1st (8) (8/1 -60%) Rotten Row |
8/1(-60%) | (8) Rotten Row 8/1, Fair winner at 20f over hurdles but chasing career very much a mixed bag to date, beaten some way out (ultimately pulled up) in a Kilbeggan maiden (19.5f) back in June. Needs to get back on track here. Three wins under his belt and well suited by race conditions, one to take on board. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (1.62/1 +1%) Itwasfate |
1.62/1(+1%) | (7) Itwasfate 1.62/1, Fairly useful chaser. Good third of 10 in handicap chase (11/4) at Wexford (16f, heavy) 6 days ago. Stable having good spell. Solid claims with Blackmore again in the plate. Beaten favourite at Wexford but ran a big race, nice opportunity to recoup the losses. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (2/1 +33%) Ahead Of The Posse |
2/1(+33%) | (3) Ahead Of The Posse 2/1, Hurdles winner who showed improved form equipped with first-time blinkers when good second of 19 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Galway (16.6f, soft) 17 days ago. No reason why he won't be up to making his mark now tackling larger obstacles with blinkers again enlisted. Cracking run in a Galway Festival handicap hurdle latest, no surprise if right in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/1 +25%) Bonarc |
9/1(+25%) | (5) Bonarc 9/1, Fair hurdler. Seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 22/1) 34 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Placed all three starts so far over fences, veteran of the field capable of testing them. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (6) (7/1 +0%) Chrisco |
7/1(+0%) | (6) Chrisco 7/1, Placed both starts in bumpers and fair form when third on hurdles bow at Sligo (17.6f) in June. Not matched that level either start since but given more of a break ahead of this switch to chasing and surprise were he not capable of better for his powerful stable. Fav' on first couple of starts but yet to set the track alight, Chasing could be the key. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (8.5/1 -42%) Freddie Robdal |
8.5/1(-42%) | (1) Freddie Robdal 8.5/1, Fair chaser. Winner over C&D in April. Good sixth of 10 in handicap chase (15/2) at Wexford (16f, heavy) 6 days ago, going well when not clear run twice home turn. Fancied to be in the mix despite conceding weight all round. Again the stables number two and may have to settle for a minor placing at best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (150/1 -275%) Abu Hazem |
150/1(-275%) | (2) Abu Hazem 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, fourteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) 79 days ago. Hard to fancy making chase debut. Modest operator over hurdles and appears to be in at the deep end, makes limited appea. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|RR| (4) (80/1 -142%) Alexharwill |
80/1(-142%) | (4) Alexharwill 80/1, Modest hurdler who is yet to fully match his hurdles form in this sphere. 12/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap chase at Thurles (18f, good to soft) in November. Remains a long-standing maiden and likely to fall short again returning from 9 months off. Some encouraging signs on one two occasions over fences but overall record is patchy. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Itwasfate and Freddie Robdal finished third and sixth at Wexford on Friday last, with just over two lengths between the Henry de Bromhead-trained pair. A swing in the weights should see the Rachael Blackmore ridden former confirm the form. Successful here on New Year's Day, Ahead Of The Posse starts off over fences and is a leading contender after filling the runner-up spot in a competitive affair at Galway recently. Beaten three times when odds-on, Chrisco also starts off over the larger obstacles and warrants respect coming from the Willie Mullins yard. For a selection, it might be worth siding with ROTTEN ROW. A winner at the festival 12 months ago, he was a respectable fourth on his penultimate start at Kilbeggan and with Waterford owners, he is sure to be primed for this assignment.
A fairly useful sort over hurdles, ITWASFATE matched the pick of his form in that sphere when finishing third on handicap chase debut at Wexford 6 days ago and he can confirm the promise of that run and come out on top. Ahead of The Posse and the selection's stablemate Freddie Robdal head up the dangers.
A trappy affair but ITWASFATE, in the frame on all three starts over fences can his turn at the expense of Ahead Of The Posse

