Blondesandbubbles |
(10) (250/1 -150%)250/1(-150%) | (10) Blondesandbubbles 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1, last of 11 in bumper at Clonmel (16.6f, heavy) on bumper debut 28 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Unseated on her debut, tailed off at Gowran, last of 11 in a Clonmel bumper. |

1st (9) (0.57/1 +59%) Birdie Or Bust |
0.57/1(+59%) | (9) Birdie Or Bust 0.57/1, Promising individual. 8/1, second of 16 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy) 99 days ago, keeping on. Sound claims with prospect of more to come. Has chased home a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot on both starts, may go one better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (5/1 -25%) Something Abouther |
5/1(-25%) | (7) Something Abouther 5/1, Bumper winner who showed improved form on second start back from a lengthy absence when good third of 14 in novice hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft) 35 days ago. A repeat should see her in the shake up again. Limerick bumper winner in 2021, two creditable displays over hurdles after a long absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (16/1 -78%) Baby Chou |
16/1(-78%) | (8) Baby Chou 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. Third of 14 in novice hurdle (8/1) at Tramore (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 18 days ago. Feasible to think she can build on that here. Ordinary form in bumpers, took a step in the right direction on hurdling debut at Tramore. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (14) (12/1 +40%) I Sea The Moon |
12/1(+40%) | (14) I Sea The Moon 12/1, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 11 hurdle runs. Respectable fifth of 14 in novice hurdle (6/4) at Tramore (16f, soft) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Visor on 1st time. Showed potential for handicap success during 2021, needs to step up on recent maiden form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (6/1 -33%) Cash The Cheque |
6/1(-33%) | (2) Cash The Cheque 6/1, Fair hurdler. 15/8, creditable third of 14 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 61 days ago. No surprise to see her thereabouts again. Consistent in bumpers on good ground last summer, has shown potential for hurdle success. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (13) (250/1 -150%) Goodie Girl |
250/1(-150%) | (13) Goodie Girl 250/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in novice hurdle (80/1) at Kilbeggan (15f, good to soft) on NH debut 14 days ago. Probably one for later on. Never involved on debut at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago, will need to pick up more experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (15) (250/1 -67%) Image Du Large |
250/1(-67%) | (15) Image Du Large 250/1, Some promise only chase start in France but well held all 3 starts over hurdles for present stable. French form was not without merit, jumping has been ragged on three Irish starts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (16/1 +0%) Brianna Lily |
16/1(+0%) | (1) Brianna Lily 16/1, Fairly useful winner at 2m in bumpers. 33¼ lengths last of 9 to Tiger Bay Queen in listed bumper at Fairyhouse (16.4f, soft, 7/1) 26 days ago. Makes hurdles debut and she's one to monitor closely in the betting now attentions switch to timber. Lacks hurdling experience but should be competitive if reproducing her best bumper form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (150/1 -275%) Gonetomillgrove |
150/1(-275%) | (4) Gonetomillgrove 150/1, Fair winner at 12f on Flat. Minor promise on first of 2 starts over hurdles upon joining present yard earlier this year but below best back on the level at Navan recently. Flat winner for Jack Davison last autumn, unplaced in two hurdles starts for this stable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (20) (300/1 -100%) Unklipped |
300/1(-100%) | (20) Unklipped 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. 250/1, fourteenth of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (18.7f, soft) 63 days ago. Towards the back in maidens at Down Royal and Clonmel, can be safely ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (66/1 -230%) Fizzle Rock |
66/1(-230%) | (3) Fizzle Rock 66/1, Fair winner at 2m in bumpers. Fourth of 8 in bumper at Perth (16.2f, good to soft, 2/1). Off 21 months. Makes hurdles debut. Hooded for 1st time. Made a winning debut in a Down Royal bumper in June 2021, off since the following month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (11) (22/1 +45%) C'est Rien |
