LTO Selection:

13:10 Cork Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MIGHTY MO MISSOURI sets the standard here off a mark of 116 and can get his head in front. This is a drop in class now after he weakened tamely in the 'Boodles' at Cheltenham last month. He had been runner-up on his previous couple of outings and a repeat of that form would be enough to score now. Calico is becoming a touch frustrating and was turned over at a short price here last time. She is sure to be thereabouts again. Samadabad shaped with plenty of promise on his jumping debut when third at Navan and with natural improvement could be a big player now.

French Flat winner SAMADABAD shaped with plenty of promise whe third on his hurdles debut at Navan and, with improvement on the cards, he could be the answer. Mighty Mo Missouri was well held at the Cheltenham Festival but sets the standard back in maiden company judged on his solid placed efforts at Naas and Gowran. He is feared most ahead of Calico and Luminous Light.

Preference is for MIGHTY MO MISSOURI who sets the standard on his narrow defeats at Naas and Gowran

LTO Selection:

13:25 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CLASSIC LORD ran a nice race when fourth at Naas last time and looks capable of landing a maiden hurdle of this standard. That looked a slightly stronger race and the form has been boosted since by the runner-up, Thecompanysergeant. Ideal Du Tabert has run well in a couple of auction novice hurdles this year and he could be a danger now tried in a maiden hurdle for the first time. He chased home a smart mare in Della Casa Lunga at Leopardstown last time. I Am Fortunata, a wide margin bumper winner on his debut, hasn't looked straight-forward over jumps this term but has ability and could be a big player here.

Lots with chances but SIGN FROM ABOVE was a fair winner on the level and made a promising start in this sphere when fifth in a big field at Leopardstown so gets the verdict. Naas-third Valsorpresa also has better days ahead of him and is next on the list, although a solid case can also be made for both Classic Lord and Ideal du Tabert.

Absent since a highly promising fourth at Leopardstown over Christmas on similar ground SIGN FROM ABOVE gets the vote

LTO Selection:

13:34 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

THREE MACKS improved from first to second start when not beaten too far into fourth at Wincanton last month, and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get her head in front. Charlie Longsdon's filly gets the vote ahead of Bushtucker Park, who was a promising third at Huntingdon on her hurdles debut, and her stablemate Princess Poppy on her first run for this yard.

A race which is unlikely to take much winning and THREE MACKS looks the way to go having shown plenty again from the front under her young rider at Wincanton. Bizzy Moon, from a family the Skelton yard has done well with, is very interesting in this company. Bushtucker Park could also figure.

The suggestion is THREE MACKS who ran well enough last time out at Wincanton to suggest she can win a race like this.

LTO Selection:

13:40 Ffos Las Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CUTHBERT DIBBLE failed to reward his supporters when he was favourite for a premier handicap Sandown last month but he is hard to oppose now dropping in grade. His yard won this race with a similarly progressive type in 2019 and this fellow is an obvious candidate to follow the trend. Ben Pauling sent out last year's winner and his Storminhome is highly respected, as is The Same, who has plenty to offer.

A few with potential but CUTHBERT DIBBLE possesses the best form on offer and also has experience on his side so looks the way to go here. Olly Murphy's The Same went in at the first time of asking over hurdles at Market Rasen and is feared most with improvement very much in the pipelines, ahead of Doncaster-scorer Storminhome.

Storminhome and The Same are undoubtedly promising types but they face a strong rival in the shape of CUTHBERT DIBBLE.

LTO Selection:

13:45 Cork Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KNOCKANARD LADY has an official mark of 114 and looks capable of landing a race of this standard. She has contested Grade 3 races on her last couple of outings and although beaten a fair way when third at Limerick she wasn't that far away at Thurles previously when filling the same position behind Sa Fureur. This is a significant drop in class now. All About Lucy has also been third on her last couple of runs, in maiden hurdles, and she looks an obvious danger now. It didn't look the strongest event in which Knockraha Lass chased home Battle It Out here last time but she is another for the shortlist.

This looks ripe for KNOCKANARD LADY, who failed to put her best foot forward in a Grade 3 contest at Limerick last time but wasn't beaten far in that grade on her penultimate start and she should prove too good for these rivals. Knockraha Lass and Roccos Inspiration both hold solid each-way claims but Bobbisilver, who landed a maiden point last month, may emerge as the main danger on her Rules debut.

This is a good opportunity for the consistent KNOCKANARD LADY for whom trip and ground will not be a problem

LTO Selection:

13:55 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ROYAL MER shaped well for most of the race on his first run back since having a wind operation when second at Hereford last month and looks sure to make his presence felt in what looks an open contest on paper. Gary Moore runners always merit plenty of respect here and he is double handed with Abingworth and San Pedro De Senam. The latter has run with credit on both outings this year and may pose the biggest threat to the selection.

WATCHOUTITSCOOKIE is now going the right way from his basement mark and there should be more races to be won with him. Gary Moore can boast a tremendous record here and his pair Abingworth and San Pedro de Senam are feared most.

