16:45 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

2.5/1 (10) LUCID DREAMS Late starter and 8/1 (13) MEN OF DREAMS are the two most promising horses based on their recent performances and potential to improve. 12/1 (1) EMERIC is also worth considering as a progressive AW performer making his hurdles debut. The others have either shown little promise or have too much to prove to be considered strong contenders.

LAELAPS will need to settle better than on his hurdling debut at Naas in February but has a leading chance if doing so. The Andrew McNamara-trained gelding boasts some smart form on the level, having attained a triple digit handicap mark at one stage. He showed enough on his initial outing over flights to suggest he can be a force in this company. Lucid Dreams shaped well on his racecourse debut at Fakenham in March but was slightly disappointing at this track last time. The eight-year-old reverts to hurdles now having run in a bumper most recently. Trainer John Ryan is always a man to respect at this particular venue. Men Of Dreams took a major step forward when third on his hurdling debut at Kilbeggan last month. A reproduction of that effort would see the Johnny Levins-trained gelding play a leading role.

The market can reveal plenty but LUCID DREAMS has shown enough when second on her hurdling bow and when a recent bumper third here to suggest she can open her account. Kilbeggan-third Men of Dreams and hurdling-newcomer Emeric could emerge as the chief threats to the selection in a very open contest.

Back on better ground it may pay to keep the faith with STAR HARBOUR, whose Leopardstown third looks just about the best form on offer

17:18 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The prediction is that 0.53/1 (5) BANNTOWN GIRL will do well, as she has had recent success and is considered the favorite. 3/1 (6) CONYERS HILL also shows promise and should progress, but 0.53/1 (5) BANNTOWN GIRL is considered the one to beat. The other horses have either not shown much ability or are newcomers without much to judge them on.

Given her excellent form over hurdles in seven starts to date, it is hard to believe that BANNTOWN GIRL is still a maiden in this discipline. The Sonny Carey-trained mare, who has been placed at Listed level, finished third in a Grade B handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival and was second to a subsequent Punchestown winner last time. It will be a surprise if she can't get her head in front here. Conyers Hill has finished third on his first two starts for present connections so has to enter calculations. He will need to improve in order to beat Banntown Girl but the five-year-old hasn't been with Paul Nolan all that long. Marciano made a satisfactory racecourse debut when fifth behind Conyers Hill at Clonmel but has more scope for improvement than the O'Grady horse.

BANNTOWN GIRL let favourite backers down here last time but has the best form and gets one more chance. Conyers Hill is shaping up nicely and can give the selection most to do ahead of Marciano, who showed promise when fifth on last month's Clonmel debut.

Second in a similar mares' event last month to a subsequent Punchestown festival winner, BANNTOWN GIRL can go one better here

17:48 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, McGrath From Clune and 6.5/1 (12) TAKE MY HAND are the most likely contenders, with 7/1 (5) HARD RAIN and 7.5/1 (4) BALLINLOUGH GALE also having strong claims. 10/1 (2) CAN'T STOP SMILING is a promising sort to consider on handicap debut, while 20/1 (10) PEACE PARTY has a good record around here and could make an impact. The reserves, 25/1 (11) PRESENTING LAD, 33/1 (18) FORGE ROAD, and 50/1 (16) OSKAR HIGH, are unlikely to pose a serious threat to the top runners.

RUN LIKE FADA could be primed for this contest having finished a close up third in the corresponding race last season. Although the Eoin McCarthy-trained gelding failed to win in four subsequent outings, he did run well when second on his next start. Perhaps, he is one who is best caught fresh. McGrath From Clune seems sure to go well, having finished runner-up at Cork last time. Shane Fenelon renews the partnership on this occasion and that has to be a huge positive in a race of this nature. Can't Stop Smiling caught the eye here in a maiden hurdle last August and should be sharper now having had an outing at Naas in March. If the Aidan Howard-trained mare isn't let down by inexperience, then she is a serious threat to all.

This can go to MCGRATH FROM CLUNE, who took his form up a notch when runner-up at Cork last month and still looks on a handy mark. Can't Stop Smiling and Take My Hand should also go well.