22/1(+45%) | (11) C'est Rien 22/1, Modest hurdler. 200/1, well-beaten last of 5 to Impaire Et Passe in Moscow Flyer Novices' Hurdle at Punchestown (16f, heavy) 109 days ago. This understandably more suitable but she's another who will be seen in a better light tackling handicaps in this sphere. Completely out of her depth in a Grade 2 event in January, fair third here last October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (66/1 -230%) Lodilomoco |
66/1(-230%) | (6) Lodilomoco 66/1, Fair winner at 17f in bumpers. 33/1, tailed-off last of 11 to Troubled Times in listed bumper at Gowran (16f, soft). Off 7 months. Makes hurdles debut. Won a mares' bumper at Wexford last August, later struggled in a Listed bumper at Gowran. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (19) (250/1 -279%) Sweet Bonnie |
250/1(-279%) | (19) Sweet Bonnie 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Struggled on debut at Clonmel, hampered a couple of times at Navan but showed very little. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (17) (250/1 -150%) Janverlil |
250/1(-150%) | (17) Janverlil 250/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 80/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Thurles (21f, heavy) 52 days ago, pulled up before 2 out. Back down in trip. Big price when pulled-up in a 2m5f maiden at Tramore, form at 2m has been moderate. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (16) (50/1 -52%) In A Nice Way |
50/1(-52%) | (16) In A Nice Way 50/1, Modest hurdler. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (23f, good to soft, 16/1). Off 6 months. Passed over stepping back up significantly in trip. Best run last season when third in a maiden at Cork, handicap efforts have been ordinary. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (12) (250/1 -658%) Emotional Damage |
250/1(-658%) | (12) Emotional Damage 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, seventh of 13 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.4f, soft) 20 days ago, making no impression. Represents leading stable but she's a likely type for handicaps in due course. Has looked in need of further than this in her first two races, perhaps one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (18) (250/1 -150%) Red Sole Diva |
250/1(-150%) | (18) Red Sole Diva 250/1, Minor promise on first of 2 starts over hurdles for W. McCreery during early 2021 but proved regressive on the Flat subsequently and best watched starting out for another new yard here following 11 months off. Lost form on Flat after showing ability for Joseph O'Brien, had two hurdle runs in 2021. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (12/1 +45%) Hi Stranger |
12/1(+45%) | (5) Hi Stranger 12/1, Fairly useful dual bumper winner during summer 2021. Offered little back on Flat (following 7 months off) when thirteenth of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Navan (13f, heavy) 36 days ago and market best guide now hurdling. Dual bumper winner on good ground two summers ago, out of form on last three Flat runs. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st: 0.67/1 (9) BIRDIE OR BUST 2nd: 4.5/1 (2) CASH THE CHEQUE 3rd: 16/1 (8) BABY CHOU
BIRDIE OR BUST made a pleasing start at Tramore on New Years Day when beating all bar the well-regarded Quais De Paris and again filled the runner-up spot later that month behind another Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot at Fairyhouse. The selection had subsequent winner Firm Footings 20 lengths back in third and should be suited by this better ground. Something Abouther won a bumper at Limerick last November and the lightly raced seven-year-old comes here off two placed efforts in mares maiden hurdles including when prominent throughout in the Naas event won by Troubled Times. Cash The Cheque has a similar profile while Baby Chou and I Sea The Moon are others to consider.
BIRDIE OR BUST shaped with promise when twice filling the runners-up spot in maiden hurdles earlier this year and, with potential for better still moving forward, she very much looks the one to side with. Cash The Cheque and Something Abouther head up the dangers, with Baby Chou also worth keeping an eye on.
Henry de Bromhead's BIRDIE OR BUST (nap), second to a Willie Mullins-trained odds-on shot in both her races, has less on her plate now

