13:40 Roscommon Maiden Hurdle 16f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (15/2 +53%) Wonleg	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(12) Wonleg 15/2, €30,000 3-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Dam, modest maiden hurdler (stayed 21f), closely related to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 3m) Arthur's Quay. Failed to land a blow when fifth of 14 sole start between the flags in May but he's of interest on Rules debut nonetheless. Not a bad run in a point-to-point, nicely bred, in good hands and can't be discounted.
2	9 2nd (9) (9/4 +10%) Saint Le Fort	2.25 9/4(+10%)	(9) Saint Le Fort 9/4, Promising individual. 8/1, 9¾ lengths third of 10 to Shuttle Diplomacy in listed bumper at Limerick (16.2f, heavy) on bumper debut when last seen in March. Showed promise on hurdling bow at Punchestown 2 months earlier and he's open to improvement. Ability both starts, placed in a Listed bumper when last seen, may need this after break.
3	5 3rd (5) (13/8 +13%) In The Trenches	1.625 13/8(+13%)	(5) In The Trenches 13/8, Fair hurdler. Evens and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 13 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Now 0-10 over hurdles and beaten favourite on 4 of his last 6 starts but he's a strong contender all the same. Dual-purpose, 0-10 over hurdles and rated 109, second six times, obvious claims.
4	2 4th (2) (18/1 -50%) Biggerthanbigtime	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Biggerthanbigtime 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 15 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Tongue strap on 1st time. Poor on last hurdle outing and looks vulnerable. Rated 110 over hurdles; out of form on the Flat on most recent outings; others preferred.
5th	3 5th (3) (9/1 +44%) Empire Succes	9 9/1(+44%)	(3) Empire Succes 9/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 13 in novice hurdle (10/1) at Wexford (16.9f, good to soft) on NH debut 31 days ago. Each-way chance if able to build on that. Had a future maiden winner behind at Stradbally, promise at Wexford, could go well.
6th	4 6th (4) (33/1 +50%) Gimme A Buzz	33 33/1(+50%)	(4) Gimme A Buzz 33/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding. Half-brother to fair 2m hurdle winner Dreamsrmadeofthis, stays 2¼m. Dam smart winning hurdler up to 2½m. One to note in the betting. Soldier Of Fortune gelding has a nice pedigree and is worth checking in the market.
7th	11 7th (11) (18/1 -177%) Spinola Bay	18 18/1(-177%)	(11) Spinola Bay 18/1, Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 12 in bumper (4/1) at Killarney (17f, good to soft) 141 days ago. Will need to leave that effort well behind now sent hurdling but he's in good hands and is worth a second look. Beaten 21l when 4-1 for his hurdling debut, off since, may need the ground to dry out.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 -150%) Kobalt St Georges	50 50/1(-150%)	(6) Kobalt St Georges 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. Sixteenth of 25 in bumper (16/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, good to soft) on bumper debut 153 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles and improvement needed. Hasn't shown enough in his two hurdles and a bumper, qualifies for a mark after this.
9th	10 9th (10) (80/1 -21%) Silent Selector	80 80/1(-21%)	(10) Silent Selector 80/1, €5,000 3-y-o, Order of St George gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful hurdler/chaser Up For Review and fairly useful hurdler/chase winner Oscar Thyne, stays 23f. Little impact both starts in maiden points. Promise in second point-to-point, off 135 days, probably best watched on rules debut.
10th	14 10th (14) (50/1 -257%) Ladies Well	50 50/1(-257%)	(14) Ladies Well 50/1, €22,000 3-y-o, Mahler filly. Dam 2m-2½m hurdle winner (stayed 2¾m), also 1½m winner on Flat. Interesting to see what the market makes of this filly. Mahler filly, out of a hurdle and Flat winner, nicely bred debutante, check the betting.
11th	13 11th (13) (200/1 +0%) Keyser Smokesy	200 200/1(+0%)	(13) Keyser Smokesy 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (20.7f, good to soft) 158 days ago. Back down in trip. Well-beaten in both starts and hard to make a case for, may be a longer term project.
12th	15 12th (15) (9/1 -170%) Native Sparkle	9 9/1(-170%)	(15) Native Sparkle 9/1, Getaway filly. Dam, dual bumper winner, closely related to very smart hurdler (stayed 3m) Fire Dragon. Appealing on paper and she needs close attention in the betting. Nicely bred Getaway debutante from respected source, not dismissed if strong in market.
13th	8 13th (8) (40/1 -100%) Notimelikedpresent	40 40/1(-100%)	(8) Notimelikedpresent 40/1, Ocovango gelding. Half-brother to fair 19f hurdle winner Crecora Hills and fair hurdler/chase winner Search For A Myth. Pulled up sole start between the flags but Mark Walsh prefers him to Gimme A Buzz and it'll be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. The choice of Mark Walsh, pulled up in a point-to-point 211 days ago, market check advised.
14th	16 14th (16) (150/1 -127%) Wishes And Dreams	150 150/1(-127%)	(16) Wishes And Dreams 150/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 10 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. Dual-purpose maiden; 0-2 over hurdles, modest Flat form, may be one for handicaps.
15th	7 15th (7) (20/1 -82%) Lord Raven	20 20/1(-82%)	(7) Lord Raven 20/1, Fair maiden on the Flat, making GB/IRE jumps debut. Fourth of 16 in handicap (15/2) at Galway (7f, good) 20 days ago. It remains to be seen if he will have the required stamina for this game. Flat recruit rated 67, positive jockey booking for hurdles bow, check the market.
16th	1 16th (1) (100/1 +0%) Ardskeagh Nia	100 100/1(+0%)	(1) Ardskeagh Nia 100/1, Sageburg gelding. Half-brother to modest hurdler Brownstone. Dam unraced half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 29f) Sugar Baron. Entitled to come on for the run. Sageburg gelding, related to a winner over hurdles, probably best watched on debut.

