13:15 Leopardstown Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Found's sister RUBIES ARE RED showed promise last October and is proven on heavy ground. Regally bred, she finished behind previously-raced fillies at Galway, when meeting minor traffic, and is open to vast improvement. That Galway runner-up (Kisiyra) had finished well behind Galileo Dame when the pair made their respective debuts at Gowran last October. Galileo Dame, a 125,000-euro breeze-up purchase, was beaten by a now 103-rated winner in that Gowran race and while open to improvement, might lack high-class ability. Flight Or Fancy ran well at Cork (the runner-up and fourth won subsequently) and while she has an excellent pedigree, is Ballydoyle's second string. Tranquillitatis is a half-sister to her trainer's smart pair Piz Badile and Yosemite Valley, while Purple Sky is out of an unraced dam who is related to useful winners. Luxurious Princess is out of a half-sister to French/Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Bachir and cost just 5,000 euros as a yearling, while Ob La Di is the first foal from a Listed-placed dam.

RUBIES ARE RED and Galileo Dame both shaped well first time out and are likely improvers, so they're likely to dominate this, with the first named marginally preferred. Flight of Fancy, a stablemate of the selection, also has some potential.

Ballydoyle won this last year with subsequent Irish Oaks winner Savethelastdance and could have the answer with RUBIES ARE RED

13:45 Leopardstown Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ORTELIUS meets far more testing ground than what he raced on as a juvenile and might have enough ability to cope. Slowly away when running really well on debut (the third, fourth and fifth each won subsequently), he was well held on good to firm ground at Newmarket subsequently but nonetheless showed form and should progress. The Equator was a beaten favourite when running well on debut and while stablemate Chief Little Rock finished second and is now rated 107, he undoubtedly flattered the form when finishing fast. Invention, a brother to an Irish Oaks runner-up, has testing-ground form but is vulnerable to smart types. Benvoy showed promise on debut and has been gelded since his less encouraging Dundalk run. It is notable Colin Keane is allowed off Himalayan Heights to ride Mick Collins, which is out of half-sister to a Group 2 winner while Inner Success is his stallion's first runner and whose winning dam has already produced a Group-placed performer. Slaneyside is a half-brother to six-time winner Fratas.

ORTELIUS holds the edge on form so Aidan O'Brien's colt is taken to make a winning return at the chief expense of his stablemate The Equator who also looks to have better days ahead of him. Invention and Himalayan Heights appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Despite ground concerns ORTELIUS looks the one to beat, although stablemate The Equator and Invention look likely dangers

14:15 Leopardstown Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CHARMING STAR won over hurdles recently and is proven on heavy ground. Out of a Group 2 winner and by Sea The Stars, he can race lazily and runs in a first-time visor but being a four-year-old, can continue to progress. Global Energy also revels on heavy and is 7lb higher than when winning the mini-Lincoln last month. He has winning form at this distance and has obvious claims, but is more exposed than the selection. Race-fit Walhaan's Irish Flat form is on a sound surface, but he won on heavy in France in 2018 and has hurdling form on testing ground, so should compete. Both Mr Rango's wins have been at this distance and he ran well on his recent reappearance, with Duke Of Leggagh finishing seventh. Givemehoperosa finished behind Queenie St Clair last October before winning a heavy-ground C&D maiden, but she faces a tougher task on her reappearance.

MR RANGO is on a fair mark and shaped as if he'd strip fitter for his stable debut when third at Naas last time. Back up in trip, he's fancied to capitalise on a handy mark, with Global Energy regarded as the chief threat. Givemehoperose should also give a good account.

Quite highly tried in his younger days GLOBAL ENERGY seems to have found his level and can complete the hat-trick

14:45 Leopardstown Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GALLANTLY improved from his debut when finishing second on testing ground at Naas last October. By Frankel and out of a French 1000 Guineas winner, he holds a Dante entry and while yet to show star qualities, can put his experience to good use. Naturally Nimble himself ran well on debut last September, finishing behind a subsequent Group 3 winner. He too should handle heavy ground and while the third-placed horse at Galway is exposed, Naturally Nimble finished his race nicely, suggesting he will improve. The regally-bred Mundi is a brother to Churchill, among others, but is stable second string and is sure to benefit from his debut, with heavy ground likely to inconvenience. Norwalk Havoc was well beaten on debut last May, while Your Out Of Line is the first foal from a winning dam.

Joseph O'Brien's NATURALLY NIMBLE made a promising start when runner-up at Galway and can build on that on his seasonal return to fend of the Aidan O'Brien-trained duo Gallantly and Mundi who both pose big threats.

