head up the dangers.
This looks like a fine opportunity for AH FUHGEDDABOUDIT (nap) who was placed behind a Willie Mullins-trained pair last time

1st (8) (8/13 +25%) Mistergif |
8/13(+25%) | (8) Mistergif 8/13, Promising sort. 36/1, second of 12 in juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (17.4f, soft). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving S. Dehez. Of strong interest on debut for Willie Mullins. Picked up plenty of experience in France including over hurdles, could be hard to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (9/1 -13%) Ballycallan King |
9/1(-13%) | (2) Ballycallan King 9/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 8 hurdle runs. 11/1, bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Naas (19.1f, soft) 18 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks vulnerable. Worth considering on his C&D second in November, a nose in front of Ask The Bookie then. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (40/1 +20%) Wholelotofbusiness |
40/1(+20%) | (13) Wholelotofbusiness 40/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 18 in novice hurdle (100/1) at this C&D (heavy) on NH debut 35 days ago, not knocked about. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Attracted the attention of the stewards over C&D first time out, open to improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (11/1 -120%) Ask The Bookie |
11/1(-120%) | (1) Ask The Bookie 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 25/1, good third of 14 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 70 days ago. Each-way shout. Only a nose behind the much shorter-priced Ballycallan King here ten weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (14/1 -133%) Surf Club |
14/1(-133%) | (11) Surf Club 14/1, Twice-raced maiden under Rules. Fifth of 14 in novice hurdle (5/1) at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) on hurdles bow 19 days ago. One of 3 representing the Willie Mullins yard. Faded quite tamely into fifth behind short-priced stablemate at Clonmel early this month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (17) (125/1 -279%) On Your Way |
125/1(-279%) | (17) On Your Way 125/1, Getaway gelding. RESERVE. Third reserve, half-brother to a point winner, plenty of stamina in the family. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (250/1 -67%) Spavango |
250/1(-67%) | (10) Spavango 250/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) on NH debut 35 days ago. Made no impression in a C&D maiden in which stablemate Wholelotofbusiness caught the eye. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (100/1 -150%) John The Diva |
100/1(-150%) | (3) John The Diva 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 18 days ago. Tailed off here at Christmas, much better at Naas last time but needs to find a lot more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (66/1 -100%) King Of Cong |
66/1(-100%) | (4) King Of Cong 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 14 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) on NH debut 19 days ago, not knocked about. No threat when sixth on hurdling debut at Clonmel, 1/2l behind fifth-placed Surf Club. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (2/1 +64%) Milo Lises |
2/1(+64%) | (7) Milo Lises 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 6/5, fourth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) 29 days ago. Yard also saddles Mistergif and Surf Club. Excellent display on his only bumper start, has plenty to prove after Tramore fourth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (14) (125/1 -150%) Eastmore |
125/1(-150%) | (14) Eastmore 125/1, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 18 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, soft, 100/1) 15 days ago. Behind throughout on hurdles debut at Leopardstown, down the field at Punchestown;. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (200/1 -203%) Loughrask Rainbow |
200/1(-203%) | (5) Loughrask Rainbow 200/1, Sans Frontieres gelding. Dam, failed to complete in points, out of hurdle/chase winner up to 2½m Shampooed. Pulled up on latest start between the flags. Twice placed in points, dam struggled in points but has a decent pedigree, best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (200/1 +20%) Tellmeyourtroubles |
200/1(+20%) | (12) Tellmeyourtroubles 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 18 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 35 days ago, finishing tired. No show on debut in a Cork maiden hurdle, mid-field over C&D five weeks ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (250/1 -400%) Mayday Games |
250/1(-400%) | (6) Mayday Games 250/1, Kingston Hill gelding. Dam fair 19f hurdle winner. Probably best watched on debut. First foal, dam bumper/2m2f hurdle winner out of a German Flat winner. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MISTERGIF hasn't run since March but has good French form, both on the Flat and over hurdles. An 11-race maiden, he nonetheless has run well on the Flat at Longchamp and twice at top jumps venue Auteuil - finishing second on his latest start in a useful race. He handles testing conditions and today's 5lb claimer takes over from a 9lb claimer last time. Milo Lises ran really well on Punchestown Festival debut last April and while he flopped at Tramore on New Year's Day, is surely capable of far better, although needs to prove himself. Ballycallan King and Ask The Bookie were separated by a nose over C&D during Christmas and while that winner has subsequently boosted the form, Ballycallan King was twice well beaten in useful handicaps. Both horses are nonetheless capable and have place claims. Poets Cottage is a 14-race maiden who disappointed at Christmas, while Surf Club was well held at Clonmel in a race where another slow learner King Of Cong caught the eye.
If the market vibes surrounding french import MISTERGIF are upbeat the hint should be taken. He was runner-up on the second of his two starts over hurdles on the other side of the Channel and is probably capable of better. Ask The Bookie looks the main threat on the back of his solid C&D effort but Poet's Cottage also has claims. In addition to the selection, Willie Mullins also fields Milo Lises and Surf Club, with the former also worth a second look.
The fact that MISTERGIF has merited Cheltenham entries must have some significance in the context of a maiden of this standard.

