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

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

FILS D'OUDAIRIES fell over fences at Killarney but is a dependable 145-rated hurdler who is holding form. Beaten by storied UK handicapper Langer Dan in a valuable Ascot hurdle in 2022, he was beaten 3.3 lengths by Cash Back at Cork last month but is now 7lb better off and indeed subsequently reversed that form at Punchestown in April. Cash Back disappointed in that Punchestown race and has obvious claims on best form, but is an 11 year old. Off You Go's last win was in the 2021 Leopardstown Chase and while capable and suited by good ground, is long absent and would prefer further. Enfranchise was rated 91 on the flat in the UK and while she showed promise when well held in two recent Listed hurdles, has plenty on her plate again today. Fighter Allen is on a confidence-seeking mission on reappearance run over an inadequate distance.

A trappy event that could go to FILS D'OUDAIRIES if he's none the worse after a crashing fall over fences at Killarney. Cash Back is feared most.

Confirmed front-runner CASH BACK could get his own way in the lead in this and be difficult to catch.

17:00 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AN MHI runs in a first-time tongue-tie on reappearance but drops markedly in grade, having bumped into high-class rivals last season. Beaten by Facile Vega in December, he ran well behind Gaelic Warrior in a valuable handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival and a reproduction could prove good enough. Dual bumper winner Misty's Gift is race-fit and ran well in a first-time tongue-tie at Tipperary but cheekpieces are now applied and has 15lb to find with the selection on adjusted ratings. Workforadime has bits of form and having caught the eye when meeting traffic at Kilbeggan recently, could sneak a placing. Johnny Cigar has ability and while he travelled well for much of the way at Tipperary recently, ultimately pulled up and now runs in a first-time tongue-tie.

AN MHI wasn't disgraced off a stiff-looking mark in a hot handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival and can open his account with his sights lowered again here. Misty's Gift and Workforadime are feared.

Very few of these look up to winning a maiden. AN MHI ran respectably in Gaelic Warrior's handicap at the Dublin Racing Festival.

TROUBLED TIMES was a Listed bumper winner and can continue to make use of a favourable handicap rating. She is 9lb higher than when winning at at Cork recently but could be suited by today's extra distance and likes a sound surface. Lady Rita did well in the circumstances to finish 21 lengths fourth at Kilbeggan, where her rider misjudged the number of circuits. She also blundered badly at the third-last but still managed to beat today's rivals The Little Yank and Run For Pat. Prince Zaltar competes from a career high mark having won at Killarney but is thoroughly progressive and likes good ground. Merlin Giant is trip-versatile but concedes plenty weight while Ambitious Fellow should improve significantly from seasonal reappearance and likes good ground and this distance. Dollar Value was unsuited by soft on recent flat runs but is capable over hurdles on good ground. Power Of Pause needs to return to form while veteran Gold Speed has been running well and steps up in distance. Fruit Blossom steps up in grade following her Wexford win.

TROUBLED TIMES is a mare on the up and from a very fair-looking mark with the promise of more to come, she is the most persuasive option. Lady Rita ran well under the circumstances at Kilbeggan last time and needs treating as though still in top form, with Fruit Blossom completing the shortlist.

The suggestion is GOLD SPEED, who is worth a try over this far and especially under master tactician Denis O'Regan.

This is a strong beginners chase for the time of year and BALLYADAM gets the vote. The Henry de Bromhead-trained gelding, arguably the pick of these over hurdles, was bought for big money by Cheveley Park after winning his point-to-point in good style. He won the Grade 1 Royal Bond Novice Hurdle back in 2020 and while failing to score since, has performed with credit in valuable handicaps of a mark in the high 140s. Hercule Du Seuil had Hamundarson well behind when runner-up to Senecia on his chasing debut over C&D earlier this month. Willie Mullins has another contender in Winter Fog, a facile winner of a handicap hurdle at the Leopardstown Christmas meeting. Galore Desassences was also decent over hurdles but didn't jump well when switched to fences at Wexford last time.

BALLYADAM is on a lengthy losing run but he's a smart sort and is fancied to leave his previous form over the larger obstacles behind. Hercule du Seuil is sure to have derived plenty from his opening chase effort, with stablemate Winter Fog another to consider.

Hercule Du Seuil will be well fancied but BALLYADAM can take his measure on his third chasing start.

HISTORY OF FASHION won in good style at Down Royal early last year and has returned to form after dropping back down to a similar mark this spring. He beat all bar Espanito Bello in the Leinster National at Naas and again put in his best work at the finish when third to Aione over 3m1f at the Punchestown Festival. Life In The Park caught the eye on his reappearance when third to Thedevilscoachman in a Grade 3 novice at Limerick and again made the frame in a valuable handicap at the Punchestown Festival with Tullybeg back in fifth. Ilikedwayurthinkin and Peregrine Run filled the minor places in this race 12 months ago and should play a prominent role again.

LIFE IN THE PARK shaped well when third in a competitive novice handicap at the Punchestown Festival and is taken to build on that and prove too strong for these largely more exposed rivals. History of Fashion and Snugsborough Benny are others who arrive on the back of good runs at Punchestown and head the dangers along with the returning Peregrine Run, who was in excellent form when last seen in the autumn.

Gavin Cromwell's ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN (nap) did well to finish second in this last year after an early mistake had him on the back foot.

CHARLIE STOUT has been generally consistent this year and gained a sixth career win on his penultimate start in a similar event at Wexford with Cusp Of Carabelli back in fourth. His second to Stumptown at Thurles is also a decent piece of form in the context of this race and he remains on a competitive mark with Kieran Callaghan claiming 7lb. The Echo Boy appreciated the drop back to this trip when scoring at Kilbeggan earlier this month but now races off a career high mark. Pakens Rock, a four-time winner at Galway, was off the track for nearly two years before returning last winter and gave some encouragement last time when keeping on into third behind Say It Ain't So at this venue.

THE ECHO BOY had a bit to spare over a next-time-out hurdle winner at Kilbeggan last time and an 8 lb rise may not prevent him following up. Charlie Stout backed up his Wexford win in March when fourth at Fairyhouse over Easter and is second choice ahead of Pakens Rock.

Though hit with an 8lb rise for his Kilbeggan win, THE ECHO BOY has the assistance of a fine 5lb claimer today and can score.

MYSTICAL POWER represents the champion trainer and really catches the eye on pedigree. The son of Galileo, who is owned in partnership by JP McManus, Sue Magnier and Susannah Ricci, is the first foal out of the great Annie Power who was unbeaten in three bumper starts and enjoyed her finest hour in the 2016 Champion Hurdle. It will be interesting to see how strong he is in the market while Faux Fur, Fort Randall and Garnacho are other newcomers to consider. The latter cost 46,000 at Tattersalls Ireland last summer. Perfect Nelson had Paddy Elvis and Royal Noble behind when runner-up to Ossie's Lodge at Down Royal earlier this month and Rob James claims a valuable 7lb.

MYSTICAL POWER is out of the fantastic mare Annie Power and represents the same stable, so he's more than likely to make a successful start in a very winnable affair. Faux Fur is another notable newcomer for a top yard and Perfect Nelson is the best of those with form.

All eyes on MYSTICAL POWER, a son of Galileo and the first foal out of Champion Hurdle heroine Annie Power. That's some pedigree.

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.
