LTO Selection:

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

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

ASIAN DAZE, who didn't get the run of the race when fourth at Leopardstown last time, can gain her first success here. The Johnny Murtagh-trained filly caught the eye staying on nicely when fifth at Limerick on debut before slightly disappointing on her second run at Bellewstown. However, it was that most recent effort at the Foxrock venue that marks the daughter of Frontiersman down as the one to beat now. School Of Law boasts a very similar profile, having also shaped with promise on each of his three starts to date. Michael O'Callaghan's colt, who ran his best race on debut at the Curragh over this trip in June, has performed with credit on two subsequent outings. State's Evidence looked like he would improve when third on his Down Royal debut and arguably did so when fourth in a Bellewstown maiden that has worked out well.

STATE'S EVIDENCE still looked green when fourth at Bellewstown last month but that race has worked out well and this well-bred colt is fancied to take a step forward here. School of Law sets the clear standard so has to be feared, along with Asian Daze.

SCHOOL OF LAW sets the standard but faces decent opposition in State's Evidence and especially Ma Ghille Mar

Long absent until fair Curragh effort in May; unproven over this trip at this level.
LTO Selection:

17:10 Gowran Park Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Confirmed front-runner SPANISH TENOR could prove difficult to beat from a favourable low draw. The Ado McGuinness-trained nine-year-old arrives at the top of his game, having gone close at the Galway Festival on his most recent run. A previous C&D winner, the veteran will be hard to peg back. Something Nice makes a quick reappearance having chased home a very well-handicapped horse at the Curragh on Saturday. Michael Mulvany's three-year-old rarely runs a poor race so is almost certain to be involved in this competitive affair. Top-weight Lust has to concede upwards of 7lb to his rivals but is the class act in the field. The Ger Lyons-trained five-year-old should be sharper after a recent comeback at Fairyhouse.

LUST won a listed race last year so a mark of 97 shouldn't be beyond him and he can leave last month's reappearance behind and strike for the Ger Lyons team. Spanish Tenor ran a couple of fine races at Galway recently and is second choice ahead of Something Nice and the consistent Facethepuckout.

It is hard to look past SOMETHING NICE (nap) following a cracking Curragh run at the weekend, for which he is due a 5lb rise

(12) The Fog Horn 10/1, Improved fitted with blinkers this season, runner-up on return at Fairyhouse prior to shedding maiden tag in a C&D handicap in June. Does need to shrug off a lesser effort back here 18 days ago, however.

LTO Selection:

17:40 Gowran Park Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TRUEBA has every chance of giving jockey Wesley Joyce a first success since returning from a career-threatening injury. The seven-year-old tried to make all the running from a similar draw over C&D last time, only to be headed close home. A reproduction of that effort should see the gelding prove hard to beat. Whatharm almost landed a sizeable gamble when just denied at Fairyhouse. Pat Flynn's eight-year-old has dropped to a very lenient handicap mark, so this C&D winner has to be respected under Leigh Roche. Emorcee also enters calculations now that the Galway runner-up drops down in grade for trainer David Marnane. The Elzaam gelding is only 3lb higher now.

TRUEBA produced his best effort yet for his present stable when runner-up in a C&D handicap 18 days ago, giving best only to a thriving sort (well clear of remainder) and he could well be worth chancing to go one place better here. Pinball Wizard, Emorcee and Whatharm head up the dangers, with Finsceal Go Deo not out of things either.

The recently-returned Wesley Joyce has a good opportunity on TRUEBA who may cope with the 5lb extra imposed for a recent C&D second.

LTO Selection:

18:10 Gowran Park Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BUCKY LARSON, whose previous C&D win came off a 20lb higher mark, should be very competitive if at peak fitness for his reappearance. Although yet to show any worthwhile form for current connections, it was only last November that he was winning at Dundalk off a rating of 81. One For Mum ran one of her better races when stepped back up to this trip on her most recent start. The Ger Lyons-trained filly has been drawn out wide but if Colin Keane can get her away smartly, the daughter of Dandy Man has to be a contender. Bobby K is only 4lb higher than when winning at Dundalk, although the eight-year-old may be slightly better on that surface. At the same time, he should appreciate a fast-run race at this trip so expect to see him finishing strongly under Billy Lee.

SUPER CUB went close over this C&D last month and should make another bold bid. Bobby K capitalised on a falling mark at Dundalk and remains well treated on old form, while One For Mum should be on the premises again.

