1st (1) ![]() Bacchanalian |
7/2(-5%) | (1) Bacchanalian 7/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 10½ lengths sixth of 8 to Hello Neighbour in Spring Juvenile Hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good to soft, 66/1) 7 days ago. Should go well with sights lowered. Fairyhouse winner ran respectably in Grade 1 at the DRF last weekend; respected here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) ![]() Murcia |
7/2(-5%) | (3) Murcia 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler. 7/1, first run since leaving David Cottin when 22 lengths eighth of 10 to Hello Neighbour in juvenile hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good) on IRE NH debut 44 days ago. Possibly didn't handle quicker ground on Irish debut at Leopardstown; respected here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) ![]() Ephesus |
16/1(+36%) | (5) Ephesus 16/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. 11/1, 5½ lengths second of 14 to Castleheath in juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, soft) 26 days ago, running on. Good second at Punchestown, although was no match for Castleheath on the day; more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) ![]() Holy See |
6/4(+63%) | (6) Holy See 6/4, Fairly useful Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden. 2/1, second of 16 in juvenile hurdle at this course (15.9f, heavy) 13 days ago. Weighted to reverse form with Bacchanalian; stable won this last year; big chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) ![]() Kurasso Blue |
6/1(-200%) | (2) Kurasso Blue 6/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Won 10-runner juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft, 65/10) 147 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Y. Fouin. Probably the one to beat. Half-brother to French 2m3f chase winner Rhum Bleu; won on hurdles debut at Auteuil. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) ![]() Castleheath |
8/1(+0%) | (4) Castleheath 8/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Won 14-runner juvenile hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, soft, 12/1) 26 days ago by 5½ lengths from Ephesus, having run of race. Needs a couple of these to falter. Punchestown maiden hurdle winner handles soft but will need to progress again to win this. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) ![]() Mickey Cohen |
100/1(+0%) | (7) Mickey Cohen 100/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. 66/1, tenth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at this course (15.9f, heavy) 13 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Okay run on hurdles debut at Punchestown but was well behind Holy See at Naas latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
KURASSO BLUE looked a nice sort when winning on his jumping debut at Auteuil last September and Gordon Elliott mentioned him as a potential Triumph Hurdle contender in stable tours earlier in the season. The Masked Marvel gelding was a bit green on his first outing over hurdles but was nicely on top at the line and is open to plenty of improvement. Bacchanalian was a bit too keen for his own good in the Grade 1 at Leopardstown last weekend and may be capable of a bit better than that showing. He had Murcia a couple of places behind then and may be able to confirm placings.
KURASSO BLUE is an interesting new recruit for Gordon Elliott and gets the vote, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Bacchanalian ran as well as could be expected in the Grade 1 juvenile at Leopardstown last weekend and is second choice ahead of Murcia.
Bacchanalian was far from disgraced in a Grade 1 last weekend but HOLY SEE is weighted to reverse the form with that rival

1st (2) ![]() Scalpnagoon |
11/1(-214%) | (2) Scalpnagoon 11/1, Progressed again upped in trip when winning 7-runner maiden hurdle at Thurles (19.8f, good, 15/8) 20 days ago, driven out. Takes on stronger company here but may do better still. Can go well again after Thurles win but will have to prove effectiveness on softer ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) ![]() Koori Star |
13/8(+28%) | (4) Koori Star 13/8, Fairly useful hurdler who posted another good effort when fourth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, soft) 21 days ago. Obvious claims. Fourth of 19 at Navan (2m4f, soft) when last seen; Sam Ewing booked; respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) ![]() Coral River |
