CIAO FOR NOW made a pleasing debut at Leopardstown last week and gets the vote to go one better. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly showed pace throughout and didn't enjoy the clearest of runs in the straight when beating all bar Making Time, With Annie Luck about seven lengths behind, and should be suited by this drop in trip. Kiki Roberts stepped forward from her debut when third at Bellewstown over a mile and it will be interesting to see how she copes back down in distance while Auburn Avenue made an encouraging start in a big field maiden at the Curragh. The market should prove a guide to the relative merits of the newcomers of which Lively Set and Enola Nation may prove the pick.

This can go to CIAO FOR NOW, who made a pleasing racecourse bow at Leopardstown last month and should have learnt plenty from that experience. Kiki Roberts and Auburn Avenue look the likeliest dangers.

The market will be a guide to the newcomers but CIAO FOR NOW is the clear pick of those that have run and sets a decent standard

STORM MIAMI beat Asean on debut at Naas and has performed with plenty of credit on both outings since in Listed races. She was just touched off by Tiger Belle at the same venue and that form received a timely boost when the winner landed a Group 3 at Longchamp on Thursday. Jack Kearney takes a valuable 7lb off the topweight while stablemate Mr Saturday has failed to progress since filling the runner-up spot on his opening two starts. Megarry showed the benefit of previous experience when landing a 23-runner maiden at the Curragh, while Gloucester also comes here off the back of a win having quickened up nicely to score at Cork.

MEGARRY was right at home back at 6f when landing a big-field maiden at the Curragh a fortnight ago and he's just about the one to beat on these terms. Gloucester improved another chunk when successful at Cork and is feared most.

GLOUCESTER was strong at the finish at Cork last time so should be in his element over this stiff finish

HOT WHISPERS won in decisive fashion over this trip at the Curragh a fortnight ago and, with the first six home in that sprint now renewing rivalry, she is taken to follow up off just a 4lb higher mark. The selection has since joined Adrian Joyce from Denis Hogan. Siesta Beach gave encouragement when third in that Curragh handicap and, having dropped considerably in the ratings over the past year, should go close with Colin Keane booked. Distillate held off Universally by half-a-length in a 24-runner handicap at Naas last Sunday and the winner may confirm the places over this shorter trip. Starnight won in good style at Nottingham and any further rain would help her cause while Cavallo Pazzo, Run Forrest Run and Cholita are others to consider.

An ultra-competitive sprint which can go the way of CAVALLO PAZZO, who shaped encouragingly back at 5f on first outing for his new yard at Tipperary just over 3 weeks ago and, with that effort sure to have blown away any cobwebs, he's fancied to go one better. Universally, Jazzy Dancer and Distillate are just a handful of possible dangers.

Wide open with recent Curragh winner HOT WHISPERS taken to follow up

SILMANIYA doesn't have too many secrets from the handicapper but has been a model of consistency since winning over C&D last autumn. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly has run with plenty of credit in valuable handicaps this year including when beaten just over a length in the Rockingham at the Curragh and, having been tried in various types of headgear, is now fitted with blinkers for the first time. She had Parting Glass well behind at the Curragh last time, but that rival will be suited by some cut in the ground. The Highway Rat has proved a grand servant to connections winning five times at Dundalk but may just need this after a break of over five months. Arnhem bids for a quick follow up after scoring at the Curragh last Saturday, while Torivega easily won a maiden at Cork last time but has a stiff task at the weights.

HURRICANE IVOR has dropped back to a good mark and this looks easier than recent assignments so he gets the nod. The Highway Rat will be a threat if in the same form as when second on his Curragh reappearance in the spring. Johnny Murtagh's Silmaniya is also respected after bouncing back to form last time.

