(2) Deadheat 33/1, Pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21.2f, heavy, 40/1) 120 days ago, losing place around 4 out. Four of his six wins were gained in France and his two wins in Ireland were in 2020.
4
1st (4) (3/1 +40%) General Clermont
3
3/1(+40%)
(4) General Clermont 3/1, Unreliable type. One win from 34 NH runs. Good second of 15 in novice chase at Tramore (21.8f, good, 9/1) 31 days ago. Player with a repeat. 0-6 as a chaser but was second to a Mullins horse last time in a beginners' event.
13
2nd (13) (5/1 +38%) Barbaha Queen
5
5/1(+38%)
(13) Barbaha Queen 5/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 6 in handicap chase at Clonmel (23f, soft, 6/1) 35 days ago. Drop back in trip will suit. Saves her best form for Clonmel where she ran respectably out of the weights last time.

8

(9) Druim Samhraidh 8/1, First run since leaving L J Morgan when ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, heavy, 6/1) 106 days ago. Makes chase debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Makes handicap chase debut. Has placed form over hurdles but he's an 11yo making his chase debut.
1
4th (1) (33/1 -32%) Brown Monday
33
33/1(-32%)
(1) Brown Monday 33/1, 14/1, pulled up in hunter chase at Punchestown (20.2f, soft) 20 days ago, no response. Makes handicap chase debut. His second in a 2m chase at Roscommon in August 2022 is a standout.
6
5th (6) (16/5 +29%) Mahlers Cove
3.2
16/5(+29%)
(6) Mahlers Cove 16/5, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 10/3, creditable third of 14 in handicap chase at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Can give a good account. Compiling a solid profile in handicap chases and won't mind what the weather does.
10
6th (10) (9/2 +55%) Lakomet Of Saints
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(10) Lakomet Of Saints 9/2, 20/1, 3 lengths fourth of 13 to Prince of Air in handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft) on debut over fences 32 days ago. Maiden on the Flat and over hurdles but he was only 3l away on chase debut at Tramore.
8
7th (8) (18/1 -13%) Added Bonus
18
18/1(-13%)
(8) Added Bonus 18/1, Latest win in chase at Thurles in February. 12/1, twelfth of 15 in handicap chase at Thurles (20.3f, heavy) 68 days ago. Poor latest effort and not sure why, but previous winning form brings him into it.
3
|PU| (3) (15/2 -7%) The Declaimer
7.5
15/2(-7%)
(3) The Declaimer 15/2, Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Shaped much better than the result after 22 months when seventh of 13 to Prince of Air in handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft) 32 days ago, keeping on when bad mistake last. Interesting (potentially well handicapped on hurdles form). Behind some of these at Tramore but only beaten 8l and a late mistake didn't help.
11
|PU| (11) (28/1 +15%) Grizabella
28
28/1(+15%)
(11) Grizabella 28/1, 150/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 7 months. Makes chase debut. Poor on last hurdle outing. Makes handicap chase debut. 1m2f winner two years ago; not bred for jumping and went 0-7 over hurdles.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
General Clermont built on his reappearance fourth in a handicap hurdle at Naas last month when finishing a respectable second over 2m6f in a beginners chase at Tramore. However, this drop in trip might be on the sharp side for the son of Balko and last-time-out winner PRINCE OF AIR may have his measure. A 68-day break seemed to work the oracle for Philip Rothwell's gelding when he won at Tramore and a 7lb rise looks workable. Mahlers Cove and Pana To Milan are also worth a second look.
THE DECLAIMER shaped well back from a lengthy absence when seventh to Prince of Air at Tramore and he's taken to come out on top this time off what remains a handy mark on hurdles form. Prince of Air's jumping should be an asset again, while the drop back in trip will suit Barbaha Queen.
The consistent MAHLERS COVE won't mind what the weather does and he can reverse Tramore placings with Prince Of Air.
(5) Mousey Brown 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Four wins from 10 runs last season. 25/1, eighteenth of 24 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Difficult ask. Better hurdler than chaser but it's still early days and the ability is there to progress.