5/1(-25%) | (5) Carlas Big Jim 5/1, Creditable second of 10 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Clonmel (20f, heavy) 19 days ago. One to consider. Runner-up last twice; is creeping up the handicap but can run well with a repeat. |

5th (14) (10/1 -54%) Likable Chancer |
10/1(-54%) | (14) Likable Chancer 10/1, One win from 40 NH runs. 9/2, respectable third of 12 in handicap chase at Thurles (20.5f, soft) 103 days ago. Back down in trip. Claims if in similar form back hurdling. Chase winner is 0-22 over hurdles; has a squeak if bringing his A-game back to this sphere. |

6th (6) (100/1 -300%) Fourleaf Shamrock |

9th (9) (9/2 +55%) Pana To Milan |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (10) (80/1 -220%) You Make Me Smile |
80/1(-220%) | (10) You Make Me Smile 80/1, Eleventh of 25 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 18 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs to jump better on handicap debut but worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (16/1 +0%) Man River |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Man River 16/1, 16/1, eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) 29 days ago. Tailed-off at Tramore last time and has to return to his better earlier form. |

14/1(-40%) | (3) Beeverstown Place 14/1, Good fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle (17/2) at Clonmel (16.5f, heavy) 19 days ago, going in snatches. Thereabouts. Good runs at Clonmel over 2m either side of a lesser run over 2m5f here; can be involved. |

A chance is taken that FLEMENS INTREST can win on handicap debut, under a 4lb claimer. A brother to Scottish National winner Beshabar, and an April point-to-point winner, he might prefer a longer distance but his sixth-placing in a smart Cork maiden in November reads very well, with the seventh-placed horse now rated 121, while the eighth was placed in a recent handicap. Carlas Big Jim's chances are more evident, having run well twice recently, although he drops in distance. Joeswayornoway has won just once from 24 hurdle attempts but ran well at Naas, while Tingarran Express' rating has gradually fallen to a winnable level and she ran well twice recently. Likable Chancer is a 22-race maiden over hurdles and while he races from a lower mark to his chase rating, drops in distance. Pana To Milan has been running well.
A chance is taken on PANA TO MILAN who was better than the result in a stronger race than this at Naas last time. Carlas Big Jim and Tingarran Express are others to consider, while handicap newcomer Flemens Intrest appeals as potential improver.
Having found some consistency lately, CARLAS BIG JIM might be able to get off the mark despite creeping up the handicap.

1st (3) (5/2 +38%) Mount Frisco |
5/2(+38%) | (3) Mount Frisco 5/2, Fair chaser who finished a creditable third of 13 in handicap chase (9/1) at Thurles (21.6f, heavy) 9 days ago, no extra late on having gone with plenty of zest. Not out of things returned to hurdling. In fine form over fences; 10lb lower back to this discipline, so has to be considered. |

