(4) Night And Day 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Off 7 months when fifth of 7 in novice chase (9/2) at Cork (21f, soft) on debut over fences 42 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Should do better in this sphere.

LTO Selection:

12:30 Naas Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

BRANDY LOVE is hard to oppose here on her second outing over fences. The Grade 1 winning hurdler was turned over at a short price on her chase debut at Gowran in November when she was a bit novicey on her first attempt over the larger obstacles. Going up in trip now will help and this is a weaker race. Jumping Jet could be the one to give her most to do. The Getaway mare was a fine third to Ask Anything at Down Royal on St Stephen's Day when staying on well to the line. Henning struggled in Grade 2 company at Limerick last time but should pick up prize-money here.

Smart hurdler BRANDY LOVE was far from perfect when failing to land the odds on her chase bow at Gowran but she should learn from that and this looks a good opportunity. Jumping Jet stepped up on her chase debut when third at Down Royal and rates the main threat.

The best mare in the race is Grade 1 winning hurdler BRANDY LOVE who should improve sufficiently from her Gowran debut mto land this

(3) Quilixios 4/1, Smart hurdler (Triumph Hurdle winner in 2021). Winless in 4 starts last term but made it first time lucky over fences at Limerick (19f) in October. 3m likely stretched him in Punchestown Grade 2 6 weeks ago and better expected here.

88-rated hurdler has failed to complete in both chases; totally out of his depth.
LTO Selection:

13:00 Naas Novices Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

MISTER POLICEMAN wasn't overly impressive on his chase debut at Fairyhouse in late November but he is obviously well regarded and should improve from that initial effort over fences. The Triple Treat gelding got under the second last then and had to work to pick up stablemate Feu Du Bresil late on. He did show some gears to get the job done to be fair to him and this is a nice stepping stone now. Quilixios takes a drop in trip now having weakened tamely over three miles in Grade 2 company at Punchestown last time. The former Triumph Hurdle winner has the class to be a big player dropping in grade. Sa Fureur was a fortunate winner at Fairyhouse last month but is a decent sort and should be in the money here.

Displaying smart form on his sole start over hurdles for Willie Mullins, MISTER POLICEMAN overcame a scare when scoring narrowly on chase debut at Fairyhouse 44 days ago and, with the prospect of plenty more to come from the 6-y-o, he can land this with bigger targets lying in wait. Sa Fureur and Quilixios can emerge as the lead threats.

The one to be on should be MISTER POLICEMAN, unbeaten in two Irish starts and capable of much better than his Fairyhouse chase debut

Last season's Pertemps Final winner, may be well enough handicapped, trip seems too short.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Naas Handicap Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

SNAKE OIL ran well on his first start in handicap company over fences when third at Leopardstown and can strike now. The Westerner gelding was beaten four lengths by The Folkes Tiara in a competitive event and is only a pound higher. Bythesametoken is a very consistent performer and is an obvious danger. The Fame And Glory gelding lost out by half a length at Haydock just before Christmas and is sure to be thereabouts again. Union Park is another coming here in fine form, having won over timber at Cork in late November, and he also has to be on the shortlist.

Plenty to consider but INVICTUS MACHIN looks to have been brought along over fences with handicaps in mind so he could well find the required improvement. Union Park and Snake Oil head the dangers.

Barry Connell has been patient with SNAKE OIL who may have derived enough benefit from his handicap debut to step up two places.

Winner of two bumpers and a maiden hurdle but stable appears to have stronger candidates.

