16:50 Down Royal Maiden 5f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (1.25/1 +44%) Gunzburg	1.25 1.25/1(+44%)	(8) Gunzburg 1.25/1, Promising sort. 11/4, fourth of 9 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 26 days ago. May well do better. Ran a fine race over 6f on debut but faded late on; the drop back to this trip should suit.
2	4 2nd (4) (8/1 +11%) G'day Mate	8 8/1(+11%)	(4) G'day Mate 8/1, Foaled February 27. 35,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey colt. Dam sprint maiden half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 6f Your Pal Tal. One to note on debut. Stable having good spell. By a leading young sire and has respected connections, so should run well.
3	3 3rd (3) (25/1 -108%) Clonmacash	25 25/1(-108%)	(3) Clonmacash 25/1, Once-raced colt. Last of 5 in minor event at Naas (5f, good to firm, 66/1) on debut 33 days ago. Beaten 11l by Coventry Stakes winner River Tiber at Naas on debut; a fair bit to find.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 -33%) Carnegie Hall	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Carnegie Hall 4/1, Promising sort. Fourth of 9 in maiden at Naas (5f, good, 5/2) on debut 48 days ago, slowly away. Stable in good form. Folly to ignore on pick of form. Showed promise on debut at Naas behind a smart sort and should have improved from that.
5th	9 5th (9) (28/1 -12%) Seven Eleven	28 28/1(-12%)	(9) Seven Eleven 28/1, Once-raced filly. Twelfth of 15 in maiden at Cork (5f, good, 40/1) on debut 37 days ago. Beaten 6.25l over this trip on debut at Cork after racing keenly; has to improve.
6th	6 6th (6) (3.5/1 -17%) Sturlasson	3.5 3.5/1(-17%)	(6) Sturlasson 3.5/1, Twice-raced gelding. 11/4, second of 6 in maiden at Cork (5f, heavy) 76 days ago, no match for winner. The form of his maiden runs is strong, with the winners Group-placed since; go close.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/1 +61%) Charles Atlas	11 11/1(+61%)	(2) Charles Atlas 11/1, Once-raced gelding. 7/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on debut 90 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress. Has about 7l to find with Sturlasson on debut form; others preferred.
8th	7 8th (7) (20/1 -122%) Tarsus	20 20/1(-122%)	(7) Tarsus 20/1, Foaled March 4. Kuroshio colt. Dam, maiden (best at 5f), out of sister to useful winner up to 2m Duke of Venice. By a useful sire of sprinters but others are preferred today.
9th	5 9th (5) (100/1 -614%) Kayson Cian	100 100/1(-614%)	(5) Kayson Cian 100/1, Foaled February 4. €6,000 yearling, Soldier's Call colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 5f-6.5f winner Andhesontherun and 6f winner Prince of Bel Lir. Cost only 6,000euros as a yearling but by a leading first-crop sire; could run respectably.

LTO Selection:

After chasing home subsequent Coventry Stakes third Bucanero Fuerte at the Curragh, STURLASSON then found only Noche Magica too good at Cork, and that winner subsequently went agonisingly close in the Marble Hill. Kieran Cotter's juvenile can go one better on the assumption that he doesn't meet anything of that calibre here but, if he does, it could be 160,000-pounds breeze-up purchase Gunzburg, who faded into fourth over 6f on debut. Naas fourth Carnegie Hall rounds out the shortlist.

CARNEGIE HALL and Gunzburg showed promise on debut and might improve past dual runner-up Sturlasson, with the narrow preference for Aidan O'Brien's charge. G'day Mate is a newcomer to monitor in the betting.

The form of the two maidens in which STURLASSON finished runner-up has been boosted since by the winners and he should win.

