Welcome along to the weekend preview. We've got George Gorman, Andy Newton, and Peter Michael to talk you through the best bets for the weekend's action. And we're going to dive straight into it. We're going to start an entry for the pretempts network handicap qualifier impostois is going to carry top weight but he's a brother to a three-mile novice hurdle winner for gordon elliott he's won three of five starts off a layoff of 60 days or more and he's placed in the other two he was second in the carl cup up five pounds but he could very well improve for the step up and trip if he's ready to go he might just outclass this field. JP Moines won this in 2020. He said three other horses make the frame
0:40.3	in the last 10 years.
0:41.1	I have a this field. J.P. McManus won this in 2020. He said three other horses make the
0:40.1	frame in the last 10 years. I have a funny feeling he's going to win, George Gorman. He's a pretty
0:43.2	decent price of at one expect in Ireland to do so. Who are you with? Yeah, for me, you've got a few
0:48.3	of these that sort of chases, sort of having another stab at hurdles. I think going up four pounds, beating the real whacker over hurdles at Perth.
0:55.8	It's probably a little bit steep for chasing fire,
0:58.0	given that was a confirmed chaser at this point.
1:02.3	Kintara is actually off the same mark as when finishing second in the final for this race in 2024,
1:08.1	which, again, will make him of interest if you had any idea how he was going to go now
1:12.6	reverting to hurdling a year and a half later. I've just sort of ended up on the horse I think
1:18.2	is the most solid and the most progressive in here, which is the Lord Made. Only six runs over
1:23.7	hurdles so far for the mayor and has shown very obvious improvements stepped up to this
1:28.9	sort of trip the last twice like you're i think bar you know two highest rprs have been when
1:34.6	tackling two mile seven and a half at chepstow two starts ago beating the length of the quarter
1:38.4	and last time when winning at air um in april uh winning by two lengths over three mile and half a furlong. Tom Lacey's not in
1:48.3	bad form either, I think 15% strike rate over the last two weeks and 62% runners to form.
1:55.1	I just think there's a lot of older horse in here. We sort of don't really know how they're
2:00.6	going to turn out first time out
2:02.3	this horse is younger should be ready to go yards firing and maybe not on recent runnings but
2:09.7	they might just be looking to pick up a few extra pounds to guarantee a place in the
2:13.5	pretence with the lord maid okay lord maid is a nine to two shot currently, imposed to a 8 to 1. Andy Newton, who are you with? Yeah, I agree with Georgia about chasing fire. I think that's probably just a little bit flattered with that real whack-or-run last time out. That didn't exactly advertise it in the Charlie Hall last time, did it? That kintara is probably just worth mention, only because the strike rate of Mel Roley over hurdles at entry is pretty insane. It's something like 43% strike rate. But, yeah, this is the only course and distance when in the race, but it is on a bit of a recovery mission hasn't really, you know, done anything since I think 2023 at last one won a race and that
