Recent Down Royal run a small step in the right direction; handicapper giving him a chance.
LTO Selection:

13:35 Leopardstown Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

COOLREE ran into a couple of in-form rivals when third at Listowel last month and may be able to strike again here. The Mondialiste gelding bumped into Drop The Dip and Wrist Art last time and both have gone on to frank the form. Coolree is only a couple of pounds higher here. Mogwli has been running consistently and handles testing conditions. He should be thereabouts again. Arch Enemy is another who has been knocking on the door and has to come into calculations.

COOLREE was surrounded by subsequent winners at Listowel last month so can quickly resume winning ways. Nituna continues to shape well and is next best ahead of Arch Enemy.

Quite a competitive handicap in which COOLREE gets the vote, now dropped in trip after a good Listowel run in similar conditions

Recent Naas maiden winner capable of better still but faces big jump in class here.
LTO Selection:

14:10 Leopardstown Listed 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The ground would be a concern for CAIRO, who returns from an absence, but his class may see him through. The Quality Road colt was last seen chasing home star stablemate Paddington in the Irish 2,000 Guineas in late May. He won the Killavullan Stakes last year with a good cut in the ground which would give some hope he could get through testing conditions. Honey Girl is a consistent sort and gets through ground. She could be a danger. Power Under Me was slightly disappointing last time at Cork but is a dual course and distance winner, including when claiming this race 12 months ago in soft ground, and has to be respected.

CAIRO hasn't been seen since an excellent second in the Irish 2000 Guineas but has been found a good opportunity back down in class. Honey Girl is feared most ahead of Snapraeterea.

Irish 2,000 Guineas second CAIRO could be hard to beat if handling the ground

Listowel win came on soft but handicapper may just have his measure now.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Leopardstown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CATENA ZAPATA ran well on his return from an absence at Cork last month when staying on to chase home Helpmeout in Cork. The Vadamos gelding has gained his two wins at Dundalk but ran well in testing conditions last time and with in-form apprentice Wayne Hassett taking 7lb off now he looks nicely treated. Saltonstall is a couple of pounds lower than when winning this last year and has to be respected having run a couple of nice races recently. Aidan O'Brien runs two and the unexposed Subzero is an interesting one with Jack Cleary taking 7lb off.

SALTONSTALL is back on a winning mark and can land this race for the second year in succession for the Ado McGuinness team. There should be more to come from unexposed Aidan O'Brien 3-y-o Subzero who is second choice ahead of last month's Cork runner-up Catena Zapata.

Value may be had here in the bottom-weighted SAN AER, an eyecatching third at Naas last weekend on this sort of ground

C&D Derby Trial winner in similar conditions; down from Group 1 company and major player.
LTO Selection:

15:20 Leopardstown Listed 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SPREWELL takes a drop in grade here and can get back to winning ways on softer ground. The Churchill colt has been highly tried this season with two Derby runs, finishing fourth at Epsom, and he was last seen in the Irish Champion Stakes. His best performances came on softer ground at the start of the season, particularly when winning the Derby Trial at Leopardstown, and he hasn't looked totally at home on faster surfaces, especially in the Irish Derby. This could be a nice confidence booster now. Layfayette is top-rated in the field and is an obvious danger. He was a fine third in Group 3 company at Leopardstown last time having won at the same level previously. Boogie Woogie has been knocking on the door in stakes company since winning her maiden and could be placed material here.

After landing the Royal Whip at the Curragh in August, LAYFAYETTE ran at least as well when third in the Paddy Power Stakes at this course last time. The drop in trip shouldn't pose a problem and he has the best form, so he takes preference over Boogie Woogie, with Sprewell also considered.

Fresh from attaining a career-high mark when third in last month's Kilternan Stakes here LAYFAYETTE (nap) can gain a tenth success

LTO Selection:

15:55 Leopardstown Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOSTRINGSATTACHED looks like a mare that can continue to improve after opening her account at the Curragh last month. The big daughter of Markaz went up 7lb for her maiden success but that looked justified and she is still fairly unexposed. Dumb Love handled testing conditions well when winning her maiden at Bellewstown and having remained on the same mark of 73 she could run well now tried in handicap company. Tea Olive has been knocking on the door and having eased another pound for her most recent run at Bellewstown she could be place material now.

The low-mileage TIME TO BOOGIE made a sound start to her handicap career when third at Dundalk recently and can strike for Aidan O'Brien and Seamie Heffernan. Dumb Love is another lightly-raced 3-y-o from a good stable and is second choice ahead of Turbulence and last month's Punchestown scorer Final Check.

It might pay to take a chance on handicap debutante TEOREMA who returns to what is probably her optimum trip.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Leopardstown Maiden 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BALLSBRIDGE may have bumped into a decent sort in Frazil at Naas eight days ago and can open his account now at the third time of asking. The Lord Kanaloa colt looked set to collect last time but was run down inside the final furlong. A similar run may be enough to get the job done now. Quare Hawk was a length-and-a-quarter behind the selection on his debut then and with natural improvement he could be the danger now. Finsceal Go Deo is a frustrating sort but has the ability to be a big player and it would be no surprise if she reached the frame again.

BALLSBRIDGE stepped up on his debut when runner-up at Naas 8 days ago and there's potential for more up in trip, so he's the obvious selection. Quare Hawk is a danger on the back of a promising start and Taymura makes plenty of appeal on pedigree.

Ballsbridge has clear claims on last week's Naas run but that form brings QUARE HAWK firmly into the equation.

Trotted home at Navan (1m2f); further to go this time and off a 15lb higher mark.
LTO Selection:

17:05 Leopardstown Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

One-time Derby hope ALEXANDROUPOLIS is a fascinating runner here and should appreciate the softer conditions. He didn't make much impression in the St Leger last month but this is obviously a lesser grade now and he has the ability to be a big player despite carrying plenty of weight for a three-year-old. Star Harbour comes here in fine form and having been a close second at Dundalk last time he should be competitive again off 2lb higher. Smooth Tom won over hurdles at Listowel last month and is a couple of pounds lower than when last running on the Flat. He could reach the frame.

Plenty are in with a shout. CHALLY CHUTE didn't enjoy the rub of the green when tenth at the Curragh last time and can take advantage of a 3 lb drop in the weights to bag a second success of 2023. Solar Breeze is unexposed over this trip and feared most on the back of her impressive Navan success, with Imaginarium, Star Harbour, Moracana and Smooth Tom all in the mix too in a highly competitive event.

A deep handicap that will take some winning. CHALLY CHUTE didn't run at all badly in the Irish Cesarewitch and can do better 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.
