16:00 Gowran Park Maiden 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (15/2 +38%) Buttermere Ridge	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(2) Buttermere Ridge 15/2, €11,000 foal, €18,000 yearling, Profitable gelding. Dam, placed at 6f-1m, half-sister to useful 6f winner Lavaspin. Dam was placed twice from eight runs for this stable, might need a sound surface.
2	5 2nd (5) (7/1 +50%) Solomon Coop	7 7/1(+50%)	(5) Solomon Coop 7/1, Twice-raced colt. Showed more than on debut when sixth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 18/1). Off 179 days. Prominent for a long way over 1m at Dundalk, should improve but may need a handicap mark.
3	9 3rd (9) (8/15 +34%) Miss Tapley	0.533333 8/15(+34%)	(9) Miss Tapley 8/15, Made an encouraging start to her career when second of 5 in maiden at Galway (7.1f, good to soft, 7/1) on debut. Off 7 months. Should improve and looks the one to beat. Chased home a smart filly at Galway last September on debut, third won her next start.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +27%) It'sonlyjustbegun	4 4/1(+27%)	(8) It'sonlyjustbegun 4/1, Ran to a fair level when sixth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) on debut 16 days ago. Should improve. Can be expected to show the benefit of an initial outing in a 1m maiden at Leopardstown.
5th	7 5th (7) (125/1 -25%) You Done Well	125 125/1(-25%)	(7) You Done Well 125/1, Twice-raced gelding. 125/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at this course (8.3f, heavy). Off 6 months. Failed to make much impression in race at Listowel and this venue last autumn, tough task..
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 -227%) Gandolfo	9 9/1(-227%)	(3) Gandolfo 9/1, Fairly useful maiden who ran poorly switched to a handicap when tenth of 13 at Naas (5.9f, soft). Off 6 months. Blinkers on for 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Placed in three maidens last season, gelded and blinkered, holds a leading chance.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 +0%) Magic Defense	200 200/1(+0%)	(4) Magic Defense 200/1, No show in 3 maidens. Finished last on all three starts last season; can be left out of calculations..
8th	6 8th (6) (200/1 -33%) Storm Tracker	200 200/1(-33%)	(6) Storm Tracker 200/1, 100/1, eleventh of 13 in minor event at Dundalk (7f) on debut. Off 139 days. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Has been gelded. Never in contention at Dundalk on his only start for Gavin Cromwell; unlikely to feature.

MISS TAPLEY looks the one to beat here on her return to action. The Phoenix Of Spain filly was a promising second at Galway on her sole outing last season September and that form looks strong. The winner, Tannola, was runner-up in two hot maidens prior to her success while the third horse, Vassula Ryden, went on to win a Navan maiden in good style. The 77-rated Gandolfo is more exposed but is entitled to run well. It'sonlyjustbegun showed promise when sixth in a Leopardstown maiden 16 days ago on her debut and is a potential improver.

MISS TAPLEY made a promising start to her career when second at Galway in September and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better with improvement forthcoming. Gandolfo would have claims if bouncing back from a poor showing at Naas on his final 2-y-o outing, while It'sonlyjustbegun shaped with some encouragement on her recent debut at Leopardstown and ought to improve.

The experienced Gandolfo merits respect but he is not certain to cope with the less-exposed MISS TAPLEY, second on debut at Galway

16:00 Gowran Park Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:35 Gowran Park Stakes 7f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (5/2 -81%) Norwalk Havoc	2.5 5/2(-81%)	(1) Norwalk Havoc 5/2, Promising individual. 10/1, left debut form well behind won 6-runner maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 13 days ago, cosily. More to come and should take all the beating. Won comfortably over 1m at Leopardstown and hard to know how good he is.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/3 +26%) Shelaka	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(4) Shelaka 10/3, One win from 2 runs last year. 7/2, 18½ lengths last of 6 to Opera Singer in Flame of Tara Stakes at the Curragh (8f, good). Off 8 months. Remains with potential back in calmer waters. Maiden winner before struggling in a Group 3; returns with her yard quiet.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -122%) Ribchestina	20 20/1(-122%)	(3) Ribchestina 20/1, Thrice-raced winner. One win from 3 runs last year. First run since leaving P. Twomey when 22¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Nemonte in minor event (10/3) at Roscommon (7.4f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Not sure what happened the last time but major player on her initial efforts.
4	5 4th (5) (5/2 +38%) Vassula Ryden	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(5) Vassula Ryden 5/2, Won 15-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f, heavy, 11/8), driven clear. Off 6 months. Back up in trip. Visor on 1st time. Should improve further and merits plenty of respect. It was over 5.5f that she got off the mark but kicked off at this trip; clearly useful.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/4 +63%) Nemonte	2.75 11/4(+63%)	(2) Nemonte 11/4, Fairly useful filly. Two wins from 6 runs last year. Creditable 5½ lengths sixth of 14 to Mountain Bear in listed race at Dundalk (7f, 40/1). Off 6 months. Yard having good spell. The most experienced of these after six starts and has won twice.