Monty's Way |
(7) (80/1 -100%)80/1(-100%) | (7) Monty's Way 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Useful winner at 17f on flat. 200/1, eighth of 9 in minor event hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft) 35 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Plenty to find on form. Upped in trip for handicap debut and of limited appeal although better ground may suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (4) (8/1 -14%) Miss Tempo |
8/1(-14%) | (4) Miss Tempo 8/1, 14/1, career best when winning 23-runner handicap hurdle at Naas (18.9f, soft) 35 days ago, well ridden. Stable having good spell. Respected up 7 lb. All-the-way Naas winner after long absence; has form on good ground but not over this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (13) (12/1 +14%) Ladiam |
12/1(+14%) | (13) Ladiam 12/1, Very good second of 9 in handicap hurdle (20/1) at Ballinrobe (22.1f, soft) 20 days ago. Can give a good account. Promising Ballinrobe comeback run augurs well; ground in her favour too. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (17) (50/1 +0%) Midnight Our Fred |
50/1(+0%) | (17) Midnight Our Fred 50/1, 50/1, seventeenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.1f, good to soft) 68 days ago. Up in trip. Tailed off on handicap debut after being hampered at Fairyhouse; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (12/1 -33%) Mister Twist |
12/1(-33%) | (11) Mister Twist 12/1, Good second of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good to soft, 18/1) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Going the right way and needs considering. Progressive maiden of late; up further in trip here and contender if he stays. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (14) (33/1 -65%) Navigator Jack |
33/1(-65%) | (14) Navigator Jack 33/1, 20/1, last of 14 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 129 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Absent since below-par run over Christmas and returns with tongue tie tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (18) (3.5/1 +61%) Positive Thinker |
3.5/1(+61%) | (18) Positive Thinker 3.5/1, 9/4, won 11-runner handicap chase at this course (23.6f, soft) on debut over fences 16 days ago, digging deep. Switches from chase to hurdles. Looks competitive on form. Recent handicap chase winner here has to be on the shortlist back hurdling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (6.5/1 +7%) Rebellious Gale |
6.5/1(+7%) | (8) Rebellious Gale 6.5/1, Bit below form fifth of 20 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Fairyhouse (20.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Trip on latest inadequate; longer trip and better ground here in his favour. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (16) (25/1 -150%) Aide De Camp |
25/1(-150%) | (16) Aide De Camp 25/1, 5/1, seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.6f, good to soft) 17 days ago, not knocked about. Finishing well of late over shorter so another try at this longer trip understandable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (11/1 +21%) Junior Rattler |
11/1(+21%) | (2) Junior Rattler 11/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 26 in handicap hurdle (33/1) at Navan (20f, good to soft) 61 days ago. Up in trip. Expected to be bang there. Navan run encouraging; longer trip here should suit and could prove a bit of value. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (3) (10/1 -54%) Bocelli's Voice |
10/1(-54%) | (3) Bocelli's Voice 10/1, Progressive form, winning 18.5f Cork maiden in March. Significantly up in trip. Should have more to offer in handicaps. One to consider. Clonmel maiden winner encounters quicker ground here and upped markedly in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (10/1 +50%) American Money |
10/1(+50%) | (12) American Money 10/1, Winner in hurdle at Punchestown in January. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy, 8/1) 54 days ago. Back up in trip. Testing conditions likely against him at Gowran; better ground now so not one to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (5) (16/1 +52%) Nephin Beg |
16/1(+52%) | (5) Nephin Beg 16/1, Winner in hurdle at Cork in December. Fell in minor event hurdle at Wexford (24f, heavy, 16/1) 34 days ago. Faller at Wexford in novice company, will appreciate return to handicap ranks. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (19) (25/1 -108%) Ernie From Nurney |
25/1(-108%) | (19) Ernie From Nurney 25/1, Eleventh of 15 in novice chase at Thurles (20.9f, soft, 15/2) on debut over fences 52 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Tongue strap back on. Can make presence felt back hurdling. No show on recent chasing debut and now upped in trip on hurdles return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (22/1 -57%) Fancy A Cosmo |
22/1(-57%) | (9) Fancy A Cosmo 22/1, Off 11 months, ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.4f, good to soft) 25 days ago, prtobably needing the run. Rachael Blackmore takes the ride now. One to note in the betting. Needs to come on plenty for recent comeback run at Cork; unproven over this far. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (15) (66/1 -230%) Prussia With Love |
66/1(-230%) | (15) Prussia With Love 66/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Listowel (20f, good to soft, 25/1), tailed off when pulled up before 3 out. Off 19 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Paul Hennessy. Winner for Dan Skelton but can only be watched after 20 months absence. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (20) (40/1 -21%) Sean Og |
40/1(-21%) | (20) Sean Og 40/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy, 16/1) 147 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Very hard to make a case for. Has raced only over 2m to-date so potential improver now upped in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (1) (6.5/1 +19%) Heyjoe De Kerser |
6.5/1(+19%) | (1) Heyjoe De Kerser 6.5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 10 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (24.4f, heavy, 7/2) 108 days ago, going in snatches. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Didn't impress with attitude latest; back on better ground for handicap bow. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (28/1 -100%) Johnny Cigar |
28/1(-100%) | (10) Johnny Cigar 28/1, Fourteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, soft, 15/2) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. No show at Cork on handicap debut when didn't go unbacked; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (28/1 -12%) Jet Setting Johnny |
28/1(-12%) | (6) Jet Setting Johnny 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Cork (16f, soft) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Yet to convince over this far and certainly will have to settle better. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st: 4/1 (18) POSITIVE THINKER 2nd: 16/1 (11) MISTER TWIST 3rd: 12/1 (2) JUNIOR RATTLER
LADIAM won a 2m4f maiden at Sligo last summer and made a promising return when upped to 2m6f at Ballinrobe last month. The Norman Lee-trained mare kept on well when runner-up to favourite Nine Graces and should stay this trip. Miss Tempo has won two maidens, losing a 2m5f Tramore event due to a banned substance and overcame an absence of well over a year when making all over 2m3f at Naas in March. The point-to-point winner is another that should appreciate three miles. Bocelli's Voice beat Mister Twist on testing ground at Clonmel and it will be interesting to see how he copes with this significant step up in distance while Positive Thinker, Junior Rattler, Rebellious Gale and Heyjoe De Kerser are others to consider.
There's likely more to come from Cork maiden winner BOCELLI'S VOICE, particularly now stepping up in trip, so he might prove the answer to this very competitive handicap. Junior Rattler, Naas winner Miss Tempo and Philip Fenton's Mister Twist head the many possible dangers. First reserve Lovely Reaction would merit plenty of respect if getting a run.
A recent winner here on chasing debut POSITIVE THINKER makes plenty of appeal back hurdling in an open-looking contest