4
1st (4) (10/11 +17%) Hurricane Georgie
0.909091
10/11(+17%)
(4) Hurricane Georgie 10/11, Useful chaser. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (20f, soft, 8/1) 172 days ago, never going well after. Back in calmer waters now and the clear form pick. She was second in this last year and is heavily favoured by these weights.
1
2nd (1) (7/2 +56%) Bella Bliss
3.5
7/2(+56%)
(1) Bella Bliss 7/2, Fairly useful chaser. Three wins from 13 runs last season. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap chase (12/1) at Perth (23.8f, soft) 27 days ago. In the mix. This trip looks on the tight side and these terms aren't favourable.
2
3rd (2) (6/1 -9%) Bonnie Kellie
6
6/1(-9%)
(2) Bonnie Kellie 6/1, Fairly useful chaser. Course winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at this course (19f, heavy, 7/2) 34 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not discounted. She's a capable mare on her day and goes well here; tries cheekpieces.
3
4th (3) (9/2 -29%) Good As Hell
4.5
9/2(-29%)
(3) Good As Hell 9/2, Fairly useful chaser. Three wins from 13 runs last season. On the retreat when unseated rider last in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20f, heavy, 15/2) 5 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and can take a step forward. Better chaser than hurdler and could go well if recapturing last year's good form.
6
5th (6) (16/1 +20%) Pebble Bleu
16
16/1(+20%)
(6) Pebble Bleu 16/1, Fair chaser. Pulled up in novice chase (11/1) at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft) 11 days ago, pulled up approaching 2 out. Has to prove that her much-improved second on chase debut at Thurles was no fluke.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Having pulled up on her last two outings, HURRICANE GEORGIE clearly comes with risks attached. However, the seven-year-old is 10lb clear off her nearest rival in the ratings and first time out this year could be the time to catch her. Good As Hell has been somewhat underwhelming on her last few appearances over hurdles and the Philip Fenton-trained mare needs a return to chasing to spark a revival, while Bonnie Kellie is another to bear in mind.
Not the easiest race to assess but Gordon Elliott's HURRICANE GEORGE is taken to bounce back in these calmer waters and edge out Good As Hell who can build on her recent Wexford effort. Bonnie Kellie and Bella Bliss can fight it out for minor honours.
A trappy race. HURRICANE GEORGIE has to steady the ship after two non-completions but she's best in at the weights.
(13) Cuta Des As 9/2, Fairly useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Last of 7 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, good to soft, 50/1) 22 days ago. Makes chase debut. Can't be ruled out. Makes chase debut after finishing well beaten in two Grade 1 hurdles.
4
(4) (28/1 +44%) Brave Adam
28
28/1(+44%)
(4) Brave Adam 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 40/1, below form eighth of 13 in novice chase at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Had three runs in maiden hurdles to earn a mark of just 97; well beaten in two chases.
9
(9) (90/1 +10%) Silent Flight
90
90/1(+10%)
(9) Silent Flight 90/1, Modest hurdler. One win from 3 runs last season. Bit below form eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20f, good to soft, 9/2) 2 days ago. Makes chase debut. Fair recent form over hurdles but tackles better company here on chase debut.
14
1st (14) (6/1 +14%) Mayor's Walk
6
6/1(+14%)
(14) Mayor's Walk 6/1, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. Makes chase debut. Back up in trip. Possibilities. Not been up to Listed level the last twice but should have a future over fences.
8
2nd (8) (3/1 +40%) Moonovercloon
3
3/1(+40%)
(8) Moonovercloon 3/1, Useful hurdler. 50/1, creditable third of 23 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.5f, soft) 19 days ago. Makes chase debut. Much respected. Bang there in a competitive 2m4f handicap hurdle at Punchestown when off a feather weight.
1
3rd (1) (6/1 +50%) Ambitious Fellow
6
6/1(+50%)
(1) Ambitious Fellow 6/1, Useful hurdler. Five wins from 18 NH runs. Respectable twelfth of 23 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Punchestown (20.5f, soft) 19 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Possibilities. Fell midrace on chase debut two runs back but hurdling ability is respected.
