RACE SUMMARY HYPERSONIC MISSILE did well in bumpers during his time with John McConnell and, with the switch to hurdles unlikely to pose any problems for this point-to-point winner, he holds leading claims on his stable bow for Gavin Cromwell. Touch Me Not fell at the last when clear on his sole appearance between the flags and has since been bought by powerful connections for 150,000 pounds. He will be expected to figure prominently on his Rules debut, while Anotherway and Catena Zapata also merit consideration.

RACE TWO

Timeless Piece is sure to prove popular after romping home by 10 lengths on her handicap hurdle bow at Down Royal last week. However, Gordon Elliott’s filly does have a 12lb rise to contend with, so it may pay to take a punt on her stablemate DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE. Lightly raced on the Flat, she has picked up plenty of experience over timber so far and has offered enough to suggest that her opening mark is workable. Burvea may fare best of the remainder.

RACE THREE

8 SAINTE BAOL (FR) (34)

RACE SUMMARY Point-to-point winner Tareze must be respected on her Rules debut for a top stable, but it may pay to side with the more experienced BIOLUMINESCENCE. Gavin Cromwell’s charge kept on well to finish second over 2m at Navan on her hurdling bow, and this step up in trip can help her to get her head in front. Paggane finished a well-beaten fifth behind the selection that day, but improved to occupy the runner-up berth at Cork and warrants consideration for her powerful connections.

RACE SUMMARY An intriguing recruit from the Flat in France, where he was successful in July 2022, BILLERICAY DICKIE can strike for his in-form connections, who have taken this contest for the past two years. Related to recent Leopardstown scorer Intellotto, the son of New Bay has been given Cheltenham Festival entries so should have too much for He’s Ultimate, as well as Beau Walking, who has been placed on each of his four starts in this sphere and may be one for handicaps down the line.

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 CHAMPAGNE ADMIRAL accounted for a useful rival when winning a handicap over this distance at Leopardstown a month ago and the six-year-old merits the utmost respect on the back of that performance. The unexposed Joyau De Thaix is an obvious threat following his success at Limerick and Paul Nolan’s gelding should have more to offer on just his third start. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Built By Ballymore is arguably the pick of them.

RACE SUMMARY QUORNOFAMONDAY posted another gallant effort in defeat as favourite when runner-up in a 21-runner affair at Naas earlier this month. A 2lb rise looks more than fair and a well-earned breakthrough victory could be on the cards. There was plenty to like about Verbal Sparring’s close-up second at this venue on New Year’s Eve and the five-year-old is a potential improver now upped in distance, while it’s too soon to write off Gold Haven.

HEADGEAR EXPLAINED

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.

29

RACE SIX

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.

RACE SUMMARY Slight preference is for COSMO RENFRO, who should be well suited by going back up in trip, having scored over an extended 3m at Limerick back in November. The seven-year-old, who then made the frame over 2m5f at the same track, remains relatively unexposed and he gets the vote ahead of Reserve Judgement and Captain Jimmy, who has ground to make up with the selection but won here over further a little more than a year ago. Completing the shortlist are Arthor, Glorious Singer and Made In The Woods.
