---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (5) (2/1 -45%) Spread Boss Ted |
2/1(-45%) | (5) Spread Boss Ted 2/1, Highly promising sort. Off 16 months, travelled well long way when sixth of 14 in maiden at Naas (18.9f, soft) on hurdles bow 35 days ago. Has plenty of scope to improve, possibly considerably so. Should improve a good deal for his Naas run and likely to go a good deal closer here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (5/4 +17%) Teuchters Glory |
5/4(+17%) | (6) Teuchters Glory 5/4, Fairly useful hurdler. 8/1, creditable second of 24 in maiden at Cork (16.8f, heavy) 7 days ago. Sets the standard. Runner-up over 2m1f at Cork last week; best at this trip and likely to take the beating. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2/1 +33%) Lucky Lyreen |
2/1(+33%) | (3) Lucky Lyreen 2/1, Useful bumper winner. Off 8 months, fourth of 16 in maiden at this course (20f, heavy, 12/1) on hurdles bow 29 days ago, running on. Open to improvement. Drop back in trip a possible negative but respected in a race with such little depth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (40/1 -186%) Lady Bresil |
40/1(-186%) | (7) Lady Bresil 40/1, 2/1, tenth of 11 in bumper at Punchestown (18f, heavy, 2/1) on NH debut last December but the fact she went off at such a short price suggests she's thought capable of better. Switches to hurdles on return. Flopped on debut; likely best watched on her hurdles bow but one to watch with interest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (125/1 -89%) Party Pack |
125/1(-89%) | (4) Party Pack 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, seventeenth of 25 in novice hurdle at this C&D (heavy) 8 days ago. Soundly beaten in a pair of maiden hurdles at Tramore and here; hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (150/1 -50%) Lispopple |
150/1(-50%) | (2) Lispopple 150/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, sixth of 8 in bumper at Tramore (16.2f, soft) on bumper debut 19 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Down the field in a maiden hurdle here and a Tramore bumper; makes little appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (150/1 -50%) Kilbride Hill |
150/1(-50%) | (1) Kilbride Hill 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Fell in novice hurdle (150/1) at Listowel (16f, good) on NH debut. Off 15 months. Best watched on his return from 15 months off. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
TEUCHTERS GLORY, who defeated Lucky Lyreen in a Limerick bumper earlier in the year, sets the standard with an official rating of 125. The son of Fame And Glory is expected to build on a promising second at Cork and open his account over hurdles, although the aforementioned looks a big danger for his leading yard. Spread Boss Ted weakened late on over 2m3f at Naas last time, but he could fare better now dropped in trip.
SPREAD BOSS TED could come on plenty for last month's comeback run at Naas and is taken to improve past the more-established Teuchters Glory. Lucky Lyreen is open to progress on the back of his hurdle debut fourth over a longer trip here and should also have a say.
Preference is for dual bumper winner TEUCHTERS GLORY whose maiden form is the most solid on show and he can take the beating

