Point' form not up to scratch, albeit limited exposure, facing an uphill battle.

(3) Return To Base 4.5/1, Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Downpatrick in May. Third of 5 in novice chase at Tramore (15.4f, good, 9/2) 31 days ago. Minor place money is probably the most likely outcome.
Latest third an improvement on previous efforts over fences but this will take a bit more.
LTO Selection:

13:35 Tipperary Maiden Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ROSEY'S HOLLOW's last win was in a Grade 3 novice hurdle in February 2021 but can put her chase experience to good use. She failed to build on early promise but comes here fit and well and can be counted upon to run a solid race, again ridden by her 7lb claimer. Chase debutante Finest Evermore won from a rating of 137 over hurdles when last seen in August and will be ready and well schooled for her reappearance. However, aside from an ordinary 2020 bumper win, her form is over longer distances. Return To Base is fit and well but faces a tough task while Thecornerhouse is a useful handicap hurdler but debuts over fences in a smart maiden.

FINEST EVERMORE produced a fine weight-carrying performance when landing a Killarney handicap hurdle on her latest start last August and, provided her jumping passes the test on this chase debut, she will take plenty of stopping. Roseys Hollow is the clear pick for forecast purposes, while Return To Base could be in line for third-place prizemoney.

Finest Evermore knows how to get the job done and will be hard to deny but the experience of ROSEYS HOLLOW will count for plenty

LTO Selection:

14:05 Tipperary Maiden Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CAYD BOY has been beaten in six chases and was pulled up in March but drops in grade. Rated 139 at his peak over hurdles and beaten by Impervious on chase debut, most of his form is on testing ground but has run well on a sound surface, and is suited by this distance. I A Connect was well beaten on Kilbeggan chase debut but has a race-fitness edge and ran well over hurdles at Wexford. However he might struggle to beat an on-song selection. Walnut Beach was rated in the 120s over hurdles but ran well on Wexford chase debut last month and is well suited by this trip and is ground-versatile. Ex-UK Galore Dessences ran well rated 138 over hurdles on Irish debut in April but his form has been hit-and-miss in recent years. He was pulled up and well beaten (at Wexford in May) on his two chase runs to date.

I AM CONNECT made a low-key chase debut at Kilbeggan a fortnight ago but he's surely capable of much better given his hurdles ability and with cheekpieces likely to sharpen him up, he could be worth chancing. Cayd Boy is a massive threat if over whatever ailed him when last seen, with Walnut Beach likely to be on the premises, too.

With the form of his Wexford 3rd working out well, GALORE DESASSENCES(nap) should be a tough nut to crack if he jumps little better

Not in anything like the same form when well held last of 5 at Brighton (6f) 2 weeks ago but no surprise to see a better showing here.

Stable going well; some ability over 5f on debut and improvement likely now up in trip.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Hamilton Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MIDNIGHT LIR has shown marked improvement with each start and he must hold every chance if building on a career best when second at Thirsk last month. Michael Dods' charge may have too much for the likes of Soveraine, and Unowho, who has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his debut effort. Imperiality is another with the potential to improve for the step up in trip.

MIDNIGHT LIR ran his best race to date when runner-up in a Thirsk maiden 4 weeks ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix again. Unowho and Soveraine may well emerge as the pair to give him most to think about.

Having shaped well on all three starts, MIDNIGHT LIR can get off the mark this time with Soveraine his main danger.

The fitting of a tongue-tie back from a short break will need to help off his current mark.

Being given every chance by the handicapper and is adaptable regarding ground and tactics.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Roscioli is off the same mark as when winning a match over C&D last month and must be of significant interest, but course specialist CONFILS can get the better of him on this occasion. George Baker's seven-year-old landed a double over C&D on her penultimate run and, despite failing to secure a treble off this mark at Salisbury latest, she rates the one to beat on her return to Brighton. Vitesse Du Son is another to consider.

This is a drop in class for DARVEL who can add to last October's C&D win with Billy Loughnane taking a handy 3 lb off. Confils is an obvious danger back at the scene of her 2 victories in May. Vitesse du Son is another who knows where the winning post is over this C&D.

A chance is taken on ROUNDABOUT SILVER, who's just below the mark off which he won over C&D last backend. Darvel is next best.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Tipperary Handicap Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BUTTERFLYVESPIERE could be well handicapped. Placed over hurdles at the 2021 Galway festival before winning at Listowel, she returned from 529 days off this year and while initially well beaten on soft ground, ran well recently at Tramore. That winner was a 134-rated hurdler and the selection has a favourable chase rating, which is 3lb lower than her hurdles' mark. Course winner Good As Hell was most unfortunate at Wexford but is 4lb higher today, without her then rider's 4lb claim and notably steps up in grade. The Dara Man is fit and well but is himself 2lb higher than when finishing second at Kilbeggan, when his rider claimed 5lb. Kildorrery isn't ahead of the handicapper while course winner The Banger Doyle was well held at Wexford and concedes plenty weight. Jack Holiday is a dual course winner while Mica Malpic would prefer further.

