1st (3) (5/1 -43%) Quilixios |
5/1(-43%) | (3) Quilixios 5/1, 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 the following month and better expected here. Winning start to his chasing career at Limerick before running no race at Punchestown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (16/5 -16%) Sa Fureur |
16/5(-16%) | (4) Sa Fureur 16/5, Useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Fell on reappearance/chase debut (in process of running well) and off the mark in fortuitous fashion at Fairyhouse (16.5f) 4 weeks ago, held when left clear last. In good hands and he may yet do better in this sphere. Left clear by the final fence fall of odds-on favourite Hunters Yarn at Fairyhouse latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (8/15 +27%) Mister Policeman |
8/15(+27%) | (2) Mister Policeman 8/15, Smart ex-French hurdler who impressed when landing Cork novice hurdle in April and marked himself down as an exciting prospect when narrowly defeating stablemate on chase debut at Fairyhouse in November. Big player with prospect of plenty more to come. Looks capable of considerable improvement from Fairyhouse and looks the one to beat here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (20/1 -43%) Aslukwoodhavit |
20/1(-43%) | (1) Aslukwoodhavit 20/1, Fairly useful hurdler who showed improved form to make winning return/novice chase debut at Punchestown (15.6f) 57 days ago, jumping fine and winning readily under hand riding. More to come in this sphere for all this rates tougher. Readily landed a beginners chase at Punchestown in November; could go close here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (250/1 -67%) One Of Us Is Lying |
250/1(-67%) | (5) One Of Us Is Lying 250/1, Modest hurdler. 200/1, fell in novice chase at Down Royal (20f, soft) 17 days ago. Hard to make any sort of case for. 88-rated hurdler has failed to complete in both chases; totally out of his depth. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MISTER POLICEMAN is held in high regard by connections and can maintain his unbeaten Irish record. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding won over hurdles at Cork last term and again beat a stablemate when making a successful chasing debut on his return over this trip at Fairyhouse. Quilixios was a smart juvenile, winning the Triumph Hurdle, and overcame a lengthy layoff when making a successful switch to fences at Limerick in October. The step up to three miles the following month didn't suit, and riding arrangements suggest he's preferred to Aslukwoodhavit who got his chasing career off to a winning start at Punchestown. Sa Fureur completed a hat-trick over hurdles last season when taking a Thurles Grade 3 but was very fortunate to score over fences at Fairyhouse last month.
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 49 days ago and, with the prospect of plenty more to come from the 6-y-o, he can land this ahead of bigger targets. Sa Fureur and Quilixios are 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

