1
1st (16) Navassa Island (2.2/1 +2%)
Navassa Island

2.2/1(+2%)
(16) Navassa Island 2.2/1, Thrice-raced filly. 4/5, fourth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) 31 days ago, upsides entering final 1f and fading late on. Return to 6f rates a plus on that evidence and she's a big player.
Drops back to 6f here which might well be a help but has to bounce back.

2nd (14) She's Quality (3.33/1 -21%)
She's Quality

3.33/1(-21%)
(14) She's Quality 3.33/1, Promising individual. 2½ lengths fourth of 8 to Kairyu in Group 3 Anglesey Stakes (33/1) at this course (6.3f, soft) 22 days ago. Open to further progress and she's well worth considering back in calmer waters.
Has a Moyglare entry and clearly capable of winning a maiden; strong contender.

3rd (1) Letsbefrankaboutit (1.38/1 +21%)
Letsbefrankaboutit

1.38/1(+21%)
(1) Letsbefrankaboutit 1.38/1, €40,000 yearling, €240,000 2-y-o. Half-brother to 3 winners, including Moojim (2-y-o 5f winner) and 2-y-o 5f winner Lady Ayresome, while his dam was also a 2-y-o 6f winner. Lots to like on paper and Group-race entries suggest that he's well-regarded.
Entered in the National Stakes; no surprise should he be good enough on debut.

4th (13) Prime Art (40/1 -43%)
Prime Art

40/1(-43%)
(13) Prime Art 40/1, Foaled April 3. €110,000 yearling, Churchill filly. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, closely related to 2-y-o 7f (Prix Jean-Luc Lagardère) winner Horatio Nelson and winner up to 1¼m Viscount Nelson (both very smart) out of Imagine (won Oaks/Irish 1000 Guineas). Makes plenty of appeal on paper.
Well-bred newcomer by Churchill even if she might want further; respected.
5th
5th (2) Simplexity (18/1 +0%)
Simplexity

18/1(+0%)
(2) Simplexity 18/1, Invincible Army colt. Promise when fourth on debut in a Naas novice (6f) in July, keeping on for hands-and-heels riding. Still in need of the experience when midfield in 20-runner contest back there 6 days ago and he remains with potential.
Not disgraced in the Ballyhane Stakes at Naas on Monday but more needed.
6th
6th (9) Avatar Jet (50/1 -52%)
Avatar Jet

50/1(-52%)
(9) Avatar Jet 50/1, Once-raced colt. 50/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at this course (7f, soft) on debut 22 days ago, ridden 2f out and flashing tail.
Interesting back in trip and could well be one to outrun his likely odds.
7th
7th (17) Needle Night (66/1 +0%)
Needle Night

66/1(+0%)
(17) Needle Night 66/1, Once-raced filly. 18/1 and tongue strap on, sixth of 12 in maiden at Galway (7f, good) on debut 9 days ago, keeping on when forced to switch final 1f. Should improve.
Ran okay without really getting home in a 7f maiden at Galway; should improve.
8th
8th (4) Aratayvo (22/1 +0%)
Aratayvo

22/1(+0%)
(4) Aratayvo 22/1, Foaled January 31. €36,000 foal, Footstepsinthesand colt. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to high-class 5.7f-7f winner Lethal Force. Yard having good spell and he's a newcomer to note.
Speedily bred newcomer but might be best watched on this occasion.
9th
9th (18) Scorchio (25/1 -56%)
Scorchio

25/1(-56%)
(18) Scorchio 25/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 16 in maiden at Naas (5f, good to firm, 2/1) 46 days ago, tackled 2f out and fading. Needs to bounce back.
This trip will suit and she might even get further but looks the stable second string.
10th
10th (3) Awesome Spirit Gal (40/1 +20%)
Awesome Spirit Gal

40/1(+20%)
(3) Awesome Spirit Gal 40/1, Foaled April 23. Invincible Spirit filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Spirit Gal. Dam, maiden (stayed 13f), half-sister to 9f-1¼m winner Street Secret and 15f winner Awesome Star (both useful).
Holds an entry in the Moyglare Stud Stakes and potentially interesting newcomer.
11th
11th (10) Secret Jungle (100/1 -100%)
Secret Jungle

