17:10 Galway Maiden Hurdle 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (12/1 +14%) Arctic Fly	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Arctic Fly 12/1, Fair bumper winner who needed only to match that form to score emphatically on her Punchestown hurdling bow (2m) 51 days ago. Open to improvement. Cosy winner of a Punchestown maiden hurdle but will have to find lots of improvement.
2	3 2nd (3) (16/1 +20%) Sherodan	16 16/1(+20%)	(3) Sherodan 16/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and ran to a similar level when second of 15 in maiden (7/2) at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) on hurdles bow 63 days ago, clear of rest. Likely to improve. Second on hurdles debut at Ballinrobe after an absence; should have improved but tough ask.
3	7 3rd (7) (16/1 +20%) Calico	16 16/1(+20%)	(7) Calico 16/1, Proved better than ever when winning 8-runner novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 7 days ago, driven clear. This requires another jolt of improvement. Three-time hurdle winner; needs another chunk of improvement to take this.
4	8 4th (8) (25/1 -25%) Castra Vetera	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Castra Vetera 25/1, Capitalised on the marked drop in grade after 3 months off when winning 16-runner maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 16/5) 18 days ago. This demands more. Got off the mark in this sphere at Kilbeggan recently; needs to step up on that form.
5th	9 5th (9) (16/1 -45%) Enfranchise	16 16/1(-45%)	(9) Enfranchise 16/1, Useful on the Flat and seemed to run her best race over hurdles when seventh of 13 in Grade 3 event (200/1) at Tipperary (16f, good) 26 days ago. Smart Flat mare; has to find plenty more to make hurdles breakthrough in this company.
6th	1 6th (1) (0.67/1 +26%) Absurde	0.67 0.67/1(+26%)	(1) Absurde 0.67/1, Smart performer on Flat, doing well under circumstances when second of 16 to Vauban in Copper Horse Handicap at Royal Ascot in June, left with lot to do. Made a successful hurdling debut at KIlbeggan in May and is sure to improve. Smart Flat horse was a cosy Killarney maiden hurdle winner; Mullins first-string.
7th	5 7th (5) (5/1 +17%) Williamstowndancer	5 5/1(+17%)	(5) Williamstowndancer 5/1, Improved a little to make it 2 from 2 over hurdles in 8-runner minor event at Roscommon (15.5f, good to soft) 22 days ago, driven out. Open to further progress. Smart bumper mare has won both hurdle starts; needs a fair bit more in this company.
8th	4 8th (4) (5.5/1 -10%) Space Tourist	5.5 5.5/1(-10%)	(4) Space Tourist 5.5/1, Made the most of a good opportunity on her Limerick hurdling debut and showed improved form when following up with ease in 5-runner minor event at Kilbeggan (18.3f, good, 6/4) 43 days ago, pushed out. Merits consideration. Ran away with a Kilbeggan mares' novice hurdle last time; jumps to her left but a player.
9th	2 9th (2) (250/1 -25%) Arctic Saint	250 250/1(-25%)	(2) Arctic Saint 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Last of 9 in novice hurdle at Warwick (19f, good to soft, 9/1) 96 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Kim Bailey. Very hard to make a case for. Just a glimpse of ability in three starts for Kim Bailey in UK and is out of his depth.

LTO Selection:

An embarrassment of riches for Willie Mullins, saddling no less than four strong contenders in this quality affair. Paul Townend will be aboard French import Absurde, who won on his hurdling debut at Killarney before finishing second at Royal Ascot. He was behind a stable companion there and might have to settle for a similar faith now, with SPACE TOURIST the selection. Three from four since joining Mullins, she has impressed in recent starts and bids to complete a hat-trick, with Rachael Blackmore booked for the ride. Williamstowndancer and Arctic Fly are the other Closutton representatives, with the former also aiming for her third win in-a-row. Enfranchise was a fine seventh in Grade 3 company at Tipperary earlier this month and while yet to win over flights, she should give a good account of herself. Calico and Castra Vetera also warrant respect.

Smart Flat performer ABSURDE shaped well behind his thrown-in stablemate Vauban at Royal Ascot in June and is very much of interest now returned to hurdles. He can make it 2 from 2 in this sphere, with Williamstowndancer and Space Tourist fancied to fill the places and bring up 1-2-3 for Willie Mullins.

