LTO Selection:

13:25 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Thia is the pick of those with race experience having shown some encouraging signs when fourth at Cork. That said, preference is still for DEMOCRACY, who is a full-brother to last year's Oh So Sharp winner and Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf fourth Midnight Mile. River Tiber, a stablemate of the selection, is an obvious threat given that he cost 480,000gns last year, while Jalaybee is bred to be quick and is another to note.

The first 6f maiden for juveniles in Ireland and Aidan O'Brien can land the spoils again with DEMOCRACY getting the vote over stablemate River Tiber. Thia could leave his debut run behind up in trip, while Dermot Weld's Jalaybee is one to note in the betting.

Aidan O'Brien saddles two of the four newcomers. The pair may dominate and perhaps RIVER TIBER will be more forward than Democracy

1st (5) William Of York (3/1 +0%)
William Of York

3/1(+0%)
(5) William Of York 3/1, Bounced straight back from a disappointing handicap debut when beating the reopposing Sonnemoser a length at Wetherby (2m, soft) under Tristan Durrell last month. 4 lb rise unlikely to prevent another prominent showing if his stamina holds now stepping up in trip.
2
2nd (4) Sonnemoser (0.8/1 +60%)
Sonnemoser

0.8/1(+60%)
(4) Sonnemoser 0.8/1, Some promise in bumpers and novice hurdles for Evan Williams and made a sound start in handicaps for new stable when length second to William of York over 2m at Wetherby last month. Longer trip should suit and likely has a race in him soon.

3rd (6) Percy Willis (11/1 +0%)
Percy Willis

11/1(+0%)
(6) Percy Willis 11/1, In reasonable heart on the level over the winter. Modest form in 2m novice hurdles in recent weeks but could take a step forward now handicapping over a longer trip.
4
4th (3) City Roller (8/1 +60%)
City Roller

8/1(+60%)
(3) City Roller 8/1, Runner-up in bumpers and also placed in a Newcastle novice hurdle in February. Does need to shrug off a poor effort on last month's handicap debut, though.
5th
5th (7) Black Lightning (10/1 +50%)
Black Lightning

10/1(+50%)
(7) Black Lightning 10/1, Won twice in the first half of 2021/22 campaign. Largely struggled since but latest Southwell third was a slight step back in the right direction. Needs to build upon that now.
|PU|
|PU| (8) Ace Time (80/1 +20%)
Ace Time

80/1(+20%)
(8) Ace Time 80/1, Dual hurdles winner late in 2021 but his form has nosedived since. 9 lb out of the weights here and a big outsider.
LTO Selection:

13:35 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Samtara bolted up off a 4lb lower mark over an extended 2m3f at Hereford and enters calculations, but he could face a tough assignment off top-weight. Therefore, it may pay to side with SONNEMOSER, who arrives here following a creditable second to William Of York over 2m at Wetherby. Dr Richard Newland's six-year-old is better off at these weights, so he is more than entitled to reverse that form.

SONNEMOSER was behind William of York when second on his 2m handicap/yard debut at Wetherby last month, but he is 8 lb better off at the weights with Dan Skelton's charge this time if jockey claims are taken into account, and today's extra yardage promises to suit so he's taken to turn the tables. Last year's winner Hardy Boy looks best of the remainder.

Percy Willis is potentially very well handicapped but SONNEMOSER can take a good step forward now upped in distance.

LTO Selection:

13:40 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This doesn't look a strong contest and SILENT APPROACH has shown enough recently to give her the winning of a race of this standard. The Walk In The Park filly made the running at Wexford last time before fading to finish fourth, having been a solid enough second behind the impressive Lantry Lady at Gowran previously. She probably doesn't have to improve much on those performances. She should confirm placings with the 91-rated I Sea The Moon, who was fourth at Gowran. Double Pink was also behind the selection when sixth at Gowran. That was effectively her jumping debut, having been carried out early at Wexford six days previously, and she could be open to a bit of improvement.