BUTTERFLYVESPIERE matched the pick of her hurdles form when second at Tramore a month ago and the assessor has taken a big chance with her mark. Good A Hell would have won had she negotiated the last fence at Wexford and is feared most, ahead of The Dara Man.

Dual course winner GOOD AS HELL was set to win well at Wexford last time when coming down at the last. She can make amends today.

Third back at 7f last time but pulled hard, so will need to settle better now up to 1m.
LTO Selection:

14:47 Hamilton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

An easy winner over C&D last time out, HALE END looks the one to beat based on that effort and a 10lb rise, although steep, looks manageable for the son of Mehmas. A convincing winner at Ripon on his penultimate start, Indiana Be looks to be the main danger, along with Calypso, who has been knocking on the door of late.

CALYPSO seemed unsuited by the emphasis on speed but ultimately shaped well when running on for third at Haydock (7f) 3 weeks ago and, remaining with potential, not least back at 1m, he could be the answer. Hale End impressed when running out a ready winner of a C&D handicap 13 days ago and a 10 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well again. Indiana Be completes the shortlist.

In a tricky race which could be tactical, the choice is INDIANA BE in the hope that more use is made of him than when fifth last time.

LTO Selection:

14:57 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

LUCIDITY made a promising handicap debut when running on for third over an extended mile at Nottingham last month, and a stiffer stamina test can see her improve off a 1lb lower mark. A full-sister to Group 2 winner Foundation, there could be more to come and she gets the vote ahead of Gallimimus in first-time cheekpieces. Fullforward completes the shortlist.

LUCIDITY stepped up on her exploits in novice/maiden company when third on handicap debut at Nottingham (8.3f) 30 days ago and, less exposed than most, she could be the answer now stepping up in trip. Gallimimus for George Boughey can emerge as the chief threat.

Fullforward is feared in a first-time visor but LUCIDITY has untapped potential over this longer trip.

LTO Selection:

15:05 Tipperary Handicap Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MIDNIGHT IT IS is interesting on handicap chase debut rated 104, and was rated 121 over hurdles last year. He returned from a 369-days layoff when beaten 76 lengths in May but is sure to improve from that run and drops to a low enough level on handicap chase debut, with good ground and a staying distance in his favour. King Ferdinand won a course May hurdle on his most recent start and is also ideally suited by staying distances and good ground. He has won and finished second from just five runs over fences and is rated 3lb lower in this sphere than over hurdles, but nonetheless meets a lesser-exposed selection. Lake Chad has been running well but isn't ahead of the handicapper while Sean Says, Room To Roam, Rebel Waltz, Where's Bunny and Meehall (running in a first-time tongue-tie) are able types at this level.

A chance is taken on MIDNIGHT IT IS who looks to have been campaigned over fences with handicaps in mind and has a lenient mark judged on his hurdle ability. Rebel Waltz, King Ferdinand and Meehall head the many possible dangers.

Ultra tricky stuff to solve and it could be worth an each-way play, with ESTHERS MARVEL on the back of a nice sharperner over hurdles

LTO Selection:

15:17 Hamilton Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of EILEAN DUBH, who may have just under a length to find with Maysong from their most recent meeting at Sandown, but he is now 9lb better off. The five-year-old won on his only start over C&D last May and he is preferred to Fantastic Fox, who is on a winless streak dating back to August 2021. Last year's winner Austrian Theory may be inconsistent but is very capable on his day.

Interesting fare despite the small field with the narrow vote in favour of EILEAN DUBH. He produced easily his most encouraging run of the campaign when third behind re-opposing Maysong at Sandown 17 days ago and meeting that rival on these more favourable terms, he looks to hold sound claims. Fantastic Fox and Austrian Theory, fellow course winners, can also feature.

If AUSTRIAN THEORY is allowed his own way in front as he was at Epsom last month, he should take all the beating.

LTO Selection:

15:27 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

LETTER OF THE LAW finished a fair second over a mile at this track last month and the gelded son of Lawman can benefit from a stiffer stamina test here. He retains the mark from that outing and it seems as though further progression is on the horizon. Sun Festival rates his biggest threat on his return to turf, while last-time-out winner Long Call is another to consider under a 4lb penalty.

Preference is for SUN FESTIVAL, who was rewarded for his consistency when scoring here last month and arrives on the back of a solid third at Newcastle. Long Call and Letter of The Law rate the principal dangers.