Runner-up six times in his last seven starts, IN THE TRENCHES is given another chance to get off the mark. He had Empire Succes eight lengths back in fifth when doing little wrong in first-time cheekpieces at Wexford last time and the filly who beat him has scored on the Flat since. Saint Le Fort showed promise in a winter maiden at Punchestown before being placed in a bumper when last seen in March. Lord Raven, from a predominantly jumping yard, has shown plenty of ability on the Flat and is one to consider on his hurdling debut. Native Sparkle, whose dam was a dual bumper winner for her trainer Barry Connell, is a newcomer to note.

This represents a good opportunity for SAINT LE FORT, who confirmed the promise of his Punchestown hurdles debut when third in a listed bumper at Limerick during the spring. He is likely to improve now returned to this sphere and can consign In The Trenches to another defeat. The latter is not short of ability but patience is starting to wear thin given that he was turned over at odds of 6/4 or less for the fourth time at Wexford last month. Newcomer Native Sparkle is one to note in the betting.

A chance is taken on EMPIRE SUCCESS. He was behind \bIn The Trenches\ on latest but will strip fitter now and may turn that around.

FIELD A THISTLES has run well against geldings on her last two starts at Galway and Ballinrobe and looks a leading contender back in mares-only company. Mags Mullins' ground-versatile charge landed a bumper over this trip in July and has a nice bit of hurdling experience after four starts over flights. The 5lb claim of Conor Stone-Walsh is another point in her favour. Grooveykindoflove represents a top yard and showed plenty of promise last term. She went close at Wexford when last seen and a five-month absence is not a major concern. Downpatrick bumper winner Blacksmiths Forge made a pleasing start over hurdles at Sligo and stepping up in trip should help her cause.

Provided she is fully tuned-up following a break, GROOVEYKINDOFLOVE may well go one better than when second to Kiltealy Park (winner again since) on her latest start at Wexford in April. She remains open to improvement, a remark which also applies to several of her rivals, not least Mexican Moonshine, who was beaten by an experienced rival on her recent introduction at Ballinrobe. Lady Nightingale is third choice ahead of Blacksmiths Forge, Diamonds Diva and Field A Thistles.

Preference is for FIELD A THISTLES. The drop back in trip will suit and her Galway fourth looks solid form in the context of this race.