2/1(+43%) | (3) Coral River 2/1, Left hurdling debut form behind to win 10-runner maiden hurdle (11/2) at Gowran (16f, soft) 16 days ago. Open to further improvement, especially now tackling a longer trip. Good performance when last seen winning Gowran maiden hurdle and has claims again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) ![]() A Tipp For Gold |
7/2(+0%) | (1) A Tipp For Gold 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler who lost action when pulled up in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24.1f, good to soft) last week. Better judged on previous form. Won Listowel maiden hurdle (2m, soft) in September; big claims back in trip here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) ![]() Attaboyarchie |
9/1(+10%) | (5) Attaboyarchie 9/1, Maiden who showed improved form upped in trip when third of 8 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Fairyhouse (24f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Drop back in distance not sure to suit. 3rd in 3m Fairyhouse handicap hurdle 4 weeks ago; drop back in trip might be against him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) ![]() Stretchemout |
66/1(-136%) | (7) Stretchemout 66/1, Looks the type to do better in staying handicaps after this run. Point-to-point winner who shaped okay on rules debut but 17l behind Coral River latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) ![]() Hay Baby |
66/1(-267%) | (6) Hay Baby 66/1, €25,000 3-y-o, Doyen mare. Sister to fairly useful 2m hurdle winner Doyen Star, and closely related to fair hurdler Hophornbeam, stays 2½m, and half-sister to a winner. Successful on last of 3 starts in points (Dec 1). 5th foal; 25,000euros 3yo; won Ballindenisk point-to-point in December; market will guide. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CORAL RIVER may prove the answer in a tricky looking contest. The Ol' Man River gelding had some nice bumper form and improved significantly from his first outing over timber to win at Gowran Park 16 days ago. He was nicely on top late on then and going a bit further now should help. A Tipp For Gold sets the standard off his mark of 125. He is obviously none the worse after pulling up quickly at Leopardstown last weekend and is entitled to play a big part in this company. Scalpnagoon is improving with racing and opened his account at Thurles last month. He's another that has to be on the shortlist.
KOORI STAR has run well in a pair of well-contested handicaps on his last 2 outings and sets the standard back in novice company. Coral River appeals as the type to go on improving now tackling a longer trip and is second choice.
Declan Queally is in fine form this season and A TIPP FOR GOLD should take all the beating back down to a more suitable trip

1st (8) ![]() Lovely Hurling |
9/4(+10%) | (8) Lovely Hurling 9/4, Looked useful when winning 12-runner bumper at Wexford (20f, good to soft, 6/5) in May, easing clear. Shaped well over hurdles prior to that and makes plenty of appeal with progress expected. Well-supported winner of a 2m4f Wexford bumper last May, had a previous hurdles run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) ![]() Autoportrait |
9/4(+44%) | (1) Autoportrait 9/4, Fairly useful hurdler. 6/5, second of 11 in maiden at Cork (24f, soft) 22 days ago, running on. Down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Should go well again. Placed in three maiden hurdle outings at 2m-3m, this trip may prove close to his optimum. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) ![]() Jump Allen |
13/2(-63%) | (6) Jump Allen 13/2, Bumper winner. Stepped up on hurdle debut when fourth of 8 in maiden at Punchestown (22f, soft) 26 days ago. May do better again for top yard. Bumper winner, jumping flaws have been evident in his two races over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) ![]() Promontory |
50/1(+50%) | (12) Promontory 50/1, Fame And Glory gelding. Half-brother to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/very smart chaser Kildisart and useful hurdler/smart chaser The Big Breakaway, stays 31f. Belated debut at eight for a well-related gelding who carries well-known colours. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) ![]() Peaceinthevalley |
17/2(-42%) | (11) Peaceinthevalley 17/2, Failed to complete both starts in points but was leading when unseating rider at the last on the second occasion. Joined a good yard for his Rules career and it'll be very interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Unlucky at Ballindenisk last May, in control when unseating at the last, respected. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) ![]() Hitak |
