The Last Mardi

0.8
0.8/1(+42%)
(3) The Last Mardi 0.8/1, Fairly useful hurdler. One win from 3 runs last season. 1/4, still going well when falling 2 out in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.7f, good) 29 days ago (likely to have won). The one to beat.
Outcome was still in doubt when he fell two out at Wexford but should make amends here.

(1) Black Bamboo 3.5/1, Fairly useful winner in bumpers. Offered something to work on when third in a Down Royal maiden (17f) on hurdles debut back in December and feasible to think he can build on that returning to action.
Limerick bumper winner, placed on only start over hurdles, lacks a recent outing.

Won at Wexford on second bumper outing, same 7lb claimer aboard, holds solid place chance.

17:00 Killarney Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Dual bumper winner THE LAST MARDI looks the safest option despite letting his supporters down when sent off at prohibitive odds last time. The Gordon Elliott-trained six-year-old fell two out at Wexford when faced with a strong challenge. However, on the balance of his previous form, the Sholokhov gelding is the one to beat. Walmix, who won a bumper on that aforementioned card, goes straight over hurdles on just his third career start. Although the five-year-old lacks the experience of a few of these rivals, he looked a smart prospect last time. Patricks Hill may not have stayed 3m on his latest outing but had shaped with promise on a couple of occasions over this trip. Trainer Liam Burke likes to have a winner at this meeting, so his representative has to be given close consideration.

THE LAST MARDI had notably travelled best and was still going well when falling 2 out on his latest start at Wexford 4 weeks ago (looked likely winner) and Gordon Elliott's charge is fancied to make amends here. The returning Black Bamboo and recent bumper winner Walmix are others fancied to be thereabouts.

Though possibly vulnerable at the time of his fall two out at Wexford, THE LAST MARDI, hot favourite then, again has strong credentials

Presenting Doyen

11
11/1(+78%)
(6) Presenting Doyen 11/1, Fair hurdler who got off the mark at Kilbeggan (19.2f) in April. Eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (18.8f, good, 9/2) 32 days ago, weakening after 2 out. Needs to bounce back but it does remain early days with her.
Handicap winner in April, would receive 23lb from stablemate Effernock Fizz in a handicap.

Effernock Fizz

2.25
2.25/1(-38%)
(5) Effernock Fizz 2.25/1, Course winner who landed the Welsh Champion Hurdle last autumn and developed into a useful chaser subsequently. Comes here on the back of a disappointing run in Grade 3 hurdle 2 weeks ago but no surprise to see a better showing, not least on these favourable terms.
Versatile nine-time winner, well below her best lately but suited by the race conditions.

Listed bumper winner, two wins over hurdles, badly treated relative to Effernock Fizz.

17:30 Killarney Conditions Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Welsh Champion Hurdle winner EFFERNOCK FIZZ can take this for Kerry born trainer Cian Collins. The eight-year-old has been a real stable stalwart for the Tralee man, winning three races, including at this track last August. Having been set a stiff task when down the field in the Grimes Hurdle recently, the mare is much better suited by these race conditions. The small field should also play to her strengths as it will suit a front runner. Troubled Times, a mare that won on her racecourse debut here last May, had looked a progressive hurdler prior to disappointing at Ballinrobe last time. She was subsequently found to have a genuine excuse for that below par run. Hollymount finished runner-up in this race last year so has most likely had a repeat bid as a long-term target.

EFFERNOCK FIZZ needs to shrug off a lesser effort in Grade 3 company but these are very favourable terms and she's given the vote in the hope she can bounce back. Troubled Times, who shaped better than the bare result at Ballinrobe in May remains one to be positive about and is feared, along with the returning Hollymount.

There is a question mark against the generally admirable EFFERNOCK FIZZ on recent form but she will be hard to beat if near her best

Shaped as if still in good form for a long way when seventh at Downpatrick (17.3f) 33 days ago but mark does demand that little bit more.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Killarney Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PENNY JAR should be spot on for this assignment following a recent spin on the flat at Tramore. The three-time winner over hurdles made significant late ground inside the last furlong, having been denied a clear run earlier in the straight. Paddy Downey's seven-year-old gelding was only just touched off on his most recent start over flights and can race off a pound lower mark here once taking the jockey's claim into account. Arabian King, who won his maiden hurdle over course and distance, made a pleasing stable debut for Cian Collins at Tipperary recently. The seven-year-old gelding should strip fitter here and will most likely have been targeted at the meeting. Away To Milan completes the shortlist following his Wexford victory at the end of May.