16:50 Down Royal Maiden 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:25 Down Royal Handicap 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (8/1 +0%) So Majestic	8 8/1(+0%)	(10) So Majestic 8/1, 9/1, good length second of 10 to Autumnal Breeze in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good) 24 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Needs considering. Career best when benefiting from pace collapse latest; doesn't want to be slowly away here.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/1 -22%) Distillate	11 11/1(-22%)	(7) Distillate 11/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Below form eighth of 15 in handicap at Gowran (7f, good to soft, 16/1) 5 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. Sole win in 22 starts came on AW over 7f and unplaced in seven starts at this trip.
3	12 3rd (12) (14/1 +30%) Spirit Of Eagles	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Spirit Of Eagles 14/1, Tongue strap on for first time, creditable 3¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Autumnal Breeze in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good, 25/1) 24 days ago. Is 0-7; back to something like her best when 5th latest; needs to build on that here.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 +38%) Rathbranchurch	5 5/1(+38%)	(2) Rathbranchurch 5/1, 11/4, last of 7 in handicap at Listowel (7f, good) 19 days ago. Down in trip and likely to bounce back given profile. Improved to finish 2nd in 2 h'caps this term; however, last of 7 latest; 5f may not help.
5th	9 5th (9) (4.5/1 +10%) Havana Notion	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(9) Havana Notion 4.5/1, 7/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 7 days ago, finishing well. Player if coping with drop to 5f. 0-8 but back to something like his best with 1l defeat latest and 5f may help him settle.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 +25%) American In Paris	12 12/1(+25%)	(11) American In Paris 12/1, Below form twelfth of 19 in handicap (16/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Inconsistent. Appreciates quick ground; below form 12 days ago; probably needs quicker ground at 6f.
7th	14 7th (14) (8/1 +68%) My Girl Sioux	8 8/1(+68%)	(14) My Girl Sioux 8/1, Creditable seventh of 19 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft, 25/1) 12 days ago. RESERVE. Promise when switched to AW h'caps; 7th on return and may come on for that; reserve.
8th	3 8th (3) (16/1 -60%) Prove It	16 16/1(-60%)	(3) Prove It 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 6/1) 8 days ago. Significantly down in trip with blinkers fitted. Promise in first 2 runs; well below form in 2 runs since; blinkers may help speedily bred.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 -71%) Coco Hill	12 12/1(-71%)	(5) Coco Hill 12/1, 7/1, 1½ lengths third of 10 to Autumnal Breeze in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good) 24 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Didn't look an easy ride on that occasion but cheekpieces may help her. Won 6f h'caps in Britain last term and bounced back to form with a 3rd over 5f latest.
10th	8 10th (8) (6/1 +25%) Autumnal Breeze	6 6/1(+25%)	(8) Autumnal Breeze 6/1, Winner at Tipperary on reappearance in May. 13/2, respectable sixth of 19 in handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, never nearer. Not taken lightly. Big step forward from 2yo form when winning on return; not as good latest but fair mark.
11th	4 11th (4) (33/1 -65%) Las Cuatro	33 33/1(-65%)	(4) Las Cuatro 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Back down in trip. Plenty to find on form. Well below form on h'cap debut earlier this month but had shown ability previously.
12th	6 12th (6) (5/1 +0%) Sneddy Eddie	5 5/1(+0%)	(6) Sneddy Eddie 5/1, Big career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Sligo (5.8f, good to soft) 38 days ago, always holding on. Unexposed as a sprinter. Marked improvement for drop to 6f latest with 1l success; 5lb higher mark fine; drops to 5.

LTO Selection:

First-time cheekpieces could be what COCO HILL needs to build on a pleasing third over this trip at Tipperary last month and she rates the one to beat. She is now rated 4lb lower than for the aforementioned contest and, with more improvement likely, is taken to get the better of the equally-progressive Sneddy Eddie. So Majestic is another with claims in an intriguing handicap.

SNEDDY EDDIE looked reinvented as a sprinter when successful at Sligo last month and his revised mark may well be within reach. So Majestic and Coco Hill are just a couple of potential threats.

