14:05 Gowran Park Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A maiden lacking in depth and the Oaks-winning duo Dermot Weld and Chris Hayes can strike here with SETTLEMENT. The 86-rated daughter of Kingman was touched off at Cork last term and ran respectably in a stakes race won by the Oaks fifth at the Curragh. A little keen on last month's reappearance at Naas, she probably bumped into two useful rivals and this looks a good opportunity. Quatrain, a half-sister to a Group 2 winner, showed promise when second in a course and distance maiden in April and looks the main threat to the selection. Nunc Est Bibendum, a half-sister to four winners from the family of Irish Derby winner Grey Swallow, makes some appeal on pedigree.

SETTLEMENT matched the pick of her 2-y-o form returning from 7 months off when placed at Naas recently and Dermot Weld's charge can put her experience to good use and strike. Second choice is Quatrain, who found just one too strong over C&D on debut just under 6 weeks ago, with debutantes Lightning Legs and Pauline's Dream taken to fight out third spot.

Unless there's something lurking amongst the newcomers then this should concern SETTLEMENT and Quatrain.

14:35 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TIFFANY MAE took a big step forward from her handicap debut when finishing fifth in a higher grade at Cork. Now taking on older rivals for the first time, she may be progressive enough to cope and stepping up to a mile promises to suit. Manhattan Dandy has become a consistent performer in this grade and recorded his third career win at Leopardstown in April. He has been placed twice at this venue since then and should be thereabouts again. La Dame Blanche is a course and distance maiden winner who was second off this mark in the autumn. Returning from seven months off, she starts out for a new yard and drops to this grade for the first time.

RANKO EXPRESS has tasted success here before and made a solid start for a new yard at Cork, so he's preferred to Manhattan Dandy, who ran with credit over 7f here last time. Leviosa is also considered with blinkers back on.

Plenty of well-exposed runners. It may be worth taking a chance with the three-year-old TIFFANY MAE who has the potential to improve

15:05 Gowran Park Handicap 9.5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Consistent in defeat over hurdles during the winter, WHIMSY had You Owe Me Money a place behind when runner-up at Sligo last month. Unlucky in running on that occasion, Anthony McCann's filly then bumped into a smart rival when again finding one too good over 1m4f at Leopardstown. A dual Flat winner when trained in Britain, she can gain a first win on Irish soil. Nostringsattached also relegated You Owe Me Money to third when making a winning return to action at Cork. She's now 7lb higher and connections will hope that the ground doesn't dry out too much. Simply Sideways beat Independent Expert over 1m here last month and may be capable of further improvement.

INDEPENDENT EXPERT finished half-a-length behind Simply Sideways when the pair finished first and second here last month but on these revised terms, she's taken to gain her revenge. Of the rest, Star Kissed is of interest back in trip.

Perhaps the safest choice is INDEPENDENT EXPERT who has a fighting chance of reversing 1m course form with Simply Sideways

15:35 Gowran Park Stakes 9.5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A decisive winner over a mile here in April, MATAARIKI may be able to land the inaugural running of this valuable contest. The daughter of Cracksman will need to take another step forward from that debut but it looks significant that Dylan Browne McMonagle has chosen to ride her ahead of 93-rated stablemate Je Zous. Ocean Of Dreams was found to be lame after trailing home in a Group 3 at Leopardstown on seasonal debut. He was a ready winner of his sole juvenile start and could easily bounce back. Course maiden winner Vestigia ran creditably in a Group 3 last time while Kinesiology made a winning return at Cork and can also contend.

Lots of these offer potential but it's hard to side against Joseph O'Brien's Cheshire Oaks fourth GALILEO DAME who can quickly resume winning ways now her sights are lowered. Ocean of Dreams also reverts to calmer waters and could emerge as the main danger, although Soldier's Empire, Babich and Fleur de Chine are others worthy of consideration in a very open event.

The richest race ever staged at Gowran Park. There are loads to consider but MATAARIKI looks a filly packed with potential.

16:05 Gowran Park Maiden 9.5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Joseph O'Brien-trained BAD DESIRE looks to have been found a nice opportunity to get off the mark. A son of Wootton Bassett, the colt has run with credit in stronger maidens than this of late. His Cork third, when just behind a subsequent winner, reads well in the context of this race. It will be disappointing if he can't get the job done at the fifth time of asking. Subjugate has been staying on well enough at the end of his races to suggest he is worth stepping up in trip. However, it is worth bearing in mind that his full-brother never won at distances in excess of a mile. Inner Success needs to step up on his first two runs but is lightly raced so remains open to improvement.

DURAJI is a full brother to the top-class Ghaiyyath and starts out in a winnable affair, so he's marginally preferred to Bad Desire, who is the clear pick of those with experience. Lord Raven is another one to consider with improvement on the cards.

With an official rating of 89, BAD DESIRE sets a decent standard of form. His experience may give him an edge over Duraji

16:35 Gowran Park Handicap 9.5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PASSIONATE has been hit hard by the handicapper following her impressive Killarney win but there are grounds for believing the Andrew Slattery-trained filly could still be ahead of her mark. Having just her second run in handicap company, the daughter of Churchill travelled strongly throughout, before powering six lengths clear of her rivals. With the runner-up going on to win his next start, that form already has a decent look to it. Annexation came from near last to first when winning over course and distance on his most recent start. Henry De Bromhead's eight-year-old is still well treated relative to his hurdles mark. Glor Tire can also get involved, with the form of her recent maiden win at this track having been boosted since.

PASSIONATE rates just the pick of the weights on the back of her recent Killarney success so edges the vote at the chief expense of See Me Through who can also boast winning recent form there. There are plenty of others to consider though in a very competitive heat, notably Annexation, Royal Pippen and Sea Eagle.

Cases can be made for loads of these but well-bred maiden winner SEE ME THROUGH (nap) appeals as one with lots more to offer.

17:05 Gowran Park Handicap 9.5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Despite the obvious negative about his wide draw, HANOI seems sure to play a big part here. Well supported when third at Cork on his most recent start, the Padraig Roche-trained colt kept on strongly towards the finish. With the winner of that race following up at Sligo next time, it was almost certainly a decent contest for the grade. Bizarre Dreams was noted making late headway on her third start in maiden company, when fifth at this track last month. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly should find life that bit easier now she tackles handicap company. Killeaney Bear has been running consistently in similar races of late. The Kodi Bear gelding looks likely to be involved once again.

A very open contest with HANOI the suggestion at the foot of the weights with a good-value claimer taking over. Bizarre Dreams has a bigger performance in her so she's on the shortlist, with Moutarde also of interest back up in distance.

This is a minefield but Johnny Murtagh's handicap debutante BIZARRE DREAMS is bred to be better than this level.

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.