1st (8) (9/1 -50%) Willywampus |
9/1(-50%) | (8) Willywampus 9/1, Fair chaser. 25/1, creditable sixth of 17 in handicap chase at Tipperary (23.1f, soft) 44 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Hung to his right when a respectable sixth at Tipperary, plenty of boxes are ticked. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (5.5/1 +54%) Gali Flight |
5.5/1(+54%) | (4) Gali Flight 5.5/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 26 NH runs. 8/1, eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Wexford (19.8f, heavy) 6 days ago, folding home turn. Placed on three of his six starts chasing but consistency not one of his stronger suits. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (1.62/1 +46%) Some Dove |
1.62/1(+46%) | (10) Some Dove 1.62/1, Fair winner at 21f over hurdles. Encouragement to glean from 2 of her 3 starts over fences, probably doing too much too soon when third in a Tipperary maiden (19.5f) 44 days ago. One to consider. Winning hurdler here and better form chasing than quite a few in this one, lots to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (6/1 +50%) Roman Parish |
6/1(+50%) | (6) Roman Parish 6/1, Modest hurdler. 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good) 4 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Narrowly lost out over hurdles on Sunday, but a rating of 90 here leaves him up against it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (5.5/1 +54%) Speed Gang |
5.5/1(+54%) | (7) Speed Gang 5.5/1, Fair chaser. 12/1, respectable ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) 42 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Form figures of 'F-P-F' over fences hardly inspiring but better than the bare form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (40/1 +20%) Croi Corcra |
40/1(+20%) | (9) Croi Corcra 40/1, Multiple point winner. Little form over hurdles, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f) 5 weeks ago. Makes chase debut. Handy pointer (four from six) has produced very little h'dling and in a bumper, work to do. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|U| (11) (3.5/1 +42%) Will You Win |
3.5/1(+42%) | (11) Will You Win 3.5/1, Fair hurdler who shed maiden tag at Clonmel (19.5f) in April. Similar form back over fences when third of 7 in novice chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 12/1) 27 days ago. In the mix with a repeat. Recent Kilbeggan third brings this front-runner right into the reckoning, every chance. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
After winning at Downpatrick and Killarney, Ceanndana starts off over fences and should give a good account of himself. Listentillitellyea also makes his debut over the larger obstacles and after finishing a fine second at Ballinrobe on Tuesday, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. Roman Parish and Some Dove are other leading contenders, with the former beaten just a head at Downpatrick on Sunday last, but WILL YOU WIN gets the nod. A close-up third behind two smart performers at Kilbeggan on her last start, a reproduction of that effort should see her go close. Willywampus has some solid efforts to his name and is another who warrants respect in this open affair.
Despite seemingly doing too much too soon, SOME DOVE shaped as if still in good form when third in a Tipperary novice 44 days ago and remaining capable of better in this sphere, she looks to hold good claims of opening her account. Ceanndana is progressing well over hurdles and is also respected now tackling larger obstacles. Will You Win and Doctor Churchill complete the shortlist.

