1st (6) (6.5/1 -18%) As Tears Go By |
6.5/1(-18%) | (6) As Tears Go By 6.5/1, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle (16/1) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 20 days ago, keeping on gamely. Yard in good form. May have more to offer yet. Recent Clonmel winner a progressive 5yo could play a major role here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (5/1 +9%) I A Connect |
5/1(+9%) | (2) I A Connect 5/1, Useful hurdler. Running creditably when unseated rider in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 11/1). Off 13 months. Market check advised on return. Returns from 13 months' absence but has run well fresh and ground to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 +33%) Cask Mate |
4/1(+33%) | (1) Cask Mate 4/1, Useful hurdler. Unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft, 25/1) 17 days ago. Others more persuasive. Veteran shaped promisingly at Killarney before unseating; ground plenty quick enough. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (2.25/1 +10%) Ifiwerearichman |
2.25/1(+10%) | (5) Ifiwerearichman 2.25/1, Fairly useful hurdler who posted creditable sixth of 25 on handicap debut at Punchestown (16.2f, good to soft) 34 days ago, running on. Likely contender. Not one to rule out but may want easier ground to be seen to best effect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (2.75/1 +21%) One Last Tango |
2.75/1(+21%) | (3) One Last Tango 2.75/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Course winner (16.5f) in October and improved on that when placed next 2 starts. Latest run can be excused (met trouble at crucial time) and must enter calculations. Winner here last season and remains of interest depite below-par recent run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (11/1 -38%) All Those Years |
11/1(-38%) | (4) All Those Years 11/1, Fairly useful chaser. Latest win in chase at Limerick in March. 9/1, ninth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Others preferred. Recent return to hurdling not that encouraging; plenty more needed and may want it softer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (7) (100/1 -100%) Dark Voyager |
100/1(-100%) | (7) Dark Voyager 100/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, first run since leaving W. P. Mullins when fourth of 5 in minor event hurdle at Punchestown (18f, good, 125/1). Off 7 months. Work to do. Ex Willie Mullins-trained 6yo out of form and of limited appeal despite reduced mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
CASK MATE was unlucky to unseat his rider just after the penultimate flight at Killarney earlier this month and may now give weight away all round. The Noel Meade-trained gelding would probably have struggled against impressive winner Mighty Tom but was certainly running a big race in that valuable handicap and has less on his plate here. One Last Tango gained the latest of his three career wins at this venue last autumn and was competing in deeper waters last time at the Punchestown Festival. I A Connect has been absent for over a year but may still prove the pick of Gordon Elliott's pair, while Ifiwerearichman has a chance if sharpening up his jumping.
Preference is for IFIWEREARICHMAN, who acquitted himself in a competitive Punchestown handicap last time and remains low mileage. As Tears Go By and One Last Tango rate the principal dangers.
It may pay to side with recent Clonmel winner AS TEARS GO BY (nap) who probably has more improvement in him than most of these