28/1(-40%) | (4) Hitak 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Beaten 17 lengths when second of 17 in maiden (100/1) at Clonmel (16.9f, soft) on hurdles bow 24 days ago. More will be needed. Useful sort in points, clear second behind a very easy winner on hurdling debut at Clonmel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) ![]() Live To Laugh |
125/1(-525%) | (7) Live To Laugh 125/1, Third sole start in points (Oct 2024). The betting should help guide to expectations. Fair third in a maiden point at Tattersalls last October, has joined a leading stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) ![]() Jersey Des Brosses |
66/1(-100%) | (5) Jersey Des Brosses 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in maiden hurdle (16/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, soft) 23 days ago, faltering. Expensive buy has a great deal to prove now, flopped in bumpers, ordinary hurdles form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (15) ![]() Siege Ofjadotville |
250/1(-900%) | (15) Siege Ofjadotville 250/1, Distant third of 17 in maiden hurdle (80/1) at Clonmel (16.9f, soft) on debut 24 days ago. Very remote third behind a Willie Mullins-trained winner at Clonmel, needs to jump better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) ![]() Cardcounter |
12/1(-71%) | (3) Cardcounter 12/1, £50,000 3-y-o, Milan gelding. Brother to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser Marown, and half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Castle Rushen, stays 3m. Runner-up in a point in October. Interesting hurdle newcomer. Second in a maiden point at Curraghmore last October for Pat Doyle, could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (10) ![]() Native Dream |
66/1(+34%) | (10) Native Dream 66/1, Placed once from 3 starts in points in 2023. Likely outsider on hurdle debut. Ordinary form in three point-to-point starts in 2023, not an obvious contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) ![]() Big Mike |
12/1(+52%) | (2) Big Mike 12/1, Once-raced maiden. 25/1, seventh of 21 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) on NH debut 34 days ago. Should improve from last month's satisfactory hurdling debut over 2m at this venue. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) ![]() Midnight Eugene |
250/1(-67%) | (9) Midnight Eugene 250/1, 250/1, fourteenth of 19 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, soft) on NH debut 60 days ago. Completely tailed off on hurdling debut at Punchestown after a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) ![]() Retreat Archie |
200/1(-33%) | (13) Retreat Archie 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. Seventh of 15 in novice hurdle (250/1) at Down Royal (20.1f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 44 days ago. Made mistakes on hurdling debut at Down Royal, likely to need more experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RO| (14) ![]() Road To Home |
5/1(+33%) | (14) Road To Home 5/1, Won a Listowel bumper for Eugene O'Sullivan last summer. Joined Willie Mullins for his hurdle career. Paul Townend rides Jump Allen but this one still needs monitoring closely in the betting. Won a 2m4f bumper on good to yielding at Listowel last June, has joined Willie Mullins. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LOVELY HURLING looked like a smart sort when winning his bumper at Wexford last May and may be able to score now back over hurdles. The Walk In The Park gelding had made his debut over timber at Fairyhouse last March when running freely and fading a touch late on. He should have learned plenty from his bumper run when he was settled out the back early on. Autoportrait has been knocking on the door and looks an obvious danger. He has a mark of 117 now which sets the standard. Jump Allen looks to be the stable choice from the two Willie Mullins runners but would need to improve a bit on recent form.
LOVELY HURLING was impressive in a bumper last May. He'd also shaped quite well in a hurdle prior to that and could take a bit of stopping if fully primed after his break. Autoportrait is second choice ahead of Peaceinthevalley, who would have won a point last time but for a late unseat, and the Willie Mullins-trained Jump Allen.