1st (4) (5/1 -11%) Rockview Consort |
5/1(-11%) | (4) Rockview Consort 5/1, Fairly useful on Flat, stays 1½m, won maiden at Dundalk when last seen 6 months ago. One to consider on hurdling debut. Hurdling debut, Dundalk winner and generally reliable around the mid-70's on the level. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (1.1/1 +0%) Born In Purple |
1.1/1(+0%) | (3) Born In Purple 1.1/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France, stays 10.5f, fourth in handicap when last seen in November 2022. Left J. Reynier €55,000 after that run and makes obvious appeal on hurdling debut having joined this yard. One from eight on the flat for former yard in France and now debuts for Willie Mullins. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (2.5/1 +38%) Como Park |
2.5/1(+38%) | (2) Como Park 2.5/1, Useful winner at 13f on Flat. 9/4, disappointed bearing in mind hurdling debut promise 4 months earlier when well-beaten fourth of 18 in maiden hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Never really travelling at Cork, shaped nicely prior to that and a tongue-tie now added. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (9/1 +10%) Mr Globalist |
9/1(+10%) | (10) Mr Globalist 9/1, Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. 15/2, went backwards from reappearance when seventh of 12 in maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Experienced operator with a sporting chance on best form and now tried in cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (20/1 +60%) Chutzpal |
20/1(+60%) | (1) Chutzpal 20/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat (stays 2m), looked badly in need of the experience sent hurdling back in May. Respectable efforts on the level since but unlikely to be troubling the judge back in this sphere. Former Dundalk 2m winner sent to post 100's when pulled-up on sole start over hurdles. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (11) (18/1 -100%) R S Ambush |
18/1(-100%) | (11) R S Ambush 18/1, Offered some encouragement when fourth of 16 in maiden hurdle (50/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) on debut 3 weeks ago. Showed a fair amount of potential when fourth on debut and can only improve, claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (25/1 +50%) Blue Reed |
25/1(+50%) | (6) Blue Reed 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in novice hurdle (200/1) at Galway (16.6f, soft) 17 days ago. Best watched. Fired in at the deep end at Galway, not a bad effort at Cork prior to that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (100/1 -150%) Man Oh Man |
100/1(-150%) | (9) Man Oh Man 100/1, Shaped better than first time up when eleventh of 16 in maiden hurdle (25/1) at Limerick (16f, soft) 3 weeks ago. Some signs of more to come at Limerick but will be of bigger interest down the road. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (13) (200/1 -100%) Sea The Sunset |
200/1(-100%) | (13) Sea The Sunset 200/1, Well held over hurdles so far and finished last of 13 in handicap at Tipperary (12.5f, soft, 80/1) 6 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Poor on the flat and no great shakes over hurdles either so far, needs to light the burner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (15) (150/1 -50%) Legal Secretary |
150/1(-50%) | (15) Legal Secretary 150/1, 150/1, made an inauspicious start over hurdles after 21 months off when fell first in maiden hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 34 days ago. 150's when she packed her bags at the first on debut over hurdles at Cork, outsider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (100/1 +0%) Imperial Delta |
100/1(+0%) | (8) Imperial Delta 100/1, 100/1, shaped as if in need of the experience when tenth of 18 in maiden hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) on debut 34 days ago. Cut little ice on debut at Cork, needs to have made giant strides, best observed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (12) (80/1 -60%) Rene Artois |
80/1(-60%) | (12) Rene Artois 80/1, 50/1, did no better for debut in this sphere when ninth of 14 in maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good) 3 days ago. Has struggled both starts so far over hurdles and remains a weak betting proposition. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (5) (66/1 -65%) Black Vega |
66/1(-65%) | (5) Black Vega 66/1, Well held in bumper but hinted at ability when ninth of 16 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) on hurdles bow 3 weeks ago. Step forward needed. Looks more of a long term project at present, will need to step on the gas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (14) (50/1 -52%) Its Not Over Yet |
50/1(-52%) | (14) Its Not Over Yet 50/1, 10/1, shaped similarly to on debut despite the longer trip when sixth of 10 in bumper at Sligo (18f, good to soft) 65 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Better on bumper debut run at Tipperary than at Sligo in the interim, others look stronger. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (300/1 -200%) Can't Think |
300/1(-200%) | (7) Can't Think 300/1, 125/1, looked badly in need of the experience when last of 16 in maiden hurdle at Limerick (16f, soft) on debut 3 weeks ago. 125's when last of sixteen on Limerick debut, easy to look elsewhere. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
This looks to concern just a few, with BORN IN PURPLE appearing the most likely winner. One from eight on the level in France, she hasn't been seen since November and starts off for Willie Mullins now. Como Park has some valuable hurdling experience to his name and is given second preference, fitted with a tongue strap for the first time. A dual winner on the Flat when trained by Joseph O'Brien, he was a close-up fourth on his hurdling debut at Navan, disappointing most recently at Cork. Hurdling debutant Rockview Consort is an interesting contender for John McConnell. A model of consistency, he made the breakthrough at Dundalk in February and had three subsequent winners in behind. Mr Globalist and R S Ambush both have place claims.
A case of quantity over quality with only a handful making any serious appeal, French-import BORN IN PURPLE selected to make a winning start over hurdles for champion trainer Willie Mullins. Como Park needs to leave a lesser effort behind, but he heads up the dangers now tongue tied having shaped promisingly first time up over timber at Navan in March. Rockview Consort and Mr Globalist round off the shortlist.

