16:38 Roscommon Maiden Chase 16f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (1.38/1 +85%) Lieutenant Highway	1.38 1.38/1(+85%)	(2) Lieutenant Highway 1.38/1, Useful hurdler. 22¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Hercule Du Seuil in novice chase (33/1) at Ballinrobe (17f, good) on debut over fences 14 days ago. Open to progress. Beaten 23l by Hercule Du Seuil on chase debut at Ballinrobe; 12lb better off.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.83/1 +72%) Roseys Hollow	0.83 0.83/1(+72%)	(4) Roseys Hollow 0.83/1, Useful hurdler. Creditable third of 10 in novice chase at Killarney (20f, good to soft, 5/2) 29 days ago. Should give a good account. Some useful form in six chase starts; gets 19lb from owner-mate Hercule Du Seuil.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +82%) Hope Des Blins	9 9/1(+82%)	(3) Hope Des Blins 9/1, Fair hurdler. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 14/1, fourth of 5 in novice chase at Tramore (15.4f, good) 9 days ago. Looks vulnerable. Outclassed by Mullins-trained odds-on chance at Tramore and similar outcome very likely.

LTO Selection:

This looks a match between the two JP McManus representatives, HERCULE DU SEUIL and Roseys Hollow. While he has to give weight away to his three rivals, the Willie Mullins-trained former should prove up to the task. A Grade 2-winning hurdler, he was disappointingly beaten into second on his debut over fences at Ballinrobe early last month. He returned to the Mayo venue and made amends on his next start, impressively making all despite some slight mistakes. Mullins now looks to have found an ideal opportunity for the French bred six-year-old to follow up. With Aidan Kelly's claim included, Roseys Hollow will carry a total of 19lb less than the selection. A smart performer over flights, she has been a bit disappointing since switching to the larger obstacles and may prove more effective in handicap company. Lieutenant Highway was over 20 lengths behind the selection at Ballinrobe but with a swing in the weights, he should get a bit closer now.

It's hard to look beyond HERCULE DU SEUIL, who went one better than on his chase debut when scoring in good style at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago. A dual winner of graded race over hurdles, he remains open to improvement in this sphere. Roseys Hollow gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Lieutenant Highway, who didn't shape badly when fourth in the Ballinrobe maiden chase won by Hercule Du Seuil on his first start over the larger obstacles.

Hard to oppose the front-running \HERCULE DU SEUIL\p after his easy win in a good-class beginners' chase at Ballinrobe

17:13 Roscommon Handicap Chase 24f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (3.33/1 +17%) Stealthy Tom	3.33 3.33/1(+17%)	(12) Stealthy Tom 3.33/1, Landed 15-runner handicap chase (3/1) at Killarney (20f, good) 28 days ago, all out. Back up in trip. Blinkers back on and not discounted. Was winning a 2m4f handicap chase at Killarney for the second year running; low weight.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 -43%) Foxy Jacks	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Foxy Jacks 20/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Unseated rider 20th in minor event chase at Cheltenham (30.2f, good to soft, 40/1) 89 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Early-season form brings him into it and dangerous to dismiss after a break.
3	9 3rd (9) (3.2/1 +29%) The Abbey	3.2 3.2/1(+29%)	(9) The Abbey 3.2/1, 7/2, career best when winning 10-runner handicap chase at Limerick (25.5f, good to soft) 18 days ago, hard held. On the upgrade recently so rates a big player in his hat-trick bid. Has won his last two comfortably; up 11lb for last time but something has clicked.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 +45%) Snugsborough Hall	11 11/1(+45%)	(7) Snugsborough Hall 11/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.4f, good, 14/1). Off 9 months. Switches from hurdles to chase. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Won a recent point and was only beaten 2l in this 12 months ago off 5lb higher.
5th	4 5th (4) (8.5/1 -6%) Champagne Gold	8.5 8.5/1(-6%)	(4) Champagne Gold 8.5/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap chase (16/1) at Punchestown (24f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Can give a good account. This represents a welcome drop in class from the Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals.
6th	11 6th (11) (6/1 +57%) Good As Hell	6 6/1(+57%)	(11) Good As Hell 6/1, Latest win in chase at Tipperary in May. Good third of 12 in handicap hurdle (11/2) at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Up in trip. Possibilities. Placed over hurdles last time and she's better over fences; good bet to give her running.
7th	3 7th (3) (11/1 -69%) Go Another One	11 11/1(-69%)	(3) Go Another One 11/1, Career best when winning 5-runner handicap chase (5/1) at Cartmel (25.5f, good) 16 days ago. Enters calculations. Won at Cartmel latest but only beat four rivals and seems happiest in small fields.
8th	1 8th (1) (7.5/1 -25%) Hurricane Georgie	7.5 7.5/1(-25%)	(1) Hurricane Georgie 7.5/1, Three wins from 9 runs last season. 5/2, second of 4 in minor event chase at Limerick (19.7f, good to soft) 18 days ago, barely adequate test. Back up in trip and in the mix for a stable having good spell. Won the Midlands National at Kilbeggan last summer; ran well over too short a trip latest.
9th	6 9th (6) (16/1 +36%) Walking On Glass	16 16/1(+36%)	(6) Walking On Glass 16/1, Below form eighth of 15 in handicap chase (25/1) at Ballinrobe (23f, good) 14 days ago. Others appeal more. Failed to shine on return to fences at Ballinrobe two weeks ago, albeit in a strong race.
10th	8 10th (8) (40/1 -233%) Pairc Na Ngael	40 40/1(-233%)	(8) Pairc Na Ngael 40/1, Two wins from 4 runs last season. 22/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap chase at Kilbeggan (19.1f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. Has to bounce back from a quiet reappearance at Kilbeggan when never at the races.
11th	5 11th (5) (14/1 -17%) Popong	14 14/1(-17%)	(5) Popong 14/1, Tenth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good, 16/1) 28 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Back up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Below form over hurdles the last twice but she was runner-up in this 12 months ago.

