17:10 Galway Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MYSTICAL POWER makes his jumping debut and is hard to go past. He is regally bred being by Galileo out of the top-class mare Annie Power, and comfortably landed a bumper at Ballinrobe in May. Afterwards, jockey Patrick Mullins commented that he had plenty of jumping done and jumps well. He bids to enhance Willie Mullins' fine record in this race. There should be plenty more to come from Samui after he asserted to win over flights at Tramore last month. He is one of three representatives from Gordon Elliott's stable. John McConnell's Hypotenus was beaten into second at odds-on at Cork, but he also finished runner-up in a Grade 3 juvenile hurdle at Fairyhouse in February which shows what he is capable of.

A useful performer on the level in France, HYPOTENUS has shown more than enough in 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles to think a race of this nature is a mere formality and he gets the nod to put it all together and come out on top. Mystical Power, a son of Annie Power, needs considering now hurdling following success in bumpers, whilst Samui is another on the shortlist following his hurdles success at Tramore in June.

The John McConnell-trained HYPOTENUS has graded form and comes here after losing a Cork maiden hurdle he should have won

17:40 Galway Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DARKENED won this race by a nose last year off the same mark of 109. Daniel King claims 5lb and his mount returns to Galway after a solid third place on the Flat in Killarney, so another big run looks likely. A recent staying-on second in a Flat handicap at Leopardstown should have brought One Cool Poet to the boil. He certainly loves Ballybrit and has claims with James Smith taking 7lb off his back. Mark Fahey's stable is in terrific form and Largy Gift could be a useful recruit for him after he routed the field by 19 lengths in a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle last month. Boom Boom Boom was far from outclassed in fifth in a much higher grade at Listowel in June and the cheekpieces that were deployed then are retained.

Lots with chances but ONE COOL POET comes here on the back of a good recent run on the level at Leopardstown so is fancied to capitalise on an attractive mark returned to this sphere. Handicap-debutant Bukhill looks to have more to offer and heads the list of dangers, with last year's winner Darkened and handily-weighted Neveradullmoment two more who are firmly in the picture.

Preference is for BIG ISLAND, a previous C&D winner and who handles soft

18:10 Galway Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There is plenty of rain forecast for Galway, so this seven-furlong assignment is going to take plenty of getting. AIR COMMANDER made a pleasing debut in second on yielding ground at the Curragh and ought to progress. He holds plenty of big-race entries and is related to two winners who were more than capable on testing ground. The 93-rated Mythology is sure to be popular. He was a close third on debut at the Curragh and didn't run badly at all in fifth when upped in class for a Group 2 at the same track. He was last seen finishing runner-up over this trip on soft ground at the Curragh, and he has plenty of notable entries. The penny dropped late for Beauty Thunder when sixth over 6f in Fairyhouse. This step up in trip promises to suit and he is by a sire who is getting soft-ground winners. Sea The Stars colt Sea The Polaris made a pretty penny at the sales and represents a strong stable on debut.

AIR COMMANDER made an encouraging start to his career at Gowran last month and is taken to improve past Joseph O'Brien's Mythology in a maiden which may develop into a straight fight between the pair unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Paddy Twomey newcomer Sea The Polaris.

The selection is MYTHOLOGY who ran into a high quality Ballydoyle newcomer at the Curragh but was very much at home over this trip

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

TEED UP has a formidable record in Galway where his form figures across Flat and hurdle races read '21121'. The deluge of rain on Sunday is ideal for him and he had a perfect comeback race when second at Tramore just under three weeks ago. Ray Barron takes 7lb off his back, so he is on a very handy weight. Patrick Mullins ticked this race off last year and should have another good spin on former Swedish St Leger winner Lot of Joy who has been keeping very lofty company over hurdles. Hms Seahorse can get into a powerful rhythm on slow ground and is well in the hunt for a cheque. Line Out is entitled to come on plenty from his first run in more than 20 months when unplaced on the Flat at the Curragh. He has good assistance in the saddle.

TEED UP won over hurdles at this meeting last year and might be able to repeat the feat on the Flat on the back of a very promising reappearance second at Tramore 3 weeks ago. Willie Mullins has a cracking recent record in this so Scaramanga and Lot of Joy rate threats. The Very Man and Burren Song also make the shortlist.