A distinctly ordinary maiden and a good opportunity for SILENT APPROACH, who is the one to beat judged on her hurdling debut second at Gowran. I Sea The Moon is feared most ahead of Double Pink.

SILENT APPROACH should relish a return to this trip having failed to see out further last time and she sets the standard on form

LTO Selection:

13:50 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

FAME AND FUN has been knocking on the door in recent starts, including when filling the runner-up spot at Newbury on his latest appearance, and the Paul Nicholls-trained six-year-old could regain the winning thread down in class. Taunton scorer Stanley Pincombe merits the utmost respect, as does Energy One, who was far from disgraced in a Grade 2 mares' novices' handicap at Newbury.

FAME AND FUN has been in good order since scoring at Taunton just after Christmas and he could get back to winning ways now. Great Ocean is one to note dropping back in trip after a more encouraging effort and Stanley Pincombe should go well again.

Top of the list is FAME AND FUN, who has held his form well since his win in December and may yet have a bigger run in him.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Curragh Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Meditate won this race last year and went on to land a Grade 1 at the Breeders' Cup last November. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained PORTA FORTUNA could be one to follow for the upcoming turf season. She's bred to appreciate further in time on the dam's side of her pedigree, but the Caravaggio filly should not lack for speed and might be worth siding with. Jenni and Blame Thechampagne make enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check, while Cornahilt Soldier could improve on her recent C&D sixth.

JENNI's dam was a sharp 2-y-o and she represents a yard firmly among the winners so she's the way to go before market clues. Porta Fortuna and Neo Smart are also likely types on paper.

Representing a yard that has already unleashed a smart juvenile, JENNI has the pedigree to be precocious and is selected.

LTO Selection:

14:05 Huntingdon Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

This represents a drop in grade for BLUE BEACH, who kept on for second over a similar trip at Newbury on her latest outing last month. She seemed to benefit from the application of cheekpieces on that occasion and a 7lb penalty for a six-length success on her penultimate outing may not be enough to stop her here. Artemis Kimbo sports a first-time tongue-tie and is feared most, while Just Sophie is another to bear in mind.

MOVIDDY finished a fair way behind Blue Beach in a competitive handicap at Newbury last month, but she's much better off on these terms and is well worth another chance having created a good impression prior to that. Artemis Kimbo can prove best of the rest if a first-time tongue strap has a positive effect.

The addition of cheekpieces sparked improvement from BLUE BEACH at Newbury three weeks ago and she can to gain a third success.

LTO Selection:

14:15 Tramore Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

VICEREGENT has to carry a penalty in this, having won on the Flat, but may prove the pick. The Nathaniel gelding has been very consistent this season and has been placed behind some smart sorts, most notably Marine Nationale. He looked to get caught for a bit of toe last time at Cork when dropping back to two miles. He rallied well in the closing stages when chasing home Starzov and should appreciate going back to two and a half miles. Potters Party is the other obvious contender in the race having been placed last time out at Limerick. The Mahler gelding was third to So Des Flos then, when making a few slight errors, and could be capable of a bit better than that. The Willie Mullins-trained Macdermott was behind Potters Party when fifth last time and needs to step up on that form.

POTTERS PARTY and Viceregent are the clear form picks here, the former narrowly preferred. Macdermott stepped up on his hurdles debut run when fifth at Limerick and may prove best of the rest.

Buckhorn Rocco

4.5/1(+25%)
(11) Buckhorn Rocco 4.5/1, Bumper winner who has made the frame in 4 novice hurdles. Bit disappointing when only third at Exeter last time but looks the sort to benefit from first-time headgear now handicapping. Interesting.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Wincanton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Having struck the woodwork in a 0-145 contest at Kempton last time out, THE BOMBER LISTON can take full advantage of a drop in class to score from a 1lb higher mark. First-time cheekpieces could elicit further improvement within handicap debutant Buckhorn Rocco, while El Muchacho must also enter calculations having run well for third in a class 2 handicap at Bangor last month.

