LTO Selection:

13:50 Galway Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

POUR LES FILLES looks a nice sort for novice hurdling this season and can make a winning start over timber. The Pour Moi gelding won a point-to-point on debut last year and was also successful on his first outing for Gordon Elliott in a Leopardstown bumper over Christmas. He ended his campaign with a fine run to finish fifth in the Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April. He'll probably want further than this in time but it looks like a nice starting point. Olympic Man is the obvious danger from the Willie Mullins yard. The Martaline gelding showed promise when third in a strong maiden hurdle here at the festival meeting and is entitled to improve from that. Mullins also saddles Armed And Fabulous, who has shown up well in a few bumpers. She could be place material.

OLYMPIC MAN made a promising start for Willie Mullins after a long absence when third here and can build on it now to fend off Gordon Elliott's interesting hurdling newcomer Pour Les Filles, who brings useful winning bumper form to the table. Armed And Fabulous, a stablemate of the selection, and Tom Kelly can fight it out for minor honours.

Winner of his only point-to-point and of the first of two bumper starts, POUR LES FILLES can make a winning start over hurdles

LTO Selection:

14:25 Galway Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TOMAS O MAILLE has been knocking on the door and may be able to gain a deserved win here. The Arakan gelding has been placed on his last three outings and has been runner-up twice around here. His ability to handle soft ground could prove key. Arctic Ambition is a better horse over fences but has some solid placed form over timber and has to be on the shortlist. He has won on heavy ground in the past so looks versatile. Lake Chad tries to make use of a lower mark back over hurdles and is another that has to come into calculations.

ARCTIC AMBITION rates the pick of these weights so is fancied to bag a third win of the season at the chief expense of in-form maidenTomas O Maille. Lake Chad is on a long losing run but can have a say too along with Killinure Lass, who can build on her reappearance eighth here.

Placed over a range of distances TOMAS O MAILLE may get a winning turn here for his small County Mayo stable

LTO Selection:

15:00 Galway Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The locally-trained GETAWAY MASTER is the suggestion in this open affair. An eyecatcher when a never-nearer fourth on his penultimate start at Kilbeggan, the six-year-old since finished a good third when tried over a much longer trip here early last month. Back down in distance now and off a mark of 80, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end in a contest of this quality. A runner-up on two of her last three starts, Mullins Cross is given second preference. Turned out again quickly after going down by a length at Gowran on Friday, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a place better now. A half-sister to eight-time winner Pakens Rock, Healys Island (first-time tongue-strap) is an interesting contender. A solid third on her handicap debut at Kilbeggan last month, she is open to further progress. Top-weight Young Fitzy and John Ryan's Kilashee are other leading hopes.

You have to go back to August 2021 for when MULLINS CROSS gained her sole success from 25 starts over hurdles, but she's been in good heart of late and looks ready to strike having found just one too good off this mark in a 15-runner Gowran handicap last week. Getaway Master's last two efforts have been his best to date and he is second choice ahead of Young Fitzy.

Friday's Gowran second Mullins Cross is respected but she may not cope with YOUNG FITZY who defied a 7lb higher mark here in 2021

Won this event last year, meets Feronily on 18lb worse than handicap terms, vulnerable.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Galway Conditions Chase 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With a rating of 155, FERONILY is the one to beat. He defeated a quality field when taking a Grade 1 at Punchestown last season, providing Emmet Mullins and Donagh Meyler with their first success at the highest level. Last seen finishing a solid fifth in the French Champion Hurdle at Auteuil in May, the six-year-old starts off in the colours of JP McManus now. Frontal Assault won this race 12 months ago and has run some good races in defeat since. Fifth in the Troytown and sixth in the Thyestes, he should be able to put his experience to good use. Lucid Dreams impressed at Sligo last week and it'll be interesting to see how he fares stepping up in class. My Design faces a stiff task but isn't without a squeak, getting weight from her three rivals and with Ray Barron claiming 7lb.

