16:35 Dundalk Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien had his first two-year-old winner of the season here on Tuesday and saddles EMPEROR OF ROME in this. The No Nay Never colt is obviously showing a bit at home given that he is out so early. His dam is an unraced half-sister to a US listed winner. O'Brien's son Donnacha introduces Gloucester, a son of Ten Sovereigns who had his first winner with Brighter here the other day. This colt is a half-brother to a smart sort in Great House, a winner for the trainer a few years ago before going on to land two Group 3 contests in Australia. Excel In Space ran well on his debut here a fortnight ago when third to Buyin Buyin. He made the running then before giving way a furlong from home and that experience will be a big asset.

EMPEROR OF ROME is the obvious one on paper, especially if the market vibes are positive. Gloucester is another well-connected newcomer to consider, while Excel In Space showed ability when third in a C&D maiden 2 weeks ago.

It will be a surprise if Excel In Space can fend off all 3 newcomers and the market will be helpful; a chance is taken on GLOUCESTER

17:10 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

IT'LL DO MY DAY may prove the pick here in a tricky looking contest. He ran well when chasing home the in-form Tawaazon at Bellewstown eight days ago and runs off a pound lower mark now. Seven furlongs looked too far on his sole previous outing at this venue and he looks on a winnable mark over this kind of trip. Hero Of The Hour comes here in fine form and won well, after getting a run, here last time. He got a 7lb rise for that victory and his run style suggests he might be better over six furlongs. Disco Bear showed much more on her handicap debut at Navan last time but that was on much softer conditions.

Sole 3-y-o DISCO BEAR made a solid start to her handicap career when second at Naas last month and can go one better up against older and more exposed opposition. The thriving Hero of The Hour is feared most ahead of James McAuley's Eglish, the mount of Colin Keane.

Three-time 6f winner Hero Of The Hour is opposed at this trip; It'll Do My Day has found his level and will be suited by 5f

LTO Selection:

17:40 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There aren't too many horses running in the Magnier colours off a mark of 54 and UNCHAINED MELODY can gain a valuable bracket here. The Fastnet Rock filly is out of an unraced Galileo mare who is a full-sister to Listed winner Wild Irish Rose, from the family of Islington and Greek Dance. She is obviously no world beater but it was a nice run to finish third to the improver Duke Of Leggagh at Navan last time and going up to a mile-and-a-half now there looks to be a race in her at this level. Cherokee Run ran well on his handicap debut here in February when a close fourth to Autocrat and should be a big player now. That rival has been well beaten at Leopardstown since but that came in very testing conditions and he has to be considered back on this surface.

UNCHAINED MELODY never improved in form terms but was deserving of credit for finishing where she did when third on handicap debut at Naas 16 days ago and, with progress anticipated tackling this longer trip, she gets the nod to defy her lowly mark. Pulse Light, Mehsham and Autocrat head up the dangers.

Navan third Unchained Melody has a decent chance but AUTOCRAT is only 4lb higher than when winning here in February and should stay

LTO Selection:

18:10 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EMERIC can land back-to-back victories at the track after a cosy victory here a fortnight ago. Colin Keane gave the Elusive Pimpernel gelding a confident ride then and he was value for more than his two-and-a-half length winning margin over Dark Street. An 8lb rise for that doesn't look harsh. The runner-up is entitled to get a bit closer now on revised terms. Barretstown was also a winner here last time, in early February, and in comparison to the selection a 5lb rise for a head victory looks tougher.

EMERIC justified support in good style over C&D on his return 2 weeks ago so may prove up to defying an 8 lb rise. Dark Street rates the main threat again on 8 lb better terms, with French Company another to consider on the back of his close third under this rider here 3 weeks ago.

A decisive winner over C&D last month, EMERIC (nap) can go in again; Barretstown has a good track record and should be thereabouts

LTO Selection:

18:40 Dundalk Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

UNLESS ran well on her return this season when losing out by half a length to the highly rated Honey Girl and can open her account now. She was collared inside the final furlong then, after making the running, and went down by half a length to the 102-rated rival at the Curragh. This looks a slightly easier task. The 90-rated Navalny could be the danger now. This No Nay Never filly showed up well when fifth in Listed company here last September before ending last season by finishing fourth in a Naas maiden. She has shown enough to give her a big chance in this company. Ger Lyons introduces Juddmonte filly Smote and markets moves for her would be interesting. The Dark Angel filly is out of a stakes placed full-sister to Showcasing.

UNLESS improved on the pick of her 2-y-o efforts after 8 months off when second in a big-field maiden at the Curragh 3 weeks ago, pulling away from the rest, and she sets a clear standard. Navalny had excuses at Naas on his final start and has place claims on his best form, while Smote is a newcomer to note.

UNLESS sets the standard on form after a big run on her reappearance and she'll be hard to beat if she comes on for that

LTO Selection:

19:10 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The 88-rated CLOUNMACON looks up to winning a race of this standard. The Kodi Bear filly lost out narrowly on her debut last season before chasing home subsequent Breeders Cup winner Victoria Road at Gowran Park. She was staying on over six furlongs on her final start in softer ground at the Curragh and going back up in trip on a better surface should suit better now. Blue News was placed five times from seven runs last season and became a touch frustrating. He had some solid form though and was runner-up three times here so is entitled to be thereabouts again. Phases Of Venus is an interesting newcomer for Paddy Twomey. The Galileo Gold filly is a half-sister to Listed winners Redolent and Pepita.

CLOUNMACON acquitted herself well in a trio of outings last season and looks the one to beat. Blue News and Lady Christa can also make their presence felt.

This looks like a good opportunity for CLOUNMACON who should relish a return to 7f and sets the standard on form

LTO Selection:

19:40 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Colin Keane partners ROCKBURY LAD on his return to action. The Showcasing gelding had a couple of decent runs off higher marks on the turf last season and could be nicely treated now. He competed of a mark of 67 on all four runs last season and having slipped 4lb over the winter he gets his first chance in the lowest grade now. Storm Eric was well beaten in testing conditions at the Curragh last time but had been knocking on the door here previously and could go well again back on the all-weather. Memorial Verse hasn't been far away on her last couple of runs here and is another for the shortlist.

MEMORIAL VERSE has fewer miles on the clock than her rivals and shaped nicely over C&D last month. She can open her account. Alfarida and Maestro Stick head the list of dangers.

CATHERINE CHROI was in good form here back in February when she had little luck in running and she's been freshened up since

LTO Selection:

20:10 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ROYAL TRIBUTE was beaten favourite here on Tuesday but may be worth siding with, with Colin Keane taking the ride again. The Kingman gelding has been very consistent on the all-weather over the winter and gained both his previous wins over this trip. Kuwait Direction ran well when third here three weeks ago but this seven furlongs may stretch the Kodiac gelding, who seems to be best when forcing the pace. Blue Wood ran well when a close third here over a mile a fortnight ago. This could be his ideal trip and the Requinto gelding hasn't many miles on the clock despite being seven.

BLUE WOOD built on his stable debut when third at this course a fortnight ago and gets the nod in the finale. Kuwait Direction and Royal Tribute can also make their presence felt.

A step back up in trip ought to suit NUMOOR who ran with credit on his yard debut and was unsuited by 6f last time

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.