This trip stretches Letter Of The Law's stamina, which leaves the reliable SUN FESTIVAL looking the safest option.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Tipperary Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LOOK DONT TOUCH seems much better than his current 19-race-maiden status and beat today's contenders Gali Flight and Some Dove in a similar race in May. The selection ran well but unsuccessfully in nine handicap hurdles (competing near today's ceiling 109 hurdle-rating) and a reproduction of his Limerick run would give him every chance, with Gali Flight having seven lengths to find. Some Dove disappointed in that race and while she improved at Downpatrick, needs to maintain progression to win. Inclusion is suited by this distance and good ground and while she might improve from her recent Wexford reappearance, nonetheless carried a light weight then, raced too keenly and was well held. Cheekpieces are applied to Cregane Ned whose best form is on testing ground.

INCLUSION pulled too hard on her recent return to action at Wexford but hopefully that will have knocked some of the freshness out of her and she should have more to offer for her top stable if settling better. Some Dove, another from a leading yard, wasn't far off the pick of her hurdle form when second at Downpatrick last month and looks the chief threat ahead of Look Dont Touch.

Likely to improve from her recent seasonal debut at Wexford, INCLUSION can get off the mark over fences on her third start.

LTO Selection:

15:47 Hamilton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ROARING LEGEND had plenty in hand when justifying strong support in the betting with a comfortable victory at Salisbury three weeks ago and can follow up that success. It's possible the cheekpieces kept him focused that day and more of the same is expected with the headgear retained. Beraz has more to offer on just his second start back after a wind operation, while Hope You Can Run also appeals strongly.

This can go to BERAZ, who left the impression there may be more to come when runner-up here on debut for Julie Camacho in May. Salisbury winner Roaring Legend is feared most.

Following his good second here on his first run for Julie Camacho, BERAZ can go one better by beating Roaring Legend.

LTO Selection:

15:57 Brighton Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Dropping RECKON I'M HOT back into a classified stakes could be a good move, as the Gary Moore-trained four-year-old has shown glimpses of promise since he returned after a wind operation earlier in the year. With trip and ground to suit, he looks worth chancing in a race lacking strength in depth. Perfect Symphony is feared most given he is closely matched with the selection based on a recent encounter at Lingfield, while Gatwick Kitten is also considered.

MINHAAJ hasn't won for some time but she was back to form when a clear second over C&D last time, so she gets the nod ahead of Reckon I'm Hot, with Gatwick Kitten also considered on the back of success at Yarmouth.

Having returned to form with a win at Yarmouth on Friday, dual course winner GATWICK KITTEN (nap) has a good opportunity to go in again.

Travelled like the best horse for much of the way at Clonmel and won in similar fashion.
LTO Selection:

16:05 Tipperary Novices Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TOO BRIGHT has done alright over fences and is suited by this distance and good ground. Flat-bred, he was no star in that code or over hurdles but has shown more over fences, beating a subsequent winner at Kilbeggan on June 4 and ran well in a useful handicap at that venue recently. Desert Friend won on his second chase run at Clonmel but this is tougher. Another recent Clonmel winner Mr Saxobeat steps up in grade but is suited by conditions while Railway Hurricane was rated 131 over hurdles last year and while receiving 4lb, is a thoroughly frustrating 20-race chase maiden. Sphagnum showed progression when winning at Downpatrick but steps up in grade. Hamundarson returned this year but needs to show more in first time cheekpieces. Chase debutante Dovlator has point-to-pointing experience but was well held at Wexford.

There should be more to come from DESERT FRIEND on the back of his smooth Clonmel maiden success and he could prove the answer to this rated novice. Mr Saxobeat and Sphagnum also arrive on the back of maiden chase wins last month and might give Denis Hogan's charge most to do.

The former Galway festival bumper winner MR SAXOBEAT was no great shakes over h'dls but he looks a much better chaser and is preferred

Low-key stable debut here in May; unexposed but something to prove for now.
LTO Selection:

16:17 Hamilton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Westmorian is likely to launch a bold bid off just 1lb higher than his last winning mark. However, he also likely to pull the best from PROSPECT, who could be ideally drawn. The selection has held his form lately and has little to fear from the stiff nature of this course, while Iris Dancer and Slainte Mhath also command respect in this company.

PARISIAC got back on the scoreboard at Lingfield last month and remains feasibly treated on old form. He can follow up. Ramon Di Loria and Slainte Mhath can also make their presence felt.

Iris Dancer is respected back at this track but RAMON DI LORIA should get a good pace to aim at and still looks feasibly weighted.

LTO Selection:

16:27 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This looks a decent opportunity for H KEY LAILS to gain a third career success and, perhaps more importantly, a breakthrough success on turf. The gelding rounded off his time with Craig Lister by winning at this level at Wolverhampton in May and his new connections appear to have found a suitable opening for him. Recent Bath winner Gustav Ucicky is feared most, with Tobetso respected now he tries cheekpieces.

HOWYOULIKEMENOW has slipped to a good mark and should prove suited by this return to 7f so she gets the vote ahead of Gustav Ucicky, who scored on just his second outing for Mick Appleby at Bath and is greatly feared under a 6 lb penalty. H Key Lails is also in the mix on the back of his Wolverhampton victory now starting out for Michael Attwater.

