16:45 Laytown Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This is a drop in class that DREAM TODAY can take advantage of. It is worth noting that he travelled notably well on the beach last year before winning by more than two lengths. He landed that race off a mark of 80 and effectively returns to Laytown off 69 with Cian MacRedmond's claim factored in. He is the only Laytown winner in the field which is a big advantage. Transcendental is dropping down the weights and looks to be on a decent mark as just four runs back she won a quality handicap in the Curragh off 1lb higher. Aloysius Lilius won on his penultimate start in Tipperary and is capable of going well. James McAuley fields Sunday Sovereign and Jaafel, and neither can be ruled out. The former would be particularly dangerous if given rope off the front.

Having won at this meeting last year, the assessor has given DREAM TODAY a major chance of repeating the trick. Transcendental and Jaafel are a couple of potential threats.

A winner here last year, Dream Today is feared but TAMAZU should be able to find a nice rhythm on this surface and is taken to score

17:15 Laytown Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAMROGUE won this race last year and warmed up for another big run when beaten half a length into second at Cork in July. She is undoubtedly well handicapped as she competes off 10lb lower than when taking the honours 12 months ago. Interestingly, she has had the same preparation as last year when she was put away after winning at Cork in July. Jered Maddox ran a stormer in second at 33/1 in a big-field handicap at Cork earlier this month. This is his first visit to the beach, but he has extensive experience on the sand in Dundalk to call upon. Zig Zag Zyggy is on a very handy mark and Adam Caffrey takes 5lb off his back. This is a new trip for Barnhill Rose, but she arrives in winning form over an extended 7f at Roscommon. Teddy Boy, Rocky Dreams and Markievicz cannot be ruled out while reserve Eriskay would have a chance if getting a run.

SAMROGUE beat Teddy Boy in this last year and they might be the pair to focus on again with Ross O'Sullivan's mare taken to come out on top again. Recent Dundalk claiming winner Rocky Dreams also makes the shortlist.

Having returned to form when touched off at Cork, SAMROGUE is handicapped to repeat last year's success in this sprint

17:45 Laytown Claimer 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

YESTER ran more than creditably on the beach last year when pipped by a head in a a maiden over this trip and can go one better. Trainer James McAuley has a good handle on this grade of race and claimed Yester after he was beaten just over two lengths into fourth at Dundalk in July. Rachael Blackmore is a notable booking for Clarinbridge who won on penultimate start over an extended 7f at Ayr. General Idea's eighth place in Cork can be marked up as he was beaten just over two lengths at the finish, and the handicapper has dropped him a further 1lb.

YESTER is hardly one for maximum faith but he ran a bit better in a Dundalk claimer last time and was second in a maiden at this meeting last year so perhaps he can finally get off the mark. The Rachael Blackmore-ridden Clarinbridge is second choice ahead of General Idea.

His C&D second to a horse now rated 100 really stands out and this is a big chance for YESTER (nap) to finally get a win on the board

18:15 Laytown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BAALBEC BEAUTY left a trio of unplaced runs well behind when pipped by a neck in Gowran Park. The horse that beat her endorsed the form when following up in Killarney. Allo Arry has been placed in two of his last three outings and should be a factor under 5lb-claimer Adam Caffrey. Expound takes a marked drop in trip in a bid to snap a string of five placed runs in a row. His consistency is likely to stand to him in this company. Knight Sleeper is far from exposed and tries a new trip while Ta Na La reverts back to the Flat after hurdling, and has placed form at Dundalk in the book.

EXPOUND's limitations are pretty well established but he probably won't get a better chance to win a maiden if handling the track. Baalbec Beauty and Ta Na La head the opposition.

This looks a good opportunity for EXPOUND to finally get off the mark and see his consistency rewarded.

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

Adrian McGuinness and Patrick Mullins teamed up to win this race last year and could repeat the feat with HIGHTIMEYOUWON. This seven-year-old gelding just shaded a handicap at Leopardstown by a short head last month and goes to war off the same mark of 80. This is a competitive race and Barbapapa brings plenty to it as he was another winner at Leopardstown in August. Jockey John Gleeson's 5lb claim is a bonus. Set Point has been keeping good company over flights and was runner-up in a valuable contest at Bellewstown in July. He should be competitive here. Royal Pippen and Punk Poet are both in contention for prize money.

The handicapper has been quick to relent regarding TAI SING YEH and given his AW record, hopes are high on this surface. Barbapapa is a low-mileage 4-y-o going the right way so he's a threat, along with Hightimeyouwon.

A few with chances. BARBAPAPA benefited from an enterprising ride last time but could still follow up off what remains a good mark.

19:15 Laytown Stakes 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Joseph O'Brien holds a very strong hand with VEGA MAGNIFICO and Arniemac. The former is comfortably the highest rated in the field with a mark of 98 and should relish this marked drop in class. He wasn't a factor in the Irish Cambridgeshire at the Curragh or in a Listed race at Roscommon, however, just three runs back he finished a close third in Listed class at Leopardstown. Arniemac was last seen decisively winning a maiden at Killarney in May. Winners have come out of that race and he ought to go well in this company. Herculaneum is rated 1lb inferior to Arniemac on a mark of 82 and was a comprehensive winner of a staying handicap at Down Royal in July. This trip is sharp for him, but he is well ahead of the remainder on official ratings.

On the face of it, ARNIEMAC faces a stiff task against stablemate Vega Magnifico, given that he would be meeting that rival on 15 lb better terms if this were a handicap. Conversely, the son of Fascinating Rock looked good when winning a Killarney maiden on his latest start and, with just three starts under his belt, he is armed with potential. The Joseph O'Brien-trained duo look set to fight out the finish, with Herculaneum expected to claim minor place money.

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.

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.
