(5) Kaptain Bay 15/8, Fair maiden on the Flat and placed both starts over hurdes, second of 13 in juvenile hurdle (7/4) at Ballinrobe (17.9f, good) 22 days ago, running on. That just about sets the standard.
Not far from winning one of these although this is probably a tougher ask than Ballinrobe.

13:55 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAGIC THUNDER, Naturally Nimble, Game Phoenix and Kaptain Bay look the ones to focus on, with preference for the Gordon Elliott-trained former. While he doesn't jump off the page on breeding, he won both starts on the level in his native France. Sure to be well schooled for his first try over flights, the Gigginstown House Stud-owned bay is likely to go close. After many good efforts in defeat, Naturally Nimble belatedly opened his account at Navan early last month, with Dylan Browne McMonagle later stating: "I think the best is yet to come." Game Phoenix and Kaptain Bay have the advantage of prior hurdling experience. Both filled the runner-up spot when last seen over flights and it'll come as no surprise if either manages to go a place better.

Those with hurdles experience do not set the bar too high so Flat winners NATURALLY NIMBLE and Magic Thunder may come to the fore. There's more substance to the form of the Joseph O'Brien inmate so he gets the vote. Kaptain Bay should be on the premises again.

The form of Joseph O'Brien in juvenile hurdles has been strong, and 83-rated Flat performer NATURALLY NIMBLE should be hard to beat

14:30 Gowran Park Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

While Apple's Of Bresil is likely to prove popular with punters, he failed to justify favouritism when last seen at Galway and it might be worth taking him on. COUMEENOOLE, Colonel Nelson and Taponthego are interesting point-to-point graduates in the line-up, with preference for the Paul Nolan-trained former. Previously in the care of the shrewd Jonathan Fogarty and a winner on debut at Ballindenisk in May, he beat Millforce into second, with that one successful in both starts since. Out of a smart four-time winner, the selection was bought by current connections for 180,000 pounds. The aforementioned Colonel Nelson and Taponthego are both capable of making an impact, while Wexford runner-up Laravie is another leading hope.

COUMEENOOLE and Taponthego are interesting recruits form the pointing field and the former, who fetched £180,000 after winning his sole start in that sphere, is marginally preferred. Apple's of Bresil is much the best of those with experience under Rules and will be a big threat.

It is hard to look beyond APPLE'S OF BRESIL, unlucky in a pair of Galway maiden hurdles with the step up in trip likely to suit

15:05 Gowran Park Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

While the forecast rain is a worry, it's difficult to look beyond the hat-trick seeking TALK IN THE PARK. He readily accounted for 19 rivals when last seen at Galway in July and although now on a career-high mark of 126, he will be aided by the 7lb claim of Tom Harney. Peter Smithers also takes 7lb off top-weight Happy Jacky, with this likeable 10-year-old the second choice. Successful three times from six starts this year, he is arguably in the form of his life at present. Handicap debutants Rosalys and Rocky's Diamond are of definite interest, while others for the shortlist are Beaufort Scale, Flash De Touzaine and admirable veteran Macgiloney.

The vote goes to ROSALYS, who did the job well when opening her account at Tramore and she can be expected to make further progress now pitched into a handicap. Rocky's Diamond is also open to improvement now handicapping and he is feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Talk In The Park and Beaufort Scale.

Preference is for the hat-trick seeking TALK IN THE PARK. He's up 10lb for Galway but his jockey claims 7lb and he should stay 3m.

Dual Grade 2 winner, this will suit better than Galway on latest, dangerous to dismiss.

15:40 Gowran Park Conditions Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Gordon Elliott and Willie Mullins both saddle two, in what is a quality renewal of this Grade 2 contest. Elliott's CONFLATED is the only runner in the line-up to have won at the highest level and looks the one to beat. A brilliant servant to connections, the 10-year-old was third in the Ryanair at Cheltenham in March, before running another excellent race in defeat when second to Jonbon in the Melling at Aintree. Saint Sam and Saint Roi are the Mullins representatives and both have race fitness on their side. The hat-trick seeking former was last seen winning over flights at Auteuil and is sure to prove popular with punters. Ash Tree Meadow finished ahead of French Dynamite, Saint Roi and Solness in the Galway Plate and can confirm his superiority over those rivals now.

