13:00 Naas Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SLIP OF THE TONGUE was beaten long distances when last seen in April but remains a dark horse who should eventually outgrow his rating. Placed third to Teahupoo and Quilixios in a 2021 Grade 2 hurdle, he looked a work in progress last season, is suited by conditions and his rider claims 5lb. He wasn't beaten far in a 2022 Listed course hurdle by today's rival Highland Charge but is 7lb better off. Highland Charge debuts in handicap chases and while rated 8lb higher over hurdles, would ideally prefer a sounder surface. Gracchus De Balme's Listowel form was boosted by Uncle Phil winning the recent Dan Moore but he steps up in distance and hasn't run since September. In-form Kings Halo steps up markedly in grade while Spirit Of Legend contested a hot race last month and drops to handicap company racing from a fair rating. Coqolino was pulled up in testing conditions at Limerick during Christmas but had previously run well at Punchestown, although seems exposed. Cayd Boy is winless from nine chases and was well beaten recently.

KINGS HALO arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways off a still handy-looking mark. Joseph O'Brien's Gracchus de Balme still has better days ahead of him though in this sphere so rates a big threat, with Spirit of Legend appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Getting a minimum of 20lb from his opponents here KINGS HALO is worth a bet based on recent consistency

13:35 Naas Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NDAAWI was highly tried on the Flat when trained in England and has run consistently well in two hurdles. Rated 96 last year, he ran well at Leopardstown over Christmas (Evening's Empire finished ninth) and chased home a pair of previous winners at Fairyhouse recently. He seems to cope fine with testing conditions. Katakana won two French bumpers and finished second in another last year and while closely matched on her initial two runs with Irish maiden hurdle winner Kaleoson, won more easily on her third start. She is a keen-goer who retains a hood, although her tongue-tie is left off today. Dutch Gold's Flat form is closely matched with Mr Lincoln, while Charming Star was also capable, if quirky, on the Flat and is best watched.

NDAAWI improved on his hurdling debut form when third at Fairyhouse 2 weeks ago and his useful Flat efforts give hope for better still. Dutch Gold was also useful on the level so is an interesting hurdling debutant, as is French-bumper winner Katakana starting out for Henry de Bromhead.

Henry de Bromhead has an interesting recruit in Triumph Hurdle entry KATAKANA, winner of two of three starts in AQPS events in France

14:10 Naas Conditions Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ZARAK THE BRAVE was worryingly pulled up at halfway last October but encouragingly reappears following a small break and, on his day, the Galway Hurdle winner is a clear pick and is suited by conditions. Reported 'clinically abnormal' post-race at Tipperary, such summaries are cryptic by nature while today's race is run in honour of 32-years-young Limestone Lad, who was 'knocked' for a heart murmur as a youngster. Banntown Girl is a dependable handicapper who finished 7.25 lengths behind Jetara in a Listed hurdle in December, although should find an on-song selection too strong. 2021 Cheltenham festival winner Telmesomethinggirl reverted to hurdles for her recent reappearance but finished 11.5 lengths behind Jetara, when receiving 3lb, although can progress. Golden Joy, an Auteuil debut winner last April, was well held at Grade 3 level last month and needs to show more. Doyen Ta Win faces a tough task.

ZARAK THE BRAVE simply can't have been right last time. He's been given time to recover and if back to anywhere near the level he showed when winning the Galway Plate he'll surely provide Willie Mullins with a sixth win in this since 2016. Banntown Girl is perhaps the most likely to profit should the selection fail to deliver.

