1st (16) (15/2 +63%) Cullenwaine |
15/2(+63%) | (16) Cullenwaine 15/2, One win from 23 NH runs. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap chase (22/1) at Punchestown (24.3f, good) 36 days ago. Others preferred. Solid run despite some poor jumping in a 3m Fairyhouse handicap last month; can contend. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (6/1 -9%) Brandt |
6/1(-9%) | (1) Brandt 6/1, Winner over fences at Roscommon in August. 7/2, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (24.1f, good to soft) 50 days ago, never travelling well. Once to consider returned to this sphere. Back over fences after good Down Royal run; unlikely to be far away in a winnable contest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (14/1 +13%) Game And Glory |
14/1(+13%) | (11) Game And Glory 14/1, 13/2, last of 7 in handicap hurdle at this course (20.2f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and back up in trip. Looks competitive on form. Not at her best in a mares' handicap hurdle here last month and the trip is an unknown. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (14/1 -40%) Pitwood Road |
14/1(-40%) | (2) Pitwood Road 14/1, Hurdles winner. 22/1, tenth of 15 in novice chase at Clonmel (17.3f, soft) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip for her handicap debut in this sphere. Soundly beaten in a pair of beginners chases but interesting thrown into a handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (9) (17/2 +6%) Walk In Time |
17/2(+6%) | (9) Walk In Time 17/2, Fourth of 7 in novice chase (5/1) at this course (25.1f, good to soft) on debut over fences 22 days ago. One to consider on handicap debut in this sphere. Made a reasonable chase debut despite some ropey jumping over C&D last month;not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (11/2 +39%) Ballagh Star |
11/2(+39%) | (8) Ballagh Star 11/2, Winner at Sligo in October. 10/1, respectable sixth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.8f, soft) 11 days ago. Opposable back in this sphere. Below his best last twice although ran okay in a Punchestown handicap hurdle last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (10) (25/1 -14%) Zolpharine |
25/1(-14%) | (10) Zolpharine 25/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. 14/1, thirteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16.2f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and significantly back up in trip. Maiden hurdle winner last year but mostly quite modest form this year; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (12) (66/1 -371%) Eddies Pride |
66/1(-371%) | (12) Eddies Pride 66/1, Latest win in chase at Clonmel in April. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap chase at Wexford (25.2f, heavy, 10/1). Entitled to need the run following 7 months off. Beaten in a Wexford handicap in May when last seen; may need it and would prefer it softer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (25/1 -79%) Just Three |
25/1(-79%) | (3) Just Three 25/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fell in handicap chase (15/2) at Cork (24f, good) 69 days ago (broke blood vessel). Now tried in blinkers. Fell in a 3m handicap chase at Cork in October when last seen; new headgear tried. |

25/1(+50%) | (15) Important Message 25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. 80/1, tenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.8f, soft) 11 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Not disgraced in a 3m handicap hurdle at Punchestown last week; others much more likely. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (14) (14/1 +0%) Mustameet Secret |
14/1(+0%) | (14) Mustameet Secret 14/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. 5/1, 9¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Malinas Glory in handicap chase at this course (22.4f, good) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. 16-race maiden; not beaten far behind Malinas Glory here last month but more needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (9/2 -80%) Malinas Glory |
9/2(-80%) | (5) Malinas Glory 9/2, One win from 23 NH runs. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap chase at this course (22.4f, good, 5/2) 23 days ago, staying on well. Big player. Step up in trip unlikely to be an issue; good claims of following up under a 6lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (13) (9/1 +44%) Bearwithmenow |
9/1(+44%) | (13) Bearwithmenow 9/1, One win from 26 NH runs. Pulled up in handicap chase at Punchestown (24.3f, good, 8/1) 36 days ago. Others preferred. Good Fairyhouse run followed by a very poor effort at Punchestown; has the ability. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (16/1 +36%) The Little Yank |
16/1(+36%) | (4) The Little Yank 16/1, Thirty three runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 13 in handicap chase at this course (18.3f, good to soft, 40/1) 22 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and he needs to bounce back. Completely out of form since returning to action in October; down to a nice mark though. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BRANDT has been running well in Ireland this summer and although a lazy type, is ideally suited by this stamina test. He failed to capitalise on a lower hurdles rating at Down Royal last month but did, eventually, finish that race quite well, suggesting this extra distance will suit. Previously he was an unlucky loser of a Sligo chase and is helped by good ground. Malinas Glory has been raised 6lb for a recent course win but again has underfoot conditions and a staying distance in his favour. Walk In Time ran well on chase debut over course-and-distance last month, with that race's winner scoring again subsequently. She debuts in a handicap chase and stays well.
MALINAS GLORY opened his chase account in pretty decisive fashion here last time and a 6 lb rise is unlikely to be enough to prevent him from following up. He may have most to fear from Walk In Time, who wasn't disgraced on debut in this sphere and she's on a fair mark. Brandt is also worth a second look.
The selection is MALINAS GLORY after a decisive win over 2m6f here last month. A 6lb rise may not be enough to stop him

