(2) Lady Of The Vale 2.5/1, Fair hurdler. Career best when winning 14-runner novice hurdle (10/11) at Tipperary (16f, good) 15 days ago, edging ahead latter stages. Needs to keep the errors at bay if she's to play a lead role here.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Down Royal Conditions Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FINEST EVERMORE has been absent since scoring off a mark of 137 at Killarney in August, but a reproduction of that level of form on her return would make her hard to beat. Tuesday's Ballinrobe winner Media Naranja is an obvious threat to the selection if over those exertions. Lady Of The Vale is another last-time-out winner to note, while Shesadream scored in this race 12 months ago and is the pick of the remainder.

FINEST EVERMORE displayed a fine attitude when adding to her tally at Killarney in August, and whilst absent since, she's hard to oppose on these favourable terms with her leading yard continuing in fine form. The Gordon Elliott trained pair Media Naranja and Shesadream head up the dangers.

Despite the drop in trip, FINEST EVERMORE should have enough class to see off the Elliott pair Shesadream and Media Naranja

LTO Selection:

18:00 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This can go the way of MASTER SPLINTER, who ran a highly encouraging race on his Rules debut at Limerick last week and is entitled to improve for the experience. Placed on two of his three career outings, Valsorpresa can give the selection the most to think about, along with Bowmore, who returns from a 158-day absence. Pahlavi and Pro Bono are open to progression as well.

VALSORPRESA shaped better than the bare result in a bumper last time and is worth another chance to confirm hurdle-debut promise back in this sphere. Bowmore stepped up on debut when fifth in a big field at Leopardstown and rates a serious threat with further improvement on the cards, with Master Splinter best of the others.

Not a strong maiden and perhaps VALSORPRESA can take this if back to the level of his hurdles debut run at Naas

LTO Selection:

18:30 Down Royal Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STADIUM TALK, who won a Ballinaboola point-to-point before making a successful NH Rules debut in a bumper at Hexham last month, is a strong candidate to get off the mark over timber at the first time of asking. The daughter of Soldier Of Fortune is a half-sister to a hurdles winner over this sort of trip and ticks all the right boxes today. Shajak appears to be the chief threat, while Noble Blue and Ochocinco are others to monitor in the betting.

Useful Flat performer SHAJAK made an encouraging hurdling debut under a considerate ride when fifth at Killarney 19 days ago and looks a certain improver with that under his belt, so he's fancied to make his second start in this sphere a winning one. Marv Michael and bumper-winner Stadium Talk head the opposition.

A listed-placed performer on the Flat, SHAJAK could be the one to beat here on his favoured ground

LTO Selection:

19:00 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

I AM SPIDER MAN was very well supported in the market when falling on his stable debut at Clonmel last month and he could be worth chancing to put that mishap behind him here. Recent chase winner Lakefield Flyer looks to have more races in him and the five-year-old isn't taken lightly now returned to hurdles. Serpolette is 2lb lower than last season's triumph at Tramore and she is another to note.

LAKEFIELD FLYER was value for more than the winning margin having idled when clear on his chasing debut at Downpatrick 2 weeks ago and there's no reason why he shouldn't continue to go the right way back over hurdles, so he's selected to follow up. Toor Moment and Movie King both shaped well on their most recent outings and warrant respect.

It was an encouraging return from VAL THE MAN and with progress likely stepping up in trip, he's taken to make a winning h'cap debut

LTO Selection:

19:30 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A few with chances, including last year's winner Bravo Team, who returns from a 318-day absence and boasts claims despite being 7lb higher. I Don't Get It continues to progress and merits serious consideration too, though preference is for CEROC. The five-year-old made a winning handicap debut at Cork last month before doubling up at Wexford a fortnight later, and a further 7lb rise might not stop him from completing a hat-trick. Fiveonefive is another to consider.

Preference is for OSSIFER HOPS, who is going the right way and looks fairly treated for his first crack in handicap company. I Don't Get It and Fiveonefive head the list of dangers.

This is competitive but CEROC may be hard to catch in his hat-trick bid having only gone up 7lb for his latest front-running success

LTO Selection:

20:00 Down Royal Handicap Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WALKING THE WALK was a good second last time over the larger obstacles at Wexford and he may have been found a decent opportunity to go one better. Gordon Elliott's charge runs off a 17lb lower mark and he looks primed to go one better than last time. Porky Rush is feared most based on the form he showed on the track last year, while Sulafaat should also be noted following her recent fourth at Downpatrick.

WALKING THE WALK arrives in good form and can take full advantage of his significantly lower hurdles mark here. Kinnegad Lad and Porky Rush make up the shortlist.

WALKING THE WALK (nap) arrives on the back of a career best chase effort and he could be hard to beat from his lower hurdle mark

20:30 Down Royal NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Joseph O'Brien sends out an appealing newcomer in the shape of ROEDORA, whose half-brother San Salvador was a dual winner over hurdles for the yard. This looks a good starting place for the four-year-old and she readily heads the shortlist in a race where several of her rivals may find stamina for the trip is a telling factor. Miss Direct and Hurricane Honey appeal most of those with previous experience, with Mooneys Princess another debutant to bear in mind.

ROEDORA's dam and half-sister both won bumpers and she's with a top handler, so she's preferred to Miss Direct, who showed something to work on when fifth at Cork first time out. Pinky is another notable debutant.

It may be worth taking a chance on ROEDORA who looks like the most interesting of the newcomers for a yard that do well in bumpers

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.
