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

LISTENHERETOMEJACK should benefit from a recent reappearance run and might follow up last year's win. A half-length winner from Derridae in last year's renewal, he disappointed subsequently before missing 324 days but shaped nicely on reappearance and while rated 7lb higher than last year, today's rider claims 5lb. Derridae has been busier in the interim but needs to recapture her best form. Uncle Gerhard, winner of the 2022 renewal, was pulled up over fences in November but having been freshened up, can return to form now although really heavy ground might not suit. Star Official, Intersky Sunset and New Barn Lane have been running consistently well while The Truant ran well over Christmas but is a 19-race maiden. Le Fanu runs in his first handicap while Champagne Mahler disappointed at Cork recently.

Loads to consider in this big-field opener with the narrow vote in favour of INTERSKY SUNSET. A winner over further here in November, she again shaped well whilst arguably left with too much to do when third at Clonmel 2 weeks ago and she remains of interest from this sort of mark. The Truant and Benjis Benefit are others of interest, with Champagne Mahler and Diamond Dollar another couple to note.

This could go to YOUNG DARLEEN who ran at Naas latest as if she needed the run and could go well back at this trip

13:40 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CAPTAIN CODY finished sixth in the Cheltenham bumper and while absent since April, might have sat out Christmas to wait for this valuable maiden, which is run on a big race-day. A keen-goer, he likes testing ground, has point-to-point experience and while he disappointed at Aintree, collided with a rail pre-race then and is better than that showing. The selection beat Blizzard Of Oz to win at Limerick last January which, on a strict form-line, gives him an edge over Backtonormal, which finished to that horse at Cork subsequently. Backtonormal, who defeated maturing Lucid Dreams (into third) at Ballinrobe, also has heavy-ground point-to-point form and should give the selection a race. Dual point-to-point winner La Vega Moon ran well in a heavy-ground Christmas maiden but faces a tougher task.

CAPTAIN CODY achieved enough in bumpers last season to suggest he should have a bright future over jumps and this looks an ideal starting point for his hurdle career. La Vega Moon and Backtonormal can battle it out for the forecast spot.

Jody Townend should collect on CAPTAIN CODY whom she rode on all four bumper starts. His Cheltenham sixth makes him hard to oppose

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

THEDEVILSCOACHMAN stays well, operates on testing ground and might put his race-fitness to good use, in first-time cheekpieces. Lacking a gear to be high-class, he nonetheless has won half his races including a 2022 Grade 2 hurdle, narrowly beating today's rival Ashdale Bob. At Punchestown last month he again defeated Ashdale Bob, by 4.75L. Ashdale Bob has won three times from 23 runs but has twice been a Grade 1 runner-up. One-time top chasing prospect Monkfish disappointed when last seen in April but is forgiven that as it came just 17 days after returning from 713 days off, having chased home Asterion Forlonge at Fairyhouse. A standing dish in recent stable tours, he was a non-runner on New Year's Day so should be ready on reappearance but nonetheless meets race-fit rivals and, as a triple Grade 1-winning chaser, his best results have been achieved over fences. Grade 2 winner Farouk D'alene ran well under a 7lb claimer when rated 145 in a Christmas handicap hurdle but steps up in grade running in first-time cheekpieces. Summerville Boy ran well in a recent Listed hurdle but also faces a tougher task and is now a 12 year old.

FAROUK D'ALENE matched his very smart chasing form on just his fourth outing over hurdles when second in a strong-looking Pertemps Qualifier at Leopardstown over the Christmas period and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, he's selected to go one better. Thedevilscoachman and Ashdale Bob are feared most in an interesting renewal of this Grade 2.