1st (1) (10/1 -122%) Prairie Dancer |
10/1(-122%) | (1) Prairie Dancer 10/1, Useful dual purpose performer who opened his account over fences in 6-runner Downpatrick maiden (19.5f) in August. Well held in pair of big field handicaps back on Flat subsequently and return to chasing/on handicap debut in this sphere needs to have positive effect. Tailed off in recent Flat runs but won beginners' when last seen over jumps; ground fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (13/2 -8%) That's About Right |
13/2(-8%) | (6) That's About Right 13/2, Fair winner at 22f over hurdles. 5/1, found race falling into his lap when winning 3-runner novice chase at this course (18.3f, good) 23 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut and this almost certainly more demanding. Off the mark at second attempt over fences in 3-runner beginners; longer trip is fine. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (9) (6/4 +70%) Prince Of Air |
6/4(+70%) | (9) Prince Of Air 6/4, First run since leaving P. J. Rothwell when career best when winning 13-runner handicap chase (9/2) at this course (18.3f, good to soft) 22 days ago, going with enthusiasm. 2nd win over fences on yard debut last month, shaping like trip would suit; 1lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (10/3 +58%) Caesar Rock |
10/3(+58%) | (3) Caesar Rock 10/3, Boasts plenty of experience over fences but let down by rare jumping lapse when falling 4 out in a maiden here (22.3f) 4 weeks ago. Type to bounce back quickly but he remains without a win in this sphere. 0-18 (fences); in front when falling 4 out latest; shaping like turn may be near prior. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (11/1 -22%) Kilashee |
11/1(-22%) | (7) Kilashee 11/1, 5 wins from 16 runs this season. Latest win in chase at Roscommon in September. Creditable third of 12 in handicap chase at Clonmel (18.3f, soft, 12/1) 18 days ago. Not taken lightly. Hat-trick over timber earlier in year; chase win in September; h'capper may have caught up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (7/1 +30%) Getabelle |
7/1(+30%) | (10) Getabelle 7/1, Dual hurdles winner who produced best effort of the present campaign when third of 7 in handicap chase at this course (22.4f, good) on debut over fences 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Ease back in trip won't inconvenience her on that evidence if she can build on that effort. Dual hurdle winner; showed she may be as good over fences when 3rd last month; 3lb wrong. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (4) (14/1 -27%) Emancipator |
14/1(-27%) | (4) Emancipator 14/1, Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in December 2023. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.3f, heavy) in March, no threat from 4 out. Absent since but he boasts a decent record fresh for this yard, so interesting if the market spoke in his favour back over fences. Gained 3rd win over fences last season and interesting on return with a good record fresh. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A chance is taken that PRINCE ZALTAR, who is wearing first-time cheekpieces, will be ready following a year off, as he is well handicapped in this sphere. This three-time winner was runner-up in an Aintree hurdle off a mark of 121 last December, he has competed in just two chases but finished a good second on his latest effort and is well suited by conditions. His trainer also runs That's About Right, who won here last month when taking advantage of front-running favourite Boldog bursting a blood vessel. Nonetheless, That's About Right showed ability and had previously done well over hurdles. Prairie Dancer has conditions in his favour but has top weight, while Prince Of Air won a lesser race here last month.
Claims can be made for plenty, with the narrow vote in favour of SEQUESTERED. He displayed definite encouragement on 2 of his 3 runs in maiden contests since switching to this sphere and there could yet be more to come now handicapping. Battle of Ridgeway and Prince Zaltar are a couple of others fancied to make their mark.
Preference is for the recent winner PRINCE OF AIR who won here last month on yard debut and there could still be more to come