A high draw is a worry for ONE FOR MUM but in Colin Keane, she arguably has the jockey most likely to overcome any potential negative

Belated seasonal return and won't have to be a world beater to win (holds Group 3 entry).
LTO Selection:

18:40 Gowran Park Maiden 9.5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A pretty open contest, with FEATHERTOP the suggestion. A fine third on debut over the course and distance in June, she finished just a neck behind subsequent Dundalk victor Sandy Creek. Sure to come on plenty for that experience, the Jessica Harrington-trained selection can be expected to go close. Harrington saddles another interesting contender in the shape of Spirit Of Paradise. She made late headway on debut at Leopardstown and this step up in trip is likely to suit. Placed four times from six starts, the 78-rated Letiza is given second preference. A staying-on third at Killarney most recently, she was just three-parts of a length off subsequent dual victor Golden Spangle. Semantics is also rated 78 but was behind Letiza when they met at Navan in June. Not seen since finishing fourth on debut at the Curragh in October, Time To Boogie warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are Nostringsattached, Lady Meis and debutant Uncanny.

Lots with chances but it could pay to side with Aidan O'Brien's well-related filly TIME TO BOOGIE to make light of her absence having shaped well when a debut fourth at the Curragh last backend. Feathertop also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list, although Donnacha O'Brien's Churchill newcomer Uncanny is well worth considering too, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Despite a belated seasonal return TIME TO BOOGIE could well be up to the task here. She holds a Group 3 entry in ten days time

LTO Selection:

19:10 Gowran Park Handicap 9.5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having made the breakthrough at Leopardstown in June, an 8lb rise didn't stop EVERYLITTLESTEP from following up at Killarney. The manner of victory was even more impressive at the Co Kerry venue and despite another 6lb hike from the handicapper, she looks the one to beat with Colin Keane again in the saddle. Rockbury Lad has been knocking on the door of late and is given second preference, while three-time course winner Shona Mea always warrants respect at Gowran. Trained by shrewd local handler Barry Fitzgerald, Molly Hall is an interesting contender on her handicap debut, with Barrys Rock, Khattaat (first-time visor) and Navan runner-up Flier other leading contenders.

EVERYLITTLESTEP arrives at the top of her game and is taken to complete the hat-trick. Rockbury Lad and Flier head the list of dangers.

Not too many appeal and EVERYLITTLESTEP is taken to complete the hat-trick. Good ground could enable her to see out this trip

LTO Selection:

19:40 Gowran Park Handicap 9.5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A competitive affair with four last-time-out winners in the line-up. There was just a nose between Red Trail and NOT JUST ANY EAGLE over the course and distance last month, with the latter now taken to gain revenge. Slightly better off at the weights, the Pat Flynn-trained selection might be able to provide apprentice Robyn Donaghue-Leahy with her first track success. Rated just 44, Vidala sprang a surprise on her return to action at Leopardstown in June and it'll be interesting to see if she can defy a 6lb rise. Simply Sideways is a consistent sort and after winning at Naas last month, she is a leading contender. Her trainer Tim Doyle also saddles Alfalfa, who warrants respect with Colin Keane booked to ride. Men Of Dreams reverts to the level after winning over flights at Kilbeggan and he is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Slamadoor and Qaabil are other leading hopes.

NOT JUST ANY EAGLE enjoys a 2 lb swing in the weights with Red Trail for his narrow defeat here last month and that might be enough for him to turn the tables on Andrew McNamara's charge. Simply Sideways and Barretstown, whose latest run is easily ignored, are a couple of others to consider in this very open handicap.

If Sioux Princess gets in as a reserve, she would be the pick. Otherwise, MEN OF DREAMS is a hopeful pick

LTO Selection:

20:10 Gowran Park Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Plenty of these have questions to answer so the in-form YOUCRACKMEUP looks the safest option. Versatile in terms of trip and ground, the Jessica Harrington-trained three-year-old impressed when making all on her most recent start at Galway, with subsequent winner Fratas eight lengths back in third. Upped 10lb for that success, the Cracksman bay is clearly improving and faces her toughest test to date now. Emmet Mullins saddles two of the 10 declared, with his Aurora Princess given second preference. She ran twice at Galway and was beaten just a head over flights, disappointing on the level when turned out again quickly. Fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time now, she should give a good account of herself. Smooth Tom is another capable of making his presence felt, while Goodie Two Shoes and The Shunter both warrant respect.

There may well be better to come from GOODIE TWO SHOES, who wasn't disgraced on her first start in handicap company at the Curragh where she was returning from a 5-month break. Entitled to come on for that run and likely to benefit from this step up in trip, the Fastnet Rock filly gets the nod ahead of British import Wandering Rocks and Aurora Princess, who has slipped to an attractive mark in this sphere. Others to consider include the progressive Youcrackmeup and Rushford.

GOODIE TWO SHOES could prove the answer despite top weight. Another filly, Youcrackmeup, is thriving. Wandering Rocks could win

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.