The unexposed BELGARUM can gain a first win on just his sixth career start.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The unexposed mare TOPHILL LOW could be on a nice mark here for her handicap debut. The daughter of Walk In The Park had a couple of nice runs before opening her account in good style at Thurles last month. The handicapper gave her a 5lb rise for that maiden win but she still looks attractively treated with further improvement possible. Connections will be hoping the ground continues to dry out for Ted Hastings who was in fine form when last seen. The Imperial Monarch gelding won twice over hurdles, across the water, and took a Flat maiden at Bellewstown on his most recent outing in September. L Anamour ran well when third behind Ottoman Style in a competitive heat at Down Royal last time and could be one for a place again here.

An ultra-competitive novice handicap. TED HASTINGS has a progressive profile and is taken to enhance his already impressive strike-rate on his return from a break. Gavin Cromwell pair The King of Prs and Invictus Machin head the many dangers along with Neveradullmoment.

JEEPYDOFF MEEL found 2m too sharp last time but his previous runs over this trip were solid and he could be well-handicapped

LTO Selection:

14:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A game winner over this trip at Wolverhampton last month, Cuban Grey can have another big say in proceedings on his return to handicapping. That said, CAESARS PEARL was only narrowly denied in maiden territory on her most recent run and commands respect on her handicap debut. She is well related and cannot be ignored, while Just A Spark and Wreck It Ryley add further spice to the mix.

CUBAN GREY reacted well to headgear when seeing off a next-time-out winner at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and, now back in a handicap from an attractive mark, he's just about the most persuasive option, This is competitive, with Just A Spark, Erosion Risk and Wreck It Ryley a trio of dangers.

It was all pretty straightforward for JUST A SPARK (nap) at Wolverhampton and this progressive filly can complete the hat-trick.

LTO Selection:

14:09 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Runner-up on his last three outings, SALADAM deserves a change in luck and the step back up in trip can see him get off the mark at the fifth time of asking under Rules. The Olly Murphy stable is in fine form and the six-year-old is preferred to School Days Over, who has the potential to improve over further, and A Definite Getaway.

SCHOOL DAYS OVER returns to the scene of his bumper win last spring and is taken to make it fourth time lucky over hurdles, most likely at the expense of Olly Murphy's Saladam. A Definite Getaway looks best of the remainder unless the betting speaks in the favour of the selection's stablemate Night Duty, who has been off for nearly 2 years since his point win.

Although SALADAM is maintaining his form, rather than improving on it, he is reliable and perhaps wind surgery will make life easier.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A 3lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent PAGEANT MATERIAL following up her course and distance success from 18 days ago. Isabel Williams retains the ride and another bold effort is expected from the partnership. Galante De Romay (fourth) didn't impress with her jumping in that aforementioned race but that effort came on the back of a 116-day absence and she should be sharper this time. Doctor Dotty (third) also renews rivalries with that pair and is another to consider.

DICEY RIELLY was a progressive sort over hurdles and looked to have the race in control when coming down 3 out at Uttoxeter on her chasing debut so is worth siding with despite having a six-month absence to overcome. Galante de Romay also found a late error costly when fourth over C&D on her chasing bow and is feared most ahead of Doctor Dotty who finished a place ahead of her that day.

Dicey Reilly could be well handicapped but carries risks. GALANTE DE ROMAY, an unlucky fourth here last time, gets the verdict.

LTO Selection:

14:20 Cork Conditions Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FILS D'OUDAIRIES bounced back to form when scoring at Leopardstown last month and may be able to follow up here. The Saint des Saints gelding had some very smart form in valuable handicaps and was good when beating Saint Sam by a cosy three-and-a-half lengths last time. A similar performance may be enough to score again. Cash Back doesn't have much to find at the weights and looks an obvious danger. He ran well in handicap company at Naas on his last outing and is a smart horse on his day. The dark horse in the field is his stablemate Mister Policeman, who makes his first start for Willie Mullins now having cost 120,000 euros at the sales just over a year ago. The five-year-old was impressive when winning over hurdles at Fontainebleau last March.

The eyes are immediately drawn to the unknown quantity MISTER POLICEMAN, who did the job well when winning the second of his two starts in juvenile hurdles in France last spring and has since joined the all-powerful Willie Mullins yard. It goes without saying that confidence behind the 5-y-o in the betting would look significant. He will need to be pretty decent in order to topple established smart performers Sole Pretender and Fils D'oudairies, though (feared most in that order of preference).

The race conditions look ideal for SOLE PRETENDER(nap) on his return from chasing and he should take all the beating

LTO Selection:

14:30 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HECTOR JAGUEN arrives here on the back of a comprehensive victory at Fontwell on Tuesday. The six-year-old has a 7lb penalty for that success and is likely to take all the beating, providing the quick turnaround doesn't inconvenience him. Extraordinary Man is having his first run back since wind surgery and could be fairly handicapped if that aids his cause. Mordred bounced back to form when third at Southwell last time and is respected.

