The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
There are plenty in here with solid placed form and SUTTONS HILL may be able to get his turn. The Arcadio gelding has been knocking on the door and has been runner-up on his last couple of outings, including when narrowly denied at Listowel last time. Littlefoot is another who has hit the crossbar on several occasions, including when chasing home My Gaffer on his hurdling debut at Limerick in late May. He had Master Splinter in behind in fourth then and may be able to confirm placings. Willie Mullins runs Chrisco, who has to be respected. He has been third on all three starts to date, albeit well held on each occasion.
LITTLEFOOT made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up in a big field at Limerick and this useful bumper sort can get off the mark at the chief expense of Valsorpresa, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fourth at Down Royal and remains with potential. Chrisco and Suttons Hill appeal as the pick of the rest and can fight it out for minor honours.
Fairly competitive but LITTLEFOOT is bred to appreciate this distance and has done very little wrong in his career to date

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
ATLANTIC WONDER ran a big race when second at Roscommon last time and looks capable of landing a contest of this standard. The six-year-old came to dispute two from home then before giving way in the closing stages to finish second to Prioritise. He is still relatively lightly raced and could improve once again. Hard Target ran a solid race to finish third at Kilbeggan last time and off the same mark he has to be on the shortlist here. Likewise, Ricky Langford was also placed last time at the same venue and is another that has to come into consideration.
ATLANTIC WONDER is improving by the run and looks the way to go on the back of his very good Roscommon second. In-form C&D scorer Ricky Langford is feared most, although Leroy Leroy needs considering too having hinted at a revival when third behind Tony Martin's 6-y-o last time.
A good gallop will be important for ATLANTIC WONDER to enable him to settle effectively; if getting it, he'll be hard to beat

3.33/1(+39%) | (12) Lily's Choice 3.33/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in bumper at Tramore (16.6f, good, 5/4) on NH debut 35 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Significantly up in trip. Stable having good spell. Too keen when beaten favourite on bumper debut; top professional on now for hurdles bow. |

5th (1) (9/1 -125%) High City Roller |
9/1(-125%) | (1) High City Roller 9/1, Fairly useful hurdler. 10/1, first run since leaving W. P. Mullins when creditable second of 8 in novice hurdle at this course (20f, good to soft) 37 days ago.

5/1(-50%) | (3) Misty's Gift 5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.4f, good, 7/2) 39 days ago, no match for winner. Shortlist material. Solid recent form including at 3m; sure to be thereabouts. |

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
HIGH CITY ROLLER ran a big race on his first outing for Liz Doyle here in late May and may be able to gain a deserved win now. The Arcadio gelding just failed to peg back Hartur D'arc over two-and-a-half miles last time and it's no surprise to see him stepping up in trip now. Hurdling debutant Kinbara could be the danger in the race. The Mahler gelding was a point-to-point winner before making a successful 'track' debut in a Killarney bumper last July. He made little impression on his return in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April but ran well to chase home the impressive High Class Hero in a 'winners' event at Listowel early last month. Misty's Gift is another with solid placed form over hurdles and he has to come into the mix here.
The vote goes to MISTY'S GIFT, who is 0-10 in this sphere but she was clear of the rest when chasing home the progressive An Mhi (successful twice again since) at Ballinrobe last time. A reproduction of that effort would probably be enough to see her home in front here. High City Roller went close starting out for this yard over 2½m here and, with this step up in trip a likely plus, he is the clear main danger. Bumper winner Kinbara is third choice ahead of Lily's Choice.
A tricky enough maiden with a tentative vote going to KINBARA to make a winning debut over hurdles

1st (1) (1/1 +60%) Ballyadam |
1/1(+60%) | (1) Ballyadam 1/1, Smart winner at 16f over hurdles. Creditable second of 8 in novice chase (11/8) at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 39 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Bumped into a smart sort when reverting to fences (two chase runs in 2021) at Ballinrobe. |

2.25/1(+36%) | (2) Hubrisko 2.25/1, Useful winner at 17f over hurdles. 11/4, very good second of 6 in novice chase at Punchestown (24f, good) 26 days ago. Stable in good form. Leading player. Jumped better on second chase start when runner-up to 145-rated hurdler at Punchestown. |

3rd (3) (2.75/1 -46%) Joyeux Machin |

BALLYADAM was no match for the impressive Hercule Du Seuil at Ballinrobe last time but looks capable of getting off the mark over fences now. The Fame And Glory gelding was a Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler but hasn't really lived up to that since. He has shown some solid form in handicap company, however, and as a solid fifth in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham this year. He was favourite on his return to chasing in late May but couldn't match the winner then. This looks a winnable opportunity now. Willie Mullins saddles Hubrisko and he looks a danger after a couple of solid placed efforts over fences. He chased home Salvador Ziggy at Punchestown last month, having met trouble in running, and should be capable of another big show. Joyeux Machin was a good winner over hurdles here in late May and is one to note on his chase debut.
BALLYADAM was a smart winner over hurdles so is taken to build on his Ballinrobe chasing second and open his account in this sphere. Punchestown second Hubrisko and fencing debutant Joyeux Machin should ensure Henry de Bromhead's 8-y-o doesn't have things all his own way though.
A good beginners'; the most intriguing of the chasing debutants is Joyeux Machin but BALLYADAM can put his experience to good use