The most intriguing option could be PENNY JAR. An improved model when winning 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles last season, there's every chance he will be all the better for a recent return spin on the Flat at Tramore and he can confirm himself still on a good mark back over timber. Away To Milan, a good winner at Wexford in May, and Rock on Pedro head up the dangers, with Navigator Jack also worth a second look.

With the benefit of a recent run on the Flat PENNY JAR (nap) looks to maintain the trend of sustained progress shown last season

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

Although now at the veteran stage, NATURALLY BLOND could be hard to beat in his bid to win at this meeting for the third successive year. The Patrick Cronin-trained 13-year-old easily won on his seasonal debut here two years ago, before producing an even more impressive display 12 months later. Age is certainly not on his side but the Bach gelding has been relatively lightly raced in recent campaigns. Ceanndana won with plenty in hand at Downpatrick last week and while this is a completely different track, the Ross O'Sullivan-trained gelding did finish third here on his only previous visit. Dragon's Pass has been running well in similar races of late and was unlucky not to get closer at Limerick last time. The seven-year-old mare has her ideal conditions so should be capable of a big run.

CEANNDANA was value for extra over the winning distance when a smooth winner at Downpatrick last week and a penalty seems most unlikely to prevent a very bold follow-up bid. Dragon's Pass and Hard Target are reliable operators at this level and are a couple of potential dangers.

If handling the likely softer ground recent Downpatrick winner CEANNDANA can go in again

LTO Selection:

19:10 Killarney Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RICKY LANGFORD exploited a lower hurdles mark at Wexford recently, having previously won off 12lb higher in a handicap chase at this venue. Philip Rothwell has elected to stay over flights with the nine-year-old and that decision looks like being rewarded. Even after being reassessed, the gelding is still on a more favourable rating in this discipline. Presenting Lad was a very easy winner at Roscommon earlier this month but the handicapper has had his say subsequently. However, given the ease with which he travelled throughout that contest, it is difficult to imagine the Mark McNiff-trained seven-year-old not playing a significant role. Charcor has run well on a couple of previous visits to this track and while those were on the flat, he is undoubtedly well handicapped over hurdles.

SOLITARY MAN took a small step forward when runner-up to a Willie Mullins favourite at Ballinrobe in May and with further progress on the cards, he's fancied to open his account at the expense of Presenting Lad, who proved better than ever when scoring at Roscommon recently. Ricky Langford and Bigz Belief can do battle for minor honours.

Recent Roscommon winner PRESENTING LAD gets the vote to see off recent Wexford scorer Ricky Langford

LTO Selection:

19:40 Killarney NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ALLY KAZOO, a half-brother to three black-type winners, is worth a close market check for a stable that have traditionally done well with their bumper horses at this meeting. Derek O'Connor is a significant booking for the Sam Curling-trained gelding. Luckinthecity is another debutant that has to be given close consideration. From a family that has produced plenty of stayers on the flat, the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer is one of the more likely winners. Master Otis sets a fair standard, having finished runner-up on two of his five starts. The Tom Mullins-trained gelding has crucial racecourse experience which could count for plenty if he gets into a battle with one of the newcomers.

Those with racecourse experience don't set a tall standard so LUCKINTHECITY gets the nod to make a winning start for champion trainer Willie Mullins at the expense of Master Otis, who has acquitted himself well in all 5 starts in bumpers so far but was a bit below his best at Tipperary 2 weeks ago. Ally Kazoo and Plaisir des Flos can fight out third spot.

Willie Mullins introduces LUCKINTHECITY and he could well be good enough to score

LTO Selection:

20:15 Killarney NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ROYAL MOON has shaped with promise on all five starts under rules, including when partnered by today's rider on his last two runs. The Edward O'Grady-trained five-year-old is more exposed than a few of these rivals but sets a fair standard that may only be bettered by an above average newcomer. Longview Lady is the most obvious contender from the latter category, given that she represents the Willie Mullins-Jody Townend partnership. Being the first foal of an unraced dam, she is difficult to weigh up but her trainer has an embarrassment of riches in this division. Silver Lark was only just beaten on her debut at Thurles in February but has failed to back that up in two subsequent runs. Perhaps, a return to better ground will see the Gordon Elliott-trained mare recapture her earlier form.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal with SILVER LARK getting the vote to get back on track after a below-par effort at Clonmel 10 weeks ago. Willie Mullins is represented by Longview Lady and she ticks plenty of boxes, with Royal Moon and Minella Diamond another couple worth keeping an eye on.

Hardly original but the nicely-bred LONGVIEW LADY looks a another likely first-time out bumper winner for the Willie Mullins yard

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.
