Magnetic North |
(3) (7/2 +13%)7/2(+13%) | (3) Magnetic North 7/2, Fairly useful gelding. Didn't need to improve to win 8-runner claimer at Gowran (8f, good, 6/1) 22 days ago, taking time to get going. Significantly back up in trip. Good chance again at this level. Beat a solid yardstick over 1m at Gowran, previously split French Company and Kendancer. |

Lunar Bird |
(5) (11/1 -144%)11/1(-144%) | (5) Lunar Bird 11/1, Lightly-raced winner. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving David Simcock. Remains unexposed. Won a 1m2f Ripon novice on her first run last season, not as effective over 1m4f after. |

Bolero |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
The vote goes to MAGNETIC NORTH, who landed the corresponding event 12 months ago. The nine-year-old was on target at Gowran last month and must hold every chance of retaining his crown, while he does not have much to find with the likes of Morph Speed, who is top-rated from a mark of 79. He finished last of 10 in a competitive handicap on his most recent outing but dropping in class may see him get more involved now. Lunar Bird is one to note on her Irish debut. The Cracksman filly was a winner in England last year and is entitled to play a part if running to her mark of 75.
KENDANCER wasn't seen to best effect in a similar event last time on the back of 2 claiming hurdle wins and he's worth another chance. Magnetic North and Lunar Bird are feared.
The vote goes to MAGNETIC NORTH who has a good record in claiming races and is a C&D winner

Leading claims back in a maiden (was first past post in Sligo handicap in May). Handicap form has not quite matched his best maiden runs, leading chance in this company. |

Kings Hill |
(4) (16/5 -28%)16/5(-28%) | (4) Kings Hill 16/5, Useful jumps winner, making GB/IRE Flat debut. Fourth of 24 in listed handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft, 14/1) 70 days ago. Classy jumper, well worth a look. Useful young handicap hurdler, ran a fine race at the Punchestown festival, interesting. |

Stariam |
(8) (7/2 -56%)7/2(-56%) | (8) Stariam 7/2, Lightly-raced filly. Good second of 8 in maiden at Down Royal (12.8f, good, 13/2) 17 days ago, no match for winner. Respected. Runner-up three times, good chance now after her run behind a smart mare at Down Royal. |

Soldier Solid |
(6) (20/1 -43%)20/1(-43%) | (6) Soldier Solid 20/1, Fairly useful jumps winner, making GB/IRE Flat debut after 16 months off. Makes Flat debut, absent since landing a maiden hurdle at Punchestown early last year. |

Black Heather |

Single Edition |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fanaigi Linn |
(7) (28/1 +15%)28/1(+15%) | (7) Fanaigi Linn 28/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 11 Flat runs. Off 95 days. Unplaced in 11 starts, showed some potential when with Jim Bolger but seems regressive now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
STARIAM wouldn't be winning out of turn here having been runner-up on her last three outings. The Sea The Stars filly bumped into a smart sort last time when chasing home Magical Zoe at Down Royal and this looks like a winnable opportunity now. Her 5lb fillies allowance may prove crucial against Carlo Bianconi, who is rated a couple of pounds superior. The Galiway gelding has also been knocking on the door and ran with credit in a very competitive handicap on Derby Day at the Curragh last time. Kings Hill, a smart horse over hurdles, is an interesting one tried on the level now.
KINGS HILL is a classy jumper and is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Carlo Bianconi is feared most ahead of Stariam.
Runner-up on three occasions STARIAM faces nothing of the calibre of smart hurdler Magical Zoe who beat her at Down Royal.

Fairytale Princess |
(1) (5/4 +17%)5/4(+17%) | (1) Fairytale Princess 5/4, Latest win at the Curragh in May. Good fourth of 12 in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good, 8/1) 15 days ago and this is an easier race. Has nearly 4l to make up on No Niki No from Ballinrobe last time and only 2lb better off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No Niki No |
(2) (7/4 -7%)7/4(-7%) | (2) No Niki No 7/4, Good second of 12 in handicap (22/1) at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 15 days ago. Expected to make a bold bid from the front. Caught late on over 1m5f at Ballinrobe last time and capable of a big run raised 1lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Vidisha |
(3) (8/1 -129%)8/1(-129%) | (3) Vidisha 8/1, 9/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Gowran (14f, good) 22 days ago, needing stiffer test. Stable having good spell but drop in trip is a concern. The best of two Irish efforts was over 1m6f at Gowran last time; needs more down just 1lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hasten Slowly |
(4) (17/2 +6%)17/2(+6%) | (4) Hasten Slowly 17/2, 28/1, won 11-runner claimer at Limerick (11.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago. This is a better race but she can remain competitive. Won a Limerick claimer over just short of this trip last time; best form is on fast ground. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As Fast As Wind |
(5) (12/1 +52%)12/1(+52%) | (5) As Fast As Wind 12/1, Eleventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 40/1). Off 158 days. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time but mark looks too high on recent form. Maiden was below form when last seen at Dundalk and cheekpieces need to spark a revival. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A confirmed front-runner who was just denied in similar company at Ballinrobe last time, NO NIKI NO can gain compensation. The Eoghan O'Neill-trained mare disappointed at Goodwood on her previous start but had gone close at Sligo on her seasonal reappearance prior to that. On a tight right-handed track that favours prominent racers, the eight-year-old has much to recommend her. Fairytale Princess, a winner at the Curragh on Guineas weekend, was behind No Niki No at Ballinrobe last time. However, at these revised weights the Ger Lyons-trained filly can make a race of it. Limerick Claiming race winner Hasten Slowly will need to improve in order to feature in this stronger grade but at least she arrives here in good form.
NO NIKI NO Is an uncomplicated ride and dominating a smaller field than she is used to encountering looks a distinct possibility. Fairytale Princess finished behind the selection last time but it was another very good effort, while Vidisha will be plugging on back in trip.
NO NIKI NO(nap)'s tactical speed will be a big asset at this track and she can confirm Ballinrobe with Fairytale Princess.

