LTO Selection:

13:10 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HYPERSONIC MISSILE did well in bumpers during his time with John McConnell and, with the switch to hurdles unlikely to pose any problems for this point-to-point winner, he holds leading claims on his stable bow for Gavin Cromwell. Touch Me Not fell at the last when clear on his sole appearance between the flags and has since been bought by powerful connections for 150,000 pounds. He will be expected to figure prominently on his Rules debut, while Anotherway and Catena Zapata also merit consideration.

There is a good chance ANOTHERWAY can leave the form of his Leopardstown run when returning from 17 months off behind and he could be the way to go in this weaker maiden. Hypersonic Missile and Touch Me Not are firm players, while Catena Zapata probably has a race like this in him.

No great strength in depth and it's quite likely that ANOTHERWAY will come on sufficiently from his hurdles debut to take this

Runaway Down Royal winner last week; up 12lb but further improvement likely.

Out of depth last time, chance on best form though doesn't appear that progressive.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Timeless Piece is sure to prove popular after romping home by 10 lengths on her handicap hurdle bow at Down Royal last week. However, Gordon Elliott's filly does have a 12lb rise to contend with, so it may pay to take a punt on her stablemate DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE. Lightly raced on the Flat, she has picked up plenty of experience over timber so far and has offered enough to suggest that her opening mark is workable. Burvea may fare best of the remainder.

TIMELESS PIECE was much improved for the switch to handicaps when winning easily at Down Royal last week and can strike again. Burvea and Eagles Reign could be dangerous.

Despite having to shoulder top-weight recent Down Royal winner TIMELESS PIECE (nap) is taken to follow up off 12lb higher

(1) Bioluminescence 4/7, Promising type. Second of 19 in maiden (9/4) at Navan (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 71 days ago. Up in trip. The one to beat with improvement on the cards.

9/1(-20%)
(9) Tareze 9/1, Won sole start in points (Apr 2023). The second has won a bumper since so the form has some substance. Joined a good yard and respected on Rules debut, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.
Point-to-point winner for Colin Bowe; interesting now on rules debut for top yard.

Plenty to find with Paggane on Cork form; not sure this step up in trip will suit either.

Westerner mare jumped poorly when tailed off on Clonmel debut earlier in the month.
LTO Selection:

14:10 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Point-to-point winner Tareze must be respected on her Rules debut for a top stable, but it may pay to side with the more experienced BIOLUMINESCENCE. Gavin Cromwell's charge kept on well to finish second over 2m at Navan on her hurdling bow, and this step up in trip can help her to get her head in front. Paggane finished a well-beaten fifth behind the selection that day, but improved to occupy the runner-up berth at Cork and warrants consideration for her powerful connections.

BIOLUMINESCENCE produced a promising first effort over hurdles when second over 2m at Navan in November and can go one better with this longer trip likely to suit on pedigree. Cork runner-up Paggane rates an obvious danger for the Willie Mullins team, while Henry de Bromhead point recruit Tareze would also need considering if the betting suggests she's fancied.

This step up in trip should suit BIOLUMINESCENCE, who was staying on well at the finish over 2m at Navan

LTO Selection:

14:40 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An intriguing recruit from the Flat in France, where he was successful in July 2022, BILLERICAY DICKIE can strike for his in-form connections, who have taken this contest for the past two years. Related to recent Leopardstown scorer Intellotto, the son of New Bay has been given Cheltenham Festival entries so should have too much for He's Ultimate, as well as Beau Walking, who has been placed on each of his four starts in this sphere and may be one for handicaps down the line.

BILLERICAY DICKIE looked a good prospect when winning on the Flat in France so is fancied to find his rhythm straight away for Willie Mullins and go in at the first time of asking in this sphere. Find A Fortune also has better days ahead of him and is next best ahead of the lightly-raed Beau Walking.

Not a strong maiden hurdle for the venue and dual Cheltenham entry BILLERICAY DICKIE should be up to taking this on hurdles debut

Something amiss latest but progressive prior to that including 3m handicap win here.
LTO Selection:

15:10 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CHAMPAGNE ADMIRAL accounted for a useful rival when winning a handicap over this distance at Leopardstown a month ago and the six-year-old merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance. The unexposed Joyau De Thaix is an obvious threat following his success at Limerick and Paul Nolan's gelding should have more to offer on just his third start. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Built By Ballymore is arguably the pick of them.

Quite a trappy contest but BUILT BY BALLYMORE looks the type to go on improving and can follow up from Limerick. Champagne Admiral and Joyau de Thaix both won last time out also and should be in the thick of things again.

He got a very good ride but it was still a meritorious effort by CHAMPAGNE ADMIRAL to beat a useful type over this trip at Leopardstown

LTO Selection:

15:40 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

QUORNOFAMONDAY posted another gallant effort in defeat as favourite when runner-up in a 21-runner affair at Naas earlier this month. A 2lb rise looks more than fair and a well-earned breakthrough victory could be on the cards. There was plenty to like about Verbal Sparring's close-up second at this venue on New Year's Eve and the five-year-old is a potential improver now upped in distance, while it's too soon to write off Gold Haven.

JACENRY offered little in a trio of maiden hurdles but he left those efforts behind when sixth in a big-field Down Royal handicap last month. He could be about to take another step forward now faced with a stiffer test. Little Token should come on for her recent spin at Clonmel and is next on the list, while Quornofamonday, Verbal Sparring and Brownstone also merit respect.

Better for a recent comeback run after showing mild promise at this venue last year, MOONLIGHT GETAWAY is chosen to take a step forward

LTO Selection:

16:10 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Slight preference is for COSMO RENFRO, who should be well suited by going back up in trip, having scored over an extended 3m at Limerick back in November. The seven-year-old, who then made the frame over 2m5f at the same track, remains relatively unexposed and he gets the vote ahead of Reserve Judgement and Captain Jimmy, who has ground to make up with the selection but won here over further a little more than a year ago. Completing the shortlist are Arthor, Glorious Singer and Made In The Woods.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and COSMO RENFRO looks the way to go with the form of his recent big-field Limerick third having been franked. Course-winner Captain Jimmy is weighted to have a say and next on the list ahead of Glorious Singer and Arthor.

A ready winner over 3m here a year ago, CAPTAIN JIMMY may be able to strike after an encouraging run over fences earlier this month

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
