LTO Selection:

16:05 Bellewstown Claiming Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The 134-rated JUNGLE PROSE sets a high standard for a claimer and should prove the one to beat. She comes here having pulled up over fences at Galway earlier in the month, when it was reported that she jumped poorly. It's no surprise to see her back over hurdles now and this looks like a winnable opportunity. At the weights the 119-rated Wajaaha would appear to be the danger. He was fourth in a similar event at Sligo just under three weeks ago. Clondaw Hollow has been running well over fences and is another that has to be on the shortlist in this company.

JUNGLE PROSE needs forgiving a lesser effort over fences at Galway on her latest outing 4 weeks ago yet she holds sound claims on these terms returning to timber and could well be the way to go. Wajaaha and Clondaw Hollow are a couple of others fancied to feature. Bal de Rio can also give a good account.

If suffering no ill-effects from a bad experience over fences last time JUNGLE PROSE should be hard to beat in this grade

LTO Selection:

16:35 Bellewstown Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AEROS LUCK was a touch unlucky when last seen at Kilbeggan last month and can gain compensation here. The My Dream Boat gelding looked to have the race in the bag going to the last then but was untidy at the final flight and was chased down on the run-in by Hardwired. He had also been runner-up at the same course the previous month and wouldn't be winning out of turn now. Weseekherthere was slightly disappointing when fourth on her most recent start at Sligo but the bumper winner has some solid form and looks an obvious danger. Ivy Hall was well enough held when third at Kilbeggan five days ago but could pick up prize-money again.

Bumper-winner WESEEKHERTHERE has been a shade disappointing over hurdles so far but is afforded another chance in a race lacking depth. Aero's Luck's stamina for this far isn't set in stone but he's a major threat if seeing it out, with Our Girl Sal another to consider.

A cleaner round of jumping by the mistake-prone AEROS LUCK may be enough to see him step up a place after two seconds at Kilbeggan

LTO Selection:

17:05 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FINAL ORDERS looks very well treated back over hurdles here compared to his chase mark, which is 47lb higher. The Camelot gelding made little impression when last seen in the Galway Plate after a bad mistake early on but his is a much easier task. He has been a big improver over fences, with five wins, since last seen over hurdles taking this same race 12 months ago. Spanish John won nicely at Ballinrobe 16 days ago and there looks scope for more improvement from the Vendangeur gelding. Pat Fahy's charge left his previous form well behind when rounding the field to win going away on his handicap debut. Artemis Angel may also be capable of a bit better at this distance. She looked a touch one-paced when they quickened from the last at Downpatrick last time.

The last time FINAL ORDERS was seen over hurdles was when taking this corresponding event last year (won 6 times over fences since) and Gavin Cromwell's 7-y-o is strongly fancied to repeat that feat from a 6 lb higher mark. The main danger may emerge from Spanish John, who left previous efforts a long way behind after 6 months off when scoring at Ballinrobe recently, while Serpolette and Cullenwaine can do battle for third.

Gavin Cromwell's FINAL ORDERS looks a better horse now than when winning this 12 months ago off 6lb lower.

LTO Selection:

17:40 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BUKHILL is still relatively unexposed and may be able to make the most of a feather weight here, with Rachael Blackmore an eye-catching booking. The Hillstar gelding showed his well-being when running a cracker in a charity race at the Curragh on Saturday. He had previously failed to make much impression on his handicap debut over hurdles at Galway when getting a bit far back after a couple of mistakes. The five-year-old had won nicely on his previous hurdle start at Sligo and looks attractively treated off a mark of 105. Stilyker is an obvious danger for Willie Mullins. The Dylan Thomas gelding ran well for a long way when making the running at Galway last time. Stepping up in trip could suit now. The consistent Presenting Lad, a winner at Ballinrobe last time, looks another leading contender while impressive Roscommon winner Lake Winnipesaukee is an interesting one on his handicap debut. It remains to be seen how well treated he is off a mark of 123.

STILYKER hasn't had much racing for Willie Mullins but there's a strong feeling that there's a bigger performance in him for this yard. He's awarded the tentative vote in an open contest, with Uhtred and Navigator Jack a couple of potential threats.