BUCKHORN ROCCO has already spurned a couple of good opportunities over hurdles but he's unexposed and well treated on bumper form, so he's worth a chance to make a winning handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces. The Bomber Liston and Hermes du Gouet are both feasible dangers.

The pick is EL MUCHACHO, who didn't seem to be favoured by the way the race panned out when third last time and may still be improving.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Curragh Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A stiffer stamina test looks set to suit TIME TELLS ALL and Dermot Weld's colt must hold every chance of building on a pleasing second over a mile at Navan last month. The son of Sea The Stars is very well-related and is expected to break his maiden at the second time of asking. Cape Bridgewater has filled the runner-up spot on his last two runs and can give the selection plenty to think about, while Deakin is another to bear in mind.

CAPE BRIDGEWATER looked quite hard work on reappearance but he advanced his form nonetheless and with blinkers fancied to sharpen him up, he is the most persuasive option. Deakin and Time Tells All are feared most with Young Ireland starting to look exposed.

Derby entry TIME TELLS ALL(nap) is a confident selection to go one better than his promising 1m Navan debut.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Only narrowly denied on his chase debut over 2m at Hereford recently, CHESTNUT PETE could benefit from a stiffer stamina test here. The gelded son of Native Ruler must hold every chance of being in the mix, but Master Malcolm bolted up over C&D last month and commands respect now rated 8lb higher for that success. Out The Glen and Duke Of Luckley add further spice to the mix.

MASTER MALCOLM has taken his form up a level since the blinkers went on and is weighted to follow up his easy C&D success despite taking a 8 lb rise. Tom Creen is proving a good advert for Sam England and is feared most ahead of C&D scorer Out The Glen and Hereford runner-up Chestnut Pete.

Olly Murphy's OUT THE GLEN has resumed from his absence in good nick and this front-runner should put up another bold show.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Tramore Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LILIAN BLAND is a keen-goer who has shown good and consistent form. Winner of a February point-to-point, her two subsequent hurdle runs were useful and she is suited by this distance and easy ground. Richie Deegan seemingly sides with her over Well Loved, who was a final-flight faller when holding just place claims at Naas, with her previous form being ordinary. Royal Rhythm likes testing ground, is trip-versatile and ran fine in a better handicap at Limerick last month. Hard Target was well held on a recent run but had won previously and today's rider claims 5lb. Port Rashid is 12 but continues in fine fettle,while maidens Anstand and Early Arrival both disappointed on recent runs but had run well previously.

ANSTAND was looking ahead of his mark before a poor run last time and he could find more improvement for the longer trip, so he's preferred to in-form pair Lilian Bland and Early Arrival.

EARLY ARRIVAL was only narrowly denied in a stronger race than this at Gowran recently and his subsequent run is best ignored

LTO Selection:

15:00 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

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

Double Click wasn't disgraced on his Rules/hurdling debut at Fontwell recently, finishing third, and he merits respect with improvement likely, but a chance is taken on PRINCE NINO. Harry Derham's charge drops back into maiden company having struggled on his last two handicap starts, and first-time blinkers could hold the key to him. Others to note include Cumhacht and Well Paid Soldier.

By no means a strong maiden hurdle so CUMHACHT, who stopped the slide for this yard switched to hurdling in a race that worked out well, could be the answer. Double Click and Prince Nino are possible threats.

This uncompetitive maiden might go to DOUBLE CLICK, who shaped with promise on his recent rules debut.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Curragh Group 3 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Point Lonsdale likely has more to offer this season now facing a stiffer test of stamina and Aidan O'Brien's lightly-raced colt isn't taken lightly on this first attempt over 1m2f. However, PIZ BADILE posted a fine runner-up effort in the Irish Derby here in June and should not have a problem handling this drop in trip. The son of Ulysses makes slightly more appeal and just shades the vote. Self Belief (third) enjoys a 3lb pull with Visualisation (first) on their recent encounter at Naas and the duo shouldn't be underestimated.

