13:55 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SOMETHING ABOUTHER is a seven-year-old who tackles this distance for the first time but has recent form and is suited by good ground. A 2021 bumper winner, she missed 450 days before returning this year and bumped into capable winners on recent runs. She contests a winnable race and could be suited by going up in trip. February point-to-point winner Annalecka was a 14/1 winner of a recent pointing bumper and while proven at this distance, probably faces a tougher task against today's selection. Ginnets Girl had some useful form last summer and while pulled up when last seen, makes her seasonal reappearance with today's rider claiming 7lb.

Successful in bumpers, SOMETHING ABOUTHER again displayed fair form when runner-up over hurdles at Tipperary last month, and with this longer trip expected to unlock some improvement, she gets the nod to come out on top. Annalecka impressed when making a winning bumper debut latest and is also of interest now switched to timber. The returning Ginnets Girl is also worth a second look.

An ordinary enough mares' maiden hurdle which can go the way of hurdling debutante ANNALECKA, winner of a recent pointers' bumper

14:30 Punchestown Handicap Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GET MY DRIFT retuned from a mini-break to win last month and reverts to a handicap chase. Rated 134 over hurdles last year, he beat a useful mare to win at Kilbeggan and had previously run well in a Grade B chase on handicap debut, over a similar distance, in February. Vado Forte was seven lengths behind the selection in that Leopardstown race and while now 6lb better off, was well held at Aintree in April and returns following a mini-break. Kildorrery is an able type at this level and is well suited by two-miles but doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper. The Greek was well beaten in a much stronger race at the Punchestown festival but has some claims on best form while Filon D'oudairies might improve from a recent reappearance run over hurdles.

THE DARA MAN is on a good mark on the pick of last season's form so could be worth chancing having had excuses on his recent return. Get My Drift pulled clear with the runner-up when off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan and is a big threat, while the reliable Kildorrery should be in the mix again.

Although officially 2lb wrong here it may pay to take a chance on CLEVER CURRENCY, back in trip after a promising run at Kilbeggan

15:05 Punchestown Handicap Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

OCEAN LEGACY has recently found form and is ideally suited by staying distances and good ground. Her form had been largely disappointing prior to this year but is just a six-year-old who can continue to progress a little further and can cope with an 8lb hike for a recent win. The Eye Of Tulla has also recently hit form on good ground and while he won well at Limerick, his best form is over shorter distances. Alpha Male, a 12 year old, won a similar handicap here in May 2022 and while well held over hurdles recently, that was over an inadequate distance and will be much better suited by today's conditions. Stablemate and banks specialist Subset is interesting rated just 81 but his previous handicaps form was poor.

The race revolves around SUBSET, who has never displayed a great deal over regulation fences but he's been in excellent form in cross-country events here this spring and his basement mark could be very lenient. Were he to fluff his lines, Ocean Legacy and The Eye of Tulla are probably best placed to take advantage.

With stamina proven, OCEAN LEGACY gets the vote over The Eye Of Tulla, although banks winner Subset could prove a real danger

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

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

DANADA disappointed on a recent run but is better judged by a promising debut run. He shaped with promise on his Clonmel debut, with the runner-up, fifth and sixth-placed horses subsequently winning, and while he needs to show that form, his Downpatrick run was his first run for 108 days and this is a weak maiden. April point-to-point winner Nevermindestranger was in strong contention for a Downpatrick hunters chase when exiting at the second-last and while probably better suited to staying chases, seems suited by good ground and is interesting at this level. Steel Cable was reported to have burst blood vessels when pulling up at 33/1 at Navan last November. He has moved yards and it is positive that connections have persevered, but the eight-year-old needs to show vast improvement. Summer Gale has bits of flat form but was off-the-bridle for much of his seasonal reappearance and jumps debut at Kilbeggan. Blue In The West steps up from a recent confined maiden point-to-point win.

SUMMER GALE failed to replicate the level of form he'd shown in bumpers/on the Flat sent hurdling at Kilbeggan last week but is well worth another chance in a weak race. Danada can have a big say if bouncing back to his hurdling debut form, while Nevermindestranger is another to consider having shown up well in a hunter chase at Downpatrick recently.

