The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BRAVE FORTUNE has good recent form. He has run well in each of his four starts todate, winning his point-to-point easily last October and from his Thurles race last-time-out, the winner, runner-up and fifth-placed horses have each scored subsequently. Recoded ran well when beaten three and a half lengths by Staffordshire Knot and while he conceded 5lb the that recently-Grade 1-placed winner, hasn't run since and had previously been beaten in a Carlisle hurdle. Pour Les Filles is a point-to-point and bumper winner who ran well in a Grade 2 bumper last April. He nonetheless appeared green on Punchestown hurdles' debut (at one point jumping a pathway) and while he ran well, is absent since and now concedes a winners' penalty. Nas Na Riogh finished three lengths ahead of Park The Giant at Navan last December and while both are useful, might find this maiden too strong. Galway festival bumper winner Fortunate Lighting is probably best watched on her reappearance and hurdles' debut. Too Knov also faces a tough task while Depalma showed some promise on debut.
It was a decent maiden hurdle in which POUR LES FILLES was a promising third on his hurdles debut at Punchestown when last seen in October and he may well find the necessary improvement to see off the likes of Nas Na Riogh, Park The Giant and Brave Fortune (in order of preference). Indeed, Gordon Elliott's charge achieved a useful level of form in bumpers (wasn't beaten far in a Grade 2 event at Aintree last spring) and he is not short of potential. Toor Khov also enters calculations.
PARK THE GIANT has 3l to find with Nas Na Riogh from their clash at Navan but he bettered that effort since and is selected.

13/2(+68%) | (6) Morepowertoya 13/2, 40/1, below form ninth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 44 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time. Should have improved from Naas comeback run and the drying ground can help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (5/2 +0%) Tingarran Express |
5/2(+0%) | (10) Tingarran Express 5/2, 10/3, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.4f, soft) 5 days ago, pushed out having overcome trouble. Carries penalty. Expected to be bang there. Got off the mark in a Clonmel handicap five days ago; should go well even with 7lb penalty. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (20) (100/1 +0%) So Easy Way |
100/1(+0%) | (20) So Easy Way 100/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2019. Twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.6f, soft, 66/1). Off 7 months. Poor on last three hurdle starts and has to be primed on return to score. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (10/1 +17%) Toon Town |
10/1(+17%) | (14) Toon Town 10/1, Below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy, 10/1) 138 days ago. Merits consideration om Thurles effort prior to that. Poor last time but some decent runs in defeat earlier; chance if back to best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (17) (50/1 +24%) Boxcar Molly |
50/1(+24%) | (17) Boxcar Molly 50/1, 40/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 90 days ago, dropping away after 3 out. Cheekpieces on first time. Has to improve with cheekpieces but drying ground could help. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (7/1 +0%) Cramers Valley |
7/1(+0%) | (11) Cramers Valley 7/1, 12/1, shaped better than the result when fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 44 days ago, left poorly placed. Not taken lightly. Just denied at Naas two starts ago but not as good off this mark since and needs more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (12/1 +25%) Ella Rose |
12/1(+25%) | (13) Ella Rose 12/1, Fifth of 15 in handicap chase (40/1) at Thurles (20.3f, heavy) on debut over fences 38 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Down in trip. Runner-up at Gowran but disappointing twice since including over fences and needs best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (19) (20/1 +20%) Kate Ill Know |
20/1(+20%) | (19) Kate Ill Know 20/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (20.2f, heavy, 25/1) 62 days ago. Down in trip. Maiden hurdle winner has been poor on last few starts and needs a revival. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (11/2 +66%) Cloughroe |
11/2(+66%) | (1) Cloughroe 11/2, Tongue strap on for first time, fifth of 9 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Punchestown (23.7f, soft) 78 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Some ability in two UK bumpers and in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last time; check market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (40/1 -186%) Road To The Weir |
40/1(-186%) | (9) Road To The Weir 40/1, Unseated rider in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Naas (19.1f, soft) 102 days ago second when unseated rider 4 out, too far out to suggest outcome. Unseated on handicap debut at Naas in January; capable of running well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (14/1 +30%) The Striker Dylan |
14/1(+30%) | (3) The Striker Dylan 14/1, 80/1, seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 49 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Likely to improve. A glimpse of ability in three maidens; not particularly well treated but could improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (25/1 -56%) Misty Milan |
25/1(-56%) | (5) Misty Milan 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 250/1, seventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16.8f, heavy) 113 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Should improve. Could be a different proposition in handicaps for a shrewd yard if the money comes for her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (8) (16/1 -45%) Eikonix |
16/1(-45%) | (8) Eikonix 16/1, Unreliable type. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 50/1) 39 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Below form on last hurdles run. Dual Flat winner has been soundly beaten in testing ground recently but this suits better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (2) (22/1 +33%) Glas Acres |
22/1(+33%) | (2) Glas Acres 22/1, 100/1, ninth of 17 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, heavy) 138 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Ability on first two hurdle runs but got stuck in the mud last time; this ground will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (16) (50/1 -150%) Ruby Jules |
50/1(-150%) | (16) Ruby Jules 50/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap (66/1) at Bellewstown (7.8f, heavy). Off 6 months. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor effort on last hurdle run. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Maiden hasn't been seen since last September but a squeak on best form if ready to go. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (7) (22/1 +45%) Moulane West |
22/1(+45%) | (7) Moulane West 22/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, seventeenth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 102 days ago. Has been regressive in the past 18 months and makes little appeal on current form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (18) (9/1 -64%) Navy Waves |
9/1(-64%) | (18) Navy Waves 9/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 49 days ago. A bit more encouraging at Thurles last time and can get closer with improvement. |