2nd (7) (15/2 -88%) In The Trenches |
15/2(-88%) | (7) In The Trenches 15/2, Fairly useful maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. 150/1, tenth of 18 in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, soft) 15 days ago. Should have more to offer now handicapping and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour. Respected and interesting to see any market strength for handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (13/2 +59%) Jay Pee M |
13/2(+59%) | (6) Jay Pee M 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 100/1, respectable seventh of 22 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 24 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should fare better on handicap debut and worth a market look. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (3/1 -33%) Mitiva |
3/1(-33%) | (2) Mitiva 3/1, 10/3 and hooded for 1st time, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.3f, soft) 16 days ago. Return to this shorter trip may help and she's one to consider. Running well but keen over further; dropping back in trip looks helpful; taken seriously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (13/2 -8%) New Barn Lane |
13/2(-8%) | (4) New Barn Lane 13/2, 11/1, fourteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 5 days ago, dropping away after 3 out. Needs to bounce back. Two fine C&D runs but questions after finishing tailed-off at Gowran five days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (9/2 +25%) Caoimhes Pet |
9/2(+25%) | (5) Caoimhes Pet 9/2, Winner in hurdle at Killarney in October. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, heavy, 6/1) 7 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Some decent runs in defeat lately and has a chance if repeating the best of those efforts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (22/1 -120%) Flidais |
22/1(-120%) | (1) Flidais 22/1, 10/1, fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Plumpton (20.5f, soft) 71 days ago. Back down in trip returned to handicaps but consistency not her strong suit. Well beaten in a Plumpton handicap when last seen and others make more appeal. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MOUNT FRISCO showed improvement when tried over fences recently and looks a progressive five-year-old. His hurdles form was just ordinary, but he won well at this distance over fences on New Year's Day and ran well in a subsequent handicap chase. He reverts to timber rated 10lb lower than fences and is ridden by a 5lb claimer. Keen-going debut bumper winner Mitiva has been frustrating over hurdles and while her jumping has caught her out on occasions, she will be suited by again going right-handed as she shows a small tendency to jump right. Today's rider claims 5lb but she meets a potentially nicely-treated selection. Caoimhes Pet has been well held on recent runs and races in a first-time tongue-tie, while stablemate New Barn Lane disappointed on a recent run but had previously run well in two course handicaps. Flidais's best form is on a sound surface.
Successful on her only start in bumpers, MITIVA has highlighted she's capable of defying this sort of mark over hurdles in recent months, again running well when fourth at Punchestown 16 days ago. She earns the vote dropped back in trip, with Mount Frisco, following a successful stint over fences, and Caoimhes Pet heading up the dangers. In The Trenches needs monitoring in the betting for clues on his handicap bow.
Having raced keenly over further lately, while still running creditably, MITIVA will be better suited by dropping back to the minimum

1st (2) (9/1 -170%) The Dancing Tree |
9/1(-170%) | (2) The Dancing Tree 9/1, €24,000 3-y-o, Pillar Coral gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner Monteip. Dam (h107), 2m hurdle winner (stayed 2½m), half-sister to fairly useful chaser (2¼m-23f winner) Sacree Tiepy. Third sole start in points (Apr 2023). Was a close 3rd in a strong point at Curraghmore last April; should take high rank. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (66/1 -164%) Half A Chance |
66/1(-164%) | (5) Half A Chance 66/1, €8,000 3-y-o, Beat Hollow gelding. Brother to fairly useful 23f hurdle winner Get Rich Die Plyin, and closely related to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser The Dutchman. By a quality sire but cost only 8,000euros as a 3yo; could run well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (8/11 +71%) Olympy De Cerisy |
8/11(+71%) | (6) Olympy De Cerisy 8/11, €10,000 3-y-o, Brametot gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners on Flat, including 7.5f-10.5f winner in France Brave Shiina. Easy winner sole start in points (Oct 2023). An impressive point winner at Loughrea last October in testing ground; taken seriously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/2 +44%) Eastbank Warrior |
5/2(+44%) | (3) Eastbank Warrior 5/2, €19,000 3-y-o, Westerner gelding. Dam, winning pointer, closely related to Grand National winner One For Arthur. Fell sole start in points (May 7). Was favourite for sole point start last May but fell when in the lead 4 out; not ignored. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (6/1 -400%) Machismo |
6/1(-400%) | (1) Machismo 6/1, €28,000 3-y-o, Ocovango gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Keeper Hill and useful hurdler Dargiannini. Won sole start in points (Dec 3). Should take all the beating. Decisive winner of a Borris House point on debut; has to be given the utmost respect. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Soft-ground point-to-point winner MACHISMO swerved Fairyhouse's soft terrain last Saturday and could be useful. A half-brother to the smart Keeper Hill, he won for today's trainer at Borris House on debut last month, has changed ownership since, and represents a yard in flying form. The Dancing Tree contested a good point-to-point on debut for Peter Flood last April, with the runner-up being smart. It is encouraging he reappears in a bumper but concedes race-fitness to the selection. Eastbank Warrior was in contention when falling on May's pointing debut and with his trainer operating at an impressive strike-rate, it was notable he was declared to run at Leopardstown last Christmas, prior to be being withdrawn with a stone bruise. Out of a half-sister to One For Arthur, he could be capable. Olympy De Cerisy won an attritional Loughrea point on debut last October, beating the only other finisher by 16 lengths, prior to failing to sell for 95,000 pounds at auction. By a French Guineas and Derby winner, he has a mostly Flat pedigree but handles testing ground. Half A Chance, an 8,000-euro three-year-old, is a half-brother to three black-type performers.
Point winners MACHISMO and Olympy de Cerisy are likely to dominate this contest, with the former marginally preferred having been picked up by top connections. The Dancing Tree hasn't achieved as much as that pair between the flags but he's bred for bumpers, so he's also respected.
Having finished just 1l behind a very smart subsequent bumper winner in a point, THE DANCING TREE can score on rules debut.

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.
