1st (6) (1/2 +85%) Fascile Mode |
1/2(+85%) | (6) Fascile Mode 1/2, Made a winning debut at Leopardstown in December. Failed to build on that when behind the reopposing A Dream To Share in Graded events in the spring but remains a decent hurdle prospect. Beat a smart type on his bumper debut, ran in two of the races won by A Dream To Share. |

2nd (2) (9/2 +82%) Barometer |
9/2(+82%) | (2) Barometer 9/2, Fair Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. Ninth of 13 in handicap at Thurles (16f, soft, 11/1) 6 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Bit below form on last hurdle outing. One win and nine places from 21 Flat starts, has some hurdling experience, place chance. |

3rd (5) (14/1 +13%) Dorans Law |
14/1(+13%) | (5) Dorans Law 14/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 5/2, eleventh of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 21 days ago but his strength in the betting on that occasion suggests he's thought capable of better. Mid-field in a course bumper, tame effort when favourite on hurdling debut at Listowel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (16) (33/1 +34%) Idol |
33/1(+34%) | (16) Idol 33/1, Bumper winner for Willie Mullins in August 2022 but not seen again until well held on his hurdle debut 16 days ago. Should strip fitter for the run. Roscommon bumper winner for Willie Mullins last year, made a low-key yard/hurdling debut. |

15/2(+77%) | (9) Lookondebrightside 15/2, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. 8/1, ninth of 14 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 23 days ago. Second in a maiden hurdle at last year's Listowel festival, below that form since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (33/1 +67%) Forever Frankie |
33/1(+67%) | (7) Forever Frankie 33/1, Modest hurdler. 80/1, fifth of 17 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, soft) 21 days ago. Showed some ability at Listowel on his second hurdle start, one for handicaps perhaps. |

250/1(-25%) | (13) Shining Flame 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 18 in bumper at this course (18f, good to soft) 166 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Completely tailed off in bumper outings at Fairyhouse and this venue last season. |

200/1(+0%) | (11) Restless Son 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) on NH debut 12 days ago. Struggled on debut in a Gowran maiden hurdle in which Qatar Spirit was a long-priced third. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Racegoers are in for a treat as the unbeaten A DREAM TO SHARE makes his debut over flights. This son of Muhaarar was a perfect five from five in bumpers including in the Grade 2 at Leopardstown during the Dublin Racing Festival, before landing Grade 1 bumpers at Cheltenham and Punchestown which was mightily impressive. He is very hard to oppose on his first crack at hurdles. Fascile Mode made a good impression when winning on debut in a bumper at Leopardstown over Christmas. He was well behind A Dream To Share in two subsequent contests, but could have a future over hurdles. Qatar Spirit showed more in third at Gowran Park and has the opportunity to pick up more prize money.
This should be a straightforward introduction to hurdles for top-class bumper performer A DREAM TO SHARE. Fellow bumper winner Fascile Mode can chase him home ahead of John McConnell's Solo Flight.
FASCILE MODE, who took on the unbeaten A Dream To Share twice after a debut win at Leopardstown, looks the clear pick

1st (1) (3/1 +40%) Banntown Girl |
3/1(+40%) | (1) Banntown Girl 3/1, 1 win from 3 NH runs this season. 3/1, shaped as though in reasonable form when 10 lengths fifth of 11 to First Dare in handicap hurdle at Navan (15.6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Bit too keen in lady riders handicap latest; remains of interest if settling better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (7/4 +36%) First Dare |
7/4(+36%) | (4) First Dare 7/4, 3/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap hurdle at Navan (15.6f, good to soft) 25 days ago, pushed out. Shortlist material from 6 lb higher. Decisive Navan winner up 6lb but rider's claim brings her into it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (12/1 -20%) Angelsworknovrtime |
12/1(-20%) | (10) Angelsworknovrtime 12/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. Respectable fourth of 17 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 12/1) 40 days ago. Consistent maiden probably on a high enough mark so career-best needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (9/1 -80%) Lovely Reaction |
9/1(-80%) | (8) Lovely Reaction 9/1, Winner in hurdle at Limerick in January. 4/1, good third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy), responding well. Off 6 months. Bred to improve with time but could just lack a bit of sharpness after summer break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (14/1 -75%) Ta Na La |
14/1(-75%) | (9) Ta Na La 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, below form fourth of 10 in maiden at Laytown (7.2f, 18/1) 29 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Makes handicap hurdle debut from a fair-looking mark. Best maiden form on decent ground so won't want too much rain here on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/2 +10%) Dame Rapide |
9/2(+10%) | (2) Dame Rapide 9/2, Winner in hurdle at Ballinrobe in September. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft, 10/3) 4 days ago. Turned out quickly. Got no sort of run on handicap debut at Fairyhouse 4 days ago; quick return and respected. |

