Al Gasparo |
(1) (5/6 +17%)5/6(+17%) | (1) Al Gasparo 5/6, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. First run since leaving Dermot Anthony McLoughlin when good fourth of 18 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (19.6f, heavy, 4/1) 23 days ago. That may not prove his limit for this yard and one to consider. Comes here on the back of two good runs in Fairyhouse maidens; major player. |

Touch Me Not |
(11) (2/1 -23%)2/1(-23%) | (11) Touch Me Not 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 19 in novice hurdle at Naas (16f, soft) 18 days ago, headed 2 out and no extra. One of the likelier types on best form. Solid if not progressive in better maidens; prominent racer has to be a major player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Whatsyourproblem |
(12) (10/3 -33%)10/3(-33%) | (12) Whatsyourproblem 10/3, Twice-raced maiden under NH rules. 12/1, well-beaten sixth of 9 in bumper at Gowran (18f, heavy) on bumper debut 44 days ago. Hurdles debut second previously was an encouraging start in this sphere and he's one to consider if dispelling latest run. Gowran bumper run a concern, big chance on earlier Clonmel maiden hurdle second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A Brandy For Bob |
(14) (25/1 +24%)25/1(+24%) | (14) A Brandy For Bob 25/1, Westerner mare. Dam (c104/h110), 2½m hurdle winner, half-sister to smart hurdler/chaser (stays 25f) Sporting John. Nicely-bred newcomer, worth a market check. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rocky's Glory |
(7) (33/1 +67%)33/1(+67%) | (7) Rocky's Glory 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 150/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 15 in bumper at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on bumper debut. Off 10 months. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Well held last year, probably best watched on return although yard in good form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sloan Sq |
(8) (66/1 +34%)66/1(+34%) | (8) Sloan Sq 66/1, Malinas gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including bumper winner/useful 2m hurdle winner Favour And Fortune and useful hurdler Dreal Deal. Dam unraced. Wears hood. Hooded for debut and market likely best guide. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Desert Cave |
(4) (66/1 -371%)66/1(-371%) | (4) Desert Cave 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 21 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Naas (19f, heavy) 43 days ago. Likely type for low-grade handicaps in due course. Nothing to take from three runs in stronger maidens; probably more one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Storm Ryder |
(9) (66/1 +74%)66/1(+74%) | (9) Storm Ryder 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 200/1, fell in novice hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft) 48 days ago, off the pace when falling 2 out. Passed over. Little to take from three maidens, handicaps likely to be his scene in due course. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Benzine |
(2) (66/1 -65%)66/1(-65%) | (2) Benzine 66/1, Showed little in trio of starts on the Flat and fared no better in pair of hurdle runs last year, seventh of 9 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, soft) in October. Can only be watched on return. Soundly beaten both maiden hurdle runs, easily overlooked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Deise Bhoy |
(3) (125/1 -25%)125/1(-25%) | (3) Deise Bhoy 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.4f, soft) 4 days ago. Maiden pointer and two maiden hurdle runs modest. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
AL GASPARO won a point-to-point for Ciaran Murphy last year and showed promise over hurdles including when runner-up to the odds-on Mirazur West at Fairyhouse. The selection was having his first run for Gavin Cromwell at the same venue when fourth to Don Chalant over Easter and a return to two miles should suit. Touch Me Not was unlucky not to score in his only point-to-point last spring and has been in the money on all three hurdle starts this year. The Gordon Elliott-trained gelding has tended to finish a bit weakly and could be suited by this tighter track, while Whatsyourproblem made a promising start over hurdles at Clonmel but needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort in a Gowran bumper.
AL GASPARO continued his theme of race-by-race progress when finishing a good fourth on his yard debut at Fairyhouse 23 days ago and, with the drop back in trip unlikely to hold any fears, he shades the vote to come out on top. Whatsyourproblem back over hurdles and partnered by Paul Townend and Touch Me Not head up the dangers in a race distinctly lacking depth.
Only three matter, AL GASPARO getting the nod over Touch Me Not and Whatsyourproblem