ABSURDE(nap) is a classy Flat type who won well on hurdling debut at Killarney and is the selected of Willie Mullins' four

17:40 Galway Maiden Chase 18f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (0.25/1 +24%) Sharjah	0.25 0.25/1(+24%)	(5) Sharjah 0.25/1, Very smart hurdler (twice a runner-up in Champion Hurdle). Arrives here having run well when 2¾ lengths second of 13 to Fils D'oudairies in Grade 3 Grimes Hurdle at Tipperary (2m) 26 days ago and this looks a good opening for him making chase debut. High-class hurdler should be able to take this if jumping soundly on chasing debut.
2	2 2nd (2) (6.5/1 -18%) Mars Harper	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(2) Mars Harper 6.5/1, Useful over hurdles and similar form at best over fences without tasting success. Fell at the first returning from 3 months off in Midlands National at Kilbeggan (25f) 18 days ago but return to pick of her form should see her thereabouts. Disappointing on last few starts and fell early in the Midlands National; needs best.
3	6 3rd (6) (7.5/1 -25%) Walnut Beach	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(6) Walnut Beach 7.5/1, Fairly useful chaser. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Tramore (16f, good to soft, 5/2) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Switches from Flat to chase and no surprise to see him in the mix. Solid efforts on both chase starts; will find Sharjah tough but can run well again.
4	1 4th (1) (11/1 -10%) Flaming Moon	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Flaming Moon 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler who won listed novice event at this meeting 12 months ago. However, below best in that sphere during second half of last year and disappointing on the level in recent starts. Needs to get back on track now attentions switch to chasing. Listed novice hurdle winner here a year ago; poor on the Flat when last seen; needs best.
5th	7 5th (7) (125/1 -25%) Intersky Sunset	125 125/1(-25%)	(7) Intersky Sunset 125/1, Point winner but little to shout about under Rules and got no further than the second in mares' maiden chase at Kilbeggan (19f) 11 days ago (saddle slipped). Another who can only be watched. Suffered a slipped saddle last time but still has loads to find on previous form.
6th	3 6th (3) (50/1 +24%) Pale Blue Dot	50 50/1(+24%)	(3) Pale Blue Dot 50/1, Fair hurdler. One win from 24 NH runs. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Killarney (22.8f, good) 11 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Likely to fall short. Well beaten both chase runs; this is too tough and will be better off in handicap company.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 +0%) Shackleton Island	200 200/1(+0%)	(4) Shackleton Island 200/1, Pulled up both starts in points. Poor maiden over hurdles, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (24.4f) 6 weeks ago. Hard to make a case for now sent chasing. Poor maiden is way out of his depth in this company.

LTO Selection:

At the age of 10, top-class hurdler SHARJAH is undoubtedly a late recruit to fences, but he still stands out a mile here and will prove hard to beat. The great Faugheen, for the same connections, had a similar profile when tackling racecourse fences for the first time at the age of 11, a move that ultimately proved very successful. A six-time winner at the highest level, the selection has reportedly 'schooled fantastically' and could yet add to his Grade 1 tally before the season is out. With a rating of 131, Mars Harper also stands out as the clear danger. He is without a win from seven starts over fences but has put in some fine efforts in defeat, finishing second in a Grade 2 at Punchestown in November. Walnut Beach has been running well of late and can challenge for minor honours.

A tremendous campaigner for connections, SHARJAH comes here on the back of a good second in a Grade 3 hurdle at Tipperary 26 days ago and this looks a good opportunity for Willie Mullins' veteran now his attentions switch to chasing. Mars Harper and Walnut Beach can do battle for minor honours.

It would be nonsensical to oppose the six-time Grade 1-winning hurdler SHARJAH, even though he is making his chasing debut.