The one with untapped potential is Torivega but ARNHEM is a hardened handicapper with good course form and gets 15lb

DUMB LOVE appears better than her 74 rating and has recent form. She showed promise on debut, and again ran well at Naas when switched to challenge before finishing well and is reliable. Spirit Of Paradise, out of a Listed-placed dam, was green and swished her tail once on debut but ran promisingly at Gowran. She holds the selection's exposed 75-rated stablemate Semantics but, on jockey bookings, is second string behind Antique Store which was reported 'clinically abnormal' following her debut flop but is probably capable of better. Time To Boogie has a quality pedigree, being out of a sister to Arc winner Found. She ran well on debut but disappointed behind Spirit Of Paradise at Gowran, when racing wide. Her rider reported she 'did not race on the ground' but was soundly beaten. Coco Crush needs to improve while blue-blooded Finsceal Go Deo is exposed. Bill Lee rides Spanish Rose, who despite being a half-sister to a point-to-point winner, has pace in her pedigree and represents capable colours which make a reappearance.

DUMB LOVE produced her best effort yet when third at Naas last month and she is taken to open her account at the fourth attempt. Next on the list is Spirit of Paradise, who stepped up on her debut effort when fourth at Gowran recently and should be in the mix if coping with this drop back in trip. Time To Boogie was a disappointing ninth in that maiden but remains capable of better and Coco Crush also needs a close look on the back of a fairly encouraging introduction at the Curragh.

It may pay to side with DUMB LOVE, who still looks to be learning on the job and has form at this trip

FLIER should appreciate the forecast rain and softening of ground and ran well over course and distance in July. Her form is hit-and-miss but remains somewhat unexposed as a four-year-old and a reproduction of her latest run, on soft, would give her every chance from the inside draw. Stay Local has been frustrating and was behind the selection in July but also likes soft ground and should get involved under her 4lb claimer. Kampala Beach has obvious claims despite being 6lb higher than when winning at Leopardstown last month but would prefer good ground. Breagagh ran well at Naas in July but is a 32-race maiden while Lucky Queen is suited by easy ground and this distance and ran well at Killarney in July. Lissadell, a 110,000gns yearling, has yet to show ability and runs in first time cheekpieces and tongue-tie.

LUCKY QUEEN looked ahead of her mark under an inexperienced rider when runner-up at Killarney last time and she's worth a chance to go one better. Mr Mills was better than the result at Naas last time, so he's another one to consider, while both Kampala Beach and Flier arrive in form.

The lightly-raced FLIER may be able to turn around C&D form with Mr Mills from their clash here in July and is the selection

RED TRAIL is a three-time winner who is ideally suited by this distance and soft ground. She returned to form when winning at Gowran recently, is just 3lb higher in a winneable race today and her same rider is again able to claim 4lb. Party Moon finished fourth in that Gowran race and runs for a new yard. He has a bit to find to beat the selection but was once rated 83. Little Jo, a nine-time UK winner, showed some encouragement in a recent claimer while stablemate Dinamine was reported to have 'scoped wrong' at Bellewstown in July but has claims on previous Limerick form. Special Protector improved when finishing fourth at Gowran last month.

RED TRAIL arrives on the back of a career-best success at Gowran and can also boast a C&D win so looks the way to go here. Little Jo and Slieve Bearnagh appeal as the duo to give Andrew McNamara's filly most to do and can chase her home in that order.

Fourth at Gowran, maybe PARTY MOON has finally arrived at a competitive mark and he can turn around the form with Red Trail

EARTH DANCE ran really well on debut last month and comfortably holds today's rivals Tommy Thug and Dubawi Delight. A half-brother to three winners, he was beaten by a 98-rated runner-up on Curragh debut, with the experienced fourth-placed filly subsequently winning a maiden. Tommy Thug and Dubawi Delight finished sixth and seventh respectively at the Curragh while exposed Right Now is consistent and has place claims. Only For Me is held by Right Now on Curragh form while Open To Question needs to improve. Guinevere's Spirit has a notable pedigree being out of an unraced half-sister to Derby winner Authorized and who has already produced five winners, two being smart. An Bradan Feasa is bred for staying distances and is out of an unraced half-sister to high-class hurdler Kalashnikov.

EARTH DANCE made a promising start to his career when third at Curragh a fortnight ago and should take a bit of stopping with improvement on the cards. Tommy Thug and Right Now may give him most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding one of the newcomers.

A promising debut third over this trip at the Curragh last month sets EARTH DANCE (nap) up as the one to beat

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.
