13:35 Gowran Park Stakes 7f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (13/2 -30%) Quar Shamar	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(4) Quar Shamar 13/2, Won at Dundalk on return in April 2023. Sixth in Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh (4 lengths behind Paddington) next time but poor after. Off 8 months/gelded. Remains unexposed. Way below form final two starts last year; gelded since; needs better ground than this.
1	2 1st (2) (2/1 -100%) I Am Superman	2 2/1(-100%)	(2) I Am Superman 2/1, Well-backed 7/2, won 9-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f) under this rider 153 days ago. Showed smart form on turf in Australia in 2022 and that win suggests that ability is intact. Strong claims on these terms. Dual Group 2 winner in Australia; AW winner when last seen; handles ground; big chance.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 +88%) Fiscal Rules	2 2/1(+88%)	(1) Fiscal Rules 2/1, Useful gelding. Off 3 years, 80/1, tenth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 19 days ago, making late gains without being subjected to a hard ride. Interesting on best form on these terms if building on that comeback. Decent run in a Curragh handicap off a break; has a bit to find with the best of these.
3	3 3rd (3) (2/1 +20%) Laugh A Minute	2 2/1(+20%)	(3) Laugh A Minute 2/1, Useful gelding. Won 14-runner handicap (10/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 10 days ago under this rider. Respected. Won at Naas over 6f last time; placed form at this trip and on heavy ground; can run well.
4	5 4th (5) (14/1 +58%) Lady Of Inishfree	14 14/1(+58%)	(5) Lady Of Inishfree 14/1, Fairly useful mare. Off 20 months, well-beaten eighth of 10 to Brilliant in Park Express Stakes (33/1) at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 52 days ago. Hard to fancy. Tailed-off in a Group 3 on return from a long layoff; has questions to answer now.

A tricky contest. I AM SUPERMAN is the highest rated, but would prefer better ground. He does have one notable piece of form on heavy ground when runner-up in a Group 1 Handicap in Australia, so could be worth chancing on his return to action. Conversely, Laugh A Minute will love the ground, but this hasn't been his trip for some time and could stretch him. He is match-fit from a victory over an extended 5f at Naas last month, though. Fiscal Rules is entitled to come on from his unplaced run at the Curragh having been off for almost three years, while the talented Quar Shamar would prefer better ground.

I AM SUPERMAN won well at Dundalk when last seen in December and has a good chance on these terms if in the same sort of form. Quar Shamar might be the danger.

Proven at the trip and in this ground, I AM SUPERMAN(nap) was a dual Group 2 winner in Australia and goes well fresh

13:35 Gowran Park Stakes 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Gowran Park Handicap 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
5	5 (5) (5/2 +0%) Dark Viper	2.5 5/2(+0%)	(5) Dark Viper 5/2, Bright start for new yard, runner-up in handicaps at the Curragh/Naas in March. Not in quite the same form when sixth of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (6f) 18 days ago but he appeals as being on a good mark and remains one to be interested in. Three similar runs in defeat lately, latest over 6f; this trip perhaps suits better.
1	1 (1) (11/1 +21%) Always Love You	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) Always Love You 11/1, Aclaim filly. 12/1, first run since leaving Darryll Holland when creditable fourth of 10 in maiden at Sligo (5.7f, good to soft) 4 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut. Running on in a Sligo 5.5f maiden four days ago; run well if this doesn't come too soon.
10	10 (10) (40/1 -21%) Grand Citadel	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Grand Citadel 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy, 66/1) 18 days ago. Blinkered for 1st time. Much more needed. Running on over 6f in a Curragh handicap last time; up in trip with blinkers should help.
1	6 1st (6) (9/4 +32%) Victor's Choice	2.25 9/4(+32%)	(6) Victor's Choice 9/4, 7/1, very good second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 15 days ago. That was her best effort yet and she's one of the likelier types with a repeat. Second on return in a C&D handicap under this rider; raised 2lb for that but go close.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 +0%) I Bid You Ajou	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) I Bid You Ajou 9/2, Shalaa gelding. 10/11 and hooded for 1st time, respectable third of 9 in handicap at Dundalk (7f) 55 days ago. Not discounted returned to turf for all he does need to prove his effectiveness on ground this testing. Settled better in the hood last time; Keane stays aboard; a player if handling conditions.
3	9 3rd (9) (3/1 +81%) Private Officer	3 3/1(+81%)	(9) Private Officer 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, creditable sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 15 days ago, plugging on. May sharpen up for that run here. Was 6.5l behind Victor's Choice in a C&D handicap on return; can be more involved.
4	8 4th (8) (12/1 -50%) Chou Chou	12 12/1(-50%)	(8) Chou Chou 12/1, Fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 25/1) 15 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Was 3.5l behind Victor's Choice; over C&D last time; down 3lb so could get closer today.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 +56%) Lorr's Girl	11 11/1(+56%)	(7) Lorr's Girl 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f) 26 days ago. Makes turf debut. Tongue strap on 1st time. Poor last time; untested in these conditions but sire's progeny often handle them.
6th	3 6th (3) (13/2 +59%) Au Lait	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(3) Au Lait 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 18/1) 10 days ago, racing off the pace and never involved. That was her first start for 7 months and this ought to reveal more. Never a factor on return over 6f at Naas but this suits better and considered.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 +25%) Harry The Rogue	9 9/1(+25%)	(4) Harry The Rogue 9/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 8/1) 15 days ago, dropping away final 1f. Others more persuasive. Weakened on return over C&D but should improve from that; has a squeak if at best..

