Karbau

0.5
1/2(+25%)
(4) Karbau 1/2, Promising sort. First run since leaving Emmanuel Clayeux when fourth of 18 in novice hurdle at Naas (19.5f, good to soft, 5/4) on IRE NH debut 42 days ago. Very much of interest here with improvement on the cards.
Promising enough Naas hurdles debut and softer ground here should suit; big player.

25/1(-178%)
(3) Captain Ryan Matt 25/1, Promising sort. Hooded, fifth of 15 in novice hurdle (17/2) at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) on NH debut 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should improve but Rachael Blackmore prefers Adaliz.
Some debut promise at Tramore; Rachael Blackmore prefers newcomer Adaliz however.

Zillow

10/3(+5%)
(14) Zillow 10/3, Fairly useful Flat winner. Promising type. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, fourth of 23 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, good, 22/1) 32 days ago. Jockey bookings suggest that Karbau is the stable No 1 but this 5-y-o merits respect all the same.
Leopardstown fourth behind a stablemate at Christmas puts him right in the mix.

Some promise on recent hurdles debut but needs to jump much better.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

KARBAU, a wide-margin winner of a French bumper, is entitled to come on from his fourth place on hurdling debut at Naas last month. He holds a couple of possible engagements at the Cheltenham Festival for Willie Mullins. Sticwiththeprocess outran his odds when fifth at Naas and can build upon that. Mullins also saddles Zillow, who was fifth at Punchestown and fourth at Leopardstown. Further progress could be on the cards. Paul Collins was found to be lame when he was a beaten favourite in fourth at Thurles in November so he is not out of it, while Henry de Bromhead's newcomer Adaliz is one for a market check.

French import KARBAU shaped well on debut for the Willie Mullins yard at Naas and he rates a confident selection with the strong possibility of better to come. Zillow, another representative from the Mullins stable, gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of the Henry de Bromhead-trained pair, Adaliz and Captain Ryan Matt. Park That and Sticwiththeprocess should both do better in time.

KARBAU may have to settle a bit better than at Naas but the softer ground should suit and he gets the nod over stablemate Zillow

4/1(-45%)
(2) Slurricane 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 8f on the Flat. 7/2, creditable second of 14 in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and has to be high on the shortlist.
Progressive maiden, handles soft and seems sure to be thereabouts.

Out For A Stroll

5/2(+9%)
(3) Out For A Stroll 5/2, Lightly-raced winner over hurdles. 9/4, off the mark in a Limerick maiden hurdle (2m, soft) with first-time cheekpieces enlisted (retained here) on Boxing Day. Merits respect on handicap hurdle debut.
Limerick win franked since; no surprise if she played a role on handicap debut.

Total Look

3/1(+14%)
(1) Total Look 3/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Fairly useful winner at 10f on the Flat. 11/8, third of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Makes handicap debut in this sphere.
Cheltenham third with more to come but stiff enough task conceding so much weight.
5
4th (5) Lakota Blue (5/2 +17%)
Lakota Blue

2.5
5/2(+17%)
(5) Lakota Blue 5/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Navan (20f, soft, 16/5) 9 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and should make his presence felt.
Didn't seem to stay 2m4f on latest; earlier form gives him claims and blinkers could help.

5th (4) Space Warrior (40/1 -233%)
Space Warrior

40/1(-233%)
(4) Space Warrior 40/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. 13/2, last of 6 in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) 16 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut.
Fairyhouse maiden winner has flopped twice since; hard to be confident in.

6th (6) Bid Up (14/1 -17%)
Bid Up

14
14/1(-17%)
(6) Bid Up 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft, 9/1) 31 days ago. Opposable.
Safely held in handicaps at Cork and Limerick last month; remains opposable.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

OUT FOR A STROLL made the breakthrough at Limerick and has a shot at following up in receipt of plenty of weight from Total Look. Joseph O'Brien's Churchill filly travelled well in the first-time cheekpieces to score at Limerick and the runner-up franked the form on his next start. Total Look has to shoulder top weight after a close third at Cheltenham. The form of his Navan victory is working out well and he is a significant threat. Slurricane is a consistent sort who should be in there pitching for prize money. He was a place ahead of Out For A Stroll when they were third and fourth respectively in Punchestown in November.

A deserved first taste of success over hurdles beckons for SLURRICANE, who again found just one too good in a Fairyhouse maiden last month and his opening mark in this sphere could be a handy one. Out For A Stroll had Lakota Blue back in third when landing a Limerick maiden hurdle during the Christmas period and she is feared most ahead of that re-opposing rival and top-weight Total Look.

On his C&D maiden second, LAKOTA BLUE has a big chance at the weights

(7) Maughreen (4/11 +9%)
Maughreen

0.363636
4/11(+9%)
(7) Maughreen 4/11, Won 12-runner bumper at this course (16.2f, soft, 1/2) on debut last January, soon clear. Obvious claims for top yard now switched to hurdles, despite the 12-month absence.
Impressive bumper winner last year is highly thought of and is a major player on return.
5
(5) Familiar Dreams (9/4 +44%)
Familiar Dreams

2.25
9/4(+44%)
(5) Familiar Dreams 9/4, 506/100, last of 7 in minor event on the Flat at Kentucky Downs (16.5f, firm) when last seen in September (perhaps unsuited by the quick ground). Fine record in bumpers for Anthony McCann (listed/Grade 3 winner in that sphere last season) and will prove hard to beat if taking to hurdles.
Grade 3 bumper winner at this track; poor on the Flat in USA last time; hurdles debut.

Point winner was sold for GBP42,000 after; can run well on rules debut.

Pulled-up in a point and well beaten in a maiden hurdle so enormous improvement needed.

Well beaten in two completed maiden hurdles and handicaps will suit better.