Forlio |
(6) (5/2 +67%)5/2(+67%) | (6) Forlio 5/2, Overcame a 19-month absence (well backed) when successful in 14-runner handicap at Limerick (11.2f) in May. May have found race coming too soon at Tipperary later that month and he's been given a 6-week break ahead of this. Bounce back distinctly possible. Won at Limerick on first run after long absence, unplaced at Tipperary since. |

Desert Friend |
(3) (5/2 +17%)5/2(+17%) | (3) Desert Friend 5/2, Won 11-runner handicap (11/2) at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 15 days ago, leading inside last ½f and pushed out. Possibilities again up 6 lb. Versatile sort, recent 1m5f Ballinrobe winner, may remain competitive off 6lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Expound |
(2) (5/1 -82%)5/1(-82%) | (2) Expound 5/1, Won 8-runner maiden at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good, 5/1) 15 days ago, getting first run and all out to hold on. Should give another good account back in handicap company. Belatedly off the mark at Ballinrobe, beaten a neck by Dark Note here a year ago. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dark Note |
(1) (5/1 -25%)5/1(-25%) | (1) Dark Note 5/1, Hurdles winner who displayed a good attitude when landing this race 12 months ago. Largely held form well over hurdles earlier this year and he's best not judged too harshly on his chase debut effort at Tipperary 7 days ago. Type to bounce back. Beat Expound narrowly in this last year, ran well over hurdles on penultimate start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Spy |
(5) (15/2 -114%)15/2(-114%) | (5) Spy 15/2, Has proved temperamental but comes here in good nick, shaping better than bare result when seventh of 11 in handicap at Roscommon (10.3f, good to firm) 7 days ago, meeting trouble but finishing off his race well. One to note, particularly if the market speaks in his favour. Noted staying on at the finish at Roscommon last week, first Irish win could be imminent. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rushford |
(7) (33/1 +0%)33/1(+0%) | (7) Rushford 33/1, 15½ lengths ninth of 11 to Desert Friend in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good, 28/1) 15 days ago, weakening final 1f. Good deal to prove at present. Hard to fancy having finished down the field behind Desert Friend at Ballinrobe. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Kings Prince |
(8) (33/1 +0%)33/1(+0%) | (8) Kings Prince 33/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. Fifteenth of 16 in handicap at Limerick (17f, good to firm, 66/1) 27 days ago. Back down in trip. Second in two handicaps last season but has been struggling this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Snapius |
(4) (33/1 -313%)33/1(-313%) | (4) Snapius 33/1, 50/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 10 days ago, leading briefly 2f out and weakening soon after. Others more persuasive. Two Flat wins for Joseph O'Brien, out of form since placed over 1m2f at Ayr last year. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Runner-up to Dark Note here 12 months ago, EXPOUND may be able to turn the tables. Conceding 3lb to the winner on that occasion, the Denis Hogan-trained gelding can race off level weights now with Daniel King claiming an additional 5lb. Having opened his account in a Ballinrobe maiden last time, the five-year-old arrives here in winning form. The aforementioned Dark Note has to be a live contender given his proven ability to handle this track. Andrew Slattery's five-year-old was pulled up over fences last time but had been second over hurdles on his penultimate start. The Night Of Thunder gelding will almost certainly be prominent from the outset. Limerick winner Forlio has to have every chance with Colin Keane retaining the ride on the Paul Flynn-trained gelding.
EXPOUND is versatile as regards trip and having belatedly opened his account in a Ballinrobe maiden 2 weeks ago, he shades the vote to continue the good work returned to handicaps. Fellow last-time-out winner Desert Friend and last year's winner Dark Note head up the dangers, with Spy another to note.
There is probably a race of this standard to be won with SPY who has given the impression that this trip will help his cause