1st (1) (11/1 -22%) Good As Hell |
11/1(-22%) | (1) Good As Hell 11/1, Course winner who returned to form when second of 7 in handicap chase at Clonmel (22.8f, heavy) 28 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers back on. Shortlisted. Cracking comeback run at Clonmel; drop back in trip here might not be ideal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (22/1 -38%) Politicise |
22/1(-38%) | (6) Politicise 22/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 14/1, below form sixth of 15 in novice chase at Thurles (20.9f, soft) 52 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Not out of things. Not progressing over fences; return to better ground may suit but others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (13) (28/1 +58%) Fly De Megaudais |
28/1(+58%) | (13) Fly De Megaudais 28/1, C&D winner. Pulled up in handicap chase at Thurles (16.4f, good to soft, 16/1) 84 days ago won by Added Bonus. Needs a couple of these to falter. C&D winner but lacklustre Thurles run hardly augurs well and 2lb out of handicap here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (5/1 -43%) Know The Game |
5/1(-43%) | (3) Know The Game 5/1, Winner in chase at Naas (16f) in December. Career best when close second of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.1f, soft, 13/2) 18 days ago. 4 lb higher now but looks sure to go well again. Just denied at Tramore; all form has been on soft/heavy so would probably appreciate rain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (12) (14/1 +22%) Berliet Express |
14/1(+22%) | (12) Berliet Express 14/1, Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.1f, soft, 9/1) 18 days ago. Each-way claims. 0-12 chasing and good bit to find with a couple of today's rivals on recent Tramore run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (16/1 -100%) Marvel Fan |
16/1(-100%) | (2) Marvel Fan 16/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Sixth of 9 in handicap chase (9/2) at Cork (16.7f, soft) 24 days ago. Others preferred. Jumping awry at Cork; has a bit to prove now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (8/1 -45%) Malinas Glory |
8/1(-45%) | (9) Malinas Glory 8/1, First run since leaving Eoghan O'Grady when creditable third of 13 in handicap chase (13/2) at Tramore (15.1f, soft) 18 days ago, barely adequate test. First run for yard after leaving Brian O'Keeffe. Respected. Tramore form included recent third over 2m; bit to find with second-placed Know The Game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (7/1 -8%) Jack Holiday |
7/1(-8%) | (8) Jack Holiday 7/1, Exploited much lower mark when winning 19-runner handicap hurdle at this course (16f, soft) 16 days ago, always holding on. Still fairly treated on old form, back chasing here, and must enter calculations. Recent hurdles winner here has a good record at the track; respected back chasing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (5) (18/1 -80%) Lord Gillygooley |
18/1(-80%) | (5) Lord Gillygooley 18/1, Fair winner at 24f over hurdles. Fifth of 9 in novice chase (16/1) at Kilbeggan (22f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Down in trip. Visor on 1st time. Merits consideration on handicap chase debut. Visor now tried in first handicap chase over an inadequate trip. |

