13:40 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

It is hard to oppose NOT LONG LEFT, who finished a decent second over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow last month. He looks the type to go on progressing and can break his maiden here. That said, Spitalfield makes his debut over timber following some creditable performances in bumpers and should not be dismissed, while Glorious Mist needs to improve.

SPITALFIELD is bred to stay well so this step up in trip now hurdling promises to suit and, sure to be well prepared for this, he's marginally preferred to Not Long Left, who sets a fair standard.

The hurdling experience of NOT LONG LEFT could prove decisive.

13:45 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien has hit the ground running with his juveniles this season and though blinkered ahead of her debut, Matrika merits the utmost respect. Back Down Under finished a good third on her introduction at Naas and is likely to take a step forward with that experience under her belt, but preference is for GUNZBURG. The 160,000-pounds daughter of Sioux Nation represents an in-form yard and should have the speed to cope with this trip on her racecourse bow.

The majority of these are appealing on paper. MYSTERIES, who represents the Donnacha O'Brien yard, ticks plenty of the right boxes and the hint should be taken if she's strong in the betting. It could be a 1-2-3 for the O'Brien's, with father Aidan's representative Matrika second choice ahead of Grand Job, trained by brother Joseph. Gunzburg and September Leaves are other likely-looking types to consider, while Back Down Under, the only one of these with experience, also merits respect.

Though MATRIKA unusually has blinkers on for debut, she is a half-sister to a Prix Morny winner and is taken to score.

In a contest lacking depth, it could be worth siding with FANFARON DINO, who arrives here following a third over 2m4f at Ffos Las earlier this month. He retains the mark from that run and could benefit from a drop in trip. Tara Iti has gone up 2lb following a creditable run over 2m at Plumpton and is feared most, while Our Dylan completes the shortlist.

Having won over C&D last month, TARA ITI turned in another excellent effort at Plumpton a fortnight ago and he remains of plenty of interest in a race lacking depth. Fanfaron Dino's profile is a patchy one but he's dangerous at this level if giving his running, with Clearance another to consider.

There may be little between the Gary Moore-trained pair with TARA ITI preferred.

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

QUEEN'S PARDON was denied by under a length last time at Navan and she was a long way clear of the third. She has been put up 8lb for that effort, which may not be enough to prevent her from going one place better. The main threat might be Craft Irish, who showed improved form with the application of first-time blinkers on her latest outing. Others to consider are Marsa and Wave Machine.

MARSA's strike rate on the all-weather is more compelling compared to turf, but she is clearly effective on grass (successful at Gowran last summer) and this 4-y-o will have every chance if she's fully tuned-up following a break. Queen Maedbh ultimately proved disappointing on her handicap debut over 7f here at the beginning of the month but she is well worth another chance given her 2-y-o promise. Iva Batt and Little Queenie are others to consider.

Edward Lynam's MARSA(nap) can exploit an anomaly as she runs off a mark 11lb lower than her AW rating and will be suited by good ground

With only two runners going to post, this is a match between Martello Sky and UNIVERSAL FOLLY, and the latter just preferred. The selection has chase experience under his belt and should appreciate this longer distance. The aforementioned Martello Sky makes her stable debut for Dr Richard Newland and could be sparked to life by a change of scenery/obstacles, but the mare may find this 3m trip stretches her stamina.

A match but it's not short on intrigue. The return to 3m will suit UNIVERSAL FOLLY and his experience over fences tilts the scales his way, though Martello Sky would be a formidable opponent if matching her hurdles form sent chasing by her new stable.

With chasing experience in the bag, UNIVERSAL FOLLY is marginally preferred to Martello Sky.

CLODY FLYER made all to justify favouritism at Uttoxeter and the third has come out and won well since, so the form is solid. In addition, this looks like an easier contest and the Donald McCain-trained six-year-old is fancied to make light work of his penalty. Melvich Bay ran with credit in a Kelso handicap and could get involved, along with Butterfly Island, who makes her first start over hurdles.

CLODY FLYER had plenty up his sleeve when scoring at Uttoxeter just over 3 weeks ago and this looks a gilt-edged chance for Donald McCain's charge to make it 2-3 under Rules. Melvich Bay is preferred over Butterfly Island for the forecast spot.

