LTO Selection:

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

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

Having run his two best races to date on ground with a significant ease, ROMFORD could be set to open his account. The Kieran Cotter-trained gelding needs to prove his stamina at this trip but being out of a mare that was placed over ten furlongs, he should have every chance of doing so. Thia shaped with a degree of promise in maidens earlier in the year and while he hasn't improved since making the switch to handicaps, this doesn't look the strongest of contests. The Jim Bolger-trained son of Vocalised has to have solid claims. Rogerwaswrong has gradually improved with racing, putting in his best performance when third at Bellewstown last month. It would be no great surprise to see the Sean Davis-trained gelding go a couple of places better.

Not a previous winner in the line-up and THIA is given a tentative vote before any market clues. Dont Do Dramas and Maria Land are a couple of potential improvers now handicapping at such a low level.

Some unexposed ones lurk and the market needs checking. As things stand, ROMFORD should go well after a decent latest effort.

LTO Selection:

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

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

OLD FAITHFUL can record a first career win here having shaped with plenty of promise on his opening three runs. The Aidan O'Brien-trained colt finished third in what was potentially a decent maiden at the Curragh on debut before suffering an odds on reversal at this venue on his second outing. However, he ran into traffic problems on that occasion so it is best ignored. The form of his second in a Listowel Rated Race last time looks very good relative to the opposition he encounters here. Thor's Hammer finished runner-up twice prior to running a big race in the Goff's Million at the Curragh last time. The Johnny Murtagh-trained colt should play a leading role. Man Of Worth is a potentially interesting newcomer who should be monitored closely in the betting.

Aidan O'Brien saddles 3 interesting runners, with THE EUPHRATES arguably the most interesting of the trio given his eye-catching debut under a kind ride. Old Faithful sets the standard, while support for Man of Worth on debut would need respecting.

Aidan O'Brien has a strong hand and, while OLD FAITHFUL hasn't been making life easy for himself, he just about has the best form.

LTO Selection:

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

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

ALPHERATZ can go one better having run a big race on debut when runner-up at Thurles earlier this month. Trainer Joseph Murphy wouldn't be known for producing juvenile debut winners so there is every probability that the Phoenix Of Spain filly will have come forward from that initial outing. Port Fairy, a daughter of Australia who holds a Guineas entry, has to be respected on her racecourse debut. With the majority of those that have already seen the racecourse appearing vulnerable, it would be no surprise to see an unraced filly overtake them. Lively Set made a promising introduction when only beaten a length at Navan and wasn't disgraced when upped in class in a decent Sales Race last time. She is certainly capable of being involved in the finish.

ALPHERATZ produced a promising first effort when runner-up at Thurles and can go one place better with improvement likely. Port Fairy and Strolling are a couple of interesting newcomers so need they keeping an eye on.

Jessica Harrington's FLEUR DE CHINE ran an eyecatching race at Naas and she's bred to handle these testing conditions.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

YUZU is weighted to turn the tables on Sneddy Eddie here and may appreciate this trip a bit better. The Jessica Harrington-trained filly stuck on well to push her rival to a head at Bellewstown last time on testing ground and it looked then like that winner was reaching the end of his stamina over a slightly shorter trip. The selection is 2lb better off and also has Jamie Powell taking off 3lb this time. Silkies Sib comes here in winning form and has to be respected given the form of his trainer. Wayne Hassett takes a valuable 7lb off his back.

LESIEUX has been knocking on the door lately and might prove the answer to this wide-open handicap for the Ado McGuinness team. Yuzu and Ano Manna arrive on the back of creditable placed efforts and should be in the shake-up. Silkies Sib will also have a part to play if as effective without the hood he wore when successful at Tipperary last time.

Bellewstown runner-up YUZU is tipped to emerge best in a rematch with Lisieux and Sneddy Eddie.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Gowran Park Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Wesley Joyce has been riding really well since his return and can bag another winner here on MANHATTAN DANDY. The six-year-old has hit form lately and won really well in testing conditions at Bellewstown last time. A 6lb rise for that convincing victory doesn't look harsh. In-form trainer Tim Doyle saddles Pink Socks, who was narrowly denied on her last visit here, and she looks a danger. What Adaay is another who comes here in fine form. She bumped into one, in Wrist Art, last time and looks on a competitive mark.

Lots with chances but MANHATTAN DANDY arrives on the up so is fancied to defy a 6 lb rise and follow up his recent Bellewstown success. Both Starting Monday and Fastman arrive on handy-looking marks so could emerge as the chief threats to Thomas Coyle's 6-y-o. What Adaay completes the shortlist.

A good few with chances. STARTING MONDAY won't be far away if getting the breaks, which wasn't the case last time.

LTO Selection:

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

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

RANDALL POETS LASS made a promising seasonal debut at Navan in early September and progressed from that to finish runner-up in another mile maiden at Listowel. Nearest at the finish on that occasion, she seems sure to be suited by this longer trip and is proven on testing ground. Feathertop was third to a subsequent Group 3 winner over C&D before finishing runner-up at Cork. She didn't see out her race at the Curragh last time but is rated 2lb higher than the selection. Vera's Secret almost made a winning debut over this trip at Punchestown and 6f was too sharp a trip for her at the Curragh. Royal Cloud, fitted with a tongue-tie, was fourth on testing ground at Killarney and is entitled to improve from that debut while Catwalk Couture, who ran with promise on her sole juvenile outing, looked ring-rusty when reappearing at Bellewstown and should be sharper here.

RANDALL POETS LASS continued the theme of race-by-race progress when second at Listowel a month ago and she's the one to beat. Vera's Secret was disappointing last time but is a definite threat on her debut effort, with Feathertop another to consider.

Slight preference is for RANDALL POETS LASS, who should be suited by this longer trip on the evidence of two staying-on runs over 1m

LTO Selection:

17:25 Gowran Park Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TIMELESS PIECE handled heavy ground well when winning at Killarney last month with Rioja Alta back in third. The selection, who was a course winner earlier in the season, has been given a 5lb hike for that latest success but as a lightly-raced three-year-old could have more to offer. Rioja Alta was making his handicap debut at Killarney and is entitled to be better for the experience. No Hassle failed in her hat-trick bid when fourth at Down Royal but it was still a creditable run as was shown by the handicapper tacking on another 3lb to her mark. Her wins came on good ground but she has decent form on a soft surface. John O'Donoghue's horses are finishing the turf season in good form and Nomenclature, beaten little more than a length when fourth in a Listowel maiden, merits respect on handicap debut.

The vote goes to BIG ISLAND, who has been given a chance by the handicapper, now 5 lb below the mark off which he was third of 16 at Limerick on his latest start in this sphere in April. He has finished runner-up twice over hurdles since, including last time at Kilbeggan, and conditions won't be a problem for this 6-y-o (has won on soft/heavy). Though below par on their latest starts, Oriole and Pale Moonlight could both take a hand in the finish if on-song.

But for meeting interference, RIOJA ALTA (nap) would have finished closer to Timeless Piece at Killarney. He can reverse the form.

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.