10/1(+38%) | (10) Trishknowsbest 10/1, 9/2, below form seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, heavy) 32 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Makes handicap chase debut. Has work to do. Mixed form of late over hurdles and fences; better ground now in her favour. |

10th (11) (25/1 +0%) Added Bonus |
25/1(+0%) | (11) Added Bonus 25/1, One win from 25 NH runs. Winner in chase at Thurles in February. Ninth of 13 in handicap chase (11/1) at Thurles (20.5f, soft) 47 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others preferred. Well held over 2m4f since Thurles win; should appreciate return to this minimum trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (5.5/1 +15%) Coole Arcade |
5.5/1(+15%) | (4) Coole Arcade 5.5/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Fell in handicap chase at Naas (20f, soft, 14/1) 173 days ago. Trainer going well. Others more persuasive. Last two wins came after breaks so clearly goes well fresh and ground to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (3.5/1 +65%) Clever Currency |
3.5/1(+65%) | (7) Clever Currency 3.5/1, 16/1, below form fourteenth of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. 10 lb lower on handicap chase debut but yet to really prove himself in this sphere. Held over hurdles but 10lb lower now reverting to fences so of interest; ground to suit. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st: 7.5/1 (3) KNOW THE GAME 2nd: 5/1 (8) JACK HOLIDAY 3rd: 14/1 (1) GOOD AS HELL
COOLE ARCADE appreciates good ground and won over hurdles here last year. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding also scored over fences last summer at Wexford and it will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market following a six months break. Know The Game had Malinas Glory six lengths back in third when just denied by Freddie Robdal at Tramore last month, while Good As Hell is another for the shortlist. The topweight has gained both victories on decent ground including a 2m4f handicap chase here last autumn and shaped well on his reappearance at Clonmel last month where the combination of heavy ground and a step up in trip only just proved too much. Jack Holiday has a C&D win to his credit and again showed his liking for this venue when successfully reverting to hurdles last month.
Preference is for KNOW THE GAME, who was just touched off by an unexposed rival at Tramore last time and remains feasibly treated. Jack Holiday and Good As Hell should also go well.
None really stand out but COOLE ARCADE goes well here, likes the ground and runs well fresh so has plenty of positives

1/1(+33%) | (4) Maxxum 1/1, Useful hurdler who landed big-field handicap at Leopardstown in December. Respectable fourteenth of 23 in Pertemps at Cheltenham (24f, good to soft, 9/2) 49 days ago. Interesting now going chasing. Quickly rose from 99 to 138 over hurdles on last three 2022 starts, will be hard to beat. |

4/1(+11%) | (6) Walk Away 4/1, Useful chaser. Creditable second of 15 in handicap chase at Punchestown (21f, good to soft, 20/1). Off over 2 years but trainer going well so shouldn't be underestimated. Not seen since 2021 Punchestown festival, form is linked to several top-class horses. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (1.88/1 -7%) Hubrisko |
1.88/1(-7%) | (2) Hubrisko 1.88/1, Useful hurdler. Seventeenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (21.7f, soft, 12/1) 24 days ago. Makes chase debut. Yard in good form so merits consideration. Raised in class after Galway maiden hurdle win last autumn, 6lb below Maxxum over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (40/1 -21%) Sphagnum |
40/1(-21%) | (5) Sphagnum 40/1, Fair hurdler. Last of 9 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (22f, good to soft, 14/1) on debut over fences 13 days ago. Should still have more to offer. Progressive handicap hurdler on good ground last summer, poor on recent chase debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (1) (16/1 -14%) Clonmeen |
16/1(-14%) | (1) Clonmeen 16/1, Fairly useful chaser. 25/1, fair fourth of 19 in novice hurdle at this course (20.2f, soft) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase and not ruled out. Two wins and four seconds to his name in points, has picked up useful chasing experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (50/1 -67%) Winter Carnival |
50/1(-67%) | (7) Winter Carnival 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Limerick (24f, heavy) 127 days ago. Makes chase debut with something to prove now. Twice second in points, ran a couple of good races over hurdles at Limerick last spring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (3) (100/1 -52%) Imminent Arrival |
100/1(-52%) | (3) Imminent Arrival 100/1, Modest hurdler. 14/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (24f, soft) 63 days ago. Makes chase debut with more needed. Has struggled off marks in the 90s over hurdles, unlikely to feature on chasing debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1.2/1 (4) MAXXUM is likely to do well and has a good chance of finishing in 1st place. 14/1 (1) CLONMEEN and 2.5/1 (2) HUBRISKO are also worth considering and may finish in 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
MAXXUM might be able to take this on his debut over fences. He blitzed his rivals in big field, competitive handicaps at Navan and Leopardstown late last year, before disappointing at the Dublin Racing Festival when sent off favourite for a Grade B contest. He again failed to make a significant impact in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, but in much calmer waters now, he might return to the winners enclosure. Hubrisko is an interesting contender for Willie Mullins and is sure to prove popular with punters. He disappointed on his handicap debut over flights at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday but was tried in Graded company prior to that, finishing fourth when favourite for a Grade 2 at Cheltenham in November. Walk Away has some classy form to his name and is well capable of winning this. However, he is returning from a two-year absence and is probably best watched for the time being. Dual point-to-point winner Clonmeen looks best of the rest.
Gordon Elliott's MAXXUM has enjoyed an excellent season over hurdles and is fancied to make a winning start in this sphere at the chief expense of fellow chasing newcomer Hubrisko, who remains with few miles on the clock. Walk Away has the form to play a part too if fully wound up after a long absence.
Although disappointing when one of the main Irish fancies for the Pertemps Final MAXXUM could make an immediate impact over fences