100/1(-100%)
(10) Secret Jungle 100/1, Foaled April 13. €12,500 foal, €17,000 yearling, Bungle Inthejungle colt. Closely related to 5f/6f winner Time Douglas and 2-y-o 5f winner Absolute Beginners and half-brother to 5.7f-7f winner Macs Dilemma.
Trainer's horses dangerous to underestimate when highly tried in maidens but best watched.
12th
12th (5) Dundrum (50/1 -127%)
Dundrum

50/1(-127%)
(5) Dundrum 50/1, Makes plenty of appeal on paper but not as clued up as the market anticipated when seventh of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (5f, 6/5) back in March, running green. Appeals as the type to leave that in his wake for very good yard back from a break.
Clearly a lot better was expected on his Dundalk debut in March; interesting runner.
13th
13th (11) Clarita (16/1 +11%)
Clarita

16/1(+11%)
(11) Clarita 16/1, Calyx filly who had landed a barrier trial prior to a good second in a Cork maiden (6f) in June. Disappointed on the back of that when seventh of 12 in maiden at Naas (5f, good) 36 days ago but she's not one to write off.
Very disappointing at Naas latest but a serious contender here on her previous Cork form.
14th
14th (8) Aucusn (125/1 +0%)
Aucusn

125/1(+0%)
(8) Aucusn 125/1, Once-raced colt. 18/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at Galway (7f, good) on debut 9 days ago, never involved. This ought to reveal a good deal more.
No impression on his debut over 7f at Galway; drop back in trip could suit.
15th
15th (7) Verified (125/1 +0%)
Verified

125/1(+0%)
(7) Verified 125/1, Foaled May 4. Camacho gelding. Closely related to smart winner up to 6f Taxiwala and useful 5f winner Kodama and half-brother to useful winner up to 5.3f Billy Dylan.
Speedily-bred newcomer by Camacho; best watched.
16th
16th (15) Beano Power (100/1 -300%)
Beano Power

100/1(-300%)
(15) Beano Power 100/1, Foaled March 16. €60,000 yearling, Dandy Man filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Alpine Girl. Dam unraced half-sister to 9.5f/1¼m winner Cosmodrome and winner up to 1¼m Splashdown (both useful).
Newcomer with a nice speed and stamina mix but best watched this time.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Navassa Island and She's Quality both bring Group 3 form to the table, with the former boasting a stronger level of form having chased home Albany winner Porta Fortuna on her racecourse debut at Naas. She hasn't progressed since that effort, finishing down the field at Royal Ascot before another defeat at Leopardstown, while the latter has performed with promise on both of her starts. That said, LETSBEFRANKABOUTIT represents a stable who are in flying form with their juveniles this season and it would be no surprise if the son of Sioux Nation were to get off the mark at the first attempt.

A runner-up in Group 3 company on debut, NAVASSA ISLAND seemed to find the extended 7f taxing her stamina in a Leopardstown maiden 31 days ago and with the drop back in trip expected to suit, she can make it fourth time lucky. She's Quality has showed more than enough to think a race of this nature is within reach and she's the lead threat. Newcomer Letsbefrankaboutit, Dundrum and Simplexity are others fancied to be in the mix.

The vote goes to the Twomey newcomer LETSBEFRANKABOUTIT who holds some nice entries with the stable's juveniles in excellent form

Night Safari

(1) Night Safari 3/1, Progressive maiden who posted a good fourth of 7 in maiden (11/2) at Newcastle (7.1f) 45 days ago. Looks to start life in handicaps off a lenient-looking mark so he merits serious consideration.

Qandil

22/1(-10%)

(11) Eagle Landed 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, last of 13 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut with work to do, but interesting to see a market move.
Showed no significant promise in his qualifying runs but well worth a market check.

