1.25/1(+44%)
(8) Gunzburg 1.25/1, Promising sort. 11/4, fourth of 9 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 26 days ago. May well do better.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Down Royal Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

After chasing home subsequent Coventry Stakes third Bucanero Fuerte at the Curragh, STURLASSON then found only Noche Magica too good at Cork, and that winner subsequently went agonisingly close in the Marble Hill. Kieran Cotter's juvenile can go one better on the assumption that he doesn't meet anything of that calibre here but, if he does, it could be 160,000-pounds breeze-up purchase Gunzburg, who faded into fourth over 6f on debut. Naas fourth Carnegie Hall rounds out the shortlist.

CARNEGIE HALL and Gunzburg showed promise on debut and might improve past dual runner-up Sturlasson, with the narrow preference for Aidan O'Brien's charge. G'day Mate is a newcomer to monitor in the betting.

The form of the two maidens in which STURLASSON finished runner-up has been boosted since by the winners and he should win.

Marked improvement for drop to 6f latest with 1l success; 5lb higher mark fine; drops to 5.
LTO Selection:

17:25 Down Royal Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

First-time cheekpieces could be what COCO HILL needs to build on a pleasing third over this trip at Tipperary last month and she rates the one to beat. She is now rated 4lb lower than for the aforementioned contest and, with more improvement likely, is taken to get the better of the equally-progressive Sneddy Eddie. So Majestic is another with claims in an intriguing handicap.

SNEDDY EDDIE looked reinvented as a sprinter when successful at Sligo last month and his revised mark may well be within reach. So Majestic and Coco Hill are just a couple of potential threats.

It was a promising return to form from COCO HILL and if she improves for cheekpieces, she could be hard to beat

C&D winner; may have needed both runs this term and back below last winning mark.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Down Royal Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

COLLECTIVE POWER took a step forward when winning a competitive heat at Navan 12 days ago and the gelded son of Slade Power can mount another bold bid from a 7lb raised mark. He gets the nod over Dun Na Sead, who was eased 3lb in the ratings having finished a good third at Tipperary last month. Adnaan should be competitive, while previous C&D winner Ever Rock can't be left out of calculations either.

ADNAAN was shaping well towards the end of last year and he made a respectable reappearance at Naas 89 days ago, so he could get back to winning ways if the race is run to suit. Dun Na Sead and Collective Power look the main dangers.

She's not been at her best in 2 runs this term but EVER ROCK has won over C&D and she will appreciate any rain that arrives

Saddle slipped last week; should cope with the drop in trip as she has early speed.
LTO Selection:

18:35 Down Royal Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Screen Siren could be popular with the punters after scoring with plenty in hand at Navan, but a 10lb rise tempers enthusiasm and MARIA BRANWELL is preferred after a near-miss off the same rating at the Curragh. A Listed winner for David O'Meara in the UK as a juvenile, she looks primed to record her first success for Joseph O'Brien and has conditions to suit. Escaping Thejungle has filled the runner-up berth on her last three starts and should give another good account of herself.

LOVEDAY left the impression she'd come on for her reappearance at Navan and she's on an appealing mark, so she gets the nod ahead of Maria Brawn, who arrives on the back of an excellent second at the Curragh. Escaping Thejungle is another one to consider.

Having been runner-up in this race last year off a 1lb higher mark, CURRAHEEN PRINCESS can go one better today.

LTO Selection:

19:10 Down Royal Listed 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Wordsworth is a fascinating contender on his first start for Josh Halley because he wasn't far off the best three-year-olds in 2021. He did prove a bit costly to follow last season and left Ballydoyle for 43,000gns so perhaps TAIPAN is a safer option, with Jessica Harrington's charge arriving on a high after capitalising on some excellent placing by his connections recently. White Caviar had Mellow Magic in arrears when third in the Vintage Tipple Stakes, although that form was reversed at the Curragh subsequently.

TAIPAN should have had his confidence boosted by wins at a lower level in recent weeks and can complete a hat-trick now stepping back up in class. Wordsworth had a good record when fresh for Aidan O'Brien and will be a danger if reproducing anything like his best form on his return for a new stable. White Caviar just wasn't herself last time and her overall record suggests she can bounce back here and also play a prominent role.

POWERFUL AGGIE is coming off a poor run but with rain in the forecast conditions can suit her, so is the selection.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Down Royal Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STATE'S EVIDENCE makes plenty of appeal, especially being related to a couple of juvenile winners, and Ger Lyons' colt gets the vote on his first career start. Look At The Stars represents leading connections and is another newcomer to note, while Blame Thechampagne is more than capable if returning to form after a below-par performance at Listowel. Others worth considering include Glengarriff, who stepped forward from his first outing when upped in trip, and St Laurence's Gate.

BLAME THECHAMPAGNE is probably worth another chance despite her Listowel disappointment as she'd gone well in a Group 3 prior to that. Look At The Stars and State's Evidence are a couple of interesting newcomers.

BLAME THECHAMPAGNE is probably worth giving another chance to after a big run in Group company last month and she gets weight from most

LTO Selection:

20:15 Down Royal Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Swiss Army Officer is likely to prove popular after his runner-up effort at Cork last Friday, but the eight-year-old may be worth taking on now 5lb higher in the ratings and it could pay to side with the returning EPAULAWN. The gelded son of Epaulette shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when finishing eighth in last year's renewal and the handicapper may have been too lenient in dropping him 11lb. Kratos rates as a viable alternative having been lowered 9lb for his recent seventh-placed effort at Fairyhouse.

Low-grade stuff with SWISS ARMY OFFICER one of a small number arriving in some sort of form and he gets the vote. Wee Pablo and Sunset Nova are a couple of the other players.

SWISS ARMY OFFICER (nap) makes plenty of appeal after his narrow defeat in a much deeper race at Cork last week

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.