2
4th (2) (28/1 +15%) An Peann Dearg
28
28/1(+15%)
(2) An Peann Dearg 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 16/1 and hooded for 1st time, eighth of 12 in novice chase at Down Royal (19.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 17 days ago. Stable having good spell so he's no forlorn hope. Inferior hurdle form to some in here and didn't improve for fences at Down Royal.
10
5th (10) (12/1 -41%) The Friday Man
12
12/1(-41%)
(10) The Friday Man 12/1, Useful winner at 22f over hurdles. Respectable fourth of 9 in novice chase at Listowel (22f, soft, 3/1). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Useful hurdler who ran okay in defeat on all five chase starts for Gordon Elliott.
6
6th (6) (13/2 -30%) Fortunedefortunata
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(6) Fortunedefortunata 13/2, Promising type. Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Creditable fourth of 13 in novice chase (11/4) at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Merits consideration. Three-time winner over hurdles with mark of 129; has made a solid enough start over fences.
7
7th (7) (5/2 +25%) Maidenstreetprince
2.5
5/2(+25%)
(7) Maidenstreetprince 5/2, Promising sort. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 18/1, second of 14 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (17.1f, good) on debut over fences 16 days ago. Has good chance on form. Maiden hurdle winner; made pleasing start over fences at Ballinrobe behind a useful rival.
3
8th (3) (150/1 +0%) Aurea Fortuna
150
150/1(+0%)
(3) Aurea Fortuna 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 125/1, tenth of 12 in novice chase at Down Royal (19.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 17 days ago. First run for yard after leaving A. J. Martin with work to do. Lightly raced but 125-1 when tailed off on chase debut and was behind An Peann Dearg.
12
9th (12) (16/1 -14%) Whatsavailable
16
16/1(-14%)
(12) Whatsavailable 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Below form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy, 16/1) 179 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase with more required. Capable hurdler but has yet to translate that form over fences (0-3).
5
10th (5) (25/1 +24%) Fathom Two
25
25/1(+24%)
(5) Fathom Two 25/1, Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in novice chase at Down Royal (19.7f, good to soft) on debut over fences 17 days ago. More is required. Winning hurdler; back from a break he was last to finish on chase debut at Down Royal.
11
11th (11) (18/1 +28%) Whateys Quest
18
18/1(+28%)
(11) Whateys Quest 18/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in April. 9/4, fourth of 15 in novice chase at Tramore (21.8f, good) on debut over fences 31 days ago. Can take a step forward. Maiden hurdle winner before finishing fourth on chase debut at Tramore (2m6f).
18:25 Limerick Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Stable debutant The Friday Man posted several creditable efforts under the tutelage of Gordon Elliott last year and he shouldn't be far away if resuming in the same form. However, MAIDENSTREETPRINCE arrives on the back of a solid second in a beginners chase at Ballinrobe and any improvement for that first start over fences should make the seven-year-old tough to beat. Recent Punchestown third Moonovercloon could also have a say if taking to the larger obstacles.
Lots of potential on show and Charles Byrnes' promising young chaser Maidenstreetprince is fancied to build on his debut Ballinrobe second and open his account in this sphere. Gordon Elliott's Fortunedefortunata also has better days ahead of him and is feared most with newcomers Moonovercloon, Cuta des As and Mayor's Walk also in the picture in a fascinating contest.
The benefit of chasing experience bodes well for MAIDENSTREETPRINCE who chased home a talented horse at Ballinrobe.
(4) Junot 7/2, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle (9/2) at Wexford (17.2f, heavy) 5 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Third on chase debut and won over hurdles last week off only 2lb lower; chance.
18
(18) (12/1 +0%) Rewrite The Script
12
12/1(+0%)
(18) Rewrite The Script 12/1, 10/1, creditable eighth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.6f, good) 12 days ago. Makes chase debut. RESERVE. Reserve; beaten about 18l in two handicap hurdles for this yard; chase debut.
17
(17) (20/1 +0%) Wild As Fire
20
20/1(+0%)
(17) Wild As Fire 20/1, 12/1, tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (20f, soft) 67 days ago. Makes chase debut. RESERVE. Reserve; insufficient promise over hurdles to believe he'll take this on chase debut.
