4.50pm RACE 1
COLM QUINN BMW Novice Hurdle of €35,000 (Listed Race)
(Registered as the Castlegar Novice Hurdle) (Generously sponsored by COLM QUINN BMW) A novice hurdle for four years old and upwards. About 2 miles 110 yards.
RACE PREDICTOR
The Predictor is a ‘Computer Generated’ predicted outcome of the race in visual form, generated by an algorithm of key factors (including eg current form, ratings and going.)
PREDICTION: GAUCHER
RACE VERDICT
Willie Mullins has not fared well with fancied runners in this event in recent years and GAUCHER could be vulnerable having looked somewhat headstrong so far. However, he has a good engine and may have derived enough benefit from his Punchestown run to suggest he may account for these rivals. Al Gasparo may be on the upgrade and British-trained mare Gale Mahler is respected on account of her winning streak. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

RACE VERDICT
If taking to chasing effectively MERLIN GIANT, who has shown a liking for this track, may have too much firepower for these rivals. Thecompanysergeant ran a fine race in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse but hius jumping was ragged at Tipperary last time, and he owed his second place to the fall of Jet Setting Jim. At his best, Denis Hogan’s runner would go close. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

PREDICTION: LADY MAIREN
RACE VERDICT
An interesting if not the deepest of maidens. The well-bred Lady Mairen should be a big player from last year’s winning stable, while Bubbling should improve plenty from her Leopardstown debut. Preference is for Moyglare entry MARAZION, who ran okay considering how keen she was in a very hot Curragh maiden last month and has plenty of improvement in her.

RACE PREDICTOR

PREDICTION: CURRENT OPTION
RACE VERDICT
In contrast to overall trends at the venue,this has been won by a horse with a double-figure draw for the past seven years. However, the one that appeals most is PLUME NOIRE who represents the trainer/rider combination that took this race in 2021. She looked a little unlucky over 7f last time and had previously won over 1m on her seasonal debut. Likely dangers include the progressive Booyea, last year’s winner Coeur D’Or and This Songisforyou who will be sharper than on his seasonal debut last month. [Alan Sweetman] Source: Racing Post

PREDICTION: ENOUGH ALREADY
RACE VERDICT
As wide open as you would expect. Cross-channel challenger Reidh adds plenty to the contest while being difficult to assess. Imperial Dream perhaps deserves a change of luck but the bad draw might be too much to overcome. The selection is ALPHA CAPTURE, a one-time Listed winner who beat Chavajod at Killarney two weeks ago and might still have plenty to offer off this sort of mark.

RACE PREDICTOR
PREDICTION: SIRJACK THOMAS
RACE VERDICT
Plenty of these with bits and pieces of chances but few stand out. Alessia Fernanda comes here after a good Leopardstown run where she was quite unlucky. Miss Abby Jools and Palo Duro are both worth a market check. Rampage and Speckled Meadow both have solid each-way chances. Blackcastle Storm will go close if defying an 11lb rise for his last two starts. A good chance is possessed by ONE BOSS who will appreciate coming back to this trip on ground with a slight ease, although she might need some luck in running from her inside draw.
