1st (5) (10/3 +5%) Lecky Watson |
10/3(+5%) | (5) Lecky Watson 10/3, Useful winner at 23f over hurdles. 5/1, fifth of 7 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, good to soft), refusing to settle. Off 7 months.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (11) (8/15 +52%) Slade Steel |
8/15(+52%) | (11) Slade Steel 8/15, Point/bumper winner who made rapid progress over hurdles, running out a good winner of the Supreme at Cheltenham (16.4f) in March. Made a solid start to chasing career at Navan last month and will have learnt plenty from that. Supreme Novices' winner, beaten by the Martin Pipe winner on chase debut, can make amends. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (10/1 -25%) Blizzard Of Oz |
10/1(-25%) | (3) Blizzard Of Oz 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Fairly useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Creditable fourth of 17 in minor event hurdle (13/8) at Punchestown (19.3f, good to soft).

Entitled to build on that. Very useful 138-rated hurdler, held by Staffordshire Knot on the evidence of chasing debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (8/1 +0%) Staffordshire Knot |
8/1(+0%) | (12) Staffordshire Knot 8/1, Promising sort. Matched hurdles form at first time of asking in this sphere when second of 13 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.5f, good) 16 days ago.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (66/1 -65%) Ataboycharlie |
66/1(-65%) | (2) Ataboycharlie 66/1, Useful hurdler. Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 33/1, fifth of 12 in novice chase at Punchestown (18.9f, soft) on debut over fences 23 days ago, not knocked about. Open to progress.

16/1(-14%) | (10) Shanbally Kid 16/1, Useful hurdler. Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. 12/1, creditable third of 21 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (21f, heavy). Off 9 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Others more persuasive. 135-rated hurdler who finished third in last season's Coral Cup, inferior to Lecky Watson. |

250/1(-67%) | (13) Splashing Out 250/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 200/1, pulled up in novice chase at Navan (20.7f, soft) 9 days ago. Readily opposed. Solid performer over hurdles, yet to prove similarly effective in three runs over fences. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (250/1 -67%) Make The Plan |
250/1(-67%) | (7) Make The Plan 250/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Wexford (20f, heavy) 50 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Makes chase debut. Best watched. Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Wexford after a long absence, safe to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (250/1 +0%) Jeel Des Mottes |

Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Up against it. Showed ability on only chase start last season, soundly beaten in two starts in May/June. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SLADE STEEL ought to step forward from his runner-up spot on chasing debut at Navan. Last season's Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner was expected to make a winning transition to the bigger obstacles, but he was outgunned by a worthy opponent. There is improvement to come in his jumping and it may come here as he has enjoyed racing in Naas before. Lecky Watson kept very good company over flights and was only half a length behind Slade Steel in second in a Grade 2 at Navan last year, so has to be respected on his first crack at fences. Staffordshire Knot couldn't a blow on an easy winner in Fairyhouse, but there should be races to be won with him.
Supreme Novice Hurdle winner SLADE STEEL showed enough on his chase debut at Navan last month to suggest he can make his mark in this discipline. He looks the one to beat in the opener. Staffordshire Knot and Lecky Watson are feared most in what should prove an informative contest.
Supreme Novices' winner SLADE STEEL was mastered in a tactical battle on his chasing debut. He should go one better now

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (19) (5/1 +64%) Papa Barns |
5/1(+64%) | (19) Papa Barns 5/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. Creditable fifth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft, 13/2) 29 days ago, unable to sustain effort.

15/2(+0%) | (4) Rightfolksplease 15/2, Winner in hurdle at Downpatrick in June. 9/2, respectable sixth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. Enters calculations. Touched off over fences at Sligo in October, up 3lb, cheekpieces go on, could go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (10/3 +33%) Irish Impulse |
10/3(+33%) | (11) Irish Impulse 10/3, Made second chase start a winning one at Clonmel (20.8f) last month and backed that up when landing 19-runner handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.5f, soft, 15/2) 24 days ago. 7 lb higher, returned to the larger obstacles but another bold bid is on the cards. On a hat-trick, raised 9lb for his chase win at Clonmel, should be on the premises again. |

5th (16) (7/2 +71%) Chosen Shant |

50/1(-52%) | (15) Falcon Park 50/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Winner in chase at Wexford in July. Twelfth of 14 in handicap chase (12/1) at Wexford (19.4f, good to soft) 108 days ago.

10th (3) (16/1 -33%) Due Course |
16/1(-33%) | (3) Due Course 16/1, Highly promising type. Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 33/1, creditable eighth of 15 in novice chase at Clonmel (17.3f, soft) 13 days ago, not knocked about. May have more to offer on handicap chase debut. Point winner, 2-10 over timber, 0-3 over fences, handicap chase bow, others preferred. |

50/1(-150%) | (2) Whateys Quest 50/1, Fair winner at 19f over hurdles. Eleventh of 15 in novice chase at Clonmel (17.3f, soft, 100/1) 13 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Should improve. Handicap chase debutant, won over hurdles, well beaten the last twice, check the market. |

20/1(+39%) | (7) Poets Cottage 20/1, 50/1, tenth of 16 in novice chase at Gowran (20f, good) 37 days ago. Yard having good spell. Worth checking in market on handicap chase debut. Well beaten in two beginners chases, needs more on handicap chase debut. |