Game winner of 6f Brighton maiden in June but well held on subsequent nursery debut.
LTO Selection:

13:58 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The Gemma Tutty stable can do little wrong at present and the step up in trip looks like a perfect move for STAR OF LAZISE as he looks to get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. The two-year-old ran a career best at Pontefract last time out and he gets the vote ahead of Fast Love and Night Safari, who wasn't beaten far at Newcastle last time out.

NIGHT SAFARI has improved with each of his three starts to date and looks attractively weighted for his handicap debut so gets the vote in an open-looking nursery. Star of Lazise can race off the same mark as when a good Pontefract third so is next on the list, although Fast Love is also weighted to have a say if back to her best.

Gemma Tutty's colt STAR OF LAZISE looked unlucky not to get closer to the target when third off today's mark on his nursery debut.

Meadow Soprano

LTO Selection:

14:10 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FORTUNA FAVENTE is a more than interesting newcomer. Barry Connell's five-year-old mare is related to several winners including Appreciate It who landed the Supreme Novices' Hurdle among his three Grade 1 hurdle victories. Fortuna Favente made six figures at the Sales and has to be given plenty of respect ahead of her debut. Gaye Winnie wasn't beaten far into third over slightly further at this track last month and wouldn't need to find much more to get off the mark. Artemis Angel has changed stables since finishing a close third in Killarney. The form of that race has been franked, so she should be involved. Franno has been in decent nick on the Flat and could show up better on her fifth crack at hurdles. John McConnell brings Meadow Soprano up for her Irish debut and a market check is advised.

Those with previous form don't set a tall standard so it could well be worth siding with debutante FORTUNA FAVENTE. She makes plenty of appeal on paper (half-sister to high-class hurdler Appreciate It) for a good yard and it would come as no surprise to see her play a lead role. Gaye Winnie and Artemis Angel are others fancied to be thereabouts.

The well-bred FORTUNA FAVENTE cost plenty and starts off in an ordinary contest; Artemis Angel is possibly her biggest danger

LTO Selection:

14:20 Curragh Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Plenty to consider in this wide-open contest, with a tentative vote going to ES VEDRA. The daughter of Dark Angel went into plenty of notebooks when doing her best work at the finish over an extended 5f at Navan last month and is bred to relish the 7f trip here. Bright Dick suffered a luckless passage when sixth at the Galway Festival last week and shouldn't be inconvenienced by the return to this distance. Luke Comer's colt may prove the biggest danger, ahead of Yuzu and Rhythm King.

GOSFORD took his form to a new level when successful at Gowran a fortnight ago and on that evidence, a 3 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Bang Po and Es Vedra are just a couple of potential dangers.

One that could take beating though is the unexposed TIKTOK TIME, who should be suited by stepping back up to 7f

LTO Selection:

14:28 Leicester Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

INDIVIDUALISM ran a highly encouraging race when second on his debut at Ayr and he must hold every chance if building on that effort. His chief threat looks to be costly Godolphin purchase Clear Image, who must be of serious interest for a stable with a good record here. Fellow newcomers Celtic Warrior and Persica are also ones to note for market support.

An interesting novice, with the regally-bred INDIVIDUALISM fancied to build on the obvious promise of his Ayr debut and get off the mark at the second attempt. The biggest threat seems likely to come from one of the host of appealing newcomers, with Godolphin's already-gelded Clear Image, Persica and Celtic Warrior all bred to be above average.

Clear Image is an appealing newcomer but INDIVIDUALISM is hard to oppose after a nice debut and with Group entries to his name.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

SHE'S A NOVELTY ran very well when third over an extended 1m4f at Chester last time and Fergal O'Brien's mare, who was beaten just three quarters of a length on that occasion, looks the one to beat. Breguet Boy has been given a chance by the handicapper to get involved and appears to be the biggest danger ahead of Broad Appeal.

CHARLIE ARTHUR has a lower turf mark to exploit and a third-place finish at Newbury when last seen in June suggests he may well be up to cashing in. She's A Novelty looks a very solid option, with Breguet Boy another to consider back up in trip.