17:40 Galway Maiden Chase 18f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:10 Galway Maiden 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (2.5/1 +58%) Purple Lily	2.5 2.5/1(+58%)	(6) Purple Lily 2.5/1, Foaled March 10. €17,500 foal, €24,000 yearling, €155,000 2-y-o, Calyx filly. Dam, French 8.5f winner, half-sister to smart 1½m winner Lady's Secret, third in Irish Oaks. Noteworthy debutante. Cost 155,000euros as a 2yo; by a smart first-crop sire; yard in flying form and respected.
2	7 2nd (7) (2.75/1 +0%) Tannola	2.75 2.75/1(+0%)	(7) Tannola 2.75/1, Foaled March 4. Awtaad filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 7f/1m winner Taniyar and winner up to 7.4f Tanaza, both smart, and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Tarawa. Stable in good form. Not ruled out. By a decent sire and comes from a solid damline; yard does well in this race; a player.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/1 +22%) Kalispera	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Kalispera 7/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 6 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, good to soft, 8/1) on debut 12 days ago. Yard having good spell. Likely to improve. Should have improved from debut effort and be involved; entered in the Moyglare.
4	5 4th (5) (4.5/1 -125%) Mayfair	4.5 4.5/1(-125%)	(5) Mayfair 4.5/1, Foaled March 13. Justify filly. Sister to 1m winner Unless. Stable having good spell so she's an interesting newcomer, especially if the market speaks in her favour. By a leading young sire and represents top connections, so commands the utmost respect.
5th	2 5th (2) (3.5/1 +0%) Glor Tire	3.5 3.5/1(+0%)	(2) Glor Tire 3.5/1, Progressive filly. 33/1, excellent second of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) 19 days ago. Stable having good spell. Leading form claims. Vulnerable to a smart rival but her experience will be a useful asset and can be involved.
6th	1 6th (1) (125/1 -56%) Francoise Ardy	125 125/1(-56%)	(1) Francoise Ardy 125/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 150/1) 26 days ago. More is needed. Respectable run at Bellewstown last time; will need another big leap forward.
7th	8 7th (8) (33/1 +34%) The Crafty Girl	33 33/1(+34%)	(8) The Crafty Girl 33/1, Foaled March 3. Mastercraftsman filly. Sister to winner up to 8.6f Nezar and 1m/9f winner Italian King and half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m winner Ottilie. Dam unraced. No forlorn hope. By a decent sire and not a bad pedigree but others are preferred.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 -29%) I'll Rise	18 18/1(-29%)	(3) I'll Rise 18/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at Limerick (7f, good to firm) on debut 48 days ago. Needs to build on it. Improvement likely from debut and should be capable of another decent effort.

LTO Selection:

With three efforts to her name, GLOR TIRE is the most experienced filly in the line-up, a fact which should stand to her in this eight-runner affair. The Teofilo-bay appears to be improving with each start and ran her best race to date when second at Leopardstown on her most recent outing. She finished half a length ahead of Brilliant at the Foxrock venue and that one since gave the form a boost by winning on her next start. Mayfair and Tannola are the most interesting of the newcomers, with the Aidan O'Brien-trained former given second preference. Out of Group 1 winner Clemmie, she holds many big race entries. Tannola represents Dermot Weld, who won this race 12 months ago with the brilliant Tahiyra. The Awtaad is closely-related to a whole host of winners and it'll come as no surprise if she proves good enough to win this. Kalispera can build on a solid debut effort, while the Paddy Twomey-trained Purple Lily is another that warrants respect.

Lots of potential on show but Jim Bolder's progressive Teofilo filly GLOR TIRE sets a good standard on the form of her recent Leopardstown second so gets the vote. Aidan O'Brien's Justify newcomer Mayfair rates a big threat though while fellow debutantes Tannola and Purple Lily also need considering in an intriguing juvenile maiden.

Preference is for the well-bred newcomer MAYFAIR, representing a yard that does well in this race.