POINT LONSDALE has been absent since last year's 2000 Guineas but he was very classy at 2 and could have a bit too much for this opposition if retaining his ability. Recent Naas listed scorer Visualisation might be the one to take advantage should the selection fail to fire. Piz Badile struggled in top 3-y-o company last summer but should make more of an impact with his sights lowered on his return.

There are two potential class-acts here, and perhaps it will pay to take a chance with former Group 2-winning juvenile Point Lonsdale,

LTO Selection:

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

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

Disappointing when pulled up on his stable debut at Sandown last November, MATTERHORN showed his true colours when easily getting off the mark at Taunton last month. A 7lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up, and he gets the vote ahead of the comfortable Wetherby winner Cruz Control and Dancila, who has had a fine start to his career in this sphere.

This is a deeper race than the one MATTERHORN won at Taunton, but it was still a taking performance and he's fancied to follow up. Cruz Control and Dancila are considered the main threats.

All the hurdle-race winners are in the mix but DANCILA may well be the pick judged on the form he showed at Musselburgh and Taunton.

LTO Selection:

15:25 Tramore Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MASTER BREFFNI was a gambled third at Naas and might gain compensation. The winner franked the form by winning subsequently and, being unexposed, the selection can continue to progress, dropping slightly in distance. Might Jeremy has bounced back from long layoffs in his career and both he and the runner-up pulled well clear of the remainder at Clonmel. He is 8lb higher and is keen, but is also lightly raced and might progress some more. Costanuci improved on handicap debut in February, where the fourth horse won twice subsequently. She, too, is open to progression and can get involved on her first run for 53 days. Point-to-point winner Just Hannah debuts for Charles Byrnes and while catching the eye in September, would prefer summer ground. Unheralded was well held on heavy ground at Clonmel, but beat plenty of horses and had previously run well at that venue in a race which has worked out well.

MIGHTY JEREMY landed a bit of a gamble when an impressive winner at Clonmel 10 days ago and this low mileage 9-y-o seems sure to go well again. The unexposed Costanuci just lost out in a 3-way photo at Punchestown last time and is feared most ahead of potential improvers Kilmurry Jj and Just Hannah.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Wincanton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

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

Having offered encouragement in his first three starts over hurdles, bumper winner ODIN'S QUEST appeared to run too badly to be true when pulled up at Huntingdon. Given the stunning subsequent form of the Gary Moore yard, he's probably worth another chance in a race which might not take too much winning. Alternatives include Hobb's Delight who, despite being stoutly-bred, showed up well in a Worcester bumper first time out and Milton Harris' hurdling newcomer Definite, who scored on the Flat for Ralph Beckett last summer.

A weak maiden so bumper-winner ODIN'S QUEST is worth another chance to confirm hurdles debut promise with his yard in red-hot form. Definite took a step back in the right direction on the Flat 6 weeks ago and can go close if taking to this sphere at the first attempt, so is feared most ahead of Jack Sprat, who stepped up on his hurdles bow when third at Huntingdon.

The Flat-race speed of DEFINITE means he should have a big part to play if he doesn't turn his nose up at hurdling.

LTO Selection:

15:45 Curragh Group 3 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Paddy Twomey has excelled with French recruits in the past and he looks to have another smart filly on his hands in the shape of MEA DOMINA. The daughter of Pivotal gave a bold sight from the front in the Heritage Stakes, only to be worn down late on, and this trip should prove ideal as she looks to uphold form with course winner Power Under Me (fifth). Formerly with Peter Schiergen in Germany, Goldana is one to note for market support, while her talented stablemate Hannibal Barca is not without claims either.