14:00 Naas Novices Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

FIREFOX was impressive when taking his maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse last month and that form has received a nice boost since. He quickened away in some style to beat Ballyburn then and that rival was a very easy winner at Leopardstown over Christmas. Going two-and-a-half miles now should be no worry for Firefix, who was a big eye-catcher on his debut run over this trip at Navan in November 2022. The selection faces a fascinating rematch with Ile Atlantique, who he beat in a Fairyhouse bumper last April. Willie Mullins' charge travelled best early in the straight then before being worn down by his rival in the closing stages. The Coastal Path gelding had also done the same thing in his previous bumper and it will be interesting to see what he finds for pressure now in better company over hurdles. Mullins saddles five of the eight runners. Mystical Power, the regally-bred son of Galileo and Annie Power, faces an acid test having won twice last summer and it will be interesting to see how he measures up.

A Grade 1 novice unsurprisingly packed full of potential. FIREFOX, a useful 3-time winner in bumpers, marked himself down as one more than capable of making his mark at this level when successful on hurdles bow at Fairyhouse 5 weeks ago and shades the vote. The regally bred Mystical Power was a taking winner at Galway last summer and promises to do even better, with his stablemate Ile Atlantique another worth considering in a race very much to note.

Gordon Ellott's FIREFOX can take this for by upholding bumper form with Ile Atlantique, best of the Willie Mullins-trained squad

14:35 Naas Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

TULLYHILL can atone for his short price defeat on his hurdling debut. The Martaline gelding was runner-up to A Dream To Share in the Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown and went to post a 1/8 shot on his first outing over timber at Punchestown in late November. He weakened tamely before the last then when beaten a long way by Shannon Royale. A lot of the yard's runner were improving for an outing at that time and he should leave the run behind. Point-to-point winner Undeniable Alibi was turned over at a short price in a Fairyhouse bumper last month. He may improve for going hurdling now and could get closer. Stoneyford Lady, a half-sister to Captain Guinness, is an interesting newcomer for Henry de Bromhead and market support would be significant.

TULLYHILL was turned over at prohibitive odds first time over hurdles but he was classy in bumpers and is fully expected to go one better here. Stoneyford makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and Undeniable Alibi, although underwhelming on Rules debut, is one to be interested in based on point form.

A talented bumper horse last season, TULLYHILL can atone for his unexpected defeat on hurdling debut at Punchestown.

15:10 Naas Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

BLENHEIM BELLE ran well in a competitive event at Punchestown last time and looks capable of winning again off her current mark. The Churchill mare stayed on into third behind the in-form Hunting Brook then and off just a couple of pounds higher she should be capable of another big show. Butty O Brien was a game winner at Navan three weeks ago and could be a danger off just a 4lb higher mark. Crafty Gael was knocking on the door during the summer but this testing ground would be a slight concern.

Lots with chances. CIRCUS ACT comes here on the back of a very good Dundalk second on the Flat so is taken to capitalise on a lenient mark now back in this sphere. American Money is also weighted to have a say and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can be made for the likes of Butty O Brien, Junot, Pride of Place and Blenheim Belle who all need factoring into this highly competitive handicap.

A sporting selection goes the way of CIRCUS ACT, who returned to form in a Flat handicap at Dundalk in November and is tried in blinkers

15:40 Naas NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Patrick Mullins rode a winner for Tom Cooper in these colours last year when D Art D Art won a four-year-old bumper at Gowran Park and he is an eye-catching booking for SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY. The French-bred gelding is a son of German Group 1 winner Dschingis Secret and his dam is a half-sister to French Group 1 winner Tac De Boistron. Gordon Elliott saddles Kelley Kapowski, a daughter of Elusive Pimpernel, and she commands respect. She is a half-sister to Swedish Listed winner Elusive Time. Richard O'Brien does well with his bumper horses and won this a couple of years ago with Impulsive Dancer. Money for Frogman, an Ol' Man River gelding, would be noteworthy.

KELLEY KAPOWSKI is related to a few Flat winners and represents a top stable, so she's the one to side with without the benefit of market clues. Shuttle Diplomacy is one to note with Patrick Mullins on board and Balovale is of interest on pedigree.

No more than a sporting selection goes to PAUDIE'S WINGS from a stable that usually lines one up for this race with some success

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.