The defeat of ZARAK THE BRAVE at Tipperary was a huge shock, but he was found to be clinically abnormal. He should make amends now

14:45 Naas Novices Chase 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LETSBECLEARABOUTIT concedes 6lb but has smart recent form and is dependable. Twice placed fourth at Grade 1 level over hurdler, he finished third in the Drinmore Chase last month and might improve stepping up to this distance for the first time over fences. Embassy Gardens was impressive in winning on chase debut last month and while a fancy for the Cheltenham festival, today's race is stronger than at Punchestown. He could be high-class but nonetheless his top-level hurdling form was disappointing and has, in the past, raced too keenly. Meetingofthewaters is suited by conditions and while he is progressive, steps up in grade having won the Paddy Power Chase rated 130. Desertmore House was 32 lengths behind in the Paddy Power and while 15lb better off, would prefer better ground. Sandor Clegane's chase career has yet to ignite but is fitted with a tongue-tie, stays well and likes testing ground. Cool Survivor was beaten 23 lengths by Embassy Gardens last month.

Willie Mullins last took this Grade 3 novice with his high-class staying chaser Stattler and looks to have another bright prospect on his hands in the shape of EMBASSY GARDENS who really impressed when going in at the first time of asking over fences at Punchestown and can collect this before going onto better things. Stablemate Meetingofthewaters has more experience on his side and can also have a say, with Letsbeclearaboutit and Sandor Clegane the pick of the remainder.

The all-round concession of 6lb will not make this way but the trip may help to bring out the best in LETSBECLEARABOUTIT

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

ICARE DESBOIS beat better-fancied stablemate Lecky Watson in a Fairyhouse bumper and was absent for 19 months before disappointing when switched to hurdles here in November. He was coughing post-race and is much better judged on a subsequent third to King Of Kingsfield in a hot maiden hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas. The runner-up, Mirazur West, won easily at Fairyhouse on Wednesday. Butcher Hollow and Cleatus Poolaw have filled second spot behind useful sorts on both hurdle starts and rate obvious threats, while Nas Na Riogh also bids to go one better after beating all bar the selection's stable companion Dancing City over 2m4f at Navan.

ICARE DESBOIS took a marked step forward when third in a strong contest at Leopardstown a month ago and his bumper form gives him the scope for better still, so he's preferred to Nas Na Riogh, who is going the right way. Butcher Hollow is also of interest.

Bumper winner ICARE DESBOIS was close to his best when third in a Leopardstown maiden hurdle last time and should be good enough

15:45 Naas Handicap Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

American Money had PRIDE OF PLACE less than two lengths back in third when gaining a second career win over a similar trip here earlier this month. The Michael Hourigan-trained gelding wasn't helped by a mistake at the last and, on 6lb better terms, is fancied to reverse the places. The form of that race has been working out well since and the selection has scope for further improvement. Heliko Conti enters calculation on his second to Music Of Tara in a 21-runner 2m4f Leopardstown handicap last month and Conor Stone-Walsh claims a valuable 5lb. Big Debates reverts to hurdles on a competitive mark while Millstream Lady has won twice this season and again went close at Limerick last time.

PRIDE OF PLACE is taken to build on the promise of his recent course third and strike at the third time of asking in handicaps. Heliko Conti has recorded 2 cracking runner-up efforts since joining Paul Nolan and is second choice ahead of American Money, who had the selection behind him when winning here 16 days ago.

The selection is PRIDE OF PLACE(nap), who would have gone very close but for a bad error at the last here last time and should improve

16:20 Naas NH Flat Race 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JASMIN DE VAUX won a Loughanmore point-to-point in fine style last spring for Stuart Crawford and the half-brother to two winners has since joined the champion trainer, while Big Stage is another to consider from a top yard after also winning his only start between the flags. The son of Walk In The Park was purchased for 120,000 pounds soon after making all to win at Tinahely in November and the market will provide significant clues as to their relative merits. Master Otis has shown promise both in bumpers and over hurdles while point-to-point winner Glendaars Fortune made a bright start under Rules when third to Lady Bluebird over this trip at Punchestown. Remember'hesmine had Freemans Bay behind when runner-up at Limerick last month.

Point winners JASMIIN DE VAUX and Big Stage have both joined powerful stables and can be expected to dominate this, with marginal preference for the former. Rember'hesmine is the pick of those with bumper form.

Point winner JASMIN DE VAUX could be an exciting prospect after winning easily at Loughanmore in the spring

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.
