16:30 Ballinrobe Conditions Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Willie Mullins has landed three of the last five renewals of this race and WINTER FOG looks another prime contender. He is advantaged by these weights with Kieran Callaghan's claim factored in. This trip and ground shouldn't inconvenience him, and he has four victories over flights in his locker. No Looking Back has faced some stiff tasks in Grade 1 company, but is more than capable of making an impact in this company as shown by a runner-up berth in a Grade 3 novice hurdle at Naas last year. Beacon Edge ran a stormer when just pipped on the line at the Punchestown Festival. He would prefer a longer trip, though, and plenty of rain.

Probably a match between WINTER FOG and Beacon Edge, with the first-named just preferred for Willie Mullins.

BEACON EDGE has run two fine races in defeat lately and should have a fitness advantage so just gets the nod over Winter Fog.

17:00 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FIND A FORTUNE has put together a sequence of '2232' in maiden hurdles, so wouldn't be winning out of turn. Perhaps this trip can see him home as he has been racing over further in his last three outings. Churchroad Prince has to rate a danger back at this trip. His best performance to date came when he was beaten by a neck over an extended 2m7f at Punchestown in January. Former point-to-point winner Marv Michael has been placed twice over hurdles and very testing ground didn't appear to suit him in Limerick. Talk In The Park represents an in-form stable while Kerlogue is one of the more interesting hurdling debutants.

Having finished runner-up on his hurdling debut back in January, CHURCHROAD PRINCE is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Find A Fortune, who kept up his run of placings at Cork recently and may have to settle for a silver for a fourth time in this sphere. Talk In The Park can edge out Marv Michael for third in what looks a weak maiden.

As far as reliability goes Find A Fortune wins this hands down but CHURCHROAD PRINCE could have slightly better battling qualities

17:30 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A very competitive race. WESTERN WALK's close fourth in a higher grade at Punchestown entitles him to plenty of respect. He has winning form over further which will stand to him if this turns into a battle. There is one of these good pots in West Is Awake and he represents a shrewd stable. Champion conditional Danny Gilligan's 3lb claim is a bonus. Given the form of Gavin Cromwell and Keith Donoghue, Toto Too merits a second look. This is a marked step up in trip for him, but he has a decent win ratio. Winning Smut, Brampton Belle and Junior Rattler add further spice to the mix.

WESTERN WALK resumed progress when fourth in a more competitive race than this at Punchestown last time and he's still not fully exposed, so he's preferred to last-time-out winner Junior Rattler in an open-looking contest. Winning Smut is also of interest.

Western Walk and Junior Rattler are big dangers but BRAMPTON BELLE is given the nod to exploit her unexposed edge at this game.

18:00 Ballinrobe Maiden Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ZENTA is taken to bounce back from a below-par effort at this track three weeks ago. She was a Grade 1 winner over flights on her way to a rating of 145, so there should be plenty more to come from her in this discipline. She has only had two runs over fences, so there is time for her to put it all together. Mighty Tom's hurdle mark wasn't far off Zenta and he has been highly tried over fences. He ought to appreciate this company. Walk In The Park mare Splashing Out has been generally consistent over hurdles and should have a future at steeplechasing, while Extrapolation and Hypotenus can get in the mix.

MIGHTY TOM made a decent fist of things in a listed handicap chase at Punchestown and can take this maiden. Zenta is the obvious danger despite flopping here 3 weeks ago.

Zenta and MIGHTY TOM set the standard, with youth versus maturity on the line, and on this occasion the 9yo is preferred

18:30 Ballinrobe Handicap Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AIME DESJY will be suited by the forecast rain and has form in smart handicap chases. A course bumper winner, his chasing ability seems better than his hurdling form and having run well in the 24-runner Topham Chase at Aintree, again ran well in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown. He stays well and has a nice weight. Top weight Salvador Ziggy's rider claims 7lb and while he pulled up the hot National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham festival, had previously finished second in September's Kerry National. He goes on summer soft but would ideally prefer good. Ex-hunter chaser Romeo Magico debuts in handicaps wearing a first-time hood and can compete from a low weight.

ROMEO MAGICO has done well in hunter chases this spring and looks a very interesting recruit to the handicap ranks for Emmet Mullins. Rachael Blackmore has been booked and this unexposed 6-y-o can see off a strong Gordon Elliott contingent, headed by last year's winner Tullybeg and Frontal Assault. Recent Killarney National runner-up Stealthy Tom completes the shortlist.

Last year's winner TULLYBEG looks to have been targetted at a repeat and that planning can come off, though rain wouldn't help.

19:00 Ballinrobe Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JACKSONS GOLD is a 10-year-old maiden fourth-season novice chaser but, almost contradictory, appears unexposed and well handicapped. Some of his early hurdling form was good, defeating Easter's Irish National fourth Frontal Assault to win at Thurles in 2020 while his recent chase form is also strong. In March he finished third to high-class Tactical Move and conceded weight to the useful runner-up, while at Tipperary in April he chased home Pinkerton, which subsequently won at the Punchestown festival. Bythesametoken drops in grade from the Aintree festival last month and while he isn't ahead of the handicapper and steps up slightly in distance,, had good form last year. Last year's winner Whatsafellatodo should strip fitter following a recent encouraging reappearance course run.

WHATSAFELLATODO and Jacksons Gold could be the pair to concentrate on, with marginal preference for the former who landed this race 12 months ago and should come on for his reappearance spin here 20 days ago. Bythesametoken is best of the rest.

Jacksons Gold has another nice opportunity, but WHATSAFELLTODO (nap) should come on plenty from his recent run and can collect

19:30 Ballinrobe NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAN FRANCO is a half-brother to her yard's Grade 2 bumper winner Santa Rossa and encouragingly debuts aged four. From the second crop of his late sire, his trainer has a useful 14 percent strike-rate in bumpers and today's capable rider claims 7lb. Kalix Delabarriere is by Vauban's sire, was a 90,000-euros store purchase last June and represents last year's winning trainer and jockey (with Mystical Power). Out of a five-time Listed-placed miler, he too could be smart. Paddy Twomey has his first NH runner since March 2020 with Seo Linn, which makes a somewhat belated debut at a staying distance for a Flat-bred filly. She is a half-sister to nine winners, including an Italian Derby runner-up.

KALIX DELABARRIERE makes obvious appeal on paper for his top stable that have taken this twice in recent years and he can make a winning start. Tonaghneave Well can improve after his Down Royal run, while Seo Linn is another interesting newcomer.

Preference is for SEO LINN, a rare runner in this sphere for Paddy Twomey and she is likely to be well primed.

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.
