16:45 Clonmel Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 2/1 (1) JE T'AI PORTE, 2nd: 12/1 (9) NED'S LEGACY, 3rd: 12/1 (16) TA NA LA

NED'S LEGACY was beaten 29 lengths on debut but ran quite well and should improve. Held up off the pace at Tramore, she finished well and while ultimately well beaten, the winner and runner-up were experienced and the selection is open to vast improvement. Top weight Je T'ai Porte is a 73-rated dual flat winner and while a keen-goer, showed improved form when making the running under a similar penalty at Kilbeggan. She is experienced but soft ground is concerning. Phil's Choice ran out when looking likely to win at Limerick in November and while she returned to form in a recent Grade 3 bumper, would prefer good ground. Stormy Outlook debuts over hurdles but will be well schooled and has soft-ground, middle-distance flat form, so might place. Up And Out has placed form in similar maiden hurdles but prefers a sound surface.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and JE T'AI PORTE can go one better than when an excellent Kilbeggan second last time and open her account in this sphere. Up And Out also has the form to play a part and rates the chief threat, with Ned's Legacy a solid place prospect if, as expected, building on her encouraging Tramore debut third.

Although preferring better ground UP AND OUT gets the nod in a weak mares' maiden over Je T'ai Porte

17:18 Clonmel Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well in the race. However, some horses worth considering for the top three positions are 4/1 (16) PONT AUDEMER, 9/1 (9) BAL DE RIO, and 6/1 (18) FUTURE PROOF (if they make it into the race as a reserve). These horses have shown some recent form and have been competitive in previous races. However, it is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable, and other horses could surprise and perform better than expected.

PONT AUDEMER faces older horses but has already run well in handicaps and remains unexposed. An easy-to-back winner at Limerick in January, his two subsequent runs were satisfactory with the Navan form working out well and he should continue to progress. Grange Walk is rated 33lb higher over fences and while very capable in that sphere, was beaten from today's same rating in his last two hurdles, although his latest run was when a useful third over course and distance last November. New Ross doesn't look ahead of the handicapper and would prefer a sound surface while Tom McGreevy has useful recent form but would prefer good ground. As Tears Go By is possibly best watched on reappearance on handicap debut. Morning Logic was hampered before finishing well held at Punchestown while reappearing Boom Boom Boom needs a sound surface.

The interesting one here is BOOM BOOM BOOM on handicap debut over hurdles given he's improved on the level since we last saw him tackling obstacles. Pont Audemer is a rock-solid opponent, with Tom McGreevy completing the shortlist.

There was plenty to like about the return to action of BIG ISLAND in a Limerick Flat maiden and he gets a sporting selection

17:48 Clonmel Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to do well are 5/1 (1) STUZZIKINI, 4/1 (4) WESTERN COMANDOR, and 2.75/1 (2) WASTHATOK. 5/1 (1) STUZZIKINI has shown recent form and is a fairly useful hurdler. 4/1 (4) WESTERN COMANDOR has won a novice hurdle before and warrants respect. 2.75/1 (2) WASTHATOK won a maiden hurdle last month and can only improve. 33/1 (6) FEMALE APPROACH is not expected to perform well in this company. Therefore, the predicted order of finish is 5/1 (1) STUZZIKINI in first place, followed by 2.75/1 (2) WASTHATOK in second, and 4/1 (4) WESTERN COMANDOR in third.

WASTHATOK won well on jumps debut recently, having shown promise in useful bumpers. He seemed to improve at Kilbeggan and can progress further jumping-wise. Stuzzikini won a Kilbeggan maiden and the Punchestown charity race and while his rider claim 5lbs, nonetheless has enough weight tackling a capable selection. Western Comandor won a Down Royal maiden in which Stuzzikini pulled up in March (the third-placed horse showed himself in a better light subsequently) and should be competitive from his 116 rating. Gentleman Joe, Listed-placed on the Flat, has been a shade disappointing over hurdles but had plenty horses behind him in a useful Fairyhouse handicap last month. Estepona Sun reappears following a layoff, would prefer good ground and hasn't won for almost three years.