LTO Selection:

Sharing the same name as the local hotel, THE ABBEY would be a popular winner of this feature contest. The 10-year-old has shown remarkable improvement in recent starts, winning easily at Downpatrick and Limerick respectively. Despite a 20lb rise, the Yeats gelding still looks well treated on a mark of 117 and with Danny Gilligan again on board, he looks the one to beat. Gordon Elliott trains the selection and is also represented by top-weight Hurricane Georgie. She won the Midlands National at Kilbeggan last season and can make an impact here. Henry de Bromhead is also double handed, with Champagne Gold and Popong his representatives. The latter, who filled the runner-up spot 12 months ago, is given second preference, fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Stealthy Tom has won three of his last five and is a leading contender with Mark McDonagh aboard, while Snugsborough Hall (third last year) and 14-time winner Go Another One are others that warrant respect.

THE ABBEY arrives on the up and still looks weighted to complete a hat-trick despite being hiked up 11 lb for his most recent Limerick success. Go Another One is feared most on the back of his Cartmel victory, with veteran Pakens Rock another to consider now he is back on track.

The 8yo CHAMPAGNE GOLD can find this easier than contesting competitive handicaps at the Cheltenham/Punchestown festivals.

Info	Form	Odds

LTO Selection:

Denis Hogan has his string in fine form at present and the Co Tipperary trainer is double handed here, saddling both AKAABIR and General Idea. A Godolphin cast-off, the former ran a nice race on debut over flights at Listowel last week and finished just two and a half lengths behind the 121-rated Morning Soldier. The Dark Angel gelding should come on plenty for that experience and can be expected to go a lot closer now. In truth, this is a weak contest and newcomer Drombana Boy won't have to be anything out of the ordinary to get involved. By Walk In The Park, the Enda Bolger-trained bay is out of a half-sister to the brilliant Synchronised, winner of the 2012 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Gordon Elliott's Knocknacree is out of three-time track winner Layla Joan, who Elliott also trained. Second of seven on his most recent start at Perth, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. Twice placed last year, Mr Globalist is another leading contender on his debut for Shay Slevin, while Mercury Mission and Boots And Jeans are others who warrant respect.

A thin maiden hurdle that can see Gordon Elliott enjoy yet another winner, courtesy of KNOCKNACREE, who ran well at Perth. Blenheim Belle and Boots And Jeans are put up for the places.

Perth second Knocknacree might want further; so too might AKAABIR but it was a promising start over hurdles from him at Listowel

In the doldrums for ages until ran much better when leading until the last at Ballinrobe.

LTO Selection:

Fresh from a double at Bangor on Saturday, 'Shark' Hanlon might be able to strike here with GRIZABELLA. A winner on the level last summer, she ran a fine race to finish fourth on just her second start in handicap company at Wexford and she is fitted with a hood for the first time now. Trying to second guess Charles Byrnes is a futile exercise and so it's difficult to know what to expect from Redwood Queen. She stayed on strongly to finish third under tender handling on debut for the highly controversial Limerick handler at Punchestown last month. Macs Lady also ran a cracker on debut for a new outfit at Limerick. Now in the care of Shane Ryder, she ultimately couldn't hold off the progressive Bal Kauto, and had to settle for second after attempting to make all. Taylor Three Rock successfully made every inch of the running at Listowel recently and she is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others for the shortlist in this competitive affair are Up And Out, Skip Mahler and Atlantic Wonder.