13
(13) (50/1 +0%) Katzoff
50
50/1(+0%)
(13) Katzoff 50/1, Fourteenth of 21 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, good, 100/1) 6 days ago. Switches from Flat to chase. Longstanding maiden; pulled up over fences before finishing 14th back on Flat last week.
10
1st (10) (13/2 +70%) Crowsatedappletart
6.5
13/2(+70%)
(10) Crowsatedappletart 13/2, One win from 22 NH runs. Ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 27 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces back on. He's yet to convince over fences and this lower mark is for a reason.
7
2nd (7) (5/1 +38%) Kilmacurkin
5
5/1(+38%)
(7) Kilmacurkin 5/1, Third of 10 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (19.4f, good, 9/1) on debut over fences 27 days ago. 0-8 but ran well to be a 13l third on last month's chase debut at Downpatrick.
2
3rd (2) (9/2 +31%) Tullyhogue Fort
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(2) Tullyhogue Fort 9/2, 17¼ lengths fourth of 5 to Favori De Champdou in Gr 3 chase at this course (24.6f, heavy, 66/1) 34 days ago, flattered by proximity. Looks competitive on form if that is taken at face value. Doesn't score highly on consistency and he's high enough in the weights.
16
4th (16) (12/1 +25%) Fr Gilligansvoyge
12
12/1(+25%)
(16) Fr Gilligansvoyge 12/1, One win from 50 NH runs. 20/1, excellent fifth of 10 in hunter chase at Punchestown (20.2f, soft) 20 days ago. Hunter chase winner; finished second off a higher mark last summer.
14
5th (14) (16/1 +20%) Ennemi Public
16
16/1(+20%)
(14) Ennemi Public 16/1, One win from 37 NH runs. Twenty first of 25 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, soft, 50/1) 49 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Maiden hurdle winner in 2020; had plenty of chances over fences and he's not improving.
12
6th (12) (33/1 -18%) Clyde The Glide
33
33/1(-18%)
(12) Clyde The Glide 33/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.4f, good, 18/1) 16 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut. Has shown pretty much nothing in three previous attempts over regulation fences.
19
7th (19) (18/1 +10%) Kate Ill Know
18
18/1(+10%)
(19) Kate Ill Know 18/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 14½ lengths sixth of 13 to Junot in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17.2f, heavy, 18/1) 5 days ago. Makes chase debut. RESERVE. Reserve; winning hurdler but an 11yo now so left it late to go over fences.
11
8th (11) (33/1 +34%) Gendarme
33
33/1(+34%)
(11) Gendarme 33/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Modest winner at 16f over hurdles. 40/1, pulled up in handicap chase at this course (17.4f, heavy) on debut over fences 34 days ago. Tongue tie off. Flat/hurdle winner; sent off 40-1 for recent chase debut here and was pulled.
9
9th (9) (14/1 -17%) Kilashee
14
14/1(-17%)
(9) Kilashee 14/1, Unreliable type. Seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.4f, good, 12/1) 16 days ago, having run of race. Switches from hurdles to chase. Dual hurdle winner who is 0-17 over fences and she's very up and down.
15
|F| (15) (16/1 +11%) Fly De Megaudais
16
16/1(+11%)
(15) Fly De Megaudais 16/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at this course (16f, heavy). Off 6 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip. Overall strike-rate of 3-50; has the form to feature off this mark.
3
|U| (3) (20/1 +29%) Filon D'oudairies
20
20/1(+29%)
(3) Filon D'oudairies 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, eighth of 10 in handicap chase at Punchestown (19.7f, soft) 130 days ago. Struggling for form at present. Wasn't running well when last seen and he's hard to catch right at the best of times.
8
10th (8) (18/1 +0%) Out Of The Park
18
18/1(+0%)
(8) Out Of The Park 18/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap chase (16/1) at Killarney (20.4f, good to soft) on debut over fences 10 days ago. Jumping left a bit to be desired when beaten a distance on chase debut at Killarney.