1st (1) (3/1 +40%) Bayrann |
3/1(+40%) | (1) Bayrann 3/1, Fair hurdler. 28/1, good third of 14 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.6f, soft) 11 days ago. Can remain competitive. Good run at Punchestown last week; good chance of getting into the shake-up here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (18) (16/1 -100%) Zoomtime |
16/1(-100%) | (18) Zoomtime 16/1, 18/1, first run since leaving Ross O'Sullivan when last of 22 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, soft) 13 days ago. Beaten a long way in a Cork handicap two weeks ago after 14 months off; hard to assess. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (13) (100/1 -300%) Herja |
100/1(-300%) | (13) Herja 100/1, Policy Maker filly. Dam, placed in bumpers/lightly-raced hurdler, half-sister to bumper winner/fair hurdler (2m winner) Maid From Milan. Wears tongue strap. Sports a hood and tongue-tie on her debut; best watched. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (6/1 -9%) Colonel Nelson |
6/1(-9%) | (4) Colonel Nelson 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Bit below form eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (19.5f, good to soft, 4/1) 5 days ago. Failed to stay over 2m3f at Naas on Monday; should fare better here over over this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (7/1 +30%) Tumuch |
7/1(+30%) | (9) Tumuch 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Tenth of 19 in novice hurdle (28/1) at Punchestown (19.1f, soft) 11 days ago. Not out of this on third-place finish prior to that. Drop back in trip might well suit and looks well capable of getting into the frame. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (19) (66/1 +0%) Gold Fever |
66/1(+0%) | (19) Gold Fever 66/1, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, first run since leaving Noel Meade when last of 10 in novice hurdle at this course (15.9f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 22 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. RESERVE. First reserve; last of ten on his stable bow in a C&D maiden hurdle last month; hood tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (100/1 +20%) I'm Flattered |
100/1(+20%) | (14) I'm Flattered 100/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Sixth of 7 in maiden (100/1) at this course (16.4f, good) 72 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Well beaten in a Naas bumper and a trio of Flat maidens; hard to make a case for. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (150/1 -20%) Monslatt |
150/1(-20%) | (7) Monslatt 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, heavy, 150/1), pulled up before 2 out. Off 10 months. Showed little or nothing in three maiden hurdles last season; makes no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (150/1 -20%) Ben Purple |
150/1(-20%) | (2) Ben Purple 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Last of 10 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, good to soft, 125/1) on hurdles bow 44 days ago. Failed to beat a rival home on hurdling debut at Clonmel last month; makes no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (16) (66/1 -313%) Midnight Fairy |
66/1(-313%) | (16) Midnight Fairy 66/1, Soldier of Fortune mare. Dam (h109) 2½m hurdle winner. One of two for the stable here and likely to improve for whatever she does today. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (6) (125/1 -89%) Dunany Point |
125/1(-89%) | (6) Dunany Point 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.4f, soft, 125/1) 18 days ago. Soundly beaten in a pair of maiden hurdles; needs this for a handicap mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (200/1 -60%) Zentopia |
200/1(-60%) | (10) Zentopia 200/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, fourteenth of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.2f, heavy) 25 days ago. Very modest Flat performer and the same so far over hurdles; makes no appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (11) (200/1 -60%) A Family Affair |
200/1(-60%) | (11) A Family Affair 200/1, Eleventh of 20 in novice hurdle at Cork (15.7f, soft, 250/1) 13 days ago. Beaten a mile in two maiden hurdles and impossible to give a chance to. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (17) (200/1 -60%) Somerset Hill |
200/1(-60%) | (17) Somerset Hill 200/1, First run since leaving P. M. J. Doyle when eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) 32 days ago. One fair run for Pat Doyle; jumped poorly at Limerick on stable debut; makes little appeal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (13/2 +35%) Cutthewire |
13/2(+35%) | (5) Cutthewire 13/2, Sixth of 16 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft, 14/1) 49 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Tongue-tie tried here in a more winnable contest and well worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (80/1 -142%) Moonis |
80/1(-142%) | (8) Moonis 80/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making jumps debut. 11/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f), folding tamely. Off 21 months. First run for yard after leaving Gary Moore. Showed some ability on the Flat in Britain at up to 1m6f; best watched on hurdles debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MAGIC DAY ran reasonably well last month and contests a winnable race. A sister to the Cheltenham Festival-placed Magic Daze and a runner-up on her point-to-point debut, that recent Navan form is largely unexciting but she nonetheless finished ahead of plenty rivals and today's ground conditions suit. Debut points winner Tumuch disappointed in a bumper last March before returning with a useful third-placed effort in November. However, he again disappointed when fading tamely, albeit in a smart race, at Punchestown just 11 days ago, so has something to prove. The consistent, 106-rated Bayrann ran well in both a useful course maiden in November and at Punchestown more recently, but is held by Tumuch on November form.
MAGIC DAY'S debut fourth in a big-field novice at Navan a month go was a positive start and with this race lacking strength in depth, she's the one to beat. Tumuch is a danger if bouncing back from a lesser effort last time, while Bayrann can remain competitive.
They will all have to go some to beat MAGIC DAY who created a very nice impression on her Navan debut and might not need to improve