18:40 Galway Handicap 9f - 18 Run Class & Speed Card

2	18 2nd (18) (18/1 -13%) No More Porter	18 18/1(-13%)	(18) No More Porter 18/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fourth of 20 in handicap (7/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, soft) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/1 +8%) Dunum	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Dunum 11/1, Course winner. Five wins from 17 Flat runs, including at this meeting. Made a winning reappearance in April and ground perhaps too quick when Twenty-fourth of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 17/2) 41 days ago. Can bounce back.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 -11%) Casanova	20 20/1(-11%)	(3) Casanova 20/1, C&D winner. 16/1, respectable 5½ lengths tenth of 18 to Blues Emperor in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 30 days ago. On a lengthy losing run.
5th	12 5th (12) (9/1 +0%) Joe Masseria	9 9/1(+0%)	(12) Joe Masseria 9/1, Won a 3-y-o handicap here last summer. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Good third of 10 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 9/1) 15 days ago.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 -80%) Blues Emperor	9 9/1(-80%)	(2) Blues Emperor 9/1, Career best when winning 18-runner handicap (7/1) at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 30 days ago, keeping on well. Limit not yet reached so seems sure to go well in hat-trick quest.
7th	1 7th (1) (20/1 -11%) Saltonstall	20 20/1(-11%)	(1) Saltonstall 20/1, C&D winner. Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Leopardstown (9f, good) 19 days ago, never nearer. Mark leaves no margin for error.
8th	4 8th (4) (12/1 +0%) Current Option	12 12/1(+0%)	(4) Current Option 12/1, Won over 7f at this meeting last year. 25/1, respectable 5½ lengths ninth of 18 to Blues Emperor in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 30 days ago, having to pick way through and not given a hard time. Of serious interest.
9th	13 9th (13) (10/1 +17%) Alanya	10 10/1(+17%)	(13) Alanya 10/1, First run since leaving P. Sogorb when 40/1, won 15-runner handicap at the Curragh (10f, good) on IRE debut 31 days ago, quickening clear. Open to progress and she's an unknown quantity.

11th	9 11th (9) (7/1 +18%) Soaring Monarch	7 7/1(+18%)	(9) Soaring Monarch 7/1, C&D winner. 17/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Roscommon (10f, good to soft) 28 days ago, landed a few bets on what was his reappearance. May have more to offer.
12th	16 12th (16) (25/1 +11%) Brave Troop	25 25/1(+11%)	(16) Brave Troop 25/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 21¼ lengths seventeenth of 18 to Blues Emperor in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm, 14/1) 30 days ago, shaping as though amiss.
13th	14 13th (14) (14/1 +44%) Cordouan	14 14/1(+44%)	(14) Cordouan 14/1, Respectable 3 lengths second of 6 to stablemate Celtic Crown in handicap (10/3) at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft) 12 days ago.
14th	11 14th (11) (33/1 -18%) Celtic Crown	33 33/1(-18%)	(11) Celtic Crown 33/1, Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good to soft, 14/1) 12 days ago by 3 lengths from Cordouan. Up 5 lb in a much deeper race.

16th	7 16th (7) (10/1 -25%) Salt Lake City	10 10/1(-25%)	(7) Salt Lake City 10/1, Good 3 lengths sixth of 10 to Zarinsk in Minstrel Stakes at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft, 11/2) 5 days ago, inadequate test. Back up in trip for handicap debut representing top yard.
17th	17 17th (17) (10/1 +38%) Mister Wilson	10 10/1(+38%)	(17) Mister Wilson 10/1, C&D winner. 9/4, bit below form third of 7 in minor event hurdle at Bellewstown (16.8f, good) 24 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat and has been given a chance by the assessor.
18th	8 18th (8) (7.5/1 +17%) Rahmi	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(8) Rahmi 7.5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 4/1, 2½ lengths fourth of 18 to Blues Emperor in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Likely to continue in form.

LTO Selection:

Unsurprisingly, Adrian McGuinness saddles a strong team as he bids to claim this valuable prize for the fourth time in five years. Just denied by half a length 12 months ago, Casanova is one of seven representatives for McGuinness and the Frankel gelding is sure to have plenty of supporters, with Cian MacRedmond claiming a valuable 5lb. The Co Dublin handler also saddles leading hopes in the shape of three-time course winner Current Option, recent Leopardstown victor Celtic Crown and top-weight Saltonstall, who is bidding to win this race for a third time. For a selection, it might be worth siding with DUNUM, despite the fact his excellent run of form came to an end at Royal Ascot. His previous seven starts yielded five wins and he might be able to bounce back to his best now. Alanya is of definite interest after her comfortable Ladies Derby success, while others for the shortlist in this extremely competitive affair are Blues Emperor, Salt Lake City, Rahmi, Joe Masseria and Soaring Monarch.

ALANYA belied unflattering odds when making a taking winning Irish debut at the Curragh a month ago and if there's a runner with the potential to be a lot better than their current mark, it's probably her. Blues Emperor also has a likeable profile and is a big threat, with Current Option perhaps the pick of the Adrian McGuinness septet.