Tobetso should have more to come in handicaps but so may HOWYOULIKEMENOW and she is marginally preferred.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Tipperary Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SEARCH FOR A MYTH won over hurdles in May and reverts, on her second attempt, to fences rated 7lb lower. She finished 17 lengths behind the winner when ridden from off the pace on Killarney chase debut last October and having shown good form at Wexford recently, has obvious claims on suitable good ground. Ask The Leader ran well on chase debut at Downpatrick in May and having since run well over hurdles, should get involved. Good World is an able three-time winning hurdler who should compete on handicap chase debut. Clever Currency was left in second when well held at Wexford recently.

It could just be worth siding with SEARCH FOR A MYTH. She showed improved form to ultimately win with a bit to spare on return over hurdles 5 weeks ago and a 3 lb higher mark back over larger obstacles shouldn't prevent a bold bid with further progress in the offing. Ask The Leader rates a chief threat for David Christie now handicapping in this sphere. Clever Currency may do best of the remainder.

Having got off the mark over hurdles at Wexford on return, SEARCH FOR A MYTH can score off a 7lb lower mark in this sphere.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Roscommon Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PROFIT REFUSED ran a big race on her debut at Limerick last month and looks the one to beat here now with normal improvement. The Profitable filly looked a touch unlucky that day having been carried left a couple of times in the closing stages. She was less than a length off Snellen at the line that day and obviously the form received a significant boost with the winner scoring at Royal Ascot. Absolute Advantage shaped with promise when a staying on sixth on his debut at the Curragh and could be a potential improver in the field. Zona Verde has been placed twice from three runs and is another for the shortlist.

PROFIT REFUSED sets the standard and is open to improvement, so she's preferred to Absolute Advantage, who also arrives on the back of an encouraging debut. Naisun is a notable newcomer.

On the back of a very promising debut run at Limerick, PROFIT REFUSED gets a confident vote

LTO Selection:

16:52 Hamilton Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This could be a good time to side with the well-handicapped JAMES WATT, who is 19lb below his last winning mark. Admittedly, recent performances need to be improved on, but this race should not take much winning. Hard Solution is respected under a penalty for his C&D win last week, despite consistency being a concern. Stormy Pearl and Impressor complete the shortlist.

Preference is for STORMY PEARL, who ran really well at Carlisle last month and is back on her last winning mark. Hard Solution and Aconcagua Mountain rate the principal dangers.

The well-treated RED ALLURE (nap) is an interesting candidate starting out for another new yard. Hard Solution is feared most.

LTO Selection:

17:02 Brighton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Given his last win was off a mark of 80, carrying top-weight might not hinder KONDRATIEV WAVE in this company. While that success was over two years ago, the gelding has run with credit on numerous occasions in the intervening period and a big run can be expected. Voodoo Ray has a 5lb penalty for last week's C&D success but enters calculations, while Bold And Loyal is also respected.

Just as they did over C&D last week, RAVI ROAD and Voodoo Ray are taken to fight out the finish. The latter emerged on top that day but it could be a different outcome this time given that Ravi Road is 5 lb better off having been beaten less than a length by Gary Moore's charge. The booking of Tom Marquand adds to the selection's appeal. No Turning Back is unexposed on turf and is third choice, while several of others would be dangerous off their present marks if able to scale a revival.

Preference is for NO TURNING BACK, whose yard could hardly be in better form. Hector Loza is worth a look too.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Tipperary Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE EYE OF TULLA has won just once from 17 attempts but has been running consistently well recently. Ground-versatile but with a probable preference for good ground, a reproduction of either of his last two runs, over varying distances, would see him involved at the business end. Movie King parachuted in to win a recent hurdle over today's distance at Down Royal under today's 7lb claiming amateur. He competes from a rating of just 89 today but was well beaten on his sole previous chase run and lacks experience. Dreamsrmadeofthis was well held at Clonmel last month but had previously run well behind the selection at Limerick. Crowsatedappletart might not have been himself behind the selection in that Limerick race but is rated 10lb lower in this sphere than over hurdles and runs in first-time cheekpieces. Point-to-point winner Lesssaidthebetter is a 30-race maiden.

TULLYHOGUE FORT needs to shrug off a lesser effort over hurdles, yet he'd previously gone well from his lower chase mark when runner-up at Limerick in May and he could just be worth chancing to get back on track. Recent hurdles winner Movie King, in-form The Eye of Tulla and Don't Talk head up the dangers.

A model of consistency lately, THE EYE OF TULLA could notch another win down in trip after being outstayed over 3m last time.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Roscommon Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The 84-rated GYPSY WOMAN sets a decent standard here and can get off the mark. The Cotai Glory filly has been placed in two starts this season, most recently when a close third to Bella Blue Eyes in a strong contest at Leopardstown. A repeat should be enough to get her head in front now. Alessia Fernanda improved on her second run when third to Satin in Listowel a month ago and she looks the danger. Danvers Gold shaped with plenty of promise when third on her debut last year but needs to step up on her comeback effort at the Curragh. She could be place material.

