Bellezza

2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(2) Bellezza 2.5/1, Foaled April 6. Siyouni filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 6f-1m winner Tranchee and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Tough Talk. Of obvious interest on debut.
Home-bred with a Moyglare entry; of obvious interest with the stable juveniles doing well.

33/1(-18%)
(6) Glor Tire 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 20/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at this course (7.1f, good) 35 days ago. Needs to take another marked step forward.
Faded from the front over 7f last time but seems to be going the right way; not discounted.

Brilliant

4
4/1(+20%)
(3) Brilliant 4/1, Once-raced filly. 4/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Cork (6f, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Likely to improve and isn't a forlorn hope for all that she has plenty to find.
Could well be capable of above average improvement from Cork and play a hand here.

Navassa Island

0.8
0.8/1(-10%)
(8) Navassa Island 0.8/1, Twice-raced filly. 6½ lengths tenth of 17 to Porta Fortuna in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm, 5/1) 20 days ago. Shaped with plenty of encouragement on debut prior to that and sets a clear standard.
Naas run sets a clear standard and should be hard to beat; step up in trip should suit.

With Style

14
14/1(+13%)
(11) With Style 14/1, Foaled May 4. €150,000 yearling, No Nay Never filly. Sister to smart 7f-1m winner Horoscope and half-sister to 2 winners, including Belgian/French 7f-9.5f winner Ave Eria. Dam maiden. One to note.
Moyglare entry cost E150,000 as a yearling and looks one for the shortlist.

80/1(+20%)
(5) Glimmerglass 80/1, Foaled February 23. Magna Grecia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 9f-12.5f winner Tres Belle and 1m/9f winner Ghzayel. Dam maiden (stayed 9.5f).
Nice mixture of speed and stamina in her pedigree and should be worth watching.

(1) Andalusian Star 14/1, Foaled April 13. 80,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Lord Uhtred. Interesting newcomer for top yard.
Quite a speedily bred newcomer; no Group entries and might be best watched this time.

150/1(-20%)
(7) Maple Star 150/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Cork (6f, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago. Up in trip. Firmly up against it.

(10) Time'll Tell 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 50/1, last of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 48 days ago, hampered. Up in trip. Hard to make any sort of case for.
Has beaten one rival in two starts and looks the first one to put a line through here.
LTO Selection:

17:15 Leopardstown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NAVASSA ISLAND will appreciate this much easier assignment having run in the Albany Stakes last month. The Michael O'Callaghan-trained filly was sent off at just 5/1 for that Group 3 contest, on the back of a hugely promising debut at Naas. In all probability, the daughter of Territories didn't show her true ability at the Royal meeting, especially given that her narrow Naas conqueror won that particular contest. The O'Callaghan representative can win here before stepping back up in class. Glamora caught the eye staying on late on debut over course and distance in May but failed to build on that run last time. A tendency to break slowly hasn't helped the daughter of Zoffany. With Style, a full-sister to a Listed winner, is the most interesting of the newcomers.

NAVASSA ISLAND made a highly promising debut when second to Porta Fortuna at Naas and, while she failed to back that up behind her old rival in the Albany at Royal Ascot, she's likely to open her account back in calmer waters. Bellezza and With Style are both appealing newcomers.

Despite her Albany failure last time, the form of her unlucky Group 3 defeat at Naas makes NAVASSA ISLAND hard to overlook in a maiden

(7) Saturn Seven 6.5/1, 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Limerick (7f, good) 19 days ago, all out. Up 5 lb but she's likely to give it a good go.
Up 5lb for Limerick win but appears to be going the right way and should be thereabouts.

Below his best when odds-on for a Fairyhouse maiden last month; gelded since; interesting.

(8) Rumbled Again 11/1, Winner at Gowran in May. Fifth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Listowel (7f, good) 39 days ago. That effort suggests the assessor has him.

1.75/1(+36%)
(1) Tough Talk 1.75/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 47 days ago. Stamina for 7f isn't set in stone but he remains a major player from this reduced mark.
Gelded since his last run and too early to write off but others preferred here.

Steps up to 7f for the first time and could be capable of a bold showing if she gets home.
LTO Selection:

17:45 Leopardstown Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SATURN SEVEN may be able to follow up her Limerick win on handicap debut last month. The Ken Condon-trained filly travelled easily before quickening nicely over a furlong out. Although ultimately just lasting home by half a length, she idled in front and was value for more than the winning margin. A 5lb rise gives the daughter of Sioux Nation every chance of adding to that success. Encosta had a valid excuse for a disappointing reappearance at Naas but showed a great deal more when runner-up at this track last time. The Noel Meade-trained filly had some smart form as a juvenile last season and remains largely unexposed. Artemis Jones, who won her maiden nicely at Limerick in June, has to be considered despite a lack of handicap experience.

ARTEMIS JONES needs to improve to defy her current mark but that is very likely given her profile, so she's preferred to Tough Talk and Encosta.