POWER UNDER ME holds the edge on form and should be all the better for his reappearance Leopardstown fifth so gets the vote in an open Group 3. Mea Domina made an encouraging start for her new yard when third in the same contest so rates a big threat, while the Joseph O'Brien trained-duo Goldana and Hannibal Barca must enter calculations too.

French import MEA DOMINA made a bright start to her Irish career at Leopardstown and may uphold form Power Under Me

LTO Selection:

15:50 Huntingdon Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of THE QUESTIONER, who has been plying his trade over fences this year but was in fine form when last seen over the smaller obstacles. The seven-year-old has only been outside of the first two once in his last five starts in this sphere, and that consistency can see him master the consistent Armchair Farmer, who is bound to make it a test from the front. Grillon De Monty and Lanspark cannot be ruled out either.

THE QUESTIONER was let down by his jumping at Sedgefield last time, but he'd been progressing well prior to that and looks interesting now returning to hurdles having won an Ascot handicap when last seen in this sphere. The step up in trip could suit Judicial Law, while Armchair Farmer can be give given another chance having possibly found the race coming too soon at Doncaster.

Running again so quickly provides a ready excuse for ARMCHAIR FARMER's latest start and he was thoroughly dominant a week earlier.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Tramore Conditions Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAINT SAM has found a soft touch on his return to fences. Runner-up in the 2021 Fred Winter Hurdle at Cheltenham and Grade 1-placed over fences, he was well held in the County Hurdle last month but had previously shown smart form this season and returns to fences at a country track. Halsafari has 43lb to find with the selection on their Leopardstown hurdle clash last month and is rated 42lb lower over fences. However, he could finish second, being in-form, race-fit and suited by conditions. Minella Escape is a capable 130-performer on his day but his form is more out-than-in and he struck into himself when pulling up at Fairyhouse in December.

SAINT SAM should win this comfortably barring accidents. Minella Escape can follow him home.

A poor turnout and seemingly a golden opportunity for SAINT SAM providing he stays

16:10 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

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

Despite their advancing years, Duc De Beauchene and Wick Green remain a pair of doughty campaigners and both are capable of again getting into the argument here after recent second-place finishes. For all that, it may pay to give another chance to O'FAOLAINS LAD, who bagged successive wins in the autumn of 2021, including over C&D, before unshipping Gavin Sheehan early on his comeback at Taunton on Thursday.

WICK GREEN has bounced back to his best since joining Ben Pauling and looks the solid option with most arriving with something to prove. O'Faolains Lad got no further than the third in his belated comeback at Taunton on Thursday so is worth another chance to see what he can do, while Duc de Beauchene should be on the premises again.

Preference is for WICK GREEN who made a winning debut for his new yard at Ffos Las and ran well in defeat next time.

LTO Selection:

16:20 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A few of these clashed over five furlongs here last month and it would come as no surprise to see DOWNFORCE (fifth) reverse that form with Laugh A Minute (winner) and Swift Flight (third) over this longer trip. The selection is a dual C&D winner under similar conditions and has gone well for Jessica Maye before. Big Gossey also appeals back at this distance having faced a much stiffer test the Irish Lincolnshire 22 days ago.

MAGICAL VISION only seems to do enough when in front which is enabling her to stay ahead of the assessor. This lightly-raced 6-y-o may have even more to offer so is fancied to complete the hat-trick, albeit in a competitive race. Earls, Hurricane Ivor and Tawaazon are just a trio of potential threats.

Though he is 4lb out of the handicap, TAWAAZON is still 11lb below his AW rating and has the assistance of a fine 5lb claimer.

LTO Selection:

16:25 Huntingdon Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

DROP HIM IN won over C&D last month and he must hold every chance of following up. The seven-year-old should be capable of upholding that form with Doyens De Ante (second), who has over five lengths to make up. Eurkash looked to still be going well when falling four out at Plumpton and the form of that race has worked out very well since, while Mister Tickle must be of interest for the in-from Gary Moore outfit.

