BELLAMANO looks nicely weighted with 7lb claimer Patrick McGettigan booked. Johnny Murtagh's filly has been finishing her races well and has posted a couple of seconds, at this track and when just held by a neck in Galway. Gavin Cromwell's Invincible Will has also been placed on his last couple of starts and has to be respected, while top-weight Extravagant patently didn't run his race in the Curragh and now tries a new trip. Sara La Belle showed more in fourth in her first handicap at Galway (behind runner-up Invincible Will) and a hood could elicit more improvement.

A few with chances. CLARITY OF THOUGHT is capable of better than he showed when positively ridden at Down Royal.

COLLECTING COIN shed his maiden tag in good style at Galway and is one to look forward to. On his penultimate start at the Curragh, he was beaten a neck into second by a horse who now holds a Group 3 entry. Sujet was a beaten favourite in fourth at Galway but, prior to that, took top honours in a valuable handicap at the Curragh, which was a notable performance. Refreshment has had a very productive summer and it wouldn't be surprising to see him right in the thick of the action, while it would take a brave punter to rule the consistent Mathan out of contention in a competitive heat.

Connections of COLLECTING COIN (nap) were optimistic about his future prospects after winning his maiden at Galway. Sujet is feared.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This race is about whether a drop in class sparks the 113-rated EXPANDED back into form. He went into last winter with an enhanced reputation after just being beaten a neck in the Dewhurst at Newmarket. He has had two runs this season, in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket and the Irish equivalent at the Curragh, and finished out the back in both. If he is anywhere near his best, he ought to take plenty of beating. The admirable Fiery Lucy had a tough draw in Galway but, prior to that, had been very consistent. This is a tricky task for Queen Of The Bogs, but she did win a Curragh maiden by almost five lengths so is one to note.

Expanded comes with obvious question marks and is opposed here by the more reliable FIERY LUCY

There was a lot to like about SENTI QUA's runner-up finish in first-time cheekpieces at Dundalk. She was nicely clear of the third and as that was just her fifth career outing, there should be more to come. Star Mind made eyecatching headway to get up in Naas and has prospects of following up off 8lb higher. Touted Plan lost out by the minimum margin at Naas after running on strongly in the final furlong, so is a big player. Chavajod is just 1lb higher than his last winning mark and ran well in third at Galway, while Zaraahmando is most effective over 7f but cannot be ruled out.

Wide open but improving 3yos TOUTED PLAN and Senti Qua are taken against the field, both upped in trip here
Class & Speed Card

MON COEUR is a capable stayer who will relish every yard of this trip. He arrives on the back of a keeping-on second in the qualified riders' handicap on the opening day of the Galway Festival, while a never-nearer sixth in a good handicap at this track in May also strengthens his claims. Kilmeaden is up in trip after getting off the mark in a Galway handicap. He has one piece of very notable form, when runner-up in a Ballinrobe maiden in May behind the high-class Carmers. Comic Book has been extensively plying her trade in better company and has to rate a threat, while Mo Ghille Mar and Ragmans Corner will have plenty of supporters.

It may pay to forgive MO GHILLE MAR for Galway, when badly drawn, her previous Down Royal win looked good and she won here last year
Class & Speed Card

BEAR CREEK was a comfortable winner over 1m5f in Down Royal and ran creditably in third when upped in class at Galway, so he should be a major contender for honours here. Ehteyat is on a competitive mark and his fifth in another handicap in Galway can be marked up as he suffered a less-than-clear route. Beautiful Chaos was just in front of him in fourth and should also be in the hunt for prize money. Ger O'Leary landed this race last year and his Makaiah is more than capable of getting into contention.

Preference is for LADY KAI, who didn't get beyond the start last time but appeals on her previous form and was a winner here last year
Class & Speed Card

Not seen since finishing fourth in last October's Cesarewitch at Newmarket, a race he landed in 2022, Run For Oscar is clear on ratings but he's a 10-year-old now and his record when returning from an absence suggests he could be worth taking on. Obviously any market strength would cast doubt on the wisdom of that approach, but lightly-raced bumper winner SORRENTINO is the selection for Willie and Patrick Mullins. He ran well on his Flat debut when narrowly beaten by Gentleman Joe over 1m5f at Listowel in June and may be able to turn around form over this longer trip with that subsequent Leopardstown winner. Smart hurdler Enniskerry has useful Flat form and is in the mix as well.

If fit then Run For Oscar will take some beating but preference is for SORRENTINO who is closely matched with Gentleman Joe.

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.