1st (2) (4.5/1 -50%) Search For A Myth |
4.5/1(-50%) | (2) Search For A Myth 4.5/1, 5/4, third of 6 in handicap chase at Killarney (17f, good to soft) on debut over fences. Off 8 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Enters calculations. Went very close at this venue last September, lacks a recent run but has good prospects. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (4/1 +33%) Warm In Gorey |
4/1(+33%) | (5) Warm In Gorey 4/1, Bit below form eleventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft, 7/2) 30 days ago. Player on Downpatrick run prior to that. Tongue tie off. Beaten favourite at Down Royal last time, solid chance on his previous Downpatrick second. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (10/1 -186%) Chapel Street |
10/1(-186%) | (1) Chapel Street 10/1, One win from 2 runs last season. 4/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at this course (20.4f, good to soft), driven out. Off 11 months but definite player if ready to go. Absent since a course win over a longer trip almost a year ago, seems trip-versatile. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (11) (22/1 -38%) Grizabella |
22/1(-38%) | (11) Grizabella 22/1, Fair winner at 10f on Flat. Below form eighth of 13 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Tramore (16f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Should have a bigger performance in her. Won a Flat claimer for Jack Davison, well beaten on her handicap hurdle debut at Tramore. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (20/1 -25%) Moyvilla Lass |
20/1(-25%) | (3) Moyvilla Lass 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 14 in novice hurdle (125/1) at this course (16f, good to soft) 87 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Second of her three maiden runs was respectable but hard to make a strong case for her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (33/1 -32%) Powerful Blue |
33/1(-32%) | (14) Powerful Blue 33/1, 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (19f, heavy). Off 7 months. Absent since a poor run at Cork last October, previous Clonmel fifth was a career-best. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (4.5/1 -13%) Anstand |
4.5/1(-13%) | (6) Anstand 4.5/1, Blinkered for 1st time, good fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft, 9/2) 20 days ago, also running on unfavoured part of the track. One to take seriously. One of the more likely contenders on the basis of form such as a recent Clonmel fourth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (13) (16/1 +43%) Katzoff |
16/1(+43%) | (13) Katzoff 16/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Thurles (16.4f, heavy, 28/1) 79 days ago, losing touch 3 out. Beaten favourite on final 2022 start, poor form in two Thurles races during the winter. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (11/1 +50%) The Cooleen |
11/1(+50%) | (9) The Cooleen 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 66/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) 13 days ago, reported suffering a breathing problem. Reported to have made a noise when in rear on handicap debut, 66-1 on that occasion. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (4) (8/1 +76%) Portarlington |
8/1(+76%) | (4) Portarlington 8/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 28/1) 44 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Ordinary form over hurdles and on the Flat, does not appeal as being well handicapped. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (7) (16/1 +43%) Image Du Large |
16/1(+43%) | (7) Image Du Large 16/1, Seventh of 19 in novice hurdle at Tipperary (15.8f, good to soft, 250/1) 27 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut. One good run over fences in France, her Irish hurdles form does not amount to much. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (20/1 +50%) Cathys Quest |
20/1(+50%) | (10) Cathys Quest 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 15 in novice hurdle (300/1) at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. No real sign of ability in maidens but in good hands and boasts a decent pedigree. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (66/1 -65%) Saddle In The Rain |
66/1(-65%) | (8) Saddle In The Rain 66/1, 150/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, eighteenth of 19 in handicap at Navan (13f, soft) 18 days ago. Tailed off in a Flat handicap last time, not much in his hurdles form to encourage support. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (12) (7/1 +61%) Wee Jerry |
7/1(+61%) | (12) Wee Jerry 7/1, Sixth of 7 in minor event hurdle at Down Royal (24f, good to soft, 50/1) 30 days ago. Back down in trip. Booking of Harvey a plus. Blinkers on 1st time. Struggled over 3m at Down Royal a month ago, modest form, stable had a winner last week. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
SEARCH FOR A MYTH was a frustrating sort to follow last year and hopefully can get a winning turn reappearing after a near eight-month break. The selection filled the runner-up spot three times and was a shade unlucky when beaten a neck by Kellie's Dream here last autumn. Chapel Street showed promise over a variety of trips last year before scoring in good style over 2m4f at this venue last June. He's obviously not the easiest to train and is without a run since but a 7lb rise means he's still qualified to run in this lowly grade. Anstand only weakened on the run-in at Clonmel last time and now races on good ground for the first time, while Warm In Gorey and Image Du Large are others to consider.
SEARCH FOR A MYTH was a bit disappointing switched to fences when last seen in October but she'd been knocking on the door over timber prior to that so she could be the answer on return. Chapel Street also reappears following an absence and is a threat, along with Anstand and Grizabella.
Providing she is near peak form on her first run after a winter break SEARCH FOR A MYTH should be able to exploit this opportunity.