No match for subsequent Eyrefield Stakes winner Grosvenor Square on his debut at Galway, NATURALLY NIMBLE may master the Ballydoyle duo

15:15 Leopardstown Listed 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GOLDANA ran well on last month's comeback and receives weight from today's principal rivals. A 2022 Listed winner when trained in Germany, she is suited by testing ground and this distance, with her reappearance run pleasing because she conceded 20lb to the two three-year-olds who defeated her. Lord Massusus has soft-ground form and progressed well last year to finish second in a Group 2 at Newmarket. He was two lengths ahead of Self Belief at Cork last September, when 4lb better off, and should confirm those placings as Self Belief's best form is over slightly further. Power Under Me disappointed in that Cork race, when reported to be post-race normal. A dual C&D winner who needs easy ground, he weakened late on in the Cork race and while he should reappear in better form, is now a six-year-old who needs his best form to win. A mile will stretch Big Gossey.

GOLDANA produced a solid comeback run when third in a Group 3 at the Curragh 23 days ago, losing little caste in defeat conceding plenty of weight to a pair of 3-y-os, and she looks to hold sound claims of coming out on top on these terms with her yard having bagged this prize 12 months ago. Lord Massusus and Power Under Me can give her most to think about.

Last season's Gladness Stakes winner GOLDANA may improve enough from last month's Curragh run to land this prize

15:45 Leopardstown Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MERISI DIAMOND might defy a 14lb hike for winning well at the Curragh. His five siblings have all won, including two at Group/Grade 2 level (one being a Britannia winner), and after progressing well last autumn, confirmed that promise when winning easily last month. He goes back up in trip in a first-time hood and should better his current rating. Heavy-ground specialist Racing Royalty won Listowel Festival and Curragh handicaps at this distance last year and while beaten on his last run, is better over today's trip. Clear Quartz lost his chance with a slow start at the Curragh last month and is ideally suited by conditions, while Desert Haven has fallen to a career-low mark and has heavy-ground form. Five-time French winner Orandi ran OK on reappearance following a layoff, while dual soft-ground winner Mile End debuts for new connections having been bought for 4,000gns last November. Mogwli is in form but isn't ahead of the handicapper.

MERISI DIAMOND hit the ground running in some style for Martin Brassil with an emphatic Curragh success and can make light of a 14 hike in the weights to complete a hat-trick. Brains appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Mogwli and Racing Royalty.

It's quite likely quite likely the lightly-raced 5yo MERISI DIAMOND (nap) remains ahead of the handicapper and he gets a confident vote

16:15 Leopardstown Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The reappearing SNEDDY EDDIE likes testing ground and has winning form over similar distances. He was well beaten from 1lb higher on his latest run last October, but will handle conditions better than most. Six-time winner Conversant also has heavy-ground form, but is a nine-year-old now and has yet to win at this distance. Daonethatgotaway was gambled on when finishing second at Dundalk last month and again ran well on the all-weather recently. He is tried in first-time blinkers and while he should win from his rating, running on heavy ground for the first time is a concern. Sunday Evening finished ahead of the selection on heavy at Gowran last October. She was reported to have lost her action at the Curragh subsequently and a first-time tongue-tie is, worryingly, fitted on reappearance. Lisieux debuts for new connections and while suited by heavy, has won just once from 25 runs. Manhattan Dandy is useful on heavy ground.

DAONETHATGOTAWAY has run two good races since returning to action and appeals as the most solid option. Manhattan Dandy and Lisieux are a couple of potential threats.

A hopeful vote goes to SNEDDY EDDIE, a winner over just a bit further than this on heavy ground at Bellewstown last September

16:50 Leopardstown Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

All of ANGEL ON FIRE's best form is on heavy ground, he is race-fit and ran well recently. He has won just once from 16 runs and finished just a short head ahead of maiden Atbay at Naas, but he is slightly better over this distance. Pascalia won on the all-weather in February and is capable of a little more improvement in a first-time tongue-tie and running on heavy ground for the first time. Three-time winner St Cianans Fire is in form, but has yet to run on ground this testing. So Messi was beaten long distances over hurdles recently, but is at least race-fit and had form at this level last year, albeit on better ground. Sapristi debuts for new connections, with heavy ground a concern, while conditions might also inconvenience Velvet And Vine, who drops in distance.

ANGEL ON FIRE stepped up on his reappearance run and very much shaped like this step back up in trip would be very much in his favour when fourth at Naas 17 days ago. Interesting from this sort of mark, he shades the vote to come out on top. Atbay, who was one place behind the selection latest, is a threat with blinkers enlisted for the first time. St Cianans Fire and the returning So Messi are others to consider.

Few appeal and a chance is taken on the still relatively unexposed RANKO EXPRESS, a winner on soft

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.