A sporting selection goes to 2021 Cesarewitch winner LINE OUT who ran well at the Curragh after a long time off and should be spot on

19:15 Galway Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RHYTHM KING revels in heavy ground - which is likely to be a crucial asset, and has useful form. Runner-up as a juvenile over today's course and distance, he was unsuited by six furlongs at Naas in May and while might ideally prefer a mile as a three-year-old, his ability to excel on testing ground is key. The Snapper is similarly suited by testing ground and while he has recent form, is held by the selection on Bellewstown form in April and course form last October. Rio Largo is in good form and received a bump when beaten 9.75 lengths by the selection on heavy ground at Bellewstown. La Tulipe Noire ran well on recent reappearance run and while dropping in distance isn't ideal, coped with heavy ground as a juvenile. Lovejoy loves soft but was well beaten recently and is woefully drawn in 18 while Rumbled Again is drawn 17 and would prefer good ground. Biggerthanbigtime is long absent but has form on soft while Not Just Yet is ground-versatile but was reported to have 'never travelled' on a recent run. Rathbranchurch is trip and ground-versatile.

LA TULIPE NOIRE got firmly back on track following 6 months off when runner-up at Ballinrobe 7 days ago, likely to have pushed the winner closer still but for conceding ground around the home turn. She earns the vote in the hope a quick turnaround doesn't catch her out. Rhythm King is also of interest back from a break and needs considering. Rumbled Again and Rio Largo complete the shortlist.

Preference is for THE SNAPPER (nap) who has run well over shorter trips last twice but won over trip and ground at Cork in the spring

19:50 Galway Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EXPELLIARMUS is unproven on testing ground but is unexposed. She showed promise at Navan in June and while well beaten when ridden from off the pace over a mile at the Curragh subsequently, received minor bumps and was eased when all hope was lost. Connections claim 7lb and her half-brother Common Practise improved dramatically at this distance and, notably, liked soft ground. Teorie has consistent maiden form and while the form of his soft-ground Leopardstown win is nothing special, is nonetheless interesting on handicap debut. Immutable revels in testing ground and is in-form but has plenty weight while Voice Of Reason narrowly won a recent maiden but encounters testing ground for the first time. Youcrackmeup was 9lb out of the handicap when running well at Limerick but has been hit by the handicapper and is without her 5lb claimer, dropping in distance and reverting to testing ground. In-form Booyea would prefer good ground while Ikigai Star was well held on handicap debut. Pearl Of Australia was reported to have hung right at Down Royal but has previously beaten Astar (which debuts in handicaps) at Roscommon.

YOUCRACKMEUP arrives in top form and, having only found one too good at Limerick last month, she gets the marginal vote in a competitive race. Voice of Reason has the potential for better and Booyea is likely to be involved once again.

Jim Bolger's horses have hit form and recent Leopardstown winner TEORIE appeals here on his handicap debut

20:20 Galway NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHOOT CHAMPAGNE showed promise on debut. Well-related, she handled easy ground at Cork (Money To Burn finished fourth) and while beaten 1.5 lengths, powered home and looks sure to improve. The Cork winner had previously chased home Lionnar, which finished fourth in a hot Killarney bumper which ties the selection's form to closely-matched pair Wrecking Ballbilly and My Great Mate. That Killarney race was run at a fast pace and both are capable. Hypersonic Missile was bought for 34,000 pounds following an English point-to-point bumper win last March, with the runner-up subsequently finishing second in a Plumpton bumper. Topgun Simmy ran well in an April sales' race but runs in a first-time tongue-tie, which is a possible negative. If You Let Me won an April point-to-point but faces a tough task. Arctic Gale's (a half-brother to a staying winner) connections target Galway and nicely bred Pinyon Jay represents Gordon Elliott but both will need to be smart to win on debut. Master Otis needs to improve while Where's My Jet has pointing form.

MY GREAT MATE shaped with encouragement at Killarney on debut and, with improvement anticipated, he's the one to beat although Pinyon Jay is an interesting newcomer for Gordon Elliott. Wrecking Ballbilly is another one to consider.

Plenty with chances with preference for the filly SHOOT CHAMPAGNE on the back of a very promising Cork debut

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.

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.