15:25 Roscommon Handicap Hurdle 20f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 -100%) Warmer Days Ahead	5 5/1(-100%)	(3) Warmer Days Ahead 5/1, 7/2, good third of 18 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (19.4f, good) 114 days ago, running on. Blinkers on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Two good Punchestown runs when last seen; be involved again if handling this softer ground.
2	4 2nd (4) (14/1 +30%) Nevereverever	14 14/1(+30%)	(4) Nevereverever 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle (28/1) at Tramore (16.6f, good to soft) 43 days ago. Up in trip and hood back on. Plenty to find on form but he is open to improvement. Made some mistakes on handicap debut last time over 2m; could improve for this trip.
3	8 3rd (8) (20/1 +0%) Fassbender	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Fassbender 20/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, last of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, soft) 40 days ago. Opposable. Mostly below form this year but has come down to an attractive mark if staging a revival.
4	7 4th (7) (14/1 +0%) Harveyshonor	14 14/1(+0%)	(7) Harveyshonor 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle (22/1) at Killarney (20.4f, good) 74 days ago. Likely to find a few too good. Better effort on handicap debut at Killarney in July; be involved if handling this ground.
5th	10 5th (10) (10/1 +29%) Ivane	10 10/1(+29%)	(10) Ivane 10/1, Unreliable individual. Below form seventh of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.4f, good to soft, 15/2) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Second over 3m at Cork in March; below that form since but this trip suits; considered.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/2 +27%) The Rebel County	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(9) The Rebel County 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1 and blinkered for 1st time, very good fifth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Down Royal (24f, good) 31 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Not without an each-way squeak. Probably didn't stay 3m on handicap debut last time and this trip is more suitable.
7th	16 7th (16) (18/1 -29%) Mourne Mist	18 18/1(-29%)	(16) Mourne Mist 18/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable third of 14 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Kilbeggan (19f, soft) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive. Beaten approx' 10l last twice off this mark and needs to find more from somewhere.
8th	14 8th (14) (17/2 -21%) Fire Coral	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(14) Fire Coral 17/2, Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (19f, soft, 6/1) 26 days ago, very much having run of race. Needs a couple of these to falter. Not beaten far in handicap hurdles at times; best efforts on good ground, though.
9th	17 9th (17) (16/1 +0%) Hit The Frame	16 16/1(+0%)	(17) Hit The Frame 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 13 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Kilbeggan (24.4f, soft) 26 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap hurdle debut. Easy to look elsewhere. Beaten a long way in three maidens but can surely do better now handicapping; reserve.
18	18 \|F\| (18) (8/1 +68%) Barryroe Madam	8 8/1(+68%)	(18) Barryroe Madam 8/1, Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle (16/1) at Ballinrobe (16.8f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Best handicap effort came last time over 2m; this trip can bring improvement; reserve.
10th	2 10th (2) (11/1 +56%) Fairytale New York	11 11/1(+56%)	(2) Fairytale New York 11/1, 16/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, soft) 40 days ago, going in snatches. Nearest at the finish over 2m1f at Sligo last time; could do better over this longer trip.
11th	13 11th (13) (50/1 -52%) Mighty Momentum	50 50/1(-52%)	(13) Mighty Momentum 50/1, 18/1, creditable seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. Not bad efforts in handicaps over further; this trip might suit better; cheekpieces added.
12th	6 12th (6) (11/1 +73%) Justmadeit	11 11/1(+73%)	(6) Justmadeit 11/1, Below form sixth of 20 in handicap hurdle at Galway (22.4f, good to soft, 40/1) 21 days ago. Tongue strap back on and cheekpieces on 1st time. Pulled-up and beaten 30l in two handicaps; cheekpieces need to have a positive effect.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (9/1 -170%) Lispendense	9 9/1(-170%)	(1) Lispendense 9/1, Good second of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cork (18.4f, good to soft, 10/1) 56 days ago, sticking to task. Shortlist material. Second in a Cork handicap over 2m2f last time; go well if handling this softer ground.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (18/1 +28%) Glenriver	18 18/1(+28%)	(11) Glenriver 18/1, Twelfth of 13 in handicap hurdle (9/1) at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 67 days ago. Back up in trip and cheekpieces on 1st time. Well below form latest starts (refused to race once) and cheekpieces need to work.

Former bumper winner LISPENDENSE can gain a belated first success over hurdles. The Denis Cullen-trained gelding missed a year and a half through injury before returning for a Flat campaign last April. Having shown he retained ability, the nine-year-old was subsequently sent hurdling, finished a close-up second on his handicap debut at Cork last month. A reproduction of that effort would almost certainly suffice in this company. Warmer Days Ahead has been gradually getting closer in recent starts. The Oliver McKiernan-trained five-year-old shouldn't be too long in getting his head in front. Sligo runner-up Glenmorefiftyfour also enters calculations on the back of that encouraging recent effort.

Despite his advancing years, LISPENDENSE is lightly-raced in this sphere and is appealing on the back of an improved second on his handicap debut in this sphere at Cork. This step back up in trip will be no bad thing and he gets the nod ahead of Warmer Days Ahead, who has also raised his game since going down the handicap route. Johnny Cakes is also shortlisted.

A chance is taken on IVANE who was a fine second over 3m earlier in the season and gets back on soft ground over his ideal trip.

8th	9 8th (9) (16/1 +20%) But What About Me	16 16/1(+20%)	(9) But What About Me 16/1, Well-beaten twelfth of 20 to Max Time in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Galway (22.4f, good to soft) 21 days ago.

Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Best effort came at Thurles in February; not as good twice since and needs more.

MAX TIME, who landed a gamble when winning at Galway earlier this month, can register a second career success. The runner-up franked that form when running a big race in a similar grade at Listowel subsequently. Although the Iggy Madden-trained gelding was only fifth in his follow up attempt at Tramore last time, he should be more at home on this galloping track. In a race where few appear to have any sort of worthwhile recent form, the seven-year-old stands out. Kilbeggan second Rossies Tara has shown promise on occasions but has yet to get her head in front in 20 starts. The Mark McNiff-trained mare will get few easier opportunities than this one. Stowaway Lass, who is lightly raced at the age of 10, is an unexposed mare who should be noted.

