1st (9) (8/15 +21%) Rainbow Trail |
8/15(+21%) | (9) Rainbow Trail 8/15, Thrice-raced winner under Rules. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Second of 25 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Naas (15.6f, heavy) 27 days ago, running on. The one to beat. Bumper winner, sets the standard here based on second place in a 25-runner maiden at Naas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (16) (4/1 +0%) Well Dressed |
4/1(+0%) | (16) Well Dressed 4/1, Promising type. Fourth of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (15.6f, heavy, 22/1) 27 days ago. Should improve with that run under her belt and she's one to consider. Ability in two runs, may improve but appears held by Rainbow Trail on running at Naas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (7/2 -27%) Union Station |
7/2(-27%) | (10) Union Station 7/2, Promising type. 3/1, third of 9 in novice hurdle at Naas (19.1f, heavy) 42 days ago. Open to progress and should have a big role to play. Two third placings at Naas, initial run over 2m arguably better than second run at 2m3f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (80/1 -60%) Kinbara Hills |
80/1(-60%) | (5) Kinbara Hills 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. Last of 6 in novice hurdle (200/1) at this course (22.4f, heavy) 21 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. In good hands but has shown nothing so far, possible issues with his jumping. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (14/1 -17%) En Or |
14/1(-17%) | (4) En Or 14/1, Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. Saddle slipped when pulled up in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft, 25/1) 6 days ago, pulled up before third. Each-way shout judged on debut effort in this sphere. Four wins on Flat, pulled up with a slipped saddle at Down Royal last Sunday. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (33/1 -83%) One Night Standard |
33/1(-83%) | (14) One Night Standard 33/1, €40,000 3-y-o: £16,000 4-y-o. Half-sister to dual bumper winner Roc of Dundee, useful hurdler/smart chaser Ben Dundee, stayed 3m, and fair staying chaser Prince Dundee. Third sole start between the flags. Placed in a point, Keith Donoghue rides Union Station, worth a look for future reference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (11) (200/1 -33%) Arthur's Victory |
200/1(-33%) | (11) Arthur's Victory 200/1, Fair Flat winner. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 125/1, thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 18 days ago. 3-25 Flat, all three wins in Britain, soundly beaten on her first two runs over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 +0%) Muhtaluza |
16/1(+0%) | (7) Muhtaluza 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Thurles (15.6f, soft) 39 days ago. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Rainbow Trail. Has hinted at ability on his first two starts; second-string for Rainbow Trail's trainer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (80/1 +20%) Flier |
80/1(+20%) | (12) Flier 80/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f, 17/2) 64 days ago. Opposable on this hurdles debut. 15-race maiden on Flat, rated a modest 55, best watched on hurdling debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (13) (150/1 -50%) Mayos Vendangeur |
150/1(-50%) | (13) Mayos Vendangeur 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 50/1, thirteenth of 16 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 14 days ago. Will need to qualify for a handicap mark judged on her first two runs over hurdles.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (80/1 +20%) Chance Another One |
80/1(+20%) | (3) Chance Another One 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft, 100/1) 18 days ago. Point winner on good ground, Thurles sixth was step in the right direction, more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (150/1 -50%) Kinturk Jack |
150/1(-50%) | (6) Kinturk Jack 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 66/1, seventh of 8 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, heavy) on NH debut 34 days ago. Down in trip. 66-1, tailed off on belated debut in a 2m4f maiden at Punchestown last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (2) (200/1 -33%) Bruno From Mars |
200/1(-33%) | (2) Bruno From Mars 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under Rules. Last of 8 in bumper at Limerick (16.2f, heavy, 100/1) on bumper debut 13 days ago, refusing to settle. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Raced too keenly maiden hurdle, last of eight in a bumper, safe to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (50/1 -257%) Rock On Dolly |
50/1(-257%) | (15) Rock On Dolly 50/1, Mount Nelson mare. Dam ran twice over hurdles. Interesting to see which way she goes in the betting. Dam showed little, from family associated with stamina, one of three here for the stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (8) (200/1 -33%) Nelsoria |
200/1(-33%) | (8) Nelsoria 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, fourteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 14 days ago. Always back when sent off at three-figures odds on debut at Gowran a fortnight ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (1) (200/1 -33%) Ask Berlioz |
200/1(-33%) | (1) Ask Berlioz 200/1, Twice-raced maiden under Rules. 125/1, last of 8 in bumper at Ballinrobe (17.4f, soft) on bumper debut. Off 11 months. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Has run only twice, showed nothing in a bumper in 2022 and a maiden hurdle last year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
RAINBOW TRAIL won a bumper on testing ground at Clonmel back in November and gets the vote to open his account over hurdles following a promising effort in a 25-runner Naas maiden last month. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding beat all bar the well-regarded Tounsivator, with Well Dressed about ten lengths behind in fourth. Union Station shaped well on debut when third to Tullyhill in a 25-runner 2m Naas maiden and was again placed on his only subsequent start over three furlongs extra last month. En Or won over 1m6f on the Flat at Fairyhouse last summer and also showed promise over hurdles at Punchestown. It's best to put a line through his latest hurdle run at Down Royal last Sunday where he was pulled up early due to a slipped saddle.
RAINBOW TRAIL left his hurdles debut form well behind when chasing home one form the Willie Mullins yard in a big field at Naas last month. He is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of Union Station, who has shaped well in a couple of maiden hurdles and he should pick up a race sooner rather than later. Well Dressed was behind Rainbow Trail at Naas but she's open to improvement and is likely to finish closer this time.
This should be relatively straightforward for RAINBOW TRAIL who has the beating of promising mare Well Dressed on Naas running

