LTO Selection:

13:10 Curragh Maiden 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Solar Saving sets a clear standard of those with race experience following his third at Navan on Wednesday. That said, preference is for ILLINOIS, who is a half-brother to the five-time Group 1 winner Danedream and he is also a full-brother to the Group 3 scorers Venice Beach and Broadway. Invention is another well-bred newcomer who merits plenty of respect on his racecourse bow, while Mont St Michel and Tour Of Duty complete the shortlist.

SOLAR SAVING shaped well when third at Navan on debut and can put that experience to good use up against some interesting newcomers, including Aidan O'Brien's trio Illinois, Mont St Michel and Tour of Duty.

ILLINOIS is a typically well bred sort from Ballydoyle who is the first-string on jockey bookings and the ground should be fine for him

20/1(-100%)
(2) Content 20/1, Winner at Leopardstown (7f) in August. 9 lengths sixth of 7 in Group 3 Weld Park Stakes (9/2) at this course (7f, heavy) 13 days ago. Steps up in trip now.
Well below that form in Group 3 Weld Park Stakes here a fortnight ago and bit to find now.

2nd (6) Kitty Rose (1.1/1 +20%)
Kitty Rose

1.1
1.1/1(+20%)
(6) Kitty Rose 1.1/1, Promising daughter of Invincible Army who took the rise in class in her stride as she made it 2-2 at Leopardstown (7.3f, listed) 4 weeks ago, by 2½ lengths from Content. Open to further improvement and big shout now tackling Group 3 company.
Created fine impression in winning both starts, could take the beating if handling soft.
3
3rd (3) Dare To Dream (14/1 -17%)
Dare To Dream

14
14/1(-17%)
(3) Dare To Dream 14/1, Camelot filly who tasted success on debut at Deauville (1m) in August and stepped up on that form without threatening when fourth in Longchamp Group 3 (1m) since. Not out of the question she can improve further.
French challenger for whom trip/ground in her favour so don't rule out.
5
4th (5) Gray's Inn (28/1 -27%)
Gray's Inn

28
28/1(-27%)
(5) Gray's Inn 28/1, Fairly useful filly. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Chester in July. Below form third of 13 in nursery (13/8) at Goodwood (7f, soft) 65 days ago. Stable having good spell but good bit to find if she's to come out on top back up in grade.
Musselburgh seller winner held since; doesn't look good enough.
1
5th (1) Brilliant (3/1 +14%)
Brilliant

3
3/1(+14%)
(1) Brilliant 3/1, Useful filly. Winner at Leopardstown in July. Very good ¾-length third of 7 in Group 3 Weld Park Stakes (7/1) at this course (7f, heavy) 13 days ago, keeping on. Shortlisted back up in trip.
Career-best here a fortnight ago but not sure she warrants a 105 rating.
9
6th (9) Snellen (20/1 -67%)
Snellen

20
20/1(-67%)
(9) Snellen 20/1, Built on her debut win when following up in 16-runner Chesham Stakes (12/1) at Royal Ascot (7f) in June. Disappointed in Group 2 Debutante Stakes when last seen at the Curragh 7 weeks ago but she's not one to be writing off.
Best form on quick ground; not sure this stamina test will play to her strengths.
10
7th (10) Unreasonable (8/1 -7%)
Unreasonable

8
8/1(-7%)
(10) Unreasonable 8/1, No Nay Never filly who showed fairly useful form when making winning debut in 7-runner maiden at Cork (1m, good to firm) on debut 31 days ago, staying on to lead close home. In good hands and she looks sure to go on to better things.
Did well to make winning debut at Cork last month; late foal with likely more to offer.
8
8th (8) Sea The Boss (17/2 +0%)
Sea The Boss

8.5
17/2(+0%)
(8) Sea The Boss 17/2, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 11/2, 4¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Kitty Rose in listed race at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to firm) 28 days ago, keeping on out wide final 1f. Likely she can do better still.
Leopardstown fourth to Kitty Rose; softer ground here could suit.
4
9th (4) Foxtrot Zulu (20/1 -25%)
Foxtrot Zulu

20
20/1(-25%)
(4) Foxtrot Zulu 20/1, Saxon Warrior filly who was all the rage in the betting but ultimately shaped as if in need of the experience when 3¾ lengths third of 7 to Unreasonable in maiden (4/6) at Cork (8f, good to firm) on debut 31 days ago. Type to do better but this demands a chunk of improvement up markedly in class.
Beaten odds-on favourite on Cork debut but well-regarded and will have learnt plenty.
7

Lady Craftsman

150
150/1(-88%)
(7) Lady Craftsman 150/1, Thrice-raced winner. 15¼ lengths last of 6 to Ylang Ylang in Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft, 50/1) 72 days ago. Difficult ask.
Absent since well held at this level in July; outsider..
LTO Selection:

13:45 Curragh Group 3 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KITTY ROSE has made a very impressive start to her career and she arrives here seeking to add to her record of two wins from two starts. Natalia Lupini's charge shed her maiden tag over 7f at Naas before scoring in Listed company over the extended 7f at Leopardstown, and she appears primed to give another good account. Brilliant is feared most for the powerful Aidan O'Brien yard, while French recruit Dare To Dream will enjoy the ground on her first outing on these shores.