Marlpark |
(4) (100/1 -100%)100/1(-100%) | (4) Marlpark 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 6 in bumper (18/1) at Listowel (16f, soft) on NH debut 85 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Last of six in a Listowel bumper in September and makes little appeal on his hurdles debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (2) (9/4 -295%) Dancing City |
9/4(-295%) | (2) Dancing City 9/4, Promising individual. Very useful in bumpers. Fifth of 16 in C&D maiden (heavy, 11/4) on hurdles bow 29 days ago. Has the potential for significant improvement. Likely to come on a good bit for last month's debut; should be a more potent factor here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/1 +9%) Nas Na Riogh |
5/1(+9%) | (5) Nas Na Riogh 5/1, Promising type. Point winner. Fourth of 15 in maiden hurdle (10/3) at Down Royal (22.5f, soft) on NH debut 37 days ago. Open to improvement. More needed here than at Down Royal but likely to take another forward step back in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (12/1 +0%) Park The Giant |
12/1(+0%) | (7) Park The Giant 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, fifth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft) 35 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Solid in a good class 2m3f maiden hurdle at Naas last month; could get into the shake-up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (11/1 -57%) Find A Fortune |
11/1(-57%) | (3) Find A Fortune 11/1, Third in sole point. Remote third of 8 in bumper at Clonmel (18.5f, heavy, 5/4) on NH debut in March. Could prove a different proposition now hurdling on return. Very surprising if he was not considerably better than Clonmel and respected here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (4/5 +77%) Slanagaibhgoleir |
4/5(+77%) | (8) Slanagaibhgoleir 4/5, Promising individual. Third of 22 in maiden hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy, 11/4) in January. Up in trip on return. There's more to come from him. Looks an opportunity if forward enough to do himself justice and could be the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (150/1 -50%) The Nagger Reidy |
150/1(-50%) | (9) The Nagger Reidy 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, thirteenth of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft) 35 days ago. Poor run at Naas last time after promising Sligo debut; others look much more likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (250/1 -150%) Tankardstown Diva |
250/1(-150%) | (10) Tankardstown Diva 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourteenth of 26 in novice hurdle at this course (16f, heavy, 150/1) 8 days ago. Back up in trip. Ran okay in a couple of bumpers in the sutumn; well beaten though in two maiden hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (250/1 -150%) Thecornerbar |
250/1(-150%) | (11) Thecornerbar 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, twenty third of 24 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. Stable having good spell. Soundly beaten in a pair of maiden hurdles and hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (300/1 -200%) Corballis Flyer |
300/1(-200%) | (1) Corballis Flyer 300/1, Once-raced maiden over hurdles. Twenty second of 24 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.8f, heavy, 250/1) on NH debut 7 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Tailed off on his hurdles debut at Cork last week and makes no appeal; tried in a hood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (6) (125/1 -89%) No Turn Unstoned |
125/1(-89%) | (6) No Turn Unstoned 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Ninth of 16 in maiden over C&D (heavy, 200/1) 29 days ago. Possibly more one for handicaps. Bumper and maiden hurdle form to date of the very modest variety; hard to fancy here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Gordon Elliott saddles four here, of which Find A Fortune would appear to be his main hope judged on jockey bookings, but Willie Mullins landed this prize last year and is fancied to do so once again with DANCING CITY. The Wexford bumper winner was far from disgraced on his hurdling bow last month, having been well supported, so it would come as no surprise to see an improved performance with that experience under his belt. Nas Na Riogh is also noted.
DANCING CITY's bumper ability provides him with the scope for significant improvement on the back of last month's C&D hurdle debut fifth and he's preferred to Slanagaibhgoleir and Henry de Bromhead's Nas Na Riogh.
Preference is for SLANAGAIBHGOLEIR, slightly disappointing on his second start at Punchestown in January but this rates an opportunity