DARK VIPER can oblige on his fourth start this season. He posted two runner-up finishes in the Curragh and over this trip at Naas, and wasn't beaten far when last seen finishing sixth in a massive field at the Curragh. Plenty of cut in the ground is very suitable for him. The last couple of times that Wayne Hassett has partnered Victor's Choice she has finished runner-up in Galway and over C&D. I Bid You Ajou has to prove he wants this ground, but would be a contender if he handles it while Always Love You could improve from a fourth place in Sligo last weekend.

DARK VIPER and Victor's Choice both appeal as being on handy marks judged on recent exploits and rate the pair to focus on, with the former shading the vote to come out on top. I Bid You Ajou can do best of the remainder.

Runner-up over C&D on return, finishing ahead of several of these rivals, VICTOR'S CHOICE can go one better today.

14:10 Gowran Park Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:40 Gowran Park Handicap 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (3/1 +40%) Cage Rattler	3 3/1(+40%)	(9) Cage Rattler 3/1, 8/1, below form eighth of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 18 days ago. This less competitive. Trip too short latest, previous Leopardstown second to Manhattan Dandy reads well.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +43%) Passionate	4 4/1(+43%)	(1) Passionate 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving J. A. Stack when seventh of 23 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 19 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Encouraging seasonal return; drop in trip to suit and possible improver on handicap debut.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/2 -64%) Manhattan Dandy	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(3) Manhattan Dandy 9/2, Latest win at Leopardstown in April. Respectable third of 16 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 9/2) 15 days ago. Has good chance on form. Recent C&D third considered again but more needed.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 -78%) Hope And Innocence	16 16/1(-78%)	(6) Hope And Innocence 16/1, Good sixth of 16 in handicap at this C&D (soft, 16/1) 15 days ago. Bit more encouraging over C&D a fortnight ago but bit to find with a couple of rivals.
5th	8 5th (8) (11/2 +21%) Adhuil	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(8) Adhuil 11/2, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Not clear run when tenth of 19 in handicap (7/1) at Naas (8f, soft) 10 days ago, finishing with running left. Can give a good account. Penultimate second over C&D puts him in the mix.
6th	10 6th (10) (80/1 -400%) Bellick	80 80/1(-400%)	(10) Bellick 80/1, 14/1 and visored for 1st time, seventh of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (7f). Off 141 days. Both turf wins have been over shorter; back from a break and wants better ground.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/2 +45%) Leviosa	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(11) Leviosa 11/2, Course winner. One win from 22 Flat runs. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 14½ lengths twelfth of 14 to Manhattan Dandy in handicap (6/1) at Bellewstown (7.8f, heavy). Off 7 months. Absent since September and this trip on the short side.
8th	4 8th (4) (7/1 +22%) Arthur's Victory	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Arthur's Victory 7/1, 40/1, below form tenth of 19 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. No show on recent Flat return; blinkers now fitted and probably wants better ground.
9th	7 9th (7) (50/1 -213%) Scarlet Dancer	50 50/1(-213%)	(7) Scarlet Dancer 50/1, One win from 36 Flat runs. 33/1, first run since leaving James McAuley when twenty third of 27 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, heavy) 18 days ago. Hood back on. Recent Curragh comeback run was poor (slowly away); others preferred.
10th	5 10th (5) (125/1 -150%) Esticky End	125 125/1(-150%)	(5) Esticky End 125/1, Unreliable sort. 80/1, first run since leaving David & Nicola Barron when last of 19 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 10 days ago. Recent Naas comeback run leaves him with plenty to find.
11th	2 11th (2) (80/1 -100%) Viva Voce	80 80/1(-100%)	(2) Viva Voce 80/1, First run since leaving David & Nicola Barron when fifteenth of 19 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 80/1) 10 days ago. Now below last winning mark. Never sighted on recent yard debut; entitled to come on for that but still best watched.