Solid placed efforts in her two starts this summer, after a 628-day absence, make SHE'S A NOVELTY (nap) clearly the most likely winner.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Downpatrick Conditions Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AN MHI is in a rich vein of form and could bring up the four-timer for Gordon Elliott. He began his winning run with an easy success in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle in May and has since been sent across the Irish Sea to land novice hurdle events in Perth and Uttoxeter. Elliott has a superb record at this northern venue. Weddell Sea is a worthy opponent. He was placed in two decent handicap hurdles at Listowel and Kilbeggan which earned him a shot at a valuable contest in Galway last week where he finished unplaced. He is well versed in small fields, though. Gordons Aura also represents Elliott and has the ability to get involved off bottom-weight, while Annexation could return to form in this company.

AN MHI is a useful sort who holds the edge at these weights and he can follow up his easy Uttoxeter success, at the chief expense of Weddell Sea. Annexation appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Winner of three races in a row without having any sort of serious test, AN MHI may cope with the drop in trip to extend his sequence

LTO Selection:

14:50 Curragh Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ULTRA FINE gets a confident vote in this maiden. A well-bred son of Expert Eye, he improved from his debut effort at this track at the end of June when almost scoring at Killarney the following month, and he may not need to improve much on that form in order to strike at the third time of asking. God Knows is improving between runs and gave the impression the penny was beginning to drop at Killarney last time, while Gowran second New Phenomenon looks the pick of the Jessica Harrington-trained pair.

ULTRA FINE stepped up on his debut (after a gelding operation) when second in a maiden at Killarney and he won't need to improve much more to go one better. New Phenomenon is the clear danger on form and Kadeen also has some potential.

The Dermot Weld-trained ULTRA FINE (nap) stepped up when just touched off at Killarney last month. He is going the right way

LTO Selection:

14:58 Leicester Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A promising second on his debut over shorter at Ascot last month, KINGDOM OF RICHES sets the standard on form and he can get off the mark for his in-form connections. Cool Dividend also ran a highly encouraging race on his racecourse bow at Salisbury and he looks to be the main danger. Newcomer Dubai Venture is bred to be smart and could have a say.

KINGDOM OF RICHES made an encouraging start to his career when second at Ascot a couple of weeks ago and is preferred to fellow debut runner-up Cool Dividend in a contest which could develop into a straight fight between that pair unless the betting speaks strongly in the favour of one or more of the newcomers.

This should concern KINGDOM OF RICHES and Cool Dividend, both of whom smacked of surefire future winners first time out.

LTO Selection:

15:05 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This looks like a good opportunity for MISS MACH ONE to get off the mark after running well when beaten just two lengths over 5f at Sandown on her previous outing in May. Each of the four runners who finished ahead of her that day have subsequently shed their maiden tag, so that form is turning out well and this extra yardage seems sure to suit. Bint Havana Grey is another with experience and a fitness edge over some of these rivals, while Tropical Shot is the most interesting debutant.

Having shaped with definite promise on debut at Newbury, BINT HAVANA GREY probably overdid things on the front end when fourth at Haydock 23 days ago and she's worth another chance. Miss Mach One back from a break can put her experience to good use and feature, whilst Invincible Siam, Activated and Tropical Shot are a trio of newcomers to monitor in the betting for clues.

The form of the Sandown race in which MISS MACH ONE finished fifth in May has been well franked and she can improve for a sixth furlong

LTO Selection:

15:10 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Mark McNiff has been among the winners recently and a chance is taken on his FASSBENDER. He hasn't been at his best in better company, but has been dropped 2lb and just gets into this basement grade. It is worth noting that he won on his last visit here and has a very good record in Downpatrick. Cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Woodstream Lad certainly outran his 50/1 odds when third in an opportunity handicap hurdle at Sligo last month. That run came off a break of almost nine months and Mike O'Connor, who rides this track well, has been booked again. He would want the ground to dry out a bit. Silverstrand is a long-standing maiden, but is a threat on the back of a runner-up spot in Kilbeggan last month.