KITTY ROSE took the rise in class in her stride as she made it 2-2 in a Leopardstown listed event (7.3f) 4 weeks ago and with the prospect of more to come, she can maintain her 100% record now tackling Group 3 company. Brilliant may emerge as the chief threat, with Sea The Boss and Unreasonable others fancied to be in the mix.

If handling this softer ground KITTY ROSE (nap) can maintain her unbeaten record

11/2(+45%)
(7) Pachmena 11/2, One win from 36 Flat runs. Good second of 12 in handicap at Down Royal (12.8f, soft, 6/1) 12 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. On a handy mark if she can build on that here.
Losing run since November 2020 but went close at Down Royal latest; well treated.

(10) Narlita 4/1, 10/3, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Bellewstown (12.1f, heavy) 9 days ago, produced to lead final 100 yds and pushed out. Not taken lightly.
Career best when winning 1m4f h'cap on heavy last week; 5lb rise in deeper race.

Went close on AW before making all in Cork maiden in August; fair mark for h'cap debut.

Plains Indian

16
16/1(-33%)
(11) Plains Indian 16/1, Useful jumps winner who has offered something to work on in trio of maidens in this sphere. In better heart than recent form figures suggest over fences and he could well have more to offer now handicapping in this code.
Ran okay when 7th in Galway maiden when last seen on Flat; needs progress to defy mark.

(3) Let Her Loose 10/1, 4 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Catterick in August. 9/4, good second of 5 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, soft) 25 days ago. Looks competitive on form.
8-time winner over this trip; only beaten a neck last month; gets on well with this jockey.

Whatcouldhavebeen

6
6/1(-9%)
(8) Whatcouldhavebeen 6/1, Ended last season on the up, gaining second success in this sphere with an authoritative display at Galway 12 months ago. Developed into a useful hurdler thereafter (runner-up in Grade 1 company) and not underestimated on return to action.
Won twice on Flat last year; needs career best here but that's not out of the question.

Kottayam

40
40/1(-21%)
(13) Kottayam 40/1, Fairly useful bumper/Flat winner for Willie Mullins but fairly low-key efforts for present stable so far this term for Anthony Mullins. Starts out for another new yard now.
Won Tramore maiden on Flat; struggled in h'caps; may not want shorter trip.

Bounced back to something like her best at Listowel latest; potential front-runner here.

9th (15) Folly Beach (14/1 +44%)
Folly Beach

14
14/1(+44%)
(15) Folly Beach 14/1, Winner at Leopardstown (15F) in July. Ninth of 14 in handicap (4/1) at Sligo (13.2f, good to soft) 59 days ago, headed under 2f out and weakening. Better showing not ruled out dropped in trip.
1m7f winner on penultimate start; not in same form latest and 5lb wrong here.

33/1(-65%)
(2) Vultan 33/1, 20/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Listowel (12f, soft) 16 days ago, ridden from 3f out and weakening. Previous Galway effort contained promise so he'd be worthy of note if the market spoke in his favour.
No wins on the Flat for over two years and struggled at Listowel last month.

(6) In Favour 66/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2019. 50/1, below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (12f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive.
Unplaced in 10 starts for this yard and well held on AW last month; remains best watched.

11/2(-10%)
(9) Beautiful Chaos 11/2, 9/4, good second of 7 in handicap at Tramore (12f, good) 24 days ago, running on. Nicely clear of remainder then and she's expected to be bang there.
Narrowly denied in last 2 starts; only up 2lb and has experienced rider on board.

Molly's Gamble

11
11/1(+45%)
(4) Molly's Gamble 11/1, Dual winner at upto 11.2f for Denise Foster last year. Mixed bag on Flat this term and whilst he offered something to work on when fifth on yard/hurdles bow at Listowel (2m) 14 days ago, others make more appeal returned to the level.
Both wins at Killarney; looks harshly treated on this season's Flat form.

Struggled over this trip when last seen on the Flat; 4lb wrong for this.
LTO Selection:

14:20 Curragh Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There is a lot to like about the chance held by Whatcouldhavebeen as she reverts to the level for the first time since winning at Galway off 8lb lower last October. Her strong hurdles form only boosts her profile. However, PACHMENA has been placed over C&D twice before now and, given she has been given a live chance by the handicapper, this could be her day to shine. Let Her Loose, Narlita and Plains Indian are also considered.