GYPSY WOMAN holds the edge on the form of her very good Leopardstown third so is fancied to get off the mark for her in-form handler. Danvers Gold rates a big threat if building on her Curragh seventh after an absence. Alessia Fernanda and Roman Moon appeal as the pick of the remainder and can fight it out for minor honours.

This is about as far as she probably wants but her recent Leopardstown third makes GYPSY WOMAN (nap) a strong favourite here

1st (1) Call Me Rocky (2.25/1 +44%)
Call Me Rocky

2.25/1(+44%)
(1) Call Me Rocky 2.25/1, Fair maiden hurdler in Ireland for Denis Hogan. Well below his best when a well-held third in C&D novice seller in May (only outing for Cian Michael Williams). Best form gives him a shout having joined the successful Milton Harris stable.
Disappointing favourite in a seller here last time and doesn't look straightforward.

The Geordie Ginge

6/1(+57%)
(4) The Geordie Ginge 6/1, Seemed to show fair form when a close second in a small-field Leicester maiden hurdle in December but well below that level in his 2 other hurdle starts. First outing for 6 months.
Near miss at Leicester before getting stuck in the mud back there over Christmas.

Trick Of The Tail

3.2/1(-28%)
(6) Trick Of The Tail 3.2/1, Fair form when in the frame both starts in bumpers. Translated that ability to hurdles at the third time of asking when 2 lengths second of 12 in 2m Bangor maiden last time. Thereabouts with a repeat.
Best run was his latest when chasing home an Irish challenger at Bangor.
5th
5th (5) Thorpeness (7.5/1 -36%)
Thorpeness

7.5/1(-36%)
(5) Thorpeness 7.5/1, Well beaten in 2 bumpers but has shown a good deal more over hurdles with a tongue strap added, third at Huntingdon then second at Fakenham. A bit more will be needed to take this, though.
Tongue-tie fitted for his thirds over hurdles, beaten just over 3l on both occasions.
6th
6th (8) Outsmart (2.75/1 -22%)
Outsmart

2.75/1(-22%)
(8) Outsmart 2.75/1, Fairly useful handicapper at up to 1¼m on the Flat. Made a promising start to his hurdle career when 5 lengths second at Market Rasen (2m) in June. Had excuses for his heavy defeat on the Flat at York since and big player back hurdling.
Dual Flat winner; second on hurdling debut before struggling in a York handicap.
7th
7th (2) Carapaz (150/1 -127%)
Carapaz

150/1(-127%)

Looks moderate and was well behind Trick Of The Tail at Bangor 24 days ago.
8th
8th (3) It's A Love Thing (25/1 -108%)
It's A Love Thing

25/1(-108%)
(3) It's A Love Thing 25/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m), ending his time with John Butler with a Wolverhampton win in May. Joined another shrewd outfit ahead of this switch to hurdles. Betting should help guide to expectations.
Four AW wins, the latest last time out in May; probably up against it on jumps debut.
LTO Selection:

17:40 Stratford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of TRICK OF THE TAIL, who has improved with each start in this sphere and must hold strong claims if building on a career-best effort when second at Bangor-on-Dee last month. Outsmart shaped well at Market Rasen when second on his hurdling debut and a subsequent spin on the level at York will have kept him ticking over nicely, while Thorpeness is another to take seriously.

OUTSMART was too free back on the Flat at York recently but shaped well on his Market Rasen hurdle debut prior to that and can make it second time lucky over hurdles. Bangor runner-up Trick of The Tail looks the chief threat for the Donald McCain/Brian Hughes combination.

Donald McCain's TRICK OF THE TAIL might have made a race of it with the strong favourite at Bangor had he jumped the last two better.

All her wins have come over sprint trips and she's worth taking on over this far.
LTO Selection:

17:50 Roscommon Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An open looking contest and course and distance winner SWISS ARMY OFFICER may be able to strike again at the track. Kevin Coleman's charge won here in May and has run well off higher marks on his last couple of outings. He remains on 54 having been a solid enough fifth at Down Royal last time. Designer Cailin has been knocking on the door and was fourth on her last visit here. She looks another leading contender. Emorcee is on the same mark as when a close fourth at Limerick last time and the three-year-old is one of the lesser exposed runners. He has to be respected.

The one who appeals most is EMORCEE, who shaped well in the first-time blinkers when fourth at Limerick last month and, with just five runs under his belt, he may well have more to offer. I Know I Can is still winless following 24 attempts but his recent Down Royal effort was pretty solid and he will be in the mix if the addition of cheekpieces help eke out a little more. Designer Cailin is also shortlisted and Asisaid would be in with a shout if able to bounce back.