An open handicap in which TAKE MY HAND gets the nod ahead of McGrath From Clune on account of her proven ability on the ground

18:18 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse with the best chance of performing well would be 2/1 (13) SHOWURAPPRECIATION. This is because it has shown improved form in its last race, and is significantly up in trip which should suit its style of running. The other horses either have inconsistent form, are unproven in this distance, or have shown little promise in their past races.

SHOWURAPPRECIATION who was well punted when a staying on third at Gowran Park in March should enjoy the step up in trip here. The Jonathan Sweeney-trained gelding seemed to find the minimum trip too sharp on that occasion but stuck to his task well in the straight. Although this sharper track may not play to his strengths, his ability might see him home in front. Friends N Commerce has been a consistent sort in both maiden and handicaps of late although he is surely vulnerable off a rating of 111. Having said that, he seems adaptable tripwise and shouldn't have any issues with this track. San Martino has been gradually getting his act together over flights so it would be no surprise to see this one-time smart Flat horse take a hand in the finish.

This step up in trip is likely to unlock improvement in SHOWURAPPRECIATION, who was doing his best work at the finish when third in a big-field over 2m at Gowran last time. He is marginally preferred to Friends N Commerce, who deserves to pick up a race and is likely to make a bold bid to shed his maiden tag here. Easy Fella is best of the rest, though Trackman Tommy is also worth a second look.

FRIENDS N COMMERCE has run to his mark in handicaps of late and was 3.25l ahead of Easy Fella in a Limerick maiden the time before.

18:48 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 11/1 (12) BUGSCUFFLE and 11/1 (7) MAGNETIC NORTH seem like strong contenders as they have shown recent ability in handicap hurdles and are not out of it. 4.5/1 (3) EVERYSTEP OFTHEWAY and 8.5/1 (9) COSMO RENFRO also have potential, with 4.5/1 (3) EVERYSTEP OFTHEWAY placing third in a recent handicap hurdle and 8.5/1 (9) COSMO RENFRO having a decent run on their handicap debut. It will be interesting to see if the money comes in for 4/1 (5) GETAWAY TRAIN again, but their recent showing of mucus at the nostrils post-race could be a cause for concern. The other horses are either reserves or have not shown recent form that suggests they will do well in this race.

A wide-open contest, with point-to-point winner GETAWAY TRAIN given the chance to redeem himself. The subject of a gamble at Clonmel in February, he failed to fire there and was later reported to have mucus in his nostrils post-race. A case can be made for many others with Everystep Oftheway likely to prove a popular choice. A fine third of 23 at Naas on his most recent start, he is fitted with cheekpieces for the first time now. Chelseas Friend has a course win to her name and can make her presence felt, while first reserve Glenmalure Lodge would be a threat to all if getting a run. A five-time winner on the level, Magnetic North is an interesting contender on what will be his handicap debut over flights. Will It Be You is trained by the shrewd Liam Cusack and is out of a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Nil Desperandum. The Court Cave gelding is surely better than what he has shown to date, and it'll come as little surprise if he attracts support in the market.

HANOI JANE has races in her for sure and looks the way to go after another eye-catching effort at Limerick. Everystep Oftheway and Bugscuffle are feared most.

HANOI JANE was a disappointing favourite on soft at Limerick last time but could leave that behind on this better ground.

19:18 Ballinrobe Maiden Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

0.73/1 (3) HERCULE DU SEUIL is likely to do well based on the fact that he has a smart form over hurdles and has won 3 out of 4 starts this season, including a Grade 2 race. Additionally, he is making his chase debut, which could potentially work to his advantage as he may be able to transition well to chasing.

This looks a match between two of the three JP McManus-owned contenders, with marginal preference for ROSEYS HOLLOW, who is in receipt of a mares' allowance. A Grade 3 winner over flights, the selection has some good efforts to her name since switching to the larger obstacles. She finished a place ahead of Instit on her most recent start at Cork, with that one since winning twice, finishing a clear second to Impervious at Punchestown on Friday last. Hercule Du Seuil has three wins to his name from six career starts and is likely to go off a warm order favourite. Successful in Grade 2 company at Fairyhouse on Easter Sunday, he starts off over fences now and is sure to be well-schooled for this assignment. Senecia and Hamundarson are others that warrants respect. The former ran much better than the bare result would suggest when fifth in a good quality contest at Cork in December.