The only remotely promising runner in the field is CLODY FLYER, who should win again. Melvich Bay looks the one for the forecast.

JIGGINSTOWN KING won well over 2m5f at Fakenham last month and a step up in class looks unlikely to stop him following up based on that. The gelded son of Lucky Speed was only narrowly denied at this track on his penultimate run and appears to be an improving type, although Koi Dodville can give him plenty to think about following a facile success at Leicester in February. Not Another Muddle looks best of the remainder.

JIGGINSTOWN KING scored with something to spare at Fakenham last time and is going the right way over fences, so he's preferred to fellow last-time-out winner Koi Dodville. Veteran Not Another Muddle is also considered.

The progressive JIGGINSTOWN KING looks the most obvious option.

BAY BRIDGE was very impressive when seeing off 2021 Epsom Derby and King George hero Adayar in the Champion Stakes at Ascot, with the previously-unbeaten Baaeed only fourth. Sir Michael Stoute's five-year-old made a perfectly satisfactory reappearance when third in the Prix Ganay and looks the one to beat. Vadeni was a place behind him at Longchamp, but has been supplemented for this and took the Prix du Jockey Club and Eclipse last season before a cracking second in the Arc. Luxembourg had the French raider back in third when triumphant in the Irish Champion Stakes and will step forward from his comeback fifth in the Mooresbridge.

A fascinating clash between classy trio VADENI, Bay Bridge and Luxembourg, and there's very little to choose between them. The vote goes to Vadeni, who landed the Eclipse over this trip last summer and brought the curtain down on a fine 2022 campaign by finishing second in the Arc. The French raider was a place adrift of the re-opposing Bay Bridge on return at Longchamp, but he looked rusty that day and is taken to reverse those placings here. Bay Bridge is second choice ahead of Luxembourg.

Last season's Prix du Jockey Club and Eclipse winner VADENI gets the vote to reverse Irish Champion Stakes form with Luxembourg

Ooh Betty had reopposing Manimole (second) behind her when shedding her maiden tag at Ludlow last time and another bold bid is expected, despite shouldering a 6lb penalty here. However, a chance is taken on BLUE CLOVER, who finished runner-up on her hurdling debut over an extended 2m at Stratford in April and Fergal O'Brien's mare may find the necessary improvement now up in trip. The lightly-raced Our Friend Mo also enters calculations.

OOH BETTY had a bit up her sleeve when seeing off Manimole at Ludlow earlier this month and, with further improvement a distinct possibility for Ben Clarke's mare, she's fancied to confirm those placings once again. Blue Clover is sure to have derived plenty from her runner-up effort on hurdling debut so she can fight out third spot with Our Friend Mo.

Ben Clarke's OOH BETTY pulled readily clear of Manimole at Ludlow and confirming those places might be enough here.

EXIT TO WHERE struck by half a length over the extended 2m7f here, for which he has been put up 5lb. Iain Jardine's representative is still 3lb below his mark when landing this prize last year and he could prove very tough to beat again. A threat could come in the shape of Dolly Dancer, who takes a step back up in distance, while Hidden Commander and The Ferry Master are expected to finish behind the selection once more.

EXIT TO WHERE had something to spare when scoring here last time and the drop back in trip shouldn't pose much of a problem, so he's preferred to Hidden Commander, who is expected to be back on his game.

Last year's winner EXIT TO WHERE gets the verdict. The Ferry Master is the suggested second choice.

HUNTERS CALL returned to form when adopting more positive tactics on his second-placed finish at Ayr last month and a similar approach may prove the tonic on this drop in class. Estacas was a ready winner on his handicap debut at Huntingdon recently and he's feared most off 7lb higher, while 2019 National Spirit victor Vision Des Flos also warrants consideration now tackling the C&D of his last success over hurdles.

CASA LOUPI looked promising over hurdles earlier in his career and, having returned from an absence with a likeable performance on the Flat, he's worth chancing. Hunters Call is a big danger following a return to form and Estacas should play a part.

Back from an absence with a good Flat run this month, CASA LOUPI (nap) can make the most of a decent handicap mark.