1st (6) (3/1 -20%) Harvard Guy |
3/1(-20%) | (6) Harvard Guy 3/1, 1 win from 1 run this season. Career best when winning 17-runner handicap hurdle at this C&D (heavy, 7/1) 29 days ago, driven out. Open to improvement. Up 10lb for his C&D win last month; has untapped potential and could be a big player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 +36%) Lord Erskine |
7/1(+36%) | (7) Lord Erskine 7/1, Course winner. 10/1, creditable third of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (19.9f, soft) 35 days ago. Not taken lightly. Good third in a Listed handicap at Naas last month; still a solid performer at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (22/1 -144%) Natural Look |
22/1(-144%) | (11) Natural Look 22/1, Fairly useful winner at 22f in chases. 5/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy) 49 days ago, well on top finish. Switches from chase to hurdles and one to consider. Deserved success in a 2m6f handicap chase at Galway in October; capable of a big run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (12) (9/2 +68%) Talk In The Park |
9/2(+68%) | (12) Talk In The Park 9/2, 16/1, respectable sixth of 22 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 35 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Respected. Handicapper would not appear to have taken many chances; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/1 +7%) Carnfunnock |
7/1(+7%) | (5) Carnfunnock 7/1, 5/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (18.9f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Needs considering. Good return to action when a staying third in a Haydock handicap hurdle last month; claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (10) (50/1 -127%) Your Honor |
50/1(-127%) | (10) Your Honor 50/1, 50/1, 26 lengths fifth of 6 to What's Up Darling in For Auction Novices' Hurdle at this course (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Can give a good account. Has come up short in novice company and handicap company; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (28/1 -155%) Miss Tempo |
28/1(-155%) | (8) Miss Tempo 28/1, 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Tipperary in May. Below form fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (11/1) at this course (22f, heavy) 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Still debatable whether the handicapper has her measure but looks best watched for now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (3/1 -9%) Shannon Royale |
3/1(-9%) | (3) Shannon Royale 3/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 5-runner novice hurdle at Punchestown (22f, soft, 4/1) 21 days ago, easily. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Big shout. Punchestown maiden winner could have a lot more to offer on his handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (18/1 -80%) Rioga Choice |
18/1(-80%) | (4) Rioga Choice 18/1, 11 lengths fifth of 6 to Hispanic Moon in listed mares event at Punchestown (18.2f, soft, 15/2) 21 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Very likely to come on for her Punchestown run and interesting on her handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (125/1 -213%) Itswhatunitesus |
125/1(-213%) | (2) Itswhatunitesus 125/1, Useful winner at 16f in bumpers. Pulled up in novice chase at Galway (18.5f, heavy, 3/1) 75 days ago, dropping away. Switches from chase to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Lost his way completely; debuts for Harry Rogers here and almost certainly best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (9/1 +10%) Clarens |
9/1(+10%) | (9) Clarens 9/1, Course winner. Good second of 20 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at this course (16f, heavy) 29 days ago. Up in trip. Enters calculations. Unproven over the trip but loves testing ground and won't be far away if getting home. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SHANNON ROYALE won a Clonmel bumper that has worked out well and has progressed with each run over hurdles this term. He was trying to give Lecky Watson 8lb at Thurles before fitted with cheek pieces when bolting up in a 2m6f maiden at Punchestown. A mark of 130 may underestimate his ability. Harvard Guy won over C&D last month while others to consider include Lord Erskine, third to Espanito Bello in a similar handicap at Naas last month, and Carnfunnock. Clarens completed a hat-trick on varying ground conditions over two years ago and has returned to form this term including when runner-up to the gambled-on Fortunedefortunata here last month. It will be interesting to see how he copes with this extra half-mile. Natural Look won over fences at Galway last time and now reverts to hurdles off a lower mark.
SHANNON ROYALE looks a typical improver for the yard and can follow up his Punchestown novice success now stepping into handicap company for the first time. Harvard Guy also has better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, with Natural Look, Clarens and Lord Erskine also firmly in the picture in this competitive handicap.
The one to beat could be HARVARD GUY(nap) who won with authority despite some iffy jumping over C&D last month and looks progressive