A few have chances on flashes of form this season but SWISS ARMY OFFICER earns plenty of brownie points for his consistency.

LTO Selection:

18:10 Stratford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ROCK ON HARRY may be beginning to get the hang of things over hurdles and he shaped well for a long way at Uttoxeter last month. He can regain the winning thread, with Fandabidozi and Callin Baton Rouge, who ran a highly encouraging race at Cartmel, looking best placed to chase him home. Sobegrand could be interesting on his debut in this sphere.

A few with chances but ROCK ON HARRY was a fairly useful bumper winner and is fancied to build on his promising Uttoxeter fourth and open his account in this sphere. Sobegrand also looks to have more to offer on the back of his recent Worcester third and is feared most. Hurdling debutants Borderline and Luckie Money have the potential to have a say too in a competitive maiden.

0-10; tailed off on debut for this yard at Gowran; risky proposition in new headgear.
LTO Selection:

18:20 Roscommon Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KRATOS ran well for a long way at Down Royal last time and there looks to be a race in him off this kind of mark. The Equiano gelding stuck on well enough having been headed a furlong out last time and wasn't beaten far in fourth. He has slipped a nice bit from a career high mark of 79 and was eased another pound after that run. Blue Peak won over course and distance here in May and but didn't appear to get home over further at Leopardstown last time. She commands respect. Snowdonia Song has been knocking on the door and could pick up prize-money again.

The vote goes to HELL LEFT LOOSE, who has performed well on the back of similar breaks in the past and he resumes on an attractive mark. Kratos brings one of the more solid recent pieces of form to the table by virtue of his creditable fourth at Down Royal recently and he is also lurking on a dangerous mark. Morning Approach is another who has been given a helping hand by the assessor and she is third choice ahead of Blue Peak and Crystal Pool.

The suggestion is KRATOS, a former winner for Roger Varian who ran his best race for this yard at Down Royal 11 days ago.

(2) Flip Mode 16/1, C&D winner. 33/1, last of 8 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Definite chance on form from a couple of seasons back but, as things stand, she has a fair bit to prove.

Signs of improvement at Leicester four weeks ago, finishing third to Hurt You Never.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

HURT YOU NEVER has been in the form of her life of late and the five-timer looks very much on the cards as she looks to follow up on a determined success at Newbury last Tuesday. A 5lb penalty may not be enough to halt her progress and she should have too much for the likes of recent course runner-up The Cola Kid, and Under Curfew.

THE COLA KID signalled this his turn is very near when going close over 7.4f here recently and, with this drop back in trip a good thing (all four of his career wins have been over 6f), the 6-y-o is taken to strike off the same mark. Gherkin has been given a chance by the handicapper and he is preferred as the main danger, for all that the bang in-form Hurt You Never has to be high on any shortlist. Bama Lama should have a part to play, too.

The thriving HURT YOU NEVER could well complete a five-timer. Bama Lama is second choice ahead of The Cola Kid.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

FOREVER A DOVE may have disappointed under a penalty at Cartmel last time out, but the form of that race has worked out well and, more to the point, he was a taking winner here over shorter on his penultimate start. If bouncing back to that form, he should have enough to see off the like of Clean Getaway and Uggy Uggy Uggy, who hails from the in-form Milton Harris yard.

UGGY UGGY UGGY is gradually getting the hang of things and might take a marked step forward now switched to handicaps, so he takes marginal preference over Forever A Dove, whose opening mark is potentially favourable based on her bumper performances. Coal Fire is also considered.

LTO Selection:

18:50 Roscommon Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A tricky looking contest and BLAZING SUNSET may be worth another shot despite a slightly disappointing effort last time. The Bated Breath gelding went to post an odds-on shot to follow up on his Sligo maiden victory in a Fairyhouse handicap last month. He didn't really settle up at a mile-and-a-half then and flattened out late on to finish fourth to Dubawi Spectre. He drops back in trip now and connections also fit blinkers for the first time. Dubawi Spectre has made little impression in the Ulster Derby since and is also now tried in blinkers. Picture Of A City was a good winner at Down Royal last time but has to defy a 10lb hike. Joseph O'Brien won a good handicap the other day with a maiden in The Franchise and top-weight Ikigai Star has to be respected in this after a couple of nice placed runs.

PICTURE OF A CITY is going the right way and is taken to add to his recent success at Down Royal. Eastern Legend should give another good account and Immutable is worthy of respect.

Joseph O'Brien hasn't held back in sending IKIGAI STAR into handicaps, and it was a decent maiden in which he was third last time.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Ffos Las Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LABALABA's lack of experience cost him on debut at Salisbury but he still ran extremely well on that occasion, and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. The son of Sioux Nation gets the vote ahead of the likes of Miggy Magic, and John Steed, who is a key player based on the pick of his form.