With a return to a left-handed track likely to suit it might be worth chancing AGENT SAONOIS to make a winning return from a break for the Neil Mulholland team. Last week's Fontwell scorer Hector Jaguen rates an obvious threat, while Mordred also merits respect on the back of his Southwell third.

With this track likely to suit, AGENT SAONOIS is taken to gain a first chasing success.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ASHROE DIAMOND missed out on Cheltenham after failing to please on the build up to the Mares Novice Hurdle and can have her day in the sun now. The daughter of Walk In The Park had shown up well when mixing it with the boys earlier in the campaign with placed efforts behind Marine Nationale and Facile Vega in Grade 1 company. She was a convincing winner back against her own sex in the Grade 3 Solerina Hurdle here in January after overcoming some traffic problems and had Cheltenham third Halka Du Tabert behind that day. The second and third from Cheltenham turn up again here with Magical Zoe looking an obvious danger having filled the runner-up spot behind You Wear It Well last month. She wasn't helped when carried left by Halka Du Tabert at the last then but it probably didn't make a difference to the result in the end.

MAGICAL ZOE possesses plenty of speed so isn't certain to relish this trip but she shaped very well in the Dawn Run at Cheltenham last month so she rates the most appealing option. Ashroe Diamond looks a rock-solid opponent, while Princess Zoe, who finished behind the selection last time, will be suited by this distance and she has a bigger performance in her over timber.

Though unproven over this trip, runners by her sire often stay well and MAGICAL ZOE is tipped to go one better than at Cheltenham

LTO Selection:

14:40 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Racecourse experience could prove to be vital when considering PART TIME BRITAIN's chances here. He drops considerably in class having been well held in the Brocklesby at Doncaster earlier this month and could be worth siding with on his all-weather debut. Stablemates Zaphea and Chumbaa look the pick of the newcomers, although Mist Of Lir and King Garwood are also noted.

YORKSHIRE TERRIER makes a good bit of appeal on paper for a top yard that enjoyed plenty of success with juvenile newcomers last season and he could be the way to go before market clues. Mist of Lir is another interesting debutant, while Tees Douge and Part Time Britain bring Brocklesby form to the table and could improve plenty a week on.

The market should be informative. SOMMELIER brings a positive pedigree and represents a yard in decent early-season form.

LTO Selection:

14:44 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Now that the penny has dropped for EMILY WADE after a comfortable success at Southwell, there should be plenty more to come from the daughter of Lucky Speed as she looks to overcome a 5lb rise. Erigmoor produced a career-best effort when second at Wincanton last month and he looks to be her main danger, ahead of the capable Rory And Me.

EMILY WADE had a bit up her sleeve when opening her account over a longer trip at Southwell just under 3 weeks ago, and with better still to come, Sam England's charge is fancied to make light of a 5 lb rise in the weights and follow up. Erigmoor improved for the switch to a handicap when runner-up at Warwick 4 weeks ago, but he may have to settle for silver once again, with 10-y-o Kajaki rounding off the shortlist.

This can go to EMILY WADE who was running in only her second handicap when successfully upped in trip at Southwell.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Several of these are progressing nicely and the likes of Galudon, who will wear first-time cheekpieces, and Zambezi Fix and Conkwell Legend all hold strong form credentials. However, FINE CASTING was a respectable fourth in the Imperial Cup at Sandown which arguably sets a more testing standard and he looks the one to beat in this company running off the same mark.

BIG BRESIL's return from a near 2-year absence was full of promise and, sensibly given time to get over that, he looks ready to start making up for lost time in handicaps. There's depth to this, with Kepagge and Fine Casting heading the opposition.

A competitive handicap can go to the lightly raced BIG BRESIL who shaped encouragingly after a layoff at Ayr and retains potential.

LTO Selection:

14:55 Cork Beginners Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LARGY DEBUT looks the one to beat here. The Shirocco gelding has been placed in his four outings over fences and this is his easiest task to date. He was no match for Sir Gerhard at Gowran when last seen in January and had also been placed behind Mighty Potter earlier in the campaign on his chase debut. Aione was weakening when falling in the Leinster National at Naas last time but has some solid form over fences, with a mark of 126, and could be a player back in beginners company. Where It All Began ran a solid race when chasing home Mercury Lane at Wexford last month but probably has a bit to find with the aforementioned pair on that form.

A winner over hurdles here last term, LARGY DEBUT has kept good company since switched to fences, contesting maiden chases won by the likes of Gentlemansgame, Mighty Potter and Sir Gerhard, and this represents a golden opportunity for the 8-y-o to open his account in this sphere. Changing The Rules wouldn't be without an each-way chance if taking to this game but clear second choice is Where It All Began, who stepped up on his chase debut effort when second at Wexford last month.