This has been won by a horse with a double-digit draw six years in a row. SOARING MONARCH may continue this trend

19:15 Galway Maiden 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (2.5/1 +0%) Livio Milo	2.5 2.5/1(+0%)	(4) Livio Milo 2.5/1, Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Respectable second of 10 in maiden at Naas (8f, good to firm, 15/8) 34 days ago, no match for winner. Consistent in five maiden attempts this term without improving on his best juvenile form.
2	11 2nd (11) (1.88/1 +32%) Nelda	1.88 1.88/1(+32%)	(11) Nelda 1.88/1, Fairly useful form. 28/1, 6½ lengths sixth of 8 to Zarinsk in Brownstown Stakes at Fairyhouse (7f, good) 20 days ago. Should be bang there. Only a short head behind Pier Pressure, ran in a Group race last time, should go close.
3	6 3rd (6) (33/1 +50%) Sectarius	33 33/1(+50%)	(6) Sectarius 33/1, Ribchester gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Jose Echegaray and 2-y-o 5f winner Sankari Royale. Dam unraced sister to useful winner up to 1m Sydney Harbour. Half-brother to 5f/7f winners, dam unraced half-sister to juvenile Group 2 winner Shadn.
4	2 4th (2) (6.5/1 +46%) Alexander John	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(2) Alexander John 6.5/1, Fairly useful colt. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. 200/1, 15 lengths last of 10 to Zarinsk in Minstrel Stakes at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft) 5 days ago. Placed three times in maidens last season, has been running in Group races, place chance.
5th	8 5th (8) (28/1 +0%) Brave Thought	28 28/1(+0%)	(8) Brave Thought 28/1, Twice-raced filly. 25/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Down Royal (10.3f, good to soft) 4 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Significantly down in trip. Has shown some ability in two outings, stable has a stronger candidate in Alexander John.
6th	5 6th (5) (3.33/1 -67%) Pier Pressure	3.33 3.33/1(-67%)	(5) Pier Pressure 3.33/1, Promising type. Fairly useful form when placed in 2 outings over 6f at Naas 9 months apart. Should stay 7f. Big player with further improvement likely. Still unexposed after two 6f runs, longer trip should suit; closely matched with Nelda.
7th	3 7th (3) (14/1 -87%) Caulaincourt	14 14/1(-87%)	(3) Caulaincourt 14/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 10 in maiden (13/2) at Naas (8f, good to firm) 34 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve. Needs to find plenty of improvement from his first two runs, stable's second-string.
8th	7 8th (7) (40/1 -21%) Beauparc	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Beauparc 40/1, Free Eagle filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Secret Road. Dam, 7f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Mr Genuine. Half-sister to a 6f winner, dam 7f AW winner, half-sister to 7f Group 3 winner Exogenesis.
9th	1 9th (1) (66/1 +34%) Ruby Jules	66 66/1(+34%)	(1) Ruby Jules 66/1, Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. Last of 7 in maiden (125/1) at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Finished third in this event at 100-1 last season, little else of any merit in her form.
10th	12 10th (12) (150/1 +0%) Saoirses Lulaby	150 150/1(+0%)	(12) Saoirses Lulaby 150/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 14 in maiden (100/1) at Dundalk (7f) on debut. Off 7 months. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Last of 14 at Dundalk on only start at two, transformation required with tongue-tie.
11th	9 11th (9) (28/1 +30%) Kaydees Magic	28 28/1(+30%)	(9) Kaydees Magic 28/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. 17/2, ninth of 14 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 14 days ago, merely closing up late. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Started the season with a couple of fair handicaps displays, seems regressive now.

LTO Selection:

The well-bred NELDA is taken to reverse Naas form with Pier Pressure. There was just a short head between them at the Tipper Road venue, with the selection since finishing a respectable sixth in a Group 3 at Fairyhouse. Bought for E230,000 as a yearling, she might be able to take advantage of her favourable draw in four. The aforementioned Pier Pressure is drawn out in 10 and steps up in trip to 7f after being placed on his first two starts. There was plenty of market confidence behind the Kingman bay on both occasions and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to make the breakthrough now. Livio Milo is the other standout name in the line-up. A runner-up no less than four times, he would be a deserving winner, however he has a wide draw to overcome and is rated 8lb inferior to the selection. Caulaincourt and Brave Thought are others capable of making an impact.

PIER PRESSURE shaped well on his Naas reappearance 5 weeks ago and can build on that promise and get off the mark at the third attempt. Nelda wasn't beaten that far in a Group 3 last time and is second choice ahead of Dermot Weld's Livio Milo.