Lots with chances. SILVERSTRAND is knocking on the door so is taken to gain an overdue first victory off just a 1 lb higher mark than when a good recent Kilbeggan second. Woodstream Lad rates a big threat though on the back of his Sligo third in first-time blinkers, with the returning Gwan Tadhg weighted to have a say if fully tuned up.

With Crafty Gael due to run at Kilbeggan on Saturday, WOODSTREAM LAD is a hopeful choice after his 50-1 Sligo third

LTO Selection:

15:20 Curragh Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TAKE HEART has made a very pleasing start to his career with successive good runs on the all-weather at Dundalk and this appears to be a decent opportunity to follow up his win over 1m at that venue last time. Johnny Murtagh's charge won going away on that occasion so this step up in trip is likely to suit and an opening handicap mark of 80 doesn't appear out of his reach. Fellow last-time-out winner Mr King looks the biggest danger after his success over 1m 2f at Roscommon, while Free Flow should also be seriously considered.

TAKE HEART looked anything but the finished article but was still talented enough to get the job done at Dundalk in March. Back from a break and representing an excellent yard, he can find the necessary improvement to make a winning handicap/turf debut. Hasten Slowly and Mr King are just a couple of potential threats.

Preference is for SLIEVE BINNIAN, who looked as if this trip would suit here on Derby weekend

LTO Selection:

15:28 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

SEVEN QUESTIONS arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Yarmouth and Ripon, where he scored in ready fashion. George Scott's charge will have to negotiate a 6lb penalty for that win, which is likely to prove lenient. Impressive Act looks the biggest danger after a second last time over 6f at Ascot, but he may struggle to get his head in front up 3lb in the ratings, while Oops can also get involved.

SEVEN QUESTIONS looks an uncomplicated and pretty useful juvenile, supplementing his Yarmouth success under a penalty at Ripon on Tuesday. His mark looks workable so the hat-trick beckons, with well-bred pair Impressive Act and Jumeirah Breeze feared most.

Preference is for IMPRESSIVE ACT, who was second in what was almost certainly a stronger race than this on his nursery debut at Ascot.

Not the most stoutly bred but third of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good; 10-1) on debut.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Windsor Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SAYEDATY SADATY struggled to get involved in the Chesham at Royal Ascot last time, but he shaped as if a win could be just around the corner on his racecourse debut, where he was beaten just a nose over 7f at Yarmouth. Connections of Alnoory will be hoping she can build on her win over 7f at Epsom last time, while Louiescall is also fancied to hit the frame.

SAYEDATY SADATY was just denied at Yarmouth on his debut and bettered that form when beaten only 3 lengths in the Chesham at Royal Ascot, so sets a solid standard. A few of his opponents are expected to improve, including Continuance and Louiescall.

Sayedaty Sadaty appears to dominate calculations but it may not be such a straightforward task if CONTINUANCE builds on his debut.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Eyes are drawn to Lighthouse Rose who has won two of the last three renewals of this race. She has been out of form since winning at this track in August, but gets first-time blinkers and is dangerous. THEONEWEDREAMOF posted solid placed efforts at this venue in May and at Cork in July, so a second victory over hurdles doesn't look far away. She is up in trip after keeping on over 2m4f in Cork. Fruit Blossom came in second over a similar trip at this track in April which brings her into contention. Howaya C D And E won her bumper here and also didn't run badly in second when last seen in a maiden hurdle at this venue last month, albeit that wasn't a deep race. The Grey Monty has a long absence to overcome, but has been placed in three of her four races over flights.

THEONEWEDREAMOF can probably be forgiven a lesser run in a big-field Flat handicap at Galway last month and her recent hurdle form is very solid. Second choice is Howaya C D And E who has been runner-up twice in maiden company here this summer and looks on a workable mark for this rather belated handicap debut. Gordon Elliott's Fruit Blossom may prove best of the rest.