Karen's Gift |
(9) (20/1 -25%)20/1(-25%) | (9) Karen's Gift 20/1, Latest win in hurdle at Down Royal in January. 4/1, pulled up in handicap chase at this course (15.2f, good) 76 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Worth a market check back from a break. Not a bad record over hurdles (2-13) and seems to handle the track well, place claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1st (1) (2/1 +20%) Royal Eagle |
2/1(+20%) | (1) Royal Eagle 2/1, One win from 3 runs last season. 13/2, creditable third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Could get back to winning ways in this less-competitive event. Kilbeggan winner in May has posted fine runs in defeat in the interim, lots to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (16/1 +52%) Tom Mcgreevy |
16/1(+52%) | (5) Tom Mcgreevy 16/1, Unreliable type. Tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 40 days ago, refusing to settle. Others make more appeal. Goes well here and no surprise if connections had this mapped out for quite some time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (6.5/1 +0%) Craic Eile |
6.5/1(+0%) | (10) Craic Eile 6.5/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 22/1, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good) 28 days ago. Not taken lightly. Both wins came here, latest seventh a small step in the right direction. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (14/1 +13%) Clever Currency |
14/1(+13%) | (6) Clever Currency 14/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle (18/1) at Cork (17f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Needs to bounce back. Folded tamely enough at Cork, more than cabaple when on song but needs best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (40/1 -233%) Pro Bono |
40/1(-233%) | (4) Pro Bono 40/1, Fifth of 6 in minor event hurdle (20/1) at Wexford (16.7f, good) 57 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time over jumps. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Needs to up his game. Maden winner struggled in novice company latest, should find this more suitable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (9/1 -125%) Hearts Are Trumps |
9/1(-125%) | (2) Hearts Are Trumps 9/1, 8/1, much improved when winning 15-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 23 days ago. Remains with handicapping scope on old form and is liable to go well again. 6lb rise for recent win perhaps not as big a worry as inconsistency these days but feared. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (5.5/1 +8%) Red Ball Of Fire |
5.5/1(+8%) | (3) Red Ball Of Fire 5.5/1, Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in July. Creditable sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft, 28/1) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Not ruled out. Has done all of her winning at Sligo, ground probably went for her at Galway, claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (9/1 -50%) Dixie Flyer |
9/1(-50%) | (7) Dixie Flyer 9/1, Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good, 11/1) 28 days ago. Claims if he can back up that performance. Course form a worry but shaped well at Killarney on reappearance and shaper now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (3.33/1 +70%) Contrapposto |
3.33/1(+70%) | (8) Contrapposto 3.33/1, 10/1, creditable second of 14 in handicap at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 8 days ago, conceding first run. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Mark looks fair and he's worthy of respect. Surprise winner at Cheltenham last November, largely campaigned on the flat in the interim. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (12) (100/1 -52%) Milan Echo |
100/1(-52%) | (12) Milan Echo 100/1, Fourteenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, good, 50/1), very slowly away. Off 12 months. Hard to make a strong case for. 7lb out of the handicap and appears to have a mountain to climb on this occasion. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (40/1 -60%) Mizuma |
40/1(-60%) | (11) Mizuma 40/1, 66/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 11 in novice chase at Ballinrobe (23f, good) on debut over fences. Off 12 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Has work to do. Overall profile could do with some spicing up, far from juming off the page. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Dick Donohoe might be able to take this race for the second year running. Successful 12 months ago with Vischio, the Co Kilkenny handler now saddles CONTRAPPOSTO. The nine-year-old provided connections with a memorable win at Cheltenham in November and he is now reunited with Michael O'Sullivan for the first time since. Second on the level at Sligo recently, he looks well treated off his current mark of 102. Runner-up in the Galway Hurdle of 2020, Hearts Are Trumps is given second preference. Once rated 139, the likeable 10-year-old got back to winning ways at Ballinrobe recently and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow up. An ultra-consistent performer, Royal Eagle is sure to give a good account of herself off top-weight, while others for the shortlist are Red Ball Of Fire, dual C&D winner Craic Eile and the Henry de Bromhead-trained Dixie Flyer.
ROYAL EAGLE ran a cracker in a competitive handicap at the Galway Festival last time and, in this lesser race, she's fancied to resume winning ways from a 2 lb higher mark. Recent Ballinrobe winner Hearts Are Trumps is the main danger and Dixie Flyer can feature.

