13:50 Curragh (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Impressive Dundalk maiden winner LADY IMAN should be hard to beat if able to replicate that form on grass. Well supported to make a winning debut, the daughter of Starman had clearly being showing plenty at home. The form of that race has been well advertised subsequently, with both the runner-up and third placed horse going on to land their respective maidens. Power Blue, who won the opening juvenile race of the season over course and distance, holds every chance. On collateral form, the Adrian Murray-trained colt has work to do with the selection but he is entitled to have improved from that initial run. True Love, a full-sister to a winning juvenile, has to be respected on her introduction.

After making such an impression when beating three subsequent winners on her Dundalk debut, it's hard to oppose LADY IMAN here

14:25 Curragh (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

The Paddy Twomey-trained CURRAWOOD should be progressive enough to cope with this rise in class. Placed in two maidens at this track last season, he opened his account at Dundalk towards the end of March. Back on grass last time, the son of Acclamation easily disposed of some smart previous winners to land a competitive contest at Cork. He certainly deserves to take his chance in Listed company here and holds every chance of completing the hat-trick. Third in the Gladness Stakes at this venue on his return, the Aidan O'Brien-trained Officer is entitled to have come on for that outing. Alakazi is also worthy of consideration.

Just the one Ballydoyle contender and a strong one in OFFICER (nap), whose Gladness Stakes third looks the best on offer

It could pay to take a chance on the Joseph O'Brien-trained handicap debutant BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR. Unlucky in running when sent off a warm favourite on her racecourse debut at Dundalk, the daughter of Wootton Bassett then finished runner-up to Powerful Lady on her next start. However, it is her latest run, when third behind a pair of fillies now rated in the 90s, that makes her of interest here off just 77. The aforementioned Powerful Lady has to have every chance of confirming that previous form but may not have as much scope for improvement. Course maiden winner Orchidaceae should find this easier than the Group 3 contest she contested at Leopardstown.

The vote goes to ORCHIDACEAE who shaped well when making her seasonal debut in a Group 3 race and can exploit an opening mark of 90

15:35 Curragh (Class 1) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

CHANTEZ was a smart juvenile last year and should be suited by this distance on her first start at three. By Wootton Bassett, her previous races have all been at Leopardstown and having readily won her maiden, she landed September's competitive Ingabelle Stakes. She has already beaten five of these rivals, with Garden Of Eden finishing second in the Ingabelle. She disappointed in two subsequent runs here but returned lame having lost a shoe last September and is entitled to have come forward for last month's reappearance. Cercene is another to bear in mind.

This looks a good starting point for CHANTEZ, who looked a high-class filly in the making when beating Garden Of Eden last autumn

LOS ANGELES returns following a fine three-year-old season. He disappointed on his final start last year but had otherwise performed to a consistently high level, with his Irish Derby success a particular highlight. 2023 Derby third White Birch won last year's renewal of this race prior to winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup. The race-fit Galen beat Jan Brueghel last month and, although the St Leger winner was reappearing over an inadequate distance, Joseph O'Brien's inmate still warrants plenty of respect.

Last year's Irish Derby winner LOS ANGELES has top-class form at 1m2f and is just prefered to the long-absent White Birch

SHOWHOUND ran well on his first start for new connections over C&D last month. A dual UK winner, he is ground-versatile and while raised 4lb following his recent runner-up effort, finished nicely clear of the third-placed El Bello, who reopposes. A reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. Nine-time winner Notforalongtime has been running consistently well and while well suited by this distance, has a wide draw in 23. Six-time winner Mullacash Buzz has a similar profile and continues in good form.

This looks very open. Tte safest choice is probably SHOWHOUND who is taken to confirm the form of his Irish debut with El Bello

10th	20 10th (20) (40/1 -100%) Big Baby Bull		40 40/1(-100%)																															(20) Big Baby Bull 40/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off 57 over 7f at Dundalk last time out in December; returning from a break; questionable whether 6f is a bit sharp Has regressed greatly in recent years and of limited appeal despite much reduced mark.
11th	7 11th (7) (16/1 +36%) Kwa Herini		16 16/1(+36%)																															(7) Kwa Herini 16/1, Back to form returned to turf last time when beaten 1 1/4l off 66 here; still unexposed and open to improvement; one to consider Fine turf debut last month over C&D when fourth; one to consider off same mark.

16th	28 16th (28) (125/1 -213%) Cooee Call		125 125/1(-213%)																															(28) Cooee Call 125/1, Appeared not to stay down the field in an auction race over 8f at Dundalk most recent run; tongue-tie first time; down in trip; plenty more needed Thrice-raced maiden of seemingly little account; 12lb wrong for handicap debut.
17th	12 17th (12) (33/1 +0%) Inishmot Prince		33 33/1(+0%)																															(12) Inishmot Prince 33/1, Below par beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Navan last time; had been running much better on the AW; back up in trip, which will not inconvenience Better AW performer, fair bit to find on recent Navan run.

19th	11 19th (11) (9/1 +36%) I Bid You Ajou		9 9/1(+36%)																															(11) I Bid You Ajou 9/1, Probably needed race beaten 4l off 64 over 7f here on reappearance; quite nicely weighted on best form of 2024, including good 2nd here in August Ran well for long way on comeback here last month; drops in trip on first venture over 6f.
20th	26 20th (26) (25/1 +0%) Livingston Range		25 25/1(+0%)																															(26) Livingston Range 25/1, Below par beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Bellewstown last time and generally out of form; up in trip; drawn on wing of large field; bit to find Long losing run, too fresh on last month's return; handicapper giving him every chance.

KWA HERINI ran well in a recent handicap and has an unexposed profile. Out of a Group 3-winning dam who has already bred five winners, the selection showed just mild promise at Dundalk last winter but ran a solid race over course-and-distance last month, with further progression possible. She's Smart ran well on soft ground at Navan recently and while she is also suited by a sound surface, her best form is at five furlongs. Martinelli has useful recent form and seems at his best on easy ground but it is at least interesting that he drops markedly to this distance.

Top-weight GORDON BENNETT gets another chance to race in this grade following a strong-finishing C&D third last month

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