The one to beat could be the progressive ARTEMIS JONES in her first handicap after a decisive maiden win at Limerick

LTO Selection:

18:15 Leopardstown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HELPMEOUT, a dual C&D winner last season, can register her first success of the current campaign. Willie McCreery's four-year-old only weakened close home in a similar race last time and should strip fitter with the benefit of that run. Mulgrave has yet to win on turf, but has five victories to his name on the Polytrack at Dundalk. The John McConnell-trained gelding is a hard puller who needs to get cover but Donagh O'Connor does very well on the son of Mehmas. The quicker they go here, the better his chance of recording a first turf win. Thefullbackline didn't enjoy the clearest of passages at the Curragh recently so is one to consider now that he is fitted with first-time cheekpieces.

EASTERN LEGEND has improved switched to handicaps this season and gets the vote taking on older horses for the first time. Helpmeout continues to shape well and is feared most ahead of Coins Cross.

A sporting selection goes to THEFULLBACKLINE who ran much better than his finishing position last time and has the aid of cheekpieces

LTO Selection:

18:50 Leopardstown Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ROCKBURY LAD can get off the mark at the 14th time of asking. Michael O'Callaghan's four-year-old had no luck with the draw on a number of occasions last season and suffered a similar fate on his most recent run at this track. Forced to race wide off the home turn, the Showcasing gelding ran on strongly to be nearest at the finish. Stepping back up to a mile is a definite plus, as is the low draw in stall seven. Rampage, who has gone close on his last two visits here, is a consistent sort but won't find it easy from his wide berth. If James Ryan is able to negotiate a clear passage in the straight, the McCourt runner should be involved. The lightly-raced Boomerang Bill, who shaped well on his recent stable debut, has more scope for improvement than most.

This is wide open and while disappointing on her only start on turf, FEATURE THIS gets the verdict to pick up from where she left off at Dundalk 3 months ago and notch career victory number 3 from the same mark. Rampage is threatening to come good soon, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while Shona Mea, last year's winner Smaoineamh Sile and Bright Moment are just a handful of others to consider.

Several with a good record over C&D including RAMPAGE who has been doing little wrong and may get his turn

(1) Saltonstall 28/1, Course winner. 40/1, twelfth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, merely closing up late. Others make more appeal.

LTO Selection:

19:25 Leopardstown Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LORD VADER is an intriguing contender from the foot of the weights here. The Emmet Mullins-trained four-year-old stayed on nicely from the rear when fourth over a mile at Limerick on his second start for current connections. He then caught the eye when nearest at the finish under a relatively inexperienced amateur rider at the Curragh on Derby weekend. Leigh Roche takes over in the saddle now, with the horse running over what may well be his optimum trip. Coeur d'Or was a very impressive winner on his last start at this venue, suggesting that he may well be up to Pattern class. A subsequent 10lb hike isn't as much of a concern as his wide draw. Londoner disappointed at Royal Ascot but had some very smart form prior to that. Killian Hennessy is proving great value for his 5lb claim.

LAN CINNTE is progressive and shaped better than the result when second at the Curragh last time, so she's worth chancing with the longer trip expected to suit. Last-time-out winners Redstone Well and Alanya look major dangers.

The selection is ALANYA(nap), up 8lb for bolting up in the Ladies Derby on her Irish debut and chances are that there is more to come

LTO Selection:

20:00 Leopardstown Group 3 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LIBRARY, who seems to have improved since being fitted with blinkers, may be able to add to her recent Naas Listed win. The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly showed real heart and determination once challenged in the straight and wasn't for passing. On breeding, she should appreciate this step up in trip, while she looks just the type to prevail should the race turn into a battle. Stablemate Red Riding Hood will find this easier having raced in better company of late. She remains unexposed after just the six career starts so has to be a live contender. Understated struggled at Royal Ascot last month but is very lightly raced. The Ralph Beckett-trained daughter of Nathaniel still has time to deliver on the promise she showed at Goodwood.

DIVINE JEWEL ran a cracker when third behind a couple of smart sorts at York on her return and gets the vote back against her own sex. Powerful Aggie and Amusement head the dangers.

Game in victory over 1m2f at Naas, LIBRARY has to answer a stamina query but is taken to account for proven stayer Divine Jewel

LTO Selection:

20:30 Leopardstown Stakes 15f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Despite being rated lower than a couple of these over hurdles, TAX FOR MAX is very much the horse to beat on official Flat ratings. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding boasts a triple-digit mark, something few of these rivals could ever aspire to. A winner over fences at Wexford last month, the six-year-old arrives here in rude health. Jesse Evans is a very smart hurdler but has yet to reach those same heights on the level. It may be that the Noel Meade-trained gelding just needs a set of hurdles in front of him. Gatsby Grey could be the most interesting contender, given that he is a decent National Hunt horse who is totally unexposed in this sphere. Trainer Oliver McKiernan does well in these races, so the seven-year-old deserves maximum respect.

TAX FOR MAX is better known as a useful jumper but he's a major player on these terms back on the level so he looks the one to beat. Jesse Evans is a big danger back over a more suitable trip, with Suprise Package interesting on Flat debut.

With the benefit of last week's return at Bellewstown under his belt and back over a more suitable trip, JESSE EVANS is the selection

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.