A win for Miss Tapley in the opener would be a boost to the form of VASSULA RYDEN. Willie McCreery's filly was a place behind that rival when the pair were second and third to Tannola on debut at Galway last September. Vassula Ryden went on to take a Navan maiden in good style subsequently and this looks a nice stepping stone. It's interesting that she's fitted with a visor on her return having been described as a lazy type last season. Norwalk Havoc comes into this with a recent win under his belt and looks the danger. Shelaka disappointed on her second outing last season behind Opera Singer in Group 3 company. She may be capable of better.

NORWALK HAVOC has the best form, is open to more improvement, and has a fitness edge over his main market rivals, so he looks a solid proposition. Vassula Ryden and Shelaka are a couple of promising fillies that should make better 3yos, so they're the chief dangers.

A tight race with not a lot between them on peak RPRs. NORWALK HAVOC looked a horse to follow when winning at Leopardstown.

16:35 Gowran Park Stakes 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:10 Gowran Park Maiden 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (10/3 +5%) Mataariki	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(9) Mataariki 10/3, €130,000 yearling, Cracksman filly. Half-sister to French 9f winner Madigan. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to smart 11f-2½m winner Molly Malone. Wears tongue strap. Interesting newcomer. 130,000 euros yearling; third foal; half-sister to French 1m1f winner Madigan (RPR 81).
2	12 2nd (12) (8/1 +33%) Quatrain	8 8/1(+33%)	(12) Quatrain 8/1, Mastercraftsman filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Viztoria and winner around 2m Thermoscope. Dam 1½m winner who stayed 1¾m. Newcomer to keep an eye on. 60,000gns yearling; half-sister to five winners including smart 6f-7f performer Viztoria.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -27%) Campari Soda	7 7/1(-27%)	(7) Campari Soda 7/1, Showcasing filly. Closely related to 5f winner Soul Seeker and 1m winner Partisan Hero and half-sister to several winners, including very smart 6f/7f winner Mad Cool, from excellent family. Noteworthy newcomer. Plenty of winners in the family so she's bred to have a bright future.
4	8 4th (8) (5/1 +0%) Gushing	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Gushing 5/1, Twice-raced filly, related to an Arlington Million winner. Eighth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy, 6/1) when last seen. Off 6 months. Presumably one of the yard's lesser lights and needs to improve. Ran to an ordinary level on soft and heavy ground in two runs last October.
5th	10 5th (10) (6/5 +47%) Nativity Square	1.2 6/5(+47%)	(10) Nativity Square 6/5, Lightly-raced filly. Good second of 12 in maiden (20/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 16 days ago, no match for promising Ballydoyle winner. Big player. Chased home a Ballydoyle newcomer at Leopardstown and may well go one better.
6th	5 6th (5) (20/1 +50%) Bella Mistiko	20 20/1(+50%)	(5) Bella Mistiko 20/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 18 in maiden (40/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy) on debut 36 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress. Slowly away before finishing midfield in a heavy-ground 7f maiden at the Curragh.
7th	6 7th (6) (25/1 +38%) Boskill Carmel	25 25/1(+38%)	(6) Boskill Carmel 25/1, Mastercraftsman filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 6f/7f winner Fifty Stars. Half-sister to a 1m2f Group 1 winner in Australia; likely best watched on debut.
8th	11 8th (11) (200/1 -100%) Our Lil	200 200/1(-100%)	(11) Our Lil 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1 and hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving John Quinn when sixth of 7 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 13 days ago. Has shown more temperament than ability and makes no appeal for now.
9th	4 9th (4) (80/1 -142%) The World's Astage	80 80/1(-142%)	(4) The World's Astage 80/1, Twice-raced filly. Off 172 days. Hard to fancy. Beaten 11l into fourth at Fairyhouse (7f) and beaten double that margin at Dundalk (1m).
10th	1 10th (1) (200/1 -100%) Barrogstown Girl	200 200/1(-100%)	(1) Barrogstown Girl 200/1, Twice-raced filly. Off 176 days. Down the field in 7f/1m2f maidens and was 100-1 on both occasions; couldn't recommend.
11th	2 11th (2) (200/1 +0%) Eirinn Rua	200 200/1(+0%)	(2) Eirinn Rua 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) 53 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Insufficient promise in two visits to Dundalk (1m/6f) to seriously entertain here.
12th	3 12th (3) (50/1 -317%) Sure Spirit	50 50/1(-317%)	(3) Sure Spirit 50/1, Promising sort. 17/2, second of 10 in novice at Newcastle (7.1f) 14 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Sir Mark Prescott Bt. Probably one for handicaps. Rated only 68 and that hints at limitations in a maiden of this nature.

