15:15 Down Royal Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Flash The Cash (tenth) and OXFORD ROCK (seventh) met in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot in June and although neither have been able to score subsequently, they both hold strong claims. Marginal preference is for the latter, though, who finished a creditable third over 6f at Naas recently. The Starspangledbanner filly weakened late on that day suggesting she will appreciate dropping to the minimum trip. Others to note include Sharkii and Lightning Bear.

LIGHTNING BEAR made a really promising start to his career when third at Cork and fitted with cheekpieces, he may well improve beyond the level set by Flash The Cash and Oxford Rock.

A few with claims and SHARKII, who has shown a consistent level of form over this trip, gets a tentative vote.

15:50 Down Royal Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It's hard to get away from BETSEN judged on ratings alone in this contest. The three-year-old is 16lb superior than his closest rival Mint Man and looks to have been found a golden opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Ukiyo ran better than her odds suggested she would when seventh on debut at the Curragh and she could improve to get closer, while any market support for newcomer Shelbourne Flyer would be interesting.

BETSEN has been a little expensive to follow so far but he possesses more than his share of ability for a race like this and there should be no excuses this time. Mint Man is the obvious danger unless there's confidence behind newcomer Shelbourne Flyer.

There are obvious question marks over BETSEN after his last two performances but he is given another chance to get his head in front

16:25 Down Royal Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BERTO RAMIREZ pipped Red Scarlet to the runner-up berth at Leopardstown, with Invincibletomorrow hot on their heels. David Marnane's youngster didn't have the best of passages through the race so, although his superiority was only marginal, he is fancied to confirm it. The return to 7f will aid the cause of Saint Brandon, who was second over this trip at the Galway Festival. Smoke Them Out has to be respected, while State Of Joy is the most interesting of the newcomers.

RED SCARLET improved on her debut form and left the impression she can do better still when third in a Leopardstown maiden 2 weeks ago. She shades the vote, with Berto Ramirez, who finished one place ahead of the selection on that occasion rating the chief threat. Invincibletomorrow and Gangsta Man complete the shortlist.

BERTO RAMIREZ could be hard to beat having gone close in a Leopardstown maiden last time out

17:00 Down Royal Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THE MARTY PARTY showed a big improvement when runner-up at Killarney on his nursery debut and Joseph O'Brien's Starspangledbanner colt looks capable of scoring off his current mark on that evidence. Weegeebear made his handicap debut with a better effort at the Curragh and this extra distance looks likely to suit, while Amber Blossom is the type to improve now handicapping and she shouldn't be underestimated. Katie Ross and Roaming Eyes could also go well.

This can go to THE MARTY PARTY, who showed much improved form switched to positive tactics when second on nursery debut at Killarney 2 weeks ago and the drop back down in trip won't inconvenience him on that evidence. Weegeebear and Kitty Bear are others to consider,

THE MARTY PARTY was well found in the market ahead of his h'cap debut last time when narrowly denied and he showed enough speed for 7f

17:30 Down Royal Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A tricky puzzle to solve, with many hoping to improve for the switch to handicap company, but RUNNINSONOFAGUN shades the verdict. He won easier than the three-parts-of-a-length margin suggests in maiden claiming company over 1m at Navan and dropping back in trip shouldn't pose any problems, with similar front-running tactics likely to be adopted. Allenwood is 2lb lower than when placed on her handicap debut at Sligo and she warrants respect, while James The Second also holds claims.

The vote goes to RUNNINSONOFAGUN, who made all when opening his account in a maiden claimer at Navan last week and he looks capable of following up on this nursery debut off what is probably a fair mark. Allenwood and James The Second rate the main dangers but also look out for Sir Jeremy.

ALLENWOOD stayed on for third at Sligo on handicap debut last month and her pedigree offers hope for improvement at this new trip

18:05 Down Royal Handicap 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Zoffanien has run well in defeat in competitive races the last twice and the seven-year-old is likely to be in the mix once again. That said, preference is for SCEPTRED ISLE, who arrives here on the back of victories at Tipperary and Leopardstown. A 5lb rise for the most recent of those wins may underestimate the daughter of Cityscape as she is clearly progressing. Others who make the shortlist are Wisdomofhindsight, Belgoprince and Astar.

Preference is for BARNACULLIA, who took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Bellewstown recently and, just 2 lb higher than for his Leopardstown success last summer, he's on a workable mark. Zoffanien has acquitted himself well in handicaps at Galway and Killarney since returned to this sphere and looks sure to be involved once more, while Belgoprince is also shortlisted.

This test might suit RAIN who ran well over 2m at the Curragh but was a fair fifth at Clonmel on Thursday; Zoffanien is next best

18:40 Down Royal Handicap 11f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Arch Enemy filled the runner-up spot at Leopardstown on her latest outing and it would be no surprise to see her go close off 2lb higher. However, it may pay to side with AVATAR JET, who hit the line well to finish fourth over 7f at Leopardstown last time, shaping as if this step up in trip could bring out some improvement. French Company is another to consider.

EXPLORERS WAY is enjoying an excellent year and fancied to bag win number four on the back of his good recent Leopardstown third. In-form Arch Enemy is next on the list in her bid to end a long losing sequence, with Avatar Jet and Bright N Shine also in the picture.

A course and distance winner in June, EXPLORERS WAY (nap) has lost little caste in defeat since and can get back to winning ways

19:10 Down Royal Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RED SECRET's drought stretches back more than four years, but his performances last month to take third at Tramore and Navan suggested that his turn could finally be near again. Colin Keane is an interesting booking for Honrado, who signed off his time with Michael Bell with a Ripon second and has a tongue-tie and blinkers fitted for his Irish debut. Enquire Within is fancied to run her usual honest race and was actually just ahead of the selection last time.

Lots with chances but ALBION PRINCESS is worth siding with to capitalise on a reduced mark having hinted at a revival when third at Dundalk last time. The handily-weighted Red Secret can also have a big say, while Figurehead and Enquire Within both need factoring into this open handicap too.

Not many of these arrive in good form and ENQUIRE WITHIN could be the one after a narrow defeat at Navan last week from 2lb lower

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.