This looks a hot race for the grade with several potential improvers. None more so than REDWOOD QUEEN, who caught the eye in no uncertain terms at Punchestown 3 weeks ago. Grizabella should have more to offer as a hurdler given her Flat ability, with Atlantic Wonder completing the shortlist.

Punchestown eyecatcher Redwood Queen may well be overbet and ATLANTIC WONDER has been shaping like he has one of these in him

9th	15 9th (15) (18/1 +28%) Inagh's Gift	18 18/1(+28%)	(15) Inagh's Gift 18/1, 5/1 blinkered/tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Tramore (15.2f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Switches from chase to hurdles. Work to do. Engaged 3.25 Punchestown Sunday. Longstanding maiden who has been chasing and makes limited appeal on return to hurdles.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (28/1 -56%) Ballyfinnan Lady	28 28/1(-56%)	(7) Ballyfinnan Lady 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 16 in novice hurdle at this course (16.1f, good). Off 12 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Open to improvement. Showed a bit more in her final maiden here and could make a handicapper.
10th	8 10th (8) (33/1 +18%) Lodge Prince	33 33/1(+18%)	(8) Lodge Prince 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden under NH rules. 80/1, last of 13 in novice hurdle at Tramore (16f, good to soft). Off 14 months. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Some promise in one of his maiden hurdles but comes here after some poor runs in points.
11th	16 11th (16) (25/1 +24%) Destivelle	25 25/1(+24%)	(16) Destivelle 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in juvenile hurdle at Tipperary (16f, good, 125/1) 25 days ago. Improvement required on handicap hurdle debut. Of limited account on the Flat and has cut no ice in three maiden hurdles.
12th	5 12th (5) (12/1 -33%) Tohellortoconnacht	12 12/1(-33%)	(5) Tohellortoconnacht 12/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in hunter chase (17/2) at Tramore (21.7f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive. This year's exploits in hunter chases and points hardly bode well; new headgear.
13th	13 13th (13) (125/1 -56%) Courthill	125 125/1(-56%)	(13) Courthill 125/1, 100/1, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.1f, good) 13 days ago, tailing off 2 out. Back down in trip. Hard to fancy. Basement mark is entirely warranted judged on his form to date.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (10/1 -11%) Farceur De Sivola	10 10/1(-11%)	(3) Farceur De Sivola 10/1, 16/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Not out of things. Ran respectably behind a runaway winner at Kilbeggan last week.

LTO Selection:

EDGE OF MY SEAT made the frame a couple of times on the Flat last year and has twice run well over hurdles at this venue. Keen when sixth at Tipperary last month, the fitting of a hood may help her to settle and an in-form claimer rides. Runner-up at Naas and third at Wexford, Only One Plan is handicapped to win one of these and is likely to contend again. Be My Hero ran his best race so far when second at Wexford and hasn't been with Gordon Elliott all that long so may be capable of further improvement. A winner over 1m4f at Dundalk last year, The Virginian shaped well after a lay-off when fifth at Punchestown and represents a yard which enjoyed a double on Saturday.

PRESENTING LAD won this contest last season and signalled a return to form at Punchestown last time. He gets the nod. Be My Hero and Only One Plan head the list of dangers.

None of these are overly convincing but BE MY HERO hasn't been with Gordon Elliott all that long and seems to be finding his level.

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (1.38/1 +50%) Lucid Dreams	1.38 1.38/1(+50%)	(3) Lucid Dreams 1.38/1, Thrice-raced winner under NH rules. 9/4, won 15-runner maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good to soft) 41 days ago, shaken up to assert. Up in trip. May well do better. Just the three runs and won a Ballinrobe maiden (2m) with plenty to spare.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 +7%) Lady Of The Vale	7 7/1(+7%)	(2) Lady Of The Vale 7/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Tipperary in May. Very good second of 7 in minor event hurdle (5/2) at Down Royal (16.8f, good) 10 days ago. Up in trip. Has improved since trailing Pink In The Park by some 16l at Cork in May.
3	5 3rd (5) (3.33/1 +39%) Jay Jay Zee	3.33 3.33/1(+39%)	(5) Jay Jay Zee 3.33/1, 6/1, won 12-runner maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.4f, soft) on debut 59 days ago, driven out. Longer trip will suit. Likely improver for a leading stable in good form. Workmanlike in making a winning debut at Ballinrobe; tackling classier opposition here.
4	4 4th (4) (2.25/1 +32%) Camino Rock	2.25 2.25/1(+32%)	(4) Camino Rock 2.25/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Remains a maiden after 7 hurdle runs. Good third of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.8f, good to soft, 20/1) 47 days ago, sticking to task. Unlikely to be far away. Nothing wrong with his third in a deep 2m4f handicap at the Punchestown festival.