1st (3) (8.5/1 -55%) Away To Milan |
8.5/1(-55%) | (3) Away To Milan 8.5/1, 7/1, good fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) 13 days ago. Unexposed 5-y-o who is high on the shortlist. Backed up a long-priced fifth at Cork with respectable fourth at Tipperary, could go close. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (12) (4.5/1 -13%) Be My Hero |
4.5/1(-13%) | (12) Be My Hero 4.5/1, Good sixth of 18 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Yard in good form. Should go well again. Yet to reach the first three in 12 starts over hurdles, not beaten far in sixth on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (3.2/1 +64%) Staging Post |
3.2/1(+64%) | (5) Staging Post 3.2/1, Course winner. Fourth of 18 in handicap hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft, 33/1) 62 days ago. Not taken lightly. Bumper winner and course maiden hurdle winner, chance here based on creditable Naas fourth. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (5/1 +23%) Lakomet Of Saints |
5/1(+23%) | (6) Lakomet Of Saints 5/1, Unseated rider in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, soft, 11/2) 43 days ago. Yet to make his mark in handicaps, well supported last time when unseating at Tipperary. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (15) (18/1 +10%) Breagagh |
18/1(+10%) | (15) Breagagh 18/1, Twelfth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft, 50/1) 8 days ago. RESERVE. First reserve, fair form on Flat and over hurdles last year, two poor displays in 2023. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (20/1 -25%) Anyway |
20/1(-25%) | (2) Anyway 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 16 in novice hurdle (150/1) at Thurles (16f, soft) 74 days ago. Booking of O'Keeffe a plus. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Had plenty of horses behind him on debut over 2m4f at Punchestown, two lesser runs since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (7/1 -100%) Littel Flour |
7/1(-100%) | (1) Littel Flour 7/1, 20/1, third of 13 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good) 13 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Clear chance following Tipperary third though not sure to uphold form with Away To Milan. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (25/1 +0%) Monoxide |
25/1(+0%) | (14) Monoxide 25/1, Remains a maiden after 21 NH runs. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Downpatrick (19.2f, good to soft, 25/1) 26 days ago, doing too much too soon. Switches from chase to hurdles. Best effort last season was over fences, two most recent chase runs none too encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (6/1 +33%) Flashthelights |
6/1(+33%) | (9) Flashthelights 6/1, 11/1, creditable seventh of 18 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Showed fair form towards the end of the season before last, recent form is unconvincing. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (7) (28/1 +15%) Lonracha |
28/1(+15%) | (7) Lonracha 28/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Gowran (20f, heavy, 25/1), pulled up before 3 out. Off 6 months. No appeal on the form of four attempts in handicap company last year, off for six months. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (11) (28/1 +30%) Thirsty Thursday |
28/1(+30%) | (11) Thirsty Thursday 28/1, 28/1, ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Fair run on heavy ground at Clonmel in his first handicap, has failed to build on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (17) (25/1 +38%) Papa Barns |
25/1(+38%) | (17) Papa Barns 25/1, Fourteenth of 18 in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Naas (16.3f, soft) 62 days ago. RESERVE. Third reserve, no impact in five maiden hurdles, same story on handicap debut at Naas. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (28/1 +15%) O Faolains Lass |
28/1(+15%) | (10) O Faolains Lass 28/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, soft, 28/1) 45 days ago, behind when pulled up before last. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Pulled-up on last two outings, better going and cheekpieces will need to make a difference. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (8) (40/1 -100%) Shining Aitch |
40/1(-100%) | (8) Shining Aitch 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 10f on flat. Fell in handicap hurdle (50/1) at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Three-time Flat winner in Britain, running well when falling two out at Down Royal. |

There shouldn't be much between LITTEL FLOUR and Away To Milan judged on running behind Hi Ski at Tipperary just under a fortnight ago. The latter lost any chance with a mistake at the last and previously put in a solid effort at Cork but doesn't have the benefit of Paddy O'Hanlon's 5lb claim here. The selection showed promise in maidens last autumn including when third to Deeply Superficial at Galway and seemed to settle better last time in a hood. Staging Post outran odds of 33/1 when making the frame behind Herculaneum at Naas and remains on the same mark, while Flashthelights and Be My Hero are others for the shortlist.
LITTEL FLOUR took a big step back in the right direction when third at Tipperary a couple of weeks ago and is given a chance to build on that for the Declan Queally team. The lightly-raced Away To Milan has made a decent start to his handicap career and is second choice ahead of Gordon Elliott's Be My Hero.
Course maiden hurdle winner STAGING POST looks capable of handicap success at this level judged on a Naas fourth two months ago

