16:00 Gowran Park Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MISS TAPLEY looks the one to beat here on her return to action. The Phoenix Of Spain filly was a promising second at Galway on her sole outing last season September and that form looks strong. The winner, Tannola, was runner-up in two hot maidens prior to her success while the third horse, Vassula Ryden, went on to win a Navan maiden in good style. The 77-rated Gandolfo is more exposed but is entitled to run well. It'sonlyjustbegun showed promise when sixth in a Leopardstown maiden 16 days ago on her debut and is a potential improver.

MISS TAPLEY made a promising start to her career when second at Galway in September and this looks a good opportunity for her to go one better with improvement forthcoming. Gandolfo would have claims if bouncing back from a poor showing at Naas on his final 2-y-o outing, while It'sonlyjustbegun shaped with some encouragement on her recent debut at Leopardstown and ought to improve.

The experienced Gandolfo merits respect but he is not certain to cope with the less-exposed MISS TAPLEY, second on debut at Galway

16:35 Gowran Park Stakes 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A win for Miss Tapley in the opener would be a boost to the form of VASSULA RYDEN. Willie McCreery's filly was a place behind that rival when the pair were second and third to Tannola on debut at Galway last September. Vassula Ryden went on to take a Navan maiden in good style subsequently and this looks a nice stepping stone. It's interesting that she's fitted with a visor on her return having been described as a lazy type last season. Norwalk Havoc comes into this with a recent win under his belt and looks the danger. Shelaka disappointed on her second outing last season behind Opera Singer in Group 3 company. She may be capable of better.

NORWALK HAVOC has the best form, is open to more improvement, and has a fitness edge over his main market rivals, so he looks a solid proposition. Vassula Ryden and Shelaka are a couple of promising fillies that should make better 3yos, so they're the chief dangers.

A tight race with not a lot between them on peak RPRs. NORWALK HAVOC looked a horse to follow when winning at Leopardstown.

Rated only 68 and that hints at limitations in a maiden of this nature.

17:10 Gowran Park Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NATIVITY SQUARE has been busy already this season and can gain a deserved win. The Vocalised filly ran really well when finishing second to Wingspan on her most recent outing at Leopardstown 16 days ago and a similar effort may be enough now. Gushing showed some promise on her debut when fourth at Thurles before a disappointing run at Leopardstown. She may be able to improve this year. Sure Spirit was runner-up twice on the all-weather in England but an official mark of 68 leaves her with a bit to find.

NATIVITY SQUARE is going the right way and can get off the mark in this thin maiden. Dangers come in the shape of newcomers Siege of Troy, Mataariki and Campari Soda.

This looks an excellent opportunity for the race-fit NATIVITY SQUARE to go one better than at Leopardstown.

17:45 Gowran Park Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KISIYRA could improve for going a bit further this season. The Sea The Moon filly was placed in a couple of maidens last year and it was a good run when chasing home Everlasting at Galway in a decent contest last October. She is fitted with cheekpieces on her return and a mark of 79 doesn't look harsh. Colin Keane takes the mount on Nika Pika again after a good run to chase home Uncle Albert at Cork late last month. The Estidhkaar filly had Ringside Timing a length-and-a-quarter back in third then. Jim Bolger's charge was dropped a pound after that run and is now ridden by an inexperienced 10lb claimer.

SURFERS PARADISE stuck pretty well to his task when fourth in a better handicap than this a fortnight ago and with that reappearance under his belt, he's just about the most persuasive option. Ringside Timing should relish this trip and is feared most, ahead of Kisiyra.

This can go to SURFERS PARADISE who ran a pleasing race on his handicap debut at Leopardstown behind the thrown-in Chantilly.

18:15 Gowran Park Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STILL ROLLING was obviously flattered to get as close as she did to One Look in Cork late last month but it was still a decent run and she looks capable of scoring off this kind of mark now in handicap company. Duke Of Leggagh was eased a pound after a solid run to finish third to Mr Rango at Leopardstown 13 days ago and could be a big player here now. He had Givemehoperosa half a length behind then. Jack Davison claims 5lb off his filly now, with James Ryan getting the leg up, and is another that has to be in the mix.

This looks wide open. Preference is for DUKE OF LEGGAGH, who posted his best effort for a while when third under Wesley Joyce at Leopardstown recently and, down another 1 lb, he has slipped to workable mark. Roderick also performed well in a Leopardstown handicap last time and he is feared most ahead of French import Evolving, Quantum Light and handicap debutante Still Rolling.

Fourth on her handicap debut at Leopardstown, GIVEMEHOPEROSA\ can turn the tables on third-placed \bDuke Of Leggagh

18:45 Gowran Park Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SOUL OF SPAIN should prove hard to beat. He got up for second on debut at the Curragh in October and took a lot of credit from that performance, particularly as the winner was good enough to then finish a close third in a Group 1 in France. Soul Of Spain holds an Irish Derby entry. Cheeky Wink has some notable entries including in the Irish 1,000 Guineas, so it is reasonable to assume she has progressed over the winter after a fifth place on debut at Leopardstown in October. Daboya and Mickey Cohen are two newcomers who could have a say in proceedings.

SOUL OF SPAIN made a promising start at the Curragh 6 months ago and is the one to beat. Daboya is the interesting newcomer, while once-raced Cheeky Wink is likely to take a step forward.

Irish Derby entry SOUL OF SPAIN entered many notebooks when a closing second to the high-class Illinois at the Curragh last season.

19:15 Gowran Park Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CARLO BIANCONI can make it third-time lucky. Joseph O'Brien's charge has finished a close second in both maidens to date and should play a leading role. Interestingly, he holds an entry in the valuable Chester Cup next month. The lowest-rated horse in that race last year was on a mark of 87, so Carlo Bianconi would likely need a victory to get in as he's rated 78. Neptunes Staircase is a worthy opponent. He lost out by a neck in Navan and by a nose at the Curragh, so wouldn't be winning out of turn. Furthermore, trip and ground are fine for him. Firebrand was beaten a length into second over hurdles at Cork in March and it is worth noting that he was runner-up on the Flat in France last year. Johanna Whitty is likely to improve from her unplaced seasonal reappearance at the Curragh on Saturday.

CARLO BIANCONI went close on both his starts in maidens, including on his comeback at Dundalk 12 weeks ago, and can find the required improvement to beat Away To The Sea, who often runs in handicaps. Neptunes Staircase and Johanna Whitty are best of the others.

Runner-up over C&D a year ago and on his return at Dundalk last month, CARLO BIANCONI has good prospects of going one better.

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.