1
|PU| (1) (4/1 -33%) Gold Haven
4
4/1(-33%)
(1) Gold Haven 4/1, 11/2, surpassed hurdles form when second of 14 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.8f, good) on debut over fences 31 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Has good chance up just 3 lb. Threatened again when runner-up on last month's chase debut at Tramore.
5
|PU| (5) (16/1 +11%) Coastguard Lady
16
16/1(+11%)
(5) Coastguard Lady 16/1, First form over fences when sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.8f, good) 31 days ago. Latest 14l sixth in a 2m6f handicap at Tramore (good) was her best run for this yard.
6
|PU| (6) (18/1 +18%) Rule Of June
18
18/1(+18%)
(6) Rule Of June 18/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Clonmel (23f, soft) 35 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 3 out. Won a Tramore handicap chase in 2022 off a similar mark; ground too soft last time.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
KILMACURKIN was going well until a mistake two out saw him fade to third on his chasing debut at Downpatrick last month and he's likely to have benefitted from the experience. A step forward could be enough to see the son of Flemensfirth gain a first career success. Gold Haven, a close second on her chasing bow at Tramore, also rates a key player on the back of that promising run. The class-dropping Tullyhogue Fort has more experience over fences and is not ruled out at this level.
GOLD HAVEN left her hurdles form behind at the first attempt over fences when second at Tramore a month ago and on that evidence, this mark could well be within range. Junot was better than ever over hurdles on Saturday so has to be feared, along with KIlmacurkin.
It was a positive start over fences for GOLD HAVEN when second at Tramore and she's taken to go one better.
(8) Sam Magee 11/2, Jet Away gelding who found some improvement when winning 4-runner novice hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 28 days ago, by 7 lengths from Givehimthehonour, pushed out. Boasts a win in points previously and no surprise to see him make his mark over larger obstacles. Wexford novice hurdle winner; could well play a major role on chasing debut.
4
(4) (11/1 -38%) Folcano
11
11/1(-38%)
(4) Folcano 11/1, Useful handicap hurdler who displayed definite promise initially over fences during 2022. Possibly needed the run after 16 months off when pulled up in handicap chase at Navan (23.4f, heavy) 61 days ago, tailing off early in straight. This should reveal more. Moderate comeback run in March; chance on past form but hard to be confident in now.
10
(10) (16/1 -14%) West Is Awake
16
16/1(-14%)
(10) West Is Awake 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in October. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Leopardstown (23.4f, heavy) 147 days ago. Makes chase debut. 118-rated hurdler goes well fresh but likely to be all the better for this chase debut.
5
(5) (16/1 +0%) Givehimthehonour
16
16/1(+0%)
(5) Givehimthehonour 16/1, Fair hurdler. 6/4, 7 lengths second of 4 to Sam Magee in novice hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Successful only start in points and he could have more to offer now attentions switch to larger obstacles. Placed form hurdling; points' winner the type to make a better chaser.
1
(1) (17/2 +66%) All In Montmartre
8.5
17/2(+66%)
(1) All In Montmartre 17/2, Pulled up sole start in points but made perfect start over hurdles when winning a Downpatrick maiden (18.7f) last June. Absent since finishing seventh of 8 in novice hurdle at Galway (20.7f, good to soft) in August and market best guide now chasing after 9 months off. Chasing debut after 9 months absence; seemingly the stable second-choice so may need this.
7
1st (7) (10/11 +86%) Reverend Hubert
0.909091
10/11(+86%)
(7) Reverend Hubert 10/11, Fairly useful hurdler who opened his account in that sphere at Downpatrick (21.7f) last summer. Fit from a spin on the Flat at Navan (13f) last month and the market should guide now his attentions switch to chasing. 134-rated hurdler; interesting to see how Flat-bred 6yo takes to fences here.
9
2nd (9) (15/2 -15%) Stuzzikini
7.5
15/2(-15%)
(9) Stuzzikini 15/2, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Clonmel in November. 100/1, bit below form eleventh of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Makes chase debut. 128-rated hurdler disappointing of late but still respected on chase debut.