Pidoyne |
(2) (7/2 +50%)7/2(+50%) | (2) Pidoyne 7/2, Course winner. 5/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 117 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Last year's winner absent since disappointing Christmas effort; runs well fresh though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Miss Gherkin |
(6) (7/2 +0%)7/2(+0%) | (6) Miss Gherkin 7/2, 16/1, career best when winning 18-runner handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 50 days ago, driven clear. Hit with a 9 lb hike for that but she is one of the most solid options. Leopardstown winner remains unexposed and likely more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Contrapposto |
(5) (9/1 +44%)9/1(+44%) | (5) Contrapposto 9/1, 28/1, sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 21 days ago. Veteran better for recent Cork comeback run but others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Garcon Doux |
(4) (9/1 +59%)9/1(+59%) | (4) Garcon Doux 9/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.7f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Others have achieved more. May need this comeback run although yard among the winners of late. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Queen Of Seduction |
(8) (10/1 +9%)10/1(+9%) | (8) Queen Of Seduction 10/1, Fairly useful Flat winner. Thrice-raced maiden over hurdles. First run for yard after leaving Mrs J. Harrington. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Difficult ask. May want better ground over hurdles and opening mark looks on the high side. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Forever Frankie |
(11) (10/1 +70%)10/1(+70%) | (11) Forever Frankie 10/1, Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.2f, soft, 25/1) 151 days ago. Has struggled in opening handicaps off a harsh enough mark; others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prince Quattro |
(16) (11/1 +73%)11/1(+73%) | (16) Prince Quattro 11/1, 22/1, 33 lengths eighth of 10 to Duke Otto in handicap hurdle at this course (16f, heavy). Off 6 months and looks up against it. Hasn't imposed himself so far in handicaps; reduced mark however and yard going well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Astrophysicist |
(13) (11/1 -57%)11/1(-57%) | (13) Astrophysicist 11/1, Remains a maiden after 20 NH runs. 9/1 and blinkers on for 1st time in this code, running well fell in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.5f, heavy) 43 days ago. Not taken lightly. Naas fall when running best race for sometime; worth considering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Up And Out |
(7) (14/1 -40%)14/1(-40%) | (7) Up And Out 14/1, Remains a maiden after 16 NH runs. Sixteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (15/2) at Navan (15.6f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Well held on softer ground at Navan in September so will want the ground to dry out here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Craic Eile |
(10) (14/1 -40%)14/1(-40%) | (10) Craic Eile 14/1, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. 22¼ lengths thirteenth of 15 to Duke Otto in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.1f, soft, 18/1) 172 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Runs well here but on a long losing run and wants better ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Duke Otto |
(3) (18/1 +18%)18/1(+18%) | (3) Duke Otto 18/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in November. 14/1, last of 16 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (16f, heavy) 117 days ago. Others more persuasive. Progressive autumn campaign included C&D win but handicapper seems to have his measure now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bite That |
(9) (22/1 -175%)22/1(-175%) | (9) Bite That 22/1, Course winner. One win from 26 NH runs. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 88 days ago. Merits consideration. C&D winner but well held of late and remains opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rauzan |
(14) (25/1 +38%)25/1(+38%) | (14) Rauzan 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Naas (18.8f, soft) 18 days ago, tailed off when pulled up early in straight. Tongue strap on 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. Never sighted on handicap debut at Naas; may improve on better ground, tongue-tie tried. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BOSTON BONGO spoiled a winning chance when blundering two out at Limerick last time and may have found a good opportunity to make amends. The Barry Fitzgerald-trained gelding, who was having just his second handicap start, rallied well after that mistake to be beaten only half-a-length and the sixth (Another Ocana) gave the form a timely boost when successful on Friday. Miss Gherkin left some modest maiden form well behind when scoring on her handicap debut at Leopardstown last month, while dual-purpose gelding Contrapposto made a pleasing reappearance at the Cork Easter meeting. Inchiquin Star, Pidoyne and Duke Otto all won over C&D last year, while Astrophysicist is another to consider.
The vote goes to PIDOYNE, who failed to fire at Limerick when last seen in late-December but he was in good form prior to that and will have every chance if he puts his best foot forward. Miss Gherkin has to be feared on the back of her Leopardstown display a couple of weeks ago, while Boston Bongo is another with decent enough claims.
Preference is for BOSTON BONGO (nap), who might likely of won but for blundering two out at Limerick last time

Switches from chase to hurdles. Much respected on his handicap hurdle debut. Recent hunter-chase second a potential improver here on handicap hurdle debut. |