Second in this last year, Aione is getting on but, if restored to his best, is capable of beating the unconvincing Largy Debut

LTO Selection:

15:05 Plumpton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

HIGHLAND FROLIC was thrown into a very competitive event at Musselburgh just over a fortnight ago and, despite finishing seventh on that occasion, he looks to have been found the ideal opportunity to open his account over hurdles. The Tom Lacey-trained Tune In A Box was strong in the market when fourth on debut in a bumper at Taunton and improvement is likely, while another worth consideration is Iskar D'airy, who was a creditable fourth here in February.

Having made the frame 3 times over hurdles, HIGHLAND FROLIC sets the standard in this line-up and he can open his account now in maiden company. Iskar d'Airy could be the main danger back down in trip, ahead of Happy Boy who showed promise at this C&D on his latest start.

This might be the chance for HIGHLAND FROLIC to gain an overdue win.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DOCTOR BRAVO sets a good standard here and can land a nice prize. The grey ran a cracker when third to stablemate Fil Dor in the Red Mills Trial Hurdle at Gowran in February and was a lively outsider going to the Supreme Novices last month. He just failed to quicken after meeting some traffic problems two from home then but wasn't disgraced in finishing eighth behind Marine Nationale. This is a drop in grade now and he remains a nice prospect. Willie Mullins runs four in the race and Paul Townend takes the mount on Parmenion. He was no match for Found A Fifty at Fairyhouse in January but opened his account in fine style when stepping up to this trip at Leopardstown early last month. There looks scope for further improvement from the Soldier Hollow gelding. Stablemate The Gunner Yeats was a wide margin winner at Thurles last month and that form got a boost the other day with the runner-up Feu Du Bresil scoring at Clonmel. Connections have had to be patient with the 310,000-pound purchase and it will be interesting to see how he fares up in class now.

Willie Mullins comes here mob-handed and his easy Leopardstown scorer PARMENION, who looks to have a fair bit more to offer, could prove the answer to this highly competitive Grade 2 event. Supreme Hurdle eighth Doctor Bravo rates a big threat on form and seems sure to be on the premises along with promising trio The Gunner Yeats, Deep Cave and Thecompanysergeant.

A good renewal with the nod going to PARMENION, who looked a different proposition upped to this trip at Leopardstown

LTO Selection:

15:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

STAR SPRITE steps up in trip following a seven-length defeat over a mile at Kempton in novice company when last seen in September and the daughter of Sea The Stars could be worth siding with on her return to action. Timewave has been gradually dropping in the handicap and is feared most, although Sovereign Spirit and Queenmambo cannot be completely ruled out.

STAR SPRITE is bred to come into her own now tackling middle distances and can strike on handicap debut. Charlie Johnston's Timewave may give her most to think about.

Timewave is solid but a chance is taken on STAR SPRITE, who is bred to be a whole lot better than this level.

LTO Selection:

15:19 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

In not the strongest of contests, preference is for the Mark Walford-trained HAVING A BARNEY. He kept on well to score over a similar trip at Ayr last month and can have another big say in proceedings off 4lb higher. Dellboy Trotter was last seen finishing a disappointing fourth over 3m1f at Huntingdon in October last year and could bounce back, while Minella Choice also warrants a market check.

HAVING A BARNEY is on the up since sent handicapping and also displayed a good attitude when getting off the mark at Ayr last time so can defy a 4 lb weight rise. Secret Trix didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Lingfield and is next on the list, with dual C&D winner Dellboy Trotter not ruled out either after a break.

The unexposed MINELLA CHOICE, a creditable third in a novice hurdle here last time, is taken to get off the mark on his handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 3) 28f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Only narrowly denied over an extended 3m4f at Taunton last month, Sidi Ismael can have a say in proceedings here, but this represents a drop in class for SUPER SURVIVOR and he shades the vote. He scored by five lengths over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow on his penultimate outing and should be taken lightly, despite being rated 7lb above that mark. Volcano and Southern Sam add further spice to the mix.

EQUUS DREAMER cranked it up another notch when successful at Haydock 3 weeks ago and, still unexposed over this sort of trip, he can land this good prize. Amateur has likely been primed in his pursuit for a hat-trick of wins in this race and is a big danger, with Super Survivor the potential improver in the race now tackling a new distance.

A third West Wales National may well be beckoning for AMATEUR (nap), who is selected ahead of Fuji Flight and Equus Dreamer.

15:30 Cork Conditions Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BACHASSON was very good on his return from a long absence at Clonmel last month and can bag another win here. Two-miles-six is as far as he's won over but it looks like going three miles shouldn't be an issue and the 12-year-old would appear to retain plenty of ability. Stablemate Chacun Pour Soi takes another step up in trip having failed to fire over two-and-a-half on his last couple of runs. The Policy Maker gelding was brilliant over the minimum trip a few years ago but hasn't run to that level this season and the trip would be a major worry here as he hasn't appeared to be getting home recently. Ronald Pump is one that will definitely see out this trip and it would be no surprise if he ran a big race. Feronily is a nice sort and it's interesting that connections pitch him in here for his chase debut. He faces some experienced and highly rated older rivals.