Joseph O'Brien launches a three-pronged assault but even though Jumbly is the mount of Ryan Moore, she has a 309-day layoff to overcome and the pick of the trio may be Honey Girl, who stepped up markedly on her maiden success when bounding clear for an impressive Group 3 victory here. However, Willie McCreery has a good record in this contest and narrow preference is for his INSINUENDO. Too keen over 1m2f in the Mooresbridge Stakes, she is better judged on her C&D defeat of Redressed in the Park Express over track and trip in March and her good third in a Group 1 on Champions Day at Ascot last October.

Joseph O'Brien holds a very strong hand here and JUMBLY, who is making her debut for the yard, could be the way to go. The Gleneagles filly has been absent since landing a Group 3 at Ascot last July, but she went close on her reappearance last season and, with just eight runs under her belt, there is probably better to come. Stablemate Honey Girl looked good in the Athasi and is feared most ahead of Insinuendo and Goldana, who is also a stablemate of Jumbly.

Slight preference is for JUMBLY who may be better suited by the ground than stablemates Honey Girl and Goldana

This is now a match after Ballaquane was declared a non-runner. JUDGE EARLE lost his form towards the end of his last campaign in October, but he boasts a fine record at this course and, with his stable among the winners of late, he is fancied to regain the winning thread on his return. Brianna Rose was in good heart over hurdles in March and is an obvious threat if taking to fences for the first time.

BRIANNA ROSE is a reliable hurdler who has been found a weak race to begin her chasing career, so a chance is taken on her to beat Judge Earle, who returns at a time when his stable is in good order.

Likely front-runner JUDGE EARLE enjoyed a very productive spell in good-ground chases last year and resumes on a good mark.

Matchless is also respected as he returns to this sphere after scoring on the Flat at Doncaster.

ASTROMAN landed a maiden success over hurdles at Stratford last week and it's possible that he's improved enough to shrug off a 7lb penalty now turned out quickly in a handicap. Jony Max has yet to win over the smaller obstacles in five appearances, nevertheless, Christian Williams' gelding finished a good second over fences on his return at Fakenham earlier in the month. Barrowmount makes most appeal of the remainder.

JONY MAX matched his best form, on first outing since November, when runner-up at Fakenham earlier this month and can take advantage of his lower hurdles mark here. Astroman and Barrowmount rate the principal dangers.

The recent efforts of BARROWMOUNT suggest he could take this moderate handicap.

Last season's champion two-year-old filly thanks largely to her impressive Moyglare success, TAHIYRA was a warm order for the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket. She looked the likely winner coming into the Dip, but a big mid-race move and possibly the lack of a prep run told and she was fought off by Mawj. She was still a long way clear of the third, though, and can taste Classic glory today. Meditate was runner-up in the Moyglare and only sixth at Newmarket, but she showed her brilliance at the Breeders' Cup and better is expected. It is interesting that her trainer Aidan O'Brien has opted to drop Jackie Oh back down to a mile, while Moyglare third Eternal Silence is another who could get involved at a bigger price.

It's hard to look beyond TAHIYRA, who was so impressive when brushing Meditate aside in the Moyglare here last term and she was well clear of the rest when touched off by Mawj in the English 1000 Guineas on return at Newmarket. This will be just her fourth career start, so it's reasonable to anticipate improvement. Stablemate Tarawa looks promising and she is preferred to the Aidan O'Brien-trained duo Meditate and Jackie Oh.

Providing that TAHIYRA has made the anticipated improvement from her 1,000 Guineas second this should be relatively straightforward

The main danger might be Raffle Ticket, who struck by just over a length at Worcester last time and could get involved off a 5lb higher rating. Walk In Clover is in fine fettle and has to be considered.

RAFFLE TICKET arrives on a hat-trick and had something to spare at Worcester last time, so he's preferred to Gloire d'Athon, who is also progressing well at the moment. Walk In Clover is another big player.

Rae Des Champs arrives following a fair fourth over an extended 2m7f at Newcastle and the fact that Dylan Johnston knocks 7lb off the mare's back with his claim makes her of interest. However, THE BLAME GAME took a big step forward when scoring over 3m3f at Sedgefield in February and looks the one to side, despite a 5lb raised mark. Sputnik is another to bear in mind following a creditable second over fences at Perth.