The first-time blinkered Lighthouse Rose bids for her third win in this race but handicap debutant HOWAYA C D AND E is preferred

Both wins have been over much shorter trips; unconvincing of later and an unlikely player.
LTO Selection:

15:50 Curragh Listed 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Dermot Weld has his string in fine form at present and he looks to have another good chance here with AZAZAT. The highest-rated in this line-up, she travelled very well in the Irish Oaks here before weakening late on and she has less on her plate this time, with the drop in distance also a plus. However, there are no shortage of dangers, most notably recent Listed runner-up Unless, who could improve for this extra yardage, and Didn'thavemuchtodo. The unexposed Gozen is interesting on her first start in 10 months having shown serious potential as a juvenile.

C&D winner KERKIYRA has the best form and, if blinkers perk her up, she can get belatedly make the breakthrough at this level. Azazat, in the same ownership, is a big player dropping back in grade and Unless should also be on the premises.

Although dropping trip AZAZAT looks the one to beat here

Poor last twice; cheekpieces could turn things around but dangerous to bank on it.
LTO Selection:

15:58 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MISS MAI TAI has racked up a sequence of wins of late and James Fanshawe's filly ran on nicely to win last time over 6f at Lingfield. A further 3lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear likely to halt her progression here. Torfrida races off the same mark as her decent third over 6f at Newmarket last time so she is feared most, while Creative Style isn't without a shout.

The thriving MISS MAI TAI had more in hand than the bare margin suggests when completing the hat-trick at Lingfield, so she's taken to extend her winning run. Torfrida is a solid alternative.

James Fanshawe's MISS MAI TAI (nap) has developed a canny habit of not winning her races by too far and she remains well handicapped.

LTO Selection:

16:05 Windsor Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A taking winner on her debut at Doncaster last month, PRIMEVAL looks like a filly that could be destined for better things and she can maintain her unbeaten record in this small but select field. Alpha Zulu has undergone wind surgery since scoring at Kempton at March and he looks to be her main danger, as well as Many A Year, who improved from his debut when runner-up at Salisbury.

PRIMEVAL looked a filly of some promise on her debut when showing a good turn of foot to score at Doncaster and this half-sister to the stable's high-class winner Time Test can follow up before going up in grade. Kempton scorer Alpha Zulu appeals as the one to chase her home ahead of Laoisman.

Primeval looked most promising at Doncaster but ALPHA ZULU has untapped potential too and he's marginally preferred this time.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Out of action for over two years after winning a point-to-point, GENTLE AND KIND will have delighted connections when finishing second at Kilbeggan last month on Rules debut. She steps up in trip by a couple of furlongs and can go one place better under Rachael Blackmore. Rule The Wind was soundly beaten at Tramore last time but may have found the trip a bit sharp. He was narrowly foiled over 2m4f at Tipperary in the spring and this test of stamina should suit better. The locally-trained Invictus World won a bumper at Navan last year and was a fair fourth on his second hurdles start at this venue. He's back from a break and may improve for the application of a tongue-tie.

RULE THE WIND wasn't at his best when third at Tramore last time but possesses much the best form on offer so is fancied to bounce back in style now stepping up in distance. Zettabyte didn't enjoy the rub of the green when pulled up at Kilbeggan and can emerge as the chief threat ahead of Notkeepinyagoing, who showed fairly useful winning form in bumpers and can build on her Wexford hurdling debut fifth.

Second to a useful mare on hurdling debut at Kilbeggan, GENTLE AND KIND (nap) should be hard to beat

LTO Selection:

16:20 Curragh Handicap 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A winner of his last three starts under both codes, LONDONOFFICECALLIN can do little wrong at present and the four-timer looks like a distinct possibility for the progressive six-year-old. An 8lb rise for his most recent win at Killarney could prove lenient and he is preferred to the capable Nostra Casa and Bella Nebula, who is of interest on her handicap debit. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Master Dunraven, Tender Camilla and Zileo.

NOSTRA CASA shaped as if still in good form in a race not run to suit when fourth at Ballinrobe so this low-mileage 7-y-o remains of interest off a fair mark. The thriving Londonofficecallin is an obvious threat, while Art of Silence has potential in this sphere on hurdles form.

