LTO Selection:

16:15 Kilbeggan Maiden Hurdle 15f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, the best prediction for a horse that may do well would be Ages of Man. The horse recently had its best performance and is expected to perform well in maiden company. Bridgehead also has a chance due to its past performances in both flat and hurdle races. Other horses in the race have not had impressive results in previous races, making it less likely for them to do well.

BRIDGEHEAD sets a good standard. He is returning from an absence of more than six months, but has finished runner-up in both starts over hurdles and the form looks strong. He was a close second in Punchestown, when last seen, and the winner went on to be placed in a Grade 2 juvenile hurdle at Cheltenham. The horse that beat him by a head in Ballinrobe came out and won on his next start. This sharp track could suit Ages Of Man if he adopts front-running tactics.He attempted to make all on his last start in a Fairyhouse novice handicap hurdle and had to settle for second place. He has shown enough form to make the breakthrough particularly when third in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle last year. Wasthatok has finished behind some useful sorts in bumpers and is interesting on his hurdle debut.

A case of quantity over quality which may develop into a match between BRIDGEHEAD and Ages of Man, the former taken to go one better than on both previous efforts in this sphere provided he's ready to roll after 6 months off. Wasthatok and So They Tell Me can battle out third spot.

Ages Of Man has a possible race-fitness advantage but preference is for the reappearing BRIDGEHEAD

LTO Selection:

16:50 Kilbeggan Maiden Hurdle 15f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the information provided, the horse with the most promising chances appears to be Charlie Luciano, as it has shown strong performances in hurdling before and is favored to perform well in this race. Other promising horses include Starman and Up And Out, although they are considered to be less likely to win than Charlie Luciano.

CHARLIE LUCIANO has finished runner-up in two of his four hurdle races and wouldn't be winning out of turn. A spin on the Flat at Dundalk last month should have blown the cobwebs away. Gordon Elliott's Up And Out was pulled up on his last start when he got bogged down on heavy ground at Wexford in October. He is coming off a break, but has two placed efforts on better ground in the book. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him show up well. Starman ran freely when a beaten favourite in Clonmel. If he settles better, he could get in the mix. Hey Skipper is a half-brother to a horse that has won seven times over hurdles, so isn't without hope on debut.

Having finished runner-up twice in this sphere last year, CHARLIE LUCIANO gets the verdict to go one better arriving on the back of a spin on the level at Dundalk early last month. Starman was a very disappointing favourite at Clonmel last month, but he may well get back on track here, with Up And Out and He Picked Us another couple to consider.

Providing the ground continues to dry out CHARLIE LUCIANO looks to have a good chance of providing trainer Noel Meade with a double

LTO Selection:

17:20 Kilbeggan Handicap Hurdle 15f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, Doyenna 2 seems to be the strongest contender, having won recently and placing well in previous races. Tipp For Mac and The Big Chap also have potential, having performed well in recent races, while Mister Wilson and Second Subaltern are both lightly-raced but could surprise as they make their handicap hurdle debut. The other horses mentioned are less likely to win based on their recent performances.

DOYENNA is a useful mare who could be worth chancing on her return to action. She was unplaced in a Grade 3 mares' novice hurdle at Down Royal in November, but that was on unsuitable soft ground. She had earned a crack at that company by posting two victories over flights in Tramore and Fairyhouse. She will welcome this drying ground. Tipp For Mac was still in with a chance when unseating his rider at the last in Downpatrick. Rachael Blackmore stays loyal and the pair have brighter prospects than most. Second Subaltern showed ability in bumpers and could make an impact on handicap hurdle debut. The Big Chap and Steppenwolf will have their supporters. First-reserve I Don't Get It won off the front in Downpatrick and is likely to make this a searching test if getting a run.

SET POINT was fairly useful on the Flat and, while he hasn't reached that level yet over hurdles, there's every chance he will improve now handicapping, so he's preferred to Doyenna, who is down in grade. Tipp For Mac looked likely to win had he not unseated at the last at Downpatrick 18 days ago, so he's another obvious player.

After unseating when holding every chance at Downpatrick TIPP FOR MAC can gain compensation here

LTO Selection:

17:50 Kilbeggan Handicap Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, Bal De Rio seems to be the most promising contender as it won its last race comfortably and remains well treated on old form. However, if I had to give a preference, I would go with Lucky Zebo as it has shown promise on penultimate outing and has potential now handicapping. The other contenders either have below-average form or are yet to prove themselves in handicap hurdles.