Preference is for WASTHATOK, who scored at the first time of asking in this sphere at Kilbeggan last month and remains open to improvement. Stuzzikini may provide the chief threat.

Another progressive type is WASTHATOK (nap) who won readily at Kilbeggan and can only improve further

18:18 Clonmel Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 10/1 (12) SKRADIN 2nd: 9/1 (11) POWER HOUR 3rd: 2.25/1 (1) FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY

Lowly-rated but unexposed flat performer ALL IN PEDER bumped into a now four-time hurdles winner on jumps debut at Aintree last June. That third-placed horse was a previous winner and while All In Peder was recently beaten on a heavy-ground flat handicap, could be suited by this extra distance, on a sounder surface and is now race-fit. Fameaftertheglory has been unable to concede his bumper-winners' penalty over hurdles and was well held at Kilbeggan recently. Evesham Road finished ahead of Marv Michael in a recent bumper, where the third-horse improved to win well subsequently. Both are closely matched although Marv Michael has a better profile being a debut winner (beating two subsequent points winners) at Kinsale and should improve from that Cork reappearance. Skradin was a beaten favourite in an ordinary contest here in March while Power Hour has been running well but also has plenty on his plate. Itso Vango would prefer good ground and reappears in a first-time tongue-tie.

FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY has undoubtedly become frustrating over jumps but there's no doubting he has the ability to land a race of this nature and, with blinkers refitted, this could be the day he gets off the mark. Skradin ran his best race yet when runner-up over 2m here latest and is feared, with hurdles debutant Marv Michael and All In Peder others to note.

Maybe it could pay to give one final chance to FAMEAFTERTHEGLORY who has to come good at some stage

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

1st - 7.5/1 (2) RATHNALEEN KAL 2nd - 7.5/1 (9) LILIAN BLAND 3rd - 6.5/1 (7) ALIUNDE

LILIAN BLAND has improved recently and ran well over course and distance last month. Ground-versatile, she won a point-to-point in February and bumped into now 21lb higher-rated Mighty Jeremy here in April. Rathnaleen Kal ran well on handicap debut at Tipperary, finishing ahead of third-placed Go Gill Go and fifth-placed Leading The Way (which had chased home Mighty Jeremy at Cork in March) and the trio should each again compete well. Aliunde finished reasonably well in a similar Downpatrick race recently while Duke Otto has claims on best form but is a 14-race maiden.

ALIUNDE upped his game when third at Downpatrick last time and remains low mileage. He can open his account here. Lilian Bland and Kate Ill Know head the list of dangers.

Plenty with chances, none more so than LILLIAN BLAND, whose C&D second to the progressive Mighty Jeremy last month reads well

19:18 Clonmel Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will win the race. However, 1.75/1 (5) BELLA UNION and 6/1 (9) ANSTAND appear to have good chances on their previous form, with 1.75/1 (5) BELLA UNION being a promising individual and 6/1 (9) ANSTAND having recently run competitively with blinkers on. For the remaining places, 20/1 (7) MOSAAHEB and 11/1 (11) STEALING KISSES may have potential to improve as lightly-raced maidens, while 8.5/1 (17) BEECHROAD WINNIE, 2/1 (19) I AM SPIDER MAN, and 10/1 (2) LA HACIENDA cannot be counted out. The reserves, Return Of The Sea and Bit Below Form, may also be worth considering if they make it into the race. Overall, it is a very competitive field and any of these horses could surprise with a strong performance.

LA HACIENDA's hurdles' form is poor but is a capable flat handicapper. She pulled up on her only previous handicap hurdle run at Kilbeggan in April 2022 but subsequently improved her flat rating to 86, winning useful handicaps at Leopardstown, Galway and Killarney and likes easy ground. Sunwalk was last rated 72 on the flat and while also beaten long distances over hurdles thus far, drops markedly in grade on handicap hurdle debut. Andstand has proven handicap hurdles form and while well held at Tramore, is now tried in first-time blinkers and is suited by soft ground. Bella Union shaped with promise in bumpers but faded at Fairyhouse in February. Ventnor is a 26-race maiden who was well held at Leopardstown. Third reserve I Am Spider Man would be a notable runner having won at Sedgefield last October but would prefer a sound surface.

