LTO Selection:

16:37 Leopardstown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With seven debutants in the line-up, all coming from respected sources, the market should be informative. The shrewd Barry Fitzgerald introduces Hannah Buckle, who is closely related to a whole host of winners, while Ger Lyons is double-handed with Sakti and National Lady, the latter a 130,000-euro yearling purchase. For a selection, the Paddy Twomey-trained TEN DEEP gets the nod. Fifth on debut at the Curragh behind the impressive Ylang Ylang, she finished ahead of subsequent winners Caught U Looking and Opera Singer. The Ten Sovereigns bay can be expected to come on plenty for that experience and is fitted with a tongue strap now. A half-sister to four-time Group 1 winner Alcohol Free, the twice-raced Brilliant should be able to make her presence felt with Ryan Moore aboard, while it will be interesting to see how Sli Na Ghealai fares off a light weight, with Kyanna Van Buuren claiming 10lb.

BRILLIANT shaped well when third here last time and with further progress on the cards she looks the way to go in an intriguing juvenile maiden. Curragh-fifth Ten Deep appeals as the one to give Aidan O'Brien's Gleneagles filly most to do ahead of Neo Smart and newcomers Limoncello Lady and Sakti.

The preferred one is TEN DEEP who shaped with lots of promise on debut at the Curragh and could improve considerably

LTO Selection:

17:12 Leopardstown Group 3 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The O'Brien clan have dominated this race in recent seasons and that trend looks set to continue. Bought for 1.5 million guineas as a yearling, YLANG YLANG impressed when making all on debut at the Curragh, with subsequent winners Caught U Looking and Opera Singer in behind. An early favourite for next year's 1000 Guineas, the daughter of Frankel should prove hard to beat. Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien saddle Nemonte and Mysteries respectively, with the former also successful on debut at the Curragh. She since finished a respectable seventh in the Chesham at Royal Ascot and should be able to make an impact here. A close third on debut, Mysteries was a good winner on her second start at Cork and it will come as no real surprise if she manages to follow up. Bellewstown winner Lady Craftsman looks the best of the remainder.

YLANG YLANG looked a talented filly when making a winning start at the Curragh 27 days ago and she's fancied to make a seamless transition into Group company. Mysteries and Nemonte are the likeliest duo to capitalise if the selection fluffs her lines.

Impressive at the Curragh YLANG YLANG can follow up here on the well-established path for Ballydoyle's top juvenile fillies

Plenty to find with Chicago Fireball on Tipperary debut and this looks very ambitious.
LTO Selection:

17:47 Leopardstown Group 3 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The O'Brien clan again dominate here, but they might have to settle for minor honours behind the Johnny Murtagh-trained CHICAGO FIREBALL. One of two maidens in the line-up, the Acclamation colt had a far from clear passage on debut, finishing fourth behind Islandsinthestream. He since went down by just a neck and a head behind two smart prospects at Tipperary and a reproduction of that performance should see him go close. The aforementioned Islandsinthestream impressed when coming from last to first on debut and it would be no surprise if he managed to follow up. Henry Adams and Mountain Bear are the Ballydoyle representatives and both warrant respect, with Ryan Moore aboard the latter. Successful at the Curragh on his second start, he since failed to make an impact in a Group 2 at Newmarket. Devious has been highly tried since winning on debut at Naas and he should appreciate this drop in class.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained pair are hard to split but Ryan Moore appears to prefer MOUNTAIN BEAR, so he gets the vote ahead of Henry Adams, who was a comfortable winner of a Naas maiden on debut. Islandsinthestream is another to consider.

Preference is for Joseph O'Brien's ISLANDSINTHESTREAM, who looked a smart prospect when winning over this trip at the Curragh

Good reason to believe he can win a race but no apparent chance at this level.
LTO Selection:

18:22 Leopardstown Group 2 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Transferred from the cancelled Curragh card on Sunday, Zarinsk is a significant inclusion and with a rating of 108, the Ger Lyons-trained filly is the highest rated runner in the line-up. A proven soft-ground performer and already twice successful at Leopardstown, she has plenty going for her. Lyons saddles another leading contender in the shape of Power Under Me. Also a dual course victor, he is rated just 2lb below his stable companion. For a selection, though, HONEY GIRL gets the nod. One of three Joseph O'Brien-trained representatives in the field, she is sure to relish the soft ground. Fourth in the 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh, Tarawa will have plenty of supporters, while the likeable Lord Massusus is another leading hope.

A case can be made for lots of these but POWER UNDER ME goes well fresh and just holds the edge on form so is taken to follow up his Amethyst success here in May. Zarinsk is feared most on the back of her Brownstown win at Fairyhouse, with Honey Girl and Tarawa both in the picture too.

