I love this time of year but at the same time rue it everytime I actually come to sit down with because it's so bloody difficult with so many great horses here but I'm looking towards the bottom of the Card at Emmet Mullins 6 year old Mare DIPPEDINMOONLIGHT who arrives here pretty unexposed as she takes on only her 2nd handicap race (what a way to announce yourself right?!). Being a daughter of the Mighty ZARAK you'd like to think this charge won't mind the muck flying & it certainly seemed like this trip looked a good shout. When we look back at this Mare's last run on This surface we have a respectable 4th 4½ (@Fairyhouse 20f) where she was only 1¾ off ZANOOSH who went on to win twice in succession the latter being a big class 2 event betting HGRANCA DE THAIX (124) & SON OF ANARCHY(128). Young National hunt Jockey Michael Kenneally is really starting to garner the attention he truly deserves he picked up a win here yesterday on Day 1 of the festival & sheds a very useful 7lbs jockey also has a 50% place strike rate here the past 5 years.

What a head scratcher but I'm going to pin my hopes on Tony Martin's 6 year old Gelding PUTAPOUNDINTHEJAR who gets a real pull at the weights after a decent enough Grade 3 handicap @Cheltenham in the winter finishing 6th on Soft ground now drops 6lbs & gets another 7lbs from Jockey Conor Clarke so a whopping 13lbs all in. The ground is slightly concerning but it was Soft at Cheltenham that day. 5 places on offer and we're getting 16/1 I wouldn't personally go any lower but we are deep in chuck a dart territory here. Good luck.

Gordan Elliott arrives here mob handed with so many with chances but I like the look of his 7 year old French Gelding PRENDS GARDE A TOI who on the bare form looks as if this drop in trip 'Should' (in theory) make sense with 24f stretching him last time out (@Naas) - the drop back to his winning 20f trip (again @Naas - Heavy Ground) looks a real positive. The testing ground shouldn't hold any fears & with Cheek pieces applied for the 1st time today I'm happy enough with 6 places on offer have an each way pop.

This Daughter of MILAN ran respectively enough here over the Christmas period (7th 21f Good/Yielding).

Paul Mulligan's 3 year old Filly HONEY DALE looks worth a swing at 22/1 steps up in trip here which probably looks the right decision being just 4 lengths of the winner here last time out. This Daughter of DAWN APPROACH drops 2lbs & gets the services of 7lb claimer Rory Mulligan who rides for his father & has a 50% place strike rate the past fortnight. This Filly gets a much better draw in stall 5 today (14 last time out). It's tentative & I certainly wouldn't be running down to the bookies in a hurry but a very small each way wouldn't hurt.

This son of WALK IN THE PARK also has a strong record here at Thurles, with a 67% place strike rate over the past five years. Soft ground shouldn’t bother this lad. Both jockey and trainer have decent enough records here as well, with five-year place strike rates of 25.16% and 27.59% respectively.
At 14/1, the price seems a little on the high side, in my humble opinion.

This is an interesting one - Sean Allen's Newest Arrival 7 year old Mare SIUL MOLLY SIUL who to my untrained eye looked a stayer when watching her past few runs, New trainer had this Daughter of BULLET TRAIN booked to run at the postponed Limerick meeting earlier this week over 2mile but this trip looks better suited with a 2nd place @Clonmel (19f Soft) 5lbs heavier on her CV. This Mare has shown a bit more gusto when running on the testing turf & drops another 2lbs.

This daughter of DANDY MAN was 4¼ lengths off the LAHORE DA KING who won his 2nd race in succession now rated 57.

Perhaps David Marnane's 10 year old Gelding JERED MADDOX's best days are well and truly behind him but this old boy has landed me some big priced wins in the past so certainly owes me nothing but on his current mark (like many in this contest) I can't see how you could totally dismiss him. This Son of LAWMAN is no stranger here @Dundalk notching up 11 career win here with 6 of those over today's trip off marks of 58-74 & yes I know this lad hasn't been at the races but it has only been 2 runs here since we saw This charge winning a much deeper contest off a mark of 82 (5f). Normally I'd be thrilled at nabbing stall #1 but this lad has never been one to make the running so that's kind of irrelevant & if im being honest the jockey booking doesn't exactly thrill me but I'm not here to knock jockeys I totally respect the job they do & besides 10lb is extremely helpful. Would I back this lad at 10/1 no I wouldn't but at 33/1 I'm happy to have a very small each way for this proven track specialist.

