The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
JET SETTING JIM showed some promise in bumpers before opening his account when beating the odds-on Royal Hollow at Clonmel last September. The selection also gained some experience in point-to-points and the booking of Paul Townend adds to confidence. Point-to-point winner Break The Boundary was runner-up to the useful Lifetime Ambition in a hunter chase at Cork on Monday, while Theflyingbee had useful placed form in bumpers including on debut at the Galway Festival last summer and should benefit from a run over hurdles at Fairyhouse last time. Half A Chance showed promise on debut in a Limerick bumper while any market move for Storms End or Shanroe Nelson would be interesting.
JET SETTING JIM progressed nicely in bumpers earlier in the season and can strike on hurdle debut with Paul Townend doing the steering. If Break The Boundary can translate the form he achieved when second in a hunter chase at Cork earlier in the week to hurdles he could have a big say. Theflyingbee is another capable of going well.
A chance is taken with BREAK THE BOUNDARY, who divided two highly rated chasers in a Cork hunter chase on Monday and looks promising

(9)  (5/6 +9%)Barrier |
5/6(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Barrier 5/6, Fair maiden on the Flat. Placed in juvenile hurdles at Naas and Gowran earlier in the year. Ran creditably on the Flat last month. The one to beat back hurdling. Solid efforts in two maiden hurdles; sets a good standard and should prove hard to beat. |
|||
(3)  (9/2 +0%)Milanaway |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Milanaway 9/2, Fair hurdler. Respectable fourth of 14 in novice hurdle (20/1) at Fairyhouse (20f, heavy) 72 days ago. Paul Townend takes the ride. One to consider. Well beaten at Fairyhouse in January when last seen; respected on her best form. |
|||
(4)  (9/2 +0%)Shana Cloon |
9/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Shana Cloon 9/2, Modest hurdler. Remains a maiden after 12 hurdle runs. Good second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy, 9/2) 15 days ago, running on. Third at Punchestown before narrowly seen off at Cork two weeks ago; should go well. |
|||
(8)  (11/1 -10%)Whatsupnellie |
11/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Whatsupnellie 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 16 in bumper at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 14/1) 110 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Should be up to making his presence felt if taking to new discipline. Showed ability in a pair of bumpers late last year; hurdles debut here and could figure. |
|||
(6)  (12/1 -20%)Slip Jig |
12/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Slip Jig 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 15/2, third of 7 in bumper at Cork (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Up in trip. Entitled to come on for her Cork run although not the easiest to assess on her hurdles bow. |
|||
(2)  (16/1 -60%)Justmadeit |
16/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Justmadeit 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Fourth of 7 in novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, heavy, 16/1) 58 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to jump better and is another that qualifies for a mark after this. |
|||
(5)  (33/1 -32%)Shanlaylin |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shanlaylin 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 33/1, fifth of 16 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) on hurdles bow 27 days ago. Back up in trip. Should come on for her Gowran run although does need to improve to be a factor here. |
|||
(10)  (33/1 -32%)Drum Roll |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Drum Roll 33/1, Fair maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. Unseated rider in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy, 20/1) 5 days ago. Up in trip. Open to progress. Tailed off on hurdles bow at Navan last month; unseated early at Cork on Sunday. |
|||

66/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Dont Tell Shirley 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, ninth of 16 in novice hurdle at Gowran (16f, heavy) 27 days ago. Back up in trip. Soundly beaten in two mares maiden hurdles; needs this for a handicap mark. |
|||
(11)  (66/1 +0%)Queenofthelodge |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Queenofthelodge 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in novice hurdle at Cork (19f, heavy, 150/1) 5 days ago. Soundly beaten in a pair of Cork maiden hurdles; up against it here. |
|||
(7)  (100/1 -52%)Volez Vous |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Volez Vous 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 16 in novice hurdle (125/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 27 days ago. Up in trip. Has shown little in three maiden hurdle runs and makes little appeal here. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BARRIER has been placed a couple of times over hurdles this year and appears to have found a good opportunity to open his account. The Gordon Elliott-trained filly finished well when runner-up to better-fancied stablemate Ndaawi at Naas and the winner went on to finish third in the Boodles Handicap Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. Milanaway has been generally consistent both in bumpers and maiden hurdles including when third to Mollys Glory at Thurles and now takes a drop in class following her fourth to Spindleberry over this trip at Fairyhouse. Shana Cloon has plenty of handicap experience and can't be lightly discounted while Whatsupnellie and Slip Jig have both been placed in bumpers.
BARRIER sets the standard on her placed efforts at the beginning of the year and can provide Jack Kennedy with another winner in his bid for a first jockeys' title. Championship rival Paul Townend may provide the chief threat on Denis Hogan's Milanaway. Whatsupnellie achieved enough in 2 bumpers before Christmas to think she can make an impact in a race like this now hurdling.
The selection is BARRIER after two good runs in maidens at Naas and Gowran. She is the standard bearer