Plenty arrive with claims, including BEAUTIFUL CHAOS who was seen off only by another in-form sort at Tramore 24 days ago (the pair nicely clear), and with her very capable pilot taking off a handy 3 lb, she could be the answer. Vischio similarly arrives in good nick and is feared under Jody Townend, with Van Demon and Whatcouldhavebeen others fancied to feature in an interesting contest.

LET HER LOOSE arrives in good form with three wins since the start of August and she was only narrowly denied last month

14:55 Curragh Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This can go the way of FOUR BLONDES, who wasn't beaten far at Naas last month. Her third-placed finish on debut behind the talented Cherry Blossom appeals as strong form as well, and she is preferred to Slaney Swagger, who must be of interest dropping in trip after a decent debut effort over a mile here recently. The class-dropping Blame Thechampagne can also have a say, along with well-bred newcomer Next Trick.

SLANEY SWAGGER showed plenty when a close fourth in a big-field maiden here 2 weeks ago and can put that experience to good use up against interesting newcomers Next Trick and Letherfly.

Having handled softish conditions on his debut here last month SLANEY SWAGGER drops back in trip and gets the vote

15:30 Curragh Listed 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PINAFORE bounced back to winning ways at Nottingham on her latest start when delivering a career-best effort. That was also the first time she had encountered soft ground and there is every chance the daughter of Dark Angel may find another chunk of improvement. Aussie Girl continues to be in fine form and enters the reckoning once again following her recent fourth at Ayr. Bells On Her Toes and My Eyes Adore You appeal most of the remainder.

PINAFORE confirmed herself useful when resuming winning ways at Nottingham and is well worth a shot at this level. Bells On Her Toes was collared only close home in a similar event at Tipperary last week so is another to consider along with impressive debut winner Special Wan.

The in-form 6f specialist PINAFORE gets the vote over the more highly-rated Bells On Her Toes

LTO Selection:

16:05 Curragh Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

POP STAR could be the one for leading connections. Aidan O'Brien's unexposed three-year-old left a lasting impression when getting off the mark at the third attempt in first-time blinkers on his Navan return, and a mark of 82 could really underestimate this son of Sioux Nation on his handicap debut. Harry's Hill is 2-6 over C&D and must be taken seriously, while Petit Calvados brings decent French form to the table and Mymomentintime is expected to go well from the foot of the weights.

PETIT CALVADOS has been shaping up well of late and caught the eye when a strong-travelling third at Dundalk so gets the vote in this competitive handicap. Handicap-debutant Pop Star looks to have more to offer and is next on the list ahead of the handily-weighted C&D winner Mymomentintime.

GUSTAVUS WESTON might be the one to side with after shaping like a return to form was imminent Wednesday and he may build on that

LTO Selection:

16:40 Curragh Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LOINGSEOIR would appear to have been teed up for this again having won the previous two renewals, the latest off 7lb lower. His recent course fourth would suggest he is more than capable of competing from his current mark, though, and he is fancied to complete the hat-trick. Rampage is 7lb better off with his Bellewstown conqueror Mogwli and it would be no surprise were he to reverse that form. Others to note include Lady Arwen, Hokusai and Speckled Meadow.

This looks wide open and it could pay to side with in-form MOGWLI, who should prove well suited by the return to this 1m trip and can also boast a course win. Fellow course scorer Secret Magician can also have a say, with Arch Enemy and Indigo Five (who was first past the post when mistakenly running as stablemate Ano Manna at Killarney last Saturday) completing the shortlist.

INDIGO FIVE was disqualified last week when mistaken for another horse but she won that well and is less exposed than most

17:15 Curragh Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAGICAL VISION excels when the mud is flying so the more rain the better. The lightly-raced six-year-old has enjoyed a summer break since failing in her bid for the four-timer over C&D back in April and she is back down to a nice mark. The ex-French Universally is settling into Irish life nicely and deserved his breakthrough success at Fairyhouse. He is up 8lb, which is 1lb less than the hike Run Forrest Run got for his comprehensive Cork victory. Transcendental and Sounds Of Spring are a couple more to consider.

RUN FORREST RUN has to overcome a 9 lb higher mark for his Cork win 11 days ago but that looks fully justified given the manner of that success so he may well be up to the task. Mark's Bear stopped the slide last time and a case can definitely be made for him from a handicapping perspective, with Half Nutz another to consider.

Value may be had in PINAR DEL RIO, nicely in on some of his best form, likes the ground, is well-drawn, and has an in-form claimer

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.