This is all about LABALABA, who shaped with plenty of promise when second to a bright prospect on his recent introduction at Salisbury. He should have little trouble going one better here before going on to better things. John Steed has failed to build on his encouraging debut in two subsequent appearances but he nevertheless looks the one most likely to follow the selection home. Miggy Magic is most interesting of the remainder.

A straightforward race to assess. LABALABA holds a leading chance on his debut form and John Steed is next best on the figures.

(1) Cracking Destiny 10/1, May not be the force of old but his handicap mark fully reflects that and there were positives to glean from his reappearance effort Kelso in May.

2-4 over fences; made a bad mid-race mistake when below par at Cartmel last time.
LTO Selection:

19:10 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Not beaten far over C&D last month and a taking winner over further here in May, ADMIRAL'S SUNSET has been a different proposition since undergoing wind surgery and a fifth career win could be in the offing for the 10-year-old. Sao hinted at a return to winning ways with his second at Perth, while C&D winner Sea Prince is another leading contender.

SEA PRINCE is appealing on the back of a solid reappearance second at Southwell where he pulled clear of the rest. Fellow C&D winners Romanor and Admiral's Sunset are both feared, particularly the former who has edged back down to an attractive mark and is likely to benefit from this drop back in trip. Cracking Destiny was a winner of his sole previous start here and is also considered in a competitive handicap, along with the unreliable but capable Sao.

LTO Selection:

19:20 Roscommon Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KODIAC PRINCE bids for a quick hat-trick here after a cosy success at the Curragh on Friday night. The six-year-old followed up his Gowran win with a convincing success at HQ over nine furlongs and is in the form of his life. A 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop him going in again. Persian Queen landed a touch on her penultimate start at Cork and this track may suit better than Sligo where she finished fifth last time. The handicapper has eased her 2lb since that run. Hazy Mehmory ran on well when a close fifth at Down Royal recently and looks like another for the shortlist here.

KODIAC PRINCE arrives at the top of his game and a 7 lb penalty for his big-field Curragh success might not be enough to prevent him from completing a quick hat-trick. Sir Antonino is weighted to have a say and needs considering in refitted blinkers. Hazy Mehmory can't be ruled out for her in-form stable, while the returning Knocklane Lass is another to factor in if there is a market move in her favour.

Preference is for SIR ANTONINO, who is a strong contender on his penultimate effort. Kodiac Prince is the standout threat.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Ffos Las Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

DORAS TAMAR must hold every chance if building on a strong runner-up effort on debut at Lingfield. The step up in trip is a major plus and she should be able to progress and see off Passing Time, who has run with plenty of credit the last twice. Style Of Life and Change Of Fortune can also have a say in proceedings.

DORAS TAMAR made a positive start when second in a maiden at Lingfield a month ago and, in a thin race, she's likely to go one better. Passing Time is the main danger and a return to form from Change of Fortune would put him in the mix.

Lingfield runner-up DORAS TAMAR holds strong claims. Passing Time, the only other solid-looking option, is feared most.

LTO Selection:

19:40 Stratford Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Irish raider Nasee appeals from the bottom of the weights and he is one to monitor closely in the betting on his first run over hurdles on these shores since he joined Shark Hanlon. However, RED FORCE ONE appeals most based on recent form and a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him following up his Huntingdon success. Pink Eyed Pedro is also considered.

NASEE comes here on the back of a good third in a big-field Punchestown handicap so this Irish raider looks the way to go with less on his plate here. Red Force One made light of a long absence when scoring at Huntingdon and is feared most ahead of the enigmatic Blakeney Point who can have a say if on his A-game.

LTO Selection:

19:50 Roscommon Listed 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Irish Leger entry ESPIONAGE is a fascinating runner here with Ryan Moore travelling to Roscommon for the ride on the son of Galileo. He was a big eye-catcher on his debut at Galway last year, when running on well to finish second to stablemate Alexandroupolis and duly went on to land his maiden at the Curragh, beating a now former Ballydoyle colt in Sierra Blanca. That winner was Group 3 placed subsequently before beating Sprewell in a hot Naas maiden. The form looks very strong and it would be no surprise if Espionage proved a class act here despite a bit of belated comeback. Kingswood could be the danger after a big run to finish third in the Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh in late May. Jackfinbar is the unknown quantity on his first outing for Willie Mullins. The Whipper gelding hasn't been seen since July 2019 but was a Group 3 winner in France for Harry Dunlop. It will be interesting to see how much ability he retains.

ESPIONAGE improved with each run as a 2-y-o, just touched off in the Criterium International at Saint-Cloud when last seen 8 months ago, so he's the obvious choice down in grade. Kingswood is open to further progress and looks the main danger, although another solid showing from Serious Challenge looks assured.

Espionage commands the utmost respect but a chance is taken on ANGELS WRATH, who is bang in form and trying a new trip.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

KEHLANI debuts in a handicap off a workable mark and she is an attractive proposition, despite giving weight away. Mrs Twig drops back in distance after tiring near the finish over 1m4f at Newbury, which creates hope of more to come from her, while Mildyjama is respected running off 2lb lower than last month's fifth-placed finish in a similar race at Lingfield.