DROP HIM IN has steadily found his feet for Olly Murphy and is taken to defy an 8 lb rise in the weights and follow up his recent breakthrough C&D success. Doyens de Ante chased him home that day and is again fancied to fill second spot, with the handily-weighted Frau Georgia another to consider if on song.

Judged on the manner of his C&D win last time, DROP HIM IN (nap) may well find further improvement to score again.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Tramore Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

OLD SOUL is a progressive six-year-old and is ideally suited by testing ground. He chased home the now 128-rated Queen Jane (when conceding 7lb) in February, won on his recent Clonmel run, and will be suited by stepping up in distance and by today's rider claiming 5lb on handicap chase debut. Tyre Kicker won over course and distance in January and then beat a subsequent winner at Fairyhouse. However, he was a fortunate winner at Leopardstown last month, is 3lb higher and, interestingly, is held by the selection on a December 2022 hurdle clash. Brideswell Lad was the unlucky loser of that March Leopardstown race, but was well enough beaten since. Lizrona is 6lb higher than when winning at Clonmel and while today's rider claims an extra 4lb, faces a tougher task. Sunnyvilla has beaten both Presenting Point and Priory Park into second to win his two races and each are able types at this level.

TYRE KICKER arrives on a four-timer and can improve again back up in trip, so he takes preference over Old Soul, who upped his game to open his account over fences at Clonmel last time. Clounts Pride is also considered.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Wincanton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Flash Gorcombe got off the mark at Taunton but it looked a weak race, and last-start Leicester scorer OBEY THE RULES might prove a safer proposition given the better accuracy of his jumping. Donald McCain's charge looks to have further wins in him at this sort of level, though En Coeur would be a danger if returning to the form he showed when hacking up at Plumpton in January.

DIME STORE COWGIRL might have simply been in too deep at Class 2 level last time and this former point winner is taken to bounce straight back now switching to fences. Obey The Rules is largely reliable and may provide the chief threat ahead of recent Taunton scorer Flash Gorcombe.

Obey The Rules has a solid chance but FLASH GORCOMBE looked to have some potential at this level when winning at Taunton.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Just the two runnings of this race have seen winners at 80/1 and 12/1 and with a long list of unknown quantities and potential improvers to deal with, all things seems possible. Despite that, there are two standout contenders in Run Ran Run, second on both his starts and only beaten a neck and a short head, and DESERT HAVEN. Noel Meade's colt was just a head behind Run Ran Run when third at Naas, despite taking a bump close home, and could be considered an unlucky loser. The rest look equally matched, but Roaming Star may have the most potential for improvement.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and RUN RAN RUN is confidently expected to build on his promising recent Naas second and open his account. Desert Haven is more experienced and has the form to play a part too with Jessica Harrington's newcomer First Gentleman not discounted either, especially if there is a market move in his favour.

On form this looks between RUN RAN RUN and Desert Haven. The former is preferred, as he has only had two runs.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Huntingdon NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Ever Ready arguably sets the standard of those who have raced so far having finished midfield on her debut at Wetherby last month, but a chance is taken on Jonjo O'Neill's well-bred LAND GENIE. The son of Flemensfirth is a half-brother to the magnificent Constitution Hill and he is sure to take some stopping if remotely close to that level of ability. Man Of My Dreams also requires a market check on debut for Ben Pauling.

The market should prove revealing but Olly Murphy's Flemensfirth gelding BORODALE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when an odds-on fourth on his debut at Market Rasen so gets the vote with a fair bit of improvement in the pipeline. Newcomers Man of My Dreams (second choice) and Land Genie both appeal on paper and are in good hands so need considering too, especially if the market vibes are positive.