Having a first try at around 3m, RAE DES CHAMPS wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at Newcastle last time, closing all the way to the line having been unsuited by the way the race developed. She's well worth another chance at this sort of trip, so is taken to get the better of The Blame Game who remains well-treated on old form. Sputnik can also go well back over hurdles.

Lightly raced mare RAE DES CHAMPS (nap) has shaped as though she will be suited by this step up in trip. Sputnik is second choice.

This step up in trip should spark improvement in DRUMROLL, who kept on well when chasing home potentially smart stablemate Paddington over a mile here at the beginning of the month. He is taken to enhance Aidan O'Brien's teriffic record in this race. Pivotal Trigger found Group 1 company too much on his final 2-y-o start and is strongly respected back at this level, while Mister Mister, who was a place adrift of Drumroll in the Tetrarch, should also make his presence felt.

Though MISTER MISTER was just behind Drumroll in the Tetrarch Stakes here last time, he can reverse the form today.

Fat Sam makes the most appeal of the remainder.

Cases can be made for most, but a chance is taken on MIDNIGHT GINGER, who hasn't been at her best since scoring at Newbury on New Year's Eve but the handicapper has reacted accordingly. Kerosine Light was prolific last year and Donald McCain's charge rates as a serious player provided he's fully tuned up, while Caldwell and Park Hill Dancer can fight out third spot.

Most of these have potential to improve now they are faced with a sterner test of stamina and the likes of Star Galaxy, Esquiline and High Chieftess are all in capable hands as they set out on the next phase of their development. However, the one that appeals most on pedigree is EZIVA, whose dam won the Group 2 Blandford Stakes for this yard here in 2018. It's noteworthy that the daughter of Medaglia d'Oro is pitched straight in at this sort of trip and a big run is expected from the Aga Khan-owned filly on debut.

It will look significant if the market speaks in favour of newcomer EZIVA, who looks the part on paper and an entry in the Irish Oaks suggests that she is held in high regard. Star Galaxy shaped with promise on her sole 2-y-o start and again when fourth of 10 in the Leopardstown maiden won by the potentially high-class Savethelastdance last month. She is the clear main danger ahead of Ballydoyle duo All Time Great and High Chieftess.

Her run last time when fourth to Savethelastdance at Leopardstown makes STAR GALAXY the standout on form.

A typically wide-open handicap to round out proceedings on a fantastic weekend of action, and marginal preference is for STAR KISSED. The Sea The Stars filly struck in a maiden at Bellewstown last month and has been allocated an opening mark of 79 which, judged on her pedigree alone, could prove extremely lenient. The Very Man looks well treated based on his NH form and must be seriously considered, along with Newfoundland, for all that he needs to bounce back from a disappointing run at Tipperary. Others to note include Mellow Magic, Black Hawk Eagle and Mr Rango.

STAR KISSED appears to have been handed a fair mark for this handicap bow and she gets the nod. Conditions were testing when she opened her account in a Bellewstown maiden on return last month but it was on good ground that this Sea The Stars filly went close on debut at Cork last summer, so the surface here shouldn't be an issue. Newfoundland is entitled to come on for his Tipperary reappearance spin and is feared most. The Very Man, a good second over hurdles last time, also has claims.

With further improvement likely after just three starts, STAR KISSED is taken to win on handicap debut despite a wider than ideal draw

Unless the Flat-bred Snow Shepherdess is well above average, this ought to be pretty straightforward for HARD AS NAILS, who reaped the benefit of two starts last year when she comfortably accounted for her rivals in a conditionals' race at Ludlow. Unsurprisingly, Jack Hogan keeps the ride and she should be able to dictate terms to suit herself. Only a huge improvement from Mrs Fox would suffice for her to get serious at the business end.

HARD AS NAILS found improvement when scoring at Ludlow earlier this month and this looks a good opportunity for her to follow up. Bumper-debutant Snow Shepherdess gets the nod for the forecast.

The Fergal O'Brien-trained HARD AS NAILS won at Ludlow three weeks ago and is taken to defy a penalty and follow up.

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.
