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

Well supported on debut at Navan before finishing third, ARDAD NED can open his account at the second attempt. Short of room over two furlongs out, the Noel Meade-trained colt ran on well inside the final furlong to be beaten less than a length. With Colin Keane retaining the ride, the son of Ardad looks to have every chance of a breakthrough success. The Joseph O'Brien-trained Acclamatic has shaped well enough in three runs to suggest he can win his maiden. Runner-up in first-time cheekpieces at Tipperary last time, that headgear is retained here. The Shandyman should be all the better for his recent introduction at Naas.

Once in the clear, ARDAD NED 9nap) ran on well to take third at Navan and can score here with normal improvement

Third over course and distance last month, STARRED has leading claims of registering an initial success. Beaten a length in that aforementioned race, the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt showed huge improvement from his debut effort. Granted another step forward on this latest appearance, the son of Starspangledbanner has to be the one to beat. Having also reached the frame last month, the Michael Grassick-trained Port Arthur looks a serious threat. Given that the Australia gelding was making his debut on that occasion, he could be open to a lot more improvement on this second start. Newcomer Silk Braid is one that should be noted in the betting market.

Joseph O'Brien's STARRED showed considerable improvement from her first C&D run to her second and looks capable of success here

Fourth over the minimum trip here last month, SARAHMAE will take some beating if staying the extra furlong. A three-timer winner over 5f, the Denis Hogan-trained filly has yet to fully convince that she has the stamina required for further. However, her breeding suggests that the daughter of Magna Grecia is worth another chance to prove that she stays. A beaten favourite over course and distance earlier this month, Jon Riggens is fitted with a first-time visor now. If that headgear has the desired effect, the gelding will be very competitive. Gerrit's Gem is weighted to reverse recent form with Unique Journey.

Cork specialist GERRIT'S GEM can now broaden his sphere of influence on the evidence of a C&D second behind Unique Journey

C&D winner MARY SHOELACES has plenty in her favour. Well drawn, just one off the stands rail, the Eddie and Patrick Harty-trained filly has the services of an in-form apprentice. A four-year-old daughter of U S Navy Flag, the selection ran well under Jessica O'Gorman when fourth here on her penultimate start. She is readily forgiven a below par run at Navan subsequently, as that track would have tested her stamina limitations. Nouvel Espoir is fairly handicapped at present. A winner off this mark last August, the gelding has been in decent form of late. Steel Magnolia is another with strong claims in a competitive affair.

An open race. The vote goes to NOUVEL ESPOIR, whose Navan second makes good reading.

The Johnny Murtagh-trained RETRACEMENT can register a first Irish success. A maiden winner for previous connections when trained in England, the four-year-old has shown definite promise since arriving in this country. With his two best runs to date coming over this course and distance, the son of Australia has bright prospects of making the breakthrough under Ben Coen. The lightly raced In My Teens takes a step up in class here but has to be respected. The Gavin Cromwell-trained Camelot filly could have scope for improvement off her current rating. Stablemate Fiver Friday is also worthy of consideration on her first start for Cromwell.

Just denied in a Roscommon conditions race last time when bumped by the winner, IN MY TEENS surely has more to offer.

Runner-up over 10 furlongs here last month, PORTNAHAPPLE can go one place better. Having stayed on strongly to take minor honours on that occasion, the son of Masar should appreciate stepping up in trip on this second career start. With an official rating of 80, the Jessica Harrington-trained Carthusian sets the standard. Fifth here on his most recent start, the Lope De Vega gelding should be good enough to break his maiden at some point. Kilcrea Rock is another that has shown enough to suggest that he is capable of winning races.

Beaten 3l over 1m2f at this course on debut, PORTNAHAPPLE was a neck in front of Appeared then and is bred to stay this trip.

FAR ECLIPSE is a lightly-raced three-year-old who has shown a bit of improvement lately. He was just behind Earthsong when fourth over this trip at Navan and was only beaten a length when filling the same position at Galway latest. He should have more to offer and gets a tentative vote. Grann's Boy must shoulder a 7lb penalty having gotten up close home to win over 2m at Thurles recently. He still looks well treated relative to his hurdles mark and will enjoy this stiffer track. Whats New blotted his copybook over hurdles last time but the form of his 1m4f win at Roscommon has been well advertised since and he has to enter calculations.

Plenty with chances but there could be more improvement to come from EARTHSONG on just her second handicap start

DAGODA can go well at a price in this big-field affair. A dual course winner in 2023, the Jenny Lynch-trained mare hasn't got her head in front since but has run well several times when returning to the Curragh, including when not beaten far over 6f in June. She has dropped to a dangerous mark and will enjoy an ease in the ground. Skippinandajumpin finished second to a progressive rival at Killarney recently. She's unexposed and should be competitive off a 3lb higher mark. Tofino won over 1m here in August and has been placed twice in three subsequent starts. Mogwli probably wants further these days, while Sonoma Sunset is a handicap debutant to note.

Having run well in handicaps over 6f and 8f, this trip might be optimum for SKIPPINANDAJUMPIN.

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.