25/1(-79%) | (5) Marlpark 25/1, Winner in hurdle at Clonmel in October. Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Clonmel (16.4f, soft) 13 days ago. Warrants respect on chase debut. 1-9 over timber, chasing debutant, lack of experience over fences a concern, watch. |

|PU| (10) (33/1 -32%) Ricky Langford |
33/1(-32%) | (10) Ricky Langford 33/1, Moody sort. 18/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Thurles (18.3f, good to soft) 17 days ago, going off too hard. Needs a couple of these to falter. 3-30 over fences, beaten 27l at Thurles two weeks ago, down 1lb but others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (18) (80/1 +20%) Land Jet |
80/1(+20%) | (18) Land Jet 80/1, Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs. Fifteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Punchestown (23.8f, soft) 6 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Significantly back down in trip. Makes limited appeal. No win since 2021, 0-8 over fences, well beaten last four starts, hard to fancy. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
RIGHTFOLKSPLEASE has strong credentials for this race as, when last seen in this sphere, he was just pipped by a short head in a higher grade at Sligo in October. This drying ground will suit him well. Irish Impulse has struck form with a vengeance and has a shot at the hat-trick. He began his winning run over a further trip in a handicap chase at Clonmel and followed up in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m at Tipperary. Turbo will enjoy a return to this distance, while Ernie From Nurney's third over further in Wexford wasn't without merit. Due Course is unexposed over fences and, given the form of his stable, market support would be significant.
IRISH IMPULSE arrives in top form and may be capable of better over fences. He can score again. Ernie From Nurney and Rightfolksplease head the list of dangers.
MAHLERS COVE has run well on his last two visits to this track and he should come on plenty for his comeback run at Tipperary.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
French-recruit Karbau could be anything after winning by a wide margin on the level in his native country. He is the sole Closutton representative and the market is likely to revolve around him. An each-way chance is taken on BOWENSONFIRE who was the subject of a favourable report in a recent stable tour. He is expected to cut much more ice hurdling than he did in his sole bumper. Shuffle The Deck showed plenty of promise in third in a Punchestown maiden hurdle. Eastern Legend finished well behind Shuffle The Deck in fourth, but then finished a close second at Navan to strengthen the form. Henry de Bromhead introduces two point-to-point recruits in Quantum Quest and Pookie Holler who cannot be ruled out.
SHUFFLE THE DECK is given the chance to build on a promising effort at Punchestown last month, although a strong market move for Willie Mullins French bumper recruit Karbau would put a different slant on things. Quantum Quest cost a bit after placing in a point and is another interesting contender.
Willie Mullins has scored with several French recruits of late and AQPS winner KARBAU could be another one here

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
There isn't a lot of depth to this race and perhaps HEARTS AND SPADES can take advantage of that. He has one notable run in the book when fourth behind a more than useful horse in a Navan maiden hurdle. His rating of 105 entitles him to be heavily involved. Colonel Nelson is one to consider after banking fourth places on hurdle debut at Punchestown and in a bumper at Clonmel. Solsbury Hill ran a fair race in seventh over a shorter trip at this racecourse last month and he can improve upon that. There is likely more to come from Hills Of Glory, while Interchangeable could get in the mix.
COLONEL NELSON brings the most solid form to the table in a weak race and, although Interchangeable's latest effort would give him a chance, he's not certain to back it up. Hearts And Spades can also be considered but the market is likely to be informative overall.
COLONEL NELSON shaped okay on his hurdling debut at Punchestown and looks the most solid option stepping up in trip.

KAROLINE BANBOU is a fascinating runner on her first outing for Willie Mullins. The No Risk At All filly was a Grade 3 bumper winner in her native France and was last seen finishing second in Grade 1 company at Fontainebleau in November of last year. She could be a very smart addition to the Closutton team. Mullins has a strong hand as he also saddles Listed bumper winner Baby Kate. The daughter of Augusta Kate disappointed at Aintree and is better than that showing. Qualimita was turned over at a short price on her hurdling debut at Navan last month and needs to improve on that run.
BABY KATE failed to deliver when a strong favourite for a Grade 2 bumper in the spring but she looked good prior to that and she couldn't be in better hands now hurdling. She's awarded the vote but a case can definitely be made for Qualimita, Amboyna and Karoline Banbou (a stablemate of the selection).
Gordon Elliott's QUALIMITA shaped with plenty of promise at Navan last month. She will strip fitter now and should improve plenty.

O'FAOLAINS GLORY ran well in a competitive contest at Navan and a similar effort may be enough to get her on the scoresheet again. The Fame And Glory mare showed marked improvement on previous efforts when third to Love Me and, off just 2lb higher, looks to be on a rating that she can win off. She scored off this mark over fences at Downpatrick in May. Backfromtheraces ran well on her handicap debut when chasing home Inchiquin Star at Wexford in late October and could be a danger. Bishbashbosh is unexposed and might be one to note on her first outing for Ross O'Sullivan.
A case can be made for a few of these but NO BIG DEAL looks the way to go on the back of his promising Limerick fourth. Navan third O'Faolains Glory is next on the list with Petit Dejeuner, Backfromtheraces and Ghumama also in the picture.
A winner off an equivalent chase mark in May, O'FAOLAIN'S GLORY has solid claim on current hurdles form following a Navan third

Willie Mullins has a terrific strike-rate in bumpers and it would be no surprise if KARA DE THAIX made a winning start here. The Jeu St Eloi filly cost 26,000 euro as a store and is a half-sister to three winners in France, including a horse who was Grade 2-placed over fences. Romany Brown has a couple of nice runs under his belt and commands respect. He just lost out by a head over hurdles at Clonmel last month. Another track newcomer to note is point-to-point winner Scope To Improve. The Telescope gelding makes his first start for Henry de Bromhead having been an easy winner between the flags on his debut at Necarne in May.
SCOPE TO IMPROVE won his point in facile style and has joined a top yard, so a chance is taken on him to maintain his unbeaten record starting out under Rules. Kara de Thaix is of obvious interest on debut given her pedigree/connections and Ifallgoeswell, who was sent off 2/1 when brought down on debut, needs considering.
Second in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel, ROMANY BROWN has a fighting chance with the help of Evan Dwan's 7lb claim.