1st (3) (33/1 -106%) Influential Lady |
33/1(-106%) | (3) Influential Lady 33/1, Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in July. 15/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, soft) 148 days ago. Significantly down in trip. 4-time winner over hurdles but prefers further on quicker ground; off 148 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (5/6 +31%) Instant Tendance |
5/6(+31%) | (1) Instant Tendance 5/6, Fair in bumpers and continued theme of race-by-race progress over hurdles when winning 12-runner novice hurdle (4/6) at this course (16f, heavy) 21 days ago, driven clear. In excellent hands and feasible to think she could yet do better now handicapping. Didn't need to improve to win over C&D latest; won with plenty in hand; fair opening mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (7/2 +50%) Circus Act |
7/2(+50%) | (4) Circus Act 7/2, Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy, 9/1) 19 days ago, dropping away gradually. Not out of things dropping back to the minimum trip. Sole win came in maiden at Hereford last year; beaten 20l latest; prefers better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (18/1 +36%) Sidiriya |
18/1(+36%) | (5) Sidiriya 18/1, Lightly-raced useful 1½m winner on the Flat for D. K. Weld. Only one standout effort over hurdles for present stable since last summer and bit to prove having been pulled up when last seen at Leopardstown in December. Showed ability on Flat for Dermot Weld but seems to have lost her way; hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (7/2 -27%) Purse Price |
7/2(-27%) | (2) Purse Price 7/2, Winner in hurdle at Thurles (15.6f) in January. Good second of 7 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 20 days ago, ridden between last 2 and keeping on. Should give another good account returned to handicaps. Unlucky to be just 1-15 under rules; good run at Leopardstown latest; may want bit further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (12/1 -200%) Pinky |
12/1(-200%) | (6) Pinky 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, fourteenth of 25 in novice hurdle at Naas (15.6f, heavy) 27 days ago. Looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind and a market move would look significant representing shrewd stable. Showed ability in a bumper on debut but tailed off in 4 starts since; h'cap debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand here and riding arrangements suggest INSTANT TENDANCE is preferred. The daughter of Joshua Tree was placed both over hurdles and bumpers this season before landing the odds here earlier this month when drawing clear in the closing stages to take a mares' maiden. Purse Price ended a frustrating run of places in style when easily scoring at Thurles in January and probably put up a career best last time when second to Blizzard Of Oz at Leopardstown. Circus Act was just denied by American Money in an 18-runner Naas handicap this year, while Influential Lady gained a fifth career win at Ballinrobe last summer but may struggle on this ground after a winter break.
An open-looking mares' handicap with a chance taken on CIRCUS ACT. James Nash's 5-y-o went with plenty of zest for a long way when fourth at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago, and with the drop back in trip holding no fears, she's fancied to go well. Instant Tendance and Purse Price rate dangers for the Gordon Elliott yard, whilst Pinky demands a market check on her handicap bow.
There should be more to come from INSTANT TENDANCE after a recent C&D win and a mark of 116 looks workable