7th (3) (66/1 -230%) Hophornbeam |
66/1(-230%) | (3) Hophornbeam 66/1, Latest win in hurdle at Cartmel in June 2022. Seventh of 8 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Sligo (20.6f, good). Off 14 months. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Absent since tailed off at Sligo in August 2022; runs well fresh but still best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (11/1 +45%) Circus Act |
11/1(+45%) | (7) Circus Act 11/1, 16/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, soft) 10 days ago. Can give a good account. Expected to come on for recent comeback run but won't want too much rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (22/1 -83%) Derridae |
22/1(-83%) | (5) Derridae 22/1, Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in December. 10/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy), driven 3 out. Off 7 months. Goes well fresh, back to her best trip so one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (11) (50/1 -52%) Coastguard Lady |
50/1(-52%) | (11) Coastguard Lady 50/1, Tongue strap/cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving W. P. Mullins when fourth of 8 in novice chase (50/1) at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) on debut over fences 26 days ago Back in trip here in first handicap hurdle and still time to improve. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FIRST DARE appeals after a comfortable victory in a ladies' handicap hurdle at Navan last month. She's not the biggest horse in the world, so it looks a shrewd move to book 7lb claimer Tom Harney as his claim more than offsets the 6lb rise she got for that Navan success. Former Limerick winner Lovely Reaction ought to be a factor if fully wound up on her return to action. She was a never-nearer third at Limerick when last seen in March. Dame Rapide wasn't at her best in fifth on soft ground at Fairyhouse on Saturday, so the forecast deluge for Wednesday morning is a concern albeit she is a talented mare.
FIRST DARE was better than ever when doubling her career tally at Navan last month and this revised mark looks well within range. Banntown Girl and Ta Na La head the opposition.
Having won with a bit to spare at Navan recently, FIRST DARE is taken to follow up off a 6lb higher mark