1st (2) (2.75/1 -22%) Shantou Show |
2.75/1(-22%) | (2) Shantou Show 2.75/1, Promising sort. 13/2, won 9-runner hunter chase at Downpatrick (23.4f, heavy) on NH debut 32 days ago, comfortably. First run for yard after leaving Sean McParlan. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes plenty of appeal. Impressed in making a winning racecourse debut, form of point win has been well advertised. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (10) (6/1 +0%) Lar's Lass |
6/1(+0%) | (10) Lar's Lass 6/1, Fair chaser. One win from 2 runs last season. Winner in chase at Cork in April. Good second of 7 in hunter chase (7/2) at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Won in good style at Cork, no disgrace in losing out to Lord Schnitzel at Tramore. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (11/1 -10%) Brave Starlight |
11/1(-10%) | (5) Brave Starlight 11/1, Once-raced maiden. Tongue strap on, pulled up in hunter chase at Thurles (25.4f, soft, 6/1) on NH debut 52 days ago, struggling when slow 5 out. Hard to fancy. Maiden win at Quakerstown should have helped to build his confidence, others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (1.62/1 +68%) Asian Master |
1.62/1(+68%) | (3) Asian Master 1.62/1, Once-raced maiden. 18/1, second of 9 in bumper at Cork (19f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago, staying on well. Makes chase debut. Up in trip. Point winner who is worthy of respect making switch to fences. Two wins in points, underlined a healthy rate of improvement with Cork bumper second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (11) (18/1 +10%) Loughaneala Og |
18/1(+10%) | (11) Loughaneala Og 18/1, Modest chaser. Very good 7¾ lengths fourth of 14 to Lar's Lass in hunter chase (10/1) at Cork (24f, soft) 24 days ago. Needs to improve. Beaten almost 8l when fourth to Lar's Lass at Cork, has plenty of track experience. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (50/1 -25%) Lisleigh Lad |
50/1(-25%) | (6) Lisleigh Lad 50/1, Dansant gelding. Half-brother to useful hurdler Decimation. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 27f) Rev It Up. Mixed bag in points. Placed only once from six starts in points, makes no appeal in this grade. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (9) (50/1 -25%) Starlight Cato |
50/1(-25%) | (9) Starlight Cato 50/1, Once-raced maiden. 18/1, fell in hunter chase at Cork (24f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Others make more appeal. Inconsistent in points, let down by his jumping at Cork in his first hunter chase. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (8/1 -45%) Grange Island |
8/1(-45%) | (1) Grange Island 8/1, Fairly useful chaser. Winner in chase at Clonmel in January. Pulled up in hunter chase (11/2) at Cork (20f, soft) 24 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Obvious claims if he can bounce back. Good chance if his last two runs are discounted and if reproducing Clonmel and Naas form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (4) (11/1 -10%) Boss Robin |
11/1(-10%) | (4) Boss Robin 11/1, Once-raced maiden. Second of 8 in hunter chase at Cork (24f, soft, 15/2) on NH debut 24 days ago, no match for winner. Point winner on debut before take third, solid effort when second on racecourse debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (8) (25/1 -56%) Pure Decent |
25/1(-56%) | (8) Pure Decent 25/1, Shantou gelding. Brother to bumper winner Ballagh, stays 21f. Dam, lightly-raced maiden, out of sister to top-class staying chaser Jodami. Runner-up sole start in points (Apr 16). Showed promise on his belated debut at Tattersalls Farm, stepping up in class now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
First Place: 2.5/1 (2) SHANTOU SHOW Second Place: 8/1 (10) LAR'S LASS Third Place: 7/1 (1) GRANGE ISLAND
This has an open look to it, with ASIAN MASTER the suggestion for the father and son team of Tony and Tom Costello. A dual point-to-point winner, he finished second in a bumper at Cork on Easter Monday. Back over fences now and back up in trip, a bold bid looks likely from the son of Shirocco. The hat-trick seeking Shantou Show is an obvious danger. An easy winner on his racecourse debut at Downpatrick early last month, it'll come as a surprise if he is not involved towards the business end here. Pour Me A Double beat Ballydesmond by 14 lengths on his penultimate start at Tattersalls, with that one since successful at Down Royal on Monday. Trained by Willie Murphy, the Pour Moi gelding will be ridden by his wife Moira McElligott. The consistent Lar's Lass should give a good account of herself, while Grange Island is another capable of making his presence felt.
SHANTOU SHOW was off the mark at the second attempt in points and completed a successful chasing debut at Downpatrick a month ago. Despite moving yards since, he's fancied to go in again for all that Grange Island would be a big threat if back to the sort of form he showed when scoring at Clonmel in January. Asian Master is another one to consider.
Tony Costello may have the solution with ASIAN MASTER who probably surpassed his winning points form when second in a Cork bumper