11
3rd (11) (15/8 +16%) What Path
1.875
15/8(+16%)
(11) What Path 15/8, Useful hurdler. 33/1, below form sixteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.5f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Represents top yard and he could yet get back on track now switched to larger obstacles. Among the best of these hurdling; major player if jumping holds up on chase debut.
2
4th (2) (14/1 +13%) Caesar Rock
14
14/1(+13%)
(2) Caesar Rock 14/1, Fairly useful chaser. 20/1, fifth of 7 in novice chase at Tipperary (23.4f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Claims on pick of form for all he's had plenty of chances already. Plenty of chasing experience; better for recent comeback run and place claims.
3
5th (3) (12/1 +40%) Chiefs Kingdom
12
12/1(+40%)
(3) Chiefs Kingdom 12/1, Fair hurdler. 9/2, showed plenty to work on when fourth of 10 in novice chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft) on debut over fences 28 days ago, inadequate test. Step back up in trip should help and likely he can do better again. Respectable chasing debut at Wexford but gave the impression he'll need more experience.
6
6th (6) (100/1 +33%) Portnacoo
100
100/1(+33%)
(6) Portnacoo 100/1, Modest hurdler. 12/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (19.8f, soft) 39 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time but he's hard to warm to on chase debut. Moderate maiden hurdler, very hard to see him featuring on chase debut.
19:25 Limerick Maiden Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WHAT PATH was quite highly tried over hurdles and starts out over fences at a realistic level for one of his potential. A large-framed son of Coastal Path, the selection has the stamp of a chaser and could well flourish over the larger obstacles at the first time of asking. Chiefs Kingdom posted a respectable effort on his chasing bow at Wexford last month and can go close with another step forward, while Sam Magee and Reverend Hubert are a couple of others to note.
WHAT PATH hasn't been at his very best over hurdles in recent months but the pick of his form in that sphere entitles him to plenty of respect now chasing and he could just be worth siding with to get back on track for his leading yard. Sam Magee, following a career best over hurdles, is also respected, with the Gordon Elliott pair Stuzzikini and Folcano others to note.
Quite competitive with the less exposed SAM MAGEE taken to make a winning chase debut
(4) Lilian Bland 9/1, Winner in chase at Thurles in March. Shaped quite well when third of 11 in handicap chase (13/2) at Killarney (20.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Can make presence felt. Thurles winner has struggled off revised mark since; not let up from the handicapper yet.
12
(12) (12/1 -33%) Glenmalure Lodge
12
12/1(-33%)
(12) Glenmalure Lodge 12/1, One win from 29 NH runs. Winner in chase at Ballinrobe in September. 6/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Punchestown (19.7f, soft) 130 days ago. Needs to improve on recent form but possible now on better ground.
8
(8) (13/2 +54%) Song For My Father
6.5
13/2(+54%)
(8) Song For My Father 13/2, 14/1, on the retreat when brought down in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24f, good to soft) on Tuesday. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut. Brought down over hurdles at Punchestown on Tuesday; handicap chase debut here.
13
(13) (16/1 -60%) Starlight Cato
16
16/1(-60%)
(13) Starlight Cato 16/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap chase (11/2) at Tipperary (23.4f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Needs to bounce back, not sure if this quicker ground is what he wants though.
3
(3) (16/1 +0%) Le Malin
16
16/1(+0%)
(3) Le Malin 16/1, 14/1, seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) 100 days ago. Break needs to have freshened him up. French hurdles winner but recent handicap chase form has been poor and hard to fancy.
14
(14) (20/1 +39%) Danesfort Mayfly
20
20/1(+39%)
(14) Danesfort Mayfly 20/1, Last of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft, 25/1) 32 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Poor recent form over various trips; impossible to make a case for.
5
(5) (22/1 -83%) Carrolls Cottage
22
22/1(-83%)
(5) Carrolls Cottage 22/1, Unreliable type. 9/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.5f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Lost his way in recent times and hard to fancy despite reduced mark.
