BATTLE OF RIDGEWAY was a winner over hurdles when last seen at Clonmel in May and this looks like a nice starting point for him over fences. The Califet gelding scored on his handicap debut on his last outing and went up to a mark of 101 for that victory. That means he is a pound below the limit for this restricted contest. The fact that he has point-to-point experience is a plus. Tomas O Maille is on the top mark of 102 over hurdles and again this is a perfect place to start him off over fences. He was consistent without winning over the smaller obstacles. Uncle Gerhard was placed in a couple of handicap hurdles in the spring and is another that has to be considered back over fences, having been a fair enough fifth on his sole outing here back in March 2022.

TOMAS O MAILLE has been in consistent form over hurdles and seems a likely type to take to the larger obstacles, so he gets the tentative vote in a tricky contest. Fellow chasing debutant Battle of Ridgeway is a danger and Battle Away should take a hand if she can back up her latest effort.

A visor worked well on ITSALONGLONGROAD at Tramore three weeks ago and if he comes here in the same vein of form he can follow up off a 7lb higher mark. The Lawman gelding posted a convincing seven length success then, when making all, and could be hard to peg back again. Peckham Springs chased the selection home last time and on 6lb better terms he is entitled to get a bit closer now. His trainer Dermot McLoughlin also runs Look Dont Touch, who has been knocking on the door and could pick up prize-money again.

DUNDANIEL shaped better than the distance beaten suggests after 6 months after at Cork 18 days ago, let down by his jumping towards the end, and this low-mileage 8-y-o remains of interest. Itsalonglongroad ended his losing run fitted with this headgear at Tramore so is another to consider along with Name Me Famous.

MOLLYS MANGO was well beaten when last seen at Leopardstown in February but that did come in a hot Grade 2 mares bumper won by Fun Fun Fun. The Clovis Du Berlais mare had been third in Listed company prior to that, having also won at Cork previously, and is a smart prospect for jumping this term. This looks like a nice starting point. Missus Beeton already has solid placed form over timber, having been third at Listowel, and could be the one to give the selection most to do. Idol, a bumper winner for Willie Mullins last year before switching to Sam Curling, was fourth in a strong maiden hurdle, won by Fascile Mode, at Punchestown last month and could get closer now in against her own sex.

MOLLYS MANGO showed fairly useful winning form in bumpers and now she has her sights lowered can make a winning start in this sphere for her top yard. Sidiriya could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, building on her Kilbeggan fourth. Missus Beeton also has the form to have a say.

DESTIVELLE has shown improvement on her last two hurdle starts and travelled well for Daniel King when second over C&D last month. She was nicely clear of third home Outdoor Mozzy and can go place better off just a 1lb higher mark. The winner of that Thurles handicap had previously chased home Duke Otto at Tramore and Pat Flynn's charge has to enter calculations off a 6lb higher mark after that breakthrough success which was achieved on heavy ground. Brownstone was another to gain a first win last time out when scoring on soft ground at Fairyhouse and Keith Donoghue, riding so well at the moment, now takes over in the saddle on his brother's charge.

DESTIVELLE got as close as she ever has to winning a race here a fortnight ago and granted better luck in-running, Shane Ryder's filly is fancied to open her account at the expense of Brownstone, who got off the mark at Fairyhouse last month and could well kick on now up and running. Herculaneum and last-time-out winner Duke Otto are just another couple worth considering in what looks a wide-open handicap.

A course bumper winner on soft ground last year, MITIVA is interesting here after finishing fourth at Fairyhouse last month. That creditable display came after four months off and stepping up in trip may well suit the daughter of Motivator who is closely related to useful staying chaser Mister Coffey. Costanucci has won three of her last five starts and handled testing ground when winning at Clonmel last time. She's up another 8lb for that success but is on a roll at present and may be capable of further progress. Atimetodream was a ready winner over this trip on her second handicap start at Listowel. Henry de Bromhead's five-year-old has taken a sharp rise in the ratings but is well bred and there could be more to come.

ATIMETODREAM impoved when scoring in good style at the second time of asking in handicap company at Listowel and, still unexposed, she looks capable of following up off this 9 lb higher mark. She may have most to fear from Mitiva, who wasn't knocked about when fourth at Fairyhouse and this step up in trip looks a good move. Phils Choice is third choice ahead of the hat-trick seeking Costanuci and Sea Aster.

SHANNON ROYALE won a bumper on heavy ground at Clonmel in April and was a short-priced favourite on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse last month. Gordon Elliott's charge was turned over by a 107-rated rival but having that run under his belt will be an asset as he steps up in trip on testing ground. Lecky Watson's fourth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham is the standout piece of form but he was a long way below that when a beaten favourite at the Punchestown festival. He could easily outclass these rivals but may be vulnerable on seasonal and hurdling debut. Jonathan Sweeney has a small string but his runners always merit respect and Rushmount, runner-up in both point-to-point starts in the spring, could go well on rules debut.

LECKY WATSON quickly reached a useful level in bumpers, producing his best effort when finishing an unlucky fourth in the Champion Bumper at the Festival in March and he gets the nod to make it first time lucky in this sphere back from 6 months off. Shannon Royale is another useful prospect and is feared most, ahead of Secrecies of Stone.

The big two are Champion Bumper fourth Lecky Watson and SHANNON ROYALE who has the benefit of a recent run over hurdles

A couple of these have shown a fair bit of ability but newcomer CHARLIE BUCKETT may have their measure under Patrick Mullins. The Champs Elysees gelding is out of a bumper winner who is a half-sister to useful jumper Riviera Sun. If You Let Me is a point-to-point winner and is related to bumper winners. He was too keen when sixth in a Galway festival bumper but that race has worked out well and Derek O'Connor is a significant booking. Tankardstown Lady ran well to be fourth on rules debut at Fairyhouse. She will be fitter for that outing and gets plenty of weight from the likely principals.

CHARLIE BUCKETT is bred to come into his own at further, but he's out of a bumper winner and in a yard that has an excellent record in this sphere, so makes plenty of appeal. Tankardstown Diva and If You Let Me can show the benefit of their initial outings and are feared most.

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.