PASSIONATE is a well-bred filly who could exploit a mark of 63 in her first handicap. There was some promise in her seventh in a big field at the Curragh and that form is working out well. She goes to work from the best draw in stall one. The experienced Manhattan Dandy arrives in form after a victory at Leopardstown and a third place over C&D. Adhuil has put in his best performances at this track in more recent times, so should give Rebecca Parsons a good spin. A change of headgear can spark improvement in low-grade handicaps so Arthur's Victory, in blinkers and with the champion jockey booked, might show more.

MANHATTAN DANDY shaped as if still in good form bidding to defy a 5 lb rise when third of 16 over C&D 2 weeks ago so remains of interest. Cage Rattler will find this easier than the Curragh and is feared most ahead of Adhuil.

Very little between ARDHUIL and Manhattan Dandy on recent C&D form, the former narrowly preferred

14:40 Gowran Park Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:10 Gowran Park Claimer 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (150/1 -50%) King Of The Bronx	150 150/1(-50%)	(1) King Of The Bronx 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in maiden (200/1) at the Curragh (10f, heavy) 19 days ago. Beaten a long way on his three maiden starts up to 1m2f and isn't easy to make a case for.
2	7 2nd (7) (33/1 -65%) Dynamite Defense	33 33/1(-65%)	(7) Dynamite Defense 33/1, €12,500 foal, €7,000 yearling, National Defense gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including winner up to 12.5f That's Crazy and 9f/1¼m winner Ellerman. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Second runner for yard; best watched unless the market says otherwise.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -100%) Latin	11 11/1(-100%)	(2) Latin 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden for Aidan O'Brien (fair form). Below-form eighth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 33/1) on return 62 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Lesser Dundalk effort on debut for this yard but handles soft and go well down in class.
4	9 4th (9) (7/1 +18%) Your Out Of Line	7 7/1(+18%)	(9) Your Out Of Line 7/1, Twice-raced maiden. Twelfth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 125/1) 19 days ago. Player on these terms down in class. Ran green but only 4.75l behind last time; yard does well at this course, so a player.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/3 +52%) Moutarde	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(5) Moutarde 10/3, Modest gelding. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Naas in April. 7/2, below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Back down in trip. A non-stayer over 1m2f 4 days ago; a player back to a mile if this doesn't come too soon.
6th	11 6th (11) (50/1 -488%) She's Smart	50 50/1(-488%)	(11) She's Smart 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, soft, 80/1) 10 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hooded for 1st time. Poor in two starts for this yard and needs a major revival in the first-time hood.
7th	4 7th (4) (8/1 -23%) Go Girl Go	8 8/1(-23%)	(4) Go Girl Go 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, sixth of 8 in novice event at Dundalk (7f) 90 days ago. Has the rating to run well but has to prove she handles this ground and trip.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -100%) The Expert	50 50/1(-100%)	(8) The Expert 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 125/1, third of 8 in maiden at this course (7f, soft) 15 days ago. A 15l third over 7f at this course last time and has to better that even dropping in grade.
9th	3 9th (3) (6/1 -140%) Alto Sax	6 6/1(-140%)	(3) Alto Sax 6/1, Fair gelding. Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap (10/3) at Dundalk (10.7f) 27 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Should go well on pick of form. Appeared not to stay 1m2f last time but has a shout if handling these conditions.
10th	10 10th (10) (40/1 -21%) Judicial Reward	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Judicial Reward 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighteenth of 19 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 18/1) 10 days ago. Was poor in a handicap at Navan last time and isn't easy to make a case for.
11th	6 11th (6) (6/4 +77%) Sylkie	1.5 6/4(+77%)	(6) Sylkie 6/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (8/1) at Sligo (10.6f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Respected. Ran in snatches at Sligo four days ago; blinkers replace cheekpieces but a player if help.
12th	12 12th (12) (50/1 +24%) Walkswiththestars	50 50/1(+24%)	(12) Walkswiththestars 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, thirteenth of 18 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Has more chance in this grade but still needs to find improvement in the first-time visor.