HAMUNDARSON made an encouraging debut in this sphere after 14 months off when runner-up at Leopardstown just over 8 weeks ago, and with further progress on the cards, Gordon Elliott's charge can open his account second time up. Hercule du Seuil has enjoyed a fine season over hurdles so he may emerge as the main danger on chasing debut, with Roseys Hollow third on the shortlist.

Given a clear round HERCULE DU SEUIL should prove very hard to catch around here on chasing debut

19:48 Ballinrobe Handicap Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse with the best chance of doing well appears to be 2.5/1 (6) BATTLE OF MIRBAT. The horse has been consistently performing well, with a solid run behind an improving mare at Limerick last time and a creditable second in a handicap chase at Limerick 37 days ago. The booking of McDonagh is seen as a plus, and the horse is expected to go well again. Other horses that could do well include 3/1 (4) PATS CHOICE, 6.5/1 (10) WEST BREEZE, and 9/1 (8) SCALOR.

The most valuable race of the evening, with BATTLE OF MIRBAT the suggestion for the grandfather, grandson combination of Michael and Mark McDonagh. An easy winner on his handicap debut at Leopardstown, he since finished second at Limerick. Queen Jane won that Greenmount Park contest and she gave the form a boost at Punchestown, falling at the last when still in with every chance. Golden Sandbanks is given second preference with Kieran Callaghan taking a valuable 7lb off. A four-time winner last year, the Paul Flynn trained-gelding has yet to finish outside the first two in three starts over fences. Pat's Choice is a consistent performer and can make his presence felt, while others that warrant respect are West Breeze and course winners Union Park and Red Striker.

Off the mark at Leopardstown on his penultimate start, BATTLE OF MIRBAT ran at least as well in defeat behind another progressive sort at Limerick in March and, with his rider taking off a handy 5 lb, he could well be the answer here. Pats Choice arrives in form and is feared, along with the returning Red Striker, who remains open to improvement in this sphere.

Having run as well as could be expected last time behind Punchestown big race winner Dinoblue, PATS CHOICE can score down in class.

20:18 Ballinrobe NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, some horses that are worth noting and may be in the mix are 1.38/1 (9) READIN TOMMY WRONG, 1.75/1 (1) ANY ROAD, and 40/1 (11) ZOLPHARINE. 1.38/1 (9) READIN TOMMY WRONG has a strong point-to-point record and is a rules debutant from a leading stable. 1.75/1 (1) ANY ROAD has been performing creditably in recent bumpers and was only beaten by 3 lengths in a strong race at Cork. 40/1 (11) ZOLPHARINE is a newcomer by a top sire and comes from a strong breeding line. However, as with all horse racing, there are many factors that could affect the outcome, and it ultimately depends on the performance on the day.

ANY ROAD should be able to put his experience to good use. The Walk In The Park gelding has come up against some useful types on his five previous starts, going down by just half a length at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. Second at Cork on his most recent outing, he was seven lengths clear of Backtonormal in third, with that one since successful on his next start. Fresh from his Bishopscourt Cup success at the Punchestown Festival, Pat Taaffe takes the ride on the selection and claims a valuable 7lb. Readin Tommy Wrong is an obvious danger in the famous double green silks of Simon Munir and Isaac Souede. From the family of Quito De La Roque and Kazal, he finished second on debut in a point-to-point at Bellharbour in February of last year. Making his debut for Willie Mullins now, the Authorized gelding is likely to go off favourite. Arabian Diamond was sixth of 25 on debut over flights at Fairyhouse and he warrants the utmost respect coming from the Gordon Elliott yard. Get It Right and Master Player are others that look capable of making an impact.

ANY ROAD has shown more than enough to think a race of this nature is within his grasp and, having finished runner-up at Cork on his latest outing weeks ago, he's fancied to go one place better. Readin Tommy Wrong is an appealing Rules newcomer for the all-conquering Mullins' stable and he's respected, with Master Player completing the shortlist.

Readin Tommy Wrong has to be respected but ANY ROAD(nap) has rock-solid credentials, especially on the form of his Cork second.

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.