This represents a good opportunity for CONFLATED to get his head back in front, for all that the Willie Mullins-trained pair Saint Roi and Saint Sam will offer stern resistance. The selection hasn't managed to hit the target since landing the Savills Chase at Leopardstown in December 2022, but his last six starts (and 13 of his last 14 appearances overall) have been in Grade 1 company and he will appreciate this drop in class.

Back in a smaller field, ASH TREE MEADOW could be the answer. This is his optimum trip and he is narrowly preferred over Saint Sam.

16:15 Gowran Park Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

After yet another brave front-running performance at Roscommon on Monday, KILASHEE is taken to follow up. The admirable John Ryan-trained nine-year-old has already won five times this season and while up to a career-high mark over fences, she will be aided by the 5lb claim of Conor Stone-Walsh. Returning from a break, Midnight Our Fred is an obvious danger. Placed on his last four starts and third on his most recent outing in the Killarney National, the seven-year-old certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. Handicap debutant Caesar Rock, Kilbeggan runner-up Banjaxed and Noel Meade's Charlie Luciano are others for the shortlist.

CHARLIE LUCIANO looked ahead of his mark last time and has a fully-fledged rider back on board, so he gest the nod over Kilashee, who showed a good attitude to score at Roscommon 5 days ago. Banjaxed also merits plenty of respect.

The one that appeals most is CHARLIE LUCIANO(nap). His run at Kilbeggan was encouraging and he has run well here over hurdles before.

16:50 Gowran Park Maiden Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MOSSY FEN PARK easily won a Nenagh point-to-point for Sean Doyle and showed smart form over hurdles, winning a maiden at the Down Royal Christmas meeting before finishing second to Captain Cody, also over this trip, in a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse. He was subsequently bought for 235,000 pounds to stay with Henry de Bromhead and rates an exciting recruit to fences. Rainbow Trail has a similar profile to the selection and was just denied on his only point start before landing a bumper and Navan maiden hurdle last season. Point-to-point winner Encanto Bruno looked smart when gaining a fourth success under Rules in a Cheltenham novice hurdle last autumn, but has proved disappointing since.

MOSSY FEN PARK was last seen (in March) finishing second in the Easter Festival Novices' Hurrdle at Fairyhouse and, given his background in points, it's notable that he makes an early switch to chasing for his return, so he's the one to side with for all that both Encanto Bruno and Rainbow Trail are other notable newcomers in this sphere.

A chance is taken on AN PEANN DEARG. He is proven on good ground, he has an experience edge over most of his rivals and he is fit.

17:25 Gowran Park Handicap Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JUNOT was generally consistent in handicap hurdles last season before opening his account at Wexford in May. The Mick Winters-trained gelding hasn't really fired on his latest two appearances, but perhaps the switch to fences will prove the spark as he ran a cracker on his only chase start at Clonmel earlier this year. Joeswayornoway gained the latest of two wins over fences at Killarney nearly two years ago but gave some encouragement when reappearing over hurdles at Wexford, while Finnians Row, Aliunde and Kate Ill Know are others to consider. Birdsandthebees has been supported on a number of occasions over hurdles, including at Punchestown this summer, and it will be interesting to see how she fares in her first chase.

ALIUNDE made a big impression when making a successful chasing debut and there were excuses for a lesser effort at Downpatrick since, so he looks the one to side with for all that Finnians Row arrives in good order. Kate Ill Know is a player but most of the others have plenty to prove.

Preference is for consistent top-weight FINNIANS ROW, who followed a fourth at Kilbeggan race with a close second at Downpatrick latest

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.
