14:05 Down Royal Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Cornahilt Soldier is a contender if judged on her 7f stroll here rather than her subsequent Fairyhouse defeat over 1m4f, but she comes up against some interesting handicap debutants. The pick of the bunch could be PRESENCE, who looks nicely treated after her Dundalk fourth in a race won by the classy Port Fairy. My Mate Tony starts off on a low rating, and Model Approach is another to enter the equation in first-time blinkers.

PRESENCE gets the tentative vote on her handicap debut. Cornahilt Soldier, Galician Girl and My Mate Tony are others to note and a market move for the last-named would be particularly interesting.

This could boil down to a battle involving handicap newcomers from good homes. A tentative vote goes to Natalia Lupini's PUNTA COCO

14:40 Down Royal Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOT JUST ANY EAGLE fared best of those ridden off the pace when finishing an eye-catching third after meeting trouble in running over an extended 1m1f at Gowran earlier this month. Stepping up in trip off an unchanged mark, he may be tough to stop. Explorers Way shaped with promise on just his third start for this yard when finishing third over 1m2f at Navan latest, and he is respected off the same mark. Limestone Red should appreciate going up in distance and is noted too.

CHOPSTICKS has races in him and could be the way to go. Not Just Any Eagle and Explorers Way are also high on the shortlist.

This looks like a good chance for four-time AW winner EXPLORERS WAY to record a first turf win following a pleasing third at Navan

(1) Fiver Friday 16/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in June. Last of 6 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good, 17/2) 6 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Easy to put a line through latest effort and he'd been in top form prior to that.

Hasna

4.5
9/2(-100%)
(5) Hasna 9/2, Won 12-runner maiden (3/1) at Naas (10.4f, soft) 54 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Pedigree points to ongoing improvement and, while the handicapper hasn't been lenient with her opening mark, she should feature.

15:15 Down Royal Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HASNA looked a decent sort when winning on her second start by a couple of lengths at Naas and although she is making her handicap debut here, a mark of 87 may underestimate the daughter of Sea The Moon. Lady Doris was caught late on over 1m4f last time out at Fairyhouse but has a better chance of lasting home over this trip, leaving top-weight Fiver Friday as an interesting alternative, with jockey Robert Whearty claiming 5lb from the saddle.

LADY DORIS is progressing and, having been collared late over 1m4f last time, she's likely to take another step forward back down in trip, so she's preferred to Hasna, who is open to further improvement on the back of her Naas maiden success. Mo Ghille Mar can't be ruled out.

Caught on the line over 1m4f at Fairyhouse last time after going clear, the lightly-raced LADY DORIS can make amends back to this trip

(9) Going Remote 6/1, Good second of 7 in handicap at Navan (10.2f, good, 17/2) 14 days ago. Arrives in excellent form and should get the longer trip, so looks a major player.
On visual impressions should get this trip, a pedigree assessment makes that less certain.

(6) Barnso 6/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (13/2) at Fairyhouse (10f, good to soft) 23 days ago by ½ length from Going Remote. Longer trip is no issue and he should do better still.

15:55 Down Royal Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Glor Tire won in good style over the extended 1m1f at Gowran Park last time and she looks primed to offer another bold bid, but a 7lb penalty will make life tougher. Therefore, preference is for PSALM, who is one of two saddled by Aidan O'Brien in this and he can shed his maiden tag on his handicap debut. This son of Sea The Stars is likely to appreciate this extra yardage and he was unlucky to be collared late over 1m2f at Cork last month. Gibbs Island is also of interest.

OCEAN OF DREAMS looked an excellent prospect when scoring on debut last year and, while he's yet to fully build on it, he took a positive step last time and is worth a chance to prove himself better than a mark of 90 with cheekpieces on for his handicap debut. Going Remote and Gibbs Island are dangers and Glor Tire can't be dismissed given how much she's already improved this season.

Aidan O'Brien mounts a two-pronged challenge. OCEAN OF DREAMS is put forward as a colt who can improve over this trip

16:30 Down Royal Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Charlie Luciano came out best in a three-way photo at Fairyhouse, but the margin of victory was such that a 4lb rise could find him out. El C Wells also prevailed only narrowly on her debut for Paul Mulligan at Navan, whereas NUMIDIA had six lengths to spare over the runner-up when triumphant at Fairyhouse. He clearly relished the half-mile rise to 1m4f that day, and this slightly extra yardage shouldn't inconvenience him at all in his follow-up mission.

CHARLIE LUCIANO showed a good attitude to prevail at Fairyhouse last time and, having gone up 4 lb, he's worth a chance to follow up from the front again. Fellow last-time-out winners Numidia and El C Wells are obvious dangers and Gordons Aura is one to consider back on the level.

Three last-time-out winners clash. NUMIDIA bolted up at Fairyhouse and may cope with a 12lb rise

17:10 Down Royal Maiden 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Lily Hart will no doubt improve for last month's reappearance when finding one too good over 1m2f. The Ballydoyle filly should be bang there at the finish, but YES OUI SI may edge this having posted her best effort so far when upped to 1m4f at the Curragh, finishing a respectable third. Dark Oak is another going the right way judged on last week's placed effort at Fairyhouse and is preferred of the rest.

LILY HART left her 2-y-o debut effort well behind upped to 1¼m in a maiden at the Curragh last month and, with further improvement likely now that she takes another step up in trip, the Galileo filly will take plenty of stopping. Dark Oak could be the one for the forecast, albeit Yes Oui Si also commands respect.

LILY HART almost justified favouritism in a Curragh maiden over 1m2f. She can improve from that and score up to this trip.

17:45 Down Royal Maiden 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAGICAL ZOE proved herself to not be out of place in Listed company when finishing fifth on her first start on the Flat at Cork last time. Henry De Bromhead's classy hurdler will find this a lot easier and she looks difficult to oppose. The main threat might be Neptunes Staircase, who has finished second on his last three starts when competing in maiden company, although Stariam has also knocked hard on the door and should break through sooner rather than later.

It's hard to look beyond MAGICAL ZOE, a smart hurdler who didn't shape at all badly on debut in this sphere in a listed race at Cork. Nucky Johnson is taken to follow the selection home, with both Stariam and Neptunes Staircase likely to be on the premises, too.

Henry de Bromhead set the bar high for smart hurdler MAGICAL ZOE(nap) on her first Flat run and she can avail of this drop in class

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.