15
(15) (50/1 +0%) Eltico
50
50/1(+0%)
(15) Eltico 50/1, 50/1, eighth of 14 in handicap chase at Down Royal (20.4f, heavy) 121 days ago. Veteran continues to struggle off lowly marks in handicaps, can't be fancied.
2
1st (2) (2/1 +50%) Kilmurry Jj
2
2/1(+50%)
(2) Kilmurry Jj 2/1, 4/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap chase at Tramore (21.8f, good) 31 days ago. Has good chance on form raised 8 lb for that win. Tramore winner up 8lb but quite likely he'll improve again.
1
2nd (1) (11/1 +21%) Cosmic Blizzard
11
11/1(+21%)
(1) Cosmic Blizzard 11/1, Ninth of 13 in novice chase (80/1) at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. Hasn't threatened in three beginners' chases, opening mark looks on the high side.
7
3rd (7) (7/1 +30%) Chainofconsequence
7
7/1(+30%)
(7) Chainofconsequence 7/1, Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap chase at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft, 8/1) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive. Recent form well below best but likes this track so don't rule out.
18
4th (18) (25/1 -56%) Greenway Machine
25
25/1(-56%)
(18) Greenway Machine 25/1, One win from 23 NH runs. Winner in chase at Downpatrick in October. Fifth of 8 in handicap chase (12/1) at Tramore (22.8f, heavy) 143 days ago. RESERVE. Veteran effective at this lowly level but needs to bounce back; reserve.
10
5th (10) (7/1 +18%) Tuff Days
7
7/1(+18%)
(10) Tuff Days 7/1, 11/1, eighth of 10 in hunter chase at Tramore (21.8f, good) on debut over fences 31 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Hurdles ability but lak of chasing experience a negative on handicap debut.
6
6th (6) (22/1 +12%) Out The Gap
22
22/1(+12%)
(6) Out The Gap 22/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap chase (33/1) at Tipperary (16.5f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. 14-race maiden who has yet to place and has rarely threatened to do so; hard to fancy.
11
7th (11) (14/1 -56%) Stormy Master
14
14/1(-56%)
(11) Stormy Master 14/1, Course winner. One win from 2 runs last season. 28/1, won 16-runner handicap chase at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft), pushed out. Off 11 months. Absent since Wexford win last June; winner here in the past so don't rule out.
17
8th (17) (11/4 +63%) Getaway Master
2.75
11/4(+63%)
(17) Getaway Master 11/4, Winner in hurdle here in March. Creditable sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle (10/3) at this course (19f, heavy) 42 days ago. Makes chase debut. RESERVE, C&D hurdles winner less exposed than most so demands respect on chase debut; reserve.
16
9th (16) (12/1 +52%) Father Jed
12
12/1(+52%)
(16) Father Jed 12/1, Fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, soft, 20/1) 34 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and represents in-form yard. Veteran should appreciate improved ground conditions.
9
|F| (9) (18/1 -100%) Electric Dreamer
18
18/1(-100%)
(9) Electric Dreamer 18/1, Very good sixth of 10 in novice chase at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft, 100/1) 11 days ago. Cheekpieces on for handicap debut and she's not yet exposed, though her jumping is a concern. Nothing to take from three attempts chasing; cheekpieces tried here on handicap debut.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
KILMURRY JJ got off the mark on just his second start for these connections over 2m6f at Tramore last month and the seven-year-old merits the utmost respect, despite an 8lb rise in the ratings for that success. Lilian Bland was well held when third at Killarney recently but she should not be discounted, while Glenmalure Lodge and Cosmic Blizzard are others to note.
KILMURRY JJ Landed a few bets when making his second chase start a winning one at Tramore a month ago under this conditional rider and the follow up may well be forthcoming. Lilian Bland and Glenmalure Lodge are a couple of potential threats.
KILMURRY JJ (nap) is one of the few progressive types in the field and can follow up a recent Tramore win on similar ground
(6) Bocelli's Voice 6/1, 9/2, career best when winning 10-runner novice chase at Wexford (16f, good to soft) 28 days ago, finding extra. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. One to consider. Wexford beginners' win over 2m; unproven stayer as yet but still respected on handicap bow.