It was a promising return to form from COCO HILL and if she improves for cheekpieces, she could be hard to beat

17:25 Down Royal Handicap 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:00 Down Royal Handicap 5f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (3.33/1 +33%) Dun Na Sead	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(2) Dun Na Sead 3.33/1, Latest win at Dundalk in February. Creditable third of 15 in handicap (8/1) at Tipperary (5f, good) 24 days ago. Merits respect. Useful when allowed to dominate; ran well for a long way last month; back on good mark.
2	7 2nd (7) (16/1 +68%) Tamazu	16 16/1(+68%)	(7) Tamazu 16/1, 200/1, last of 5 in minor event at Dundalk (5f). Off 8 months. Hard to make a case for. Won on return last year and looks well treated if ready to go again this time.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +22%) Arnhem	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Arnhem 7/1, First run since leaving Miss Natalia Lupini when creditable second of 9 in handicap at Navan (5f, good, 17/2), slowly away. Off 13 months. First run for yard after leaving Jack W. Davison. Claims if he's fully tuned up. Beaten a neck on sole 2022 start but tough ask on back of absence, despite good mark.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -100%) Hallowed Time	14 14/1(-100%)	(3) Hallowed Time 14/1, 6/1, last of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago, lost all chance at start. Cheekpieces back on and he might well return to form. Big run when 2nd last month but has starting issues, as seen when last latest.
5th	11 5th (11) (66/1 -100%) Astral Beat	66 66/1(-100%)	(11) Astral Beat 66/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving William Knight when twentieth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good, 66/1) 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Easy to look elsewhere. Won on AW in Britain; only beat 1 home in 21-runner h'cap last month; blinkers on.
6th	8 6th (8) (8/1 +68%) Livingston Range	8 8/1(+68%)	(8) Livingston Range 8/1, Latest win at Dundalk in December. Last of 20 in handicap at Navan (5.8f, heavy, 16/1) 62 days ago. Something to prove. Not far off his best on AW in December but very low-key return and off another 2 months.
7th	1 7th (1) (4.5/1 -125%) Collective Power	4.5 4.5/1(-125%)	(1) Collective Power 4.5/1, C&D winner. Career best when winning 19-runner handicap (6/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago, driven out. Solid claims. C&D winner; back to his best with Navan win 12 days ago; needs career best.
8th	6 8th (6) (5.5/1 +50%) Nordic Passage	5.5 5.5/1(+50%)	(6) Nordic Passage 5.5/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, bit below form twelfth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Tongue strap back on. Losing run since 2020; well below best in 2 runs this term; h'cap mark tumbling down.
9th	5 9th (5) (10/1 -54%) Adnaan	10 10/1(-54%)	(5) Adnaan 10/1, Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Naas (5.9f, heavy) 89 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Should be back on his game with a run under his belt. Shaped like needing the run when 5th on return; subsequent 3-month absence slight concern.
10th	12 10th (12) (9/1 +44%) Soi Dao	9 9/1(+44%)	(12) Soi Dao 9/1, 14/1, respectable seventh of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, good) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Not discounted. Sole win came on soft; not quite shown her old spark for this yard; best form at 6f.
11th	9 11th (9) (16/1 +36%) Anatoli	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Anatoli 16/1, 10/1 and eyeshields on for 1st time, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Limerick (6.7f, good to soft) 9 days ago, lost all chance at start. Back down in trip. Won a Dundalk maiden on debut in 2021 but hasn't won since and badly out of form this term.
12th	10 12th (10) (14/1 +13%) Ever Rock	14 14/1(+13%)	(10) Ever Rock 14/1, C&D winner. 6 lengths fourteenth of 19 to Collective Power in handicap (14/1) at Navan (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Others make more appeal. C&D winner; may have needed both runs this term and back below last winning mark.

LTO Selection:

COLLECTIVE POWER took a step forward when winning a competitive heat at Navan 12 days ago and the gelded son of Slade Power can mount another bold bid from a 7lb raised mark. He gets the nod over Dun Na Sead, who was eased 3lb in the ratings having finished a good third at Tipperary last month. Adnaan should be competitive, while previous C&D winner Ever Rock can't be left out of calculations either.

ADNAAN was shaping well towards the end of last year and he made a respectable reappearance at Naas 89 days ago, so he could get back to winning ways if the race is run to suit. Dun Na Sead and Collective Power look the main dangers.