Provided all is well following a break, FERONILY will prove very hard to beat. He showed plenty in bumpers and over hurdles, but there was immediate improvement when switched to fences during the spring, finishing second in a Cork Grade 3 prior to a top-level success at the Punchestown Festival. This unexposed 6-y-o almost certainly has more to offer as a chaser. Lucid Dreams scored in good style on his debut in this sphere at Sligo and is next best ahead of My Design.

This should be fairly straightforward for FERONILY who is very much favoured by the race conditions on his first start in these colours

LTO Selection:

16:10 Galway Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS was the best of these over flights and looks the one to beat as he tackles fences for the first time. He won a valuable Grade B contest at the Dublin Racing Festival in February and while most effective over further, he was successful in a two-mile bumper on debut. Patrick Mullins will don his own silks aboard Meetingofthewaters, with this six-year-old an interesting contender on his debut for current connections. A dual winner over flights when in the care of Eugene O'Sullivan, he could come into his own over the larger obstacles. Itswhatunitesus won three of his first five starts, but has been very disappointing since. Returning from a break, though, he should be able to make his presence felt. A winner at the Festival here in July, Neveradullmoment warrants respect, while Japers Jack looks the best of the rest.

PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS was last seen landing a competitive handicap hurdle at Leopardstown and he's the type to take to chasing, so he gets the nod ahead of Meetingofthewaters, who is also having a first try over fences having moved to a powerful stable. Itswhatunitesus can't be ruled out despite an underwhelming performance last time.

Gavin Cromwell's PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS showed his standout form over hurdles at 3m but he's not short of speed.

(1) Born By The Sea 9/2, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, thirteenth of 17 in handicap chase at Listowel (24f, soft) 13 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Others are more appealing.
Useful stayer; can cope with this trip and it's his best opportunity for a while.

(6) Battle Of Mirbat 5/2, 1 win from 3 runs this season. 9/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Wexford (25.3f, good to soft) 105 days ago, driven out. Down in trip. Should go well again.
His Wexford win was over 3m1f and he's reportedly better going left handed.

John Ryan is certainly not letting THE LITTLE YANK rest on his laurels but the eight-year-old takes his racing well and might get a turn here. After a couple of creditable spins over hurdles at Listowel, the Westerner gelding ran close to his mark in a conditions chase at Sligo last week and earlier in the summer had Pats Choice back in fourth when runner-up in a valuable handicap at Killarney. Pats Choice had previously been a fortunate winner at Wexford when left in front by a last-fence faller who was clear but his course-and-distance third at the festival in August was a decent effort. Take All had been off eleven weeks before running out of steam at Listowel and this drop in trip will suit but 2m2f looks too sharp for Grand National sixth Born By The Sea.

Having run well from out of the handicap at this course a couple of months ago, PATS CHOICE is fancied to capitalise on this better opportunity. The Little Yank and Battle of Mirbat arrive in form and are regarded as serious dangers.

A tight handicap. BORN BY THE SEA has a good bit of class about him and this is probably his best opening for a while.

DEE CAPO has been strong in the market on both outings and showed plenty of promise when sixth in a valuable sales bumper at the Fairyhouse Easter meeting. Gordon Elliott's charge was a disappointing fifth at Navan after a five month layoff but should be sharper for the outing and deserves another chance. Sea The Stars gelding Sattam made the running when second to an Elliott-trained newcomer at Leopardstown in March and the winner landed a Listed bumper at Limerick on his next outing. Threesheetstothwind was beaten a long way when fifth at Bellewstown and needs to leave that debut effort a long way behind. It's interesting to see Patrick Mullins on board Jeu Du Pic who cost 100,000 Euros at the Derby Sale and is from a useful French family.

JEU DE PIC is out of a French bumper winner and is the subject of a notable jockey booking, so he might be able to open his account at the first attempt. Sattam and Dee Capo have both achieved a fair level of form, so they should also be on the premises.

A weak bumper. DEE CAPO and Sattam bring the strongest form and the Elliott contender has the benefit of a recent run.

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.
