17:00 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BALLYSTONE already has jumping experience from a run in a point-to-point and may be able to get off the mark now switching to hurdles. The Shirocco gelding has been placed twice in three bumper runs and was only denied by a head at Cork last month. That was a big run as he was only collared close home by a decent yardstick in Will Do. Sherodan could be a danger but returns from a long absence. The Hillstar gelding won on debut at Tipperary in July 2021 before chasing home a smart sort in Level Neverending at Killarney the following month. Seasett was a decent sort on the Flat in England, achieving a career high mark of 88 and is one to note on his hurdling debut.

Very likely to go to a hurdling newcomer, with BALLYSTONE, who ran to a high figure when second in a bumper last month, preferred in favour of Sherodan and British Flat recruit Seasett.

Switching to hurdles should be no issue for point runner-up BALLYSTONE who ran so well in his latest bumper.

RING O ROSES may be able to gain compensation here after a narrow defeat at Downpatrick last time. The Flemensfirth mare ran a nice race when third on debut at Navan and was a short enough price to open her account on her return from a short break earlier this month. After a mistake at the last she was collared close home and lost out by the narrowest of margins. She doesn't need to improve much to score now. Estepona Sun could be a danger after a good run to finish third on his return at Clonmel recently. The Last Mardi makes his reappearance having last been seen at Galway in September and is another for the shortlist. He was a dual bumper winner last year and showed a nice bit in two outings over timber.

The fact RING O ROSES has had a recent outing tips things in her favour over The Last Mardi, who hasn't been seen since finishing fifth at Galway in September. Lazer Wolf and Estepona Sun should get involved in the battle for minor honours in a race where it's hard to make a case for many.

The mare RING O ROSES appeals as the best option after running well in both her races and the form at Downpatrick last time is okay.

This looks like a nice stepping stone for CUSTOM OF THE SEA after an impressive winning debut at Killarney 16 days ago. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding asserted in good style going to the last on his racecourse bow and looked open to plenty of improvement then having made a couple of slight errors in the closing stages. Your Honor sets the standard off a mark of 120 and has to be respected. He was outclassed in Grade 1 company at Punchestown last time but had run a solid race in handicap company previously off a pound higher mark. Media Naranja also ran well in handicap company last time, when third at Cheltenham last month, and is another that has to come into calculations.

Three in with a chance here and it's CUSTOM OF THE SEA who receives the vote having created a very favourable impression when making a winning debut at Killarney a fortnight ago. Media Naranja and Your Honor are feared most, in that order.

Though CUSTOM OF THE SEA must have been fairly wound up to win at Killarney on debut, there is surely improvement to come.

Course form here is always a bonus and CAN'T STOP SMILING may be able to defy a 13lb hike for her wide-margin success here at the start of the month. The Walk In The Park mare stretched clear to win by 12 lengths on her handicap debut and there looks more to come from the unexposed five-year-old. This is a competitive contest and Gordon Elliott saddles two last time out winners. Calico has really found the winning thread now having been frustrating and she could be nicely treated with Danny Gilligan taking 7lb off her back. Stablemate Royal Eagle won well at Kilbeggan recently and is another for the shortlist.

Preference is for ROYAL EAGLE, who resumed her progress when scoring at Kilbeggan earlier this month and remains low mileage over hurdles. Can't Stop Smiling and Calico head the list of dangers.

Though CAN'T STOP SMILING is 13lb higher than for her easy C&D win last time, she could well defy that rise.

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

WE'LLHAVEWAN may be able to make the most of his lower hurdles mark in this. Willie Mullins' charge was beaten favourite when last seen at Fairyhouse in November but that was on testing ground and this sounder surface should be more to his liking now. The Imperial Monarch gelding won over fences on his first outing for the champion trainer and is rated 11lb higher over the larger obstacles. Mitiva was well beaten when sent off favourite in a maiden hurdle at Gowran on her last outing but may appreciate nicer ground now and could be well treated on her handicap debut, judged on previous form. Ballinlough Gale was third behind easy winner Can't Stop Smiling here last time and off the same mark has place prospects again.

There was plenty of promise in ATLANTIC WONDER's reappearance effort at Down Royal and he could be the answer if able to build on that here. Next on the list is The Toothpicker, who should be all the better for his comeback spin at Cork and this 6-y-o is lurking on a decent mark. Mitiva is of strong interest now handicapping and is shortlisted, along with the Willie Mullins-trained We'llhavewan and likely improvers Eighty Eight and Solitary Man.

A few with chances in a competitive handicap but MITIVA might be the answer now sent into handicaps.

ARCTIC AMBITION was value for a bit more than his winning margin at Limerick recently and can follow up here. Danny Gilligan gave his mount a confident ride last time and he flew the last to record a cosy three-parts-of-a-length win over Tilloughna. The front pair pulled well clear of the field then. This doesn't look a particularly strong race now. Glenmalure Lodge would appear an obvious danger having run well to chase home Bugscuffle here earlier in the month. She only got a couple of pounds for that run. Aliunde has ran solid races on his last couple of outings and is another that has to be considered.

ARCTIC AMBITION boasts a good strike rate over fences and opened his account at the twelfth attempt in this sphere at Limerick just four days ago. He is now 2-3 under Danny Gilligan and, provided that this doesn't come too soon, the 8-y-o should prove very hard to beat under a penalty. Glenmalure Lodge remains winless following 17 attempts over hurdles but she's a live each-way player on the back of a solid effort here. Aliunde, Portland Row and Silverstrand are others with each-way claims.

Gordon Elliott looks to strike while the iron is hot with ARCTIC AMBITION (nap) after he exploited his lower hurdle mark last Friday.

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

BUGSCUFFLE was a good winner over slightly shorter here earlier in the month and this looks a good opportunity to secure a follow-up win. The September Storm gelding went up 7lb for that success, his third outing for Andrew McNamara, but still looks on a competitive mark in an ordinary event. Gold Haven looks a danger. She ran well in more competitive events at Navan early in the year and her trainer Paul Flynn has his team in fine form. Duffys Getaway didn't run too badly when fourth down in Cork last time and could be place material in this.

DUFFYS GETAWAY has been given a chance by the handicapper and posted his best effort over hurdles when fourth at Cork earlier this month. He gets the nod in an open-looking contest. Bugscuffle and Iridescent should also go well.

Provided a three-month break doesn't stall her progress then GOLD HAVEN should run well after an encouraging start for Paul Flynn.

DR EGGMAN looks the one they have to beat in this. The Saint Des Saints gelding comes here off the back of a good run to finish third in a strong contest at Punchestown last month. He has been third on both starts now and looks to be facing an easier task now. Arabian Diamond chased home another Willie Mullins-trained runner in Readin Tommy Wrong here earlier in the month and should be thereabouts but could be bumping into a useful sort again. Intense Approach cost £210,000 after winning a point-to-point at Farmacaffley in February and he looks one to note on his first outing for John McConnell.

DR EGGMAN has been placed in good bumpers at Fairyhouse and Punchestown this spring and will likely be hard to beat unless the betting speaks strongly in the favour of expensive point recruit Intense Approach. Gordon Elliott's Arabian Diamond is best of the remainder.

It is difficult to oppose DR EGGMAN after a solid comeback run at Punchestown, with improvement likely too.

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.
