LTO Selection:

16:05 Gowran Park Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This looks a good opportunity for SIMPSON'S PARADOX to open his account. The full-brother to Alpha Centauri and Discoveries showed promise in three outings last year, notably when runner-up to Alexandroupolis over an extended mile on soft ground at Galway. No Big Deal showed some promise on debut when keeping on behind The Prairie at Leopardstown, but may not be suited by this step down in trip. Feach Amach was far from disgraced on both starts last year, while Macinamillion should progress from his debut at the Curragh last month.

SIMPSON'S PARADOX was a little disappointing on his final 2-y-o start but his Galway third prior to that is solid and he can bounce back and strike on his reappearance. No Big Deal and Grey Leader showed promise on their recent debuts and can give Jessica Harrington's charge most to think about.

This appears a weak enough maiden and a good opportunity for the well-bred SIMPSON'S PARADOX

LTO Selection:

16:40 Gowran Park Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GOLDEN SPANGLE was mainly campaigned over a mile in maidens last year and ran a cracker when dropped in trip on her handicap debut at the Curragh on Sunday. The daughter of Dawn Approach came home strongly on the testing going when beaten less than two lengths behind Midnight Fire in a 23-runner event and could be ideally suited by seven. Summer Snow ticked boxes for this track, distance and going when just denied by Rhythm King in a nursery last autumn. She didn't enjoy the clearest passage on that occasion and remains on a competitive mark. Happenstance appreciated the step up to this trip when successful at Dundalk last November, while Cherry Pink also comes here on the back of a decent effort on the Polytrack.

GOLDEN SPANGLE upped her game when an excellent third at the Curragh 3 days ago and the longer trip promises to suit so, provided the race doesn't come too soon, she could take all the beating. Cherry Pink and Happenstance look the main dangers.

An excellent staying-on third in an all-aged 6f handicap at the Curragh on Sunday, GOLDEN SPANGLE (nap) could now take some beating

17:15 Gowran Park Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ELMOS FIRE won at Listowel last summer and returned in good form, again over a mile, at Bellewstown earlier this month. The selection made virtually all and was only denied in the closing stages by Tellthemi'mhere. This drop back in trip shouldn't inconvenience him. Brave Troop recorded his second win over 1m2f at Navan last time. He travelled really well throughout and is worth a try at this shorter trip. Lucky Queen progressed nicely last autumn, winning over a mile at Cork, and also filled the runner-up spot at this venue. Maggie And Me ran well on heavy ground at Leopardstown earlier this month, while Gegenpressing and Trueba are others to consider, along with Yester.

MAGGIE AND ME stepped up on her previous efforts for this yard when second at Leopardstown 17 days ago and now she's up and running, this mark should be within range. Brave Troop and Notforalongtime are a couple of possible threats.

Only denied late at Bellewstown after forcing the pace, ELMOS FIRE could take some catching now dropped in trip

LTO Selection:

17:45 Gowran Park Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Joseph O'Brien has made a good start to the new Flat season and AMERICAN SONJA could add to the tally. She went close twice at the Curragh before opening her account there, drawing clear in the closing stages to land a 17-runner maiden in decisive fashion on soft ground last autumn. Hopefully she has progressed over the winter and this trip should suit. All Lies Ahead had Toriangel back in fourth when scoring over this trip at Leopardstown a fortnight ago, while Celtic Crown is another to consider. He won a very valuable mile handicap at the Curragh last year and again shaped well over that C&D when sixth to Lattam in the Irish Lincoln last month.

AMERICAN SONJA has a 6-month absence to overcome, but being the sole 3-y-o in the line-up there's every reason to expect further improvement this term, especially now stepping back up in trip, so she receives the vote. All Lies Ahead is another lightly-raced improver who warrants plenty of respect, with Princess Rajj completing the shortlist.

All Lies Ahead should have more to offer but may not cope with the 3yo AMERICAN SONJA

18:15 Gowran Park Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Irish Oaks entrant GREEN SKY could make a winning debut for Joseph O'Brien. Her sire relished cut in the ground and she is related to three multiple winners. She has a decent draw to work from. Hey Whatever showed ability on her first start in Naas when a never nearer fourth on testing ground. The runner-up franked the form by landing a fillies' maiden in Dundalk. Zoffany filly Paris Review was behind Hey Whatever in seventh in that aforementioned race in Naas, however, she was only 7/1 for that debut run which would indicate there is more to come from her. Queen Mab is a nicely-bred filly having her first start for a shrewd stable. Collage is another newcomer to note.

HEY WHATEVER offered something to work on when fourth on last month's debut at Naas and is selected to put that experience to good use. Green Sky and Collage are a couple of newcomers to note.

Noel Meade's HEY WHATEVER gets the vote on the strength of a debut fourth at Naas that gives her an edge over Paris Review.

18:45 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DUKE OF LEGGAGH is in a rich vein of form this season. He returned to action in a valuable handicap at Naas last month and earned plenty of credit in finishing second to a horse who holds Classic entries. He then absolutely demolished his rivals by seven lengths in Navan to earn a 12lb hike from the handicapper. There could be more in him. Johnny Murtagh runs two horses and perhaps the pick of them will be Devore. The form of her Curragh nursery victory in September has been very well franked. Tea Olive came in a remote second to Duke Of Leggagh in Naas, but is one for each-way players to consider. That was her seasonal reappearance and she now has a substantial pull in the weights. Semblance Of Order is up in trip and has a chance. The Snapper could build upon a Cork victory.

DUKE OF LEGGAGH is clearly a much-improved performer since faced with testing ground and having bolted up at Navan 3 weeks ago, Michael Mulvany's charge is fancied to follow up. The main danger could be Mere Accountant, who showed much improved form to get off the mark at Dundalk in November and should have more to offer now handicapping fitted with cheekpieces. The Snapper can fill out third spot.

Galway nursery winner DUKE OF LEGGAGH has maintained his rate of progression and can back up a comfortable Navan win

19:15 Gowran Park Handicap 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STRIKING might be a different proposition on the Flat after a runner-up berth in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle. He was only collared on the run-in of that 21-runner race and appeals off a mark of 53 on this switch back to the Flat. Ellaat has been off since November and has switched stables to Charles Byrnes. He has shown himself to be capable over hurdles and on the level with five victories accrued across both codes. He looks a big player in this field. Perfect Arch has a similar profile to Striking in that he took second when last seen in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal. Colin Keane has been booked for Elle Dorado Rock and a market check is advised.

STRIKING didn't show much on the level for Jessica Harrington but has since upped his game significantly over hurdles. If he can translate a portion of that ability to the Flat, he's more than capable of cashing in on this mark. Ellaat has transferred to Charles Byrnes and a market move would look very significant, with Elle Dorado Rock another to consider.

Jessica Harrington's runner STRIKING is tipped in the hope that he can transfer the form of his recent Fairyhouse second to the Flat

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.
