2:30 Punchestown Going Soft / Distance - 2m 3f

Pool Value: £829.94

JP McManus has several interesting runners in this, perhaps none more so than SHOWURAPPRECIATION who showed he retained his old ability when sixth in a beginners' chase last month and he looked like a promising prospect a couple of seasons ago. He could be better than a mark off 112 back over timber on handicap debut. Portnacoo and Ballysax Hank are two more that could be well treated and Henry de Bromhead's first-string, Nouvotic, will be a major player if fit after an absence. [Phill Anderson]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1	American Sniper Ben Bromley / D Pipe	7yrs / 11st 12lb 916360 Spotlight	130	14/1	18.10	3.00
American Sniper All four wins with good in the going description and gained his fourth success at Newbury earlier in the campaign; however, he was tailed off at Wetherby on his penultimate start and was well held in the Pertemps since; probably vulnerable to better treated rivals in a race like this.
2	Portnacoo P Hanlon / H Smyth	7yrs / 11st 12lb 111341 Spotlight	121	12/1	54.80	4.50
Portnacoo Gained a fourth win with a 7l Carlisle success when last seen in February and that form has been boosted by the runner-up and fourth winning since; only 3lb higher here and conditions in his favour again.
3	She's A Fine Wine Niall Moore / H De Bromhead	7yrs / 11st 12lb 5-1442 Spotlight	122	33/1	50.10	5.60
She's A Fine Wine Respectable efforts in beginners' chases on last two starts; 6lb above last winning mark but ran well from this mark at the Galway Festival when last seen over timber; unexposed at this trip and warrants respect; off 229 days.
4	Whiskeywealth J G Gilligan / T O'Brien	9yrs / 11st 12lb 0-5P5P Spotlight	123	80/1	532.40
Whiskeywealth Encouraging return at Galway in October but disappointing over both hurdles and fences since; best form on softer ground than what is likely.
5	Cloonainra A Harvey / J C McConnell	6yrs / 11st 11lb 422251 Spotlight	119	16/1	28.60	2.60
Cloonainra Didn't need to improve to land a novice hurdle from the front at Kelso earlier this month; generally consistent and unexposed stepping back up in distance; workable handicap mark and one to consider.
6	Cobra Queen S D Greene / H De Bromhead	6yrs / 11st 11lb F12140 Spotlight	120	33/1	187.10	12.80
Cobra Queen Two good ground wins last summer; beaten a long way out on last month's return and needs a clear career best to defy this mark in a competitive contest.
7	Ira Hayes D A Kidd / J C McConnell	6yrs / 11st 11lb -61136 Spotlight	127	33/1	91.60	20.10
Ira Hayes Followed up a Wexford bumper win in October with a maiden hurdle success at Carlisle a few weeks later; well held in two novice hurdles since with 3m possibly too far latest; interesting on handicap debut with first-time tongue-tie.
8	Mister Beeton C M Quirke / S Nolan	8yrs / 11st 11lb 2F3034 Spotlight	121	80/1	138.10	49.90
Mister Beeton Losing run since a course success over further in 2023; below his best in a beginners' when last seen and may ideally need further than this; off 169 days.
9	Smooth Scotch L Quinlan / S R B Crawford	8yrs / 11st 11lb F-5323 Spotlight	128	18/1	19.80	1.50
Smooth Scotch Was still involved when falling in this race last year on the back of a lengthy absence; 0-9 but he's consistent sort and wasn't beaten far in a maiden hurdle at Navan before a 14l defeat when third of 16 at Fairyhouse earlier this month; not much went right for him the last day and one to consider back in handicap company.
10	Hands On P F Kavanagh / E Bolger	5yrs / 11st 10lb 410-0 Spotlight	103	80/1	241.60	42.30
Hands On Maiden hurdle winner in October 2023 but well held twice since and he's been off 292 days; not obviously well treated from this sort of mark.
11	Kap Vert C Pritchard / P Hobbs & J White	5yrs / 11st 10lb 251336 Spotlight	125	9/1	18.00	1.50
Kap Vert Novice hurdle winner at Exeter before Christmas and fairly consistent in three runs since; would have finished closer without a late mistake in a warm race at Wetherby last month and warrants respect having just his sixth hurdle start.
12	Hamsiyann J Smith / A J Martin	5yrs / 11st 9lb 23-190 Spotlight	123	5/1	2.90	1.10
Hamsiyann Looked progressive last year culminating in a handicap hurdle success at Cheltenham's November meeting; questions to answer now though having shown very little twice since; step back up in trip should help at least.
13	Ballysax Hank C Stone-Walsh / G P Cromwell	6yrs / 11st 8lb 28PU15 Spotlight	122	8/1	3.80	22.90
Ballysax Hank Career best when landing a beginners' at Downpatrick last month; too keen at Fairyhouse last week but looks well treated from his reduced hurdle mark back in handicap company and has to be high on the shortlist.