We're getting double figures here surprisingly for Paul Gilligan's 7 year old Mare SURVIVORS SISTER who was making rapid late headway here @Limerick (19f Soft/Heavy) over the Christmas period when falling at the last now there are questions as to wether this Daughter of MOUNT NELSON would have caught the eventual winner but this charge is only upped 1lb & Trainer gives his Son (Jack Gilligan) the leg up who sheds a very useful 5lbs & has a 24.32% place strike rate here the past 5 years. Should this charge be ok after that fall then we can hope for a similar run (minus the fall). Were certainly not getting the 40/1 odds that were on offer 29 days ago but still decent each odds in my humble opinion.

Big price here for Liam Burke's 8 year old Mare CLOUDY FOUNTAIN of course the price is well deserved however I don't think this Daughter of CLOUDINGS cant be totally written off with this charge being very unexposed over the tall timber & when taking in talented claimer Michael Kenneally's 7lb allowance it brings this Mare 10lbs below her last win over Hurdles. The step back up in trip 'Should' suit with this girl's better performances coming over 23-24f & ground shouldn't pose too many questions either with the aforementioned races coming on testing ground. Jockey has a 25% place strike rate the past month & 41.18% place strike rate here @Punchestown the past 5 years. Big 40/1 odds with enough in the profile for me to hope (and prey).

Martin Brassil's 8 year old Gelding BUILT BY BALLY MORE has drifted slightly in the market I should probably take that as a sign but where is the fun in that? Besides that though this Son of FLEMINSFIRTH's run on New Year's Eve @Punchestown wasn't awful considering he was returning from a 297 day sabbatical & this drop to a previous winning distance (over hurdles) could be just what this lad needs. The Juice filled turf shouldn't worry him either. Jockey JJ Slevin is absolutely flying at the moment with a 35.71% win strike rate the past fortnight. The odds have helped sway my descion here despite the market slightly waning.

I'm going to have to delve into my ever growing book of excuses to help make my case for Emmet Mullins 7 year old French Gelding JUSTATAN but too be fair that's maybe a bit too harsh because I thought this Son of ESTEJO was running ok when last seen running @Clonmel (16f Heavy) on penultimate & I certainly don't think the Winner (& Today's Rival) would have won by 6 lengths had our charge have not been badly hindred & it's credit to him to have even been able to scrape back 3rd place. Not so bad right? WELL I've absolutely no idea what happened over the Christmas period (@Limerick) but perhaps this step up in trip can bring about some improvement here on Handicap Debut. Jockey Donagh Meyler has a decent enough record the past month 29.03% place strike rate & 41.25% place strike rate when riding for this yard the past year. It's tentative & the price is right - Small stakes only.

Patrick McKenna’s 4 year old Gelding BATTLE BORNE ran a solid race here two weeks ago when finishing a respectable third, beaten 4½ by Beat The Devil, who features again in today’s renewal 2lbs higher (7lb is negated by a decent claimer)
Crucially, This Son of ACCLAMATION competes from the same mark here, leaving him potentially better treated at the weights relative to the winner this time around. He is also much better drawn in Stall #3 looking ideal compared to Beat The Devil, who has been posted wide. Paddy Harnett is back in the saddle once more, and boasts a solid 28.8% place strike-rate at Dundalk over the past five years. At around 16/1, he looks to have each-way claims in what could be a more favourable set-up today.

Ciaran Murphy’s 4 Year old Gelding TOMMY MCJOHN caught the eye last time out and wasn’t beaten far when fading late on at Dundalk. That run suggested there’s more to come, and the circumstances today look more favourable. This son of MEHMAS now drops 4lb in the weights, is drawn ideally in stall one, and benefits from a valuable 7lb claimer aboard in Rory Mulligan. He’s already proven himself over this trip on the turf, which adds another positive to the profile. With conditions likely to suit and the handicap mark easing, he looks well worth consideration and could be very competitive at the prices.