LTO Selection:

CAMINO ROCK was third of 25 in a competitive handicap over this trip at the Punchestown festival. He's the only maiden in the field but a reproduction of that latest run will see him take a bit of beating. Pink In The Park was Grade 1-placed at Fairyhouse in April but, nonetheless, the handicapper is happy to place her on a mark of 121. Not fluent when landing a Cork maiden last time, she still has room for improvement in her jumping but good ground suits and she may build on that victory during the summer. Late developer Lucid Dreams only began racing this year and readily won a Ballinrobe maiden last month. The eight-year-old is capable of further progress over this longer trip.

The step up in trip should suit Gordon Elliott's Ballinrobe debut scorer JAY JAY ZEE who can make the most of the weight he receives from Pink In The Park in a tight rated novice.

The suggestion is the unexposed LUCID DREAMS, who clocked a decent time when winning at Ballinrobe. Pink In The Park is next best.

1	9 1st (9) (4/1 +56%) Rebel Rose	4 4/1(+56%)	(9) Rebel Rose 4/1, Latest win in hurdle at Ballinrobe in July. Below form sixth of 10 in handicap hurdle (5/1) at Ballinrobe (21.8f, good). Off 9 months and tongue strap on 1st time. Can make her presence felt, provided she's ready to roll. Beat a talented mare in Ballinrobe maiden but well beaten in subsequent handicaps.
2	5 2nd (5) (6.5/1 -117%) Volantis	6.5 6.5/1(-117%)	(5) Volantis 6.5/1, Career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (16.5f, good to soft, 10/3) 107 days ago, travelling strongly. Up in trip now handicapping and he's open to improvement. Off the mark on second start over hurdles in ordinary Fairyhouse maiden (2m, yielding).
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 -60%) Digby	8 8/1(-60%)	(2) Digby 8/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in April 2022. 7/1, fell in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.8f, heavy). Off 10 months but claims if fully tuned-up. 3-9 over hurdles including 24-runner handicap over this trip at Fairyhouse last year.
4	3 4th (3) (5.5/1 +45%) Whatsavailable	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(3) Whatsavailable 5.5/1, Latest win in hurdle at Fairyhouse in December. Below form eleventh of 19 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Fairyhouse (21.7f, soft) 63 days ago. Not discounted. Dual winner at Fairyhouse over this trip and runner-up over 3m at Thurles in March.
7	7 \|PU\| (7) (1.5/1 +40%) The Big Chap	1.5 1.5/1(+40%)	(7) The Big Chap 1.5/1, Two wins from 5 runs last season. 11/2, good third of 16 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (20f, good) 28 days ago, closing all way to line. Major player. Consistent and progressive since going handicapping last summer, good third at Killarney.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (6.5/1 +19%) Bravo Team	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(4) Bravo Team 6.5/1, Unseated rider in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Down Royal (20.4f, good) 10 days ago. Booking of Gilligan a plus but he's on a tough-looking mark. Won off 113 on h'cap debut at Down Royal last year (2m4f, good) and effectively same mark.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (40/1 +20%) Quantatmental	40 40/1(+20%)	(8) Quantatmental 40/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. 33/1, below form seventh of 13 in handicap chase at Limerick (17.7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles. Readily passed over. Has been out of form over fences since returning from an absence last year; hard to fancy.

LTO Selection:

THE BIG CHAP has been consistent and progressive since sent handicapping last summer and has two good-ground wins on the board. He was a fine third over this trip in a similar grade of handicap at Killarney last month and Paul Flynn engages a useful claimer to take 7lb off his back. Gallant John Joe has often been highly tried in his career and has to be accorded plenty of respect at this level of competition. There was little wrong with his second to an improving type on his most recent hurdles starts at Punchestown in February and he was placed over fences at that venue's festival meeting. Digby has been off since tipping up at the Galway festival but won a big-field novice handicap at Fairyhouse earlier last year and merits respect despite his long lay-off.

