LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content,

Cape Cod left the form of his debut behind to make the frame over a mile at Punchestown latest and is likely to have plenty more in the locker. South Island could only manage sixth in first-time cheekpieces, which are discarded with today, at Tipperary last month, so it might pay to side with KALIR. Dermot Weld's youngster showed ability when third on his introduction at Leopardstown last month and with improvement forecast, he ought to go close.

Having produced a much-improved effort when a close third over 1m at Punchestown last time, CAPE COD(nap) can get off the mark today.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Spangled Sands has occupied the runner-up berth on both of his career starts and holds an obvious chance, but it is WHITE SAND BEACH that shades preference. Second to a useful type at Punchestown on debut recently, improvement looks likely and trainer Aidan O'Brien, who has won four of the previous five renewals, looks to have found her a suitable opportunity. Suspicious Mindz has been gelded since his fifth at Roscommon and is another bear in mind.

With improvement likely from her fine Punchestown second on debut, WHITE SAND BEACH should be difficult to beat today.

14:37 Curragh (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien's juveniles often improve markedly from run to run and, despite showing plenty of greenness in three career outings, AMELIA EARHART almost landed a strong maiden at Doncaster recently. She will need to step up on that form, but looks capable of doing so and it may be Kensington Lane who gives her most to think about following an impressive success at Gowran. Stepping back up in trip is likely to suit Alibah after a creditable third in Listed company at Fairyhouse, while Pivotal Attack drops in grade after contesting the Moyglare.

PIVOTAL ATTACK put a couple of these rivals to the sword at Galway and if she settles better than she did in the Moyglare, she can win

15:12 Curragh (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MY MATE ALFIE may not be in quite the same form as he was 12 months ago when landing this contest from Big Gossey, but last month's second over C&D is strong form and he can notch up a fourth course success. Art Power loves it at the Curragh too, with victories in the 2021 and 2022 renewals among four track triumphs. He is likely to be thereabouts, as is fellow British raider Crestofdistinction, who steps up in grade after a narrow defeat in Listed company at York. Completing the shortlist are Ides Of March, Spycatcher and Vespertilio.

The forecast rain is a plus for a few of these, including last year's winner MY MATE ALFIE, and he may be able to defend his crown

ECHO OF FAITH showed the benefit of his first two starts when landing a maiden at Roscommon and can continue to pay his way now he steps into nursery company. An opening mark of 83 could be lenient given the son of Lucky Vega appeared to win with plenty in reserve. Sovereign Thought was a surprise winner at Down Royal, but he did it well enough to command respect as an improver. Which Wolf Wins and Venetian Star complete the shortlist.

VENETIAN STAR finished off nicely behind Sovereign Thought at Down Royal and a 6lb swing may enable him to turn the tables

HAPPY PHAROAH survived a stewards' enquiry to land a premier handicap at Leopardstown recently and those battling qualities ought to serve him well in a race of this nature. He must now shoulder a 7lb penalty but it looks manageable given his progressive profile, and whilst this longer trip will place a further emphasis on stamina, it would come as no surprise were he to find the necessary improvement. Filey Bay, Ascending and Nurburgring each make considerable appeal, while Shoda and fellow last-time-out winner Tounsivator arrive with each-way credentials.

COMFORT ZONE is interesting based on his Ascot Stakes third behind Nurburgring and Ascending and might represent a bit of value

Having posted a series of creditable efforts in defeat this season, WASHINGTON STREET can finally get his head in front. Ger Lyons' charge was narrowly denied in a handicap at Gowran latest but returning to a maiden, coupled with a drop in trip, might be just what he needs. Lunigiana boasts some decent two-year-old form as a juvenile and market support would be noteworthy ahead of her return, while Glory To Be and Spodo Komodo are others to consider.

Though ratings say Washington Street should beat GLORY TO BE, the filly finished in front of him over C&D last time and can again

(8) Migdam 7/1, Improved from debut for a cosy success when landing a Tramore maiden hurdle over 2m1f by 5 1/2l last time. Effective 8-12f and may have more to offer over staying trips on the flat given recent hurdles win. Well handicapped on old UK form.
Hurdle winner last time; dropped in the handicap this year and should be competitive.

(1) No More Porter 20/1, Flattened out over a stretching trip and was comfortably held in a handicap at Clonmel last time. Effective at 7-8f on ground with cut but does not stay further. Not the force of old.

(18) Keilah 15/2, Ran to form when 11l third in a 2m1f maiden hurdle at Down Royal last time. Needs to prove stamina for further than 10f on the flat. Effective 9-10f, sound surface suits. In good form in both codes.
Decent efforts in defeat this term; third in a maiden hurdle last time; should be involved.

(7) Wertpol 5/1, Ran to form but just outstayed late when beaten 1 1/2l off 69 over 1m6f at Navan last time. Best at 10f but just about gets 14f. Has been well backed on last four outings and is on a fair mark.
Second in a Navan handicap over 1m6f last time; raised 2lb but should be competitive again.

(17) Bucaneer's Spirit 50/1, Ground may have been too testing when down the field in a 9f handicap at Gowran Park last time. Effective 8-10f and worth stepping back up in trip. Inconsistent of late.
Has been hit and miss for this yard but can be forgiven a poor run on heavy last time.

(16) Brewel Hill 22/1, Made too much use of but hinted at return to form when 11l third in a Ballinrobe handicap most recently. Off a short break. Effective 8-10f and acts on any ground. Fair mark if building on recent revival.
Soundly beaten in three runs over the summer but can do better now from a falling mark.
LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

Having shared the spoils when dead-heating at Galway in July, Castleheath must enter calculations off a 1lb higher mark. However, Ciaran Murphy's inmate will need to put a below-par fifth over hurdles at Ballinrobe behind him and WERTPOL looks open to more improvement. The three-year-old found only a progressive rival too strong at Navan 31 days ago and a 2lb rise in the ratings looks workable. Last-time-out winner Rain, Tilani and Gotta Catch'em All are just a few others to consider.

GOTTA CATCH'EM ALL is a tentative selection. Though he is a maiden has run well several times including over C&D.

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.
