LTO Selection:

16:35 Leopardstown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Narrowly beaten on debut over the course and distance in June, CONTENT can make the breakthrough now. Out of dual Group 1 winner Mecca's Angel, the selection finished down the field when sent off at just 5/1 for the Chesham at Royal Ascot. She has further big race entries to her name and it'll be disappointing if she fails to make the most of this opportunity. Aidan O'Brien is responsible for the selection and he also saddles Mayfair, who is given second preference. An encouraging fourth on debut at Galway, it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a few places better now. The market should be informative in relation to the six newcomers set to take part. Out of Group 2 winner Eziyra, the Dermot Weld-trained Ezeliya looks the most interesting of them.

MAYFAIR didn't achieve as much in form terms as stablemate Content but she was very green that day and is fancied to improve a lot. Ezeliya and Comic book could be the pick of a good-looking bunch of newcomers.

This looks a hot contest but CONTENT, too free at Royal Ascot, is the stable-selected and looked a promising type on debut over C&D

LTO Selection:

17:10 Leopardstown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This looks a good opportunity for MAKING TIME, who is the most experience runner in the line-up and was tried in Group 3 company on her penultimate start. She since caught the eye when finishing well to take minor honours at Dundalk and the step up in trip here to seven-furlongs may prove ideal. Alpha Cephei has two solid efforts to his name and is given second preference. Sixth in a stronger affair on his most recent outing, it'll come as a surprise if he not involved towards the business end here. Romford ran well on debut, but since disappointed at Galway and a reproduction of his initial effort should see him go close. With five newcomers in the line-up, the market should be informative. Ciao For Now and Ocean Odyessey are the most interesting of those starting off, with Colin Keane a positive jockey booking on the latter, who was third in a barrier trial at Naas in May.

MAKING TIME is the clear pick on form so is the obvious choice. Gesture is a newcomer to note given his Group 2 entry, with Ocean Odyssey and Ciao For Now other likely types.

Dundalk third Making Time is the pick of those that have run but maybe OCEAN ODYSSEY can score on debut for his in-form yard

14
14/1(-56%)
(6) Dance Night Andday 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy) 24 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Booking of Keane a plus but she needs to improve in order to figure prominently here.
Well held at Galway; booking of Keane may be an indication of what might be expected today.

Alabama Pearl

(4) Alabama Pearl 6/1, 7/2, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Now tried in a visor and needs to raise her game a touch.
Visor tried here and coming back to this trip might be a positive; one for the shortlist.

(3) Not Just Yet 12/1, Winner at Listowel in June. Eleventh of 15 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 9/1) 24 days ago. Needs to bounce back but will be a threat if able to do so.

5.5
5.5/1(+8%)
(1) On Our Radar 5.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. 18/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Dundalk (7f) 43 days ago, shaken up to assert. More needed up 9 lb here in what looks a stronger race.
Improved when stepped up to this trip at Dundalk last month, scoring with plenty in hand.
11
7th (11) Goldmoyne (8/1 -78%)
Goldmoyne

8
8/1(-78%)
(11) Goldmoyne 8/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 23-runner handicap at the Curragh (7f, good, 40/1) 11 days ago, keeping on well. This 9 lb higher mark could prove to be a stumbling block.
9lb rise for Curragh seems plenty and suspicion is that a straight seven suits him well.

Soundly beaten on last two starts and quite hard to fancy on that evidence.

Law Lady

11

(14) Law Lady 11/1, 25/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 70 days ago, met some trouble. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
Ran better than her finishing position here last time on handicap debut; not discounted.
LTO Selection:

17:45 Leopardstown Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A wide open contest, with FERRARI DESERT the suggestion. A fine third on debut at Navan in May, she had four subsequent winners in behind. While disappointing on her next start at Listowel, she since put in a much-improved performance to finish a solid fifth on her handicap debut at Dundalk. On Our Radar won that Dundalk contest and he reopposes now, but with a 10lb swing in the weights, the selection might be able to reverse the form. Off a mark of 47, Goldmoyne led home 22 rivals to win at the Curragh recently and while 11lb higher now, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to follow-up. Saturn Seven deservedly made the breakthrough at Limerick in June and is sure to have plenty of supporters. While the market should be informative, others of interest are Alabama Pearl (first time visor), Who Not What and handicap debutant Irish Rumour.

The vote goes to SATURN SEVEN, who showed plenty in maidens and duly improved when making a winning handicap debut at Limerick in June. She displayed a good turn of foot that day and looks capable of overcoming this 4 lb higher mark. If Not Just Yet is able to get back on track he could easily take a hand in the finish, while Alfarida and Alabama Pearl both make each-way appeal. Goldmoyne and On Our Radar were winners last time but have gone up 9 lb apiece, which will makes things tougher.