As long as the ground doesn't get any quicker then it's worth taking a chance on NOSTRA CASA

LTO Selection:

16:28 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

AJYAD is enjoying a very fruitful campaign and she arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Bath and Hamilton respectively. Alice Haynes' filly won more comfortably than the winning distance suggests last time and a 6lb rise in the ratings doesn't appear likely to halt her upward trajectory. Overactive is likely to pose the sternest questions to the selection after his win over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield on his previous outing, while Cool Party completes the shortlist.

AJYAD is going the right way and scored with something to spare at Hamilton last time, so she's worth a chance to complete the hat-trick at the likely expense of Overactive, who also won cosily at Lingfield on his latest outing. Savrola is another one to consider having had excuses the last twice.

The two with momentum behind them are OVERACTIVE and Ajyad, and 3yos have won the past two runnings of this.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Windsor Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

HURT YOU NEVER is a filly on a roll at present and it is difficult to see why her winning streak would come to an end on this occasion. Another 3lb rise for her most recent success at Newbury looks manageable and she should have too much for the opposition. Recent Bath scorer All In The Hips and Moralisa, who could be open to plenty of improvement on her handicap debut, appeal most of the remainder.

Despite 5 wins already this year HURT YOU NEVER still finds herself on a mark in only the mid-60s and is taken to show she's still a step ahead of the handicapper. Recent Bath winner All In The Hips is feared most ahead of Lahina Bay, who will appreciate the drop to 6f.

Course winner ALL IN THE HIPS is marginally preferred to the red-hot Hurt You Never.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NUTTORRIDGE regularly makes the trip east from his stable in Sligo to run at Downpatrick and his two career wins have come at this venue. He did little wrong when runner-up over C&D last month and the horse that beat him followed up under a penalty a week later. Prior to his tumble at Limerick, Tuff Days had been most consistent and went down by only half a length on his most recent completed start at Kilbeggan. He stays further than this and is likely to contend again. How Decc has shown a bit of improvement lately and is now tried in cheekpieces. Runner-up to an easy winner over fences at Tipperary, he wasn't beaten far when fourth over a trip similar to this at Limerick last time and is partnered by an in-form claimer.

Mark McNiff's NUTTORRIDGE arrives on the back of 2 solid in-frame efforts this spring and is taken to resume winning ways under Phillip Enright. Tuff Days has been knocking on the door and rates a likely threat if none the worse for a fall at Limerick last time. How Decc is another to consider, while Gavin Cromwell handicap newcomer Across The Ocean and the Charles Byrnes-trained I Am Spider Man are a couple to keep an eye on in the betting.

Dual course winner NUTTORRIDGE looks the part on the evidence of his second here last time since the winner followed up at Killarney

LTO Selection:

16:50 Curragh Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A case can be made for most of these but marginal preference is for the hat-trick seeking BELLA BLUE EYES, who accounted for a useful field at Killarney last month. That form suggests that a mark of 88 should be workable for the three-year-old and she merits the utmost respect. The equally progressive Artemis Jones could prove to be the main threat to the selection on her handicap debut. Vadiana and Helpmeout also have strong form claims, while Kayhana and Ma Belle Artiste complete the shortlist.

A competitive finale but HELPMEOUT looks ready to strike having been just edged out by a subsequent winner at Naas last time. Progressive 3-y-os Bella Blue Eyes and Artemis Jones head the dangers.

The fact that Paddy Twomey has made several Group race entries for BELLA BLUES EYES implies that she is well handicapped

Just a respectable third of five here when back on turf in May and not seen again since.
LTO Selection:

16:58 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

BELIEVE YOU ME justified strong market support when landing a break-through success at Chepstow in July and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent Heather Main's filly from completing a double. Trabajo Detecho lost little in defeat when second at Nottingham 10 days ago. The three-year-old has been shaping as if 7f could unlock some more potential and he's feared most, ahead of Exigency.

