13:35 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse with the best chance of doing well is 7/1 (4) BALTIC BIRD. The horse has a good flat form and has posted a promising fourth in a maiden hurdle at Down Royal last month, with the form being franked. The horse is deemed interesting and has the potential to build on the debut effort.

TOP SPEED wasn't able to justify strong support when fourth at Clonmel, but it still went down as an improved effort and a similar bid may suffice. Sign From Above was perhaps a little disappointing when weakening into sixth at Fairyhouse, but he has the form to go close and isn't taken lightly. Baltic Bird posted an encouraging fourth on his hurdling bow over C&D in March and is another who merits consideration, along with The Mediator.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and BALTIC BIRD, a useful Flat winner for the Gosdens, is fancied to build on his promising hurdles debut fourth at Down Royal (form has been franked) and open his account in this sphere. The Mediator returns from a lay-off but is still feared most from the in-form Gordon Elliott yard with Top Speed and Sign From Above both with the form to have a say too.

Not too much strength in depth here so worth giving another chance to SIGN FROM ABOVE, a winner here on the Flat

14:10 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that have a higher chance of doing well are 3.5/1 (5) HERCULANEUM, Warm in Gorey, 5.5/1 (6) I DON'T GET IT, and 14/1 (16) PERFECT ARCH. They have recent wins or strong performances in handicap hurdles and have shown they can handle the ground conditions. The other horses either lack recent form or have not shown enough potential to be considered major players.

Herculaneum went about the task in good style when scoring at Naas in March and has to be considered as a big player in this company. However, a 6lb higher mark makes for a stiffer test and I DON'T GET IT, who made all to win at Downpatrick last time, could represent better value. He did well under the circumstances of that race (hung left throughout) and offers strong appeal off 6lb higher. Warm In Gorey and Perfect Arch complete the shortlist.

WARM IN GOREY has a good chance of reversing last month's Downpatrick placings with I Don't Get It and he could be the answer. The latter should give another good account and is second choice ahead of Princess Sophia, who returns to action with a first-time hood enlisted and will be a threat if on-song. Herculaneum and Perfect Arch are others to consider.

Not too many appeal and it could pay to side with recent Naas winner HERCULANEUM, who handles this better ground well

14:45 Down Royal Conditions Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the information given, 2.5/1 (4) PAUL MARVEL seems to be the most promising contender as they have consistently placed in past races and have shown improvement over time. 3/1 (3) LIEUTENANT HIGHWAY and 4.5/1 (1) HOLMES ST GEORGES also have potential, but 3/1 (3) LIEUTENANT HIGHWAY has been off for six months and 4.5/1 (1) HOLMES ST GEORGES faces stiff competition on ratings. The other horses, 2.25/1 (2) JOYEUX MACHIN, 7.5/1 (5) BELLA BLISS, 66/1 (7) COCOPLUM, 100/1 (6) WEE JERRY, and 100/1 (8) SOCIAL DISTANCING, are not expected to perform well. However, as with any horse race, there is always a chance for surprises and unexpected outcomes.

Paul Marvel is open to further improvement after only two starts and is hard to rule out for the Willie Mullins team, but HOLMES ST GEORGES brings consistency to the table after another second at Newcastle last month and he gets on well with jockey Ben Bromley, who claims 7lb. If he stays the three miles, he can come out on top, although if Lieutenant Highway settles, he could be a danger to them all.

Willie Mullins' Limerick scorer PAUL MARVEL looks to have more to offer so is taken to resume winning ways at the chief expense of Holmes St Georges, who comes here on the back of a very good Newcastle second. In-form Bella Bliss appeals as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

Maybe PAUL MARVEL can take a step forward over this trip; Holmes St George is consistent and likely won't be far away

15:20 Down Royal Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1.38/1 (9) THE FRIDAY MAN seems like the strongest contender as it has won 5 out of 8 runs last season and won a novice hurdle at Cheltenham recently, making its chase debut. 3.5/1 (2) DREAL DEAL and 12/1 (6) POUR PAVORE also have potential and could be considered as strong contenders.