1st (3) (16/1 -33%) Pats Choice |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Pats Choice 16/1, Latest win in chase at Galway in October. Bit below form when seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17f, soft, 8/1) 41 days ago. Two wins in the first half of the season, below best on his last two starts, visored now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (18/1 -29%) Itwasfate |
18/1(-29%) | (12) Itwasfate 18/1, 14/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, running well, fell in handicap chase at Thurles (18.3f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Can make presence felt if none the worse. Fair placed form last August, up against it now following poor a couple of below-par runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (16/1 -33%) Union Park |
16/1(-33%) | (7) Union Park 16/1, Capitalised on a lower hurdles mark in 12-runner handicap (12/1) at Cork (20f, heavy) 47 days ago. Back chasing now. Won off his lower hurdles mark at Cork, could go well for stable having a fine season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/2 +0%) Snake Oil |
7/2(+0%) | (5) Snake Oil 7/2, Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Very good third of 10 in handicap chase (6/1) at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Merits consideration. Ran encouragingly when a staying-on third over 2m1f at Leopardstown, should be thereabouts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (8/1 +0%) Midnight It Is |
8/1(+0%) | (11) Midnight It Is 8/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in October. Respectable third of 7 in handicap chase at Clonmel (17.9f, heavy, 9/2) 36 days ago. Trip should suit judging by Clonmel win three starts ago, rider claims a useful 5lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/1 +8%) Bythesametoken |
11/1(+8%) | (4) Bythesametoken 11/1, Latest win in chase at Killarney in October. 7/1, second of 4 in handicap chase at Haydock (16.3f, heavy) 20 days ago. Can give another good account. Largely dependable sort in 2023, had valid excuse at Haydock when lost his right-hind shoe. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (12/1 -50%) Happy Dreams |
12/1(-50%) | (8) Happy Dreams 12/1, Course winner. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap chase (13/2) at Limerick (19.4f, heavy) 15 days ago. Hit with a 9 lb rise. Won a valuable Limerick contest on latest, 2m probably inadequate even at this stiff track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (4/1 +38%) Genois |
4/1(+38%) | (2) Genois 4/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in handicap chase (5/1) at Navan (20.4f, heavy) 34 days ago. Down in trip. Tendency to make mistakes is a source of concern, could be hard to beat with a clear round. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (20/1 -25%) Walnut Beach |
20/1(-25%) | (6) Walnut Beach 20/1, 28/1, respectable fifth of 10 in maiden chase at Thurles (18.4f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Faced a tough task in a beginners' chase at Thurles, this offers him a realistic chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (10) (10/1 -25%) Invictus Machin |
10/1(-25%) | (10) Invictus Machin 10/1, Fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles. 80/1, seventh of 10 in maiden chase at Fairyhouse (16.5f, heavy) 49 days ago. Remains capable of better now heading into handicaps. Hard to make a strong case for him, but feasible that he may feature on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (25/1 -25%) Good Time Jonny |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Good Time Jonny 25/1, In top form in valuable handicap hurdles at the big festivals during the spring, winning Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in March. However, he again failed to shine over fences when well held at Fairyhouse on his reappearance 41 days ago. Back down in trip for handicap chase debut. Last season's Pertemps Final winner, may be well enough handicapped, trip seems too short. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (9/2 +18%) Verdant Place |
9/2(+18%) | (9) Verdant Place 9/2, Fairly useful winner at 24f over hurdles. Sixth of 12 in maiden chase (66/1) at Navan (17f, heavy) 55 days ago. Makes handicap debut in this sphere. Best hurdles form at up to 2m7f, not much yet over fences but may find his level now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SNAKE OIL is obviously not the easiest to train with very few miles on the clock, but the Fairyhouse maiden hurdle winner advertised his claims when tackling handicap company over fences for the first time at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. The Westerner gelding kept on well in third behind The Folkes Tiara and remains on a competitive mark. Happy Dreams took the valuable Tim Duggan Handicap Chase at Limerick over Christmas but has been raised 9lb and may not be suited by this drop back in trip. Verdant Place was a progressive sort in handicap hurdles last season but is another that may find this trip a bit sharp on his first start in a handicap chase. Bythesametoken is a consistent sort while others for the shortlist include Midnight It Is and Union Park.
SNAKE OIL matched his hurdles form contesting his first handicap in this sphere when third at Leopardstown 17 days ago and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, he makes plenty of appeal from only 1 lb higher. Bythesametoken and Invictus Machin head the opposition.
Barry Connell has been patient with SNAKE OIL who may have derived enough benefit from his handicap debut at Leopardstown to win here

