A respectable fourth in a Group 3 race at the Curragh last month, AMELIA EARHART can score now dropped in class. Sent off favourite when a promising third at this track on debut, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly finished runner-up on her next two starts. Far from disgraced when pitched into Pattern company last time, the daughter of Camelot should appreciate stepping up in trip now. A half-sister to four black type horses, the well-bred Johnny Murtagh-trained Chasing Paradise has to be respected on her introduction. Her stable can often have one ready at the first time of asking. Musical Chimes and Camelot Queen also command respect on their respective debuts.

AMELIA EARHART, rated 94, has been expensive to follow but she possesses the best form on offer and is hard to oppose

A staying on second on his debut at the Curragh recently, ZIA ZABEL can go one place better. Prominent throughout, the Natalia Lupini-trained colt found plenty for pressure inside the final furlong, sticking to his task in admirable fashion. Racing over an additional furlong should really suit the son of Ghaiyyath here, while the benefit of that previous experience is certain to stand to him in good stead. Star Chamber improved on his initial outing to finish fourth at the Curragh in August. Keeping on late, the gelding gave the impression that he was still learning and could have more to offer. Il Corsaro could prove best of the Aidan O'Brien-trained trio.

The vote goes to ZIA ZABEL (nap), who shaped really well on his recent Curragh debut against a potentially smart sort

15:15 Leopardstown (Class 1) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Curragh maiden winner THREAD OF GOLD can back up that success. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding had been expected to improve for his initial outing but overcame trouble in running to score with something in hand. Entitled to be all the better for that experience, the son of Ghaiyyath should go close in what looks a competitive affair. Stepping up an additional two-furlongs is also likely to suit. Galway winner Piazza San Marco has to be respected on his third start. Showing vast improvement from his debut effort, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt should take another step forward. A Boy Named Susie has disappointed of late but looked very smart when making a winning introduction at Killarney.

PIAZZA SAN MARCO, an impressive all the way winner on soft at Galway last time, is narrowly preferred over Christmas Day

With an official rating of 98, MINERVA should take plenty of beating in this grade. Third in a Group 3 at the Curragh last month, the Aidan O'Brien-trained daughter of Frankel reverts to maiden company on her seventh career start. Twice a runner-up earlier in the season, the form of those two particular races have worked out exceptionally well in the interim. It will be disappointing if the filly fails to take advantage of this opportunity. A half-sister to a black type horse, the Johnny Murtagh-trained debutant Divine Legand has to be a contender on her racecourse debut. Take A Bow, a stablemate of the selection, also merits attention in first-time blinkers.

Although still a maiden after six attempts MINERVA sets a high standard and is hard to oppose

16:20 Leopardstown (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Goffs Million winner DORSET can land his first black type victory. A maiden winner at the Curragh in June, the form of that race was well advertised when the second won a Group 2 race subsequently. Highly tried in two starts after that breakthrough success, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt created a very favourable impression when landing that aforementioned sales race last month. He deserves the chance to prove that he belongs at this level. Impressive Curragh maiden winner Mumhan also has to be of definite interest. Jim Bolger knows what it takes to train a leading juvenile and he rates this son of Mehmas highly. Daytona also holds every chance.

Ballydoyle representatives DAYTONA and Dorset have identical official ratings, the former getting the vote back on easier ground

A full-brother to Irish 1000 Guineas winner Lake Victoria, DRUIDS GLEN catches the eye on debut. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt is making his first start at a relatively late stage of the season but connections are obviously keen to get a race into him on turf. It would be no surprise to see him land this prize, before possibly having one run at a higher level next month. Fifth at the Curragh earlier this month, the Aidan Melia-trained Unauthorized arguably has the best form of those with previous experience. While the colt will need to improve further, he has place possibilities at least. The Johnny Murtagh-trained newcomer Zenford is also worthy of respect.

This doesn't look the strongest of maidens for the venue and Lake Victoria's brother DRUIDS GLEN can make a winning debut

RIVER ARA should be competitive from an opening mark of 85, especially given that Jack Cleary can ease the burden with his 5lb claim. She finished runner-up in a fillies' maiden at Cork last month behind a subsequent Group 3 winner, which is a notable piece of form. She then stayed on for third when upped in trip to 1m on her next visit to Cork. Cherry Hill Girl forged on well for a wide-margin success over 1m on heavy ground in Listowel so any rain will be music to her ears. Invincible Will has plenty of experience and made the breakthrough when last seen at the Curragh, while Hamiyan's last two placed efforts bring him into the mix.

Only getting going late on over this trip at Cork last time RIVER ARA looks to have more to offer at this distance and gets the vote

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.