2nd (7) (9/1 -125%) Snugsborough Hall |
9/1(-125%) | (7) Snugsborough Hall 9/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Fourth of 11 in handicap chase (11/1) at Roscommon (24.2f, good) 25 days ago, shaping up quite well. Veteran but still retains plenty of enthusiasm. Veteran was remote fourth (just ahead of Champagne Gold) over 3m at Roscommon last month. |

3rd (6) (5.5/1 +66%) Sit Down Lucy |
5.5/1(+66%) | (6) Sit Down Lucy 5.5/1, Useful winner at 19f over hurdles. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap chase (25/1) at Punchestown (21f, good to soft) 70 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Hurdle and chase winner at Galway last summer; needs a revival in form. |

4th (5) (12/1 -20%) All Those Years |
12/1(-20%) | (5) All Those Years 12/1, 11/1, sixth of 7 in minor event hurdle at this course (17.4f, good to soft) 37 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Switches from hurdles to chase in cheekpieces and jumping could do with some work over the larger obstacles. Reverts to fences after a couple of spins over hurdles and cheekpieces may be beneficial. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (3/1 -50%) Birchdale |
3/1(-50%) | (3) Birchdale 3/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 7 in handicap chase (10/3) at Punchestown (21f, good) 26 days ago, sticking to task. Very likely to be on the premises. In contention when departing two out in Killarney; solid second at Punchestown last time. |

Back up in trip and he should now be spot on fitness-wise. C&D winner two years ago and scored at Thurles in December; may find this a bit too hot. |

3/1(+25%) | (2) Champagne Gold 3/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap chase at Roscommon (24.2f, good, 17/2) 25 days ago. Blinkers replace cheekpieces and he's back on his career-low mark. Beaten 20l at Roscommon; last two starts over 3m, drops back in trip with blinkers tried. |

BIRCHDALE comes here in decent form and this looks a nice opportunity for him. The Jeremy gelding was in contention when falling on his penultimate outing at Killarney before chasing home Arrycan at Punchestown last month, and is only a pound higher now. Snugsborough Hall ran a decent race on his return to the 'track' when fourth at Roscommon last time and could be a player now having eased a couple of pounds since. He had Champagne Gold back in fifth that day and may be able to confirm placings with that rival, who is fitted with blinkers for the first time now.
BIRCHDALE is back in excellent order, casting aside a fall when runner-up despite conceding first run at Punchestown last month. He rates the percentage call, though Champagne Gold lurks on a dangerous mark. Veteran Snugsborough Hall is another to consider.
If BIRCHDALE can run close to his best, he should take a fair bit of beating; he holds course winner Take All on Punchestown form

1st (2) (2.5/1 +9%) Clairmc |
2.5/1(+9%) | (2) Clairmc 2.5/1, Promising sort. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap chase at this course (19.8f, good to soft, 11/1) 17 days ago. Should progress. Up 7lb for last month's 2m4f win here but could well have more to offer. |

2nd (9) (3.33/1 +5%) Berliet Express |
3.33/1(+5%) | (9) Berliet Express 3.33/1, Creditable third of 7 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16.3f, good, 7/2) 28 days ago. Enters calculations. Two good recent efforts at Limerick and Clonmel give him major claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 +0%) Freddie Robdal |
5/1(+0%) | (4) Freddie Robdal 5/1, Winner in chase at Tramore in April. Creditable third of 7 in handicap chase (4/1) at Tramore (15.2f, good) 35 days ago. Tramore winner found ground plenty quick at same venue latest; rain would suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (10/1 +60%) Some Woman |
10/1(+60%) | (7) Some Woman 10/1, 18/1, creditable fifth of 13 in novice chase at Tramore (21f, good) 35 days ago. Down in trip. Makes handicap chase debut. Didn't build on promising chasing debut; hard to assess now entering handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6/1 +45%) Coole Arcade |
6/1(+45%) | (5) Coole Arcade 6/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 5 runs last season. 8/1, fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Clonmel (16.3f, good) 28 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival. C&D winner last summer but needs to improve on recent form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (7/1 -100%) Francois |
7/1(-100%) | (3) Francois 7/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Running well fell in handicap chase (7/2) at Clonmel (20f, good) 28 days ago looking threatening at the time. Cheekpieces back on. Has good chance on form. Faller two out at Clonmel last month; on a competitive mark and one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (6.5/1 +70%) Peckham Springs |
6.5/1(+70%) | (6) Peckham Springs 6.5/1, 8/1, tenth of 14 in handicap chase at Thurles (16.4f, good to soft) 148 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Better hurdler and lacks a recent run but could be approaching a competitive mark. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's race.
BERLIET EXPRESS may be able to gain a deserved success over fences here. The Sageburg gelding won twice over timber and has been placed three times over the larger obstacles, including on his two most recent outings. He travelled best in the lead turning for home at Clonmel last time, but was headed after a mistake two from home. Off the same mark he looks capable of collecting now. Clairmc was a good winner over almost half a mile further here last time and bids to defy a 7lb rise. The drop back in trip would be a slight concern given the way she ran through the line then. Freddie Robdal is another who comes here in decent form and has to be on the shortlist.
FRANCOIS looked a big threat when exiting at the second-last back in this sphere at Clonmel last month and he is appealing off an untouched mark. Next on the list is Clairmc, who made it second time lucky over fences over 2½m here recently, albeit this drop back in trip may not prove to be ideal. Berliet Express merits respect, too, while C&D winner Coole Arcade would certainly have a chance if bouncing back.
A good winner here last month over 2m4f, CLAIRMC can follow up over this shorter trip on only her third start over fences