There's more to come as a jumper from BUKHILL, who ran surprisingly well in Pat Smullen's charity Flat race last weekend.

LTO Selection:

18:10 Bellewstown Conditions Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MOON RISE BEAUTY got a confidence boosting win under her belt at Cork last time and can bag a follow up win. The Spanish Moon filly had run well previously when chasing home Great Bear at the same venue and didn't have much to beat on her return earlier this month. She looks capable of running to a mark of around 120 which should be enough to win this. Popova holds that same rating and makes her first outing since finishing mid-division at Punchestown. She's a danger at her best. Je T'ai Porte, rated 117, looks another big player. She has run a couple of times on the level this summer and is a decent dual-purpose sort.

POPOVA had some quite useful form in her novice season and may be able to strike on her reappearance. Rockview Consort won nicely on her recent Tramore hurdle debut winner and is second choice ahead of fellow last-time-out scorer Moon Rise Beauty.

Willie Mullins has massive strength in this division. MOON RISE BEAUTY (nap) can take the measure of Popova, top-rated on 120.

LTO Selection:

18:40 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MATER MATUTA won this race 12 months ago and the locally trained mare is sure to be primed for a repeat bid. The selection, also successful both on the Flat and over fences, has been placed on a number of occasions in a varied campaign since and ran with credit here on her penultimate start over 1m4f. Steps In The Sand was claimed by current connections after winning over 1m4f at Dundalk last December and has been switched to hurdles this year making the frame on both handicap outings. She remains on a competitive mark while others to consider include Mr Globalist, Be My Hero and Applejack Poet. The latter had the keen running Neev's Dream behind when fourth in a similar event at Kilbeggan last time.

MATER MATUTA had very testing ground as a possible excuse for her below-par fifth at Tramore 12 days ago and might be able to notch a second successive win in this contest under Jordan Gainford. Neev's Dream is second choice ahead of Gordon Elliott's Be My Hero. Karloss is one who would also enter the reckoning if the market speaks in his favour on this first outing for Charles Byrnes.

In the hope that he's ridden a little closer to the action than last time BE MY HERO earns a tentative vote.

LTO Selection:

19:10 Bellewstown Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

UP AND OUT hails from a yard in good form and has shown her best form on good ground. She made a pleasing return after a winter break when beating all bar the odds-on Charlie Luciano in a Kilbeggan maiden and again filled the runner-up spot in a Sligo handicap last week behind hot favourite Redwood Queen. Red Striker won over hurdles and fences around this time last year and returned to form at Kilbeggan last time when only headed in the closing stages. Gwan Tadhg appreciated good ground when successful at Downpatrick earlier this month and had Tea It Is over six lengths back in third when runner-up to the gambled-on Anyway at the northern venue on Monday.

RED STRIKER reacted well to blinkers when third at Kilbeggan last time and might be the answer to this tricky handicap if the headgear works again. Up And Out is an obvious danger for the Elliott team on the back of his Sligo second. Ambitious Approach should be more than capable from this opening hurdle mark judged on his Flat ability and is another to consider.

Gwan Tadhg would be a player if turned out after Monday's good run but preference is for last year's third HAPPAUGUE.

LTO Selection:

19:40 Bellewstown NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Willie Mullins continues to dominate in bumpers with another newcomer winning at Ballinrobe on Monday and THREESHEETSTODWIND may provide the champion trainer with yet another winner. The Shantou filly is a full sister to five winners including the useful Drop The Anchor who won the valuable November Handicap at Naas last year. Royal Moon has put together a series of consistent efforts in bumpers and will surely gain a deserved win at some stage, while Gone For Tea has similar claims having been placed on all three starts this summer. Gordon Elliott introduces Yourenotthebossame, a half-sister to two hurdle winners, although she wasn't too strong in the market before taken out due to ground conditions at Sligo last week.

The natural starting point is THREESHEETSTODWIND given her pedigree and the yard she represents, and if the market speaks in her favour the case for supporting this filly will be all the more compelling. Royal Moon gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Gone For Tea and Intertwine.

Newcomer Threesheetstodwind is the obvious one here, but INTERTWINE ran well in a strong bumper last year and gets a hopeful vote

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.