The well-related NELDA now has another run under her belt and may reverse Naas form with Pier Pressure

1	11 1st (11) (3.5/1 +50%) Bells On Her Toes	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(11) Bells On Her Toes 3.5/1, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (6/1) at Naas (7f, soft) 6 days ago. This is tougher but she ought to go well again. Won last week and 3lb higher; runner-up over C&D at this meeting last year and run well.
2	9 2nd (9) (14/1 +13%) Free Solo	14 14/1(+13%)	(9) Free Solo 14/1, Creditable fifth of 15 in handicap (20/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can make presence felt. Two decent runs for this yard, including at Killarney after a break; poor only start here.
3	17 3rd (17) (28/1 -12%) Eloquent Arthur	28 28/1(-12%)	(17) Eloquent Arthur 28/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Blinkered for 1st time, good second of 10 in claimer at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft, 7/2) 8 days ago. Back down in trip. Others more persuasive. RESERVE. Slowly dropping down the handicap but others are preferred; reserve.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 +25%) Spanish Tenor	12 12/1(+25%)	(7) Spanish Tenor 12/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good, 10/1) 19 days ago. Each-way claims. Has run well over C&D; slowly dropping down the handicap but a tough draw.
5th	15 5th (15) (22/1 +12%) Half Nutz	22 22/1(+12%)	(15) Half Nutz 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Fairyhouse (6f, good to firm, 11/1) 53 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Would have a chance if repeating his Curragh run in May when he was unlucky-in-running.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 -17%) Sirjack Thomas	14 14/1(-17%)	(6) Sirjack Thomas 14/1, Course winner. Latest win at the Curragh in May. Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good, 66/1) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Drop back in trip a concern. Couuse winner put up some good runs over further this season but might find this sharp.
7th	16 7th (16) (5/1 +33%) Plunkett	5 5/1(+33%)	(16) Plunkett 5/1, Well supported and duly posted best effort of year when creditable fifth of 17 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, good) 54 days ago. 2 lb lower now and must enter calculations. Dual winner has twice run well in defeat here; has a decent draw and could go well.
8th	13 8th (13) (8/1 -45%) Imposing Supreme	8 8/1(-45%)	(13) Imposing Supreme 8/1, C&D winner who capitalised on a falling mark when landing 14-runner handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago, kept up to work. Remains fairly treated on old form and is one for shortlist. Has won 3 times here; penalised 7lb for Bellewstown win but should still be competitive.
9th	2 9th (2) (10/1 +17%) Laughifuwant	10 10/1(+17%)	(2) Laughifuwant 10/1, C&D winner. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Naas (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 72 days ago, not ideally placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. C&D winner is slowly dropping down the handicap but has been poor the last twice.
10th	10 10th (10) (18/1 -50%) Kodiac Prince	18 18/1(-50%)	(10) Kodiac Prince 18/1, Latest win at the Curragh in June. Seventh of 10 in handicap (9/2) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 15 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Not out of things. Below par last time; has run well at this track but might find this trip a bit sharp.
11th	3 11th (3) (16/1 -100%) Eastern Wind	16 16/1(-100%)	(3) Eastern Wind 16/1, Back to winning ways when taking 10-runner handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, always holding on. 5 lb higher now but another bold bid anticipated. Was a game winner over this trip at Leopardstown last time; 5lb higher but a chance.
12th	5 12th (5) (16/1 -33%) Mary Salome	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Mary Salome 16/1, 5¼ lengths eighth of 9 to Dha Leath in listed race at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 50/1) 21 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Outclassed in listed race last time; previously in fine form and has a solid chance.
13th	14 13th (14) (22/1 -10%) Pinar Del Rio	22 22/1(-10%)	(14) Pinar Del Rio 22/1, 66/1, good sixth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, soft) 10 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Fine run from out of the handicap in the 6f Scurry H'cap but is unproven over this trip.
14th	12 14th (12) (22/1 -57%) Comfort Line	22 22/1(-57%)	(12) Comfort Line 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 9 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft, 33/1) 8 days ago, not ideally placed. Down in trip. Others preferred. Placed at this track; good run over nearly 1m2f last time but might find this too sharp.
15th	1 15th (1) (80/1 -142%) Invincible Larne	80 80/1(-142%)	(1) Invincible Larne 80/1, Unreliable sort. 11/1, 7 lengths seventh of 10 to Eastern Wind in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Others preferred. Second at Leopardstown over this trip; below that level back there since; has to rebound.
16th	4 16th (4) (4.5/1 +18%) Gambe Veloci	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(4) Gambe Veloci 4.5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 18 in handicap (7/1) at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Yard in good form. Respected. Solid runs in defeat in premier handicaps over 1m lately; this stiff 7f should suit.