1st (5) (9/2 -100%) Iceberg Theory |
9/2(-100%) | (5) Iceberg Theory 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Respectable third of 10 in novice hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy, 2/1) 85 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Placed in 3 maiden hurdles this term and some of that form working out; cheekpieces on. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (15/2 +53%) Karacole |
15/2(+53%) | (8) Karacole 15/2, Fair hurdler. 9 lengths sixth of 8 to Bioluminescence in Shannon Spray Mares Novices' Hurdle at Limerick (22.3f, heavy, 66/1) 13 days ago. Improved for step up to 2m6f latest but still needs more here; drops to 2m4f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (3/1 +25%) Fameaftertheglory |
3/1(+25%) | (3) Fameaftertheglory 3/1, Unreliable individual. 10/1, creditable third of 10 in minor event chase at Punchestown (24.6f, soft) 47 days ago, going in snatches. Switches from chase to hurdles. No wins under rules since 2021 but a recent point win to his name; may need further. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (5/1 +29%) Howdoyalikeherhome |
5/1(+29%) | (4) Howdoyalikeherhome 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 4/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Naas (19f, heavy) 13 days ago. Unlikely to be far away. 2nd in December Naas maiden hurdle; good runs in defeat inc' h'cap bow latest; bit to find. |

5th (6) (6/4 +8%) Lightkeeper |
6/4(+8%) | (6) Lightkeeper 6/4, Fair form. Respectable fourth of 20 in maiden hurdle (4/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 6 days ago. Longer trip should suit. Leading claims for top yard. 2nd to Tullyhill and Mercurey in maiden hurdles earlier in season; further should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (40/1 -264%) Splendid Choice |
40/1(-264%) | (7) Splendid Choice 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fifth of 8 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Punchestown (19.8f, heavy) 34 days ago, not knocked about. Hood on 1st time. Struggled first 3 runs but showed more when beaten 10l latest; bit to find but e/w chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LIGHTKEEPER was first past the post in a point-to-point last spring and has proved consistent since sent over hurdles this year. The Walk In The Park gelding filled the runner-up spot behind hotpots Tullyhill and Mercurey at Naas and Punchestown respectively and should be suited by this step up in trip after staying on into fourth at Down Royal last Sunday. Iceberg Theory was third on debut behind The Yellow Clay in a Leopardstown bumper and also made the frame in all three maiden hurdle starts including behind Black Bamboo at Cork. Fameaftertheglory won two point-to-points and a bumper but has proved frustrating to date over hurdles, while Howdoyalikeherhome reverts to maiden company after two placed efforts in handicaps.
LIGHTKEEPER could have more to offer over this trip so he gets the nod for the Gordon Elliott/Jack Kennedy combination. Iceberg Theory and Howdoyalikeherhome can give the selection most to think about in that order.
This can go the way of LIGHTKEEPER (nap) who's kept some smart company this season and he's shaped like he'll relish a step up in trip

1st (2) (10/11 -25%) Chapeau De Soleil |
10/11(-25%) | (2) Chapeau De Soleil 10/11, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 17 lengths sixth of 7 to Readin Tommy Wrong in Lawlor's of Naas Novices' Hurdle at Naas (20f, soft, 11/1) 71 days ago. Stable in good form. Likely to improve. Let down by his jumping in a Grade 1 contest at Naas, a good opportunity to redeem himself. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/11 +34%) Twoohthree |
10/11(+34%) | (3) Twoohthree 10/11, Promising points scorer who also won 7-runner novice hurdle (7/1) at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) on NH debut 19 days ago, cruising clear. Will take the beating. Point winner, runaway scorer at Leopardstown on hurdling debut, could be progressive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (20/1 -150%) Binge Worthy |
20/1(-150%) | (1) Binge Worthy 20/1, Thrice-raced winner under NH rules. Winner in hurdle at Limerick in December. Last of 4 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy, 5/2) 59 days ago so more is needed. Fairyhouse run was too bad to be true, jumped poorly, Jack Kennedy rides Twoohthree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (125/1 -400%) Miss Vivacious |
125/1(-400%) | (4) Miss Vivacious 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 33/1, very good fifth of 12 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip with lots to find here though. Around 20l fifth in an ordinary 2m maiden here three weeks ago, tough task against winners. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CHAPEAU DE SOLEIL jumped poorly early on in Grade 1 company last time and this drop in class could help his confidence now. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding, tenth in the Champion Bumper last season, had been a good winner on his hurdling bow at Clonmel in December but made a couple of serious errors early on in the Lawlor's Of Naas Novice Hurdle and made little impression after. He is better than that and this looks an ideal race for him now. Twoohthree was impressive on his 'track' debut at Leopardstown earlier in the month but the front two went very hard then and the race fell apart a bit. He is still clearly a talented sort though and represents the obvious danger. His stablemate Binge Worthy looks most likely to fill the places.
TWOOHTHREE looked a good propsect when going in at the first time of asking at Leopardstown at the start of the month and Gordon Elliott's point winner can follow up. Chapeau de Soleil has better days ahead of him too and can chase him home ahead of Binge Worthy.
An untidy round of jumping meant that CHAPEAU DE SOLEIL was eclipsed in a Grade 1 contest at Naas. He can make amends now