3/1(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Jeriko De Baune 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Course winner. Very good third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Cork (24.3f, heavy, 15/2) 15 days ago. Stable in good form and he can get involved. Good third in a Cork handicap hurdle two weeks ago; 7lb taken off and should go well. |
|||
(1)  (3/1 -20%)Sarah Beara |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Sarah Beara 3/1, Fairly useful hurdler. C&D winner. Creditable 3¾ lengths third of 8 to Bioluminescence in Shannon Spray Mares Novices' Hurdle at Limerick (22.3f, heavy, 28/1) 26 days ago. Creditable third in a Grade 3 novice at Limerick; hard to beat despite conceding weight. |
|||

4/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Pipers Boreen 4/1, Fair hurdler. Creditable second of 12 in handicap hurdle (7/1) at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 32 days ago. Booking of Quirke a plus. Expected to be bang there. Punchestoen winner second off 8lb higher at Leopardstown; can go well here if improving. |
|||
(3)  (11/2 -22%)Lep Around |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lep Around 11/2, Lightly-raced winner under NH rules. 11/4, career best when winning 11-runner novice hurdle at Cork (19f, heavy) 5 days ago. Up in trip. Open to improvement. Won at Cork on Sunday; needs to find a bit more but seems to be going the right way. |
|||
(4)  (8/1 -33%)Themanintheboots |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Themanintheboots 8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 2 wins from 5 runs this season. Fourth of 5 in handicap chase (11/8) at Perth (23.8f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Switches from chase to hurdles and could easily get back on track. Not seen since no show in a handicap chase at Perth in September; others preferred. |
|||
(5)  (11/1 -38%)Noble Talent |
11/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Noble Talent 11/1, Fair hurdler. Winner in hurdle at Limerick in January. 16/1, below form twelfth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Cork (20f, heavy) 15 days ago. Booking of Gilligan a plus. Others more persuasive. Readily landed a handicap hurdle at Limerick in January; not the same impact twice since. |
|||
(6)  (50/1 -52%)Cloudy Tuesday |
50/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cloudy Tuesday 50/1, 200/1, tailed-off last of 6 to Largy Hill in Michael Purcell Memorial Novices' Hurdle at Thurles (20.8f, soft) on hurdles bow 43 days ago. Totally out of his depth in a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Thurles last time; hard to fancy. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
JERIKO DE BAUNE is a solid staying handicapper who has scored twice this season including at this venue. The Philip Fenton-trained gelding showed great reserves of stamina when beating Duffys Getaway over this trip at Fairyhouse and a reproduction of her close third to Sir Bob and the progressive Aodhan May at Cork last month may be good enough. Sarah Beara was a C&D winner last summer and has gained black type a number of times since including when third to Bioluminescence at Limerick last time. Pipers Boreen came out best in a tight finish over a similar distance at Punchestown, while Lep Around makes a quick reappearance after a maiden win at Cork last Sunday.
A tightly-knit novice with LEP AROUND just about the most persuasive option given there should be plenty more to come from her. Pipers Boreen will relish 3m and she shouldn't be underestimated out of handicap company, with Themanintheboots also of firm interest back hurdling.
The one to beat is likely to be C&D winner SARAH BEARA(nap) if she can run up to her good third in a Limerick Grade 3 last time