2
(2) (6/1 +63%) Gateau De Miel
6
6/1(+63%)
(2) Gateau De Miel 6/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap chase at Down Royal (24f, soft, 18/1). Off 6 months. Likely to need the run. Lack of a recent run a negative but could go well and ground no issue.
11
(11) (10/1 +17%) He Fitz In
10
10/1(+17%)
(11) He Fitz In 10/1, Course winner. Latest win in chase here in March. Fell in handicap chase (33/1) at Punchestown (31.3f, soft) 19 days ago. Not dismissed. Out of depth latest but previous winner here a definite player back in grade.
10
(10) (13/2 +46%) Favori Logique
6.5
13/2(+46%)
(10) Favori Logique 13/2, 5/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Down Royal (26.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Rein snapped last time so that run ignored; definite chance with ground to suit.
3
(3) (25/1 +0%) Grange Island
25
25/1(+0%)
(3) Grange Island 25/1, 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 11 in hunter chase at Killarney (23f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Dangerous if scaling a revival. Well held in hunter-chases of late; handicap debut and needs to improve.
7
1st (7) (9/2 -64%) Surf Club
4.5
9/2(-64%)
(7) Surf Club 9/2, Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle (evens) at Downpatrick (23.2f, good) 27 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Impressive on chasing debut and has plenty of potential in this sphere, so looks the one to beat. Tramore winner for whom ground remains in his favour but stamina concerns on handicap bow.
13
2nd (13) (14/1 +44%) Definiteadare
14
14/1(+44%)
(13) Definiteadare 14/1, Pulled up in handicap chase (10/1) at Killarney (20.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago, tailing off some way out. Up in trip. Recent Killarney comeback run disappointing though expected to improve now upped in trip.
8
3rd (8) (3/1 +73%) Broken Ice
3
3/1(+73%)
(8) Broken Ice 3/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft, 18/1) 32 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Struggling to win in handicap company but approaching competitive mark.
5
4th (5) (12/1 -20%) Temptationinmilan
12
12/1(-20%)
(5) Temptationinmilan 12/1, 11/2, sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Down Royal (26.2f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Others have achieved more. Recent Down Royal run leaves him with a fair bit to find and usual headgear now left off.
9
5th (9) (8/1 +64%) The Dabbler
8
8/1(+64%)
(9) The Dabbler 8/1, Inconsistent performer. Tenth of 11 in handicap chase (16/1) at Down Royal (26.2f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Others make more appeal. Run here at Christmas encouraging, not so at Down Royal last time.
4
6th (4) (5/2 +38%) Invictus Machin
2.5
5/2(+38%)
(4) Invictus Machin 5/2, Very good second of 9 in handicap chase (14/1) at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Can make presence felt. Tramore second encouraging; steadily improving 6yo and tries a new trip here.
12
|B| (12) (13/2 +35%) Nazine
6.5
13/2(+35%)
(12) Nazine 13/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap chase (4/1) at Killarney (20.4f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers back on. Best effort when third in 3m Tipperary handicap two starts back; headgear change.
1
|F| (1) (14/1 +36%) Sphagnum
14
14/1(+36%)
(1) Sphagnum 14/1, 20/1, possibly amiss when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.6f, soft), weakening early final circuit. Off 6 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. Absent since pulled up over hurdles in November; handicap debut and may just need this.
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
INVICTUS MACHIN put in a career best over fences when second over an extended 2m5f at Tramore a month ago and Gavin Cromwell's gelding could go one better with a reproduction of that effort here. That said, Bocelli's Voice is an obvious threat to the selection following his Wexford victory four weeks ago and Surf Club is another with valid form claims.
SURF CLUB jumped well when making a winning start to chasing at Tramore in April and probably found the race coming too soon over hurdles next time, so he's a confident choice to double his tally in this sphere at the possible expense of Bocelli's Voice, who found plenty to score at Wexford last time. Invictus Machine is another one to consider.
This step up in trip could bring about improvement in the 6yo INVICTUS MACHIN who was doing his best work at the finish at Tramore

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