1st (10) (14/1 +30%) Butty O Brien |
14/1(+30%) | (10) Butty O Brien 14/1, 14/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.5f, soft) 51 days ago. In the mix. Not disgraced when returning to hurdles at Sligo in October but much more needed here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (25/1 -25%) Ena Baie |
25/1(-25%) | (1) Ena Baie 25/1, One win from 31 NH runs. 25/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (20.6f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Chance if rediscovering old form. Neither of her last two runs would give much encouragement; cheekpieces tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/4 +29%) Read To Return |
5/4(+29%) | (3) Read To Return 5/4, Winner in chase at Killarney in October. Respectable fourth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft, 5/2) 15 days ago. Has good chance on form. Fourth in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; strong form in the context of this race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (25/1 +24%) Native Gold |
25/1(+24%) | (9) Native Gold 25/1, 16/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (24f, soft), pulled up entering straight. Off 10 months. Failed to rediscover best form last season; best watched on his first start for 11 months. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (11/2 -38%) Blossom De Mai |
11/2(-38%) | (14) Blossom De Mai 11/2, Off 11 months but posted a career best when winning 9-runner handicap hurdle at Tramore (21f, soft, 22/1) 19 days ago. Showed a turn of foot there so she rates a player once more. Win going away over 2m5f at Tramore; improving as the stable continues in excellent form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (5/1 +33%) Upthereforthinking |
5/1(+33%) | (4) Upthereforthinking 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules who posted a respectable sixth of 22 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at this course (16f, heavy) 28 days ago. Back up in trip and very much one to consider. Staying-on sixth in a 2m handicap hurdle here last month; step up in trip will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (33/1 -267%) Golden Nugget |
33/1(-267%) | (8) Golden Nugget 33/1, Eighteenth of 22 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at this course (16f, heavy) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Disappointing horse and needs to find plenty here to be a factor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (16) (22/1 -10%) Ferrum |
22/1(-10%) | (16) Ferrum 22/1, Good fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy) 23 days ago. One for the shortlist. Appears to be going the right way and could get involved if the drop in trip suits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (12) (12/1 +40%) Western Model |
12/1(+40%) | (12) Western Model 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fair fifth of 16 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Fairyhouse (20.5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Possibilities. Didn't seem to get home over 2m4f in heavy ground at Fairyhouse; has time on his side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (6/1 -9%) Lets Do This |
6/1(-9%) | (7) Lets Do This 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at this course (21.6f, good to soft, 10/3) 92 days ago. Not taken lightly. Improved late summer; ground could be an issue but not without a chance if he handles it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (40/1 -60%) Lariat |
40/1(-60%) | (11) Lariat 40/1, 14/1, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, soft) 83 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Can give a good account. Dual Flat winner but still a maiden over hurdles and has not shown much for a while. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (28/1 -12%) Not May |
28/1(-12%) | (15) Not May 28/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Fairyhouse (23.5f, heavy) 23 days ago. Needs to step forward. Back in trip here but has an each-way squeak if able to find a little improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (40/1 -344%) Ivar The Boneless |
40/1(-344%) | (6) Ivar The Boneless 40/1, Fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.2f, heavy, 9/2) 30 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Hood on 1st time/tongue strap back on. Respected on handicap hurdle debut. Debuts for the Watsons here with headgear and could be interesting if settling better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (100/1 -150%) Jimli's Cave |
100/1(-150%) | (13) Jimli's Cave 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 250/1, seventeenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) 36 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Mild promise in Downpatrick maiden in April but well held twice since; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (2) (125/1 -213%) Sundrenched |
125/1(-213%) | (2) Sundrenched 125/1, Last of 20 in handicap hurdle (100/1) at Fairyhouse (19.8f, soft) 15 days ago. Beaten a mile in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse two weeks ago; hard to fancy. |

|PU| (5) (66/1 -65%) Cala Di Volpe |
66/1(-65%) | (5) Cala Di Volpe 66/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 18 in novice chase (100/1) at Gowran (20f, heavy). Off 22 months. Switches from chase to hurdles with more needed. Off the track for 22 months and pulled up in a point-to-point at Moira in October. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This can go the way of READ TO RETURN, who has been in fine form this season and ran with credit on his return to this sphere at Fairyhouse earlier in the month. A mark of 99 still looks manageable, and he is preferred to Blossom De Mai, who got off the mark with a determined success at Tramore and should not be inconvenienced by dropping back in trip. Lets Do This is a player based on the pick of his form, while Golden Nugget and Ivar The Boneless are others to consider.
Lots with chances but BLOSSOM DE MAI returned better than ever with a stylish success at Tramore so looks the way to go. Upthereforthinking is much less exposed and rates a big threat with this return to a longer trip a likely plus, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Read To Return, Lets Do This and Ferrum.
The one to be on could be UPTHEREFORTHINKING who ran well on his handicap debut over 2m here last month with the step up in trip a plus