Blossom De Mai |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BLOSSOM DE MAI returned from nearly a year's absence to open her account over C&D last November. The Philip Rothwell-trained mare has been quite lightly raced since and comes here on the back of a creditable third to Lovely Reaction at Leopardstown. Brownstone hails from a yard that recorded a double recently at Down Royal and the Yeats gelding has been generally consistent since winning over two miles at Fairyhouse last autumn, although he needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort at Punchestown. Glady Max showed some promise over hurdles last spring and now tackles handicap company for the first time after winning twice in point-to-points. Toor Moon and Jacks Fancy are others to note.
Lots of these have a question mark against them but BLOSSOM DE MAI arrives on the back of a good Leopardstown third and can also boast a C&D success so looks the way to go. Handicap debutant Glady Max is feared most with few miles on the clock, with I Am Spider Man weighted to have a say too if back on his A-game.
C&D winner BLOSSOM DE MAI, a good third in a better-class Leopardstown contest last month, gets the vote

Surf Club |

No worthwhile form as yet, including on her chase debut here in January. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
WHATEYS QUEST might benefit from some neat planning and having won on Thursday, is well-in as he pursues a debut chase win. His Clonmel success was gained in an unplaced maiden hurdle but nonetheless his revised 111 rating would have excluded him from this race, prior to entry stage. Today's same rider claims 2lb less but has the size to do well over fences. Willie Mullins' lightly-raced eight-year-old Surf Club is no star but is race-fit and could be suited by stepping up in distance on chase debut. Walk Out was left clear at the final fence to win by 37 lengths in a recent point-to-point and being rated 94 over hurdles, has place claims receiving her 7lb mares' allowance. Similarly rated Knocknagappagh is a 23-race maiden while Gali Flight is a 30-race maiden. Iron Allen won an unplaced maiden hurdle last December and has chase experience, while General Clermont is quite exposed.
WHATEYS QUEST is immediately sent chasing after getting off the mark over hurdles at Clonmel last week and can make a successful debut over the larger obstacles. Surf Club and Walk Out head the list of dangers.
A very ordinary beginners' chase and last week's maiden hurdle winner WHATEYS QUEST should have as good a chance as any.

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
LISTENHERETOMEJACK's recent form is ordinary but a capable three-time hurdle winner who competes from a favourable chase rating. Winner of a competitive hurdle on Thyestes Chase day in 2023, he returned lame on his next run and, in last January's renewal of the Gowran race, was reported to be 'clinically abnormal'. However, he showed a little more at Cork recently and today competes from a 9lb lower rating than over hurdles. Drying ground will suit Kilmurry Jj, who is unexposed in chases, but makes his seasonal reappearance. A 10-race maiden, he has nonetheless run some nice races in defeat over hurdles and while well beaten on chase debut at Thurles last October, that was on unsuitably soft ground. Gold Haven is a 20-race maiden but has been running reasonably well in recent hurdles, although debuts over fences. Keep Me Posted is a three-time point-to-point winner and while his racecourse form is poor, is interesting on handicap debut.
GOLD HAVEN has been placed 3 times over hurdles this season and might be worth chancing to make a winning start over fences in a modest handicap. Listenheretomejack and Elegant Dan are respected, while Erigmoor would be of real interest if getting a run.
On his Galway run earlier in the season DA BIG FELLA would have to hold a serious chance, although he needs to improve on recent form

Nice To Meet |
(2) (7/2 +46%)7/2(+46%) | (2) Nice To Meet 7/2, Fairly useful chaser. 11/1, respectable fourth of 9 in hunter chase at Cork (20f, heavy) 21 days ago. Some flashes of very good form and it was a good hunter chase in which he was 4th latest. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Consistent DROMLEIGH can turn previous form with today's rival Casey West. Twice beaten by Casey West, is 7lb better off today and was within in a head of that rival at Clonmel last-time-out. The selection has fine jumping scope and has winning point-to-point form on yielding ground. Casey West is himself consistent and able and there shouldn't be too much between the pair. Mikey O'Connor switches to ride his own Nice To Meet, who won at Listowel last June and while well-held behind a smart winner at Cork recently, will be ideally suited by today's drying ground. Carrig Wells steps up in grade from his Cork success, where Shiroccosmagicgem finished fifth.
DROMLEIGH can reverse Clonmel placings with Casey West on these revised terms. The Brickey Ranger is a winning pointer and might be up to making his presence felt on his first go in one of these.
A few chances but NICE TO MEET has some flashes of really good form in hunter chases and he edges preference.
Ths is the racecard key.

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.
