LTO Selection:

13:20 Gowran Park Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 1.38/1 (3) TOUGHEN UP seems to be the horse most likely to win, given their recent strong performance and favorable odds. For second place, 1.88/1 (2) PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM and 33/1 (9) PEGULA could potentially be contenders, with both showing positive signs of improvement and good breeding. For third place, 10/1 (5) DOCTOR NIGHTINGALE and 5.5/1 (7) LADY ONYX could be worth considering, as they both have potential to improve and are in good hands. However, as with any horse race, there are many variables at play and nothing is certain.

This looks to be between TOUGHEN UP and Play It Again Zaam who are closely matched on official ratings. The former showed a real aptitude for soft ground when getting to within a head of the winner over the same trip in Limerick. The horse a place behind him in third came out and won a maiden at this track last week. Play It Again Zaam is only rated 1lb inferior to Toughen Up and has switched to Joseph O'Brien after a promising third in a big-field maiden on testing ground at the Curragh. Several winners have come out of that race, so he holds every chance. Johnny Murtagh's Lady Onyx is a newcomer to note. Neowise can do better on her second start.

It's a shade disconcerting that connections reach for a tongue tie on the back of TOUGHEN UP's big career-best effort at Limerick less than 3 weeks ago but that slight niggle aside, a repeat of that form will see him tough to beat. Doctor Nightingale is a sure-fire improver, with newcomer Lady Onyx one to monitor in the betting.

Slight preference is for Limerick runner-up TOUGHEN UP over Play It Again Zaam who has joined Joseph O'Brien after a Curragh third

LTO Selection:

13:55 Gowran Park Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well as there are many once- or twice-raced fillies with limited form. However, 2.25/1 (3) ALAZNE and 8/1 (4) ALESSIA FERNANDA are both mentioned as potentially strong contenders. Predicted finishing order: 1. 2.25/1 (3) ALAZNE 2. 8/1 (4) ALESSIA FERNANDA 3. 5.5/1 (8) FINSCEAL GO DEO

Colin Keane's statistics when riding for Michael O'Callaghan are excellent and he is an eye-catching booking for newcomer STELLA ACCLAMATA. Keane has eight winners from 20 rides for O'Callaghan across last season and the early part of this campaign. Alazne has been placed on two of her three outings over further on the Polytrack in Dundalk. She switches to rain-sodden turf now and, if as effective, ought to take plenty of beating from the best draw for her powerful stable. At Long Last came home to good effect for fourth on debut at Sligo and this longer trip looks sure to suit. Alessia Fernanda, Cadeau Belle and Es Vedra are other newcomers to keep an eye on in the market.

The market can prove a good guide but Joseph O'Brien's ALAZNE holds the edge on form so is taken to emerge on top at the chief expense of Johnny Murtagh's Harry Angel newcomer Cadeau Belle. Hope And Innocence appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

The standard set by Alazne and Finsceal Go Deo is not exactly intimidating. Newcomer STELLA ACCLAMATA may be too good for them

LTO Selection:

14:30 Gowran Park Claimer 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2/1 (6) SECRET SAUCE seems like the strongest contender with a good recent performance and a reputable stable. 4/1 (5) REDSHORE CITY also has a chance based on past performance, while 6.5/1 (1) MARCO MONACO and 14/1 (8) INDIAN OUTLAW have potential but need to bounce back from recent underwhelming performances. Therefore, my prediction for 1st place would be 2/1 (6) SECRET SAUCE, 2nd place 4/1 (5) REDSHORE CITY, and 3rd place 6.5/1 (1) MARCO MONACO.

SECRET SAUCE's best performance came in second in a handicap over a similar trip on testing ground at Bellewstown. He gets a first-time tongue-strap and Joey Sheridan takes 3lb off his back. Marco Monaco hasn't shown much in two outings this season, but this is a big drop in class for him and a better finish should be on the cards. Redshore City disappointed in a sprint at Sligo, but has prospects based on his previous two runs. He wasn't beaten far into fourth on attritional ground at Naas and filled the runner-up berth in a Dundalk claimer. Indian Outlaw has a placed run in a fillies' maiden at Naas at the end of last season in the book. She gets cheekpieces and her jockey Jack Kearney claims 7lb.

SECRET SAUCE comes here on the back of a good C&D fourth and is favoured by these weights so looks the way to go in this claimer. Indian Outlaw is also weighted to have a say and next on the list ahead of top-weight Marco Monaco.

Not much between a few of these in theory but perhaps SECRET SAUCE represents the best option by virtue of solid handicap form on turf

15:05 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

1st: 12/1 (4) SILKEN LADDER 2nd: 5/1 (6) LA DAME BLANCHE 3rd: 5/1 (2) ESCULENTA

ESCULENTA showed plenty on seasonal reappearance at this track last month. She was ultimately caught close home by a strong-staying National-Hunt mare, but took plenty of credit from that placed run over an extended 1m1f. She had some smart efforts last season, particularly when placed twice in maidens won by very smart horses. Vadiana is still to prove that she wants testing ground, but was a comfortable winner on the Polytrack at Dundalk when last seen in December. Winners have come out of that race. Miramis wasn't at her best in fifth over an extended 1m2f at Sligo and can get involved dropping back to a mile. Conor Stone-Walsh's 7lb claim helps her cause. My Minervina should be sharper after a spin around Southwell after almost six months off. The ground doesn't look to be in Ellabella's favour.

SILKEN LADDER ended last season on a low-key note but she could be worth chancing back here, having bagged a 7f handicap on her latest visit to this course last June. Relatively unexposed, Vadiana is feared on her reappearance/debut for new yard following her decisive maiden success at Dundalk in December. La Dame Blanche also enters calculations.