She's not been at her best in 2 runs this term but EVER ROCK has won over C&D and she will appreciate any rain that arrives

18:00 Down Royal Handicap 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:35 Down Royal Handicap 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (6/1 +33%) Curraheen Princess	6 6/1(+33%)	(6) Curraheen Princess 6/1, Six wins from 23 Flat runs. 7/1, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Well treated if she can build on latest effort. Runner-up in this last year; is 6lb below her last winning mark so has to be feared.
2	9 2nd (9) (4.5/1 +44%) Greek Flower	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(9) Greek Flower 4.5/1, Tenth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good to soft, 22/1) 28 days ago. Others make more appeal. Well beaten when 10lb out of the handicap last time but races off her proper mark today.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/1 +29%) Loveday	5 5/1(+29%)	(2) Loveday 5/1, 12/1, below form ninth of 16 in handicap at Navan (5f, soft) 41 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Should strip fitter for that and the handicapper has given her a big chance. Soundly beaten on return at Navan but has been dropped 4lb since; is capable of a big run.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 -20%) Maria Branwell	3 3/1(-20%)	(1) Maria Branwell 3/1, Very good second of 9 in handicap (9/2) at the Curragh (5f, good) 16 days ago. On the upgrade recently and seems likely to play a part once more. Just touched off in a 5f premier handicap at the Curragh; same mark today and go well.
5th	4 5th (4) (4.5/1 +18%) Escaping Thejungle	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(4) Escaping Thejungle 4.5/1, Very good second of 10 in handicap at Cork (5f, good, 9/2) 37 days ago. Still not fully exposed and merits plenty of respect. Just denied at Cork; 2lb lower today and go well but can't afford to hang on this track.
6th	3 6th (3) (4.5/1 -29%) Screen Siren	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(3) Screen Siren 4.5/1, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Navan (5f, good to soft, 4/1) 12 days ago. Needs to do more if she's to follow up. Faces a much tougher task off a 10lb higher mark for Navan win but is in good form.
7th	8 7th (8) (40/1 -21%) Excesso Velocidad	40 40/1(-21%)	(8) Excesso Velocidad 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Tipperary (5f, good, 33/1) 24 days ago. Others preferred. Won a 6f Dundalk maiden on debut last November but hasn't matched that form since.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 -38%) Freedom Falls	22 22/1(-38%)	(7) Freedom Falls 22/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 12 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 14/1) 7 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere. Saddle slipped last week; should cope with the drop in trip as she has early speed.

LTO Selection:

Screen Siren could be popular with the punters after scoring with plenty in hand at Navan, but a 10lb rise tempers enthusiasm and MARIA BRANWELL is preferred after a near-miss off the same rating at the Curragh. A Listed winner for David O'Meara in the UK as a juvenile, she looks primed to record her first success for Joseph O'Brien and has conditions to suit. Escaping Thejungle has filled the runner-up berth on her last three starts and should give another good account of herself.

LOVEDAY left the impression she'd come on for her reappearance at Navan and she's on an appealing mark, so she gets the nod ahead of Maria Brawn, who arrives on the back of an excellent second at the Curragh. Escaping Thejungle is another one to consider.

Having been runner-up in this race last year off a 1lb higher mark, CURRAHEEN PRINCESS can go one better today.