1st (3) (0.67/1 +46%) Friends |
0.67/1(+46%) | (3) Friends 0.67/1, Mahler mare. Dam unraced half-sister to dual bumper winner/fairly useful hurdle winner (stayed 21f) Joanne One. Obvious appeal for top yard and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant. Represents top yard and obvious respect on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/1 -43%) Ma Bess |
5/1(-43%) | (8) Ma Bess 5/1, Once-raced maiden. Second of 18 in bumper at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft, 9/1) on NH debut 42 days ago, no match for winner. Up in trip. Limerick second probably won't need to improve too much to play a major role here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/1 +0%) I Am Shadow |
11/1(+0%) | (4) I Am Shadow 11/1, Remains a maiden after 7 bumper runs. Respectable eighth of 13 in bumper (8/1) at Kilbeggan (15.1f, good to soft) 78 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Solid level of form last year, better than Kilbeggan run in April. |

4th (1) (50/1 -52%) Aine Beag |
50/1(-52%) | (1) Aine Beag 50/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 15 in bumper (50/1) at Punchestown (16.2f, good) on NH debut 27 days ago. Up in trip. Mild promise on debut when a 50-1 shot at Punchestown last month; needs to improve plenty. |

5th (2) (5.5/1 +54%) Fortunate Lighting |
5.5/1(+54%) | (2) Fortunate Lighting 5.5/1, Twice-raced maiden. 11/1, fifth of 12 in bumper at Galway (16f, heavy), needing lesser test. Off 8 months. Up in trip. Shaped as if this longer trip would suit at Galway; lack of a recent run a concern. |

6th (11) (80/1 -142%) Shanlaylin |
80/1(-142%) | (11) Shanlaylin 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, fifth of 10 in bumper at Sligo (18f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Showed a bit more at Sligo last month but bit to find with Marvel Star on that run. |

7th (13) (66/1 -32%) The Derry Girl |
66/1(-32%) | (13) The Derry Girl 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, fifth of 14 in bumper at this course (20f, good to soft) on NH debut 37 days ago, left with too much to do. C&D debut promise in May, could have more to offer. |

8th (6) (12/1 +25%) Iriskana |
12/1(+25%) | (6) Iriskana 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 18 in bumper (33/1) at Limerick (16.4f, good to soft) 42 days ago, needing stiffer test. Up in trip. Limerick fourth a step up on Tipperary debut effort but good bit more likely required here. |

9th (9) (28/1 -40%) Marvel Star |
28/1(-40%) | (9) Marvel Star 28/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in bumper (28/1) at Sligo (18f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Remote third behind a facile winner at Sligo; more needed to get in the mix here. |

|U| (12) (150/1 -355%) Sister Emmanuel |
150/1(-355%) | (12) Sister Emmanuel 150/1, Masterofthehorse mare. Dam unraced half-sister to smart hurdler (stayed 25f) Milsean. Newcomer for whom market likely best guide. |

10th (10) (14/1 -211%) Our Girl Sal |
14/1(-211%) | (10) Our Girl Sal 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. 33/1, second of 18 in novice hurdle at Listowel (16f, good) on hurdles bow 32 days ago, running on. Switches from hurdles to bumpers. Up in trip. Recent Listowel mares' maiden hurdle runner-up should relish this longer trip. |

11th (5) (50/1 -25%) Into The Unknown |
50/1(-25%) | (5) Into The Unknown 50/1, Sea The Stars mare. Half-sister to 1m winner abroad Stellar Comet. Dam 10.3f winner on Flat. Cheaply bought Sea The Stars mare for whom market best guide on belated debut. |

It's hard to get away from Willie Mullins in bumpers given his recent record and newcomer FRIENDS may prove the pick here. The Mahler filly is the first foal of an unraced mare, who is a half-sister to Listed bumper winner Joanne One and from the family of the yard's Grade 1 winning mare Colreevy. Point-to-point winner Ma Bess ran a big race on her 'track' debut when chasing home another Mullins mare, Ivana, at Limerick and she could be the danger now. Our Girl Sal ran well at a big price when second over hurdles at Listowel last month and could be place material again back in a bumper.
Given Willie Mullins' record in bumpers, FRIENDS is automatically of interest and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. Ma Bess was a winner of her sole start between the flags and is probably the main danger following an encouraging Rules debut second in a Listowel bumper. I Am Shadow and Marvel Star are others to consider.
With the yard's 68% strike-rate in bumpers it seems folly to overlook the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer FRIENDS

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.