BELIEVE YOU ME showed much improved form to get off the mark at Chepstow 2 weeks ago and Heather Main's low-mileage filly is hard to oppose stepping back up in grade. Exigency was only denied in the dying strides at Bath earlier in the week and should go well again, with the in-form Trabajo Detecho also expected to extend his good spell despite another rise in the weights.

Ex-French filly EXIGENCY ran a big race in defeat off today's mark over 1m on Wednesday and ought to be suited by this drop back to 7f.

Has form figures of 33312414 in 1m2f handicaps; set for another prominent finish.
LTO Selection:

17:05 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Mujid shaped as if this step up in trip would suit when scoring over 1m at Windsor but he appears susceptible to some better-treated rivals like LETABA. Ed Dunlop's charge appears the least exposed of these rivals and he can go one better than last time over 1m2f at Yarmouth off the same mark, while Havana Goldrush also deserves close inspection.

LETABA is going the right way and the bulk of his rivals are exposed, so he's worth a chance to go one better than when second at Yarmouth 3 days ago. Fellow 3-y-os Pink Lily and Al Hargah may emerge as the main dangers.

In a competitive race, preference is for FASCINATING LIPS who has not had a proper chance this year to show what he can do.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Downpatrick NH Flat Race 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Willie Mullins had had a couple of beaten favourites in bumpers in recent days but his strike-rate in these races is still awesome and UNCLE PAT looks a likely sort on pedigree. The Well Chosen gelding is a brother to smart jumpers Kylecrue and Adamantly Chosen and the latter was a bumper winner on debut. Nakatomi Plaza starts off for Gordon Elliott and is a Flat-bred son of Born To Sea. His half-sister was a Group 3 winner over six furlongs as a two-year-old. Of those that have run before, Kalanisi Flash makes most appeal. The dual point-to-point winner was runner-up at this venue in May and is probably better judged on that than a very disappointing effort at Kilbeggan a couple of weeks later.

This may develop into a straight fight between Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott newcomers UNCLE PAT and Nakatomi Plaza, with a narrow preference for the former before any market pointers. Kalanisi Flash is clear pick of those with experience.

Willie Mullins' strike-rate in bumpers has dipped a fraction but it's still pretty awesome and UNCLE PAT can be another winner for him

LTO Selection:

17:28 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

PREMIERSHIP made the perfect start for the Michael Wigham yard at Yarmouth recently and a 4lb rise for that success seems more than fair. The son of Mahsoob is fancied to land a third victory from his last four appearances, with Stintino Sunset appearing the biggest threat. The three-year-old enjoys a 5lb pull with the selection after finishing just over two lengths behind last time and is a likely player if seeing out this stiffer test. Storm Asset should appreciate the return to 1m2f and completes the shortlist.

STINTINO SUNSET has returned to form of late and, having finished runner-up on 2 of her 3 starts at this course, she is taken to open her account with the cheekpieces left off this time. Over this longer trip, the 3-y-o can reverse the form with Premiership from when the pair met at Yarmouth 12 days ago, with Storm Asset the pick of the remainder.

Premiership has three wins from four starts this term but STORM ASSET has won twice and, unlike Premiership, has proved his stamina.

(6) Adace 6/1, Ran one of season's better races when fourth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D (good) 20 days ago. On a career-low mark so she's capable of getting involved if on a going day.

LTO Selection:

17:35 Windsor Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

DEACS DELIGHT was a decent second last time over the extended 7f at Lingfield and he wouldn't have to improve too much to get his head in front, with Paul and Oliver Cole's charge running off the same mark. Lilandra arrives here on the back of a win over 1m at Bath in a classified event, but she may struggle to defy a 4lb rise for that head success, while Angel Of Antrim can also give a bold showing off this mark.

DEACS DELIGHT has remained in good form since opening his account in June, not seen to best effect when runner-up back at Lingfield last time, so he is taken to resume winning ways this time around. Lilandra arrives on the back of a win at Bath 18 days ago and is respected, while Calleveryoneuknow could still have more to offer.

Preference is for the 3yo CALLEVERYONEUKNOW following her improved show last time, when dropped back to this trip.

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.