19:10 Down Royal Listed 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (12/1 +52%) Agenda	12 12/1(+52%)	(3) Agenda 12/1, Fairly useful mare. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 11/1, won 14-runner handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Plenty to find on form. Leopardstown winner; new mark of 73 leaves her with plenty to find against most of these.
1	6 1st (6) (4/1 +50%) Powerful Aggie	4 4/1(+50%)	(6) Powerful Aggie 4/1, Useful mare. Well-beaten last of 5 to Emily Dickinson in listed race (16/1) at Navan (14f, heavy) 62 days ago. Stable in good form. Well below her best on return in April and has to rebound; handles good ground; stays 2m.
2	1 2nd (1) (0.91/1 +48%) Taipan	0.91 0.91/1(+48%)	(1) Taipan 0.91/1, Useful gelding. 8/11, didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner minor event at Listowel (13f, good) 19 days ago, easily. Back up in trip. Yard having good spell. Should go well. Confidence restored after wins in conditions events at Killarney and Listowel recently.
3	4 3rd (4) (22/1 -10%) La Hacienda	22 22/1(-10%)	(4) La Hacienda 22/1, Fairly useful mare. Creditable eighth of 14 in handicap (50/1) at Dundalk (12f). Off 7 months. Significantly back up in trip. Ended last season on a low note and and has a bit to find on seasonal debut.
4	2 4th (2) (12/1 -380%) Wordsworth	12 12/1(-380%)	(2) Wordsworth 12/1, Smart horse. 13¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Trueshan in Long Distance Cup at Ascot (16f, good to soft, 33/1). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Aidan O'Brien. Won on reappearance in 2021 and 2022. Group 1-placed at 3; big player if he can recover best form on debut for this yard.
5th	5 5th (5) (6.5/1 +35%) Mellow Magic	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(5) Mellow Magic 6.5/1, Fairly useful mare. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Gowran in April. 17/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at the Curragh (14f, good) 16 days ago. Stable having good spell. Beaten only 2l in a Curragh handicap last time but will have to step up on that form today.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 +64%) Sea Oscar	18 18/1(+64%)	(7) Sea Oscar 18/1, Fair mare. 5/1, won 14-runner handicap at Leopardstown (15f, good) 8 days ago, driven out. Stable in good form. Uphill task. While this trip will suit Leopardstown winner she has a lot to find with these rivals.

LTO Selection:

Wordsworth is a fascinating contender on his first start for Josh Halley because he wasn't far off the best three-year-olds in 2021. He did prove a bit costly to follow last season and left Ballydoyle for 43,000gns so perhaps TAIPAN is a safer option, with Jessica Harrington's charge arriving on a high after capitalising on some excellent placing by his connections recently. White Caviar had Mellow Magic in arrears when third in the Vintage Tipple Stakes, although that form was reversed at the Curragh subsequently.

TAIPAN should have had his confidence boosted by wins at a lower level in recent weeks and can complete a hat-trick now stepping back up in class. Wordsworth had a good record when fresh for Aidan O'Brien and will be a danger if reproducing anything like his best form on his return for a new stable. White Caviar just wasn't herself last time and her overall record suggests she can bounce back here and also play a prominent role.

POWERFUL AGGIE is coming off a poor run but with rain in the forecast conditions can suit her, so is the selection.

19:45 Down Royal Maiden 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (25/1 -56%) Lia Fail	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Lia Fail 25/1, Thrice-raced filly. 14/1, last of 7 in maiden at Listowel (6.3f, good) 19 days ago. Shown ability in a trio of maidens but probably one for handicaps at this point.
2	9 2nd (9) (8.5/1 +61%) Harry The Rogue	8.5 8.5/1(+61%)	(9) Harry The Rogue 8.5/1, 18/1, fifth of 14 in maiden at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) on debut 20 days ago, having to pick way through. Likely to improve. Beaten 11l when 18-1 for his debut at Listowel earlier this month; nice pedigree; improver.
3	3 3rd (3) (3/1 +70%) State's Evidence	3 3/1(+70%)	(3) State's Evidence 3/1, Foaled April 15. Expert Eye colt. Closely related to useful winner up to 1m Angel Palm and half-brother to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Partitia and 11f/1½m winner Palmetto Bay. Wears tongue strap. Appealing pedigree for major yard. Expert Eye colt; related to winners at this sort of trip and market support worth noting.
4	6 4th (6) (66/1 +18%) Vangelis	66 66/1(+18%)	(6) Vangelis 66/1, Once-raced gelding. 40/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, soft) on debut 41 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to need more time. Tailed off when 40-1 for his debut and best watched from a wide draw this time.
5th	13 5th (13) (3.33/1 -233%) Blame Thechampagne	3.33 3.33/1(-233%)	(13) Blame Thechampagne 3.33/1, Lightly-raced filly. 5/2, below form sixth of 14 in maiden at Listowel (6.3f, good to soft) 20 days ago, worst of draw. Stable having good spell. Worth another chance. Creditable 3l defeat in Gr 3 on penultimate start; beaten fav since but gets weight here.
6th	12 6th (12) (50/1 -100%) Tartaraghan	50 50/1(-100%)	(12) Tartaraghan 50/1, Foaled February 10. €10,000 yearling, Kessaar filly. Half-sister to winner up to 9f Bogota Gold.