11/4(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Monbeg Park 11/4, Useful winner at 21f over hurdles. Well-beaten fifth of 6 to Spillane's Tower in Killiney Novices' Chase (10/1) at Punchestown (19.7f, soft) 82 days ago. Makes handicap chase debut and this may place less emphasis on jumping. Not so effective in three runs over fences but quite well-handicapped on his hurdles form. |
|||
(2)  (7/2 +0%)Spirit Of Legend |
7/2(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Spirit Of Legend 7/2, Useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Fell in handicap chase (11/4) at Naas (20f, soft) 68 days ago too far out to suggest outcome. Tongue strap on 1st time. In contention when falling four out in a novice handicap at Naas in January; tongue-tied. |
|||
(3)  (4/1 -20%)Midnight Our Fred |
4/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Midnight Our Fred 4/1, Winner in hurdle here in May. Good second of 6 in handicap chase (10/1) at Cheltenham (25.2f, good to soft) 111 days ago. Back down in trip and likely to give it another good go. Drops back in trip here on his first start this year; every chance of being involved. |
|||
(4)  (6/1 -20%)Dundaniel |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Dundaniel 6/1, 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, brought down in handicap chase at Limerick (17.5f, heavy) 26 days ago, sure to be involved. Has good chance on form. May have been unlucky when brought down at Limerick last month; should be thereabouts. |
|||
(5)  (6/1 -20%)Casey West |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Casey West 6/1, Career best when winning 13-runner hunter chase at Clonmel (21f, heavy, 7/4) 85 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Makes handicap chase debut and he's a likeable type. Hunter chase winner; interesting on his handicap chase debut although not easy to assess. |
|||
(7)  (10/1 +29%)Wee Charlie |
10/1(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Wee Charlie 10/1, In the process of running creditably when falling in handicap chase at Limerick (17.5f, heavy, 15/2) 26 days ago. Would have been second but for falling at the last at Limerick last time; could go well. |
|||
(6)  (25/1 +0%)The Big Galloper |
25/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Big Galloper 25/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Punchestown (23.8f, heavy, 28/1) 96 days ago. Very little to recommend in just three runs since 2022; best watched for now. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
MONBEG PARK won twice over hurdles at Punchestown including a verdict over Spillane's Tower and the point-to-point winner has come up against some smart types since sent over fences. He found Grade 3 company too hot last time, but this could be more to his liking. Spirit Of Legend has a similar profile to the selection winning a Navan maiden hurdle and quite highly tried over fences this term. Midnight Our Fred certainly won't lack for stamina having won a three-mile handicap hurdle here last year and filled second on his latest two chase starts at Cheltenham, while Casey West handled testing ground when winning a hunter chase at Clonmel last time. Dundaniel was still in contention when brought down two out at Limerick last time.
DUNDANIEL hasn't had much luck in handicaps but his mark is certainly a workable one when it does click. He gets the tentative nod in favour of Midnight Our Fred and Monbeg Park.
There has to be more to come over fences from MONBEG PARK and he could be well enough in here to land this

7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) R'evelyn Pleasure 7/2, Course winner. Latest win in chase at Cork in January. Creditable second of 6 in handicap chase at Cork (16.7f, heavy, 7/2) 4 days ago, barely adequate test. Player back up in trip. In good form; runner-up in a 2m handicap chase at Cork on Monday; should play a hand. |
|||
(5)  (4/1 -14%)Bythesametoken |

(3)  (4/1 +56%)West Cork Wildway |
4/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) West Cork Wildway 4/1, 14/1, third of 5 in minor event hurdle at Thurles (22.9f, heavy) 20 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Cheekpieces back on. No encouragement from his return to action over hurdles at Thurles last month;best watched. |

12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Big Debates 12/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Pulled up in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Gowran (20.1f, heavy) 48 days ago, losing touch before 3 out. Switches from hurdles to chase. Needs to bounce back from a poor effort over hurdles at Gowran last month. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
R'EVELYN PLEASURE has proved a grand servant to connections winning seven times including this event in 2022 and has been placed on numerous occasions. The Sean O'Brien-trained gelding returned in good heart this season winning twice including another veterans' race at Limerick and again put in a solid effort when second to Sunnyvilla at Cork on Monday. Shadow Rider won a beginners chase for Willie Mullins before losing his way over fences and has been switched to hurdles by Padraig Roche this season scoring in runaway fashion at Fairyhouse before running well off a 10lb higher mark in a valuable handicap at Cork last Sunday. It will be interesting to see how he fares back chasing, while Epson Du Houx takes a big drop in class after taking on Ferny Hollow at Naas last time.
SHADOW RIDER has looked better than ever over hurdles the last twice and is potentially on a good mark back over fences. In-form veteran R'Evelyn Pleasure is feared most back up in trip.
Perhaps there might be one more win in the fine season of bottom-weight R'EVELYN PLEASURE after his run at Cork on Monday

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Starlight Cato had Fox Le Bel six lengths back in third with TANGENTAL fourth when runner-up to St Denis's Well (won twice since) over three miles at Navan in January. The former has disappointed since at Limerick behind He Fitz In (up 7lb as a result) and the frustrating Fox Le Bel is still a maiden after 29 starts so Colm Murphy's charge now gets the vote to come out on top. The son of Fame And Glory has won twice over hurdles including a three-mile Clonmel handicap on soft ground last spring and the aforementioned Navan race was just his second start over fences. Mick Charlie won over both hurdles and fences earlier this year but needs to bounce back after a disappointing effort at Thurles.
TANGENTAL showed more than on chasing debut when fourth at Navan and is worth persevering with in this sphere (potentially on a good mark on hurdles form). Long-standing maiden Fox Le Bel can place again, while He Fitz In showed plenty of grit when scoring at Limerick recently.
Preference is for top-weight HE FITZ IN who underlined his consistency by winning at Limerick and might not be stopped by a 7lb penalty

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.