LTO Selection:

IMPOSING SUPREME has a fine record at Ballybrit and is one of the safer options in this competitive affair. A three-time course winner, he caught the eye on his penultimate start at the Curragh, before registering a fifth career success at Bellewstown. Clearly in good spirits, the seven-year-old should be able to make his presence felt. Adrian McGuinness is again well represented, saddling four of the 16 set to take part. His Sirjack Thomas is given second preference, with this one successful in the feature race on the card back in 2021. He ended a long losing streak by winning at the Curragh in May and was a never nearer sixth in the Nasrullah Handicap on his most recent start. Laughifuwant is a dual course and distance winner and warrants respect with Colin Keane aboard, all of 20lb lower than his most recent winning mark. Gambe Veloci is of definite interest on what will be just his third start in handicap company, while others of note are Pinar Del Rio and Kodiac Prince, along with recent winners Bells On Her Toes and Eastern Wind.

Multiple course winner IMPOSING SUPREME bounced back to form when scoring at Bellewstown last month and remains feasibly treated. He can follow up. Plunkett and Eastern Wind head the list of dangers.

Runner-up at this meeting last year, BELLS ON HER TOES has been in fine form lately and can follow up her Naas win.

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (4/1 -33%) Complete Fiction	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Complete Fiction 4/1, Latest win at Leopardstown in June. 9/2, very good second of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (9f, good) 19 days ago, keeping on well. Likely to be on the premises. Best form has been at Leopardstown in previous seasons and on first two starts this term.
2	15 2nd (15) (7/1 +50%) Arch Enemy	7 7/1(+50%)	(15) Arch Enemy 7/1, Latest win at Listowel in June. 17/2, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good) 38 days ago, slowly away. Can't be ruled out. Dundalk and Listowel winner this year, well beaten off this mark at Down Royal last time.
3	7 3rd (7) (4/1 +0%) Khafaaq	4 4/1(+0%)	(7) Khafaaq 4/1, Course winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner handicap (9/1) at Limerick (8f, good) 38 days ago. Should go well again. Up an aggregate 13lb after two wins and two seconds since May, could feature again.
4	8 4th (8) (4.5/1 +50%) Starting Monday	4.5 4.5/1(+50%)	(8) Starting Monday 4.5/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable sixth of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 17/2) 14 days ago. Every chance if back to best. Chance on his second in testing conditions at Cork in May, unplaced twice then.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/1 +30%) Dabana	7 7/1(+30%)	(6) Dabana 7/1, Winner at Dundalk in February. 14/1, shaped as if better for run when fourth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Should be much closer to form this time. May have needed recent run over 7f at Leopardstown, longer trip will suit, good chance.
6th	16 6th (16) (80/1 -60%) Golden Warrior	80 80/1(-60%)	(16) Golden Warrior 80/1, Hooded for 1st time, last of 15 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft, 66/1) 14 days ago, slowly away. Hard to make a case for. Dual AW winner in Britain; no impact in four runs in Ireland, last of 15 at Killarney.
7th	10 7th (10) (33/1 -65%) Coviglia	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Coviglia 33/1, 18/1, first run since leaving C. Moore when below form eighth of 14 in claimer at Bellewstown (7.8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Others make more appeal. Useful 2022 form winning twice and placing three times, may have needed Bellewstown run.
8th	19 8th (19) (20/1 +0%) Brown Eagle	20 20/1(+0%)	(19) Brown Eagle 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Good second of 11 in claimer (12/1) at Killarney (8.2f, good) 13 days ago. RESERVE. First reserve, 1-23 record is a negative and he has shown his best form in claiming races.
9th	5 9th (5) (16/1 -45%) Blackcastle Storm	16 16/1(-45%)	(5) Blackcastle Storm 16/1, Pulled up in novice hurdle (25/1) at Ballinrobe (17f, good) on NH debut 7 days ago, dropping away quickly. Well treated and likely to be back to form returning to the Flat. Pulled-up in a maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe last week, tough task against that background.