14/1(+0%) | (1) Annalecka 14/1, Fame And Glory mare. Half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Fire Away. Successful on second of 2 starts in points (Feb 18). 5l winner over Iriskana at Oldtown in February for Colin Bowe; interesting. |

5th (10) (12/1 -71%) Orinoco Flow |
12/1(-71%) | (10) Orinoco Flow 12/1, €55,000 3-y-o, Saint Des Saints mare. Dam fair 2½m hurdle winner. Unplaced only completed start in points but she is in top hands, at least. Point-to-point form underwhelming but has to be respected on Rules debut from this source. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (12/1 -50%) Lucky Viv |
12/1(-50%) | (6) Lucky Viv 12/1, Maiden pointer but well backed and promising start when second of 9 in bumper (6/1) at Cork (16f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago. Recent Cork second but faces likely better opposition here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (4/1 +38%) Majestic Design |
4/1(+38%) | (8) Majestic Design 4/1, Imperial Monarch mare. Half-sister to 6 winners, including fairly useful chaser Clouded Thoughts. Dam bumper winner. Won both completed starts in points. Wears tongue strap. Much improved on March return to win both points'; respected. |

Dam maiden on Flat in France. Placed both starts in points, runner-up last time (beaten 5 lengths by Annalecka, Feb 18). Yard in form. 5l runner-up to Annalecka at Oldcastle in February; top rider remains loyal. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st: 35/1 (3) DIXIES GIRL 2nd: 16/1 (1) ANNALECKA 3rd: 4/1 (8) MAJESTIC DESIGN
Eight of these have won in the point-to-point sphere, with MAJESTIC DESIGN the only dual winner in the line-up. A half-sister to a whole host of winners, she claimed the Gain Mares Final on her most recent start at Ballynoe. Pebble Bleu is a half-sister to Remastered, a seven-time winner in the UK for David Pipe. She shaped with promise to finish third on her debut at Rathcannon and should give a good account of herself here with Jamie Codd booked to ride. A case can be made for many others, with the Willie Mullins-trained Spindleberry a leading contender. She won on debut for Mark O'Hare at Dromahane in December, with subsequent winners in third and fourth. Terence O'Brien saddles Pitwood Road and Ma Bess, with this duo also successful on their respective debuts. Second in a similar contest at Cork on Easter Monday, Lucky Viv is another for the shortlist, while Dixies Girl, Annalecka and Iriskana are others to consider.
It's hard to equate the point form on offer but it's safe to assume SPLINDLEBERRY and Orinoco Flow will be well prepared for this given the yards the represent, with marginal preference for the former given she won between the flags.
Very hard to assess but MAJESTIC DESIGN has returned in excellent form of late in points' and gets the vote