1st (6) (3/1 +25%) Cottesloe Sunshine |
3/1(+25%) | (6) Cottesloe Sunshine 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Limerick in November. 15/2, good 4 lengths third of 10 in listed hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, soft) 11 days ago. Player. Maiden hurdle win before Listed 3rd last week and worth another crack at this level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (18/1 -13%) Beauforts Storm |
18/1(-13%) | (4) Beauforts Storm 18/1, Fair hurdler. Easily landed the odds in 9-runner novice hurdle at this course (16.2f, good) 23 days ago. This demands a lot more though. Off the mark with a maiden hurdle success here last month when obtaining an easy lead. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (10/1 -25%) Dream On Baby |
10/1(-25%) | (7) Dream On Baby 10/1, Much improved on her hurdling 3debut when bagging 23f maiden at Thurles last month. Yard in good form. Should progress further. Possibilities. Left bumper form behind with wide margin 2m7f win; more required and drops in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (15/2 +38%) Amanha |
15/2(+38%) | (3) Amanha 15/2, Fairly useful hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Roscommon in August. Good 4¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Sansrisk in Gr 3 hurdle (14/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, good to soft) 50 days ago, running on. In the picture. Behind Sansrisk and Royal Hollow last month; made errors and claims if cutting those out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (16/1 +52%) Love At Sea |
16/1(+52%) | (11) Love At Sea 16/1, Modest hurdler. Creditable third of 11 in bumper (12/1) at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 113 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. First run for yard after leaving P. M. Hurley. Difficult ask. Point winner; won Sligo bumper in August before Down Royal bumper 3rd; more required here. |

6th (10) (40/1 -60%) Folly Beach |
40/1(-60%) | (10) Folly Beach 40/1, Fair hurdler. Tenth of 14 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Fairyhouse (23.5f, good) 39 days ago. Significantly down in trip. 0-6 over hurdles and hasn't been a threat since switching to handicaps from a mark of 109. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (5/2 +50%) Royal Hollow |
5/2(+50%) | (2) Royal Hollow 5/2, Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. 14 lengths fourth of 7 to Bleu De Vassy in For Auction Novices' Hurdle at Navan (16.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 35 days ago. Enters calculations. Good run behind Sansrisk last month (7lb better off now); major claims if bouncing back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (22/1 -10%) Eve's Hope |
22/1(-10%) | (8) Eve's Hope 22/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 20/1, career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.4f, soft) 18 days ago, travelling strongly. Needs another step forward in this grade however. Career best when causing 20-1 upset in Clonmel maiden hurdle but others achieved much more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (5/1 +0%) Sansrisk |
5/1(+0%) | (1) Sansrisk 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 3 wins from 5 runs this season. 15 lengths seventh of 9 to Listentoyourheart in listed hurdle at Newbury (16.3f, good to soft, 7/2) 21 days ago. No forlorn hope. Progressed nicely this year; didn't give her running at Newbury latest; gives weight away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (5) (100/1 -203%) Chautuaqua |
100/1(-203%) | (5) Chautuaqua 100/1, Fair hurdler. Below form third of 14 in novice hurdle (2/1) at Listowel (16f, soft). Off 15 months. Rejoined yard after leaving Adrian Brendan Joyce. Promise for this yard in 2023 but career best required here and she's been off 460 days. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (9) (11/2 +39%) Femme Magnifique |
11/2(+39%) | (9) Femme Magnifique 11/2, Fairly useful hurdler. 11/1, bad mistake 4 out when pulled up in listed hurdle at Punchestown (19.1f, soft) 11 days ago. Trainer going well. Should be thereabouts. Won the bumper on this card last year; maiden hurdle winner since but out of form lately. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ROYAL HOLLOW has been running well in Graded races recently and might turn around Down Royal November placings with Sansrisk and win. Thoroughly consistent, the selection is ideally suited by good ground and while closely matched with Sansrisk on two previous meetings, is 7lb better off today than when beaten over three lengths by that rival last month. Sansrisk was well held at Newbury most recently but is herself generally consistent. The well-bred Dream On Baby caused an upset when scooting clear to score over course-and-distance last month and while she faces battle-hardened rivals, is open to vast improvement being a four-year-old. Cottesloe Sunshine has good recent form and should be competitive, while C&D winner Beauforts Storm steps up in grade.
COTTESLOE SUNSHINE holds the edge on the form of her good Punchestown third last time so looks the way to go. Femme Magnifique didn't enjoy the rub of the green when pulled up in that contest and could emerge as the main danger with Dream On Baby, Amanha and Royal Hollow all worthy of consideration too.
It may be worth taking a chance on AMANHA who may have finished closer with some better jumping last time out and she's unexposed