GO GIRL GO has prospects up in trip and dropped into a claimer. She has posted two runner-up finishes, from her six outings, in Navan (where she handled cut in the ground) and in Dundalk. Sylkie was third over an extended 1m2f in Sligo on Sunday and also has placed form over 7f, so this trip shouldn't inconvenience her. Moutarde won a handicap over a mile on penultimate start in Naas and perhaps found the trip too far in Sligo when he finished two places behind Sylkie, while Alto Sax has enough form in the book to make him a player, but this ground doesn't look ideal.

It could be worth chancing YOUR OUT OF LINE on these terms down in class. Alto Sax is an obvious threat back down in trip with Latin another to consider.

Having posted a much better effort over 7f at the Curragh last time, YOUR OUT OF LINE could improve enough to take this lesser event.

15:10 Gowran Park Claimer 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:45 Gowran Park Handicap 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
2	2 (2) (6/1 +14%) Lan Cinnte	6 6/1(+14%)	(2) Lan Cinnte 6/1, Fifteenth of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 16/1) 52 days ago. Comeback Curragh run was her first start on heavy and inconclusive; yard in good form.
10	10 (10) (16/1 -33%) Everylittlestep	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Everylittlestep 16/1, Course winner. Last of 8 in handicap at this course (7f, soft, 10/1) 15 days ago. Better than comeback run suggests and dropped 3lb so don't rule out.
1	4 1st (4) (7/2 +22%) Simply Sideways	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(4) Simply Sideways 7/2, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 16 in handicap (12/1) at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 19 days ago, better placed than most. Has good chance on form. Just respectable runs this season; bit to find but don't rule out.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/2 +56%) Independent Expert	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(7) Independent Expert 7/2, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Cork in March. 14/1, creditable eighth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 19 days ago, never nearer. Respected. . Not clear run at Curragh so remains a leading player.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/2 +38%) Fast Tara	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(1) Fast Tara 5/2, 9/1, first run since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when creditable fifth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy) 19 days ago, well positioned. Looks competitive on form. Likes it heavy, recent Curragh run makes her a major player off same mark.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +20%) Lady Lunette	8 8/1(+20%)	(3) Lady Lunette 8/1, C&D winner. Fourteenth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 40/1) 19 days ago, not clear run. C&D maiden winner but recent form on heavy doesn't augur well.
5th	8 5th (8) (20/1 +39%) Queenie St Clair	20 20/1(+39%)	(8) Queenie St Clair 20/1, 33/1 and visored for 1st time, sixteenth of 21 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. Hood back on. No better than midfield in three runs for this yard and hard to fancy despite reduced mark.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/2 -29%) Perfect Poise	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(6) Perfect Poise 9/2, 8/1, good second of 14 in handicap at Leopardstown (8f, heavy) 32 days ago. Can give a good account. Career-high on last month's seasonal debut when only denied final strides at Leopardstown.
7th	9 7th (9) (66/1 -100%) Belles Feuilles	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Belles Feuilles 66/1, 66/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Back down in trip. Best French form over further; recent form none too encouraging.
8th	5 8th (5) (18/1 +10%) First Snow Moon	18 18/1(+10%)	(5) First Snow Moon 18/1, Eleventh of 16 in handicap at Chantilly (9.4f, 27/1). Off 177 days. First run for yard after leaving S. Wattel. French winner for whom encouraging jockey booking for yard debut and market informative.

FAST TARA could be up to defying top weight. She kept very good company since winning her maiden in Cork last year and wasn't beaten far into fifth in a valuable handicap at the Curragh on her first start for Joseph O'Brien last month. She holds a Group 2 entry for this month. Independent Expert was only just behind her in eighth in that aforementioned race and has to be respected, while Perfect Poise was only collared close home in Leopardstown and improvement should be forthcoming. First Snow Moon won a fillies' maiden in France almost a year ago and the market should be informative ahead of her Irish debut.