1st (7) (16/1 +52%) Readin Tommy Wrong |
16/1(+52%) | (7) Readin Tommy Wrong 16/1, Authorized gelding who was 2-2 in bumpers and though made to work harder, maintained his 100% record when successful in a Cork maiden on hurdles debut in November. Step up to 2½m ought to suit on pedigree and very good prospect for all this rates a whole lot tougher. Winner of two bumpers and a maiden hurdle but stable appears to have stronger candidates. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (6/4 +14%) Ile Atlantique |
6/4(+14%) | (5) Ile Atlantique 6/4, Promising type. Career best when winning 15-runner novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy, 4/9) on hurdles bow 62 days ago, soon clear. Up in trip and worth considering with good deal more expected. Second to Firefox in a bumper, looked a top prospect on hurdling return, stable selected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (14/1 +13%) Lecky Watson |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Lecky Watson 14/1, Useful bumper performer who tasted success on hurdles bow at Thurles (23f) in November and built considerably on that when second in Navan Grade 2 (20f, heavy) 5 weeks ago, keeping on despite taking a strong hold. Type to do better again. Jumping was untidy when second to a stablemate of An Tobar in 2m4f Grade 2 event at Navan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (15/8 -7%) Firefox |
15/8(-7%) | (4) Firefox 15/8, Useful, 3-time winner in bumpers who impressed on all fronts when making a successful switch to hurdling at Fairyhouse last month, jumping/travelling well and always having matters in hand. Well worth his place at this higher level and leading claims up in trip. Three bumper wins including defeat of Ile Atlantique, impressive maiden hurdle winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (8/1 -33%) An Tobar |
8/1(-33%) | (1) An Tobar 8/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. 5/2, 2¾ lengths third of 8 to Farren Glory in Royal Bond Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 40 days ago. Up in trip. Should progress. Failed to quicken when third in the Royal Bond, form is solid, extra half-mile should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (11/1 -22%) Chapeau De Soleil |
11/1(-22%) | (2) Chapeau De Soleil 11/1, Promise in 2 starts in bumpers and had little fuss landing 17-runner novice at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy, 4/6) on hurdles bow 36 days ago, cruising clear. Open to significant progress. Made all under today's rider to beat modest opposition readily at Clonmel, unexposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (14/1 -27%) Croke Park |
14/1(-27%) | (3) Croke Park 14/1, Runner-up only start in bumpers and he arrives here having made it 2-2 over hurdles when landing 6-runner Grade 3 Monksfield Novices' Hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 4/6) 49 days ago by 3¼ lengths from Mel Monroe. Jumped soundly then and possibilities upped further in class. Was suited by the step up to 2m4f when landing Grade 3 Navan event, Firefox appeals more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
AN TOBAR should appreciate this extra half-mile. He won a point-to-point in runaway fashion for Denis Murphy but there was a lengthy gap before appearing on the track to take a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle in fine style. Henry de Bromhead's charge was far from disgraced when third in the Grade 1 Royal Bond at the same venue and the form of that race has been advertised since. Firefox beat Ile Atlantique in a bumper at the Fairyhouse Easter Meeting and the pair have both impressed in maiden hurdle wins this season. Riding arrangements suggest they are the stable's preferred, although Croke Park has a Grade 3 success to his name over this trip at Navan, while the remaining Mullins trio also merit plenty of respect.
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 6 weeks ago and earns the vote now upped in trip. Ile Atlantique, a similarly exciting prospect, may well emerge as the chief threat following his facile hurdles debut victory at Gowran. Croke Park could do best of the others in a race very much one to note.
Gordon Elliort's FIREFOX gets the vote to uphold last season's bumper form with Ile Atlantique, the pick of the Mullins runners

1st (16) (2/9 +58%) Tullyhill |
2/9(+58%) | (16) Tullyhill 2/9, Smart winner at 18f in bumpers. Promising second of 5 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (22f, soft, 1/8) on hurdles bow 47 days ago. Trainer going well. Has lots more to offer and is hard to oppose. One of last season's top bumper horses, fancied to make amends for Punchestown lapse. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (10/1 -150%) Lightkeeper |
10/1(-150%) | (9) Lightkeeper 10/1, €68,000 3-y-o, £25,000 5-y-o, Walk In The Park gelding. Dam (c133/h120), 17f-2½m hurdle/chase winner (stayed 4m), closely related to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Victoria Bay. Runner-up on last of 3 starts in points (Apr 2023). Considered newcomer. Demoted after a point win, will need to raise his game to trouble Tullyhill. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (20/1 -82%) Union Station |
20/1(-82%) | (17) Union Station 20/1, Leading Light gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart hurdler/chaser Ok Corral and untrustworthy but fairly useful hurdler/chaser Breaking Waves. Interesting newcomer. Half-brother to winners including the very useful OK Corral, dam is a sister to Tidal Bay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (23) (18/1 +36%) Stoneyford Lady |
18/1(+36%) | (23) Stoneyford Lady 18/1, Valirann mare. Half-sister to useful hurdler/top-class chaser Captain Guinness and useful hurdler Brookie. Shortlisted. Of automatic interest as a half-sister to the trainer's talented chaser Captain Guinness. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (24) (15/2 +66%) The Great Unknown |
15/2(+66%) | (24) The Great Unknown 15/2, Promising sort. 20/1, fifth of 26 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) on NH debut 34 days ago. Open to improvement. Fifth in a 26-runner maiden at Navan, should improve enough to get into the money. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (9/1 +18%) Master Otis |
9/1(+18%) | (10) Master Otis 9/1, Fair hurdler. 66/1, tenth of 28 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 17 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Became disappointing in bumpers, should improve from his recent hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (50/1 -317%) Howdoyalikeherhome |
50/1(-317%) | (5) Howdoyalikeherhome 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Good second of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (19f, soft, 80/1) 29 days ago. In the mix. Showed massive improvement when second here last month but this is a stronger race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (22) (50/1 -25%) Stagecoach Mary |
50/1(-25%) | (22) Stagecoach Mary 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Ian Patrick Donoghue when fifth of 16 in bumper at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Much respected on her hurdles debut. Second on the first of three bumper runs, has ability but this is a tough introduction. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (200/1 -60%) John The Diva |
200/1(-60%) | (7) John The Diva 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 15 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Limerick (16f, heavy) on NH debut 15 days ago. Placed in a point in 2021, tailed off on hurdling debut at Limerick 15 days ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (21) (25/1 +75%) Mythical Vision |
25/1(+75%) | (21) Mythical Vision 25/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 25 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy, 40/1) on NH debut 34 days ago. Should have more to offer. Remote eighth in a 25-runner Navan maiden won by the smart Caldwell Potter, can improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (25) (150/1 -20%) You Make Me Smile |
150/1(-20%) | (25) You Make Me Smile 150/1, 300/1, tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) 11 days ago. Limited on the Flat and in bumpers, has struggled in two outings over hurdles.. |