A weak maiden for the venue. DANADA failed to back up an eyecatching Clonmel debut run but should appreciate this drop in trip

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

After THE SHORT GO's wide-margin victory in a Killarney maiden hurdle, Henry de Bromhead reported that he had really turned inside out in the last few months. A couple of winners have come out of that race to strengthen the form. The forecast quick ground ought to be in his favour being by Fame And Glory. Ash Tree Meadow has been in good form over fences. He ran up a hat-trick last summer and was also placed in the Galway Plate. He hasn't been over hurdles since April last year, but looks dangerous and Danny Gilligan's 7lb claim is a big bonus. Jeff Kidder is coming off a break, but has plenty of talent. He had a golden spell over flights a couple of years ago and is more than capable of having a say.

THE SHORT GO made light of a six-month lay-off when going in at Killarney last time and can improve sufficiently to edge out form-choice Da Capo Glory in a useful contest. Jeff Kidder and Ash Tree Meadow can have a say too if ready to roll after respective absences.

There should be more to come from DA CAPO GLORY who chased home Grangeclare West here in April and should have more to offer

16:50 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SCOTT LANG has form on fast ground on the Flat and should have more to offer on his second start over hurdles. He may not have quite got home when third over 2m3f on jumping debut at Clonmel last month, so the drop back in trip can help. He has been placed on his last two starts in staying handicaps on the Flat. Nathaniel filly New Year Honours should be a factor. She won on the all-weather track at Lingfield for Ralph Beckett and has had three spins over hurdles for Gordon Elliott. She has a best finish of second at Down Royal in November and hasn't been seen since December. Fermoyle has been placed in two bumpers and has claims on his hurdling debut. Bukhill was unplaced in two bumpers for Willie Mullins, but went off favourite in both. He is worth a market check on his first start for Peter Fahey.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and SCOTT LANG, who comes here in good order from the Flat, is fancied to belatedly build on his hurdling debut promise and open his account in this sphere. New Year Honours is second on the list and would rate a serious threat if back to her best. Hurdling-debutant Fermoyle appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

It was a promising hurdle debut from SCOTT LANG last year. He should be fit for this arriving on the back of solid efforts on the Flat

17:25 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STRIKING took second place on his last couple of starts over hurdles and can get his turn. Although he was beaten a long way over a similar trip at this track last month, the horse that took the honours had been placed in Grade A and Grade B handicap hurdles. Gordon Elliott's Nottodaybobo was placed in three of his four bumpers and is an obvious threat on his first crack at hurdling. His stablemate, Sea Aster, is a newcomer to note being related to several winners. Bonavena is a nicely-bred sort making his debut for Peter Fahey.

In a race bigger on quantity than quality, Flat winner STRIKING is taken to open his account in this sphere. He chased home a Willie Mullins-trained hotpot here last time and, unless one of the newcomers turn out to be pretty decent, a reproduction of that effort will surely suffice. Of the newcomers, Farrokh is the most interesting, while the Gordon Elliott-trained pair, Nottodaybobo and Sea Aster also need a second look.

It's hard to oppose STRIKING (nap) who has finished runner-up in his last two outings and that level of form sets a clear standard

18:00 Punchestown NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

I WILL BE BAIE is hard to get away from on his first start for Willie Mullins. This French-bred gelding made 150,000 guineas at the sales after winning his point-to-point on fast ground at Taylorstown in April last year for Colin Bowe. Smokey Putnum showed marked improvement to come home third at Ballinrobe and Down Royal. This will be the quickest ground he will have faced, but he's starting to go the right way. Fad Eadrainn made a pleasing debut in third at Tipperary and should be in the hunt for prize money. Master Otis has had three outings and was second at Thurles in March. All of his runs have been on slower ground.

I WILL BE BAIE was an expensive purchase on the back of a point win and, while that was over a year ago, he's fully expected to make a successful start under Rules. Master Otis looks the main danger and Fad Eadrainn is likely to step forward from his debut.

I Will Be Baie is likely to be popular but FAD EADRAINN caught the eye on debut and with improvement likely, he gets the vote

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.