BACHASSON proved that plenty of ability remains intact when scoring on recent return from a two-year absence at Clonmel recently and, with this step back up in trip unlikely to be an issue, he should prove hard to beat. Judged on this season's evidence, stablemate Chacun Pour Soi is no longer at the peak of his powers and this trip represents a step into the unknown. As such, Feronily, who is clearly highly-regarded by connections, pitched into a Grade 3 for this chase debut, is feared most.

He's not proven over 3m but that's not enough of a concern to oppose BACHASSON who is bidding for his seventh win on the spin

LTO Selection:

15:40 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A convincing winner at Huntingdon last time out, course winner NORTHERN POET looks just the type to improve for stepping up in trip. A 3lb rise for that success looks manageable and he may have too much for the likes of Pawpaw, who won decisively at Hereford last month, and Hiway One O Three. The latter has done well since going over fences and is another that has potential over further.

HIWAY ONE O THREE came good at the third time of asking over fences at Market Rasen in February, and having lacked a bit of zip under a penalty at Leicester a week later, he's fancied to regain the winning thread stepped significantly up in distance. The main danger could be Northern Poet, who ultimately justified support but was never travelling well when scoring at Huntingdon last time. Pawpaw can fill out third spot.

In the expectation that the longer trip will suit, HIWAY ONE O THREE is selected.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Fairyhouse Novices Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HUNTERS YARN was slightly disappointing when a leading fancy for the County Hurdle at Cheltenham but can bounce back to winning ways here. The Fame And Glory gelding failed to make much impression last month when held up out the back but wasn't disgraced in finishing mid-division. He had been a good winner at Navan prior to that and a repeat of that comprehensive defeat of Imagine would make him the one to beat. American Mike hasn't lived up to his bumper form this season and was beaten favourite when fourth to Hunters Yarn at Navan. He was well beaten in the Ballymore at Cheltenham but could be a danger here if recapturing some form. The consistent Nucky Johnson has a bit to find at the weights with the selection but comes here in fine form and it wouldn't be a surprise if he ran a big race.

HUNTERS YARN wasn't able to provide Willie Mullins with another winner of the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last time, but he is taken to resume his progress and make it a sixth consecutive victory in this Grade 2 event for his leading trainer. Nucky Johnson could be the main danger in his bid for a hat-trick, with Hercule du Seuil completing the shortlist.

County Hurdle disappointment HUNTERS YARN gets the vote, ahead of the progressive Nucky Johnson

LTO Selection:

15:50 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

NA SCOITEAR is worth a try over this trip having kept on well in the closing stages over 7f at Newcastle 26 days ago. The Phillip Makin-trained gelding was supported in the betting that day and stepping into a maiden handicap from the same mark is a potentially good move. Leap Year Lad has run respectably since being gelded and is another with strong appeal, while Capofan and Indication Rocket also have the ability to go well.

LEAP YEAR LAD has looked a tricky customer, but he went as close as he ever has to winning at Newcastle last month, and with this contest unlikely to take much winning, Kevin Ryan's charge gets the verdict back in headgear. This trip should be right up Na Scoitear's street so he may emerge as the main danger, with Storyinthesand another who needs considering.

Preference is for LEAP YEAR LAD, who was unlucky first time out this season and then bumped into an improver.

LTO Selection:

15:54 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Out On The Tear has been knocking on the door of late and must hold every chance of building on his most recent second at Ayr, especially given Toby Wynne knocks 5lb off the gelding's back with his claim. However, SNOWY CLOUDS caught the eye when bolting up over an extended 1m7f at Catterick in February and is expected to be thereabouts off 8lb higher, despite stepping up in class. Fabrique En France is another of interest.

SNOWY CLOUDS resumed his progress when making it 2 wins from 3 starts over fences at Catterick in February, scoring hard held albeit he was left clear early on, and the 7-y-o is open to further progress as a chaser. He can score again, with Out On The Tear the one who can give the selection most to think about. Fabrique En France is the pick of the remainder.

There are a few questions to answer in this field and SNOWY CLOUDS (nap) looks the most solid option.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Ffos Las Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

INFERNO SACREE arrives on a four-timer and steps up in class following an emphatic win over this trip at Plumpton last month. He is now rated 11lb higher for that success, but he has shown plenty to suggest that will not be enough to stop him adding to his winning tally here. Benassi and Thunderclap both filled the runner-up spots on their latest outings and can give the selection plenty to think about.

THUNDERCLAP is a fairly useful Flat handicapper and is related to hurdles winners so he could be set for a big run now handicapping in this sphere having taken another step forward at Huntingdon. Inferno Sacree is a huge player in his bid for a 4-timer, with Benassi another to consider.

Thunderclap is feared but preference is for fellow handicap debutant BENASSI who has improved with every hurdles run to date.