250/1(+0%) | (2) Ebony Jade 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, twenty second of 25 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Fourth in a six-runner bumper, tailed off in two maiden hurdle outings, safe to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (200/1 -60%) Irish Impulse |
200/1(-60%) | (6) Irish Impulse 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 24 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.8f, heavy) 33 days ago. Not disgraced in ninth in a 24-runner maiden at Cork last month, will need more experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (8) (200/1 -150%) Lake Manzaleh |
200/1(-150%) | (8) Lake Manzaleh 200/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 66/1, sixth of 9 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 92 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Joseph Hanlon. Poor form in bumpers and a maiden hurdle for Shark Hanlon, tongue-tie now on stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (14) (250/1 +0%) Tell Us This |
250/1(+0%) | (14) Tell Us This 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, thirteenth of 26 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Room for improvement in his jumping, will be of more interest in handicaps in due course. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (20) (250/1 +0%) Gentle Anna |
250/1(+0%) | (20) Gentle Anna 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Twentieth of 24 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.8f, heavy, 200/1) 33 days ago. Promise in point-to-points for Colin Bowe, has struggled in two Cork maiden hurdle outings. |

18th (15) (250/1 +0%) The Striker Dylan |
250/1(+0%) | (15) The Striker Dylan 250/1, €85,000 3-y-o, Affinisea gelding. Brother to bumper winner Just For Love. Dam unraced sister to ungenuine but very smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Outlander. Market can guide. Brother to Just For Love a debut bumper winner for Willie Mullins, excellent pedigree. |

250/1(+0%) | (4) Hatfield Hammer 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, sixteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 17 days ago. Soundly beaten in three runs over hurdles so far, makes no appeal here. |

22nd (3) (200/1 +20%) Fernhill Fling |
200/1(+20%) | (3) Fernhill Fling 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 17 days ago. Mid-division in a Thurles bumper, no threat in two maiden hurdle outings; will need a mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23rd (13) (100/1 -150%) Supreme Authority |
100/1(-150%) | (13) Supreme Authority 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 14/1, ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy) 10 days ago. Two runs in recent weeks simply that he will struggle to make any impression here. |

24th (1) (250/1 +0%) Boston Bongo |
250/1(+0%) | (1) Boston Bongo 250/1, Modest maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. 28/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, heavy). Modest form in four outings on the Flat, has a good German Flat pedigree, best watched. |

