16:20 Clonmel Maiden 9.5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ASTAR is becoming a touch frustrating but may be able to gain an overdue win here. The Sea The Stars filly has been placed on her last five outings and the form of her runner-up effort at Galway last time has worked out well. She chased home the progressive Youcrackmeup in handicap company then. The winner has followed up since while the third horse, Fratas, has gone on to win twice. Her mark of 80 sets the standard. Lady Meis is the potential improver in the field and could be the danger. She ran a big race when just pipped at the line in Gowran last time and that was a step forward from her first two outings. The 75-rated As Fast As Wind, who was second at Bellewstown last time, is another for the shortlist in this company.

ASTAR has been knocking pretty loudly on the door this season and this looks a great chance for him to open his account. Lady Meis is going the right way and looks the obvious danger.

Runner-up in four of her last five starts ASTAR can gain a deserved win here, although Lady Meis could push her close

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

THIS SONGISFORYOU can gain compensation here having lost out narrowly in a tight three-way finish at Leopardstown last month. The US-bred gelding has been knocking on the door recently and also ran well when third at Galway earlier last month. Obviously it would be dangerous to take too literally his short-head defeat by the 105-rated Up And Under last time but he has certainly shown a level where he can win a race of this standard. Expound has the top mark of those with an official rating and has been hitting the crossbar. It would be disappointing though if This Songisforyou couldn't surpass his mark of 73. Awqaat ran well when fourth in a Naas maiden last time and could be place material.

This is short of THIS SONGISFORYOU's optimum trip but he's very likely to get away with it in a race lacking strength in depth. Nostringsttached and Expound look set to chase the selection home.

Having just failed to get up at Leopardstown last month THIS SONGISFORYOU looks the one to beat here

17:25 Clonmel Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FLORIDA TAIGA ran really well over slightly further at Navan recently and looks capable of winning a handicap off this kind of mark. The daughter of Free Eagle finished off well to take third behind Stay Local and the first-time blinkers then seemed to work well. A tongue-tie is also added now and if that can extract anymore improvement if may get her over the line. Chica Linda comes here in winning form having scored at Sligo last month and she looks an obvious danger. Jeaniemacaroney won a barrier trial last year and shaped with promise when third on her racecourse bow at Gowran. She hasn't quite shown that level in two runs this term but could get closer now off a lowly enough mark on her handicap debut.

FLORIDA TAIGA produced her best effort so far sporting first-time blinkers after 3 months off when third at Navan last Saturday and, provided she copes with this quick turnaround, Dermot Weld's filly is fancied to get off the mark with a tongue tie added. The main threat may emerge from Jeaniemacaroney, who looks just the type to do better in handicaps, with recent winner Chica Linda rounding off the shortlist.

It was a career best from FLORIDA TAIGA when beaten a length at Navan last week and if she comes on for that, she may be hard to beat

17:55 Clonmel Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ECLAT DE LUMIERE has dropped a few pounds since her last run and looks capable of landing a race of this standard. Seven furlongs at the Curragh last time looked on the short side but she stayed on from the rear and it wasn't a bad run in competitive company. This looks a better trip now and an easier task. Slieve Binnian was a winner at the Curragh last time and while this 'country' track may not play to his strengths just as well he commands plenty of respect. Simply Sideways has run well to be placed on her last couple of outings and with Sean Bowen taking 7lb off her back now she could run a big race off a feather weight.

Competitive fare with the narrow vote in favour of ECLAT DE LUMIERE. Unsuited by the drop in trip when midfield in a Curragh handicap (7f) when last seen in June, her previous Fairyhouse third was a solid enough display and she can be expected to go well from a career-low mark. Free Flow and recent course scorer Slieve Binnian head up the dangers.

FREE FLOW has looked well treated since switching to handicaps and he ran a good race from a poor position last time

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

The form of SLAMADOOR's win at Gowran Park last time has worked out well and she may be able to bag a follow up success. She got home by half a length then from Jazz Dreamers, who went on to win at Bellewstown, while the third horse, Simply Sideways, has been placed again since and has a chance to boost the form in the preceding race today. Tastyee has been performing consistently and was runner-up off this mark at Killarney last time. She could be a major player again. Chatterbox was just denied at Killarney recently and while she takes a significant drop in trip now she has to be on the shortlist having shown some decent form over shorter in the past.

PLUNKETT STREET upped his game when runner-up at a big price on handicap debut and he's worth a chance to improve enough to open his account at the expense of more-exposed types. Chatterbox and Slamadoor both deserve respect.

There's been some encouraging runs from SPECIAL PROTECTOR of late and she looks like a big player from the basement mark

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

GRAPPA NONINO got a bit too far back when a staying on sixth in a competitive handicap over in York just over two weeks ago and may be able to strike again here in shallower waters. The Teofilo gelding had won at the Curragh previously and looks capable of going in again off this 6lb higher mark. Extensio was good on his hurdling debut at Roscommon last time and with that confidence boosting success under his belt he could run well back on the level again here. The six-year-old had been runner-up on his previous two Flat starts and is a consistent sort. Marvelosa is another who has been holding her form well and also has to be on the shortlist.

Having been shaping up well on the Flat in recent months, EXTENSIO continued the good work when opening his account over hurdles at Roscommon 4 weeks ago and, returned to this sphere, he's fancied to make another bold bid. Sheishybrid and Grappa Nonino are others to consider, with Marvelosa not out of things either.

Fresh from a winning hurdles debut, EXTENSIO gets the nod after a fine Curragh run prior to that win

Alex Harvey has impressed recently and he can bag another winner here on WILD SHOT. The nine-year-old has been in fine form and has run well on his last couple of outings over timber. He won well at Tramore when last seen on the Flat and is only 4lb higher now. Walnut Beach is another versatile dual-purpose performer who has been running well and was third to the selection at Tramore. At the revised terms he looks a danger. The Abbey has a lowly enough Flat rating and looks worth another chance at this game. He could be place material.

WILD SHOT has run 2 solid races over hurdles since his comfortable Flat success at Tramore in July and can strike for John McConnell. Walnut Beach was third to the selection at Tramore and is second choice ahead of Gordon Elliott's The Abbey, who has a productive spell over jumps this summer and has a basement mark to work with back on the Flat.

This can go the way of WILD SHOT (nap) who won well when last seen on the Flat and the handicapper may have let him off the hook

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.