6/1(-20%) | (14) Jeaniemacaroney 6/1, Winner in hurdle at Roscommon in July. 9/4, very good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) 32 days ago. Shortlist material. Done in the last stride in a mares handicap at Limerick last time; good 7lb claimer up. |

2nd (4) (8/1 -33%) Wee Charlie |
8/1(-33%) | (4) Wee Charlie 8/1, Won twice at Galway this autumn. Another good run there when second of 14 in handicap hurdle (16f, heavy) 55 days ago. Considered. Up 25lb for last three efforts but will appreciate the ground and very much respected. |

3rd (8) (14/1 +65%) Dark Note |
14/1(+65%) | (8) Dark Note 14/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Dundalk (12f) 24 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Visor on for 1st time in this code.

15/2(-114%) | (18) Unklipped 15/2, Career best when winning 13-runner C&D handicap (good to soft, 13/2) 22 days ago, cruising clear. A 10 lb rise shouldn't prevent another prominent showing if in similar form. Up 10lb for last run but well worth a try in a higher grade and could well play a hand. |

13th (13) (11/1 +21%) Answering |
11/1(+21%) | (13) Answering 11/1, C&D maiden winner in March. Good fourth in Naas handicap in April. Only midfield in 2 handicaps in May but fairly treated if back to his best after a break. Not one to discount although might well need the run after a seven month absence. |

50/1(-52%) | (17) Timourid 50/1, Below form sixth of 13 in claimer at Dundalk (8f, 3/1) 38 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on last hurdle run. Well beaten in a 2m handicap on his only recent start over hurdles; safe to look elsewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
IF YOU LET ME has obvious claims in a big-field handicap, having run well in a similar race at Punchestown last month. A point-to-point winner, he has also shown useful ability on the Flat, over hurdles and over fences, and being suited by good ground, he should again compete from his rating. Galway regular Wee Charlie was touched off on his most recent run in October and while raised 3lb since, today's rider claims 5lb and he can also get competitive. Four-year-old Jeaniemacaroney is another with solid recent form, while Unklipped steps up in grade having won here last month. Top-weight Little Mixup has lost confidence recently but is a previous C&D winner.
JEANIEMACARONEY is taken to gain compensation for last month's Limerick near miss. Last month's easy C&D scorer Unklipped heads the many dangers along with Wee Charlie and If You Let Me.
It might pay to side with UNKLIPPED, who was progressing before bolting up over C&D last time and may have more to offer

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
DRUMGILL tackled fences with gusto when scoring over a similar trip here last month and has a low weight reverting to hurdles. In a very busy year which began in March, he rattled off a summer hat-trick and while his form later dipped, he defeated a 140-rated hurdler on his chase debut recently with the step-up in distance appearing to suit. Millforce is consistent and stays well but has plenty weight, while Brave Fortune has some reasonable form and steps up in distance. Sequoiaspirit won a recent handicap and should again beo competitive, while Grooveykindoflove received weight from the runner-up when readily scoring over C&D last month and faces a stiffer task here. Triple bumper winner Takt De Touques won recently at Sedgefield.
This could go the way of SEQUOIASPIRIT who arrives on the back of a career-best victory in a big-field Navan handicap. Recent course chase victor Drumgill appeals as the one to chase him home back in this sphere, with Takt de Touques and Heroes Rise best equipped to fight it out for minor honours.
DRUMGILL(nap) took the scalp of a nice prospect over fences here recently and looks a big player back over timber

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BLUE VELVET showed ability in a point-to-point and has since joined leading connections. By Constitution Hill's sire Blue Bresil and a half-sister to seven-time winner Stoner's Choice, she was running a big race on points debut when unseating rider at the final fence at Borris House in April and was subsequently sold to new owners for 170,000 euro. Newcomer Arctic Flame is a sister to the Champion Hurdle-placed Arctic Fire and it is also encouraging that she contests a bumper on debut, with Finny Maguire being a positive booking. Music Of Life has shown useful ability, while Derryville has form but was well held by the winner on both her bumper starts. Points winner Menas Miracle wears a tongue-tie on bumper debut.
BLUE VELVET was picked up for six figures after shaping best (unseated late) in a point and, having joined a top yard, she's likely to make a successful Rules debut in a race that lacks depth. Grainne A Chroi is the likeliest to capitalise if the selection doesn't come up to expectations and Arctic Flame is an interesting newcomer on pedigree.
This might be a good opportunity for BLUE VELVET who was still involved when unseating in a point and the yard won this last year

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.
