13:55 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MILANAWAY posted an encouraging fourth behind subsequent Grade 1 runner-up Spindleberry at Fairyhouse in January and a reproduction of that performance may suffice in these calmer waters. Cooltubrid Eva was somewhat underwhelming when a well-beaten sixth at Punchestown last time out, but the five-year-old's close-up second at Limerick in December gives her a chance. Spice Diva will find this easier than the Listed event she contested at Doncaster last month and is also noted.

The step back up in trip should suit PALLAS ATHENE and she gets the nod in an open-looking maiden. Cooltubrid Eva and Milanaway head the list of dangers.

Down in class COOLTUBRID EVA gets the vote to confirm Limerick form with Pallas Athene, who seems to have lost her way

14:30 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GAMIGIN is versatile regarding the trip and, with ground conditions not expected to cause any issues, there are solid reasons to expect another big run form Noel Kelly's six-year-old. Jacenry finished sixth behind the selection over the extended two miles here at the Christmas fixture but, having returned to win over this course and distance last month, he rates a strong contender with his stamina now proven. Perfect Pupil and Portnacoo are a couple of others with solid each-way claims.

There's likely more to come from last month's course scorer JACENRY so a 7 lb rise may not prevent him following up. Noel Kelly's Gamagin is another who has tasted success here this winter and is second choice ahead of Stockdale and Spatman de Cerisy, a potential improver in handicaps for Paul Nolan.

Not too many appeal here and perhaps an opportunity for the still unexposed JACENRY to follow up on last month's C&D success

15:05 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Dgalwaygallivantor has picked up minor money twice since breaking through at Cork and should run his race once more. PIPERS BOREEN has been much improved since going handicapping and teaming up with Conor McNamara, though, and Shane Nolan's mare could still have more to offer judging by her Leopardstown second. Annaghbeg is interesting now he steps out of maiden/novice company for the first time, with similar remarks applying to Squire Ohara.

PIPERS BOREEN is going the right way over hurdles and can register her second success. Dgalwaygallivantor and San Martino should also go well.

The proven stamina of PIPERS BOREEN can prove decisive and she is just 1lb higher than when a running on second at Leopardstown.

15:40 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Tankardstown Diva beat Ballycairn (sixth) when denied by the smallest of margins over 2m4f here last month and the extra distance could unlock further improvement, so she ought to go close. However, preference is for A GREAT BUZZ, who is only 1lb higher than when an encouraging third at Cork. Robert Tyner's five-year-old makes only her third handicap start and she could progress to shed her maiden tag. Doonbeg Don and Mahler Appeal are others to watch out for.

A GREAT BUZZ shaped well back from a break at Cork last month and there's a race in her from a mark in the 90s on that evidence. There should be more to come from Henry de Bromhead's Doonbeg Don in handicaps so he's second choice ahead of Mahler Appeal and Tankardstown Diva.

The well-bred A GREAT BUZZ looks to be getting the hang of things now handicapping and she can improve on her third place at Cork.

16:15 Down Royal Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOW IS THE HOUR found a decent amount of improvement earlier in the year, getting off the mark over hurdles at Fairyhouse before following up in a Grade 2 at Haydock. The seven-year-old has since made his chasing debut, finishing second over an inadequate 2m at Cork, and stepping back up in trip is likely to see him go one better. Duffle Coat enters calculations based on his runner-up displays at Punchestown and Gowran, while others capable of being in the mix include Extrapolation and Dreal Deal.

NOW IS THE HOUR is the pick on hurdling form and shaped encouragingly when second at Cork on chasing debut. With the return to this trip in his favour, he's preferred to Duffle Coat, with Dreal Dreal a potential player if he can return to form back over fences.

Grade 2-winning novice hurdle winner NOW IS THE HOUR (nap) should be able to go one better than on chasing debut at Cork.

16:50 Down Royal Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The value may lie with TANGENTAL, who went well for a long way over further at Navan before being slightly hampered and carried right three out. The eight-year-old may have weakened into fourth on that occasion, but he was well backed and this could be the day to catch him over a more suitable distance. Twice a winner over the smaller obstacles this season, Don't Talk returns to fences off a 15lb lower mark than his timber figure so must enter calculations, along with recent Limerick scorer He Fitz In.

TANGENTAL offered more over fences at Navan when last seen 3 months ago and could be the way to go in a thin handicap. Hunt Museum is interesting now handicapping for his top owner, while Limerick-winner He Fitz In can go well again.

With a recent hurdles run under his belt it could pay to take a chance on DON'T TALK off a 15lb lower chase mark

17:25 Down Royal Handicap Chase 26f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

In open event, marginal preference is for ATACANTER, who was a close second off a 2lb lower mark over an extended 3m at Limerick a few weeks ago. The Abbey ran well when fourth in Listed company at Leopardstown on his most recent outing and that form suggests that he may be the main threat to the selection, although Routine Excellence and Marronstown could also go well.

ATACANTER came clear of the rest when second at Limerick 3 weeks ago and, with a performance of similar merit, he might well be able to go one better. Routine Excellence and The Abbey could pose the main threats.

A C&D winner who ran a cracker on his return at Leopardstown, THE ABBEY can improve enough from that run to score.

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.