It will be intriguing to see what the market makes of Constitution Hill's half-brother Land Genie. BORODALE has the proven form.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Tramore Handicap Chase 15f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

In a fairly open contest, it might pay to take a chance on DREAMSRMADEOFTHIS. Enda Bolger's mare ran well in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Thurles in February, finishing third. This C&D should hold no fears having hit the woodwork on her sole start around here, and she might not need to improve much further to get off the mark over fences. Jack Holiday landed this two years ago and merits respect, while Freddie Robdal should not be underestimated for his leading yard. Others to note include Know The Game and Top Line Tommy.

NORWIGI has dropped to a handy mark on the pick of her form and could be ready to strike after taking a step back in the right direction on her most recent start at Clonmel. Lake Chad and Freddie Robdal are a couple of potential threats in an open race.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Wincanton NH Flat Race (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow

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

MEATLOAF is the only previous winner in this field after making a successful debut over C&D in December and although beaten twice since, they have come in Listed company and he has acquitted himself well on both occasions. He is the clear form choice and with Olive Nicholls claiming 7lb from the saddle, he is hard to oppose. Newcomer Coastal Rock cost 85,000 euros and could be dangerous, while Classic King has the experience and is another to consider.

MEATLOAF was a bit underwhelming at Newbury last time but he's good enough to defy a penalty and now returns to the scene of his debut win, so he's preferred to newcomers Coastal Rock and The Two Harrys, who both make plenty of appeal on paper.

It could pay to take a chance on THE TWO HARRYS, with Meatloaf the second choice.

LTO Selection:

17:25 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A new headgear combination seemed to revitalise RUN FORREST RUN over C&D on his reappearance, when his late flourish went narrowly unrewarded. He's still well treated compared to his old form, despite a 4lb hike, and with testing conditions again in his favour, he may take some stopping. The unexposed Senado Square is an obvious danger, despite picking up a 9lb rise for a clear-cut win at Naas. Secret Road, Ecclesiastical and Let's Believe also have enough in their profile to warrant an interest.

SENADO SQUARE is a 3-y-o going the right way and can make light of a 9 lb rise for Naas. Billy Lee takes over in the saddle on Run Forrest Run who should go well on the back of a solid reappearance effort over C&D 3 weeks ago. Ecclesiastical responded well to the refitting of a visor last time and is also on the shortlist along with Johnny Murtagh handicap newcomer Starnight.

Dick Brabazon's runner LET'S BELIEVE was second in this event last year and gets the vote to build on her Navan return

LTO Selection:

17:35 Huntingdon NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TIGGER was far-from disgraced when finishing sixth on his debut at Ascot in October and a similar effort may be good enough to come out on top in this open-looking contest. Crystal Mer was runner-up in a similar event at Doncaster last month and looks capable of picking up a race at this level. The Kemble Brewery makes most appeal of the newcomers and any market support would increase interest in Kim Bailey's four-year-old.

TIGGER showed up quite well in a decent race on his Ascot debut in the autumn and is taken to strike at the second time of asking for a stable which is traditionally strong in these events. Doncaster runner-up Crystal Mer is the obvious danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Kim Bailey newcomer The Kemble Brewery.

Hey Brother and Mersey Street are likely improvers but TIGGER ran well at Ascot in the autumn and he gets the nod.

LTO Selection:

17:50 Wincanton NH Flat Race (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow

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

Kicks And Ale did win a three-mile point-to-point in Ireland by a couple of lengths in May 2021, but he hasn't been seen since and may not have the pace to cope with the reduced distance here. It should pay to concentrate on the unraced Kintail, who represents Nicky Henderson, and SOIR DE GALA. Paul Nicholls' son of Joshua Tree looks to have a bit more speed in his pedigree and is related to winners over two miles.

A small field but KINTAIL, Soir de Gala and Horaces Pearl are a trio of interesting newcomers representing top stables, preferred in that order without the benefit of market clues.

Nicky Henderson's KINTAIL is bred to win bumpers and gets the nod ahead of Soir De Gala and Horaces Pearl.