25th (19) (80/1 -100%) Eire Comes Tribsy |
80/1(-100%) | (19) Eire Comes Tribsy 80/1, Promising type. 10/3, tenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) on NH debut. Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Mrs Lorna Fowler. Likely to improve. Ran poorly at Tipperary last May when well fancied on only start for his previous trainer. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
TULLYHILL looks to have found a good opportunity to open his account over hurdles. The Martaline gelding followed up an easy bumper win at Gowran last spring by finishing second to A Dream To Share in the Grade 1 Champion bumper at the Punchestown Festival. His jumping was far from polished when long odds-on for a maiden hurdle at the same venue on his reappearance in November and hopefully he will have improved since. The Great Unknown indicated ability when fifth to Jigoro in a 26-runner Navan maiden hurdle last month, while Lightkeeper was first past the post between the flags and represents Gordon Elliott. Master Otis was runner-up twice in bumpers and far from disgraced when switched to hurdles at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.
TULLYHILL had some smart form to his name in bumpers and rates a confident choice to build on his promising hurdling debut second at Punchestown and get off the mark in this sphere. The Great Unknown appeals as the one to chase home Willie Mullins' good prospect ahead of hurdling-newcomer Lightkeeper.
A talented bumper horse last season, TULLYHILL can atone for his unexpected defeat on hurdling debut.

4th (17) (8/1 +50%) Chosen Shant |
8/1(+50%) | (17) Chosen Shant 8/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. 50/1, 3 lengths third of 17 to Cristiano Marealdo in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 29 days ago, inadequate test. One to consider if taking part (engaged 3.20 Clonmel Thursday). Third here latest; going the right way for Ciaran Murphy and unlikely to be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (25/1 -25%) Bayou Belle |
25/1(-25%) | (3) Bayou Belle 25/1, Below form eighth of 15 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft) 26 days ago. More chance back in handicap. The best of her form gives her a squeak but could be coming into the race in better form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (16) (9/1 -125%) Be My Hero |
9/1(-125%) | (16) Be My Hero 9/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. Respectable fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17f, soft, 14/1) 17 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Engaged 3.20 Clonmel Thursday. Solid efforts last twice at Thurles and Down Royal and should be thereabouts on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (9/2 +50%) Joker Du Chenet |
9/2(+50%) | (11) Joker Du Chenet 9/2, Respectable seventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17f, soft, 10/1) 17 days ago. Stable in good form. One to consider. Ran okay in a Down Royal handicap last month; maybe better over further but should go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (8/1 -78%) Cristiano Marealdo |
8/1(-78%) | (8) Cristiano Marealdo 8/1, 1 win from 2 runs this season. Career best when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle (50/1) at this C&D (soft) 29 days ago, pushed out. 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing. Up 6lb for last month and the stable continued in terrific form over Christmas; big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (25/1 +11%) Silent Flight |
25/1(+11%) | (13) Silent Flight 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1, fourth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.8f, good to soft). Off 14 months. Betting should guide after lay-off. Fourth in a 2m contest at Thurles 14 months ago; off since but a contender if fit enough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (20/1 +39%) Astrophysicist |
20/1(+39%) | (6) Astrophysicist 20/1, Remains a maiden after 17 NH runs. Modest winner at 10f on flat. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (16f, 20/1) 44 days ago, hampered. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last chase run. Improved effort in a 1m4f handicap at Dundalk in November; form makes him more interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (2) (50/1 -52%) Breakintheclouds |
50/1(-52%) | (2) Breakintheclouds 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourteenth of 28 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 200/1) 17 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Not disgraced in two starts in maiden hurdles last month; could outrun his likely odds. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (18) (50/1 -52%) Masterstonemason |
50/1(-52%) | (18) Masterstonemason 50/1, Two wins from 42 NH runs. Pulled up in handicap chase (66/1) at Navan (20.4f, heavy) 26 days ago, struggling long way out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Back down in trip. Poor form over hurdles and fences for some time; makes no appeal here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (15) (14/1 -17%) Thelonglad |
14/1(-17%) | (15) Thelonglad 14/1, Tenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy, 12/1) 33 days ago. Others more persuasive. Cork fourth on handicap debut; stable in good form over Christmas and capable of a big run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (20) (16/1 -100%) O'faolains Glory |
16/1(-100%) | (20) O'faolains Glory 16/1, Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Thurles (15.9f, soft) 85 days ago. First run for yard after leaving N. Dooly. Debuts for Ian Donoghue here and has an each-way chance over possibly her best trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (4) (50/1 -52%) Boola Boola |
50/1(-52%) | (4) Boola Boola 50/1, 28/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy) 12 days ago, struggling when not fluent 3 out. Returned from five months off when pulled up in a Punchestown handicap hurdle last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (21) (50/1 -25%) Red Finch |
50/1(-25%) | (21) Red Finch 50/1, 14/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Listowel (24f, soft) 112 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Significantly down in trip. Back to 2m here after being pulled up over 3m at Listowel when last seen; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (1) (40/1 -43%) Moulane West |
40/1(-43%) | (1) Moulane West 40/1, One win from 21 NH runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 66/1, unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17f, soft) 17 days ago. First flight unseat at Down Royal a couple of weeks ago; makes little appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (10) (80/1 -186%) Without Exception |
80/1(-186%) | (10) Without Exception 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twenty first of 26 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Navan (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Little apparent chance on the evidence of four maiden hurdle outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (19) (66/1 -100%) Monoxide |
66/1(-100%) | (19) Monoxide 66/1, Remains a maiden after 34 NH runs. Sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (19.9f, heavy, 28/1) 47 days ago. Blinkers back on. Well beaten last twice over hurdles; not a forlorn hope if putting his best foot forward. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (12) (66/1 -136%) Keeptellinemnuttin |
66/1(-136%) | (12) Keeptellinemnuttin 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventeenth of 22 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy, 50/1) 12 days ago. Not much to recommend on the Flat and over hurdles; tailed off at Punchestown last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (9) (11/1 -22%) Sarah's Soldier |
11/1(-22%) | (9) Sarah's Soldier 11/1, Temperamental sort. Respectable ninth of 22 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy) 31 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Did not appear to see out 3m at Punchestown last month; big drop back in trip here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
QUORNOFAMONDAY was second in a point-to-point for Claire O'Connell and has progressed in handicap hurdles this season. The Philip Dempsey-trained gelding didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when a close third at Gowran before making costly mistakes at the final two flights when caught close home by Glenabo Bridge at Fairyhouse last time. Cristiano Marealdo caused a 50/1 shock over C&D last month and is taken to go well, while any market moves for Breakintheclouds or the long-time absentee Silent Flight would be interesting.
QUORNOFAMONDAY would surely have won with better jumps at the final 2 flights at Fairyhouse last time and can gain compensation now. Cristiano Marealdo rates an obvious danger on the back of last month's C&D success. Joker du Chenet is an unexposed sort who could yet have a bigger performance in him and also makes the shortlist. Chosen Shant would need considering if showing up here rather than at Clonmel on Thursday.
Preference is for QUORNOFAMONDAY, an improved performer on his last two starts, with the drop back to 2m likely to suit