1st (5) (4/1 +50%) Hartur D'arc |
4/1(+50%) | (5) Hartur D'arc 4/1, Fairly useful winner at 19f in bumpers. Eighth of 9 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (20.3f, heavy, 10/1) 121 days ago. Has failed to reproduce the form of Navan third last October in three subsequent outings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (10/1 -150%) High City Roller |
10/1(-150%) | (6) High City Roller 10/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form third of 16 in novice hurdle (4/11) at Navan (15.8f, good) when last seen. Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins. Well worth a look for new yard. Bumper winner and placed all three starts over hurdles for Willie Mullins, stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (125/1 -150%) Bob The Builder |
125/1(-150%) | (2) Bob The Builder 125/1, Well held in bumper/maiden hurdles (for Sean Thomas Doyle). Fourth sole start in points (Oct 2022). Cheekpieces on. Modest form in maiden hurdles for his previous trainer, cheekpieces on for stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (2.25/1 +81%) Attaboyarchie |
2.25/1(+81%) | (1) Attaboyarchie 2.25/1, Unseated rider in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft, 12/1) 26 days ago. Work to do. Interesting on his second to the smart Good Land in a bumper at this venue last October. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (4.5/1 -80%) Viceregent |
4.5/1(-80%) | (7) Viceregent 4.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Creditable sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Killarney (20f, good) 16 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. 0-12 over hurdles, placed five times, frustrating and unreliable but unwise to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (14/1 -40%) Gino Drummer Boy |
14/1(-40%) | (4) Gino Drummer Boy 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 50/1, excellent fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (19.1f, soft) on return 20 days ago, not knocked about. Yard in good form. Should improve. Shaped quite well after a lengthy absence when fifth at Clonmel recently, needs more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (3/1 -20%) Conyers Hill |
3/1(-20%) | (3) Conyers Hill 3/1, Promising individual. Very good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good to soft, 5/2) 29 days ago. Up in trip which will suit and he merits consideration. Placed on all three starts since joining this stable, should be in the mix again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (9) (10/1 +29%) Phils Choice |
10/1(+29%) | (9) Phils Choice 10/1, Fair hurdler. 10/3, third of 12 in novice hurdle at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) 20 days ago. Up in trip. Useful bumper form, third over hurdles at Clonmel last time, this is more competitive. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
Conyers Hill and High City Roller have both been placed on their last three starts and are sure to prove popular with punters. The former will have race fitness on his side and should appreciate the step-up in trip. High City Roller makes his debut for Liz Doyle, having been previously trained by Willie Mullins. Sent off the clear market leader at 4/11, he was beaten into third on his most recent outing at Navan in September. Phils Choice, Viceregent and Hartur D'arc are other leading contenders, but for a selection it might be worth taking a chance on ATTABOYARCHIE. He was an excellent second to Good Land on his only previous visit to Bettyville, finishing ahead of subsequent winners Landrake and Diamboy Des Carres. His form of late has been disappointing, but in a contest of this quality he should be able to make an impact.
CONYERS HILL will be suited by this longer trip and can strike after another good run at Ballinrobe. Viceregent and Gino Drummer Boy are a couple of the dangers.
The best recent form belongs to CONYERS HILL who may get a winning turn after being placed on all three starts for this stable

1/1(+33%) | (3) Joyeux Machin 1/1, Useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in December. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 18 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Punchestown (19.1f, good to soft) 32 days ago. Can make his presence felt in these calmer waters. Up in trip. Highly tried since maiden win; first attempt at 3m here and sights lowered so respected. |

2nd (4) (1.38/1 -25%) Jungle Prose |

Leading claims. Rapid improver in handicaps last season; back from a break and could make a bold bid. |

3rd (1) (5/1 +17%) Dovlator |
5/1(+17%) | (1) Dovlator 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 25/1, fifteenth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.4f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Steps up in trip and back on favoured ground so respected. |

4th (2) (40/1 -122%) Dragon Rock |
40/1(-122%) | (2) Dragon Rock 40/1, Twice-raced winner over hurdles. Running creditably when fell in novice hurdle (4/1) at Killarney (22.8f, good to soft). Off 9 months. First run for yard after leaving Willie Mullins. Unexposed but needs improvement. Left Willie Mullins after Killarney fall last summer; still an unknown quantity. |

|U| (5) (33/1 +67%) Ripplesinthesand |
33/1(+67%) | (5) Ripplesinthesand 33/1, Pulled up both starts in points (latest May 21). Outsider on Rules debut. Pulled up in both point-to-points, hard to see him making an immediate impact under Rules. |