18th (4) (50/1 +0%) Carslake |
50/1(+0%) | (4) Carslake 50/1, Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 66/1) 11 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Hood on for first time in this code. Maiden was pulled-up over hurdles when last seen; others preferred. |

28/1(-180%) | (15) Fourleaf Shamrock 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (19f, heavy) 12 days ago. Blinkers now on. An improved run in cheekpieces at Limerick last time; blinkers might help eke out more. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
TINGARRAN EXPRESS has obvious claims having won at Clonmel on Thursday, despite it being her first success in 21 starts. Although a seven-year-old, her recent form is strong with the winner of her February race subsequently placing at the dizzying heights of Grade 2-level. The selection is 1lb wrong under her 7lb penalty but contests a weak handicap. Cramers Valley has been running well in recent handicaps and being as yet somewhat unexposed, can continue to progress. Ella Rose reverts from fences and ran well over hurdles last November while three-time winner Definiteadare also reverts from chasing but makes his reappearance. Morepowertoya, which runs in first-time cheekpieces, should improve from his reappearance run but would prefer better ground. UK bumper-placed Cloughroe and Misty Milan, which represents an in-form yard, each contests their first handicaps.
TINGARRAN EXPRESS overcame a fairly hefty bump when finally off the mark at Clonmel on Thursday and hopes are high that she can quickly double up under a penalty. Cramers Valley shaped with promise at Naas when last seen and he's a threat, with Definiteadare another to note on his return to action.
Even with a 7lb penalty, TINGARRAN EXPRESS could be capable of following up her ready Clonmel success of five days ago.

1st (3) (9/4 +44%) The Busy Fool |
9/4(+44%) | (3) The Busy Fool 9/4, Bumper winner who matched previous form over hurdles when third in 19-runner maiden at Naas (16f, soft) 19 days ago. Respected on handicap debut. Bumper winner placed in all three maidens; may want further but opening mark looks fair. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/1 +60%) Killeemore Lad |
10/1(+60%) | (6) Killeemore Lad 10/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this season but offered little after 5 months off when only eight of 10 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft, 66/1) 19 days ago. Makes a belated handicap debut. Dual hurdle winner last summer was tailed off on recent return to action at Naas. |

3rd (2) (5/1 -50%) Splashing Out |
5/1(-50%) | (2) Splashing Out 5/1, Winner at Limerick in November and ran well when second of 5 in minor event hurdle at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) 30 days ago. Visor on for 1st time. Has to be taken seriously. Best form on heavy ground at Limerick, notably a win and two short-head seconds this term. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (50/1 -100%) The Shantou King |
50/1(-100%) | (5) The Shantou King 50/1, Fair hurdler who was well below form when sixth of 7 in novice hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 108 days ago. Won Listowel maiden in September but well held since; back from a break, headgear left off. |

5th (1) (8/1 +0%) Linden Arden |

6th (10) (16/1 -100%) Golden Temple |
16/1(-100%) | (10) Golden Temple 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 8/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 168 days ago.

7th (8) (9/2 -35%) Picture Of You |
9/2(-35%) | (8) Picture Of You 9/2, Ran to a similar level as previously over hurdles when fourth of 18 in maiden at Limerick (16f, heavy) 119 days ago. Makes handicap debut and remains open to improvement. Touched off at Cork in November on second of three maiden runs; handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (28/1 -40%) Simpletwistoffaith |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (7/2 +46%) Pacini |
7/2(+46%) | (7) Pacini 7/2, Winner at Fairyhouse in December and not disgraced in first-time blinkers when seventh of 16 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 23 days ago. Useful form in juvenile hurdles; didn't get home over 2m4f on h'cap debut at Fairyhouse. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SPLASHING OUT was out-battled by the narrow winner at Limerick and the application of a first-time visor might help. She bounced back from a disappointing February run in last month's contest, should compete from her rating and is suited by testing ground. The Busy Fool is consistent and having run well in three maiden hurdles, should run well on handicap debut. Similarly Picture Of You debuts in handicaps having run well in three maiden hurdles last November/December while stablemate Kudasheva was soundly held running in a first-time tongue-tie on handicap debut last November. Linden Arden has returned to his previous trainer since a disappointing run recently and his best form is over longer distances. Pacini was second at Grade 3 level last February, with the winner subsequently scoring at Grade 2 level but was well held in first-time blinkers (which are again applied) on recent handicap debut.
PICTURE OF YOU has shaped with promise on all 3 hurdle starts and remains open to improvement now heading into a handicap, so she's an appealing candidate. Splashing Out and The Busy Fool are a pair of credible rivals.
Six handicap debutants and one of them, THE BUSY FOOL (nap), could be well treated after three placed efforts in maiden