NATIVITY SQUARE has been busy already this season and can gain a deserved win. The Vocalised filly ran really well when finishing second to Wingspan on her most recent outing at Leopardstown 16 days ago and a similar effort may be enough now. Gushing showed some promise on her debut when fourth at Thurles before a disappointing run at Leopardstown. She may be able to improve this year. Sure Spirit was runner-up twice on the all-weather in England but an official mark of 68 leaves her with a bit to find.

NATIVITY SQUARE is going the right way and can get off the mark in this thin maiden. Dangers come in the shape of newcomers Siege of Troy, Mataariki and Campari Soda.

This looks an excellent opportunity for the race-fit NATIVITY SQUARE to go one better than at Leopardstown.

17:10 Gowran Park Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:45 Gowran Park Handicap 10f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (9/2 +36%) Camelot Alexander	4.5 9/2(+36%)	(3) Camelot Alexander 9/2, 15/2 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy). Off 6 months. Makes handicap debut and more needed on bare form achieved as a juvenile. Ordinary 2yo form but could make up into a better 3yo; handicap debut.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/1 +38%) Cloud Seeker	5 5/1(+38%)	(8) Cloud Seeker 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 7/2) 11 days ago. Improved show on handicap debut (AW) but was well held and this looks stronger.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/8 +45%) Surfers Paradise	1.375 11/8(+45%)	(1) Surfers Paradise 11/8, Lightly-raced maiden. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 16 days ago. Shortlist material with fitness assured. Encouraging fourth on handicap debut behind the thrown-in Chantilly.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 -33%) Kisiyra	4 4/1(-33%)	(2) Kisiyra 4/1, 20/1, second of 11 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, heavy), better placed than most. Off 176 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut and bred to improve for this trip. In her last run she finished within 2l of one who later ran well in a Group 3.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -400%) Nika Pika	25 25/1(-400%)	(6) Nika Pika 25/1, Good second of 6 in handicap at Cork (7f, heavy, 15/2) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip and will need to settle to see this out. Second over 7f at Cork; has stamina to prove over this far and conditions will be testing.
6th	4 6th (4) (8/1 -60%) Ringside Timing	8 8/1(-60%)	(4) Ringside Timing 8/1, Creditable third of 6 in handicap (13/8) at Cork (7f, heavy) 24 days ago. Significantly back up in trip, which will help. Now 0-8 but returning to further should suit on both running style and pedigree.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 -213%) I'll Rise	50 50/1(-213%)	(7) I'll Rise 50/1, Hooded for first time, seventh of 9 in maiden (150/1) at Naas (8f, heavy) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut. No better than seventh in her qualifying runs and will need to settle better than at Naas.
8th	5 8th (5) (50/1 -100%) Sportingsilvermine	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Sportingsilvermine 50/1, 40/1, first run since leaving Adrian Brendan Joyce when eleventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (6f) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Has work to do. His handicap debut on the AW 18 days ago was thoroughly underwhelming.

KISIYRA could improve for going a bit further this season. The Sea The Moon filly was placed in a couple of maidens last year and it was a good run when chasing home Everlasting at Galway in a decent contest last October. She is fitted with cheekpieces on her return and a mark of 79 doesn't look harsh. Colin Keane takes the mount on Nika Pika again after a good run to chase home Uncle Albert at Cork late last month. The Estidhkaar filly had Ringside Timing a length-and-a-quarter back in third then. Jim Bolger's charge was dropped a pound after that run and is now ridden by an inexperienced 10lb claimer.