1st (3) (1.5/1 +14%) Foxfire Glow |
1.5/1(+14%) | (3) Foxfire Glow 1.5/1, Fair hurdler. Didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good, 11/10) 35 days ago, readily. French recruit; Downpatrick maiden win was perfectly reassuring; no issue with this mark. |

2nd (6) (5/1 +38%) Bynx |
5/1(+38%) | (6) Bynx 5/1, Fair hurdler. Course winner. Winner in hurdle here in June. 40/1, bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Back up in trip. C&D winner in Tramore; poor at Cork; not especially reliable but latest more encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (3/1 +25%) Hidalgo Des Mottes |
3/1(+25%) | (8) Hidalgo Des Mottes 3/1, Fair hurdler. Remains a maiden after 9 hurdle runs. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Roscommon (23.6f, good to soft, 6/1) 9 days ago. Shortlist material. Really consistent, unlike most of these, but also anomalous in he's 0-12; has to go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (8.5/1 +15%) No Fussing |
8.5/1(+15%) | (7) No Fussing 8.5/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Thurles in March. Very good fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Cork (18.7f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Stable in terrific form; much better at Cork last week at 66s and stayed on well; chance. |

5th (2) (33/1 -175%) Eve Moneypenny |
33/1(-175%) | (2) Eve Moneypenny 33/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Winner in hurdle at Punchestown in June. 14/1, sixth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (16.9f, good) 39 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Up in trip. Won at Punchestown; 14s, ran better than bare result at Sligo but market weakness noted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (16/1 -146%) Mousey Brown |
16/1(-146%) | (1) Mousey Brown 16/1, Fair hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Wexford in June. Fourth of 7 in novice chase (15/2) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) on debut over fences 27 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Likely to improve. Followed 2m4f Wexford bumper win with maiden success over bit farther under this rider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 +0%) Thunder |
14/1(+0%) | (4) Thunder 14/1, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. Course winner. Seventh of 8 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good, 8/1) 23 days ago. Back up in trip. Booking of O'Keeffe a plus. Uphill task. Form of easy C&D win reads well given form of runner-up since; 8s, flopped at Ballinrobe. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (5) (9/1 +10%) Katou |
9/1(+10%) | (5) Katou 9/1, Won a course maiden on hurdle debut in June. Has disappointed twice since so needs a return to this place to help spark a revival. Beat subsequent winner here, wheels came off since; hood adds to the quandary up in trip. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
None of the eight can be safely ruled out. Katou and Thunder both disappointed in the same race at Ballinrobe and have a bit to prove, with the Willie Mullins-trained former fitted with a hood for the first time now. Foxfire Glow made the breakthrough when stepping up in trip at Downpatrick and he'll be well fancied to follow up. For a selection, it might be worth taking a chance on NO FUSSING. Successful at Thurles in March, she came home strongly to finish fourth of 18 at Cork recently and, back up in trip now, she should give a good account of herself, with David Doyle claiming a valuable 7lb. Mousey Brown will also be ridden by a 7lb claimer, with Michael Molloy getting the leg up. Twice successful at Wexford, the six-year-old is a leading contender. Eve Moneypenny should appreciate going back out in trip, while Hidalgo Des Mottes certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Bynx, who won here in June, completes the line-up and she will need to improve on recent efforts if she is to feature.
HIDALGO DES MOTTES remains a maiden but he arrives on the back of some good runs in handicaps and might be able to break his duck in receipt of weight from all his opponents. Gordon Elliott's Downpatrick scorer Foxfire Glow is second choice ahead of Mousey Brown.

