Respected on her best form but dropping back hugely in trip here and looks vulnerable.

Dual hurdles winner; lack of a recent run not a concern and respected if at her best.

14:25 Listowel Conditions Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHECOULDBEANYTHING gets the vote in an event where there are question marks over a number of the runners. The Gordon Elliott-trained mare progressed nicely last year winning Listed races at both Punchestown and Killarney and was also placed in a valuable handicap over C&D. She gave encouragement when third last time at Killarney, with Effernock Fizz back in sixth, and is preferred to Anna Bunina who is well treated by the conditions and steps back considerably in trip. Media Naranja has a bit to find on the book while Karia Des Blaises has been let down by her jumping on occasions.

ANNA BUNINA produced a rare below-par effort at the Punchestown Festival but this looks an excellent opportunity for her to quickly bounce back on these terms. Shecouldbeanything is feared most.

The one to beat is clearly SHECOULDBEANYTHING on the strength of her overall form

15:00 Listowel Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SYRACUS DU HOUX has kept some good company over hurdles including when fifth behind Slade Steel in a Naas maiden last November and comes here after beating all bar the odds-on Fenway Park at Punchestown. Sionnach Eile was a smart handicapper on the Flat winning a valuable event at the Galway Festival in 2022 and achieved a career high rating of 104. He was switched to hurdles after a winter break at Killarney but could only manage a distant third behind the impressive Al Gasparo. Pahlavi was reappearing after a ten-month break when second to Le Coq Hardi at Down Royal and is another to consider along with Jet Setting Jim.

SYRACUS DU HOUX took a big step forward when runner-up in a similar event at Punchestown 11 days ago, briefly looking to have the favourite in trouble when clear of the rest, and this looks an excellent opportunity for him to open his account. Pahlavi is selected for the forecast over Jet Setting Jim, who shaped like a stayer on his hurdling bow but is down in trip here.

Decent Flat horse SIONNACH EILE should progress from his recent hurdles debut at Killarney and could take the beating

15:35 Listowel Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HOW ABOUT NO won a 1m4f maiden at Dundalk in February and made a pleasing start over hurdles when runner-up to St Faz in a 16-runner Killarney maiden with the pair pulling well clear of the remainder. Napper Tandy, a dual winner on the Flat and rated in the 80s for Andrew Balding, has gone close a couple of times since switched to hurdles by Matt Smith and was only pegged back in the closing stages in a Ballinrobe maiden on his penultimate start. He heads the list of dangers from Heroes Rise.

The vote goes to HEROES RISE, who improved on his hurdling debut form when behind a couple of promising sorts at Kilbeggan last month and promises to do better still. How About No and Kudasheva are feared most in that order.

The one to be on could be HOW ABOUT NO (nap), beaten by a decent horse at Killarney and sure to improve for that

16:10 Listowel Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JAKE PETER won a maiden hurdle at Thurles way back in 2018 but has been mainly campaigned since on the Flat where he's also gained five wins including at Killarney last summer. The selection has made the frame on both hurdle outings this year including behind the well backed Ballycashin over 2m3f at Clonmel last time with All Walks Of Life staying on about two lengths back in fourth and Our Bobby sixth. Point-to-point winner Sainte Baol looks capable of a handicap win judged on his latest fourth at Ballinrobe, while any market move for Marciano on his handicap debut would be significant. Second reserve Fromheretoeternity would be interesting if getting a run.

SAINTE BAOL showed a bit more than previously when fourth at Ballinrobe last month and, with further improvement anticipated now stepping back up in trip, she's an appealing candidate. Top Line Tommy has good claims back over hurdles on the pick of his form, with 10-y-o Jake Peter another to consider following a good third at Clonmel recently.

A tentative choice is HILL ROCKET after a good run on her second handicap start at Tipperary with the step up in trip a likely plus

16:50 Listowel Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A five-time winner on the Flat, SEQUOIASPIRIT can register a first success over hurdles. The Ray Hackett-trained seven-year-old has gone close on a couple of occasions over jumps, including when runner-up at Cork last time. The gelding showed that he handled this track when a staying-on fifth in a stronger race at the festival meeting last September. Twice a winner at the start of last season, Ceroc once again showed that this was his time of year when stepping up on his reappearance effort to finish second at Killarney last month. Edward O'Grady's gelding shouldn't be far away. Anyway, who continues to defy the handicapper, could have further races in him this term.

ANYWAY benefited from the step back up to this trip when hitting the target at Cork three weeks ago and he looks capable of defying an 8 lb rise in the weights. All For Rachel did the job well at Punchestown and he is next on the list ahead of Sequoiaspirit.

Anyway has obvious claims along with others but AHEAD OF THE POSSE could be interesting on this return to hurdling.

17:25 Listowel Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

RISING DUST can step up on his recent Punchestown second to win here for veteran trainer Michael Hourigan. A frequent visitor to the winner's enclosure at this track over the years, the Limerick man would like nothing better than to return to the number one spot. The gelded son of Leading Light appears to have strong claims of providing that much sought-after success. Sheephaven Flyer proved a costly failure for followers of the Emmet Mullins yard when unseating after being hampered at Downpatrick last month. The Milan gelding had appeared to show improved form when runner-up in a point-to-point on stable debut. Clonmel third Toucan Do is another who should be involved at the business end of the race.

RISING DUST posted his best effort yet when runner-up at Punchestown recently and he is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of Sheephaven Flyer, who is 0-9 under Rules but resumes in this sphere on an appealing mark. Morrie In D Quarry and potential improvers Dear Ryta and Safran Et Bleu are also shortlisted.

Sheephaven Flyer is sure to be popular and he might easily win, but WALKONTHEBRITESIDE rates a feasible alternative.

18:00 Listowel NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Newcomer BECTIVE QUEEN could be good enough to make a winning start to her career. The Gordon Elliott-trained filly is a half-sister to two black-type horses, one of which won his bumper first time out. Owned by Bective Stud, the very fact that this four-year-old has been named after that location suggests that she must be pleasing connections. Time In A Bottle, another filly related to a black-type horse who struck on racecourse debut, also commands maximum respect. Henry De Bromhead does well with the horses he runs in this discipline. La Note Verte was weak in the market before finishing tailed off on her only start to date, but runners from the Willie Mullins yard should never be discounted.

BECTIVE QUEEN represents top connections and is related to the talented Grangeclare West, so there's plenty to like about her chances of making a winning debut. Time In A Bottle is also well bred and represents an excellent stable, so she's the main threat ahead of Alpha Zeta.

The Mullins filly LA NOTE VERTE was well beaten at Fairyhouse but that was a valuable bumper staged on desperate ground.

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.