The vote goes to MAX TIME, who raised his game when belatedly getting off the mark in a big-field Galway handicap earlier this month. He was a respectable fifth off this 7 lb higher mark at Tramore next time. Rossies Tara looks dangerous on the back of a solid effort at Kilbeggan, while Vintage Gold makes some each-way appeal on the back of his decent display at Killarney last time. But What About Me would also have a chance if at her best.

Now back on soft ground folowing two solid efforts on a faster surface, VINTAGE GOLD is a tentative pick in a weak affair.

That came from out of the blue but he holds obvious claims if able to back it up. Popped up at 25s over 3m1f on soft at Sligo; up in grade but no weight on his back.

A winner over fences at Wexford last time, OUTSIDE THE DOOR should be able to exploit a more favourable rating over hurdles. Raised to a mark of 123 on the back of that recent success, the Milan gelding can race off just 107 in this discipline. Given that he had finished a close-up third over flights at Sligo on his penultimate start, the eight-year-old looks well treated here. Hypersonic Missile, who had valid excuses when a beaten favourite over course and distance in August, made amends at Ballinrobe last time. A consistent sort of late, the Gavin Cromwell-trained gelding holds leading claims. Vaureal, a surprise winner of his maiden hurdle at this track last time, has to be of interest on handicap debut.

VAUREAL stepped up on his debut when comfortably landing a novice here 55 days ago and, with the longer trip likely to suit, he's worth a chance to make a successful switch to handicaps. Last-time-out winners Shuil Na Tra and Hypersonic Missile also come into the reckoning.

A winner over a bit further on soft ground at Sligo, SHUIL NA TRA faces stronger opposition here but may be able to progress again

Others more persuasive. Fair chase debut when beaten 2.5 by Jesse Evans at Galway (2m2f) with San Salvador fourth.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/2 +29%) Thecompanysergeant	2.5 5/2(+29%)	(5) Thecompanysergeant 5/2, Useful chaser. Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner novice chase (6/4) at Galway (18.2f, good) 62 days ago, driven out. Should be thereabouts. Second to Bowmore at Tipperary before winning at Galway; this trip looks a bit short.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 -47%) Gaelic Arc	11 11/1(-47%)	(2) Gaelic Arc 11/1, Useful chaser. 7/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap chase at Killarney (20.8f, good to soft) 37 days ago, doing too much too soon. Not discounted. Made all in Killarney handicap over this trip but was reeled in over 2m5f at same track.

Career best when winning 10-runner novice chase (4/1) at Killarney (17f, good to soft) on debut over fences 37 days ago, all out. Respected. Useful hurdler made winning chase debut at Killarney, needing every yard of 2m1f trip.

The Willie Mullins-trained ARCTIC FLY can make it two wins from two starts over fences. A smart hurdler at her best, the six-year-old made a winning chase debut when just doing enough at Killarney last month. Although improvement will be required stepping up to Graded company here, the daughter of Walk In The Park could well be up to the task. Bowmore was very impressive on his first start over fences at Tipperary in July but disappointed at Killarney subsequently. If able to reproduce that initial effort, the Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding would be a serious contender. Thecompanysergeant, who finished behind Bowmore at Tipperary, has plenty of experience over fences so should be able to make his presence felt.

THECOMPANYSERGEANT showed a good attitude when scoring at Galway and can strike again. Killarney winner Arctic Fly is the obvious danger for Willie Mullins. Jesse Evans has more to offer in this sphere but finished well held in Sunday's Irish Cesarewitch.

An open Grade 3 and BOWMORE is a hopeful selection. He'll need to jump better than at Killarney but was good in that department on debut

The lightly-raced KUDASHEVA can follow up her recent win at Wexford. Having just her second start over fences, the Henry De Bromhead-trained mare easily beat a solid yardstick by 11 lengths. A former point-to-point winner with proven stamina, the daughter of Pour Moi should relish stepping back up in trip against her own sex. Paidi's Passion, who made a winning stable debut at this track in June, has shaped with promise on a couple of occasions since. The Paul Flynn-trained eight-year-old should appreciate this slightly easier assignment. Bella Bliss has been running well enough of late to suggest that she can shortly add to her five previous career wins.

KUDASHEVA looks to have been handed a lenient mark based on her win at Wexford last time and she's clearly the one to beat for all that Bella Bliss and Blenheim Belle represent formidable opponents.

Easy Wexford winner Kudasheva could be well treated but MENINDEE is only 3lb higher than when taking this last year and is preferred

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.