SURFERS PARADISE stuck pretty well to his task when fourth in a better handicap than this a fortnight ago and with that reappearance under his belt, he's just about the most persuasive option. Ringside Timing should relish this trip and is feared most, ahead of Kisiyra.

This can go to SURFERS PARADISE who ran a pleasing race on his handicap debut at Leopardstown behind the thrown-in Chantilly.

17:45 Gowran Park Handicap 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:15 Gowran Park Handicap 10f - 17 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (7/1 +65%) Annexation	7 7/1(+65%)	(13) Annexation 7/1, Course winner. Tenth of 14 in handicap (40/1) at Dundalk (8f). Off 172 days. Versatile sort, probably needs better ground than this, seldom at his best last year.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 +26%) Duke Of Leggagh	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(1) Duke Of Leggagh 10/3, 5/1, respectable third of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 13 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Hard to win with but is suited by heavy ground, recent Leopardstown third was encouraging.
3	5 3rd (5) (33/1 -32%) A Shin Undine	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) A Shin Undine 33/1, C&D winner. First run since leaving Paul O'Flynn when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy, 40/1) 13 days ago. C&D winner on soft ground last May for Sneezy Foster, in rear on recent stable debut.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 +45%) Sixpack	6 6/1(+45%)	(4) Sixpack 6/1, 11/1, bit below form eighth of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 16 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Runner-up over C&D last June, needs to reverse recent Leopardstown form with Roderick.
5th	15 5th (15) (22/1 -57%) Jawhary	22 22/1(-57%)	(15) Jawhary 22/1, 25/1, first run since leaving Matthew J. Smith when fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f) 11 days ago, barely adequate test. Has work to do. Has dropped in the ratings and shaped quite well on stable debut at Dundalk.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 +0%) Red Trail	14 14/1(+0%)	(8) Red Trail 14/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. 12/1 and hooded for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, heavy). Off 6 months. Can make presence felt if on-song. C&D winner on soft last year, also won at Down Royal, well below best on final 2023 outing.
7th	11 7th (11) (14/1 +0%) Arch Enemy	14 14/1(+0%)	(11) Arch Enemy 14/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 11/1). Off 165 days and she's probably worth taking on. All three turf wins have come on good ground and has also won on AW, heavy ground a worry.
8th	12 8th (12) (100/1 -300%) Roman Harry	100 100/1(-300%)	(12) Roman Harry 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, last of 11 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good to firm). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving James McAuley. Makes handicap debut. Needs others to falter. Third in a 1m2f claimer for Ger Lyons, two runs over shorter trips before joining new yard.
9th	17 9th (17) (10/1 -43%) Still Rolling	10 10/1(-43%)	(17) Still Rolling 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 14/1, third of 5 in minor event at Cork (7f, heavy) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Needs a couple of these to falter. Hard to assess the merit of her Cork third, may slot into handicap company effectively.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (14/1 -75%) Quantum Light	14 14/1(-75%)	(10) Quantum Light 14/1, 10/1, below form fourth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Placed off higher marks at last season's Galway festival, interesting after Dundalk fourth.
10th	9 10th (9) (22/1 -57%) Bear Profit	22 22/1(-57%)	(9) Bear Profit 22/1, 3/1, bit below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f). Off 6 months and significantly up in trip on first run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams. Both wins for Stuart Williams were on AW, heavy going may not suit for Irish debut.
11th	2 11th (2) (5/1 -11%) Givemehoperosa	5 5/1(-11%)	(2) Givemehoperosa 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Leopardstown in October. 17/2, creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Leopardstown (10f, heavy) 13 days ago. Closely matched with Duke Of Leggagh on recent form and is less exposed than that rival.
12th	6 12th (6) (22/1 -100%) Evolving	22 22/1(-100%)	(6) Evolving 22/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Lyon La Soie (11.9f, 12/10). Off 145 days. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Francis-Henri Graffard. Not taken lightly. Soft-ground winner over an extended 1m6f in France, has never raced below 1m4f.
13th	3 13th (3) (17/2 -13%) Roderick	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(3) Roderick 17/2, Good third of 20 in handicap (25/1) at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 16 days ago. Merits consideration. Showed that long-priced Dundalk second was not a fluke with a good run at Leopardstown.
14th	14 14th (14) (28/1 -100%) Mulgrave	28 28/1(-100%)	(14) Mulgrave 28/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. 50/1, ninth of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 16 days ago, having hopeless task from position. Chance if rediscovering old form. Six-time winner on AW; 0-16 on turf and placed only once, mid-field on latest.
15th	16 15th (16) (33/1 -106%) Young Lucy	33 33/1(-106%)	(16) Young Lucy 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 16f in bumpers. Seventh of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, soft, 33/1) 170 days ago. Off 170 days. Tongue strap back on. Makes handicap debut. Bumper winner at Cork last May; best of three maidens run was over 1m4f at Galway.
16th	7 16th (7) (100/1 -150%) One Boss	100 100/1(-150%)	(7) One Boss 100/1, 50/1, first run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when last of 20 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 16 days ago. Needs to bounce back. 15-race maiden, placed six times for Jessica Harrington, struggled on seasonal/yard debut.

