13:50 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Runner-up on his two most recent starts, THE MEDIATOR can register a first win over flights. A bumper winner at Down Royal on his racecourse debut back in 2021, the Gordon Elliott-trained gelding has yet to add to that sole success. However, having shown promise both over hurdles and on the Flat of late, the seven-year-old should get his head back in front here. Silas Marner stayed on from a long way back when fourth behind the selection at Gowran Park last time. If ridden closer to the pace on this occasion, the Charles O'Brien-trained gelding can get closer. Recent Listowel bumper winner Cappucino also has to be respected on his return to hurdling.

THE MEDIATOR is running consistently well, and this looks a golden opportunity for Gordon Elliott's 7-y-o to belatedly open his account at the expense of Cappucino, who was allowed the run of the race when getting off the mark on reappearance in a Listowel bumper recently and now has another crack over obstacles. Silas Marner and Nelson Muntz are another couple of interest.

Having looked an improved horse when winning on return in a Listowel bumper recently, CAPPUCINO(nap) can back that up over hurdles.

An emphatic winner at Tramore last time, FIRST DARE can follow up for trainer Liz Doyle. Having finished runner-up in last year's renewal of this race, the six-year-old is sure to have had a repeat bid as a target for some time. Despite being 8lb higher than last time, the six-year-old won with such authority that she can shrug off that rise. Having been reluctant to race at Tipperary earlier this month, Vischio was eventually pulled up when detached in rear. A three-time winner over hurdles, the Dick Donohoe-trained mare is seriously well handicapped relative to her Flat form. Lightly raced over jumps, Hasten Slowly is open to further improvement.

FIRST DARE took another step forward on the back of a break when a ready winner at Tramore 4 weeks ago and she may well be up to defying the assessor again on that evidence. Ta Na La, who chased home the selection that day is a threat once more on these revised terms. Hasten Slowly and Cash The Cheque are others fancied to be in the mix.

Though more effective in testing conditions VISCHIO is well handicapped relative to her Flat form and can be excused her last run

In-form gelding PRAY TELL can complete the hat-trick under James Smith. A winner at Kilbeggan in early September, the Desmond Kenneally-trained eight-year-old followed up with an impressive success at the Listowel Festival. A strong traveller, he should relish this tight track where he can come from off a likely fast pace. The front-running Baltic Bird is sure to make this a proper test under Oakley Brown. Runner-up in the Q.R. Handicap at Galway, the Bill Durkan-trained five-year-old remains nicely treated. Recent Gowran Park winner Park Of Kings arrives here in good form, so has to be respected for the Paul Nolan stable.

PRAY TELL turned a competitive-looking handicap at Listowel into a rout 3 weeks ago and while the assessor has reacted with a 10 lb rise it may not be enough to prevent the hat-trick. Park of Kings and Barry Lyndon also arrive on the up so head the opposition.

A chance is taken on MISSUS BEETON to turn the tables on Park Of Kings from last time.

Twice a winner over hurdles at this venue, MONBEG PARK holds strong claims for trainer Sean Thomas Doyle. Having got off the mark over fences at Wexford in July, the seven-year-old was runner-up to a potentially useful novice back at that same track recently. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Jordans is of definite interest on just his second start in this country. A four-time winner in his native France, the five-year-old made a pleasing Irish debut when chasing home a smart stablemate at Listowel. He should come on plenty from what was just his third run over fences. Willie Mullins' mare Pink In The Park is at her best on good ground so once the rain stays away, she has every chance.

Not the strongest of graded contests, with PINK IN THE PARK just about the pick having got back on track when runner-up at Listowel 3 weeks ago. Jordans and Monbeg Park are feared most.

Twice successful over hurdles at this venue, MONBEG PARK is a second-season novice who can put his experience to good use here

Henry de Bromhead's MINELLA INDO landed this race on his seasonal reappearance last year and could repeat the feat. He was last seen finishing third in the Grand National in April which was a very creditable effort. The admirable King George hero Hewick has tended to need his first run back, so may not be at his sharpest on his first outing since May. Visionarian is race-fit after winning a Grade 2 at Gowran Park recently, while Gordon Elliott's Minella Crooner and Conflated aren't out of it either.

CONFLATED needed the run when well held in this last year but will take some stopping on these terms if anywhere near his best this time around. Fellow Grade 1 winners Minella Indo and Hewick are the obvious threats.

On account of his fine record when fresh, it could pay to side with MINELLA INDO to repeat last year's win in this event.

DECIMATION represents an in-form stable and has prospects after a good run in second at Listowel. He was clearly outgunned by the winner, but the money came for him that day in a better class of race and he was nicely clear of the remainder. Cafe Del Mar has been hurdling for the most part but, the one time she was sighted over fences, she finished a good second at Wexford. Ardaghs Choice finished a place behind her in third at Wexford and is noted, while Greenway Machine is an honest veteran.

In an open race, it could be worth chancing READ TO RETURN, who figures off a handy mark and has the assistance of Derek O'Connor. Decimation and Cafe Del Mar head the list of dangers.

DECIMATION ran a solid race on only his fourth chase start last time so can go one better today.

A tricky race. FASCILE MODE landed two hurdle races at this track on his way to a peak mark of 133 in that sphere and catches the eye on chasing debut. Danny Mullins will give him a good steer. Hypotenus went off fast in Sligo and was reeled in after the final fence. He ran well for a long way, though, and could be dangerous off the front again. The suspicion is that there is more to come from Nine Graces, who hasn't put it all together in her two races over fences to date. Touch Me Not, Moon D'orange and Wandering Rocks are others pitching for prize money.

A few of these offer potential but NINE GRACES has some useful winning form to her name over hurdles and has shaped well on both her runs over fences to date too so looks the way to go. Hypotenus also enters the equation on the back of his very good Sligo second, with chase debutants Touch Me Not, Fascile Mode and Moon d'Orange also worthy of consideration.

TOUCH ME NOT got off the mark over hurdles at Tramore when last seen and could do better in this sphere.

JERRY FROM KERRY looks a likely sort for Emmet Mullins after getting off the mark in a Ballinrobe bumper. He stayed on well to post a four-length victory there and the runner-up franked the form in no uncertain terms with a clear-cut success in Listowel. Friary Road showed his resolution to strike in Listowel and has to come under consideration for Ted Walsh, while Whinney Hill ought to have a future after being beaten by a neck in a point-to-point in February. He has switched to Gordon Elliott for his racecourse career and a market check is essential.

JERRY FROM KERRY confirmed debut promise when beating a subsequent winner at Ballinrobe and he can defy a penalty at the main expense of likely newcomer Whinney Hill.

The runner-up had franked the form of the Ballinrobe race won by JERRY FROM KERRY and he looks capable of deying a penalty

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.