6/1(-20%) | (4) American Money 6/1, 11/2, creditable fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.2f, heavy) 31 days ago. Merits respect. Could be better going right-handed but in decent form and should not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (16/1 -78%) Circus Act |
16/1(-78%) | (10) Circus Act 16/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, very good second of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (16f, 14/1) 44 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Blinkers on 1st time. Not dismissed. Back to form when runner-up in a Dundalk handicap in November; worth a look in blinkers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (10/1 -82%) Pride Of Place |
10/1(-82%) | (5) Pride Of Place 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, eighth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.8f, heavy) 33 days ago. Should improve and is worth monitoring in the betting. No impression on his handicap debut at Cork last month but could well be capable of better. |

4th (17) (13/2 +46%) Junot |
13/2(+46%) | (17) Junot 13/2, Creditable third of 15 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Naas (16f, soft) 29 days ago. Considered. Two good runs; good chance of getting into the frame here if suited by the step up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (12/1 -33%) Butty O Brien |
12/1(-33%) | (9) Butty O Brien 12/1, 14/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy) 26 days ago, rallying. Should give another good account. Gamely landed a handicap hurdle at Navan last month; up just 4lb for that; claims. |

6th (6) (15/2 +38%) Politicise |
15/2(+38%) | (6) Politicise 15/2, Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. Tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 21 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy, 66/1) 15 days ago.