THE FRIDAY MAN confirmed his well-being when scoring over hurdles at Cheltenham last month, on his return from a 178-day break, and that form gives him a big chance on his chasing debut. Heather Rocco looked to have a bright future when winning over timber at Limerick a couple of years ago and he cannot be discounted on his return to action. Dreal Deal is a talented performer and his most recent effort at Tipperary was encouraging.

If THE FRIDAY MAN takes to fences at the first attempt, he will prove a tough nut to crack. The 6-y-o has won four of his half-a-dozen starts over hurdles, including on his recent return from a break at Cheltenham, and he appears to be pretty versatile ground-wise. Dreal Deal acquitted himself pretty well back in this sphere at Tipperary and he should make his presence felt, while Heather Rocco will also have a part to play if all is well following a lengthy absence.

After a fourth hurdles win on his comeback last month, THE FRIDAY MAN (nap) could well take plenty of beating on chase debut

15:55 Down Royal Handicap Chase 26f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 3/1 (1) WHACKER CLAN and 6.5/1 (6) GALON DE VAUZELLE seem to have the strongest claims. 3/1 (1) WHACKER CLAN has a good record when fresh and was in front when unfortunate to fall in his last race, while 6.5/1 (6) GALON DE VAUZELLE has been consistent and finished second in a valuable novice handicap in his last outing. 20/1 (5) HOKE COLBURN also has decent form and could be shortlisted as well. The rest of the horses seem to have limitations or need to improve to compete at this level.

A chance can be taken on WHACKER CLAN, who fell at the second-last when going well at Fairyhouse. He has been raised 1lb, but he seems to have been sparked by the application of cheekpieces and can resume his upward curve on his return. Galon De Vauzelle has hit the crossbar on each of his last three outings and while he has been put up a total of 6lb for those efforts, is likely to be thereabouts once more. Another to note is The Abbey.

There should be more to come from WHACKER CLAN over fences and he is taken to make a winning return to action. Hoke Colburn and Galon de Vauzelle head the list of dangers.

It's possible that YEAH MAN will be a different proposition in this sphere now that he gets better ground

16:30 Down Royal Conditions Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well. However, 9/1 (5) SIFAKA and 4.5/1 (10) TRUE OR FALSE seem to be the most promising based on their recent performances and previous success in points and hunter chases. The other horses either have limited experience or have not shown consistent form in this sphere.

With plenty of decent point-to-point form on show, we can expect decent efforts from the likes of The Sad Shepherd, Ta Se Rua and perhaps the consistent Ballydesmond, but this may fall to either True Or False, a good second at Cork last month, or SIZING DIAMOND. The eight-year-old was a gallant fourth at Tramore last month, beaten less than seven lengths despite being badly hampered by a faller two fences from home.

TRUE OR FALSE acquitted herself well on chase debut at Cork last month and gets the nod. Sizing Diamond looks the likeliest danger on form, whilst Focus Point may be the pick of the newcomers to this discipline.

This may not take much winning and triple points' scorer FOCUS POINT is taken to make a winning debut under Rules

17:05 Down Royal NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.75/1 (10) TOMMIES CALL seems to be the strongest contender, having offered plenty to work on in a valuable sales contest at Fairyhouse and setting the standard on that form. Other potential contenders include 3/1 (13) YEATS STAR, who showed promise in their debut race and is worth monitoring in the betting market, and 18/1 (9) SMOKEY PUTNUM, who matched their best form in a recent race and can make an impact again. 66/1 (12) WINNING SMUT also indicated some ability in their last race and could surprise as a dark horse.

Ossie's Lodge placed third on his first appearance in this sphere in a Listed affair at Limerick in March and is sure to prove popular. Preference, however, is for TOMMIES CALL, who finished a fine third in a valuable bumper on his racecourse debut at Fairyhouse, and that form looks a tad stronger. Yeats Star caught the eye when running on into fourth over timber at Cork and he completes the shortlist.

This can go to TOMMIES CALL, who ran a cracker in a competitive bumper at Fairyhouse on debut last month and should have learnt plenty from that. Ossie's Lodge and Smokey Putnum rate the principal dangers.

Quite competitive but TOMMIES CALL is the selection after an encouraging start in a valuable sales contest at Fairyhouse

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.