1st (14) (14/1 +13%) Dancing Jeremy |
14/1(+13%) | (14) Dancing Jeremy 14/1, Unseated rider in handicap chase (6/1) at Listowel (20f, soft) 19 days ago. In good form over hurdles prior to that. Not taken lightly. Unseated at first in a chase at Listowel, second on two most recent handicap hurdle runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (9/1 +25%) Gaoth Chuil |
9/1(+25%) | (8) Gaoth Chuil 9/1, Latest win in hurdle at Leopardstown in March. 12/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Aintree (16.5f, good to soft) 180 days ago. Back up in trip. Progressive mare last season, failed to do herself justice at Aintree on final run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (13/2 -86%) Como Park |
13/2(-86%) | (17) Como Park 13/2, Useful 13f winner on Flat. Promise in 3 qualifying runs over hurdles around 2m and his Flat ability suggests there could be plenty more to come now handicapping over longer trips. Consistent on Flat, error-prone on his first two hurdle runs, jumped better at Tramore. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (9/2 -13%) Moonovercloon |
9/2(-13%) | (1) Moonovercloon 9/2, 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in August. Fell in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft, 4/1) 23 days ago looking set to go close. Player if none the worse. Clear with the winner when falling at the final flight at Listowel, has gone up 4lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (16) (9/1 +36%) Clifftop |
9/1(+36%) | (16) Clifftop 9/1, 13/2, respectable third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 23 days ago. Merits consideration. Three-time Flat winner yet to win over hurdles, fair placed form but is quite well exposed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (25/1 +62%) Max Flamingo |
25/1(+62%) | (3) Max Flamingo 25/1, Twentieth of 25 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at this course (23.6f, good to soft) 167 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Better chaser than hurdler, never found his best form in a five-race campaign last season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (18/1 +28%) Garrybello |
18/1(+28%) | (4) Garrybello 18/1, 28/1, creditable 7¾ lengths seventh of 13 to Gold Speed in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 18 days ago. Won twice in France early in his career, not much encouragement from his Irish form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (18) (9/1 +59%) General Clermont |
9/1(+59%) | (18) General Clermont 9/1, Unreliable individual. One win from 31 NH runs. 7/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, soft) 23 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Belatedly opened account with 13l Killarney win, well beaten off revised mark at Listowel. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (11/2 +54%) Fortunedefortunata |
11/2(+54%) | (5) Fortunedefortunata 11/2, Latest win in hurdle at Galway in October. Fourteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, good to soft, 6/1). Off 7 months. Up in trip. Made an excellent start for this stable at Galway last October, failed to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (6) (20/1 +50%) Jacksons Gold |
20/1(+50%) | (6) Jacksons Gold 20/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16.2f, soft, 28/1) 10 days ago. Back up in trip. Off for almost a year before a recent Tipperary run, unlikely to feature on that evidence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (20/1 -67%) Ms Agartha Yeats |
20/1(-67%) | (11) Ms Agartha Yeats 20/1, Once-raced winner over hurdles. 50/1, won 14-runner novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, heavy) on NH debut, driven out. Off 11 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. 50-1 when making a winning debut in a maiden at Wexford 12 months ago, not seen since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (15) (12/1 +25%) Mary's Pride |
12/1(+25%) | (15) Mary's Pride 12/1, Creditable fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Fairyhouse (16f, soft). Off 6 months. Up in trip. Has shown his best form at his trainer's local Fairyhouse track, good fifth there in April. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (12) (33/1 +18%) Imperial Ruler |
33/1(+18%) | (12) Imperial Ruler 33/1, Eleventh of 15 in handicap hurdle at Bellewstown (20.4f, good, 22/1) 42 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Fairyhouse maiden winner, has failed to make an impact in handicaps, tongue-tie on now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (9) (33/1 -18%) Sir Bob |
33/1(-18%) | (9) Sir Bob 33/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Gowran (20.3f, heavy) on reappearance 12 days ago. Should be sharper for the run but this trip is on the short side for one stays marathon trips over fences. Much better known as a chaser these days, struggled over hurdles on seasonal debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (13) (33/1 -18%) It Could Be You |
33/1(-18%) | (13) It Could Be You 33/1, Fell in handicap chase at Naas (20f, good to soft, 17/2). Off 7 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Tough to assess at present. Second in this race at 20-1 last year, five subsequent runs over fences, off since March. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (7) (14/1 -133%) Tom McGreevy |
14/1(-133%) | (7) Tom McGreevy 14/1, Unreliable individual. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good, 11/4) 33 days ago. Up in trip. Confirmed his liking for ground with a slight ease with Kilbeggan win, 6lb higher now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (10) (16/1 -78%) Hereditary Rule |
16/1(-78%) | (10) Hereditary Rule 16/1, Useful chaser, including a course win in April. Might have needed the run when below par at Galway 3 months later. Has a lower mark over hurdles. Course 2m5f handicap chase winner at the festival, potentially very well treated. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HEREDITARY RULE could be worth chancing off a mark of 114. He is rated 24lb higher over fences and has obviously been keeping good company in that discipline including when winning a Grade A handicap chase at Punchestown in April. He notably won on his last outing over hurdles at Downpatrick in September last year. Moonovercloon fell at the final flight when joined in Listowel, but certainly has prospects on his best form. Gold Speed kept on well to score in another race at Listowel and shouldn't be underestimated off 5lb higher, while Kilbeggan winner Tom McGreevy is up in trip and has his chance. Ms Agartha Yeats would be of interest as a maiden hurdle winner on debut at Wexford, however, she has been off for almost a year which tempers enthusiasm.
Lots of runners but COMO PARK still rather stands out from an opening handicap hurdle mark which could prove very lenient judged on Flat ability. The blinkers he wore to good effect on the Flat are now in place for the first time over hurdles and this longer trip should also be in his favour so there are plenty of reasons to be positive. Moonovercloon, Clifftop, Hereditary Rule, who is well treated on chase form, and Ms Agartha Yeats should be involved in the battle for minor honours.
If suffering no ill effects from a poor run at the Galway festival, HEREDITARY RULE may be able to take advantage of his hurdles mark

