13:40 Fairyhouse Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BLACKSMITHS FORGE has run well in a couple of maiden hurdles since winning her bumper at Downpatrick back in July and can get off the mark over jumps now. The Kalanisi filly was beaten just over two-and-a-half lengths when fourth to Mexican Moonshine at Roscommon 12 days ago and doesn't have to improve much on that to take this. The selection can again hold Lady Nightingale, who was sixth in that Roscommon race, having been runner-up on her previous outing at Kilbeggan. Whitewinewednesday ran well when third at Tramore last time, although that probably wasn't as strong a race.

BLACKSMITHS FORGE had made a promising enough start to her career over hurdles and, with further improvement anticipated (still looked a little rough around the edges on most recent outing), she's taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. Kilbarry Ce Ce and Lady Nightingale can battle it out for minor honours.

The bar isn't set high at all in this maiden. BLACKSMITHS FORGE (nap) just about boasts the most compelling form credentials.

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

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

BLEU DE VASSY stands out here and should prove hard to beat. The Cokoriko gelding opened his account in fine style when taking a Clonmel bumper in April having been runner-up a couple of times previously. He has jumping experience, having been placed in a point-to-point, and should make a nice staying novice hurdler this season. Blaze The Way was pitched in at the deep end on his hurdling debut, when pulling up in Grade 2 company at Fairyhouse in March. The Getaway gelding had won a bumper at Thurles previously and looks the obvious danger. Fast Felix has a couple of solid enough placed efforts over timber and should pick up prize money again.

BLEU DE VASSY got off the mark in bumpers in comfortable fashion at Clonmel in April and should have a good future over hurdles, so he makes the most appeal. This is a far more suitable assignment for Blaze The Way, who was pitched in the deep end on his hurdling debut here in the spring and should be capable of much better. Teagarden Jazz sets the standard and can't be ignored, either.

Gordon Elliott's BLEU DE VASSY took four goes to win a bumper but he did beat a subsequent winner in the process.

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

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

SHESABREEZE has run a couple of solid races on her most recent starts and looks capable of taking a race of this standard for in-form trainer Eric McNamara. She was dropped a pound after finishing fourth at Sligo on her last outing, in August. She hasn't quite seen out her races on her last two starts and a hood and a drop in trip may do the trick now. U Asking Me improved on previous form when winning in good style at Clonmel nine days ago and has to be respected despite a 8lb hike. Bella Be Good turns out again quickly after a good run to finish third at Galway on Tuesday. She's another for the shortlist.

Having returned to form when third at Galway last time, BELLA BE GOOD may well notch a first career success. U Asking Me has been raised 8 lb for his recent Clonmel victory but recent winning form is at a premium in this contest and he has to be feared. Mr Macphisto is best of the rest.

Preference is for MR MACPHISTO, a dual winner whose second run back after a break was a step forward from his first.

15:25 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STAR HARBOUR is a better horse on the Flat but should be capable of winning a race over hurdles off this kind of mark. The six-year-old has been in fine form on the level this summer, winning three times, and has a mark of 103. His rating of 109 over jumps is lowly in comparison. Son Of Hypnos was a bit too free over fences at Downpatrick last time and is respected returning to hurdles now, having been an easy winner when last seen over timber at Galway. Slieve Bearnagh returns to jumping after a couple of solid runs on the Flat and is another for the shortlist.

STAR HARBOUR is 0-5 over hurdles but he's won three times on the Flat this year and is of interest back in this sphere off a potentially handy mark. Slieve Bearnagh and Inchiquin Star rate the main dangers in that order of preference, while Dame Rapide and Wajaaha both make some each-way appeal.

Preference is for the locally trained MARY'S PRIDE. He has won twice here before, including over C&D, and good ground is fine.

16:05 Fairyhouse Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RAGMANS CORNER has been favourite for his last three starts and made the breakthrough when getting up late to score on good ground at Galway on Tuesday. The Kalanisi gelding, raised 6lb in future handicaps, is just 1lb wrong under his mandatory penalty and can follow up with underfoot conditions likely to be similar. Flashthelights also appreciates good ground and made it two wins from his last four starts at Wexford in August. He is likely to be competitive again off a 5lb higher mark. Dream Escape was well supported when showing improvement at Gowran Park last time, while Cleopatra's Needle, in good form on the Flat earlier this year, could be on a nice mark on her handicap debut.

DREAM ESCAPE is unexposed and, having attracted support, put up a better effort at Gowran last time, so he could step up again and get off the mark at the possible expense of Ragmans Corner, who faces a quick turnaround on the back of his Galway success this week. Flasthelights is another one to consider.

A chance is taken on PAPA BARNS. He was third at this meeting last year, he has run well fresh before and he shaped well at Punchestown

16:40 Fairyhouse NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PAY THE TAB has only raced on soft ground thus far and disappointed in two of his three starts last season including at Down Royal over Christmas. His previous run at the same venue saw him finish a creditable third in a bumper and the runner-up went on to show useful form over hurdles for the Elliott stable. The homebred son of Getaway may be good enough to land an ordinary contest if handling this sounder surface. Coole Cottage ran well in a point-to-point in May and his latest run over hurdles at Listowel wasn't without merit. Trooper Lewis, whose dam won three bumpers before going on to do well on the Flat, is a newcomer to note.

This is distinctly weak and, while PAY THE TAB has a 9-month absence to overcome, a reproduction of the form he showed on his second start should be enough to open his account. Coole Cottage and Navy Guitar look the main threats but both need to up their game.

PAY THE TAB has the best form on offer and should be hard to beat if fit on his return from an absence and handling this ground.

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.
