13:45 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LIGHTKEEPER was beaten out of sight into second by Mercurey, who looks a very promising type, and, prior to that, he was denied by seven lengths by Tullyhill, who went on to record a Listed success here on Sunday. Gordon Elliott's gelding doesn't come up against anything like that opposition in this contest and can go one better. Milo Lises' run at Limerick was too bad to be true last time and he could easily bounce back to get involved, while Red Glory may have come forward for his Fairyhouse reappearance.

FAULTY hasn't been seen since slipping up in a similar event here 12 months ago and this represents a good opportunity if retaining his ability. Lightkeeper is next best ahead of Military Alliance.

Dual maiden hurdle runner-up LIGHTKEEPER has a lot less to beat today that Tullyhill or Mercurey and he can take advantage

Improved for the step up to this trip when just held in a Navan maiden hurdle last month.

(3) Big Stage 16/1, Successful sole start in points and shaped much better than distance beaten suggests when fifth of 12 in bumper at Naas (18.5f) 24 days ago, dropping away from 2f out. Better expected now hurdling.
Soundly beaten in a Naas bumper last month on track debut; probably capable of much better.

14:15 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Any market support for point-to-point winner Majestic Force should be noted on her Rules debut, after she changed hands for 120,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sales in December. However, preference is for DR EGGMAN, who has plenty of experience on his side and he produced another solid display to hit the crossbar when stepping up to this trip at Navan. The son of Saint Des Saints looks well placed to get off the mark over timber. Notkeepinyagoing has shown some ability and can fight it out for the minor honours.

A useful sort in bumpers, DR EGGMAN took a step forward from his hurdles debut effort when runner-up over this trip at Navan 32 days ago and with further progress likely, he can make it third time lucky in this sphere. Majestic Force, a winner of her only start in points is worth a look on her respective Rules debut. Big Stage and Practice Run complete the shortlist.

it may pay to side with the de Bromhead track newcomer MAJESTIC FORCE, impressive in his sole point for Robert Tector

No easy task to give away upwards of 9lb in this race but probably still the one to beat.

Much better than she showed in a Listed at Navan ten days ago but an unlikely winner.

14:45 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This could prove to be a straightforward task for multiple Grade 1 winner GALA MARCEAU, who sets a lofty standard in this contest with a rating of 141. Willie Mullins' mare returned from a 251-day break to be beaten by stablemate Ashroe Diamond at Doncaster and even a repeat of that effort could be good enough to take this. The main threat is stable companion Saylavee, who finished a place in front of Hispanic Moon in a Grade 3 event at Leopardstown in December. Annalecka will need to find significant improvement.

A good opportunity for the smart GALA MARCEAU to resume winning ways despite her free-going style remaining a slight concern. Her stablemate Saylavee is feared most.

Despite giving away upwards of 9lb, it looks safest to side with double Grade 1 winner GALA MARCEAU to bounce back from Doncaster

(1) Cuta Des As 7/4, Winning pointer who looked above average in bumpers (creditable efforts both starts since a winning debut). Significantly up in trip after 10 months off and looks a big player.

15:15 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from TAREZE's Rules debut when splitting two promising sorts here last month. Henry de Bromhead's mare sets a strong standard on that runner-up effort and this looks a suitable opportunity for her to go one place better. Atlanticexpress, a half-sister to Lock's Corner, is a potential fly in the ointment on her racecourse bow. Any market support for the five-year-old would be interesting, while decent bumper performer Cuta Des As also warrants respect now tackling hurdles for the first time.

This will likely develop into a match between ex-pointers TAREZE and Cuta Des As, with the first-named taking preference after pulling clear of the remainder when second at this course on hurdling debut. Atlanticexpress is a notable debutant but lack of experience might hold her back.

This has the look of a match and TAREZE, with a recent second under her belt, may exploit the 8lb concession from Cuta Des As

15:50 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An 8lb rise for Aodhan May's Navan victory earlier in the month looks more than fair and Charles Byrnes' mare warrants respect in her follow-up bid. However, DUFFYS GETAWAY looked set to regain the winning thread at Fairyhouse last month but for idling towards the finish and coming home in second. There still appears to be more races in the seven-year-old and he edges the vote. Fellow in-form rivals Cher Why Not and Kiln Time should give another good account of themselves.

Plenty in with chances but preference is for veteran CHER WHY NOT, who is holding his form really well this season and was unlucky to bump into a big improver at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. He can get the better of Aodhan May, who belied market weakness to register a first success over hurdles at Navan 10 days ago and could kick on now up and running. Native Gold and Cosmo Renfro can fight out third.

Seemingly not much fancied when winning at Navan two weeks ago, AODHAN MAY has realistic prospects of going in again off 8lb higher

16:25 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Getaway Master picked up plenty of minor money at Galway during the autumn but he lacks the recent run of SILENT FLIGHT, who showed his appreciation for the step up from 2m when getting off the mark over C&D and is open to plenty more improvement. Shana Cloon is the one who rises in distance now and has been threatening to win a race. Balum wasn't that far behind the selection last time and might close the gap a little.

SILENT FLIGHT took a marked step forward to justify support here last time and, with further progress on the cards, he's a solid candidate to go in again. Getaway Master and Shana Cloon, both runner-up last time, are two of several others who merit respect.

The five-year-old SHANA CLOON is more likely to be capable of improvement than many of these and may be suited by this rise in trip

(6) Sermandzarak 8/15, €80,000 3-y-o, Zarak gelding. Closely related to a winner on Flat and half-brother to 2 winners, including fair hurdler Sermando. Dam jump/1¼m winner on Flat in Italy. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and worth chancing to make a winning start.
Obviously respected from these quarters and likely one of the market leaders.

16:55 Punchestown NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Harry's Dream and Real Empire made the podium behind a smart prospect of Robcour's on Thyestes day at Gowran but they bump into another interesting type in the same ownership in the shape of SERMANDZARAK, who cost 80,000 euros. The Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old has a useful Flat pedigree, as does Godolphin cast-off Delta Force, while Colcannon offered plenty of encouragement when third at Naas and has to be feared.

SERMANDZARAK has the speed in his pedigree to be capable in this sphere and he's in top hands, so he may be up to making a successful debut at the possible expense of Colcannon, who makes most appeal of those with experience.

A good standard is set by close Naas third COLCANNON and he can go a couple of places better 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.