VOLANTIS built on his encouraging hurdles debut when landing a Fairyhouse maiden in February and, with the likelihood of better to come now moving back up in trip for this handicap debut, he could be the answer. The Big Chap is a much-respected main danger with conditions in his favour, while Rebel Rose will be a threat if fit enough to do herself justice following a 9-month absence and Digby is also worth a second look.

Consistent and progressive, THE BIG CHAP (nap) looks the way to go but Gallant John Joe and the long-absent Digby are feared

Info	Form	Odds
1	11 1st (11) (2.75/1 -10%) Weseekherthere	2.75 2.75/1(-10%)	(11) Weseekherthere 2.75/1, Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Mid-division in a big-field bumper at the Punchestown Festival. Fair fifth in a Limerick maiden hurdle since. Cheekpieces on first time. Bold bid expected. Not sure that this sharper test will be favourable but she has just about the best form.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.33/1 +5%) Ayiko	3.33 3.33/1(+5%)	(2) Ayiko 3.33/1, €55,000 Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to bumper winner/fairly useful 19f/2½m hurdle winner Park This One. One to note on debut for a yard which does well in bumpers. 55,000euros 3yo; represents leading ownership and the market can guide.
3	5 3rd (5) (6.5/1 +46%) Crooked Tannie	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(5) Crooked Tannie 6.5/1, 25/1, seventh of 15 in bumper at Killarney (17f, good to soft) on NH debut 29 days ago. Clear with another rival at one stage but ultimately beaten 20l into seventh at Killarney.
4	8 4th (8) (7.5/1 +46%) Bigira	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(8) Bigira 7.5/1, Birchwood filly. Half-sister to Zirochka. Dam made frame both starts on Flat in France. 2,000euros 2yo; second foal; half-sister to French 2m hurdle winner Zirochka.
5th	9 5th (9) (5.5/1 +21%) Cailin Aibrean	5.5 5.5/1(+21%)	(9) Cailin Aibrean 5.5/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 18 in bumper (11/1) at Cork (16f, good to soft) on NH debut 37 days ago. Showed some promise when midfield at Cork (2m, yielding) and she can build on that.
6th	4 6th (4) (40/1 -21%) Cramers Valley	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Cramers Valley 40/1, Mount Nelson gelding. Dam, point winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 31f) Duke of Lucca (by Milan). Betting should guide to expectations. Newcomer from a stable that's 0-65 in bumpers the last five seasons.
7th	3 7th (3) (7.5/1 -15%) Charlie's Dilemma	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(3) Charlie's Dilemma 7.5/1, Valirann gelding. Dam unraced. Respected stable has a solid bumper record. Interesting to see how this one goes in the betting. Dam unraced; from a yard that wins its share of bumpers and one to note in the betting.
8th	7 8th (7) (20/1 +39%) Mount Frisco	20 20/1(+39%)	(7) Mount Frisco 20/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in bumper (15/2) at Ballinrobe (15.6f, soft) on NH debut 59 days ago. Well held on debut but didn't appear to be unfancied at 15-2 and could show more.
9th	6 9th (6) (20/1 +39%) Grattan Street	20 20/1(+39%)	(6) Grattan Street 20/1, Snow Sky gelding. Dam, no sign of ability in bumper/over hurdles, sister to bumper winner/useful 2½m hurdle winner On Impulse. First foal; dam unplaced points, bumper and hurdles; probably best watched.
10th	10 10th (10) (18/1 +28%) Hopkins	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Hopkins 18/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 13 in bumper (50/1) at Tramore (16.8f, good) 9 days ago. Beaten 22l at Cork and 28l at Tramore; surely needs more if she's to take this.

LTO Selection:

Derek O'Connor is a significant booking for ALLY KAZOO and Sam Curling's newcomer is taken to score on debut. The homebred son of El Kabeir, unsold at last year's Derby Sale, is from a family of bumper winners including smart jumpers Threeunderthrufive and Benruben. Fellow debutant Ayiko, a half-brother to a bumper winner out of a mare who is related to bumper winners, made 55,000 Euros at the Land Rover Sale. He represents a yard with a good record in this category. Midfield in a valuable sales bumper at the Punchestown festival, Weseekherthere had creditable runs in maiden hurdles either side of that and is now tried in headgear. She looks to have the best claims of those that have run.

Gordon Elliott's WESEEKHERTHERE has shown a fair level of ability in a bumper/2 hurdles and is the percentage call, although a strong market move for newcomers such as Ayiko, Charlie's Dilemma and/or Ally Kazoo would put a slightly different slant on things.

Ayiko looks a likely type but ALLY KAZOO has a nice pedigree and Derek O'Connor is 6-40 for the yard in the last five years.

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.