GOLDEN SANDBANKS could exploit a hurdle mark 11lb lower than his chase rating. His second place in a rated novice chase at Cork in October reads very well as the winner has landed another three races since then, including a Grade B handicap chase at Leopardstown. Golden Sandbanks has been in decent nick on the Flat in winning at Dundalk in November and returning with a close fourth at the same venue last month. She's Tobias has switched to Ciaran Murphy and looks dangerous. She was second in maiden company at Roscommon in September before being a beaten favourite in third in a Sligo handicap hurdle the following month. The two horses that beat her have both scored since. Bal De Rio has won two of his last three. Those races were on testing ground, however, he has back form on better ground. Mister Twist is another to consider.

SHE'S TOBIAS shaped well on several occasions last season and is open to improvement back up in trip starting out for a new stable, so he's worth chancing. Lucky Zebo might well get back on the up, so he's regarded as a danger along with last-time-out winner Bal de Rio.

The manner in which BAL DE RIO (nap) justified market support at Ballinrobe suggested he could defy a penalty over this longer trip

LTO Selection:

18:20 Kilbeggan Handicap Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Ballyglass Beauty has a good chance of doing well based on the encouraging third place finish in the last race and previous success in beauty courses. Cheerful Chap and Dr Val also have potential based on past performances.

Drying ground will will have a big part to play in this race. BALLYGLASS BEAUTY ran a fair race in third, in the same grade, on soft ground at Thurles in March. His sole victory came on better ground over a similar trip at this track last September. Townhill Penny won over an extended 2m5f at Downpatrick last August. That success came on better ground, so she should relish this assignment. Prominent-racer Cheerful Chap has a shot at his second victory over hurdles. He was only beaten half a length into second over an extended 3m at Punchestown in February. He may prefer the ground to be a bit slower, though. Ray Barron takes 7lb off Desert Heather's back and this mare is performing consistently since graduating to the track after three point-to-point successes.

BALLYGLASS BEAUTY should be spot on after his encouraging Thurles third after a break so this course winner gets the vote in an open-looking handicap. Dr Val is also handily weighted and next on the list, especially if the fitting of blinkers ekes out more improvement, with in-form duo Townhill Penny and Cheerful Chap completing the shortlist.

Cases can be made for more than half of these but maybe the consistent BALLYGLASS BEAUTY can get a second win on the board

LTO Selection:

18:50 Kilbeggan NH Flat Race 15f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, Final Decision appears to be the leading contender as it has improved in its recent races and performed well in the previous mares maiden bumper at Thurles. I Am Shadow has also consistently finished in the frame in all four starts this season and could give another good account. Slim Marvel and Noble Annys are also shortlisted as they have shown some ability in their recent races. The rest of the horses seem unlikely to do well in this race based on their previous performances.

While FINAL DECISION is one of the more exposed mares in this contest, the Anthony McCann-trained four-year-old sets a reasonable standard for the opposition to match. Following a promising debut at Doncaster in November, the daughter of Iffraaj has posted fair efforts in three subsequent outings. If anything, her latest run, when a close third at Thurles in February, was her best piece of form to date. River Tara looks opposable on bare form but the very fact she makes her debut for Willie Mullins now makes her one to be interested in. Although her Killarney fifth probably wouldn't suffice, improvement should be forthcoming. I Am Shadow is a relatively consistent mare who also looks capable of going close in this ordinary affair.

FINAL DECISION left her previous form behind when third at Thurles last time, keeping on having been denied a clear run home turn, and she can build on that effort to open her account this time around. The 4-y-o is taken to get the better of the consistent I Am Shadow, while Slim Marvel could progress from her Rules debut.

The drying ground should suit FINAL DECISION who showed improved form last time and she gets the vote ahead of Slim Marvel

LTO Selection:

19:20 Kilbeggan NH Flat Race 15f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as there is not enough information about their recent form or potential. However, some horses to consider include Chrisco, who showed promise on their NH debut and comes from a stable in good form, and Our Uncle Jack, who has been shortlisted and has a hood on for the first time. Market indicators may also be important for horses such as Force Of The Moon and Vector Belle.

SOLDANTE should find this easier, having competed in stronger races since making his racecourse debut at Galway in October. Since then, the five-year-old has finished runner-up on two occasions and acquitted himself well on the other start. In a race which doesn't appear to hold too many surprises, he can get his head in front for the first time. Better was clearly expected of Chrisco when the Willie Mullins-trained gelding was a beaten odds-on favourite on his debut at Fairyhouse back in January. Given plenty of time to recover from those exertions, it would be surprising if we don't see a much better performance now. Brandt also failed to deliver when heading the market on his initial foray under rules but, he too, can show his true potential in this finale.

CHRISCO made a promising start, despite failing to land the odds, when third at Fairyhouse so can take a step forward here and get off the mark at the chief expense of Brandt who also looks to have better days ahead of him judged on his debut Punchestown sixth. Soldante has the form to play a part too and rates the pick of the rest.

Local hope SOLDANTE and the Mullins representative Chrisco stand out on form with slight preference for the former

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.