LTO Selection:

16:05 Cork Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SPILLANE'S TOWER is a nice sort and he might not be badly treated here of a mark of 126 on his handicap debut. The Walk In The Park gelding was narrowly denied by a smart sort in Imagine at Wexford last October and that rival ran a big race in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham last month. Jimmy Mangan's charge was a cosy winner of his maiden hurdle at Naas in February and looks open to further improvement. Lucky Max was narrowly denied in a competitive contest at Naas last month and has to be respected. He went up 4lb for his nose defeat to Carnfunnock and connections offset 2lb of that by putting up Corey McGivern this time. L'yser is another unexposed sort who has to come into calculations. He won a decent contest at Fairyhouse last time when the front two pulled well clear. Despite a 9lb hike he should be competitive again.

L'YSER and Spillane's Tower are both of strong interest given their progressive profiles. The latter made it third time lucky in a Navan maiden in February and is not passed over at all lightly now moving into a handicap but marginal preference is for L'yser, who displayed a willing attitude when scoring at Fairyhouse last time and this 9 lb higher mark will probably be within his reach. Flying Scotsman, Lucky Max, Rebel Ivy and West Cork Wildway all hold each-way claims in a competitive race.

On his return from chasing, there is plenty to like about WEST CORK WILDWAY who is in good form and has a 9lb pull over hurdles

LTO Selection:

16:15 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

AUCUNRISQUE may have won this contest last year off 14lb lower, but there is every reason to suggest he can do so again if bouncing back to the form that saw him make all to claim success in the Betfair Hurdle. Chris Gordon's charge has a terrific strike rate over the smaller obstacles, and he is narrowly preferred to recent Ascot winner Blueking D'oroux, who has a 7lb penalty to shoulder, and the capable Teddy Blue.

AUCUNRISQUE gives more than a stone away to all but one of his rivals but he holds a significant class edge in this field and the nature of this tight Plumpton track should see him to good effect from the front. Blueking d'Oroux belatedly proved why he held a good reputation at Ascot last week and he's highly respected under a penalty, whilst Luttrell Lad was an eye-catcher in the County Hurdle and should win races for the Lacey yard.

After a storming run at Cheltenham, LUTTRELL LAD (nap) can win this good prize.

16:20 Fairyhouse Handicap Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DINOBLUE has been bumping into some smart sorts and deserves to win a nice prize. The Doctor Dino mare chase home Maskada in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham last time having also been runner-up to Magic Daze and Impervious this year. She has plenty of weight here but could outclass this field. Whiskeywealth was beaten at a short price over hurdles last time but had won his previous two over fences and on his return to the larger obstacles could be a danger. Aarons Day was running a nice race before falling in Grade 3 company at Naas last time and back in handicap company now he deserves to be on the shortlist.

DINOBLUE could barely have shaped with more encouragement when runner-up in the Grand Annual at the Cheltenham Festival last time and will surely be hard to beat here. Aarons Day shaped as if back in form in a Naas Grade 3 last time and is interesting having a rare spin over this trip, whilst handicap-newcomer Mount Brown appeals as a potential improver.

Having run a stormer in one of the strongest 2m handicap chases of the season at Cheltenham last time, DINOBLUE can go one better.

16:25 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Global Effort is interesting on these terms and is respected on debut for a new yard, while One Of Our Own, who has been placed five times over this trip, should be on the premises as she gets weight from all bar one of her rivals. Nevertheless, BRYCE is less exposed and, given there are all-weather winners in his pedigree, he could be good value to make a smooth transition to racing on a synthetic surface.

MOUNTAIN WARRIOR shaped well on debut and, while disappointing next time out, he's worth another chance to open his account having been gelded since last seen 8 months ago. Della was green first time out and might prove a different proposition and One of Our Own should give a good account of herself.

Perhaps the most interesting one is MOUNTAIN WARRIOR, a half-brother to three useful winners and open to improvement now gelded.

LTO Selection:

16:29 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

With just the four runners lining up for this contest, JAY JAY REILLY gets the vote dropping in both distance and grade. He struggled over an extended 2m4f at Kempton in a Grade 2 contest in February and this seems a more suitable assignment for him. Great Heart'Jac was a comfortable winner over 2m at Leicester, also in February, and should not be dismissed up in class. Ballybreeze completes the shortlist.

Sound cases can be made for each of the quartet here, but JAY JAY REILLY makes most appeal from a mark just 3 lb higher than for his miraculous Kempton win. Ballybreeze was flying too high in the Arkle last month but merits respect back in this grade, whilst Stormin Crossgales and Great Heart'jac both have plenty to like about them in a strong-looking race for the grade.

A case can be made for all four of these but preference is for topweight JAY JAY REILLY who drops in class and still has potential.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Ffos Las Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

AIRTOTHETHRONE had to go down as an unlucky loser when second at Chepstow three weeks ago having been hampered by a faller four out. He's been raised 1lb for that effort but, with conditions sure to suit, he's taken to gain some compensation here. Bucks Dream is having his first start over fences but is sure to have been well schooled by Peter Bowen, who landed this race last year. Twilight Glory is another who cannot be discounted, despite disappointing when a beaten favourite last time.

AIRTOTHETHRONE looks the most solid one here on the back of a good second at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Patient Owner ran a stinker last time but will be a threat if back to the level he showed in similar events prior to that. Peter Bowen chase newcomer Bucks Dream completes the shortlist.