Gordon Elliott looks to have found a nice opportunity for JUNGLE PROSE. The eight-year-old was a revelation over the winter months, winning four in-a-row before finishing fourth when tried in Grade 2 company at Limerick. She since disappointed at the Dublin Racing Festival but in calmer waters now, a much-improved performance can be expected with Danny Gilligan taking a valuable 7lb off. Joyeux Machin looks the main danger but has been very disappointing since making the breakthrough over flights at Fairyhouse in December. Dragon Rock has switched from Willie Mullins to 'Shark' Hanlon since his last start and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. Dovlator needs to bounce back from recent efforts if he is to feature here, while Ripplesinthesand appears out of his depth.
JUNGLE PROSE developed into a useful hurdler for Gordon Elliott last winter and this looks a good chance for him to land a fifth win since joining the yard. Joyeux Machin is the obvious danger if his stamina holds now stepping up to 3m.
It could pay to side with the proven stamina of JUNGLE PROSE, who has the added advantage of Danny Gilligan's valuable claim

8.5/1(+6%) | (2) Cocoplum 8.5/1, Second of 7 in minor event hurdle (14/1) at Down Royal (24f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Fairly treated, back handicapping, and not discounted. Ran well above her mark at Down Royal recently and upped 6lb as a result. |

5th (11) (33/1 +34%) Complete Fantasy |
33/1(+34%) | (11) Complete Fantasy 33/1, 33/1, fifteenth of 19 in handicap at Navan (13f, soft) 18 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Significantly up in trip. 6/16 on last hurdle outing. Makes limited appeal. Placed form came as a juvenile; hard to fancy on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (5/1 +9%) Navigator Jack |
5/1(+9%) | (1) Navigator Jack 5/1, Creditable third of 16 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Tipperary (24f, good) 13 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and must enter calculations. Last Thursday's staying-on third over this trip at Tipperary encouraging. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (5/1 +33%) Twoplustwo Equals |
5/1(+33%) | (12) Twoplustwo Equals 5/1, Respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Punchestown (15.8f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Work to do. Entitled to come on for recent comeback run at Punchestown so not one to rule out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (5) (6.5/1 +59%) Aide De Camp |
6.5/1(+59%) | (5) Aide De Camp 6.5/1, 25/1, respectable eighth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24.3f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Invariably stays on late; may yet do better, especially if ridden in closer touch. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (16) (33/1 +18%) Man After Midnight |
33/1(+18%) | (16) Man After Midnight 33/1, 66/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Gowran (20.4f, heavy) 125 days ago, tailed off when pulled up before 2 out. Hard to fancy. RESERVE. Modest level of form and hard to fancy back in handicap company; reserve. |

10th (13) (50/1 +38%) Ballinclay Court |
50/1(+38%) | (13) Ballinclay Court 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.8f, good to soft, 66/1) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Uphill task. Finished last on handicap debut at Downpatrick; cheekpieces now tried. |