Four of these are closely matched on official ratings. THEDEVILSCOACHMAN gets the vote to uphold recent form with Ashdale Bob

14:50 Gowran Park Handicap Chase 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DUNBOYNE was beaten a short-head from 5lb lower in last year's renewal. He stays well, likes testing ground, ran well in November's Troytown and the booking of Jack Kennedy, at a low-enough weight, is a positive. Angels Dawn beat the selection 13L into fourth when winning Cheltenham's Kim Muir Chase and while today's race has been a longterm plan and will improve from two recent runs, is nonetheless 10lb worse off with the selection today. Glengouly is unexposed and ran well in a recent Listed handicap, from which the fourth won subsequently. He pulled up on his only previous attempt at a similar distance but represents formidable connections and has winning course form on heavy ground. Espanito Bello finished fifth and Frontal Assault sixth in last year's renewal and while both are likely to compete, don't appear ahead of the handicapper. Street Value relishes a stamina test while Ain't That A Shame has been freshened up since pulling up in the Troytown and has winning course form on heavy. Stablemate Shantreusse has recent form and is suited by conditions. Dual Grade 1-placed Bronn has flopped on two recent runs while Any Second Now and Longhouse Poet might improve from recent runs but have plenty weight.

Another fiendishly competitive renewal of one of the most prestigious handicap chases of the season in Ireland and last year's runner-up DUNBOYNE is taken to go a place better on the back of a satisfactory return in the Troytown a couple of months ago. Willie Mullins/Paul Townend combined to take this 12 months ago and Glengouly may emerge as the main threat, with Shantreusse, Angels Dawn and Bronn another handful also worth considering.

Just denied by the favourite here 12 months ago, DUNBOYNE is tipped to go one better, perhaps at the main expense of Angels Dawn

15:25 Gowran Park Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAINT FELICIEN has run well in a couple of strong beginners chases and can hit the mark now. The Saint des Saints gelding was third to Facile Vega first time up this season before chasing home Indiana Dream back at Navan last month. A similar effort should see him go close now. Willie Mullins saddles four in this with Tactical Move appearing to be the stable choice with Paul Townend on board. The Stowaway gelding has been lightly raced with lengthy enough gaps in his record but ran a nice race when chasing home stablemate Nick Rockett at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day and is entitled to improve from that outing. Ho My Lord was running a nice race before unseating at Leopardstown last time and he looks like another for the shortlist.

HO MY LORD looked sure to be placed behind Marine Nationale had he not unseated at Leopardstown last time and, while there is clearly room for improvement in the jumping department, he's worth chancing to open his account in this sphere. Saint Felicien and Tactical Move are obvious dangers.

Willie Mullins may land the spoils with HO MY LORD who was holding his own when exiting two out in a Leopardstown Grade 1 last time

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

The progressive DON'T TALK may be able to strike again here despite another 9lb rise for his win at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. The Jukebox Jury gelding won with a bit in hand when stepping up in trip last time and had also been a cosy winner of this two miles trip previously. There looks scope for a bit more from him. Bynx handled testing conditions well when scoring at Tramore on New Year's Day and looks a danger despite a 7lb rise for that victory. Billy Lee Swagger improved to score at Punchestown on New Year's Eve and is another for a shortlist after a 8lb rise.

Preference is for BILLY LEE SWAGGER, who upped his game significantly when scoring at Punchestown last month and remains low mileage. Don't Talk and Nathan Wells head the list of dangers.

The selection is BIG ISLAND, who has not been punished by the handicapper for a series of consistent efforts and might take advantage

16:30 Gowran Park NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Joseph O'Brien hasn't had many bumper horses in recent years and SAMYR catches the eye here in the Robcour colours. The Sea The Moon gelding cost 280,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to German Group 2 winner Shimrano. Gordon Elliott's newcomer It's A Blue Moon is another one of obvious interest. The Teofilo gelding is also Flat-bred and his dam won over seven furlongs and a mile. Stateofenlightment rates best of the rest.

IT'S A BLUE MOON hails from a yard with a fine record in bumpers and he gets the nod in the finale. Samyr and Pavilion End are also of interest in a race where the market may prove the best guide.

The vote goes to expensively-bought yearling SAMYR, who might prevail for powerful connections

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.