Perhaps Tim Vaughan holds the key here. He saddles Twilight Glory and AIRTOTHETHRONE, with the latter getting a tentative vote.

16:40 Cork Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BETTER TIMES AHEAD got through testing conditions well in Navan last time and may be able to follow up here switching back to hurdles. The Walk In The Park gelding went up to a mark of 119 for his cosy win over fences last time so it's no surprise to see connections attempt to make use of an 11lb lower mark over timber now. Killinure Lass comes here on a hat-trick and has to be respected. She was value for a bit more than her winning margin here last time, over two-and-a-half miles. She went up another 6lb for that win but could still be on a competitive mark. Atlantian has been knocking on the door and despite creeping up a few pounds could get involved at the business end again here.

A much-deserved first taste of success beckons for ATLANTIAN, who has found just one too good on each of his last three starts and a 2 lb rise for his latest effort at Limerick is very fair indeed, given that he pulled well clear of the rest with the winner. He is unexposed as a stayer, too. Better Times Ahead is an obvious threat back hurdling having scored off just a 1 lb lower chase mark at Navan recently, while Atacanter is open to improvement and West Breeze is also accorded respect.

Plenty have chances, but slight preference is for ELSANNAH who was good value for her victory at Naas and an 8lb rise gives her a chance

LOVE IS GOLDEN has taken to hurdling well and was unchallenged when making all to score by an impressive 39 lengths over an extended 2m at Newbury last month. The five-year-old must be of significant interest switching to handicapping for the first time in this sphere. He does have to shoulder top-weight, though, so El Muchacho can give him plenty to think about dropping in class from his latest run. Tightenourbelts is another to bear in mind on his handicap debut.

LOVE IS GOLDEN has taken well to hurdling and, having doubled his tally in ready fashion at Newbury last time, he looks potentially well treated off an opening mark of 125. Tightenourbelts is open to improvement and Bold Reaction also looks the type to do better now handicapping.

There's no shortage of interest in this field but topweight LOVE IS GOLDEN could be the one to side with in his first handicap hurdle.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Fairyhouse Conditions Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MIGHTY POTTER failed to shine at Cheltenham but can bounce back to winning ways here. The Martaline gelding was considered one of the 'bankers' of the week at the festival but failed to pick up when third to Stage Star. He did hang to his right on the run-in, suggesting something wasn't right, and was reported to be sore afterwards so it may pay to forgive that run. He had looked a star in the making previously with impressive Grade 1 wins at the Dublin Racing festival and in the Drinmore Chase. Willie Mullins saddles six of the nine runners and a couple of the likely dangers. Sir Gerhard ran too bad to be true at Cheltenham when he jumped poorly. He is better than that and it would be no surprise to see last year's Ballymore Hurdle winner produce a much better effort now. Stablemate Appreciate It was half a length behind Mighty Potter in the Turners Novice Chase last month and also didn't look comfortable in the closing stages when hanging left. He is another who is capable of a big show at his best.

MIGHTY POTTER didn't quite come up to expectations at Cheltenham but he was far from disgraced and, back on home soil, he's firmly expected to resume winning ways. Appreciate It also arrives on the back of a respectable run at the Festival and Sir Gerhard remains with potential.

MIGHTY POTTER (nap) doesn't seem well suited by Cheltenham but was previously impressive in the C&D Grade 1 Drinmore, so is selected.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A winner of his last two starts over C&D, BLACKJACK has put together an excellent record around here and his most recent close call at Chelmsford suggests that he is still very much in form. Fellow C&D winner Em Jay Kay has ground to find with the selection but must enter calculations, alongside the determined Kempton winner Dark Side Thunder.

A case can be made for all of these but AIRSHOW still looks handily weighted despite taking a 3 lb rise for his recent course win so gets the nod. Churchill Bay has quickly got back on track since joining Ronald Thompson and is feared most ahead of C&D winners Dark Side Thunder, Blackjack and Em Jay Kay.

There are grounds for thinking that DARK SIDE THUNDER can take another step up the ladder back here following his recent Kempton win.

LTO Selection:

17:04 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

BETTY BALOO handled these fences well on her only previous visit to this course and, having proven her stamina with a good second over 3m1f at Catterick 40 days ago, she could go one better. Tim Easterby's mare was well supported in the betting that day and another big run is expected with trip and ground to suit. Animal has a good record over fences and joins the first-time blinkered Eclair De Guye on the shortlist.

BETTY BALOO cemented an excellent start to her chasing career when second at Catterick and, now back from a short break, she looks the way to go. Animal isn't fully exposed over 3m and is feared most.

Recent form points to this being between Animal and BETTY BALOO, with the latter having less to prove if the ground turns good.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Ffos Las NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

The eye is drawn to the Paul Nicholls newcomer Insurrection, who was a most impressive winner of his point-to-point four months ago in Ireland. That said, THE JUKEBOX MAN put up a similar performance before being purchased for 70,000 pounds. He ran a fine race to finish second on his first start for Ben Pauling at Chepstow three weeks ago and is fancied to go one better. Montys Soldier is another who impressed between the flags and is worth a market check.