This contest features a very interesting clash between Familiar Dreams and MAUGHREEN. Familiar Dreams cut a swathe through bumpers when handled by Anthony McCann and her winning spree culminated in a Grade 3 success at the Punchestown Festival. She makes her hurdling debut for Gordon Elliott and is a very talented mare. Slight preference is for Maughreen, who represents Willie Mullins. She was impressive on bumper debut at this track just over a year ago when powering 11 lengths clear of her rivals. She met with a minor setback last season, but was the subject of a favourable report in a stable tour. Clody Diamond's point-to-point victory is working out nicely ahead of her track debut.

The sight of Qatar Racing's silks over jumps is a rare one but in FAMILIAR DREAMS the operation has a nice prospect on its books. A winner of four of her nine starts in bumpers for Anthony McCann and successful on the second of her three starts on the Flat for Gordon Elliott, she will likely be holding her own at a higher level in this sphere before long, provided that her jumping passes the test. Maughreen, an impressive winner of a bumper last winter, is feared most ahead of Clody Diamond.

Though she has only run once, MAUGHREEN created such a favourable impression in that course bumper win a year ago and can win on return

(4) Port Joulain 11/10, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Third of 10 in novice hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good, 14/1) 29 days ago. Looks the most solid option.
Lame when pulled-up on hurdling debut at this track but ran a solid race at Leopardstown.

(5) Sermandzarak 9/4, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Below form sixth of 12 in minor event hurdle at Leopardstown (19.8f, good, 6/4) 30 days ago. Showed plenty of ability in bumpers and big chance if he's back to the form he showed on hurdling debut.
Two bumper wins here; coughing last time but is a big player if back to his best.

PORT JOULAIN won a point-to-point and a Gowran bumper on testing ground and, having suffered an overreach when disappointing here on his hurdle debut, advertised his claims when third to The Enabler in a 2m4f Leopardstown maiden. The selection had Bossofthebrownies about two lengths behind in fourth on that occasion and may now have most to fear from Sermandzarak. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding won the valuable Goffs Defender Bumper at the Festival here last April and made a pleasing start over hurdles when narrowly denied by Butch Cassidy over C&D. He was found to be coughing when disappointing subsequently at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting.

PORT JOULAIN's career hasn't quite gone to plan as yet but he arrives on the back of a good effort and there may well be more to come, so he's preferred to Sermandzara and Bossofthebrownies, who are closely matched on form.

PORT JOULAIN bounced back from two poor efforts with a solid third at Leopardstown last time and can hold Sermandzarak

Goraibhmaithagat

1.375
11/8(+8%)
(2) Goraibhmaithagat 11/8, Promising individual. Won 16-runner novice hurdle at Navan (16f, soft, 16/1) on NH debut 51 days ago, cosily. Hasn't finished improving and this trip should suit, so he's the one to beat.
Point and maiden hurdle winner is respected even though seems owner's second-string.

Two chase outings lately and might find this trip a bit sharp on hurdles return.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

The Gavin Cromwell-trained MYWAYOFTHINKIN and Fenway Park both need to bounce back after disappointing last time and preference is for the former. The well-bred son of Flemensfirth showed promise in bumpers before winning a 2m maiden when switched to hurdles here last spring and was found to be lame after pulling up on his reappearance in a Grade 3 at Navan. Fenway Park also won a maiden hurdle here last May but was let down by his jumping last month at Leopardstown. Bayrann gained reward for his consistency when taking a 2m Thurles maiden just before Christmas, while Goraibhmaithagat also won a Navan maiden over 2m and has plenty of scope for improvement.

GORAIBHMAITHAGAT had something up his sleeve when scoring at Navan 51 days ago and it will probably be a while before he finishes improving, so he gets the nod in an interesting affair. The Great Nudie could pose a threat to the selection with another step forward and Mywayofthinkin can't be ruled out after one poor run.

Found to be lame after being pulled-up last time, MYWAYOFTHINKIN is the pick of Mark Walsh and can bounce back

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

BRIDIE'S BEAU was placed on both bumper starts for Paul Nicholls and kept on into fifth on his first handicap outing at Limerick last month. That 2m event has thrown up a couple of subsequent winners and the selection is bred to appreciate this longer trip. Silas Marner has yet to score in 16 career starts but did give some encouragement when fourth to Duffys Hodey in a similar 2m4f Fairyhouse handicap earlier this month, while Klassman was placed a number of times in November before going off favourite when unseating rider three out here on New Year's Eve. Mighty Soldier, Mywayorthehighway and Dolly Watkins are others to consider.

BRIDIE'S BEAU looks to have been building up to something and, having not had a hard race last time, he's worth a chance to defy a mark of 95 at the possible expense of Klassman, who had been knocking on the door prior to unseating at this course last time. Silas Mariner is also respected.

Having run a solid race on handicap debut at Fairyhouse last time over a similar trip, SILAS MARNER could improve enough to take this

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

A chance is taken on the fitness of THAT'S ME FINISHED, who left all previous known form behind when getting off the mark at Sligo last summer. There is the potential for plenty more to come and he can pick up where he left off. Point-to-point winner Master Of The Sums caught the eye when keeping on into third in a 2m3f Limerick maiden last month and any market move would be interesting on his handicap debut. Stellar Symphony has won twice at around 3m and still looks on a competitive mark, while Westernersunrise is another to note.

COMEONARCHIE has found just one too good over similar trips to this here on his last two starts and is taken to get his head in front this time. With improvement likely now making the switch to handicap company, Master of The Sums may emerge as the main danger, while Person of Interest and Phoenix Cowboy may both have a say in the finish, too.

Not too many appeal. Perhaps COMEONARCHIE (nap) can go one better than on his two recent visits here

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.