1st (1) (5/6 +31%) Lucid Dreams |
5/6(+31%) | (1) Lucid Dreams 5/6, Useful chaser, 2 wins from 5 starts over fences this season. Ran well when ½-length second of 4 to Imagine in Craddockstown Novices' Chase at Punchestown (16.2f, soft, 6/1) 3 weeks ago, rallying run-in. Leading claims back up in trip. Went close in a Grade 2 over 2m last time when finishing strongly and 2m4f will be fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (10/11 +52%) Joyeux Machin |
10/11(+52%) | (2) Joyeux Machin 10/11, Useful chaser, successful at Wexford in September. Good effort when ½-length second of 4 to Minella Crooner in listed chase at same course (23f, heavy, 7/2) a month ago, rallying after bad mistake last. Respected. Good second over further at Wexford last time but jumping still has room for improvement. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LUCID DREAMS sets the standard on form following a career-best effort when second in the Craddockstown last month. The eight-year-old has clearly taken well to the larger obstacles and going up in trip looks a good move at this stage, with heavy ground of no concern either. Joyeux Machin is a key player on the back of the back of a strong effort in Listed company at Wexford, while Donacheady Gale could be the one for third if Sa Fureur takes up his engagement at Fairyhouse on Saturday rather than here.
LUCID DREAMS has made up into a useful type over both hurdles and fences, going close in a Grade 2 novice chase at Punchestown on his latest outing, and he can continue his good run of form to land a sixth win of the campaign. Joyeux Machin improved when runner-up last time and looks the biggest threat, with Sa Fureur engaged to run on Saturday.
Even though he has run every month since March, the likeable LUCID DREAMS has held his form well and can record a third win over fences

1st (1) (6/1 +25%) Pour Pavore |
6/1(+25%) | (1) Pour Pavore 6/1, Eighth of 9 in novice chase at Galway (18.2f, heavy) 50 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Should progress from workable mark in consideration to his hurdles form. Trip and ground fine and better for latest run at Galway; 10lb lower than his hurdles mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (11/2 +8%) Rolly Bowley Boy |
11/2(+8%) | (2) Rolly Bowley Boy 11/2, Showed promise when third of 10 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (24.5f, heavy) 40 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Enters calculations. Came back from seven months off with decent third in 3m beginners' chase at Fairyhouse. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/1 +44%) Teescomponentsyess |
10/1(+44%) | (7) Teescomponentsyess 10/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Galway (22.5f, heavy, 10/1) 49 days ago. Others preferred. Ran okay on handicap debut at Galway when fifth to a subsequent Cheltenham winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (7/2 +36%) Josh D'id |
7/2(+36%) | (6) Josh D'id 7/2, Likely to have made frame when unseated rider 2 out in handicap chase at this course (17f, heavy) won by Misty Hollow. Off 9 months. Up in trip. Should have more to offer. Was running a nice race on handicap debut behind Misty Hollow here when exiting two out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (13/2 +35%) Carrolls Cottage |
13/2(+35%) | (4) Carrolls Cottage 13/2, Unreliable individual. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Naas (20f, soft, 9/1) 35 days ago, racing lazily. On a decent mark if regaining his form but looks opposable again. 20-race maiden over fences and finished weakly over this trip at Naas last month. |

6th (8) (11/4 +31%) Wee Charlie |
11/4(+31%) | (8) Wee Charlie 11/4, Good second of 15 in novice chase (7/1) at Tramore (21.4f, soft) 19 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut. Sets the benchmark. Good second in a beginners' at Tramore; handicap debut and should go well for local yard. |

7th (11) (50/1 +0%) Lavinia Fontana |
50/1(+0%) | (11) Lavinia Fontana 50/1, Below form seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Tramore (21.4f, soft) 19 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Very hard to fancy. Beaten 36l on h'cap debut at Tramore and blinkers go on here; no weight but hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (3) (7/1 +7%) Backintheroom |
7/1(+7%) | (3) Backintheroom 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Eighth of 9 in novice chase at Naas (20f, soft, 200/1) 35 days ago, considerately handled. May well do better now handicapping. Not much since maiden hurdle win but opening chase mark is 10lb lower so might contend. |