1st (1) (0.36/1 +28%) Hercule Du Seuil |
0.36/1(+28%) | (1) Hercule Du Seuil 0.36/1, Promising sort. 4 wins from 5 runs this season. Career best when winning 5-runner Gr 3 chase at Roscommon (16.5f, soft, 2/5) 16 days ago by 12 lengths from Calico, hard held. Will continue to take plenty of besting. Beaten by Senecia at Ballinrobe but has won four in a row since, can extend the sequence. |

2nd (5) (12/1 -33%) Senecia |
12/1(-33%) | (5) Senecia 12/1, Useful chaser. 1 win from 3 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Ballinrobe in May. 14/1, fell heavily in Like A Butterfly Novices' Chase at Tipperary (20.1f, soft) 10 days ago. Beat Hercule Du Seuil at Ballinrobe in May, everything points to that rival in the rematch. |

3rd (3) (4/1 -33%) Lucid Dreams |
4/1(-33%) | (3) Lucid Dreams 4/1, Useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Career best when winning 8-runner novice chase (6/5) at Sligo (17.6f, heavy) on debut over fences 14 days ago, easily. Plenty more to come over fences. Winner of four of his last six races, won with plenty to spare on chasing debut at Sligo. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (9/1 +44%) Path D'oroux |
9/1(+44%) | (4) Path D'oroux 9/1, Useful hurdler. Tailed-off fourth of 5 to Hercule Du Seuil in Gr 3 chase at Roscommon (16.5f, soft, 7/2) on debut over fences 16 days ago. This will reveal more. Totally uncompetitive when second-favourite for Roscommon event won by Hercule De Seuil. |

5th (6) (80/1 -21%) Hazelhatch Lady |
80/1(-21%) | (6) Hazelhatch Lady 80/1, Fair chaser. 2 wins from 5 runs this season.

Completely tailed off when 66-1 in Roscommon race won by Hercule Du Seuil. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (150/1 -275%) Dragon Rock |
150/1(-275%) | (2) Dragon Rock 150/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Unseated rider in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good, 4/1) 109 days ago. Down in trip. Maiden hurdle winner, jumping a concern based on his two chase attempts in Britain. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HERCULE DU SEUIL will be a prohibitive price, but ought to deliver. Willie Mullins' chaser ran up a sequence of four clear-cut victories between May and September including at Grade 3 level on his last couple of starts at Galway and Roscommon. He won at Grade 2 level over hurdles and has really taken to chasing, so there should be plenty more races to be won with him. Mullins landed this race last year with another odds-on shot. Senecia actually beat Hercule Du Seuil at Ballinrobe in May before the latter began his winning run. He fell in a Grade 3 in Tipperary at the start of the month, but wasn't beaten at the time. Lucid Dreams arrives in good humour from a novice hurdle win at Killarney and a debut chasing success at Sligo. Trainer John Ryan thinks a lot of him and he should be in the mix even though he has plenty to find on form with Hercule Du Seuil.
HERCULE DU SEUIL's bold jumping has already taken him a fair way over fences and he's strongly fancied to successfully concede weight all round and record win number 5 over the larger obstacles before having his sights raised. Lucid Dreams is the forecast choice.
With four consecutive wins to his name since beaten by Senecia at Ballinrobe in May, HERCULE DE SEUIL is in a strong position

