LTO Selection:

17:20 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHOW NO FEAR improved for the fitting of cheekpieces when second to a useful-looking sort at Killarney. He isn't as highly rated on the Flat as some of these rivals but may develop into a better hurdler. The Churchill gelding was sixth on hurdling debut at Tipperary and may be capable of turning around the form with runner-up Doctor Nightingale. The latter was sent off favourite then and went down by only half a length so has to be considered despite a poor run on the Flat at Galway since. Our Boy Wes ran well over 1m6f in a Galway handicap and is a hurdling debutant to note along with Golden Temple who was touched off in a 1m4f maiden at Fairyhouse in June.

Stamina is no concern for OUR BOY WES and sure to be well prepared for this hurdles debut, he's selected to make the perfect start at the chief expense of Doctor Nightingale and Show No Fear.

Having shown improvement in cheekpieces at Killarney, SHOW NO FEAR is chosen to turn around Tipperary form with Doctor Nightingale

LTO Selection:

17:50 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHERODAN will take plenty of beating here for the in-form Peter Fahey yard. A bumper winner at Tipperary two years ago, he missed a long time before returning to finish second here in May on hurdling debut and bettered that when again finding only one too good in a Listed novice contest at the Galway festival. The fifth in that race easily won a maiden later in the week at Ballybrit. Four Clean Aces is two from two in bumpers and her more recent success at Punchestown was more emphatic than her debut win over 2m4f at Tipperary. She's an exciting prospect but the selection's jumping experience may prove crucial. Fermoyle has some decent Flat and bumper form and was an encouraging second on hurdles debut at Punchestown.

FOUR CLEAN ACES won both her starts in bumpers and given the yard she represents, a winning hurdles debut looks firmly on the cards. Sherodan and Fermoyle should ensure the selection doesn't have it all her own way.

Not many to consider. Heading the shortlist is SHERODAN (nap), whose second in a Listed race at Galway sets the bar high.

LTO Selection:

18:20 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ONLY ONE PLAN had been knocking on the door before making the breakthrough at Roscommon in June where he got the better of Presenting Lad. He's 4lb better off with that rival on this occasion and ran a cracker over course and distance last month when chasing home a class-dropper who had finished second in a Galway Hurdle a few years ago. Owned by Ballinrobe businessman Michale Cawe, he can go one place better despite a 3lb higher mark. Old rival Presenting Lad gained revenge on the selection when gaining his second win at Roscommon last month. Placed in both starts since, he may be a touch high in the weights now but can give a good account of himself again. Miss Arccol was a winner at Cork two years ago and was returning from a very long absence when running creditably at the same track last month. It's interesting that connections have persevered with her and she should be a lot sharper with that comeback run under her belt.

PRESENTING LAD has been in top form all summer, recording another placed effort at Cork a week ago and everything looks in place for another bold bid. Charcor and Only One Plan are a couple of potential threats.

A few of these are closely matched, such as Presenting Lad, Charcor\p and ONLY ONE PLAN. The latter edges preference.

18:50 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JOHANNA YEATS hinted that she may be about to hit form when sixth over further at this track last month. Now dropped back to the minimum trip at which she won over course and distance in April 2022, the Brendan Walsh-trained mare can record a second career success. Got Grey, a winner on the flat when trained in France, shaped well enough on his two most recent runs over hurdles to suggest there is a race in him. The Gavin Cromwell-trained four-year-old will get few easier opportunities than this low grade contest. Charle Brune is interesting on his first run back for his former trainer, Tom Shanahan. The veteran has dropped down below his last winning mark, so if the return to familiar surroundings has rekindled his enthusiasm then he could be involved.

Martin Brassil's IL SILENZO appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps so he gets the vote in a very open-looking contest. Fellow handicap debutant Old Lonesome Me is another who can take a step forward and enters calculations along with the handily-weighted Light Parade.

A minefield but GOT GREY would probably have been placed on his penultimate start had he not come down late on.

LTO Selection:

19:20 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 26f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE ABBEY reverts to flights for the first time since October and might be able to take advantage of a much lower mark. Twice successful in May, he is rated 17lb higher over the larger obstacles. The Dabbler and Fairyhill Run also switch to hurdles and both have solid claims, with the latter fourth in the Mayo National on his most recent visit to Ballinrobe. A case can be made for many others in this competitive affair, with Dorans River bidding to complete what would be a remarkable hat-trick at the age of 13. The admirable veteran is a credit to connections and would be a popular winner if he were to prevail. After his success at Punchestown in June, Mister Beeton is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Galway fourth Another Choice is also capable of making his presence felt.

A GREAT VIEW has slipped to an attractive mark so this veteran is taken to resume winning ways on the back of his encouraging Galway ninth. The Abbey also figures on a handy-looking mark so is feared most reverted to hurdles. Punchestown-scorer Mister Beeton is another who is firmly in the picture along with the hat-trick seeking Dorans River.

Several with good claims but Punchestown winner MISTER BEETON has relatively few miles on the clock and should have more to offer

LTO Selection:

19:50 Ballinrobe Maiden Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Third in a bumper at Galway, SEA MUSIC is the selection. The Emmet Mullins-trained gelding didn't go unbacked at Ballybrit and ran a fine race to take minor honours on what was his racecourse debut. He starts off over hurdles now and should come on plenty for that Galway effort, which was his first since April. Bob The Builder is the highest rated of those with a mark. A solid third on his most recent start at Wexford, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a few places better, with Danny Gilligan claiming a valuable 5lb. Gino Drummer Boy was behind Bob The Builder at Wexford and worse off at the weights now, it's difficult to see him reverse the form. A half-brother to Listed winner Cedarwood Road, In A Little While is an interesting contender for Gearoid O'Loughlin, while Our Girl Sal and Mont Beuvray are others capable of making their presence felt.

Having shaped well on his recent Rules debut in a Galway bumper, SEA MUSIC is taken make a winning start over hurdles. The 5-y-o was runner-up on his sole completed start between the flags, which suggests that he will have no problem with this trip. Our Girl Sal is feared most ahead of Bob The Builder and Gino Drummer Boy.

Galway bumper third SEA MUSIC may be capable of making a winning debut over flights. Bob The Builder can put up the most resistance

LTO Selection:

20:20 Ballinrobe Handicap Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It's difficult to oppose SARAH BEARA who was mightily impressive on her handicap debut at Wexford on Friday. The subject of a gamble at Bettyville, she eased to a five-and-a-half length success and carries a 7lb winners penalty now. Trained by German native Maike Magnussen, Littletwinklestar is given second preference. She ran on well to finish a never nearer third on her most recent start and will again be ridden by Niall Prendergast, who claims a valuable 7lb. No Thanks filled the runner-up spot on his most recent visit to Ballinrobe and should give a good account of himself after finishing a close fourth on the level at Galway recently. Sixhandsinmypocket, Townhill Penny, Ask The Leader and Kingston Kid are others capable of making an impact.

SARAH BEARA duly left her maiden form well behind when making a winning handicap debut at Wexford on Friday and, provided this doesn't come too soon, she will prove a tough nut to crack under a penalty. Sixhandsinmypocket posted his best effort yet when runner-up in a Limerick maiden last time and should be competitive back in handicap company, while Jeriko de Baune could be seen in a better light now faced with a stiffer test. Kingston Kid and No Thanks are others with claims.

The mare SARAH BEARA fairly bolted up when well backed at Wexford on Friday and she's taken to defy the penalty.

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.