APOLLO'S ANGEL has shaped with encouragement on each of her three runs to date and looks a likely improver now upped in trip, so she's preferred to Mildyjama and Kehlani.

LTO Selection:

20:10 Stratford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

Some in-form rivals are set to make this an interesting clash, with Line Of Descent, who is respected under a 7lb penalty after his 2m4f win at Southwell, and Go Fox, a winner over 2m here last time out, both highly recommended. However, the hat-trick seeking OPENING BID shades preference given the manner of his two recent victories suggests a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to stop him going in again.

The thriving LINE OF DESCENT might be up to notching another win. Opening Bid is another who arrives at the top of his game and rates an obvious threat, while Irish raider Lakefield Flyer is also respected on his first chase start since his Downpatrick maiden win in May.

LTO Selection:

20:20 Roscommon Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The 84-rated IMPERO has run well on his last couple of outings and looks capable of winning a maiden of this standard. The Zoffany gelding stayed on well when chasing home Merlin Giant at Down Royal last time and a similar effort may be enough now. There are some smart jumping sorts in this, presumably tuning up with Galway around the corner. The versatile Ash Tree Meadow was narrowly denied on his last outing over timber at Punchestown and has to be respected. Filey Bay hasn't been seen since finished a good third in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham and is another that has to be considered.

FILEY BAY quickly made up into a smart hurdler for Emmet Mullins last season and this strong-traveller appeals as the sort to do well in this sphere so can make a winning Flat debut. Buddy One is another who brings very good hurdling form to the table and is next on the list with Gordon Elliott's pair Glan and Ash Tree Meadow also in the mix starting out in this code with useful hurdling form to their names.

A strong challenge from the NH sphere with FILEY BAY looking a likely winner

LTO Selection:

20:30 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

INTRICACY posted a good effort when second to an improver at Sandown last month and, given he was doing his best work at the finish that day, returning to this trip could unlock further progress. That is not to underestimate the chance held by the hat-trick seeking Lucky Fifteen, who impressed under a penalty at Goodwood 18 days ago and is feared, despite running off 5lb higher. Tuxedo Junction and Wisper are old rivals that also enter calculations.

The two 3-y-os can dominate this, with the progressive LUCKY FIFTEEN taken to prove just too strong for Intricacy and complete the hat-trick.

Unexposed INTRICACY (nap) holds appealing claims off an unchanged mark back up slightly in trip. Lucky Fifteen is second choice.

Plaisir Des Flos

4/1(+60%)
(4) Plaisir Des Flos 4/1, Bred to stay well and again showed promise having been set a lot to do when fifth of 12 in bumper at Wincanton (15.2f) when last seen in December. Likely has more to offer in this sphere and good showing not ruled out.
It was a better bumper than this in which he stayed on for fifth at Wincanton.

(3) Joker Jack 7.5/1, £5,000 3-y-o, Mahler gelding. Dam, no show in 2 starts over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 19f) Mardale. Betting should guide ahead of racecourse bow.

LTO Selection:

20:40 Stratford NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Plaisir Des Flos and Apache Princess both need to improve, so it might be best to side with FORT RANDALL, who showed promise despite running green at Ballinrobe in May. His trainer has an impressive strike-rate on his travels to the UK and he looks likely to be a popular choice. Frites and Private Walker appeal on pedigree and can give the selection something to think about.

FORT RANDALL was sent off at unflattering odds but showed ability nevertheless when fourth in a Ballinrobe bumper on debut 5 weeks ago and could be worth chancing to build on that here. Frites and Private Walker may emerge as the chief dangers in a bumper lacking depth.

0-9 on Flat but ran creditably last time and may take advantage of this drop in class.

(5) King Charles 4.5/1, Back on track when second of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 8 days ago. Another bold showing is on the cards off an unchanged mark.

(7) Goodison Girl 33/1, Last of 5 in handicap at Chepstow (12f, good to firm, 11/1) 24 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others appeal more.
Has little worthwhile form; new trip needs to help matters.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Ffos Las Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Having reverted to the Flat with a solid effort at Bath last month, Masterdream appeals on these terms, while King Charles has something to offer following his near miss on the all-weather last month. He is entitled to be sharper given that run came on the back of an 82-day break. However, TIN FANDANGO looks the way to go given he arrives in good heart and has a live chance now he is back on a winning mark.

KING CHARLES got right back on track when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week having fallen in the weights and can go one better off the same mark here in a race where lots arrive with question marks against them. Masterdream didn't enjoy the rub of the green when third at Bath last time and is next on the list ahead of veteran Tin Fandango.

Class-dropper MASTERDREAM may be capable of opening his Flat account in a weak affair. King Charles is feared most.

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.