|PU| (10) (66/1 +0%) Masterstonemason |
66/1(+0%) | (10) Masterstonemason 66/1, Two wins from 41 NH runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, soft) 59 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Poor form over hurdles this year and his chase form is moderate; can't have him. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WEE CHARLIE has made steady progress since beginning his career over fences in October, and his most recent effort at Tramore when just outstayed on the run-in, screamed of a winner waiting to happen. He can go one better on the drop in trip, with course winner Misty Hollow looking best placed to chase him home on his first run since March. Hardwired is a big player under these conditions, having won over further on his penultimate start, while Rolly Bowley Boy is another finding his way in this sphere.
WEE CHARLIE looks to have been handed a lenient opening mark on the back of an encouraging second in a Tramore novice last month and he's taken to make a winning handicap chase debut. Fellow handicap newcomers Backintheroom and Pour Pavore have been given considerate rides in their qualifying runs and better can be expected.
A consistent sort over hurdles, WEE CHARLIE gets the vote to score on handicap chase debut after an encouraging display at Tramore

Jalon D'oudairies |
(2) (9/4 +50%)9/4(+50%) | (2) Jalon D'oudairies 9/4, Won sole start in points (Mar 12) and readily off the mark at the first time of asking under Rules in 6-runner event at Fairyhouse. Open to significant improvement and looks the main danger to Redemption Day. Quickened up well to win slowly-run bumper at Fairyhouse earlier this month. |

1st (6) (5/4 +81%) The Enabler |
5/4(+81%) | (6) The Enabler 5/4, 8/11, off the mark at second attempt in 6-runner bumper at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 22 days ago. Worth a try in this grade. Easy win in another slowly-run bumper at Punchestown last time; those behind were ordinary. |

2nd (1) (13/2 +59%) Fleur In The Park |
13/2(+59%) | (1) Fleur In The Park 13/2, Made a winning start, then good second of 11 in bumper at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 67 days ago, running on. Plenty to find on form. Roscommon winner was narrowly denied by a useful Mullins-trained favourite at Punchestown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (5/2 +50%) Springt De La Mare |
5/2(+50%) | (5) Springt De La Mare 5/2, Won sole start in points and followed up in 7-runner event over C&D a month ago. Was all out there, though and this is much stronger. Hard enough race over C&D when clinging on from useful runner-up who has hacked up since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (17/2 +29%) Glens Lullaby |
17/2(+29%) | (8) Glens Lullaby 17/2, Twice-raced maiden. 7/1, second of 16 in bumper at Galway (16f, heavy) 49 days ago. Could step forward again. Went close on second start at Galway (third won since) but has a lot to find. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (16/1 +60%) Cola Blaze |
16/1(+60%) | (7) Cola Blaze 16/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, won 11-runner bumper at Thurles (16.1f, soft, 25/1) 45 days ago. A lot more is required here. Was 25-1 when readily winning ordinary Thurles bumper in first-time tongue-tie last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (15/2 +32%) Scamall Bawn |
15/2(+32%) | (4) Scamall Bawn 15/2, Promising type. 11/1, won 9-runner bumper at Cork (19f, good to soft) on NH debut 41 days ago, cosily. Open to improvement and can't be ruled out. Quite impressive debut at Cork (2m3f) in October; yard always respected and more to come. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Given he was a close second in the Champion Bumper at last year's Punchestown Festival, Redemption Day boasts the strongest form and is considered despite this being his first start for 599 days. However, this is a race littered with potential and JALON D'OUDAIRIES, a 420,000-pounds recruit after he won his sole start on the point-to-point sphere, is just preferred with his match fitness proven after comfortably landing a Fairyhouse bumper 15 days ago. Open to any amount of progression, he is a highly appealing horse for Gordon Elliott to go to war with this season. The selection's stablemate The Enabler and previous C&D winner Springt De La Mare are a couple of others to consider.
REDEMPTION hasn't been seen for 19 months but that was when runner-up to Facile Vega and, if he retains that ability he will double his tally on return. Jalon D'Oudairies looks a good prospect and should be feared, while The Enabler is also of interest.
The selection is SCAMALL BAWN who needs to progress appreciably from his win at Cork but, given the yard he's from, can do just that
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