Mouse Morris has tried the consistent AUTOPORTRAIT over 2m and 3m. Perhaps this trip at a stiff track will bring out the best in him

1st (10) ![]() Duke Of Leggagh |
11/1(-38%) | (10) Duke Of Leggagh 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on the Flat. Creditable 14 lengths third of 12 to Well Dressed in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 14 days ago. Has a 15lb pull in the weights with Well Dressed for 14l beating at Fairyhouse; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) ![]() Fairyland Opera |
9/1(-29%) | (9) Fairyland Opera 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 21 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) 34 days ago. Open to progress now handicapping. Bottomless ground possibly to blame for last run but fascinating contender on handicap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (12) ![]() Mercury Mission |
11/2(+8%) | (12) Mercury Mission 11/2, Creditable fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Punchestown (20.6f, heavy) 27 days ago, not ideally placed. Back down in trip and can make his presence felt. Best work late when 5th at Punchestown latest; this trip might be too sharp for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) ![]() Bynx |
40/1(-21%) | (8) Bynx 40/1, 50/1, sixth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft) 22 days ago. Back down in trip and she needs to raise her game. Both hurdle wins have come at Tramore; led for a long way at Cork but others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) ![]() Miss Gherkin |
11/1(+21%) | (6) Miss Gherkin 11/1, Good fifth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, good, 18/1) 49 days ago. Merits consideration. Fifth of 18 at Thurles off current mark in December, beaten 4.5l; each-way possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) ![]() Well Dressed |
2/1(+20%) | (1) Well Dressed 2/1, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle (6/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 14 days ago, easily. Expected to be bang there. Bolted up off 110 at Fairyhouse; much higher mark to contend with here but a big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) ![]() Doctor Churchill |
15/2(+6%) | (5) Doctor Churchill 15/2, First run since leaving C. W. J. Farrell when improved to win 17-runner handicap hurdle at this course (18.9f, heavy, 28/1) 34 days ago, kept up to work. This is more demanding. Won 17-runner handicap hurdle here by 8l; still well treated on pick of his old form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) ![]() Your Honor |
12/1(+52%) | (2) Your Honor 12/1, 33/1, fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Has work to do. This is easier than tough Doncaster assignment but he's still 5lb above last winning mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (11) ![]() The Truant |
28/1(-56%) | (11) The Truant 28/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, good to soft, 9/1). Switches from Flat to hurdles. Respectable on last hurdle run. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Might need this after a short break but he has won fresh before; monitor the betting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) ![]() Ballycallan King |
66/1(-164%) | (3) Ballycallan King 66/1, Fourth of 5 in minor event hurdle at Clonmel (16.9f, soft, 50/1) 24 days ago. Others more persuasive. Handicap hurdle winner off 108 at Limerick never involved over hurdles at Clonmel latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) ![]() Ragmans Corner |
10/3(+17%) | (4) Ragmans Corner 10/3, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, soft, 11/4) 26 days ago, easily. Possibilities. Career-high mark to contend with but is in rude health after impressive victory latest. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WELL DRESSED hacked up in Fairyhouse last month and there could be plenty more to come from her now that she has got off the mark. The handicapper raised her by 12lb, but she is a lightly-raced sort who will appreciate this trip and ground. She faces another couple of recent wide-margin winners in Ragmans Corner and Doctor Churchill who will also relish conditions. The former enjoyed himself in a qualified riders' handicap hurdle at Punchestown, while the latter made a very bright start to life with Patrick Hayes over further at this track. Mercury Mission is one for each-way players to home in on as his third in Cork and fifth at Punchestown give him prize-money claims.
The vote goes to WELL DRESSED, who opened her account in good style in a Fairyhouse handicap a fortnight ago and while this 12 lb higher mark won't be easy to overcome, she is nevertheless expected to rise to the challenge. Fairyland Opera is a likely improver now pitched into a handicap and she is second choice ahead of Ragmans Corner.
FAIRYLAND OPERA was just behind a 125-rated runner at Naas in November so the handicapper has been lenient on her here

1st (1) ![]() Eternal Echo |
16/5(-42%) | (1) Eternal Echo 16/5, Fascinating Rock gelding. Dam unraced. Highly respected on debut and interesting to see whether the market suggests he's the stable's first string. Wears hood. Not bred for this and hooded for debut, stablemate Apples Jane has strong pedigree claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) ![]() Apples Jane |
2/1(+100%) | (5) Apples Jane 2/1, Walk In The Park filly. Dam prolific Grade 1 winning hurdler at up to 3m. Interesting to see where he stands in the betting in relation to stablemate Eternal Echo. First foal out of the outstanding Apple's Jade, rider's claim will help her cause. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) ![]() Facile Ocean |
5/4(+69%) | (2) Facile Ocean 5/4, Affinisea gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler/chase winner Fascile Mode and 23f chase winner C'est Rien. Dam modest 2½m hurdle winner. One of 2 runners for the yard. Half-brother to useful stablemate Fascile Mode who won on debut, pick of stable's pair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) ![]() Shabra Diya |
11/1(+67%) | (4) Shabra Diya 11/1, Fifth of 8 in bumper at Navan (16f, soft, 33/1) on NH debut 21 days ago. Cheekpieces quickly reached for. The experience of his Navan introduction should help but unlikely to be good enough. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
APPLES JANE is really bred in the purple being by Walk In The Park out of the mighty mare Apple's Jade. Gordon Elliott knows what is required to win this race having landed three of the last five renewals and she looks the pick of his two runners. Tom Mullins also runs a pair of horses and his Facile Ocean is a half-brother to Fascile Mode who has won four times for the stable, including on debut in a bumper at Leopardstown. Elliott's Eternal Echo is worth a market check, while Anthony McCann's Shabra Diya would need to improve upon an opening fifth in a Navan bumper. There are winners in his pedigree, though, and he sports first-time cheekpieces.
