LTO Selection:

13:57 Naas Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There should be more to come from THE LOVELY MAN on his third start. He attracted support ahead of a promising debut fourth at Fairyhouse before Christmas, and the form of that race received a massive boost when the winner went on to land the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival. The Lovely Man then kept on for fifth at Naas after losing his place on a couple of occasions. By Your Side has been placed in three of his eight hurdle races and got closer to that elusive victory on his latest start when beaten a length and a half into second at Navan. Newcomer Splendid Choice has winners in his pedigree.

BY YOUR SIDE has had plenty of chances, but he continues to progress with experience so gets the nod to open his account at the expense of The Lovely Man, who shaped well in a couple of maiden hurdles in recent months and remains capable of better still. Night Sparkle, Red Trail and Step Into My Shoes are a handful of others to consider in a contest where the market will no doubt prove informative.

THE LOVELY MAN's form is working out well having finished in behind the first two home in the Fred Winter in two starts so far

LTO Selection:

14:32 Naas Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TROUBLED TIMES is taken to make a winning return. She wouldn't want the ground to get too deep, though, as she was scratched from a Grade 3 novice hurdle in Limerick this month due to soft ground. Her form really stacks up. She won her bumper on debut at Killarney last May and signed off in September with a Listed bumper victory (on yielding ground) at Gowran Park. In between those runs, she posted a runner-up berth over hurdles at Ballinrobe in July. Chautuaqua brings a solid level of form to the contest. A mistake at the last did her no favours in Navan as she dropped to fourth. That's a finishing berth she is getting accustomed to. Something Abouther has had her Limerick bumper win of November 2021 well endorsed in more recent times. She could show improvement on her third start over hurdles. Gordon Elliott's Emotional Damage is a newcomer to note.

TROUBLED TIMES, a listed bumper winner, shaped encouragingly in a brace of maiden hurdles last summer and is a straightforward choice to open her account in this sphere. Chautuaqua and Something Abouther are considered the main threats.

Preference is for SOMETHING ABOUTHER after a good run in a maiden hurdle at Gowran after 16 months off, though she needs to jump better

LTO Selection:

15:07 Naas Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Walhaan and Doyen Ta Win are more than able to force the pace, so this could be a proper test. In addition, they are both in winning form. ABBEYDALE holds an entry in a Grade A handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse next month which shows the regard he is held in. He turns up after staying on well to see it out best in a Gowran Park maiden hurdle. Nucky Johnson is reappearing after being promoted to first in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in November. The form of his four runs (two wins and two places) is very solid and he has won off a break before. Ludus could exploit a very light weight. Marelly has improved by well over a stone since October and has earned a shot at this prize.

An open-looking novice with NUCKY JOHNSON taken to continue the good work and follow up his Punchestown success. Doyen Ta Win's has been in tremendous form in handicap company and her slick jumping will continue to stand her in good stead, with the Gordon-Elliott pair Ludus and Abbeydale also interesting.

Preference is for the prolific DOYEN TA WIN, up 28lb for her three recent wins still improving with trip and ground in her favour

LTO Selection:

15:42 Naas Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CRAFTY GAEL catches the eye off a light weight. There was plenty of merit in his first two ventures into handicap company when he was a never-nearer sixth at Punchestown in January, before running well in second in a much better class of race over a similar trip at this track. Nemean is likely to be popular after staying on to get to within a neck of the winner at Wexford. That was on better ground, but he has form on yielding, yielding to soft in places. He gets a first-time tongue-strap. Dragon's Pass should be in there pitching in addition to Thurles winner Mahlers Cove and Take My Hand.

There should be more to come from NEMEAN, who upped his game when second at Wexford last time and remains low mileage in this sphere. Crafty Gael and Mahlers Cove head the list of dangers.

Preference is for CRAFTY GAEL(nap) who was a good second in a competitive contest here last month and looks progressive

16:17 Naas Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KALANISI DUBH finished unplaced when a big price for a Grade 3 novice hurdle in Clonmel, but this should be more to her liking. Her previous two runs saw her win at Down Royal before being beaten by a head at the same track. Thecornerhouse has turned the corner. She has sealed victories in her last couple of starts in Thurles and in Down Royal when notably strong on the run-in. She drops back in trip, but the question is whether the handicapper has her measure off 10lb higher. Memory Of Youth has claims on her third place over further in Fairyhouse. The Connector delivered in Punchestown and will have plenty of supporters. Miss Tempo is returning off a long absence, but was formerly useful.

Sure to prove strong form for the grade with THECORNERHOUSE, who is improving in leaps and bounds, just about the most persuasive option in her quest for the hat-trick. The Connector did it nicely at Punchestown and he's of serious interest again, while Clear The Clouds can be excused his latest run and his work remains a workable one.

It might be worth chancing JOSHUA CHAMBERLAIN who has shown ability and rates as a likely improver on handicap debut

16:52 Naas Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TANGENTAL has bright prospects. It could be argued that he was somewhat unlucky to lose by a head in Thurles after he was less than fluent at the last and stumbled badly on the run-in before rallying. The winner has since scored again and Tangental was eight lengths clear of the third home. Furthermore, he won his previous staying handicap at Clonmel. Morrie In D Quarry has been placed in two of his last three handicap hurdles and is capable of landing more prize money. My Friend The Wind reverts to hurdles from fences and has better claims than most. Duffys Getaway is better than he showed in Down Royal. A tongue-strap is tried on him. Townhill Penny could have a say, but would prefer better ground. Elsannah could improve for a step up in trip.

TANGENTAL is going the right way and was just denied at Thurles recently, so he makes most appeal for all that there are others open to improvement, notably Do Whatever, who should be suited by the longer trip. Townhill Penny is also worth considering if strong in the betting.

Tangental warrants respect but DO WHATEVER shades the vote with the potential for this new trip to yield improvement

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

MIRAZUR WEST is a full brother to the top-class Ferny Hollow who won the Cheltenham Festival Champion Bumper three years ago. This five-year-old gelding fell at the last when winning his point-to-point and has moved to Willie Mullins for his track career which is eagerly anticipated. Mahon's Way made a whopping 360,000 guineas at the Cheltenham November Sale after winning his point-to-point by a comfortable four lengths. He is certainly of interest on track debut for Henry de Bromhead. Ask Anything is a point-to-point winner who has had the benefit of a run in a bumper in which he finished fifth. He's My Hero showed promise when a close second in a point-to-point almost a year ago.

MIRAZUR WEST is a brother to Ferny Hollow and was in front when coming down at the last in a point, so he seems like the obvious way to go starting out for Willie Mullins. Mahon's Way, another expensive acquisition, looks the obvious danger in a race where those with bumper experience don't set the bar very high.

Preference is for Ferny Hollow's brother MIRAZUR WEST, who would have won a Dromahane point but for falling

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.