3/1(-33%) | (13) What's Up Darling 3/1, Once-raced maiden. Evens, third of 9 in bumper at Cork (19f, soft) on NH debut 24 days ago, having run of race. Beaten favourite in similar Cork contest last month but remains of interest. |

2nd (12) (4.5/1 +68%) Syracus Du Houx |
4.5/1(+68%) | (12) Syracus Du Houx 4.5/1, €46,000 3-y-o, Al Namix gelding. Dam 5.5f-1m winner. Placed both starts in points, runner-up latest (Jan 29). Made GBP85,000 after Ballyvodock second in January; more needed now on Rules debut. |

Dam unraced. Runner-up second of 2 starts in points (Mar 11). Merits respect. Half-brother to My Mate Mozzie placed in point and debuts for respected yard here. |

7/1(-40%) | (10) Quarry Rocco 7/1, Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Deputy Dan. Easy winner sole start in points (Mar 19). Interesting. Easy Liscaroll winner one to consider now on Rules debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (4) (33/1 -32%) Fear The Deere |
33/1(-32%) | (4) Fear The Deere 33/1, Morpheus gelding. Half-brother to 2 winners, including smart hurdler Sailors Warn. Dam 1m/9f winner. Placed twice from 3 starts in points, including when third last time (Apr 21). Placed on 2 of 3 point-to-points; others look to hold stronger claims. |

12th (14) (66/1 -65%) Wilder Days |
66/1(-65%) | (14) Wilder Days 66/1, Westerner gelding. Dam (b82) lightly raced in bumpers. Others make more appeal. Points' debut promising but nowhere near that form since and appears an unlikely one here. |

13th (11) (20/1 -122%) Snow Punt |
20/1(-122%) | (11) Snow Punt 20/1, Snow Sky gelding. Dam point winner. Successful on second of 2 starts in points (Mar 25). Lisronagh maiden winner in March (soft); others with stronger claims though. |

15th (8) (5/1 -11%) Keep Me Posted |
5/1(-11%) | (8) Keep Me Posted 5/1, Shirocco gelding. Dam modest 3m hurdle winner. Multiple point winner, including last time (easily, Apr 9). Third points' win at Oldcastle last month; likely major player on Rules debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
1st - 5/1 (10) QUARRY ROCCO 2nd - 22/1 (1) BITSNBUCKLES 3rd - 6.5/1 (15) THE OTHER MOZZIE
THE OTHER MOZZIE is in receipt of a weight allowance on account of his age and is in fact the only four-year-old in the line-up. A half-brother to My Mate Mozzie, he has two solid point-to-point efforts to his name, filling the runner-up spot on his most recent start at Kirkistown. He finished ahead of Rokathir there, with that one since successful at Rathcannon and sold for €110,000 at the Goffs Punchestown Sale last week. The Gavin Cromwell trained selection may appreciate this drop in trip and he will be ridden by Joey Dunne who claims a valuable 7lb. Keep Me Posted is a three-time point-to-point winner and should give a good account of himself with Emily Costello aboard for her uncle Thomas. He finished just a length-and-a-half behind Ultimate Optimist, twice successful on the track since, at Quakerstown in December. What's Up Darling was bought for £280,000 after winning a point-to-point in December. A beaten favourite when third on his debut for current connections at Cork on Easter Monday, it'll come as little surprise if he manages to go a few places better now. Others that warrant respect are Snow Punt, Quarry Rocco and Syracus De Houx.
KEEP ME POSTED is a multiple point winner who had plenty in hand on his latest outing in April and he's worth chancing to make a successful Rules debut at the possible expense of What's Up Darling, who was a respectable third in a bumper at Cork recently. The Other Mozzie and Quarry Rocco are also worthy of consideration.
What's Up Darling disappointed in a similar contest at Cork recently and preference is for triple points' scorer KEEP ME POSTED

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.
