LTO Selection:

17:00 Killarney Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JUST AN HOUR has some very notable form on the Polytrack in Dundalk. He had two subsequent maiden winners behind him in third and fourth when runner-up over 1m in December. He may not have quite got home when a beaten favourite in third over an extended 1m2f at the end of March, however, the form got a massive boost when the winner won in Listed company at Chester last week. Signatory is highly thought of as he was due to contest a Group 3 in Leopardstown, but was scratched because of heavy ground. This former Dundalk runner-up has to be respected. Better ground and a longer trip give Duke Of Vienna a chance on his first start since switching to Jessica Harrington. The experienced Walsingham, Narmar and The Black Tiger could have something to offer.

Preference is for WALSINGHAM, who found some improvement when third at Gowran earlier this month and sets the standard on that form. Just An Hour and Narmar head the list of dangers.

JUST AN HOUR had his form boosted by San Antonio in the Dee Stakes and that sways the verdict in his favour.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Killarney Stakes 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Several potential improvers having their first start of the season. It might be best to side with Aidan O'Brien's MAYBE JUST MAYBE who is the highest rated on a mark of 98. This filly won her maiden in Leopardstown and has a fourth in a Group 2 at the Curragh in the formbook. She holds an Irish 1,000 Guineas entry. Limerick winner Kayhana didn't really threaten on soft ground in Listed class at Leopardstown, but will enjoy this ground. Similar sentiments apply to Roscommon winner Impact Warrior who wasn't at her best on heavy ground in a Group 3 at Leopardstown. Drummin Life has the advantage of a run this season and is next best in the ratings behind Maybe Just Maybe.

IMPACT WARRIOR failed to cope with the mud/step up in class on just her second start at Leopardstown but a tongue tie goes on now and she's fancied to get back on the up. Maybe Just Maybe is sure to be well prepared for this reappearance and is feared most, ahead of Drummin Life.

This looks tricky but MAYBE JUST MAYBE is the top-rated and gets the nod in the hope that the ground doesn't soften.

LTO Selection:

18:05 Killarney Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Frankel colt FERNAO was gambled on ahead of her debut at Limerick last month and put in plenty of good late work for third after a tardy start. With that experience banked, and better ground on offer here, he is taken to improve. Arniemac wasn't given a hard time in second behind a clear-cut winner at Sligo and is entitled to come on for the run. Most Wanted has looked like a winner waiting to happen after two close third places at Leopardstown and Gowran Park. He drops back in trip and has solid claims. The one caveat is that his sire's progeny are showing a preference for some cut in the ground. This ground is drying out all the time. Caravaggio filly Valkyrie Gray is a newcomer from a strong yard that should be monitored in the market.

ARNIEMAC shaped well on sole start for John Feane last year and did so again starting out for this yard in a 5.7f maiden won by a decent type at Sligo. He was doing all his best worth at the finish there, leaving the strong impression that this step up in trip is just what he needs (pedigree also suggests that this trip, and perhaps further in time, will be far more suitable). He gets the nod ahead of a similar promising type in Fernao. Most Wanted and God Knows are strong candidates, too.

Third on his only two outings MOST WANTED has good prospects here with the form of his Gowran effort boosted by the runner-up

LTO Selection:

18:35 Killarney Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MALACANNE was tough in winning his last two starts on the Polytrack in Dundalk. He gets a visor on this switch to turf and could give weight away to the field, particularly as those Dundalk successes were in higher grades. Sea Spray enters handicap company off a mark of 68 and it is reasonable to assume he could do a bit of damage as he was a close fourth in a Dundalk maiden in November. Dappled Light hasn't been beaten far in his last two starts in Dundalk and races off a lowly mark. He gets first-time cheekpieces. Elmo Lincoln attempted to make all over 7f in Gowran Park before finishing second. He is likely to have more horses behind him than in front of him. Jockey Jamie-Lee Gonet has finished runner-up in two of her three rides to date. She claims 10lb from Gunsight.

ELMO LINCOLN upped his game when second on handicap debut at Gowran last month and remains low mileage. He gets the nod. Sea Spray and Malacanne head the list of dangers.

In great form when last seen at Dundalk but had good turf form too, MALACANNE can continue his winning run.

19:05 Killarney Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MISS CUNNING has a shot at following up her Cork success. The horses that chased her home in second and third have both come out and won on their next starts to really strengthen the form. In fact, the third-placed horse has won two races since Cork. Simply Sideways also arrives in winning form after a comfortable victory in Gowran Park. Afterwards, her trainer commented that she has got bigger and stronger. That gives her a chance of defying the handicapper who has tacked on 12lb. Double Martini was only beaten by a head on his last start in Dundalk. Rock Etoile and Kodiac Prince also have claims.

The suggestion is KODIAC PRINCE who stepped up on his reappearance when third at Gowran last week and looks capable of exploiting his current mark. Born Invincible wasn't seen to best effect in a big field at the Curragh last month and is an interesting contender having dipped below her last successful mark. Recent easy Gowran scorer Simply Sideways and Rock Etoile are others to consider.

This could be a good opportunity for KODIAC PRINCE who has become competitive again now that he is 9lb below his last winning mark

LTO Selection:

19:35 Killarney Handicap 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BAROMETER has an each-way chance at this trip. The last time he raced over an extended 2m on the Flat, he was a comfortable winner in Tramore and that was on better ground. Rich Belief kept on well for Seamie Heffernan to score over 1m5f in Navan. The duo are reunited here and another big run looks on the cards. Grappa Nonino is up in trip in this sphere, but has performed well in recent hurdle races including when he won at Navan in March. The Jam Man has switched stables and is more than capable of showing up well. It is worth noting that he has 11 victories across all codes. Swelltime fell when disputing the lead at the penultimate obstacle in a handicap hurdle at Limerick in March. He has plenty of form on the Flat to advertise his chance, though.

It's been a while since TAKARENGO last hit the target but he resumes in this sphere on a workable mark and is clearly in good nick judged on his solid effort over fences at Clonmel last month. The 7-y-o is marginally preferred to the Dermot Weld-trained Grappa Nonino, who was successful over hurdles in March and he put in a good shift back on the Flat at Sligo recently. Rich Belief, a winner at Navan on his reappearance, also has claims, along with Barometer and Swelltime.

It may be worth taking a chance with AWAY TO SEA who finished second in this race last year on his seasonal debut

LTO Selection:

20:10 Killarney Stakes 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Taipan is best in at the weights and this 100-rated gelding was only caught close home over an extended 1m4f at Tipperary last month. He is sure to be popular, but slight preference is for Paul Nolan's HMS SEAHORSE. He is better known for his hurdling exploits, but is more than proficient on the Flat as he showed when landing a premier handicap at the Curragh last summer. He has form on good ground. Spasiba is the dark horse. He has only had three runs and is up in trip. He won his maiden at Roscommon and wasn't beaten far in his other two races. Venice Biennale isn't out of contention.

TAIPAN has returned this spring with a pair of runner-up efforts and is taken to get his head back in front now. The unexposed Spasiba is second choice ahead of Venice Biennale.

The conditions of the race suit TAIPAN who gets a hopeful vote to improve a modest strike rate that hardly reflects his ability

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.