I've spent more time on this than I've wanted to & I've bounced from a few charges but I'll (Finally) settle on an outsider here in the shape of Sean Allen's 10 year old French Gelding LONESOME BOATMAN. This son of JUKEBOX JURY won the Cork Grand National by 6 lengths in November & was raised 9lbs for that but more than held his own 28 days later @Fairyhouse in the Porterstown Handicap. This French lad gets a very talented Claimer in the shape of Michael Kenneally who is ridiculously good value for his 7lbs which brings this charge back to 121. Testing Ground 'shouldnt' be a problem for this lad with 3/4 of his Point to Point wins coming on juice filled turf it should also be noted he won all of these comfortably: Lingstown 2L, Tallow 5½L, Castlelands 3L & Lisronagh 8L. Big Price here & quite potentially a swing & miss but at 28/1 I'm happy to side with this Featherlight French charge.

My original choice (Lonesome Boatman) didn't get into this contest so I'll move onto my 2nd choice, John McConnell's 10 year old Gelding VELVET ELVIS who is currently trading at big 33's & for good reason he's been underwhelming in his last few runs for his new yard BUT this Son of SHIROCCO was a runner up in this very contest last year just 2lbs lighter although 7lb Claimer Dylan Kidd's weight allowance helps keep him honest. The Slop in the turf shouldn't bother this lad. Look at this price & given his previous run here it would be foolhardy to complety write this charge off all together & who knows this contest may have been the plan for a while. I've backed much worse. Fingers crossed.

What a great card here at Gowran Park with a nice juicy 0-100 handicap on heavy ground ??" a barn burner. This is difficult, but I popped Evanna McCutcheon's 8-year-old gelding RAJJNATIN into my tracker a few runs back at Punchestown (21f, heavy), where this son of RAJJ looked to be making steady headway 3 out before fading. I noted then that a drop back in trip should/could suit this charge. He then went to Clonmel (19f, heavy) and a similar story: making headway 3 out before fading. We now get a drop to 16f, which hopefully does the trick. The mud doesn't seem to bother him, and having the experience of Clonmel's uphill finish obviously helps here. I've got my wish for a lesser trip, and I'm getting it currently at 16/1 with 5 places on offer. I'll roll the dice.

Noel Kelly’s 10 year old gelding
LE GRAND VERT isn’t straight forward but at current odds im happy to have a deeper dive. This son of GREAT PRETENDER isn’t exactly consistent. But looking through his form line this French lad’s best form comes when the juice has seeped into the turf with both wins coming on that going (off marks of 83/99) & 50% of his 8 places also coming on testing ground.
Aside from his a spin over hurdles last month he hasn’t had the ground he wants over the tall timber in quite some time. Fences is where this lad shines with a 47.62% place strike rate.
This charge has a very experienced pilot in the hole in Keith Donoghue. At 20/1 the price is right so lets hope the mud slop in the turf reignites this French charge, now 3lbs lighter for his last win.

QUEEN NEL would have needed the run out 16 days ago @Fairyhouse after a 207 day sabbatical, to my untrained eye the ground wouldn’t have been to her liking either.
This daughter of MOUNT NELSON has a win (and a place) to go on testing ground along with other ‘better runs’ coming with juice in the ground so today’s surface looks to be in her favour.
This charges mark drops lower now (due to those runs on faster ground). Experienced pilot Jordan Gainford is back in the saddle & ran a decent race with this mare back in April @Fairyhouse.

Should Kevin Thornton's 7 year old Gelding SHANROE NANCY get into the mix here from 2nd reserve spot Im intrigued to see how this Son of RULE OF LAW fares here. I genuinely thought this Charge was running ok making some headway a fortnight ago here @Fairyhouse despite a 330 day layoff & had he not been hampered here by a faller 2 out I'm pretty confident he would have atleast have landed some Prize money. This lad drops 1lb for that which is a plus as is Trainers record here the past 5 years (34.21% place strike rate) & you'd find yourself in profit had you backed all this stables runners EW blindly in that time frame. 5 places at current 16/1 odds is enough for me to have a nibble at it hoping this charge 1] Gets into the contest & 2] Strips fitter for last time outs pipeopner.