2nd (3) (3.5/1 +13%) Hard Target |
3.5/1(+13%) | (3) Hard Target 3.5/1, Good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 15/2) 28 days ago, clear of rest. Arrives in excellent form and could gain a deserved success. Stable having good spell and so is 6yo; form rock-solid and deserves another win (1-17). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (25/1 +11%) Toor Moon |
25/1(+11%) | (5) Toor Moon 25/1, 12/1, thirteenth of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Back up in trip. Hard to make a case for. Hard to make a strong case on last two runs, having been promising initially in maidens. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (4/1 -14%) Ranger Billy |
4/1(-14%) | (4) Ranger Billy 4/1, Winner in hurdle at Kilbeggan in June. Creditable second of 17 in handicap hurdle at Limerick (22f, soft, 13/2) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Merits consideration. Recent second, well-fancied winner allayed concerns handicapper had him; strong traveller. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (33/1 -50%) Blue In The West |
33/1(-50%) | (1) Blue In The West 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 40/1, twelfth of 18 in novice hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Point winner who might get back on track now upped in trip for handicap bow. Punchestown seventh, hurdling debut suggested he had a future; yard 2-53 last five seasons. |

6th (16) (8.5/1 +29%) Rossies Tara |
8.5/1(+29%) | (16) Rossies Tara 8.5/1, 22/1, creditable eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 28 days ago. Should strip fitter for that return and can't be discounted. Stable in form; held in eight both runs this season but chance on last year's best form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (13) (16/1 -33%) Rebel Ruler |
16/1(-33%) | (13) Rebel Ruler 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving David Kenneth Budds when fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Roscommon (23.9f, good to soft) 38 days ago.

8th (15) (20/1 +50%) Mooney Boy |
20/1(+50%) | (15) Mooney Boy 20/1, 33/1, seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (19.9f, good) 39 days ago. Unlikely to be involved. Stable form encouraging; Sligo run bit better last month; might be gradually progressive. |

9th (11) (10/1 +70%) Stellar Symphony |
10/1(+70%) | (11) Stellar Symphony 10/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good) 79 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Edmond Kent.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (2) (11/1 +31%) North Of Nashville |
11/1(+31%) | (2) North Of Nashville 11/1, 16/1, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (25.4f, good) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs headgear to perk her up. Handicap debutante when did not get extended 3m at Sligo; there was merit in that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (10) (7.5/1 +25%) Hockworthy Flyer |
7.5/1(+25%) | (10) Hockworthy Flyer 7.5/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. Below form seventh of 18 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Galway (16.8f, soft) 12 days ago. Could bounce back with tongue strap refitted. Limited mare but Downpatrick placed runs earlier this season bring her into it; can lead. |

12th (7) (66/1 -164%) Victory Star |
66/1(-164%) | (7) Victory Star 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Tenth of 12 in novice hurdle at Bellewstown (16.8f, good, 150/1) 40 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Something to prove but still warrants a market check. Won on AW in Britain; series of shockers since going hurdling, not a natural. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (22/1 -38%) U Asking Me |
22/1(-38%) | (6) U Asking Me 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 16 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (18f, soft, 80/1) 27 days ago. Point winner who could up his game now switched to handicaps. Winning pointer quiet in maidens but yard always respected here; it also runs Ranger Billy. |

50/1(-79%) | (9) Sweet Bonnie 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Pulled up in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.4f, good, 125/1) 57 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Worth a market check starting out in handicaps. Local runner hard to make a case for now handicapping; cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (8) (66/1 -32%) Danegeld |
66/1(-32%) | (8) Danegeld 66/1, Tenth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft, 80/1) 98 days ago. Others preferred. Wins spaced between 2015 and 2022; out of sorts since the latter. |

18/1(+10%) | (14) Corrigaleen 18/1, Remains a maiden after 18 NH runs. 10/1, sixth of 14 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 27 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others preferred. Neither her runs were bad in July but safely held on Downpatrick running behind Mr Social. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MR SOCIAL is the suggestion in this competitive affair. The Getaway five-year-old ran his best race to date at Downpatrick last month and while he led over the last, he ultimately had to settle for fourth. Dropping slightly in trip now and with Mark McDonagh claiming a valuable 5lb, he should go close. Ranger Billy and Hard Target are two leading contenders, with the latter placed on his last three outings. Beaten by just half a length on his most recent start at Killarney, the Harry Kelly-trained bay certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Danny Mullins is an interesting jockey booking on the locally-trained Sweet Bonnie. While she hasn't shown much to date, she makes her debut in handicap company and is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Fellow handicap debutant Blue In The West has a point-to-point win to his name and is a brother to Supremely West, who won a bumper here in December before going on to win two more in the UK.
HARD TARGET has been running well for a while and was clear of the remainder when second at Killarney last month, so he gets the marginal vote over Ranger Billy, who also arrives in good order. Mr Social should benefit from the slight drop in trip, so he's another one to consider.
A lovely race for an each-way bet with solid propositions like Hard Target and Ranger Billy taking on an improver in MR SOCIAL