INSURRECTION has already won a point and his top yard has dominated this sphere in 2022/23, so he gets the nod ahead of The Jukebox Man, who was an excellent second on his Rules debut at Chepstow. Shillanavogy is another interesting recruit from points.

The Jukebox Man's Chepstow second is the best form but a chance is taken with easy points winner MONTYS SOLDIER on his rules debut.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Cork NH Flat Race 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WILL DO has been placed in some strong bumpers over the winter and can get his head in front now. The Walk In The Park gelding was third to Cheltenham runner-up Fact To File at Leopardstown over Christmas and most recently chased home Tullyhill in Gowran. A repeat of any of his runs may be enough now. Willie Mullins introduces point-to-point runner-up The Ballyline Man and he commands respect. The Masterofthehorse gelding cost £100,000 after chasing home Captain Teague at Knockanard last February and the winner was third in the Cheltenham bumper last month. Answer To Kayf is another who was second on his sole point-to-point outing and the market may prove the best guide to his chances.

Willie Mullins' record in bumpers speaks for itself and THE BALLYLINE MAN is taken to provide the yard with yet another winner. He chased home Captain Teague in a maiden point last February, which represents strong form in light of the winner's excellent effort at the Cheltenham Festival last month. Will Do has shown more enough to suggest that he'll pick up a race before long but is probably up against a useful recruit in The Ballyline Man. Captain's Pick is worth a second look in the betting.

Willie Mullins will have a line on what is required to beat Will Do and THE BALLYLINE MAN is likely to be hard to beat

LTO Selection:

17:25 Plumpton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A case can be made for several of these, but the vote goes to DOYANNIE, who was only narrowly denied over 2m at Taunton last month. Ben Godfrey negates all of the mare's 3lb rise for that run, with his claim being the same amount, and she must command respect in first-time blinkers, having scored here on her penultimate start. The Cathal Don, who was runner-up to the selection when last seen, and Dindin rate her most serious dangers.

THE CATHAL DON is very well handicapped on his best Irish form and could be capable of reversing placings with Doyannie after a promising return behind her here 6 weeks ago. He should stay this longer trip and makes a lot more appeal than his old rival who threw away her chance since at Taunton. Ramore Will can never be dismissed around here.

Blinkers could see DOYANNIE repeat her course win from February.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Fairyhouse NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD looked very smart when making a wide margin winning debut at Gowran Park in February and can land a valuable prize here. The Kapgarde filly cost a massive 310,000 euros as a store and is a half-sister to stablemate Mighty Potter as well as French Dynamite and Indiana Jones. Willie Mullins runs a couple with Patrick taking the mount on Gigginstown gelding Grand Slam Slam. The Blue Bresil gelding is a half-brother to a decent sort in Stoner's Choice and from the family of Ferny Hollow. Jamie Codd takes the ride on newcomer Dee Capo for Gordon Elliott, trainer of the selection. This Maxios gelding cost 230,000 euros as a store and is from the family of Vauban.

BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD eased clear to make a winning start at Gowran 50 days ago and she should be able to defy a penalty despite the presence of some solid opposition in Grand Slam Sam and the selection's stablemate Dee Capo, both of whom fetched plenty as store horses.

The sole bumper winner in the field, it is hard to look beyond BRIGHTERDAYSAHEAD who looked smart at Gowran and goes unpenalised

LTO Selection:

17:35 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A convincing winner over C&D last month, LORD CHERRY must hold every chance of following up now returned to handicap company. Stuart Williams' charge can make it three wins from his last five starts at the main expense of the consistent Written Broadcast and Kodebreaker, who won well over further here last time out. Others to note include Back From Dubai, Elladora and Stallone.

WRITTEN BROADCAST really has thrived on his racing this year and might be good for another win. Elladora made a good return to action at Newcastle recently and is feared most ahead of Lord Cherry, who boasts a 2-2 C&D record.

Plenty to consider but KODEBREAKER did well to overcome trouble in running here last week and his new mark is very manageable.

LTO Selection:

17:39 Market Rasen NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

TAKE NO CHANCES, who swapped hands for 95,000 pounds after she won and Irish point-to-point, has posted two respectable efforts in bumpers since joining Dan Skelton and offers strong appeal in her bid to make it third-time lucky. The daughter of Milan has valuable course experience and is an interesting prospect going forward. Rockstown Native also won between the flags prior to joining Jonjo O'Neill and is going the right way. Kandor completes the shortlist.

TAKE NO CHANCES sets the standard and should be able to open his account at the third attempt. Bhaloo has been off the track more than a year since an encouraging debut but he's still worthy of respect, while Kandor looks a notable Rules newcomer having won a point.

Preference is for BHALOO, who was fourth in a strong race at Kempton in March last year, ahead of the promising Take No Chances.

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.
