LTO Selection:

13:20 Curragh Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SURFERS PARADISE began his career in the 7f maiden won by Diego Velazquez here, showing plenty of ability in fourth, and then finished a couple of lengths clear of Marty The Party when they took minor honours at Tipperary. The drop from 1m1f should be in his favour and he can make it third-time lucky. The penny dropped for Hazbaiya a bit too late on her introduction but she caught the eye when the race was all over. Salah Al Deen, a stable companion of the selection, is arguably the pick of the newcomers.

SURFERS PARADISE improved on debut form when second to a good prospect at Tipperary and sets a clear standard. Marty The Party made a promising start at Tipperary so is next best ahead of Barnso.

SURFERS PARADISE, who has by far the best form and the beating of Marty The Party, looks the one

(4) House Of Aviz 9/2, Twice-raced colt. 3/1, sixth of 12 in maiden at this course (8f, good) 29 days ago. Still learning and pedigree gives him the scope for more progress, so warrants consideration.

(8) Pandion Power 150/1, Twice-raced gelding. 80/1, tenth of 12 in maiden at this course (8f, good) 29 days ago. Others make more appeal.
Similarly pleasing runs (1m) would suggest he is more a handicap sort, as would SPs.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Curragh Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Meteor Storm and VERSATILE are two highly appealing newcomers and while the former ticks all the right boxes as a potential player over this sort of trip, the latter, a 235,000-euro purchase whose dam is a half-sister to Dewhurst winner Intense Focus, shades the vote. That is not to underestimate potential improvers Taraj, Gesture and Gasper De Lemos, who are candidates for progression as they gain more experience.

TARAJ has the best form based on his encouraging fourth on debut at this course and, with improvement expected, he's a confident selection despite the presence of No Knee Never and Versatile, both interesting newcomers.

TARAJ has the beating of House Of Aviz on course form so the latter's stable buddy Gasper De Lemos is feared more

(2) Caught U Looking 4/1, Completely different proposition on second start when winning 18-runner maiden (5/1) at Leopardstown (7f, good to soft) 66 days ago, plenty in hand. Likely to improve again and she's a useful prospect.

Not a bad debut here in August but she's shown the least of these.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Curragh Group 3 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

After finishing in mid-division on debut, CAUGHT U LOOKING proved a completely different proposition when quickening clear from her rivals in an 18-runner maiden at Leopardstown. The Harzand filly may have more to come and looks capable of dealing with the rise in class. Sakti posted an excellent runner-up effort in the Debutante Stakes over C&D and may emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Content, who found only the unbeaten Kitty Rose too strong at the Irish Champions Festival.

SAKTI clearly possesses more than her share of ability given she was runner-up in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes over C&D on just her second start. There should be plenty more to come and she's very much the one to beat, with Caught U Looking feared most.

Sakti is the one to beat after her second in the Debutante but DOLLERINA got no luck in running there after being well backed.

All her wins have been in handicap company and up against it on these terms.
LTO Selection:

15:00 Curragh Group 3 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An impressive winner of a Group 3 at Naas, OCEAN QUEST remains a relatively unexposed sprinter and there is plenty more to come from Jessica Harrington's filly on ground she should enjoy. Shartash has ground to find with her from earlier in the season, and must bounce back from a mishap at the stalls when competing in Group 3 company over C&D last month. Go Athletico was runner-up in that contest and must be a leading contender on the back of what has been a solid season for new connections.

OCEAN QUEST cranked it up another notch when winning at this Group 3 level a month ago and given this 3-y-o filly isn't yet exposed, there ought to be more to come from her. She's marginally preferred in favour of Go Athletico and Big Gossey, who are both established at this level.

Jessica Harrington's OCEAN QUEST (nap) is essentially a Group 1 filly contesting a Group 3 and she bolted up last time out.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Curragh Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

VESTIGIA caught the eye when finishing well to take fourth in a valuable event over an extended 6f here recently and that form suggests that he could be hard to beat off an opening mark of 75. Another who may benefit from a step up in trip is Uncle Albert, who hit the crossbar on his nursery debut at Sligo last month and could prove to be the main threat. Pomeriggio is likely to improve in first-time blinkers and is the pick of the remainder.

VESTIGIA stepped up on his 2 previous efforts when fourth in a valuable sales race here 2 weeks ago and he makes plenty of appeal off a tempting opening mark with the step up in trip sure to suit. Uncle Albert pulled clear of the rest when runner-up to a subsequent winner on nursery bow at Sligo so is feared most ahead of Pomeriggio.

UNCLE ALBERT was eye-taking at Sligo and surely wins races, though he may want an ease. Barley Cove might win too

LTO Selection:

16:10 Curragh Handicap 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ECHOES IN RAIN finished a neck second in this 12 months ago and is taken to go one better this time. Willie Mullins' charge, a dual Grade 1 winner over hurdles, has ground conditions in her favour and seems to really thrive in these big-field handicaps. Novel Legend is a fascinating British representative as he has yet to perform poorly running over these types of trips and showed a good attitude to win at Goodwood last time, while Dawn Rising has a lot less on his plate than when third in the Irish St. Leger. Tower Of London finished fourth in the St Leger at Doncaster last weekend and, although this is a quick turnaround, it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see him run well.

Plenty are in with a shout. Emmet Mullins' dual purpose campaigner TEED UP arrives on an upward curve so edges the vote now back on the level after an impressive hurdles win at Galway. Dawn Rising is weighted to have a big say on the back of his Irish St leger third and next on the list, although a solid case can also be made for Tower of London, Echoes In Rain and Chally Chute in a fiercely competitive Irish Cesarewitch.

A whole host to consider but CHALLY CHUTE ran well over 1m4f at Galway considering he ideally needs further and softer ground.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Curragh Handicap 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It could pay to concentrate on Gradulations and CRASSUS, both of whom have gone up 7lb for winning very impressively at Down Royal last time out. The former shaped as though further would suit over 1m 5f there in July, but the latter's stamina is proven following his 2m 2f romp 16 days ago and his recent match-fitness could give him the edge. Sundial is a potential fly in the ointment on his return to the Flat off what could be a fair mark, while it would be no surprise to see useful hurdler Merlin Giant leave a disappointing Leopardstown effort well behind.

CRASSUS forged away to score at Down Royal recently and he's taken to defy a rise at the possible expense of Maze Runner, who leaves the impression there's still a bigger effort in him in this sphere. Lord Erskine also makes appeal.

An open handicap but MERLIN GIANT might be the way to go. Useful over hurdles, he's still not had that many chances on the Flat.

LTO Selection:

17:20 Curragh Stakes 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOBLE ANTHEM was a fair performer on the Flat for Archie Watson and he ran well in a first-time tongue-tie on his first start for the Adrian Paul Keatley yard when second at Kelso over hurdles 12 days ago. The son of Starspangledbanner could have too much class for these. Stuzzikini is a live danger, as he has run well enough in fifth on both of his starts on the Flat to suggest he could get involved in this contest, while Aurora Princess could also have a say after her third at Gowran Park.

AURORA PRINCESS can surely go close under Michael O'Neill after a pleasing Gowran run. Stuzzikini is a big danger for Viv Connolly

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.