BELLA UNION has yet to trouble the judge but he showed enough on his penultimate start at Punchestown to suggest that a race of this nature would be within his grasp. If the first-time blinkers have the desired effect, Anstand could be the one to follow the selection home. Battle of Ridgeway may well up his game now pitched into a handicap and he is third choice.

A chance is taken on the fitness after a long absence of LA HACIENDA, who is potentially verry well-handicapped back hurdling

19:48 Clonmel Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are most likely to do well and potentially finish in the top three are as follows: 1. 6/1 (9) LUCKY ZEBO - recent Kilbeggan winner and in good form with a career-best win. Trainer is also going well. 2. 3/1 (10) STILYKER - Tramore winner last June and performed well in their last run, winning a 13-runner handicap hurdle. Could go close. 3. 8/1 (5) SOLITARY MAN - one of the least exposed horses in the race, entering handicap company. Should progress and could potentially surprise. Reserve horses that could potentially do well if they get a run are 7/1 (18) EARLY ARRIVAL and 16/1 (19) YOUNG DARLEEN.

STILYKER reappears following another long layoff but looks well handicapped. He improved to win for Willie Mullins last June and while scoring by just a neck, the runner-up has since improved his rating by 24lb. His winning rider Paul Townend is in America for the Iroquois Hurdle and soft ground isn't ideal, but Stilyker will be ready on reappearance. Near-neighbour Criminal Mischief, a chasing type, won an ordinary course maiden in March and while he ran satisfactorily on handicap debut at Tramore (finished ahead of Tramore-specialist Craic Eile), might struggle to beat an on-song selection. Lucky Zebo's maiden hurdle form was unexciting and is 8lb higher than when winning at Kilbeggan but should get involved. Bumper winner Ballycashin makes her handicap debut following a break while Solitary Man steps up in trip on handicap debut. Clairmc has bits of form but is a 12-race maiden.

The one who appeals most is STILYKER, who got off the mark on his first start for Willie Mullins at Tramore when last seen 11 months ago. That success was gained on the back of a similar absence to that which he is returning from here, so lack of a recent run is no great concern. Solitary Man appears to have been brought along steadily with handicaps in mind and is interesting now pitched into one, while Lucky Zebo, who opened his account at Kilbeggan 3 weeks ago, also enters calculations.

Preference is for recent Kilbeggan winner LUCKY ZEBO, providing the ground doesn't worsen too much

20:18 Clonmel NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 1/1 (9) OLD GROUND seems like the strongest contender for first place as a well-bred newcomer with a good debut opportunity. 3.5/1 (10) SILVER LARK and 16/1 (5) JIMMYIES DREAM could be contenders for second and third place, respectively. However, as with all horse races, factors such as current form, jockey performance, and track conditions can greatly affect the outcome, so it ultimately remains unpredictable.

OLD GROUND has an excellent pedigree and represents the champion trainer. All six of her siblings to-have-raced have won and each has shown smart form, including half-sister and top class racemare Colreevy, herself a Grade 1 bumper winner. Silver Lark has form and while she disappointed at Down Royal in March, beat a subsequent Kilbeggan winner into third at Thurles in February. Little Green Lady is out of a nicely related bumper winning mare while John Gleeson is a notable booking for Jimmyies Dream, a sister to four-timer winner Happy Jacky, but who makes a belated debut aged six. Midnight Fairy is out of a hurdle-winning dam.

OLD GROUND is related to six winners and in top hands, so she's worth chancing first time out in what doesn't look a particularly strong bumper. Silver Lark is the best of those with experience in this sphere and ranks as the main danger.

This looks a good opportunity for the well-bred OLD GROUND to make a winning debut

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.