Placed in six of her 12 races ESCULENTA may open her account after a good first run for her new trainer at this venue

LTO Selection:

15:40 Gowran Park Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Predicted horses to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd: 7/1 (2) A SHIN UNDINE, 12/1 (16) CHIMERIC, and 66/1 (1) RIVER DERWENT.

There are ground concerns for several of these horses. NARLITA has posted two solid placed efforts since switching to Harry Rogers and could have more to offer. Her third in Bellewstown was franked when the winner scored again while she had two subsequent winners behind her when finishing fourth over 1m at this track. Lucky Queen will relish plenty of juice in the ground. She is entitled to improve from her comeback run over 7f here last month. She was in very good form between August and October last season. A Shin Undine kept on for second over 1m in Cork and the third home has since gone in at this venue. She may not want the ground to get much slower, though. Hello Power makes a second start for her new stable and isn't out of contention.

Although LILY LIKE has yet to win she's been given a chance by the handicapper and her Dundalk reappearance third was encouraging. Billy Lee retains the ride and she can prove too strong for the likes of recent Cork second A Shin Undine, John McConnell's St Cianans Fire and Chimeric, the mount of Colin Keane.

Preference is for LUCKY QUEEN, all the better for her recent comeback run over an inadequate trip and on whom Gavin Ryan takes over

LTO Selection:

16:15 Gowran Park Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that could potentially finish in the top 3 are 12/1 (8) KODIAC PRINCE, 5/1 (9) SHONA MEA, and 3.5/1 (2) YOU OWE ME MONEY. 12/1 (8) KODIAC PRINCE has shaped up well on their seasonal debut and has a good jockey taking over, while 5/1 (9) SHONA MEA has a chance of reversing their form with 3.5/1 (2) YOU OWE ME MONEY, and 3.5/1 (2) YOU OWE ME MONEY itself is a recent winner and has performed well this year.

MISS ABBY JOOLS is interesting on this switch to turf. Since her last run on grass, she has appeared six times on the Polytrack in Dundalk and accrued two wins and three places. Adam Caffrey was successful on her at the end of March and he claims 7lb again. On her second ever start, she handled testing ground when fourth in Roscommon. You Owe Me Money has long threatened a victory and it came over a mile at this racetrack last week. She has to rate a danger. Shona Mea is a former C&D winner who has been placed on her last couple of starts here. She has the widest draw, though, and wouldn't welcome more rain. Brewel Hill has been off since September and has changed stables, but has form in the book that merits respect.

MISS ABBY JOOLS was better than ever when scoring at Dundalk 40 days ago and she's still not fully exposed, so she gets the tentative vote in a competitive race for the grade. Shona Mea is a big threat, particularly if a wide draw proves advantageous (which can be the case at this track), and You Owe Me Money who beat the latter mentioned at this course last time, is another one to consider.

Second here a week ago over 1m, SHONA MEA is taken to reverse form with her conqueror You Owe Me Money over this longer trip

LTO Selection:

16:50 Gowran Park Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on form, 1.63/1 (1) SLANEY TIDE and 3.33/1 (7) NOT EVEN MAYBE seem to be the strongest contenders for the top three positions. So, the prediction for the first, second, and third position are: 1. 1.63/1 (1) SLANEY TIDE 2. 3.33/1 (7) NOT EVEN MAYBE 3. 6/1 (8) GLYDE RANGER

NOT EVEN MAYBE has a bit to find with Slaney Tide on their run at Tipperary, but may find the improvement necessary. Since finishing fourth to Slaney Side's second in Tipperary, Not Even Maybe ran a cracker to be beaten half a length into second over 1m at this track. Slaney Tide was only pipped by a head in that aforementioned race at Tipperary last month. She is likely to race prominently again. Upepo kept on for fourth in Sligo and could improve in first-time blinkers.

SLANEY TIDE was just touched off at Tipperary last month and a 4 lb rise for that effort looks fair given that she pulled nicely clear of the rest. Jim Bolger's charge is taken to open her account at the twelfth time of asking, perhaps at the chief expense of Not Even Maybe, who was fourth in the same Tipperary handicap and subsequently went close over a mile here. Glyde Ranger and Upepo both make each-way appeal.

Clear of the remainder when second here last week, NOT EVEN MAYBE (nap) kept on strongly then so this trip should be within her compass

17:25 Gowran Park Handicap 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well based on this summary, but some contenders for the top three spots could be 12/1 (11) BIGZ BELIEF, 9/1 (2) STAR OFFICIAL, and 20/1 (10) ORANMORE. However, it ultimately depends on the individual performance of each horse on the day of the race.

This trip is going to take plenty of getting on rain-soaked ground, so preference is for hurdle-winner DOUGLAS DC. He ran a decent race in second over 1m4f at Bellewstown behind an odds-on favourite. Jack Kearney claims 7lb which puts him on an appealing mark. Belgoprince is better than his unplaced seasonal reappearance at Navan. He has a victory over 1m6f at Navan in the formbook. Star Official outran his 33/1 odds when third over a staying trip in Navan. Deep ground holds no fears for him. Queen Of Seduction is up in trip on seasonal bow after being placed on her last three starts. Ellaat and Bolero are among the best of the rest.

DOUGLAS DC was returning from 5 months off when runner-up at Bellewstown and figures off a handy mark on his handicap debut in this sphere. He can land the spoils. Star Official and Queen of Seduction head the list of dangers.

A competitive handicap in which a chance is taken on BAROMETER coming on plenty for a recent comeback 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.