A sporting selection goes to LAW LADY who ran better than her finishing position here last time and the trainer does well here

LTO Selection:

18:20 Leopardstown Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HALF NUTZ is the suggestion in this competitive affair. A six-time winner, the chestnut gelding has been running well of late. Slow into stride, as is a regular occurrence, over the course and distance last Thursday, he finished strongly but ultimately couldn't peg back Barbapapa, going down by just half-a-length. Like the selection, Ferrybank has also been knocking on the door in recent starts. He was collared in the final strides on his latest visit to Leopardstown and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now, with Sorcha Woods claiming a valuable 7lb. As a dual course and distance winner, Amanirenas warrants respect, despite the fact she disappointed when sent off favourite last week. In truth, very few can be safely ruled out in this wide-open contest, with Hightimeyouwon, Eastern Wind, Chavajod and Lady Arwen other leading hopes.

HALF NUTZ was rather unfortunate not to win here last week and can make amends off the same mark. Furnace Creek went close at the Curragh recently so is feared, while Ferrybank should be in the mix again.

It might be worth giving another chance to the frustrating HALF NUTZ, unlucky here last week and with a good draw for a hold-up horse

Looks more of a dour stayer than many of his rivals here; others preferred.

(8) Endless Sunshine 66/1, 14/1, won 9-runner maiden at Navan (10f, good to soft) on debut 74 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Yard in good form. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and she will progress, but this looks a tough ask.
Given an opening mark of 84 after a debut win at Navan; tough task but open to improvement.
LTO Selection:

18:55 Leopardstown Listed 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WALTHAM has been ultra impressive in two starts to date and the exciting Roaring Lion colt is taken to extend his unbeaten record. Both his wins have come at this venue and he goes out in trip now by another two furlongs. The likely quick ground is a slight cause for concern, with his trainer Ger Lyons commenting after his most recent win: "I'd say he needs an ease in the ground to be at his best and to be safe." Of those with a mark, there is just 3lb between six of them. The O'Brien clan are responsible for half the field, with Aidan's Alexandroupolis given second preference. Third when odds-on in the Ballysax Stakes in April, he steps up in trip now and it'll be interesting to see how he fares. An easy winner at Navan in July, Harbour Wind is two from three and is another leading hope.

WALTHAM has created a fine impression at this venue, winning both starts by 9 lengths in total and he can take the step up in grade in his stride. Alexandroupolis is also open to plenty of progress on his third start, while Amusement is more exposed but is a key player on form.

The unbeaten WALTHAM(nap) in two runs here has looked an exciting young stayer and he can make the step up

LTO Selection:

19:25 Leopardstown Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

While without a win in 11 starts, ALEXANDER JOHN might finally make the breakthrough here. The highest-rated of those with a mark, the Luke Comer-trained colt has been highly tried and was a respectable eighth in the 2000 Guineas at the Curragh in May, before again running with credit in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot. Fourth at Galway on his most recent start, he may appreciate a return to quick ground now. Dermot Weld has his horses in fine form and the master of Rosewell House is represented by Walsingham. A brother to dual-Group 3 winner Duke De Sessa, the bay colt has some solid form to his name and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Second on his three starts to date, Pivotal Revive is tried in cheekpieces for the first time and it'll come as no surprise if he manages to prevail. Cheekpieces are also tried on Highland Rahy and with a mark of 80, he is another leading hope.

PIVOTAL REVIVE has found just the one too strong on all 3 of his starts but his form is progressive and the fitting of headgear can see him go one better. Alexander John and Walsingham are others to consider.

LTO Selection:

19:55 Leopardstown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ADELAISE should appreciate this drop in class and she looks the one to beat with Wayne Hassett claiming 7lb. The Lawman four-year-old has been competing in valuable handicaps of late and has acquitted herself well. She went down by just over a length on her penultimate outing at Royal Ascot and that piece of form looks very strong in the context of this race. One of two three-year-old's in the line-up, Galway winner Fratas is given second preference. With Jamie Powell's claim, she will carry over a stone less than the selection. A dual course and distance winner, Helpmeout is another leading hope. A generally consistent performer, the Mastercraftsman chestnut should give a good account of herself. A close-up fourth over the course and distance last month, Touching Clouds is sure to have plenty of supporters, while top-weight Celtic Crown and Gowran winner Letiza are others that warrant respect.

This looks pretty open but the return to 1m will suit ADELAISE and with a good-value 7 lb claimer on, she looks the one to be with. Helpmeout and Fratas are a couple of potential threats.

Plenty of these have chances but ADELAISE is on a mark she can win off and maybe Wayne Hassett's claim can help get her over the line

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.