1st (6) (7/1 +22%) Bushmans Pass |
7/1(+22%) | (6) Bushmans Pass 7/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in January. 7/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap chase at Gowran (20f, heavy) 35 days ago. Drop to 2m4f may not have been ideal last time after two wins over further, should stay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (3/1 +57%) Ask Anything |
3/1(+57%) | (5) Ask Anything 3/1, Hurdles winner who matched form in that sphere when landing Down Royal maiden (20f) in December. Not in same form when fourth of 8 in rated novice chase back at that venue (16.5f) in January but this marked step up in trip a likely plus now handicapping. Progressing along the right lines until dropped in distance last time, this should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (20/1 -43%) The Gradual Slope |
20/1(-43%) | (8) The Gradual Slope 20/1, Fairly useful winner at 18f over hurdles. 8/1, respectable second of 8 in handicap chase at Limerick (17.5f, heavy) 13 days ago, that despite being badly hampered 2 out. Significantly back up in trip. Badly hampered two out when 13l second of four finishers at Limerick in his first handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (4/1 -14%) Battle It Out |
4/1(-14%) | (1) Battle It Out 4/1, 6/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Naas (20f, heavy) 27 days ago, staying on strongly over the longest trip he's faced to date over fences. Of interest once more now stamina is tested further. Raised 11lb for Naas win over 2m4f, test of stamina could bring about more improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (17/2 +15%) Brucejack |
17/2(+15%) | (10) Brucejack 17/2, 7/2, creditable second of 12 in novice chase at Thurles (20.8f, soft) 18 days ago. Longer trip could unlock a little more improvement now handicapping in this sphere. Second in an ordinary contest at Thurles last time, this looks demanding on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (14/1 +58%) Malton Groove |
14/1(+58%) | (11) Malton Groove 14/1, 28/1 and hooded for 1st time, respectable fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Thurles (20.6f, soft) 18 days ago, running on late. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut. Fair hurdles run last time, only 2lb out of the handicap but hard to make a strong case. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (6/1 -167%) Paul Marvel |
6/1(-167%) | (3) Paul Marvel 6/1, Promising type. Very good second of 10 in novice chase at Leopardstown (17f, heavy, 18/1) 19 days ago, closing all way to line. Stable in good form. Makes handicap chase debut. Should go well again. Second to a Paul Townend-ridden stablemate at Leopardstown, good chance for champion now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (6/1 +0%) Verdant Place |
6/1(+0%) | (9) Verdant Place 6/1, Fairly useful winner at 3m over hurdles. Pulled up in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21.2f, heavy, 7/2) 59 days ago, won by Bushmans Pass. Others more persuasive. Two disappointing handicap displays, possible excuse both times, premature to write off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (14/1 -40%) Clonmeen |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Clonmeen 14/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this season. 10/1, creditable third of 15 in handicap chase at Punchestown (27f, heavy) 34 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Up 18lb aggregate for two wins, third over a longer trip on latest, could be in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (28/1 -75%) Folcano |
28/1(-75%) | (2) Folcano 28/1, Useful handicap hurdler who showed promise on each of his first 2 starts over fences during 2022. Absent since finishing down the field in a Gowran maiden (20f, heavy) 16 months ago so interesting what the market makes of him on belated return/handicap debut. First two 2022 chase attempts were respectable, below best on third run, absent since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A really competitive race and ASK ANYTHING gets the vote. Gavin Cromwell's charge had looked like a real stayer in the making when winning his maiden hurdle in testing conditions at Limerick in October and can come into his own now tackling this trip. He was a game winner over two-and-a-half miles on the middle of his three chase starts and the minimum trip looked too sharp last time back at Down Royal. Paul Marvel is another taking a big step up in distance now having chased home stablemate Horantzau D'airy at Leopardstown last time. He still looks relatively unexposed and could be a danger. Top-weight Battle It Out went up 11lb for his easy win at Naas last time and going a bit further then seemed to help him. He has to be on the shortlist despite his hike.
A low-mileage winner over hurdles, PAUL MARVEL continued his theme of race-by-race progress over fences when runner-up at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago, and with the prospect of even more to come now handicapping over this markedly longer trip, he could be the answer. Battle It Out, who was impressive when successful at Naas 4 weeks ago, rates the chief threat, with Ask Anything and Bushmans Pass completing the shortlist.
A drop in trip may not have suited ASK ANYTHING last time, and this test of stamina could help to bring out the best in him