SIMPLY SIDEWAYS and Fast Tara weren't beaten far in a better race than this at the Curragh last time so both are likely to go well, the former shading the vote. Perfect Poise was a good second at Leopardstown on her comeback and is another to consider.

Although raisd 4lb for her recent Leopardstown second PERFECT POISE can land a second career win

15:45 Gowran Park Handicap 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:15 Gowran Park Maiden 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
7	7 (7) (9/1 +0%) Sobriety Blue	9 9/1(+0%)	(7) Sobriety Blue 9/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Fourth of 8 in minor event at Dundalk (7f, 11/1) 90 days ago, fading final 100 yds. Claims of hitting the frame back from a break/returned to turf. Not sure this stamina test will suit and probably more one for handicaps in due course.
1	1 (1) (11/2 -22%) Aratayvo	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(1) Aratayvo 11/2, Much improved from debut when runner-up in a Naas maiden (7f) in September. Unable to get competitive in big field sales race at the Curragh later that month but he's probably capable of better now embarking on his 3-y-o career. Naas second last season makes him a contender if handling the conditions.
1	8 1st (8) (4/1 +60%) Vestigia	4 4/1(+60%)	(8) Vestigia 4/1, Lightly-raced colt. Creditable sixth of 15 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 15/2). Off 6 months. Guineas' entry ambitious but every chance here on best 2yo form.
2	4 2nd (4) (50/1 -127%) Judge Me Not	50 50/1(-127%)	(4) Judge Me Not 50/1, Once-raced colt. 14/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at Dundalk (6f) on debut 26 days ago. Probably one for later on. Never counted on last month's Dundalk debut, likely to need more time.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/5 +60%) Ata Rangi	1.2 6/5(+60%)	(2) Ata Rangi 6/5, Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 18 in maiden at Cork (8f, good to soft, 4/1) 13 days ago, not unduly punished. Open to further improvement. Promising Cork comeback run and won't need to improve too much to play a major role here.
4	13 4th (13) (18/1 +10%) Punta Coco	18 18/1(+10%)	(13) Punta Coco 18/1, Thrice-raced filly. Last of 10 in maiden (18/1) at Dundalk (7f) 26 days ago, weakening before final 1f and eased off. Not one to write off given she had shaped with promise on her previous run in January. Some Dundalk promise but likely more one for handicaps.
5th	11 5th (11) (20/1 -25%) Gangster Granny	20 20/1(-25%)	(11) Gangster Granny 20/1, Holy Roman Emperor filly who improved on debut form when sixth of 12 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 28/1) in October. In good hands and likely to do better again but she's probably one for handicaps. Two ordinary Dundalk runs at two; eligible for a mark after this.
6th	12 6th (12) (5/2 -25%) Miss Tapley	2.5 5/2(-25%)	(12) Miss Tapley 5/2, Promising type. 8/15, third of 8 in maiden at this course (7f, heavy) 16 days ago, outpaced 2f out and keeping on. Step up to 1m promises to be in her favour on that evidence and she's one to be interested in. Comeback run here last month bit disappointing but step up in trip will suit here.
7th	6 7th (6) (28/1 -12%) Narragansett	28 28/1(-12%)	(6) Narragansett 28/1, €21,000 yearling, Inns of Court gelding. Closely related to useful 6f-8.3f winner Yorkshire Dales, and half-brother to smart 5f/6f winner Justice Day and 5f/6f winner Sounds of Spring. Makes appeal on paper and betting may guide as to expectations. Newcomer worth a market check although seemingly the stable second-choice.
8th	5 8th (5) (50/1 -52%) Mark's One	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) Mark's One 50/1, Twice-raced gelding. 125/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Type yard do well with in handicaps. Curragh run a small step in the right direction; eligible for a mark after this.
9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 -21%) You Played Well	80 80/1(-21%)	(9) You Played Well 80/1, €5,000 yearling, Harzand gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to US multiple 6f minor stakes winner Candy Bites. Likely best watched on debut. Cheaply bought yearling best watched on debut.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -25%) Boskill Carmel	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Boskill Carmel 50/1, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 12 in maiden (25/1) at this C&D (heavy) on debut 16 days ago, never better than midfield. Passed over here. Never counted on C&D debut last month, probably best watched for now.
11th	3 11th (3) (125/1 -89%) Gallopy Gallopy	125 125/1(-89%)	(3) Gallopy Gallopy 125/1, €15,000 yearling, Cable Bay gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including temperamental winner up to 11.5f Jackamundo and 2-y-o 7f winner Ballycommon. Wears tongue strap. Tongue-tied for debut and likely to benefit for the experience.