2nd (7) (18/1 +10%) Jacksons Gold |
18/1(+10%) | (7) Jacksons Gold 18/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 16 lengths third of 4 to Tactical Move in Gr 3 chase (100/1) at Naas (20f, heavy) 44 days ago, flattered by proximity. Plenty of experience and not shamed in small-field Grade 3 latest; would prefer further. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The runner-up, third, fifth, sixth and seventh-placed horses from a recent same-distance Cork race reoppose and NOW IS THE HOUR might again lead them home, and win today. A Grade 2 Haydock winner over three-miles last February, he nonetheless ran well when dropped in distance on chase debut at Cork (where he conceded 5lb to the winner) and a reproduction would give him every chance. Third-placed Fortunedefortunata has seven and a half lengths to find on that form while Mister Wilson finished fifth) and Cosmic Blizzard (sixth) should struggle. An Epic Song has a marked left-jumping tendency and disappointed when finishing seventh at Cork. Runner-up to famous Langer Dan in the 2023 Coral Cup, he is open to vast improvement going this direction but remains a work-in-progress and would prefer further. Capable Pinkerton disappointed at Thurles in February but had previously run well in two November chases. Summer Melody makes his chase debut.
NOW IS THE HOUR was useful over hurdles and showed plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Cork on chasing debut so, while he's likely to be suited by a return to further, he should have enough to get away with it. Pinkerton has actually achieved the most over fences to this point, so he's feared along with Fortunedefortunata.
A Grade 2-winning hurdler over 3m, NOW IS THE HOUR wants further but had four of these behind over this trip on chase debut at Cork

Brought down 2 out (struggling at the time) in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (24.3f, soft, 15/2) 80 days ago. Point winner who should prove just as good over fences.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SUMMER TIDE was a surprise winner on seasonal reappearance last month and indeed reverts to a more favourable distance. He was rated just 111 over hurdles but his chase form is quite useful, being beaten by subsequent Kerry National winner Desertmore House last July and, at Cork last month, dfeated a previous Grade 2 winner into second. So Des Flos defeated the recent Scottish National-fourth to win at Fairyhouse last month and while he would ideally prefer a slightly longer distance, has claims despite conceding weight. Music Of Tara was well beaten when brought down at Leopardstown in February and while she had previously shown good form and has point-to-point experience, faces a tough task on chase debut. Dual hurdle winner Nine Graces is rated 128 in that sphere but was also well held in that Leopardstown race and makes her own chase debut. Varna Gold returned from 640 days off at Cork last month and has plenty on his plate on chase debut.
SUMMER TIDE made a taking return when winning easily at Cork and can go in again back up in trip. Useful hurdler Nine Graces could be the danger on her chase debut.
Having posted a career-best when taking a 2m Cork beginners' on comeback, SUMMER TIDE will take beating today.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Philip Rothwell's stable keeps firing in the winners and WEIHNACHTS could be another for him. This 10-year-old gelding bounced right back to form in Down Royal with an authoritative victory over an extended 3m2f this month. Although he is up 7lb in the weights, he is actually down in grade. Tangental has been a beaten favourite in four of his last six outings, but he is picking up prize money and looks one of the more likely contenders especially off a light weight. Made In The Woods has obtained his best results when racing off the front and, if he gets an uncontested lead, he could travel well for a long way. Fox Le Bel is a long-standing maiden, but is capable of grabbing more place money, while Centurion Steel is one to monitor for market strength in the first-time hood on his second start for Declan Queally.
STARLIGHT CATO is worth another chance to back up his good second at Navan having had excuses at Limerick last time (badly hampered and made mistakes after). Fox Le Bel should be in the mix again, while Tangental remains with scope in this sphere on hurdles form after just 3 chase starts.
Drying ground will help \LADY KATE\p who was second on yielding ground on handicap debut and she is a hopeful choice to defy a lay-off

Willie Mullins saddled a newcomer to win this race last year and could repeat the feat with NOT NEGOTIABLE. Her sire, Kapgarde, is a good source of bumper winners and she will certainly know her job. Shannon Bank was only collared in the closing stages at Down Royal, so that runner-up berth entitles her to respect. She is going the right way as her fourth places in Galway and Cork weren't devoid of ability either. Point-to-point winner Shantou Princess showed potential when keeping on for fourth on racecourse debut at Cork. There are plenty of winners in Laravie's pedigree, so a market move for her ahead of her racecourse bow would be interesting.
NOT NEGOTIABLE makes plenty of appeal on paper and should be able to get the better of Shannon Bank, who sets the standard on what's been achieved in bumpers. Nothing Hectic should be suited by the extra emphasis on stamina, so she's no forlorn hope.
The bar is not set too high by those that have run so NOT NEGOTIABLE, a sister to a useful hurdler in France, can take this on debut

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.