1st (1) (0.53/1 +67%) Filey Bay |
0.53/1(+67%) | (1) Filey Bay 0.53/1, Promising sort. Smart winner at 17f over hurdles. 12/1, fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, good to soft) 14 days ago, running on late. Tongue strap on 1st time on the Flat and he must be a massive player. Good hurdler (RPRs 146+ last thrice); remarkably strong in market on Flat debut, ran well. |

2nd (5) (14/1 -40%) Man O Work |
14/1(-40%) | (5) Man O Work 14/1, Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Seventh of 14 in handicap hurdle (6/1) at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 95 days ago. Open to improvement. Became frustrating hurdling; safely held by Uxmal at Navan sole Flat start; rider 2-8. |

5.5/1(-22%) | (9) Uxmal 5.5/1, Promising individual. Second of 12 in maiden (9/2) at Navan (14f, heavy), clear of rest. Off 10 months. Should progress for excellent yard. RPRs 78 in Curragh and Navan runs; beautiful pedigree and gelded for belated return. |

5th (8) (20/1 -67%) Stuzzikini |
20/1(-67%) | (8) Stuzzikini 20/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Fifth of 14 in maiden (9/2) at Killarney (14.1f, good to soft) on Flat debut 30 days ago, staying on well. Closely matched with Rasiym on Killarney form but this looks a better race; place chance. |

6th (3) (50/1 -150%) Killeemore Lad |

7th (7) (33/1 -175%) Rasiym |
33/1(-175%) | (7) Rasiym 33/1, Fair gelding. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, fourth of 14 in maiden at Killarney (14.1f, good to soft, 25/1) 30 days ago. Fourth at Killarney, this rider; bit better than bare form then (just ahead of Suzzikini). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (11) (50/1 -52%) Cash The Cheque |
50/1(-52%) | (11) Cash The Cheque 50/1, Fair hurdler making Flat debut. 11/1, sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (17f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Maiden hurdler (RPRs 98-108) this year; reportedly hung left throughout on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (12/1 -33%) Fiveonefive |
12/1(-33%) | (2) Fiveonefive 12/1, Useful jumps winner, making Flat debut. Sixth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16f, good, 14/1) 13 days ago, left with too much to do. Won twice hurdling this term and another cracking effort at Galway off 125; rider's debut. |

6.5/1(-44%) | (12) Ivana 6.5/1, Fairly useful winner at 16f in bumpers. Fifth of 10 in maiden at Galway (12f, good to soft, 9/2) on Flat debut 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Likely to improve for top yard. Lacked the speed for Galway so trip appeals but others look classier; top yard and amateur. |

13th (4) (250/1 -150%) Magnetic Pulse |
250/1(-150%) | (4) Magnetic Pulse 250/1, Once-raced gelding on Flat. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, last of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (12f) on flat debut. Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip. Blinkered for 1st time. Modest; no realistic hope in this; rider 0-12. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
A racing power couple, Maxine O'Sullivan and Emmet Mullins team up here with FILEY BAY. While he disappointed when sent off favourite on his Flat debut at Roscommon, the selection since ran a huge race to finish fifth in the Galway Hurdle. The Fame And Glory seven-year-old probably wasn't suited by the trip at Roscommon and over two miles now, he should be able to redeem himself. In what is a quality affair, a strong case can be made for a few others. Out of Group 3 victor Only Mine, the twice raced Uxmal is an interesting contender for Joseph O'Brien, while Limerick bumper winner Ivana is another likely to prove popular with punters. A drifter in the market when fifth at Galway, she will appreciate going back out in trip. Fourth and fifth behind Liberated Light at Killarney last month, Rasiym and Stuzzikini are both capable of making an impact, while Man O Work and Fiveonefive are others of note.
FILEY BAY was an eye-catcher in the Galway Hurdle a fortnight ago and he ought to be a major player at this level returned to the Flat. Uxmal should have plenty more to offer, with Ivana completing the shortlist.

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.
