16:00 Gowran Park Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SEA THE POLARIS has handled varying ground conditions and notably showed plenty of promise on debut over this trip in testing conditions at the Galway Festival last summer. Not a lot went right for the son of Sea The Stars as he was slowly away and also met trouble in running before finishing well when runner-up to Mythology. The selection should have benefitted from a recent outing when third at Dundalk. Thor's Hammer is the obvious threat having filled the runner-up spot twice in maidens with cut in the ground last year and was also far from disgraced in the Goffs Million at the Curragh. Any support for newcomer Robbies Rock would be interesting.

Provided he copes with this drop back in trip, SEA THE POLARIS could be the answer. Thor's Hammer is clear second choice, while newcomer Robbies Rock is most interesting of the remainder.

RPR figures give a slight edge to the more experienced THOR'S HAMMER over Sea The Polaris in what looks like a match.

16:35 Gowran Park Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There is little to choose between Victor's Choice and DOLCE FAR NIENTE on running over this trip on heavy ground at Galway last autumn. The pair were separated by a neck when placed behind I've Been Dreaming and Joe Murphy's charge, who was previously placed over this C&D, may just have the more scope for improvement. Special Agent has yet to race outside of Dundalk but gives Adrian Murray another strong contender, while others to consider include Harry The Rogue and Madame Plaintiff. The latter had Limoncello Lady and Tiffany Mae behind when third to Photosynthesis at Navan and now makes her handicap debut.

It could be worth siding with DOLCE FAR NIENTE, who improved when third in 7f nurseries on her final two starts of last season. The fact that she is proven on deep ground helps tilt the scales in her favour, with main dangers Harry The Rogue and Special Angel yet to encounter such conditions. Victor's Choice was second on heavy at Galway during the autumn and will be a threat if fully tuned-up following a break.

No previous winners here but DOLCE FAR NIENTE will not need to improve much from her two nursery runs to open her account

17:05 Gowran Park Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MASTER GARVEY was placed on a number of occasions last year including over C&D and has returned in fine form this season backing up a highly creditable third at the Curragh by opening his account over this trip at Naas. The selection was well clear inside the final furlong before just holding on from Spring Collection with a five-length gap back to the third and he's taken to defy a 9lb rise in the ratings. Manhattan Dandy was sixth in that Naas handicap and gave the form a boost when subsequently prominent throughout to land a 16-runner event at Leopardstown. Adhuil went close here last autumn and is a nice first ride for Rebecca Parsons, while Summer Snow and Barnhill Rose are others to note.

MANHATTAN DANDY justified support when beating 15 rivals in good style at Leopardstown 2 weeks ago so remains of interest. Master Garvey and Knockmore Prince head the dangers.

A chance is taken on SUMMER SNOW after changing yards. She's well handicapped and Keane is booked.

17:40 Gowran Park Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EXPRESSOVA showed a liking for these ground conditions last year when winning at Cork for Sheila Lavery and wound up the season with a creditable fourth to Zephron in a 22-runner Curragh handicap over this trip. She was sold for 135,000gns last December to join Joseph O'Brien. All Lies Ahead gained her second career win when successful over this trip on heavy ground at Leopardstown 12 months ago. She went close to adding to that tally a couple of times last autumn and was slowly away when reappearing in a Listed race at the Cork Easter meeting. Lady Arwen has won twice at this venue including over a mile last September, while Gypsy Woman has shown her best form on good ground.

GYPSY WOMAN upped her game to make all at Cork on her final 3-y-o outing and, 7 months on, she could pull off similar tactics at another track that's favourable to prominent racers. Expressova is an obvious player on debut for Joseph O'Brien and Everylittlestep could get back on track on return.

Some interesting runners but ALL LIES AHEAD (nap) has the benefit of a run and it was a highly encouraging one at Cork.

18:15 Gowran Park Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DOLLERINA looked a certain future winner after beating all bar Ylang Ylang on debut at the Curragh with Nativity Square in rear. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly has since performed with credit in Group 3 company but is still a maiden after five starts including when odds-on for her reappearance at Dundalk earlier this month. She's given another chance against Step It Out and Whisperinthewind who have both been placed twice on the polytrack. Fleur De Chine, Glen Princess and Ameilya are others to consider.

DOLLERINA was below her best on the back of 6 months off at Dundalk 12 days ago yet her form as a juvenile gives her excellent claims and she could be worth siding with to get back on track returned to turf. Fleur de Chine, Nativity Square and Glen Princess head up the dangers, with Whispersinthewind also in the mix.

The dilemma is whether to forgive DOLLERINA her disappointing return at Dundalk as she's a standout on her smart form of last season.

18:50 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CARDINAL ZIN filled the runner-up spot twice on testing ground last season including behind the impressive Look At The Stars at Listowel. The Willie McCreery-trained gelding now makes his handicap debut and gets the vote over Emerald Eclipse who was well-backed when placed on both starts at Dundalk earlier this year. Basilah Bear won a nursery at Naas over this trip and also performed with credit on heavy ground. Blue Soul has been mainly campaigned at Dundalk and comes here off a decent second to Galician Girl last month.

PUTURHANDSTOGETHER has seemingly been brought along with handicaps in mind and, with the scope for better, he's worth taking a chance from an opening mark of 74. His stablemate Emerald Eclipse is a danger on the back of two solid showings and Ringside Timing is worthy of interest back up to a trip that suits.

Joseph O'Brien could have aimed EMERALD ECLIPSE at another maiden but instead goes handicapping on just his third run.

19:25 Gowran Park Handicap 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JUNOT hasn't been seen on the Flat for 12 months but has built up a consistent series of placed efforts in handicap hurdles including when just denied over 2m4f at Fairyhouse. He now reverts to the level for a first Flat handicap off a basement mark. Game Nation recorded a 50/1 shock win on his last Flat start over 1m4f at Galway last October but hasn't made much impact since over hurdles. Nannie Dee was placed on soft ground for the Crisfords last year and Colin Keane is an eye-catching booking, while Chopsticks appreciated the addition of cheekpieces when runner-up to the well supported Alphonse Le Grande at Dundalk last month.

This is trappy with lots of these returning from an absence. CHOPSTICKS is fit form the AW though, producing a career best when second a month ago. This trip should suit so he gets the vote in favour of Walnut Beach and Game Nation.

An open finale. RUMI earns the tentative vote in the hope that he'll handle the ground. Game Nation and Junot are considered.

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.