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Metamorpheus |
(1) (7/2 +0%)7/2(+0%) | (1) Metamorpheus 7/2, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful 2m hurdles winner. Good fifth of 13 in handicap (17/2) at Listowel (16.2f, good) 37 days ago. Back down in trip and should make his presence felt. Rated 117 over hurdles; ran respectably on Flat handicap debut over 2m; shorter trip suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Contrapposto |
(8) (9/2 +0%)9/2(+0%) | (8) Contrapposto 9/2, One win from 48 Flat runs, which was gained back in 2016. Won 15-runner handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft, 9/2) 4 days ago. Would have a serious chance if in a similar mood back on the level. Hurdle winner four days ago but is only 1-46 on Flat turf, albeit fairly consistent. |

No Trouble |

Enters calculations. Solid run over this trip at Bellewstown four days ago and can go well if repeating that. |

Astrophysicist |

Tudor Manor |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Butterfly Garden |
(4) (10/1 -43%)10/1(-43%) | (4) Butterfly Garden 10/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (12f). Off 137 days. Each-way chance if raring to go. C&D winner in 2022; regressive last year while running well at times; needs return to form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Action Motion |
(5) (12/1 +25%)12/1(+25%) | (5) Action Motion 12/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 50/1, pulled up in novice chase at Tipperary (19.4f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Best to look elsewhere. Maiden on the Flat after 18 starts and disappointing when last seen in this sphere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
With the Kevin Prendergast stable hitting form of late, a chance is taken on BUTTERFLY GARDEN to add to her previous win at this venue. Successful off 7lb higher as a three-year-old, the daughter of Awtaad ran well subsequently off higher ratings. She has been off the track since an encouraging sixth at Dundalk back in February but has run well fresh in the past. Top-weight Metamorpheus rates a serious danger for the Paul Nolan stable. Fifth in a higher grade at Listowel last month, the gelding should be better suited to dropping back in trip here. No Trouble, who finished second at Bellewstown on Friday evening, should be involved if this race doesn't come too soon.
CHUTZPAL made an encouraging start for this yard following an absence of almost six months at Fairyhouse and he is a strong candidate with that run under his belt. It's been an awful long time since the 10-y-o Contrapposto registered his sole success on the Flat but he has to be feared off a lowly mark on the back of a victory over hurdles last week. No Trouble is best of the rest.
Having looked as if 2m was too far on handicap debut last time, METAMORPHEUS might be able to score down in trip and grade.

Rain |

Jabbar |

Nostra Casa |
(2) (3.75/1 +46%)3.75/1(+46%) | (2) Nostra Casa 3.75/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Navan in April. Creditable sixth of 17 in handicap (14/1) at the Curragh (14f, soft) 44 days ago, never nearer. Not discounted. Won a Navan handicap over 1m5f on return; below that level off higher marks twice since. |

New Year Honours |

Fairly useful on the Flat, good on last Flat run. Worth considering back in this sphere. Solid AW efforts last winter but questions after being pulled-up over hurdles on return. |

Longclaw |
(1) (10/1 +0%)10/1(+0%) | (1) Longclaw 10/1, Fourteenth of 17 in handicap (66/1) at the Curragh (16f, good) 11 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form but has something to prove. In good form on AW last winter; can improve from his Curragh seasonal debut and a chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Bottom-weight RAIN is of interest. A step up to 2m saw her keep on for fifth in a valuable handicap at the Curragh and she looks well worth another crack over this distance. She has been placed four times in Ireland and did win over an extended 1m6f in France. Nostra Casa won over this trip at Thurles last season and that will really stand him in good stead for this test. Longclaw was well behind Rain at the Curragh, but should get to dictate his own fractions off the front in this small-field contest and is respected. Jabbar is markedly up in trip, but does know where the winning post is.
NARLITA was shaping up well towards the end of last season and she's likely to strip fitter for her reappearance, so she gets the nod ahead of Jabbar, who ran with credit at Roscommon last time. Rain should give another good account but doesn't appear to have much in hand.
A chance is taken on NARLITA to score up to a new trip. She handled this track when third in a maiden last year.

Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Potentially well treated if the race doesn't come too soon. Won twice over hurdles at this venue in 2021, back in form with good hurdles run on Sunday. |

(10) (28/1 +15%)28/1(+15%) | (10) Kashi 28/1, 40/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at Gowran (14f, heavy) 61 days ago. Others make more appeal. Two wins over hurdles, modest Flat form, hard to make a strong case for him. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
RAUZAN ran up a couple of victories over hurdles at this track and Downpatrick during May and June, so appeals off a mark of 61 on this return to the Flat. In addition, Wesley Joyce takes 5lb off his back. Calmafterthestorm came from a long way back to shed her maiden tag over an extended 1m4f in Down Royal, so you can see the reasoning behind the step up in trip. Grann's Boy is well versed in picking up prize money and another decent effort looks likely. Katzoff may only be rated 40, however, he was gambled on in a handicap hurdle at Cork and ran well in second which gives him a chance.
RAUZAN is handicapped to win in this sphere and has been thriving over hurdles, so he makes most appeal. A market move for Young Lucy with Colin Keane up would make that one very interesting. Grann's Boy and Calmafterthestorm arrive in good order and are feared.
A mistake two out proved costly for SPINNING WEB at Tipperary last week. Two Flat runs in May suggest he will be suited by this trip

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.