14	Birmingham Alabama H E Sexton / E D Delany	6yrs / 11st 8lb 131714 Spotlight	124	12/1	15.40	16.60
Birmingham Alabama Point winner who got off the mark under rules with a maiden hurdle success at Wexford last summer; has continued to progress in handicaps, winning over C&D in October and bounced back from a lesser run back at this venue to land a 3m Leopardstown handicap hurdle last month; beaten favourite in a Wexford novice hurdle since but she's the type to bounce straight back.
15	Nouvotic E M O'Sullivan / H De Bromhead	6yrs / 11st 8lb /62-41 Spotlight	126	28/1	56.30	5.10
Nouvotic Showed ability in maiden hurdles last season and took his form to a new level when landing a Wexford maiden hurdle last summer; that form worked out okay and it's interesting that he's the pick of Blackmore; off 291 days.
16	Thanksforthehelp G Brouder / D Pipe	8yrs / 11st 8lb 0-6443 Spotlight	127	12/1	36.50	3.60
Thanksforthehelp Missed most of last season but signs he's on his way back in handicap hurdles either side of Christmas; however, his very best form is over further than this; off 102 days.
17	Doctor Churchill S O'Callaghan / P J Hayes	7yrs / 11st 6lb 84-173 Spotlight	123	40/1	444.30	49.90
Doctor Churchill Bolted up on yard debut on the back of an absence in January and bounced back from a lesser run when beaten roughly 2l at Fairyhouse earlier this month; both wins on heavy but versatile with regards to conditions and drop back in trip fine too.
18	Fairyland Opera J P Shinnick / L Fowler	6yrs / 11st 6lb 038221 Spotlight	126	17/2	12.20	2.00
Fairyland Opera Took a step forward when switched to handicaps earlier this season, hitting the crossbar at Naas and Navan before landing a maiden hurdle at Tramore by a wide margin 17 days ago; that wasn't a strong race but she's unexposed and clearly in form.
19	Howdoyalikeherhome J Coen / G Elliott	6yrs / 11st 6lb 22R541 Spotlight	121	28/1	0.00	0.00
Howdoyalikeherhome Best effort yet when winning a Down Royal novice handicap hurdle earlier this month; will need further progress to defy a 4lb higher mark in a deeper race but hasn't been with this trainer long and there could easily be more to come.
20	In For The Night C G O'Dwyer / D McDonogh	7yrs / 11st 6lb 1520P1 Spotlight	123	25/1	120.80
In For The Night Appreciated getting back on a sound surface when recording a career best at Naas earlier this month; 7lb higher and his Naas form hasn't been done any favours so may need another career best.
21	Giant Haystacks T P Harney / R O'Sullivan	6yrs / 11st 4lb 03421P Spotlight	122	18/1	125.30	11.90
Giant Haystacks Had been steadily improving, getting off the mark in a handicap hurdle at Leopardstown over Christmas but didn't jump well on heavy ground at Naas in January; return to a quicker surface may help and one to consider; off 115 days.
22	Showurappreciation Cian Cullinan / Jonathan Sweeney	7yrs / 11st 4lb 83/1-6 Spotlight	124	14/1	22.20	2.60
Showurappreciation Off the mark with maiden hurdle win at Ballinrobe two years ago; showed he retained ability when sixth in a beginners' last month, his only start since; interesting runner back over timber from workable mark.
23	Beyond Your Dreams A P Kelly / J P O'Brien	4yrs / 11st 3lb 2219 Spotlight	123	7/1	12.60	4.20
Beyond Your Dreams Hit the crossbar in two maiden hurdles before getting off the mark at Fairyhouse in December; beaten 10l in the Fred Winter since and her mark may be stiff enough for now.
24	Kimy Conor Clarke / T Mullins	5yrs / 11st 2lb 1P72P0 Spotlight	123	25/1	125.40	26.50
Kimy Back to form when runner-up (beaten 5l) at the Dublin Racing Festival but shown very little in two runs since; new trip now but she has a bit to prove.
25	Stay Gold L A McKenna / Colm Murphy	6yrs / 11st 2lb 764594 Spotlight	126	20/1	133.30
Stay Gold Best run yet when fourth in a heavy ground maiden hurdle here last time (reportedly coughed post race); his better runs have come on softer ground than this.
26	Polemon P K Donovan / D Hogan	6yrs / 11st 2lb /36572 Spotlight	130	22/1	29.10	10.50
Polemon First reserve; beaten 10l when runner-up at Clonmel 13 days ago; step forward required on handicap debut.
27	The Nagger Reidy Reserve 2 / Stephen Gerard Carey	6yrs / 11st 2lb 12U523 Spotlight	125	14/1	0.00
The Nagger Reidy Second reserve; Listowel handicap hurdle winner on handicap debut and back to form lately; should go well if he gets in.
28	Mic Drop Reserve 3 / D M O'Brien	6yrs / 11st 1lb 194302 Spotlight	127	33/1	0.00
Mic Drop Third reserve; point/bumper winner; turned over when a short price for a maiden hurdle 18 days ago.