11th (8) (80/1 +0%) Crimson Chief |
80/1(+0%) | (8) Crimson Chief 80/1, Twelfth of 16 in handicap hurdle (66/1) at Tipperary (24f, good) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Out of form of late but trip/ground to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (4/1 +11%) Townhill Penny |
4/1(+11%) | (7) Townhill Penny 4/1, Found a little more improvement when second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tipperary (24f, good) 13 days ago. 3 lb higher now but likely to give another good account. Good 3m form of late; major player although yard also have likely hot favourite here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (16/1 +43%) Southerner |
16/1(+43%) | (6) Southerner 16/1, Below form eighth of 20 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Gowran (16f, heavy) 125 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Dropped to a handy mark. Trip inadequate last time, back to more suitable trip but veteran opposable. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (22/1 +21%) Champagne Monarch |
22/1(+21%) | (10) Champagne Monarch 22/1, 14/1, ninth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (23.3f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Others preferred. Well beaten when last seen at Kilbeggan in April; mark declining but still opposable. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
It's difficult to look beyond ARCTIC AMBITION, however he is also declared for Ballinrobe on Tuesday and might not turn up here. Rated much higher over fences, the eight-year-old registered his first hurdles success on Friday and will carry a 7lb winners penalty here. Gordon Elliott trains the selection and is also represented by Townhill Penny. A daughter of the late Kalanisi, she went down by just three-parts-of-a-length at Tipperary recently and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better now, with Ben Harvey taking a valuable 5lb off. Navigator Jack was third in that Tipperary contest and he too looks to have solid claims here with Keith Donoghue aboard. A runner-up at Down Royal on her most recent start, Cocoplum is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others for the shortlist are Midnight Our Fred, course winner Gotthenod and the 13-year-old Dorans River.
Preference is for ARCTIC AMBITION, who capitalised on a lower hurdles mark under this pilot at Limerick last week and still looks feasibly treated, despite a 7 lb penalty. Townhill Penny and Navigator Jack head the list of dangers.
Yesterday's Ballinrobe winner ARCTIC AMBITION looks the one to beat, in his possible absence stablemate Townhill Penny gets the nod

10/1(-11%) | (11) Mousey Brown 10/1, Fourth of 15 in novice hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 25/1) on hurdles bow 16 days ago. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Steadily progressive mare not one to rule out sneaking a placing. |

2nd (2) (2/1 +80%) Down Around |
2/1(+80%) | (2) Down Around 2/1, Excellent seventh of 18 in bumper at Punchestown (18f, good to soft, 125/1) 33 days ago, suited by increase in trip. One to note upped even further in distance. Punchestown comeback run last month his best yet and this longer trip should suit. |

3rd (7) (2.75/1 +66%) Minella Mate |
2.75/1(+66%) | (7) Minella Mate 2.75/1, Twice-raced maiden. Second of 8 in bumper (11/2) at Killarney (17f, good) 16 days ago. Still green when second at Killarney so could well have more to offer at this longer trip. |

100/1(+33%) | (14) The Derry Girl 100/1, Maiden pointer, unseated rider last 2 starts (latest Apr 21). Modest point-to-point form, easily overlooked on Rules debut. |

6th (5) (40/1 +39%) Lummi Island |
40/1(+39%) | (5) Lummi Island 40/1, Alkaadhem gelding. Dam (c102/h110) 2m-21f hurdle/chase winner (stayed 3m). Newcomer best watched. |

8th (10) (66/1 +34%) Grannys Yaris |
66/1(+34%) | (10) Grannys Yaris 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, thirteenth of 16 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) on NH debut. Off 12 months. Up in trip. Too keen and soundly beaten on Limerick debut a year ago; can only be watched on return. |

16/1(-33%) | (12) Pipers Boreen 16/1, Second of 14 in bumper (25/1) at Clonmel (16.2f, soft) on bumper debut 20 days ago. Back up in trip. Clonmel 2nd should appreciate this longer trip; place prospect if handling quicker ground. |

28/1(+44%) | (1) Cois Na Tine 28/1, €4,000 3-y-o, Frozen Fire gelding. Dam unraced. Newcomer likely best watched but worth a market check. |

|PU| (6) (125/1 +17%) Millers Road |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
FULL METAL JACKET gets the nod over Toad Hall. Out of Grade 1 winning hurdler Adriana Des Mottes, the five-year-old finished fourth on debut in a point-to-point at Turtulla, when in the care of Matthew Flynn O'Connor. He since switched to Emmet Mullins and was a fine third of 16 in a bumper at the Punchestown Festival. Toad Hall is given second preference after filling the runner-up spot on debut at Clonmel early last month. He shared that position with subsequent Punchestown winner Walk Away Harry, while Extrapolation, who was fourth, also gave the form a boost by winning at Downpatrick. Down Around has some solid form to his name and should be capable of making his presence felt, while Minella Mate, Pipers Boreen and Mousey Brown are others for the shortlist.
TOAD HALL made a bright start at Clonmel and surely has one of these in him. He gets the vote over Down Around and Full Metal Jacket.
Hard to look beyond TOAD HALL, whose debut Clonmel second has been doubly franked since

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.