10th	3 10th (3) (14/1 +0%) Mercurial	14 14/1(+0%)	(3) Mercurial 14/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 5/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Limerick (6.7f, good) 39 days ago. Up in trip. Not firing so far this term, but is sliding in the weights. Had fair placed form last summer but over shorter distances than this, not certain to stay.
11th	17 11th (17) (22/1 +12%) Gometra Ginty	22 22/1(+12%)	(17) Gometra Ginty 22/1, Visored for 1st time, tenth of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm, 9/1) 29 days ago, doing too much too soon. First run for yard after leaving Keith Dalgleish. Worth a market check. Nine-time winner for Keith Dalgleish, not at her best this year, plenty to prove now.
12th	12 12th (12) (40/1 -60%) Humanitarian	40 40/1(-60%)	(12) Humanitarian 40/1, Quirky sort. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 22/1, sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17f, good) 7 days ago. Poor on last Flat outing. Hard to make a solid case for back in this sphere. Fit from hurdling but recent form not as encouraging as a couple of runs in the spring.
13th	13 13th (13) (22/1 +33%) Little Jo	22 22/1(+33%)	(13) Little Jo 22/1, Latest win at Nottingham in May. Last of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft, 22/1) 12 days ago, very slowly away. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Has a bit to prove at present. Nine wins in Britain, two of them over 1m in May, well held on first two Irish starts.
14th	11 14th (11) (33/1 +0%) Highland King	33 33/1(+0%)	(11) Highland King 33/1, 40/1, first run since leaving Henry De Bromhead when twelfth of 16 in handicap at Leopardstown (12.8f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Might bounce back. Maiden whose best run came when close second in a 1m1f handicap at Leopardstown last year.
15th	18 15th (18) (50/1 -52%) Noble Crusade	50 50/1(-52%)	(18) Noble Crusade 50/1, 16/1, eleventh of 17 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16.9f, good to soft) 18 days ago, finishing with running left. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat outing. Returns to this sphere on a handy mark. Sole Irish win came over further than this at Killarney last year, out of form since then.
16th	4 16th (4) (11/1 +31%) Safari Quest	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Safari Quest 11/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Roscommon (11.7f, good, 16/1) 61 days ago. Down in trip. Not easy to make a case for. Down 10lb since the start of the season and from a yard with a fine record at this fixture.
17th	14 17th (14) (14/1 +30%) The Mpex Kid	14 14/1(+30%)	(14) The Mpex Kid 14/1, 11/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f). Off 7 months. Up in trip. Likely to need the run. Two wins over 1m at Dundalk last year, 1-22 turf record is off-putting, lacks a recent run.
18th	9 18th (9) (66/1 -100%) Albion Princess	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Albion Princess 66/1, 10/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Kempton (8f). Off 160 days. First run for yard after leaving Harry & Roger Charlton. Returns with a bit to prove. AW and good-ground turf winner in Britain, soft ground may not be ideal for Irish debut.

LTO Selection:

Dropped 6lb for his latest effort at Roscommon, SAFARI QUEST is an interesting contender off a revised mark of 70. Previously trained by Ger Lyons and successful at Gowran in September of 2021, he returned to action in March, making his debut for Tony Martin after a lengthy layoff. While he has shown very little in recent starts, he is capable of making his presence felt if returning to his best, with Ben Coen a positive jockey booking. Khafaaq has been in fine form of late and is sure to have plenty of supporters, as he bids to win for a third time this season. A nine-time winner in the UK, Gometra Ginty starts off for Denis Hogan and with Kyle McHugh claiming a valuable 10lb, she should give a good account of herself. A case can be made for many others in this wide-open contest, with Complete Fiction, Dabana, Arch Enemy and Desert Wind all leading contenders.

STARTING MONDAY was quickly back to form when sixth at Killarney last time and would have finished closer with a clear run, so he's worth a chance to land this for all that he'll need a bit of luck from a wide draw. Khafaaq and Complete Fiction look the main dangers.

A handicap only in name with just 3lb separating top from bottom. DABANA should be spot-on for this after a recent run at Leopardstown

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.
