17:10 Ballinrobe Claimer 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Of those with ratings, HELIOGABALUS is clearly best in at the weights and can take advantage of a drop in class. Jessica Harrington's charge was placed on the all-weather on his final start at two and has run respectably in maidens won by useful sorts this term. A wide draw won't be too much of a drawback in this small field. Highly tried in his early juvenile starts, Saxon Kingdom showed more on his first start in handicap company at Leopardstown and should be competitive in a race of this nature, although the longer trip is not sure to suit. Romantic Samurai showed ability in two starts for Richard Hannon and could make an impact on his Irish debut.

HELIOGABALUS hasn't threatened in a couple of maidens this season but he showed plenty when third at Dundalk during the autumn and should prove hard to beat eased in grade here. Romantic Samurai has been absent for the best part of a year but he is nevertheless the most appealing candidate for forecast purposes. Tartaraghan is third choice.

With an official rating of 74 HELIOGABALUS has been put into this with a weight that gives him a good chance of a breakthrough win.

17:45 Ballinrobe Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

On his debut at Killarney, BABICH was touched off by a horse now rated 85, with a subsequent maiden winner back in third. Outclassed in a valuable contest at Gowran, Gavin Cromwell's gelding will appreciate coming back to maiden company and should be hard to beat if running close to the form of his first start. Joe Murphy does well here and fits cheekpieces on Victoria Kesia for the first time. The daughter of Territories has finished in front of subsequent maiden winners when placed on her last two starts and can race handily from a good draw. After missing the kick, Onlyinyourdreams came home well when fourth at Tipperary and may be suited by this longer trip.

It's easy to excuse BABICH's defeat in a warm race from a poor draw at Gowran a fortnight ago and given the promise of his debut, he's well worth another chance. Onlyinyourdreams and Prairie Angel are once-raced very likely improvers and are feared most, while support for a newcomer should also be noted.

Following a promising debut at Killarney, BABICH was given an ambitious run in a valuable Gowran event. She will be hard to beat here

18:15 Ballinrobe Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TIFFANY MAE gained a handicap mark running over shorter trips and has shown promise on her latest two starts. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly put up a creditable effort at Cork before again keeping on nicely at the finish over a mile at Gowran earlier this month to suggest this distance should suit. Solar Drive took advantage of a lowly initial rating when scoring over 1m4f at Cork and has filled the runner-up spot on both outings since but may not be as effective over this shorter distance. Dolce Far Niente needs to bounce back from a disappointing outing at Gowran.

SOLAR DRIVE is going the right way and can record his second career success. Tiffany Mae and Chou Chou should also give a good account.

Consistent in her last two starts over shorter when running on, TIFFANY MAE can make the breakthrough today raised in trip.

18:45 Ballinrobe Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SEE ME THROUGH has progressed well this season and made all for a decisive win at Killarney last month before coming up against the fast-improving Glor Tire at Gowran. Ross O'Sullivan's charge has gone up a combined 12lb for those latest two runs but could still be on an upward curve and the booking of Colin Keane gives further encouragement. River Derwent won three times at Dundalk last winter and again scored over 7f at Roscommon last month, while Laelaps showed improved form last time when beating all bar Carlo Bianconi at Sligo. True Statesman is another to consider on his fourth to Timourid at Leopardstown earlier this month.

BRAVE TROOP left the strong impression that this step back up in trip would serve him well when finishing mid-field at Roscommon where he got going too late. The 5-y-o gets the nod ahead of See Me Through, who has been in good heart of late and is feared with Colin Keane in the hot-seat. Pillar of Hope has slipped to a potentially handy mark and is worth considering, while Laelaps is also accorded respect.

Runner-to the much-improved Glor Tire at Gowran SEE ME THROUGH has sound prospects of adding to his previous Killarney win

(5) Mr Percy 9/4, Fair gelding. 10/1, second of 10 in maiden at Lyon La Soie (10.7f). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Vaclav Luka and not easy to weigh up that form but he's joined a powerful yard.

(7) Beauty's Star 22/1, Starspangledbanner filly. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 1¼m winner (stays 15.5f) John Leeper out of British/Irish Oaks winner Snow Fairy. Likeable pedigree but this a belated debut.
First foal out of a daughter of the top-class Snow Fairy, perhaps worth a market check.

19:15 Ballinrobe Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MR PERCY might be able to take this weak affair. Twice-raced in France, the four-year-old bay was bought by current connections for 48,000 euros at Arqana in November. Second when last seen at Lyon La Soie, he finished a place ahead of Treasured Soul, who reached a career-high mark of 78 when in the care of Ger Lyons. A rare runner on the level for James Dullea, Lord Raven is of definite interest. Out of a black-type mare, the Raven's Pass chestnut has two solid efforts to his name and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end in a contest of this quality. Beaten by just half a length in this very race 12 months ago, Expound has solid place claims, while Bridgehead and Gunsight (first-time blinkers) are others for the shortlist.

LORD RAVEN has displayed ability on both starts and with the prospect of more to come, he's awarded the vote in what is a trappy heat. Mr Percy is a fascinating contender starting out for Joseph O'Brien, with Expound also of interest.

The often-placed Expound has a leading chance but seems fully exposed and may be thwarted by Joseph O'Brien's import MR PERCY

19:50 Ballinrobe Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The in-foal HIDDEN LAND trounced the opposition over flights at Downpatrick recently and might follow up. The seven-year-old has already won twice on the level and could have a fruitful summer campaign before her retirement. Mayo For Sam is sure to prove popular with locals and appears to have solid claims after finishing fourth at Leopardstown. Charlie Luciano is another set to be turned out again quickly. Successful at Fairyhouse on his penultimate start, the Noel Meade-trained five-year-old was beaten into fourth at Down Royal on Saturday. A winner at Tipperary last month, Status Green is likely to have plenty of supporters, while others of note are Limerick runner-up Curious Bride and six-time winner Desert Friend.

CURIOUS BRIDE made a promising return from a break when second in a big field at Limerick 12 days ago and might be the way to go assuming this doesn't come too quick on her. Desert Friend, Mayo For Sam and last week's Downpatrick hurdle winner Hidden Land head the dangers.

DESERT FRIEND didn't get the clearest run behind Mayo For Sam last time and can turn around the form on 8lb better terms.

20:20 Ballinrobe Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A competitive affair to round off proceedings, with SUGAREE the suggestion. Successful on her third start last summer, she ran a nice race on her return to action and should strip fitter now. A winner at the Curragh on her penultimate outing, top-weight Fairytale Princess gets second preference. The Ger Lyons-trained four-year-old since finished down the field in a good-quality contest at the Co Kildare venue and should appreciate this drop in class. A case can be made for many others, with Ameerat Jumaira likely to appreciate the step up in trip. With 10 wins to her name, Effernock Fizz always warrants respect, while No Hassle, who beat the selection at Leopardstown, and the Gordon Elliott-trained Royal Eagle are others for the shortlist.

If AMEERAT JUMAIRA comes only a little for last month's Roscommon reappearance second she could prove the answer to a competitive finale. Joseph O'Brien's Sugaree is another who arrives on the back of a good comeback run and is second choice ahead of last-time-out scorers No Hassle and Influential Lady.

Keithen Kennedy's useful 7lb claim makes ROYAL EAGLE an interesting contender on her return to the Flat after a spell hurdling

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.
