17:20 Gowran Park Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SUBJUGATE was a 20-1 chance for his debut over this trip at the Curragh on the opening day of the season in March. Although no match for the first two who pulled clear, he acquitted himself well when fifth and seemed to get through heavy ground well. Given a bit of time to mature, the Exceed And Excel gelding should go close. Cill Mocheallog ran on well to be third to a long odds-on favourite at Dundalk and is another likely to take a good step forward on his second start. Ebanza has shown plenty of promise despite racing keenly in two races over 6f and is now fitted with a hood for this step up in trip.

EBANZA's debut in October was full of promise and while she was a shade disappointing on reappearance, a hood will hopefully help her settle and allow her to resume her progress. Cill Mocheallog is capable of better, with Next Trick another to consider.

Having shown promise in a stronger maiden than this at the Curragh on debut, SUBJUGATE could have improved enough to score.

17:50 Gowran Park Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Not many with obvious credentials for winning a maiden and the 86-rated CHICAGO FIREBALL has certainly been found a good opportunity. Not beaten far by the placed horses when sixth in the Goffs Million in September, Johnny Murtagh's charge was easy to back when third to useful types on last month's reappearance at Dundalk. Vadali was unfancied when showing promise in a heavy ground C&D maiden in the autumn and the form of that race has been boosted several times since. Pink Oxalis, a $60,000 yearling and a half-sister to her trainer's winning miler Pink Sorrel, is a newcomer to note.

The form of the maiden in which VADALI was a promising sixth here on his sole 2-y-o start is working out pretty well and, with improvement on the cards, this well-bred colt is taken to strike. Chicago Fireball put in a good shift when placed on the all-weather on his reappearance last month and he is an obvious danger, while No Knee Never and newcomers Clever And Cute and Pink Oxalis are others to consider.

As a half-brother to Irish Derby winner Latrobe, the step up in trip can unlock the necessary improvement for NO KNEE NEVER to win.

Countess Of Tyrone

9/2(+36%)
(3) Countess Of Tyrone 9/2, Justified good support and overcame greenness to ultimately run out a cosy winner of a Galway maiden (12f) on sole start at 2yrs. Possibly still in need of the experience when 6½ lengths ninth of 12 on return in listed race at Cork (12.1f) 12 days ago and she remains the type to do better.

Dancing Tango

3/1(-20%)
(1) Dancing Tango 3/1, Useful mare. Career best when winning 15-runner listed race at Naas (11.9f, heavy, 13/2) in October, well suited by having a strong pace to aim at. Absent since but underfoot conditions in her favour on return and good claims on these terms.

Dual-purpose type improved considerably on Flat last year, can be forgiven a poor AW run.

18:20 Gowran Park Listed 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is concerning to see DANCING TANGO reappear in a first-time tongue-tie following a winter's break but she has strong form and is suited by easy ground. She progressed well last year and while she steps up in trip today, should have no issues at this distance and won well last October. In that Naas race she comfortably beat stablemate Perfect Portrait into third and is now 2lb better off with that rival, whom herself steps up to this distance for the first time but has strong place claims. Vischio has failed in 10 all-weather races and she was well held at Dundalk recently. That was her reappearance run, though, and she will be much better suited by returning to this surface.

DANCING TANGO proved at least as good as ever when making her final start last term a winning one at Naas in October and she gets the nod to hit the ground running on return with forecast conditions very much in her favour. Countess of Tyrone rates the type to do better on the back of just 2 starts and she's feared along with Perfect Portrait. Star Kissed is another who may yet have more to offer.

Having ended last season on a high note with a 1m4f Listed win on soft ground at Naas, DANCING TANGO could prove hard to beat.

18:50 Gowran Park Listed 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GOLDANA relishes easy ground and arrives in excellent form. Well suited by a mile, she won a recent Listed race at Leopardstown, has performed well at a high level and is dependable. Snowcapped disappointed on her most recent start last October, where she may have been unsuited by that 1m4f trip, but had previously shown useful distance form and returns from a winter's break. Stablemate Villanova Queen was Group 3-placed as a three-year-old and won last year's Kensington Palace Handicap at Royal Ascot, but she would prefer drier ground and is second-string on jockey bookings.

It's fair to say things didn't really go to plan for VILLANOVA QUEEN after winning at Royal Ascot last season, but this looks a good starting point for Jessica Harrington's mare returned to turf with headgear discarded. She can get the better of Goldana, who dug deep to land the odds in a similar event at Leopardstown 4 weeks ago. The selection's stablemate Snowcapped can edge out Flight of Fancy for third place.

Having missed an engagement at the Curragh on Monday, GOLDANA would seem to set the standard in this

19:20 Gowran Park Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Ben Coen has been showcasing his talent to a wider audience, including at Goodwood at the weekend. He might get a turn on home soil here for his boss Johnny Murtagh, aboard newcomer HANALIA. They've been tending to hit the woodwork since the turf campaign began, but there's little doubt the winners will soon begin to flow from the constantly progressive Murtagh outfit. If proving reasonably solid in the betting market, the expectation would be that Hanalia will more than hold her own, in company that doesn't appear to be overly taxing. She's plainly got plenty going for her on breeding. The benefit of experience may see Iseult Of Ireland emerge as a bigger player than Thisoldheartofmine.

HANALIA appeals on pedigree and hails from a yard going well. She may be able to make a winning debut. Iseult of Ireland and Glor Tire rate the principal dangers.

It could pay to take a chance with QUELIEVE who attracted some market support on her only start at trwo

19:50 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SPECIAL ANGEL and Dolce Far Niente clash again, after their meeting here behind Madame Plaintiff a fortnight ago. That was probably a reasonable heat for the grade, and Special Angel might bridge a two and a quarter length gap to reverse placings with Dolce Far Niente, after third and fourth placings then. The selection is joined here, by Miami Sunshine for the same connections, so market movements ought to be revealing. Special Angel meets her old rival on slightly better terms, and an extra furlong may play to her strengths also. Given that she's the only previous winner in the line-up, Expecto is much respected, course and distance knowledge assured with the Jim Bolger runner too.

DOLCE FAR NIENTE made an encouraging return to action when third over 7f here a fortnight ago and can build on that promise and get off the mark now stepping up to 1m for the first time. Special Angel was a place behind the selection in fourth on that occasion and is second choice. Jim Bolger's Expecto also makes the shortlist back at the scene of her win last autumn.

DOLCE FAR NIENTE had Special Angel over 2l behind here last time and should confirm the form even on 1lb worse terms.

20:20 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

She's proven herself over track and trip in the past, and BARNHILL ROSE gets the nod after an encouraging return to action at this venue two weeks back. On her first outing since September then, Denis Hogan's mare ran a promising fifth behind Summer Snow, and sure to be sharper now the experienced campaigner can benefit too from going up to a mile. Daniel King's claim is a further boon to the hopes of the near top-weight. Veteran owner/trainer Peter Cluskey is doubly represented. Stormy Jenn looks the clear stable select in the hands of Colin Keane. Anything other than a very prominent showing from that daughter of Gale Force Ten will be a surprise. Play It Again Zaam is closely matched with Barnhill Rose and he needs considering.

TOMAHAWK KING has dropped in the weights and shaped well from too far back at Naas last time so, if the pace is strong, he should be bang there at the finish. Play It Again Zaam and Stormy Jenn both arrive on the back of solid performances and should be competitive once more.

C&D winner BARNHILL ROSE(nap) gets the vote having made a pleasing start to the season when fifth over 7f here a fortnight ago.

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.
