RACE ONE

LIGHTKEEPER was beaten out of sight into second by Mercurey, who looks a very promising type, and, prior to that, he was denied by seven lengths by Tullyhill, who went on to record a Listed success here on Sunday. Gordon Elliott’s gelding doesn’t come up against anything like that opposition in this contest and can go one better. Milo Lises’ run at Limerick was too bad to be true last time and he could easily bounce back to get involved, while Red Glory may have come forward for his Fairyhouse reappearance.

RACE SUMMARY Any market support for point-to-point winner Majestic Force should be noted on her Rules debut, after she changed hands for 120,000 pounds at the Cheltenham sales in December. However, preference is for DR EGGMAN, who has plenty of experience on his side and he produced another solid display to hit the crossbar when stepping up to this trip at Navan. The son of Saint Des Saints looks well placed to get oﬀ the mark over timber. Notkeepinyagoing has shown some ability and can ﬁght it out for the minor honours.

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!

RACE TWO

Half-sister to Our Friend, won in a chase at 2m 6f and over hurdles at 2m 4f.

RACE SUMMARY This could prove to be a straightforward task for multiple Grade 1 winner GALA MARCEAU, who sets a lofty standard in this contest with a rating of 141. Willie Mullins’ mare returned from a 251-day break to be beaten by stablemate Ashroe Diamond at Doncaster and even a repeat of that effort could be good enough to take this. The main threat is stable companion Saylavee, who finished a place in front of Hispanic Moon in a Grade 3 event at Leopardstown in December. Annalecka will need to find significant improvement.

There was plenty of encouragement to be taken from TAREZE’s Rules debut when splitting two promising sorts here last month. Henry de Bromhead’s mare sets a strong standard on that runner-up effort and this looks a suitable opportunity for her to go one place better. Atlanticexpress, a half-sister to Lock’s Corner, is a potential fly in the ointment on her racecourse bow. Any market support for the five-year-old would be interesting, while decent bumper performer Cuta Des As also warrants respect now tackling hurdles for the first time.

10 CLOUDY FOUNTAIN (IRE) (123)

RACE SUMMARY An 8lb rise for Aodhan May’s Navan victory earlier in the month looks more than fair and Charles Byrnes’ mare warrants respect in her follow-up bid. However, DUFFYS GETAWAY looked set to regain the winning thread at Fairyhouse last month but for idling towards the ﬁnish and coming home in second. There still appears to be more races in the seven-year-old and he edges the vote. Fellow in-form rivals Cher Why Not and Kiln Time should give another good account of themselves.

RACE SUMMARY Getaway Master picked up plenty of minor money at Galway during the autumn but he lacks the recent run of SILENT FLIGHT, who showed his appreciation for the step up from 2m when getting oﬀ the mark over C&D and is open to plenty more improvement. Shana Cloon is the one who rises in distance now and has been threatening to win a race. Balum wasn’t that far behind the selection last time and might close the gap a little.

RACE SUMMARY Harry’s Dream and Real Empire made the podium behind a smart prospect of Robcour’s on Thyestes day at Gowran but they bump into another interesting type in the same ownership in the shape of SERMANDZARAK, who cost 80,000 euros. The Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old has a useful Flat pedigree, as does Godolphin cast-oﬀ Delta Force, while Colcannon oﬀered plenty of encouragement when third at Naas and has to be feared.