1st (2) (1.88/1 +37%) Minella Indo |
1.88/1(+37%) | (2) Minella Indo 1.88/1, Notched his first success since taking 2021 Gold Cup when narrowly landing Tramore Grade 3 on his reappearance in January. Ran no sort of race at Cheltenham subsequently but would be no surprise to see return to form here, 2021 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero, won at Tramore on reappearance last season, Gold Cup flop. |

2nd (6) (11/1 +45%) Hurricane Georgie |
11/1(+45%) | (6) Hurricane Georgie 11/1, Below form in recent starts, including when well-beaten fourth of 6 in PWC Champion Chase (8/1) at Gowran (20f, heavy) 11 days ago. Has plenty on her plate again here. Little impact in valuable handicaps this season, struggled in Grade 2 event at Gowran. |

3rd (3) (6/1 -71%) Delta Work |
6/1(-71%) | (3) Delta Work 6/1, Smart performer who won the Cross Country Chase for the second year running at Cheltenham before unseating on second circuit in Grand National. Can go well fresh and must enter calculations. Now established as a top cross-country performer, possibly vulnerable in a race like this. |

4th (5) (2.75/1 +80%) Panda Boy |
2.75/1(+80%) | (5) Panda Boy 2.75/1, Course winner who ended last campaign with creditable fifth of 27 in Irish Grand National at Fairyhouse. Faces a stiff task first time up here, however. Course winner over 3m early last season; very useful saying handicapper, tough task here. |

5th (1) (11/4 -99%) Conflated |
11/4(-99%) | (1) Conflated 11/4, Notched his second Grade 1 success over fences when landing the Savills at Leopardstown last Christmas and performed to an even higher standard when third in the Gold Cup next time. Ran flat at Aintree on final start of campaign but holds strong claims on return here. Third in last season's Cheltenham Gold Cup, does not have a great record when fresh. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A cracking Grade 3 contest. MINELLA INDO won on seasonal reappearance at the start of his last campaign and could repeat the feat here. The 10-year-old gelding is well versed in Grade 1 staying chases and has a good record coming off a break. Gordon Elliott has taken the last three renewals of this race and fields three horses in his bid to capture it again. His Gold Cup third Conflated is sure to be popular and has bright prospects off top-weight. His stablemate, Delta Work, won the Cross Country Chase at last season's Cheltenham Festival and shouldn't be lacking in stamina. Willie Mullins' Fighter Allen has race fitness on his side from a win at Sligo last month and could be a big price against the returning 'big guns'.
CONFLATED has to concede weight all round but a repetition of the form of his Gold Cup third will see him prove hard to beat. Minella Indo scored on his return last term and is narrowly preferred to Delta Work for the forecast spot.
Despite reservations about his ability to produce his best form when fresh CONFLATED may enhance his trainer's fine record in this race

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HASCOEUR CLERMONT signalled that a win may not be far away when third in Downpatrick. He kept on nicely up the stiff finish to come home just behind the two horses who dead-heated for first place. It is heartening that the horse well behind him in fourth took the honours at Sligo on his next start. He Fitz In could be considered unlucky in a Sligo handicap chase as he fell at the last fence when holding a one-length lead. Prior to that, he delivered over flights in Navan so he has certainly struck form and merits plenty of respect. Likable Chancer has filled the runner-up berth in staying races at Listowel and Killarney, so has a decent chance off a light weight. Movie King was scratched from Downpatrick last Friday because of soft ground and the forecast rain wouldn't be to his liking.
LIKABLE CHANCER has been knocking on the door of late and should go well again. He Fitz In was around 2 lengths up when falling at the last at Sligo 2 weeks ago so rates a big threat if none the worse, while Midnight Our Fred should do better now handicapping.
Unlucky at Sligo recently, HE FITZ IN has been raised 5lb but can gain compensation

