RACE SUMMARY A promising third on his hurdling debut at Leopardstown over Christmas, MORDOR should be open to plenty of improvement and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get oﬀ the mark. Formerly with David Simcock on the Flat, the son of Roaring Lion can uphold form with Lark In The Mornin (sixth), while Highwind is an intriguing French recruit to the Willie Mullins yard and should be monitored for market support. Bright Legend and Imadpour cannot be ruled out either.

RACE SUMMARY WOODSTREAM LAD was hit with an 11lb rise having bolted up at Thurles in November, but that didn’t stop Philip Rothwell’s charge from ﬁnishing an excellent second in a competitive heat at Leopardstown next time. A further 4lb rise might not be enough to stop the Soldier Of Fortune gelding and he can regain the winning sequence, possibly at the main expense of Morricone. Ricky Bobby enters calculations, while others to note include Joyeux Vivo and Brogue Man River.

DID YOU KNOW

Regardless of their actual date of birth (or foaling to use a racing term), all thoroughbred racehorses in the Northern hemisphere share the same birthday - 1st January. In the Southern hemisphere all horses share 1st August due to the fact that the seasons are reversed.

HEADGEAR EXPLAINED

Have you ever wondered why some horses wear headgear? Is it just a fashion accessory? Most deﬁnitely not. Headgear is a useful tool in the armoury of a trainer and is used to aid a horse’s performance on the track.

BLINKERS - Blinkers can be used to aid concentration. A half cup placed behind the horses eye helps them to keep looking forwards to focus on the job at hand - winning their race! VISORS - Very similar to blinkers but with a slit cut in the side of the cup, which enables a horse to see the other runners around them. CHEEKPIECES - Sheepskin Cheekpieces work on a similar principle to Blinkers and Visors but allow a slightly better range of vision. EYE SHIELDS - Eye Shields are a fine mesh that covers the entire eye but they do allow full vision. HOOD - Covering the ears and head, a hood is used for horses that are easily spooked by crowds or noises, rather than for concentration purposes. NOSEBAND - A Noseband is designed to restrict the field of vision and encourage a horse to focus on the race, usually lowering their head in the process. TONGUE STRAP - Horses do not breathe through their mouth but even so, it can hamper speed and performance to have their mouth open or tongue flopping about. A tongue strap prevents this by keeping the tongue in place for the duration of the race.

RACE SUMMARY DGALWAYGALLIVANTOR put it all together when winning over 2m at Cork in November and a 7lb rise might yet underestimate Gavin Cromwell’s charge should he improve for the step up in trip. Jack Du Large didn’t show much in maiden hurdles, but he’s bred to be far better than his opening mark and merits closer inspection ahead of his handicap bow. Mr Social is a consistent type and shouldn’t be far away, while Friends N Commerce should not be underestimated in the ﬁrst-time blinkers.

RACE SUMMARY As a former point-to-point winner, this significant step up in trip looks like a good move for SPRINGT DE LA MARE on his hurdles debut. Connections won this contest last year and they can do so once more with the five-year-old as he looks to see off the likes of Slanagaibhgoleir and Chosen Thyme, who ran arguably a career best when runner-up at Clonmel last month. Placed on two of his last three starts, Insouciant Dallier is capable of being in the shake-up too.

BETTING EXPLAINED

The first thing to consider is which type of bet you wish to place. The most common is a win bet, where if your selection wins, you win. It is a no nonsense, on the nose bet and if you are lucky enough to pick a big-priced winner, you will receive a nice return. For example, place €5 to win on a 10-1 shot and you will receive €55 back, €50 winnings plus your €5 stake. Another common bet is each-way. This is effectively two bets in one. One bet is on your selection to win and the other is on it to place. Depending on the type of race and how many runners are in the race will determine how many places are offered. The industry standard bookmaker place terms are as follows: All races of less than 5 runners – win only All races of 5-7 runners –1/4 odds a place, 1,2 All other races of more than 8 runners – 1/5, 1,2,3 Handicaps of 12-15 runners – 1/4 , 1,2,3 Handicaps of more than 15 runners – 1/4 , 1,2,3,4

RACE SUMMARY Glenabo Bridge was all out to get up by half a length over an extended 2m4f at Fairyhouse in November and he should put in a bold showing oﬀ a 5lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to BUACHAILLBOCHT, who was well held in third at Tramore earlier in the month but remains on the same mark. The son of Blue Bresil could have more to oﬀer on only his third handicap start and can improve to make it two wins from his last three outings. No Fussing completes the shortlist.

RACE SUMMARY Instant Tendance has plenty of experience which should stand her in good stead, and her latest second over an extended 2m2f here on New Year’s Eve is arguably her best eﬀort, so she has to be considered. However, this could go the way of MAUGHREEN, who is a full-sister to Blow Your Wad and the daughter of Walk In The Park could make an impression on debut for her powerful connections. Amanha is another to consider following her second at Thurles.

HANDICAPS EXPLAINED

After three races on the track, the handicap rating system knows enough about a horse to give them an official rating, which in turn determines how much weight they carry in future contests. For example, if one horse is rated 100, and the other is rated 95, the horse rated five points more than the other will essentially carry an additional 5lb in weight. Should the horse carrying 5lb extra continue to beat horses rated inferior to them or amongst those with similar figures, that horse would rise up the class system to tackle harder races against better individuals. The aim of a handicap race is to give every horse an equal chance of winning, and the plan is to have every horse crossing the finish line at the same time - which is surprisingly yet to happen!