ATA RANGI made a promising debut on testing ground in a 20-runner maiden at the Curragh last back-end and the Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding also shaped well when reappearing again over a mile at Cork last month. Aratayvo's second to Bright Stripes in a Naas maiden last year received a timely boost when the winner landed the Tetrarch Stakes at the Curragh on Monday, while Miss Tapley is another for the shortlist having been placed on both outings over seven furlongs including when third behind Buttermere Ridge here last month. Vestigia and Sobriety Blue are others to note in a competitive maiden.

MISS TAPLEY found the test inadequate when third on her return over 7f here 16 days ago and with this step up to 1m very much in her favour on that evidence, she looks to hold sound claims with the prospect of more to come. Aratayvo and Ata Rangi are others to consider.

Bred to stay further, these testing conditions shoud suit ATA RANGI

16:50 Gowran Park Handicap 14f - 21 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
12	12 (12) (20/1 +20%) Intend	20 20/1(+20%)	(12) Intend 20/1, 15/2, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, good to soft). Off 9 months and another likely best guided by the betting here. Sole win came over this trip at Navan in 2022; has been off since last July.
14	14 (14) (33/1 -65%) Burvea	33 33/1(-65%)	(14) Burvea 33/1, Hooded for 1st time, creditable second of 14 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.6f, soft, 9/2) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Placed over hurdles last twice in testing ground; run well at times on the Flat; a squeak.
16	16 (16) (33/1 +0%) Mollys Glory	33 33/1(+0%)	(16) Mollys Glory 33/1, Fair winner at 23f over hurdles. Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, ninth of 11 in maiden (100/1) at Cork (10.2f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Switch to handicaps rates more suitable and the market may prove a useful guide. It wasn't a bad effort in a 1m2f Cork maiden last time; of some interest on handicap debut.
20	20 (20) (66/1 +0%) Albion Princess	66 66/1(+0%)	(20) Albion Princess 66/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10.7f, 14/1) 27 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Reserve 2. Turf and AW winner in UK but has been regressive in this country on AW; reserve.
21	21 (21) (66/1 +0%) Primitivo	66 66/1(+0%)	(21) Primitivo 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, tenth of 11 in maiden at Dundalk (10.7f). Off 99 days. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Reserve 3. Well beaten in three Dundalk maidens over the winter and others make more appeal; reserve.
1	1 1st (1) (5/1 -25%) Barrier	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) Barrier 5/1, Didn't need to be at best when winning 13-runner juvenile hurdle (30/100) at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Significantly up in trip returned to the Flat and she's worth considering. Hurdle winner last time and a fine Flat run over 1m previously; be better over this trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/2 +15%) Valleyoftheeagles	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(6) Valleyoftheeagles 11/2, 7/2 and blinkered for 1st time, very good second of 14 in handicap at this course (13.7f, soft) 15 days ago, running on and just failing. One to bear in mind with the blinkers again fitted. Close second here last time; raised 4lb for that but a player if in the same form.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +30%) Pigeon House	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(4) Pigeon House 7/2, 16/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, much improved when winning 24-runner handicap hurdle at Punchestown (16.4f, good to soft) 7 days ago, always holding on. Cheekpieces again fitted and respected returned to the Flat from an appealing mark. Won over hurdles at Punchestown last week; go close if this doesn't come too soon.
4	5 4th (5) (6/1 +40%) Make Good	6 6/1(+40%)	(5) Make Good 6/1, 18/1, creditable sixth of 19 in handicap at Navan (13f, good to soft) 12 days ago, running on late. Solid effort at Navan last time and is a player if building on that; handles heavy.
5th	9 5th (9) (17/2 +39%) Paradise Lost	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(9) Paradise Lost 17/2, Below form fifth of 11 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (17.2f, heavy, 9/2) 107 days ago. Off 107 days. Fair on the Flat, bit below form on last Flat outing. Some fair Flat efforts, including over 1m4f at this course last October (hvy).