STILL ROLLING was obviously flattered to get as close as she did to One Look in Cork late last month but it was still a decent run and she looks capable of scoring off this kind of mark now in handicap company. Duke Of Leggagh was eased a pound after a solid run to finish third to Mr Rango at Leopardstown 13 days ago and could be a big player here now. He had Givemehoperosa half a length behind then. Jack Davison claims 5lb off his filly now, with James Ryan getting the leg up, and is another that has to be in the mix.

This looks wide open. Preference is for DUKE OF LEGGAGH, who posted his best effort for a while when third under Wesley Joyce at Leopardstown recently and, down another 1 lb, he has slipped to workable mark. Roderick also performed well in a Leopardstown handicap last time and he is feared most ahead of French import Evolving, Quantum Light and handicap debutante Still Rolling.

Fourth on her handicap debut at Leopardstown, GIVEMEHOPEROSA\ can turn the tables on third-placed \bDuke Of Leggagh

Half-sister to winner up to 11f in Spain Grazalema. 14/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) on debut. Off 6 months. Open to improvement. Irish 1,000 Guineas entry who shaped nicely in a Leopardstown maiden in October.

3	3 3rd (3) (1/4 +60%) Soul Of Spain	0.25 1/4(+60%)	(3) Soul Of Spain 1/4, Foaled March 21. €50,000 yearling, €160,000 2-y-o, Phoenix of Spain colt. Half-brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Castlebar and winner up to 5.5f Napa Spirit. Promising type. Second of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (9f, soft, 10/1) on debut, faring best of those held up.

SOUL OF SPAIN should prove hard to beat. He got up for second on debut at the Curragh in October and took a lot of credit from that performance, particularly as the winner was good enough to then finish a close third in a Group 1 in France. Soul Of Spain holds an Irish Derby entry. Cheeky Wink has some notable entries including in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, so it is reasonable to assume she has progressed over the winter after a fifth place on debut at Leopardstown in October. Daboya and Mickey Cohen are two newcomers who could have a say in proceedings.

SOUL OF SPAIN made a promising start at the Curragh 6 months ago and is the one to beat. Daboya is the interesting newcomer, while once-raced Cheeky Wink is likely to take a step forward.

Irish Derby entry SOUL OF SPAIN entered many notebooks when a closing second to the high-class Illinois at the Curragh last season.

CARLO BIANCONI can make it third-time lucky. Joseph O'Brien's charge has finished a close second in both maidens to date and should play a leading role. Interestingly, he holds an entry in the valuable Chester Cup next month. The lowest-rated horse in that race last year was on a mark of 87, so Carlo Bianconi would likely need a victory to get in as he's rated 78. Neptunes Staircase is a worthy opponent. He lost out by a neck in Navan and by a nose at the Curragh, so wouldn't be winning out of turn. Furthermore, trip and ground are fine for him. Firebrand was beaten a length into second over hurdles at Cork in March and it is worth noting that he was runner-up on the Flat in France last year. Johanna Whitty is likely to improve from her unplaced seasonal reappearance at the Curragh on Saturday.

CARLO BIANCONI went close on both his starts in maidens, including on his comeback at Dundalk 12 weeks ago, and can find the required improvement to beat Away To The Sea, who often runs in handicaps. Neptunes Staircase and Johanna Whitty are best of the others.

Runner-up over C&D a year ago and on his return at Dundalk last month, CARLO BIANCONI has good prospects of going one better.

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.