With little worthwhile form to go on the market may well tale a tale. At this stage, ETERNAL ECHO is preferred to stablemate Apples Jane.
The 7lb allowance and her rider's claim are assets for APPLES JANE, the first foal out of the brilliant Apple's Jade

1st (1) ![]() Dinoblue |
11/10(+8%) | (1) Dinoblue 11/10, Very smart chaser. C&D winner. 4/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, below form 18½ lengths fourth of 9 to Solness in Paddy's Rewards Club Chase at Leopardstown (17f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Sort to bounce back. Smart mare, failed to win during a high-profile 2024 campaign, questions to answer now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) ![]() Allegorie De Vassy |
5/6(-15%) | (2) Allegorie De Vassy 5/6, Smart chaser. 5/4, improved to win 5-runner Grade 3 mares event at Fairyhouse (21.5f, soft) 38 days ago by 25 lengths from Limerick Lace, unchallenged. The one to beat. Inconsistent and more effective over further but won this last year, good chance of repeat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) ![]() Must Be Obeyed |
18/1(+28%) | (3) Must Be Obeyed 18/1, Fairly useful chaser. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (17.2f, soft) 28 days ago. Weak handicap form lately and not suited by the race conditions against the Mullins pair. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
An interesting clash between the two Willie Mullins representatives and slight preference is for DINOBLUE over this trip. Dinoblue has been mixing in higher grades and a stalking race could reap dividends. She won a Grade 3 chase on her last visit to this track in November 2023. Allegorie De Vassy has plenty to recommend her as she landed this contest last year and was very good off the front in a Grade 3 mares' chase at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. She has been mostly campaigned over further, though, and could potentially set the race up for Dinoblue. Must Be Obeyed has plenty to find at the weights and looks very much third choice.
ALLEGORIE DE VASSY impressed when going in at Fairyhouse last time and can prove too strong for stablemate Dinoblue in this Listed chase. Must Be Obeyed looks booked for third.
Last year's winner ALLEGORIE DE VASSY gets the vote to follow up a commanding victory at Fairyhouse

1st (9) ![]() Ryehill |
6/1(+57%) | (9) Ryehill 6/1, Winner in chase at Cork in April. 29¼ lengths fourth of 14 to Its On The Line in hunter chase at Punchestown (24.7f, soft, 22/1) in May.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ITS ON THE LINE could overturn Down Royal form with Big Interest on this slower ground. Its On The Line was beaten almost five lengths into second by Big Interest on better ground in the north, but is entitled to come on from that run which was his first for almost eight months. Last season, he won this race in addition to prestigious hunters' chases in Aintree and Punchestown. Big Interest is the younger pretender who is in good hands with Davy Christie, a renowned specialist in this discipline. There ought to be plenty more to come from him as he is very much unexposed. Arverne could get involved at a price and similar sentiments apply to Annamix.
A couple of the main fancies for the Cheltenham hunter do battle and ITS ON THE LINE can gain revenge on Big Interest from their Down Royal meeting. David Christie's charge is very promising and won't go down easily, while Ryehill has solid place claims.
A rematch of a Down Royal clash at Christmas can see ITS ON THE LINE (nap) confirm his credentials as the leading Irish hunter chaser