This Charge has hit the frame over this trip twice in the last two editions of the Laytown card (finishing just ½ on her first attempt off a mark of 47) & has been competitive enough at this level on the turf on highter marks (actually won off 52). Jockey Nicola Burns is a decent booking who is ridiculously good value for her 5lb claim. Drawn in stall 3 here running at the bottom of the weights. 69 days away might be a reason for concern but this charge won her only race when returning from such a break so there is that. The price is bang on here & there are obviously risks but it's the game we play.

This son of DARK ANGEL had previously raced in two listed events @ Meydan then finished 2½ lengths 5th @ Keeneland in a grade 3 contest. So this is a huge drop in class & gets another pull at the weights with jockey Patrick McGettigan’s 7lb claim. It’s a big plus as well as the jockey’s record when riding for this yard with an impressive 40.74% place strike rate the past year.

Tony Martin’s 5-year-old gelding HAERET IN PECTORE went into the scrapbook when keeping on here last month despite being drawn in the carpark to finish 3¾ off the winner to finish 5th, all this despite a 189-day break.
This son of SIOUX NATION should strip fitter, plus lighter now (by 2lbs) and whilst you would say being drawn is stall #11 is no gift, it’s certainly a lot better than stall #17.
This charge will need an opponent to drop out to get into this contest from 1st reserve, but other than that there is a lot to like here. Stepping up in trip, drawn better, lighter, fresher, & to top all this off trainer Tony Martin has a very respectable 32.20% place strike rate here @Dundalk the past 5 years.

What's that old saying "Fool Me Once.." well we're moving into "Fool me Twice" territory here with Pat Foley's 7 year old Mare ARCTIC PIPER who is one from the tracker who I noted when she looked to be making headway 2 from the finish @Thurles (20f Yielding/Soft). Upping this Daughter of WALK IN THE PARK in trip was fruitless & perhaps the boxing day run @Limerick should have been the final straw but being the forgiving/Stubborn sod I am I'm happy to give this Mare one last shot & to be fair this is a drop in class & when last seen here @Clonmel(19f Soft) in February this charge didn't look dead & buried before falling 11lbs heavier than she arrives here today. We have a first time visor added to tongue tie. Last chance Saloon here.

What's the chances Pat Foley's 7 year old Mare KOOLIO KATE gets a run here from (Now) 2nd Reserve spot? I'm not sure but with Heavy Ground you never know and at current 25/1 odds I'm happy to buy a ticket. Should this Daughter of SOLDIER OF FORTUNE get a run then I don't think you could 100% laugh of her chances of atleast being able to hit the frame. The pedigree backs up her preference for running through the slop with a respectable enough 4th place finish @Limerick (19f Heavy) in November & wasn't far off 2 out the step up to 20f didn't seem to help @Fairyhouse last month so back in trip we go. Risks attached obviously but the price is certainly right but with 5 places on on offer why not you just never know in these bargain basement affairs.

This is difficult especially when moving away from some of the big sharks in this race & this is probably one of those times that I just need to walk away but at current 20/1 odds Phillip Rothwell 9 year old gelding CHEERFUL CHAP is dragging me back in. We will have to extend the festive goodwill a little longer to excuse this son of Pour Moi’s run last month Navan but this lad’s penultimate at Cheltenham in November where he finished 3rd behind HERAKLES WESTWOOD who won nicely yesterday at Cheltenham shows that this charge could have a little something in the locker & whilst this lad has yet to shed his maiden tag over the tall timber he does boast a 70% place strike rate over fences. Trainer Phillip Rothwell has a great record with this charge with a 77.78% place strike rate. Ground versatile. Risks attached here & may find a few too hot here but could snatch a place at a price.