The likeliest scorer is ZARINSK (nap) who was convincing in the Brownstown Stakes two weeks ago and for whom soft ground holds no fears

LTO Selection:

18:52 Leopardstown Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A good showing from Henry Adams in the Tyros Stakes would increase confidence behind SHIHOKU. Half a length separated the pair at Naas earlier this month and while the Michael O'Callaghan-trained selection ultimately had to settle for second, he did finish out his race well. Well fancied at the Tipper Road venue, the French-bred bay is upped in trip, which should help his cause. Aidan O'Brien, who trains Henry Adams, is represented by debutants Chief Little Rock and The Equator. Ryan Moore will be aboard the latter, who is out of dual Group 1 winner Quiet Reflection. An 85,000-euro yearling purchase, Juxtaposition is of definite interest on debut for Paddy Twomey, while the Joseph O'Brien-trained Alonzo is another newcomer who warrants respect. Instant Appeal and Gandolfo make some appeal too, with the latter catching the eye when a fast-finishing third at Killarney last week.

Lots of depth to this maiden with SHIHOKU just about the most persuasive option given he seems sure to build on the promise of his Naas run 3 weeks ago. Instant Appeal is expected to give it another good go, with The Equator just about the pick of a good-looking bunch of newcomers on paper.

Preference is for for SHIHOKU, narrowly beaten on his Naas debut at odds-on but with scope for improvement and the mile in his favour

Well held in Ulster Oaks; headgear now left off and ground in her favour.

19:22 Leopardstown Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Another competitive affair, with SAVE YOUR LOVE the suggestion. Out of dual Listed victor My Renee, she is a half-sister to prolific winner Banimpire, who went down by just a short head in the 2011 Irish Oaks. Successful at Gowran in May, the selection had no luck in running at the Curragh on Derby weekend, finishing fourth in the race won by The Franchise. The tongue strap which was fitted for the first time at the Curragh remains in place now, and it will be disappointing if she is not involved towards the business end. Carracci was beaten just a length in the Nasrullah over C&D, and it will come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better. Fort Vega disappointed at Royal Ascot but is capable of making his presence felt, while it will be interesting to see how Tough Talk fares, stepping up in trip. Encosta is sure to have plenty of supporters with Colin Keane aboard, while Pandora Lovegood, who won twice last season, can't be ruled out on her return.

Not all of these are certain to stay this far, but CARRACCI Has no fears in that department and he seems sure to give a very bold showing on the back of an excellent runner-up effort over C&D. Save Your Love and Fort Vega were both better than the result last time and are feared most.

Preference is for SAVE YOUR LOVE, who got into all sorts of trouble before flying home at the Curragh over this trip

(1) Waltham 1/1, Bred to be useful and justified position at the head of the market when making winning debut in 12-runner C&D maiden 5 weeks ago, produced to lead entering final 1f and keeping on well. One to follow on that evidence.
Impressive C&D maiden winner last month looks a stakes performer in the making; big shout.

LTO Selection:

19:52 Leopardstown Stakes 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An interesting contest, with Waltham the standout name after his impressive win over C&D last month. He is highly regarded by connections, but it's hardly ideal that he has to give weight away to all of his rivals. Dutch Gold impressed on his penultimate start and can be forgiven his most recent effort at Navan after his reins snapped early on. Rapparee Champ snatched victory from the jaws of defeat at Fairyhouse and is open to further progress in first-time cheekpieces. It might still be worth siding with CAPE BRIDGEWATER, who clearly appreciated the step up in trip when making virtually all at Tipperary in May and it will come as no surprise if he manages to follow up. Esquiline appears the best of the remainder but it looks a tough ask for her as the only filly in the field.

Despite still looking a work-in-progress, RAPPAREE CHAMP marked himself down as one to follow when reeling in one boasting much greater experience in a Fairyhouse maiden (12f) 6 weeks ago and he can follow up in receipt of weight all round. Waltham, an impressive winner himself on debut, and Picture of A City are others fancied to be thereabouts.

Having looked a classy sort when making an impressive C&D debut last month WALTHAM can confirm that promise here

Chance on some of last season's best Flat form for Kieran Cotter but probably best watched.

Looks fairly handicapped on what he has done to date and not without a chance.
LTO Selection:

20:22 Leopardstown Handicap 15f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A never-nearer third behind Sea Oscar over C&D last month, ORANMORE since made the breakthrough at Bellewstown and the Luke Comer-trained seven-year-old might be able to follow up. He went up 10lb for that success, but still looks relatively well treated on a mark of 66. A beaten favourite on two of his last three starts, Barometer is given second preference. Third behind the progressive Londonofficecallin at Killarney last week, it will come as no surprise if he manages to go two places better. A three-time winner, Red Vermillion was seventh in that Killarney contest and is capable of making her presence felt. The Henry de Bromhead-trained Moon Over Claddagh is of definite interest on his handicap debut, with Abraham, Mephisto, Elzaamsan and Folly Beach other leading hopes.

FOLLY BEACH remains a maiden but she very much caught the eye without being seen to best effect at Killarney 8 days ago and, with the step back up in trip rating a likely plus, she could be worth chancing with her rider taking off a handy 7 lb. Bellewstown winner Oranmore, Barometer and handicap debutant Moon Over Claddagh are a trio of others to consider.

Despite a 10lb penalty for winning at Bellewstown, ORANMORE might be hard to keep out of the winner's enclosure again

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.