Remember'hesmine |
(8) (50/1 -25%)50/1(-25%) | (8) Remember'hesmine 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Tenth of 16 in bumper at this course (16.4f, good to soft, 100/1) on NH debut 169 days ago. Plenty keen when midfield on C&D debut at the festival; may need more time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (2) (0.91/1 +0%) My Great Mate |
0.91/1(+0%) | (2) My Great Mate 0.91/1, Improve from debut when won 14-runner bumper at Galway (16.6f, soft) 72 days ago. Sets the standard and could step up again, so leading claims. Galway win franked since by the runner-up; should progress, especially if settling better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (2.75/1 -10%) Fleur In The Park |
2.75/1(-10%) | (1) Fleur In The Park 2.75/1, Won 8-runner bumper at Roscommon (15.9f, soft, 13/8) on NH debut 16 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Open to improvement and likely to feature. Good attitude to win on Roscommon debut, stiffer stamina test will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (18/1 -13%) Killultagh Fox |
18/1(-13%) | (5) Killultagh Fox 18/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Dam (h119), 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m), half-sister to smart hurdler/high-class chaser (stayed 3m) Killultagh Vic. Out of half-sister to Killultagh Vic; debutant probably best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (40/1 +20%) Spotthedifference |
40/1(+20%) | (11) Spotthedifference 40/1, Once-raced maiden. 20¼ lengths eighth of 14 to My Great Mate in bumper (100/1) at Galway (16.6f, soft) on NH debut 72 days ago. 20l off My Great Mate on debut at Galway over the summer; unlikely to overturn that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (11/2 -10%) Beauforts Storm |
11/2(-10%) | (3) Beauforts Storm 11/2, Winner in bumper at Cork in July. 11/2, fourth of 12 in bumper at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Should be on the premises. Gold-plated place claims, needs to improve to play major role. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (18/1 +18%) Gold Fever |
18/1(+18%) | (4) Gold Fever 18/1, Galileo Gold gelding. Half-brother to 7f winner abroad Karlon. Dam unraced. Should have the speed for this sort of test, so not one to rule out. Flat-bred probably best watched on bumper debut unless market indicates otherwise. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (12/1 +52%) Power Factor |
12/1(+52%) | (7) Power Factor 12/1, Silvano gelding. Brother to 7f-9f winner Platinum Sky and half-brother multiple 6f-1m winner Princess Calla. Dam also multiple winner on Flat in South Africa. Worth a market check. Cheaply bought but quite well-related South African bred; market best guide on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (50/1 -52%) Bigira |
50/1(-52%) | (12) Bigira 50/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in bumper at Tipperary (16f, good to soft, 22/1) 97 days ago. Encouraging Roscommon debut but well held on quicker ground at Tipperary. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (6) (200/1 -33%) Paymelater |
200/1(-33%) | (6) Paymelater 200/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in bumper (40/1) at Sligo (18.5f, good to soft) on NH debut 49 days ago. Too keen when tailed off on Sligo debut; can only be watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (150/1 +0%) Silent Dawn |
150/1(+0%) | (9) Silent Dawn 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifteenth of 16 in novice hurdle (33/1) at Roscommon (16.2f, good) on NH debut 121 days ago. Makes bumpers debut. Tailed off when a 33-1 shot at Roscommon in June on debut and hard to recommend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (16/1 +84%) Splendid Choice |
16/1(+84%) | (10) Splendid Choice 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, thirteenth of 24 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, soft). Off 6 months. Makes bumpers debut. Two runs in maiden hurdles last season poor; can only be watched now returning in a bumper. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MY GREAT MATE travelled well to win on testing ground at Galway which will stand him in good stead for this assignment. The horse he beat into second came out and took a Fairyhouse bumper last Saturday. This grey gelding is a half-brother to a Grade 1 winning hurdler and should have a bright future. Fleur In The Park rewarded plenty of support on debut at Roscommon last month and looks a nice prospect. He went off favourite and stuck to his task well to get up in the closing stages. Jockey Adam Ryan's 7lb claim is a bonus in bumpers. Beauforts Storm won a Cork bumper in July, but probably wasn't at her best when beaten into fourth when last seen in Down Royal. She has a part to play, though.
MY GREAT MATE stepped forward from his debut to open his account at the second attempt at Galway 72 days ago and, with the scope for better still, he's preferred to Fleur In The Park, who arrives on the back of an impressive success first time out. Beauforts Storm is best of the remainder.
The three previous winners look set to dominate, MY GREAT MATE holding the strongest form credentials

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.