6th	11 6th (11) (14/1 +13%) Firm Belief	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) Firm Belief 14/1, 40/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f) 85 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Return to this trip rates a plus and conditions will hold no fears so she's one to consider from easing mark. Won a Navan handicap over this trip last October; not at his best at Dundalk lately.
7th	7 7th (7) (15/2 +6%) Folly Beach	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(7) Folly Beach 15/2, One win from 25 Flat runs. Creditable seventh of 19 in handicap at Navan (13f, good to soft, 8/1) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not out of things with that run behind her. Two runner-up efforts at Dundalk over the winter and not a bad return at Navan; run well.
8th	13 8th (13) (11/1 +45%) Ricky Bobby	11 11/1(+45%)	(13) Ricky Bobby 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. 6/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cork (16f, heavy) 38 days ago. Fourth in a Curragh handicap over this trip last season; fit from hurdling; can run well.
9th	3 9th (3) (40/1 -100%) Inchiquin Star	40 40/1(-100%)	(3) Inchiquin Star 40/1, 6/1, sixth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (20.3f, heavy). Off 7 months. Fair on the Flat, respectable on last Flat run. Hurdle winner can be a player back on the Flat if ready after her absence.
10th	10 10th (10) (16/1 +0%) The Truant	16 16/1(+0%)	(10) The Truant 16/1, First run since leaving Peter Fahey when creditable sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (13.7f, soft, 10/1) 15 days ago, not knocked about. Not a bad comeback run/stable debut at this course last time and can be involved.
11th	18 11th (18) (40/1 -21%) Kashi	40 40/1(-21%)	(18) Kashi 40/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Sligo (13.1f, good to soft) 4 days ago. Cheekpieces back on now but others more persuasive. Maiden on the Flat and was poor at Sligo four days ago, so not easy to fancy.
12th	2 12th (2) (66/1 -100%) Spanish John	66 66/1(-100%)	(2) Spanish John 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Modest winner at 17f over hurdles. Eighth of 12 in maiden at this course (12.4f, heavy, 100/1) 16 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form. Not a bad maiden run here last time; doesn't look particularly well handicapped.
13th	8 13th (8) (100/1 -100%) Kings Prince	100 100/1(-100%)	(8) Kings Prince 100/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 150/1, pulled up in novice hurdle at Tramore (21.4f, good to soft) on NH debut 18 days ago (reportedly bled). Poor on last Flat outing. Pulled-up on hurdling debut last time; has a chance if back to form.
14th	19 14th (19) (100/1 -100%) Churchmouse	100 100/1(-100%)	(19) Churchmouse 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (8f, 100/1) 44 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Reserve 1. Best of three Dundalk maiden runs was over 1m4f; could go well; reserve.
15th	17 15th (17) (33/1 -106%) Highland Train	33 33/1(-106%)	(17) Highland Train 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, produced best effort yet when fourth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (16f) 44 days ago. This ease back in trip could well help now on that evidence and he remains low-mileage. Fourth in a 2m Dundalk handicap in March; can be a factor if building on that back on turf.
16th	15 16th (15) (28/1 -12%) Dark Miss	28 28/1(-12%)	(15) Dark Miss 28/1, 25/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (13.7f, soft) 15 days ago, no extra over 1f out. Tongue strap on 1st time and feasible to think she will be sharper with that run under her belt. Pleasing return when beaten 7l here two weeks ago; can build on that and get closer.

VALLEYOFTHEEAGLES won a maiden hurdle at Killarney this time last year on his second run back after a lengthy break and hopefully he can repeat the trick now on the Flat. The Martin Hassett-trained gelding only failed by a head to peg back Rumi when reappearing over C&D last month with Dark Miss and The Truant both behind. There is little to choose between Make Good and Folly Beach on running behind Nostra Casa in a 19-runner Navan handicap over a similar trip last month, while Highland Train ran well at Dundalk last time and has scope for further improvement. Pigeon House enters calculations having landed a highly competitive handicap hurdle at Punchestown last week.

A winner over hurdles recently, BARRIER very much appeals as the type to make her mark now her stamina is tested further returned to this sphere and Gordon Elliott's filly looks a live player in refitted cheekpieces. Pigeon House, a winner himself over hurdles at Punchestown last week, is similarly appealing from could well prove a lenient mark back on the Flat. Valleyoftheeagles and Folly Beach can also figure.

BARRIER comes here off the back of a maiden hurdle win following a fine run over an inadequate 1m at the Curragh.

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.
