LTO Selection:

14:15 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NT FIELD MINNESOTA kicks on over hurdles now having been turned over at a short price on her 'track' debut at Tramore. The Flemensfirth mare was no match for Grannys Yaris at the business end last month but may do a bit better now tackling jumps. She was a point-to-point winner at Dromahane in April. Gone For Tea looks an obvious contender having won a bumper at Bellewstown at the end of last month but has a winner's penalty to carry for that success. Bayonetta was narrowly denied here on her penultimate outing and has been consistent so she's another for the shortlist.

NT FIELD MINNESOTA failed to measure up to market expectations on her Rules debut in a Tramore bumper last month, but she may well be seen in a better light now tackling hurdles. Willie Mullins' charge is marginally preferred to Fathom Five, who didn't do much wrong when third in a C&D novice recently and he needs considering. Gone For Tea is worth a second look given what he showed in bumpers, while Bayonetta is also shortlisted.

The sole bumper winner in the field GONE FOR TEA can make a winning start over hurdles, chiefly at the expense of Fathom Two

14:50 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GWAN TADHG was unlucky to bump into a massive gamble in Anyway on his last visit here but has been an easy winner himself since and could grab another victory back at this course. The Frozen Fire gelding had won over course and distance last month before finishing second back here just over a fortnight later. Only two days after that he won with ease at Bellewstown and the progressive six-year-old is fancied to defy a 8lb hike for that victory. Invictus World won over two-miles-five here on his penultimate start and ran well when dropped back in trip at Down Royal on his handicap debut. He could be a danger. Como Park was a promising fourth on his hurdling debut at Navan. He hasn't really built on that in two starts this summer but could make an impression now trying handicap company.

Dual Flat winner COMO PARK has displayed promise in a trio maiden hurdles since joining this yard and he is taken to make a winning handicap debut in this sphere. Gwan Tadhg has been in good form since returning from a break last month and is greatly respected, while Gladiatorial is also shortlisted. Fassbender could also feature, provided he is able to build on his latest effort here.

This looks competitive for the grade but COMO PARK could be in a different league having shaped with promise in maiden hurdles

LTO Selection:

15:25 Downpatrick Handicap Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MORRICONE showed improvement on better ground at Tramore last month and may be able to land a moderate contest now. The Shantou gelding is still relatively unexposed sort and it was a better performance from him to chase home Boskill Borden last time. No Show opened his hurdling account when scoring down in Wexford a fortnight ago and has to be respected off a 6lb higher mark. Cullenwaine has hinted at some ability and is another that could be open to some improvement.

MORRICONE travelled with purpose and left previous efforts behind when runner-up at Tramore last month, so he's a solid choice to go one better at the possible expense of No Show, a comfortable winner at Wexford a fortnight ago. Resilient Front is a notable handicap debutant if the market vibes are right.

It was a much improved effort from MORRICONE when runner-up at Tramore last time and he looks capable of further progress

16:00 Downpatrick Maiden Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SEA MUSIC could be a bit better than this grade and a mark of 116 doesn't look harsh at all for what is effectively his handicap debut. The Sea Moon gelding looked like a smart sort when winning his maiden hurdle in Ballinrobe over a furlong further. He didn't beat a strong field then but couldn't have done it much better. Howaya C D And E has been knocking on the door and has bumped into a few decent sorts. She should be thereabouts again, providing she jumps off. Ringdufferin chased home hotpot Reverend Hubert in a maiden hurdle here last time and is fitted with cheekpieces now for his handicap debut. Gordon Elliott's charge looks one for the shortlist as well.

LUMINOUS LIGHT was in the process of running a good race when coming down at the last at Ballinrobe last time and is taken to bounce back in style here. Clifftop is weighted to go well so rates the main danger ahead of Sea Music who has the scope for further progress.

16:35 Downpatrick Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BONARC has experience over fences and this looks like a nice opportunity for the Arcadio mare who has a chase mark of 105. This race is restricted to horses with a mark of 102 or less over hurdles so it is a nice fit for her and having the mares allowance is a big asset. She was fourth in a similar contest, but for horses rated 116 or less, at Tramore on her penultimate start. This is a nice starting point for Ceanndana over fences as he has a mark of 102 after two wins over hurdles. The Leading Light gelding may just want a bit further than this though. Colonel Bellew is another that has to be respected. The Kingston Hill gelding was placed here over hurdles on his last visit and the yard's horses often improve for going chasing.

WILL YOU WIN came down early at Tramore last time but is taken to confirm her chasing debut promise now at the chief expense of Ceanndana who goes chasing on the back of a Killarney hurdles success. Fellow fencing newcomer Jenny Flex is in good hands and another who merits respect in an open contest.

LTO Selection:

17:10 Downpatrick Handicap Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CAVE COURT landed a gamble to get off the mark at Perth in August and having followed up over hurdles here subsequently, is now rated 14lb lower reverting to fences. All his best form is over much shorter distances, which is a small concern, but he is nicely ahead of the handicapper. C'Est Quelqu'un has done well for Gordon Elliott recently, is ground-versatile, likes this distance and looks sure to run a good race, although might struggle to beat the selection. The 27-race maiden Gali Flight finished six and a half lengths ahead of Some Dove (now tried in first-time cheekpieces) at Tramore latest and is now 9lb better off, so should confirm superiority. Room To Roam has been running well in similar races, while Agirlcalledchloe is a 20-race maiden but also has placed form at this level.

C'EST QUELQU'UN is making good strides since joining Gordon Elliott and fancied to defy a 9 lb hike in the weights and follow up his recent Tramore success. Cave Court rates the chief threat now reverted to fences on the back of his recent Down Royal victory, with Some Dove and Room To Roam appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Outran odds of 20-1 in valuable Punchestown bumper and that's likely to be the best form.

Getawat filly; dam half-sister to useful winners; yard flying in bumpers this term.
LTO Selection:

17:45 Downpatrick NH Flat Race 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WESTERN FOLD ran really well in Punchestown's valuable Goffs Defender Bumper in April. A 82,000-euro store purchase, he showed real promise on debut and while the form is untested with most of the runners being unraced, it is a traditionally strong race and the eighth-placed horse has since won twice, including a bumper. Wrecking Ballbilly has run well in two good bumpers to date. Runner-up in a fast-run Killarney bumper on debut (from which the third and fourth later won bumpers at the Galway Festival and the Curragh), he failed to concede 4lb to a subsequent winners' bumper victor at Perth. Willie Mullins might have other ideas with Get In Line. By a prominent jumps sire, her bumper-winning dam is a half-sister to two winners and while she represents a yard in unstoppable form, will nevertheless have to go a bit to win. Hypersonic Missile has form but needs to improve.

GET IN LINE is out of a bumper winner and with a yard that dominates this sphere, so she's a confident choice to make a successful start if the market speaks in her favour. Western Fold is the clear pick of those with experience and Wrecking Ballbilly isn't without a chance following a good second at Perth.

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.