Dam, 7f winner, sister to useful winner up to 1m Bletchley out of useful 2-y-o 5f winner An Ghalanta. Land Force filly; dam 7f winner; interesting newcomer with 2yo winners in her pedigree.
10th	8 10th (8) (33/1 +34%) Begleys Forge	33 33/1(+34%)	(8) Begleys Forge 33/1, Foaled May 6. Tagula gelding. Half-brother to winners abroad by Strategic Prince and by Elusive Pimpernel. Dam unraced. Yard have a good strike-rate with their 2yos; widest draw far from ideal though.
11th	14 11th (14) (9/1 +55%) Victor's Choice	9 9/1(+55%)	(14) Victor's Choice 9/1, Foaled February 26. €4,000 yearling, The Last Lion filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1m La Frisla. Dam maiden half-sister to smart 6f-9f winner Wade Giles. The Last Lion filly; 4,000euros yearling; suitable trip but likely best watched on debut.
12th	1 12th (1) (18/1 -29%) Glengarriff	18 18/1(-29%)	(1) Glengarriff 18/1, Twice-raced colt. 66/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) 16 days ago. One for handicaps. Showed little on debut but better over this trip latest; may need another step forward.
13th	2 13th (2) (22/1 +12%) Redondo	22 22/1(+12%)	(2) Redondo 22/1, Foaled April 25. 5,000 gns foal, Territories colt. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 9f Maftoon and 11f winner Jubilee Girl. Dam maiden (stayed 13f). Half-brother to 4 winners inc' 2yos; shaped like he may want further in 7f barrier trial.
14th	5 14th (5) (6/1 +45%) St Laurence's Gate	6 6/1(+45%)	(5) St Laurence's Gate 6/1, Twice-raced colt. Eighth of 17 in maiden (25/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 28 days ago. 13l behind River Tiber on debut; beaten 5l since; longer trip should help.

LTO Selection:

STATE'S EVIDENCE makes plenty of appeal, especially being related to a couple of juvenile winners, and Ger Lyons' colt gets the vote on his first career start. Look At The Stars represents leading connections and is another newcomer to note, while Blame Thechampagne is more than capable if returning to form after a below-par performance at Listowel. Others worth considering include Glengarriff, who stepped forward from his first outing when upped in trip, and St Laurence's Gate.

BLAME THECHAMPAGNE is probably worth another chance despite her Listowel disappointment as she'd gone well in a Group 3 prior to that. Look At The Stars and State's Evidence are a couple of interesting newcomers.

BLAME THECHAMPAGNE is probably worth giving another chance to after a big run in Group company last month and she gets weight from most

LTO Selection:

Swiss Army Officer is likely to prove popular after his runner-up effort at Cork last Friday, but the eight-year-old may be worth taking on now 5lb higher in the ratings and it could pay to side with the returning EPAULAWN. The gelded son of Epaulette shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when finishing eighth in last year's renewal and the handicapper may have been too lenient in dropping him 11lb. Kratos rates as a viable alternative having been lowered 9lb for his recent seventh-placed effort at Fairyhouse.

Low-grade stuff with SWISS ARMY OFFICER one of a small number arriving in some sort of form and he gets the vote. Wee Pablo and Sunset Nova are a couple of the other players.

SWISS ARMY OFFICER (nap) makes plenty of appeal after his narrow defeat in a much deeper race at Cork last week

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.