Hood back on. Shortlist material. Arrives on the back of a career best when 2nd but 3lb rise doesn't help; must jump better. |

Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Fairyhouse (21.2f, heavy, 15/2) 59 days ago, every chance 3 out and weakening. Worth a another try at this shorter trip. 0-4 over fences; beaten 19l on h'cap debut; chase mark looks harsh; others more convincing. |

|PU| (6) (4/1 +27%) Noble Blue |
4/1(+27%) | (6) Noble Blue 4/1, Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap chase at Gowran (20f, heavy, 9/2) 35 days ago, likely to have finished but for a late error. Remains low mileage and he's not out of things dropping back in trip. Some promising runs since switching to fences; below form when 5th on h'cap debut latest. |

|PU| (5) (14/1 +13%) Bigz Belief |
14/1(+13%) | (5) Bigz Belief 14/1, Fair winner at 18f over hurdles. Fifth of 6 in novice chase at Gowran (20f, heavy, 100/1) 35 days ago. Blinkers back on. Makes handicap chase debut. Has shown nothing in 2 starts over fences and tendency to jump right won't help. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
DUTCH SCHULTZ ran well on his first outing in handicap company over fences at Clonmel last month and looks capable of striking now. The Golden Horn gelding chased home Mick Charlie then and that form looks solid with the first four home coming into the race off the back of good efforts. Hardwired brings winning form into the race, having scored at Punchestown last time. He's not the most straightforward but should be there or thereabouts again. De Lady In Red hasn't been far away in her last couple of runs and looks capable of going well. She wasn't helped by stumbling going to the second last at Fairyhouse last time and remains relatively unexposed over fences.
DUTCH SCHULTZ ran his best race yet in this sphere when runner-up on his handicap debut at Clonmel 37 days ago and he could just be worth chancing to back that up now and go one place better. Hardwired, who is enjoying a good spell, is feared, with De Lady In Red and Noble Blue also considered.
It may be worth taking a chance on JOKE DANCER who ran with promise on yard debut last month and his subsequent fall is worth forgiving

MYWAYOFTHINKIN can do his bit for the family here after two of his siblings won at Cheltenham recently. The Flemensfirth gelding, a half-brother to Limerick Lace and Inothewayurthinkin, ran a lovely race on his debut when chasing home Goldinthemountains at Leopardstown over Christmas and can build on that. Masterboy Davis was narrowly edged out on his 'track' debut at Punchestown last month and looks like an obvious danger. Patrick Mullins rides Harbour Highway for his cousin Emmet and he's one to note in the market. The Youmzain gelding was a good winner of his point-to-point at Bartlemy last May.
MYWAYOFTHINKIN made a positive start when runner-up at Leopardstown almost 3 months ago and the third has scored since, so he's worth a chance to go one better at the possible expense of points winner Harbour Highway. Masterboy Davis is open to improvement and worthy of consideration, too.
MASTERBOY DAVIS' Punchestown form received a major boost at the Festival last week and he may be hard to beat with improvement likely

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.