I landed a nice 18/1 shot 4 days ago @Limerick with Dalmatic but in the same contest it was Daniel Howard's 12 year old Veteran LIKEABLE CHANCER that had me scribbling this old boy into my tracker. This Son of GOLD WELL led from flagfall & started to fade 2 out only to Rally again & had he not been bumped (by my charge) I don't think you could have dismissed him. This Veteran reverts back to the tall timber 1lb lower than his last win. The booking of Jockey Michael Kenneally is a huge boost with this 7lb claimer absolutely flying currently with a 51.52% place strike rate the past month. The Quick turnaround might be too much but if this charge arrives here with the same mindset I don't think you could totally write off this pensioner just yet.

Liam Cusack's 10 year old Gelding BALLYGLASS BEAUTY is an out & Out stayer with an 80% place strike rate over this extended trip & whilst we have to go back to September 2023 for his last win this Son of WESTERNER has been showing glimpses that he could be there or there abouts with a 2nd on Penultimate @Limerick (24f Soft) then in deeper company @Cork (24f Yielding/Soft) this lad didn't look out of it to my untrained eye before being broght down 2 from the finish. 7lb Claimer Patrick Gleeson remains in the cockpit which is fair enough. This Charge whilst not an out & out winner has hit the frame 13 times (from 28 runs) giving him a solid enough 46.43% place strike rate. Ground versatile & good double figure odds currently at 14/1. There is enough here for me to have an each way play.

I wasn’t sure Martin Hassett’s 6 year old Gelding SIEGE OFJADOTVILLE would get the 3-mile trip last time out at Limerick 4 days ago after keeping on at Cork on his penultimate run over 20f, but I should have been more decisive & not pulled the trigger. But we live & learn, I’m much happier with the step back to 20f & the booking of sub claimer Liam McKenna who has a fantastic record when riding for this yard the past year with a 30.77 win strike rate.
The quick turnaround is a slight concern but this is (in theory) an easier contest than both the previous two runs. I’d be leaving this Son of SOLDIER OF FORTUNE well alone had this change been trading under 14/1 but with current 28/1 available I’ll trust in my tracker one more time.

Edward Crowley’s 7-year-old gelding CATCH THE BEAST looks intriguing here off the back of a decent enough run in much deeper company 52 days ago at Naas in Listed company when finishing 6th, which considering this was coming off a 245-day layoff, I was impressed enough to take notice. This son of WALK IN THE PARK should feel much more comfortable at this level after all. This lad won this very contest very comfortably in 2023 by 10 lengths & now with a tune-up in the bank I don’t think you could write him off completely especially at odds of 25/1. Jockey Phillip Byrnes takes the reins again & will be hoping lightning can strike twice.

We're getting Double Figures odds (just) for Brendan Walsh's 9 year old Gelding LE FANU who finished a respectable enough 3rd 41 days ago here @Limerick and yes I know this son of OCOVANGO was 13 lengths off the winner but this was coming off a 173 day break so I'm happy enough to say fair plays. This charge has yet to shed his maiden tag but his 2/3 Places have come here @Limerick both on Testing Ground and 2/3 of those places have come over 18-19f (@Listowel/Limerick). We get 1lb shaved off here & a step back up in trip which can only be looked at as a positive (in my humble opinion). The booking of Jockey Philip Enright is never a bad thing. Look I'd be happier with higher odds (wouldn't we all) but we've had a few non runners already so it was bound to affect the odds but with the ground conditions likely to suit I'm happy to have a small wager.

Bernard Crowley's 7 year old Mare SLOTTY DOTTY can't be totally disgraced here especially at current 22/1 odds. This Daughter of CAVE COURT takes a drop in class here & can take promise from her penultimate run @Fairyhouse (21f Yielding/Soft) where she finished 3rd & had the Class 3 winning SOLOMON LANE (who won at Navan a few weeks ago) in behind so that certainly give us a bit of hope. This Charge is still learning her craft over the Tall Timber with this only being her 6th run so I'd say she's a little less exposed than some of her rivals today. The Juice filled turf 'shouldnt' hinder this Mare with all of her best hurdle form coming on testing ground ALL around this trip (20-22f). We get a good claimer in the shape of Calum Hogan who sheds a very useful 7lb & has a respectable 34.38% place strike rate here @Limerick the past 5 years. Not nailed on but not without an each way shout now dropping in class.