33/1(-106%) | (8) Young Darleen 33/1, Below form fourth of 15 in novice hurdle (13/8) at Kilbeggan (18.3f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Hood on 1st time. Likely to need the run. Off since June; hooded here and probably best watched but worth a market check. |

7/1(+61%) | (18) Pana To Milan 7/1, 11/1, creditable fifth of 16 in handicap chase at Naas (16f, soft) 29 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Not taken lightly. Two good chase runs; same hurdles mark; could go well with trip and ground in her favour. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) (10/1 -67%) Crafty Gael |
10/1(-67%) | (11) Crafty Gael 10/1, 85/40, creditable third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.3f, good) 152 days ago. Enters calculations. Not really proven over the trip and probably best watched on his first outing since August. |

10th (3) (17/2 +58%) Elusive Guy |
17/2(+58%) | (3) Elusive Guy 17/2, Bit below form eighth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 16/1) 55 days ago. Couple of runs on Flat before mid-division in a Navan handicap hurdle; others preferred. |

13th (13) (100/1 -25%) Tony's Pet |
100/1(-25%) | (13) Tony's Pet 100/1, First run since leaving Barry Connell when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy, 40/1) 49 days ago, tailing off soon after 4 out. New headgear tried today but very hard to fancy on what he has shown so far. |

14th (7) (12/1 +40%) Grivei |
12/1(+40%) | (7) Grivei 12/1, Excellent ninth of 15 in novice hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy, 25/1) 15 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Very hard to make a case for. Hard to assess; first-time tongue-tie will need to bring about considerable improvement. |

15th (12) (150/1 -50%) Sundrenched |
150/1(-50%) | (12) Sundrenched 150/1, Tailed-off fifteenth of 16 to Butty O Brien in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, heavy, 125/1) 26 days ago. Others preferred. Ran terribly in two handicap hurdles last month and makes no appeal. |

33/1(+34%) | (1) I Don't Get It 33/1, 7/1, seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Down Royal (20f, soft) 17 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers back on. Out of form since coming back in November, including over fences at Down Royal last time. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
POLITICISE won the valuable Lartigue Hurdle at Listowel back in 2020 and held a career high rating in the mid-130s. The Camelot gelding is bidding to end a long losing run but has been placed on a number of occasions since including at the recent Leopardstown Christmas Festival when third to Music Of Tara. A reproduction of that form should see him go close. Butty O Brien just came out best in a tight finish at Navan last time while others to consider include American Money, Crafty Gael and Circus Act. Junot steps up in trip after being placed here just before Christmas while stablemate Pana To Milan reverts from fences and also has a significant jockey booking.
POPPY ROSE has returned in good heart and, while she couldn't quite justify strong support when second at Naas last time, she's worth a chance to go one better this time. Fellow in-form pair Crafty Gael and Butty O'Brien should also be involved.
A sporting selection is given to CIRCUS ACT, who returned to form in a Flat handicap at Dundalk in November and is tried in blinkers

9/2(+0%) | (9) Wartime Leader 9/2, Churchill gelding. Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to 2 winners, including bumper winner Kottayam. Dam smart winner up to 1¼m. Shouldn't lack for speed on debut if pedigree is a guide. Well-bred gelding that cost 200,000Gns as a yearling; very intriguing here. |

14/1(+22%) | (5) Kaikoura 14/1, €80,000 3-y-o, Beaumec De Houelle gelding. Half-brother to fairly useful 17f hurdle winner Invictus Machin. Makes appeal on paper. French-bred newcomer and bred to do well over further; attractive rider booking. |

8/1(+43%) | (6) King In Love 8/1, €14,000 3-y-o, Choeur Du Nord gelding. Dam maiden on Flat in France. Mostly Flat pedigree and best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

33/1(-50%) | (8) Squire Darlin 33/1, Workforce gelding. Dam (h93) ran twice over hurdles. Home-bred newcomer and likely to be suited by the ground; best watched on debut though. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SHUTTLE DIPLOMACY appeared to be well-fancied before this meeting was cancelled last Sunday and Patrick Mullins is again booked. The selection hails from a family that has produced Flat and jumps winners in France and the yard was in winning form at Cork last weekend. Wartime Leader fetched 200,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to three winners including Invite, who scored at Listed level. Colcannon is from a family that Noel Meade knows well having enjoyed success with the dam and also her sister Sixshooter, while Kelley Kapowski, a half-sister to a number of winners in Scandinavia and Italy, represents Gordon Elliott. Frogman and Paudie's Wings also attracted some betting interest last Sunday morning while Rose Boum represents the yard that won this last year.
A field of newcomers and before market clues it seems prudent to stick with KELLEY KAPOWSKI for the Gordon Elliott team. Shuttle Diplomacy and Kaikoura also make appeal on paper.
There is no more intriguing runner than expensively bought yearling WARTIME LEADER and he might just be good enough

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.
