14:05 Listowel Maiden Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although yet to get his head in front in seven career starts to date, IRISH PANTHER undoubtedly has the ability to win races. The Edward O'Grady-trained gelding finished runner-up on his only point-to-point outing, before reaching the frame on all three bumper starts. Having done likewise over hurdles, the seven-year-old gives the impression that it is only a matter of time before he makes the breakthrough. Stormbreaker, who won twice on the Flat when trained in Britain, is entitled to come on from his recent hurdling debut. Although the Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old finished second, he should be capable of better. Stablemate Mr Escobar boasts a similar profile, having shaped with promise on his penultimate start.

STORMBREAKER chased home a pretty useful type in Intense Approach (winner again since) on debut in this sphere at Downpatrick and, with the promise of better to come, he earns the vote ahead of Irish Panther, who sets the standard but he was below par at Killarney when last seen in May and is becoming expensive to follow. The selection's stablemate Mr Escobar is best of the rest.

MR ESCOBAR ran out when last seen over timber but shaped with promise previously and arrives on the back of a big Flat run

14:40 Listowel Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An eye-catching fifth on the Flat at the Curragh last time, HELVIC DREAM should be spot on for this return to hurdling. The Noel Meade-trained seven-year-old looks very well handicapped off a mark of 127, having also attained a triple digit rating on the level. At home with an ease in the ground, the recent rain will have been very welcome to connections of the gelding. Veteran Lord Erskine has been in fine form all year despite his advancing years. Winner of a Listed handicap hurdle at the Dublin Racing Festival, the 11-year-old showed up well on two runs at Galway. Last year's winner Man O Work is now 6lb higher in the ratings but has been lightly raced in recent times. A repeat bid has almost certainly been his primary objective.

Unexposed 5-y-os TOUNSIVATOR and Frankendael both make plenty of appeal. Preference is for the former, who went close in a Galway handicap on his penultimate start prior to coasting home in a Kilbeggan novice. Man O Work will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward, while Sherodan, who should be all the better for last month's reappearance spin on the Flat, is also accorded respect.

This looks competitive but THE DASHER CONWAY still looks well treated, despite a 4lb rise for an unlucky defeat at Kilbeggan recently

15:15 Listowel Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A dual winner on the Flat, the Tony Mullins-trained OAKLEY can register a first success over hurdles. Having shown a hint of ability in his qualifying runs, the six-year-old was sent off a well backed 7/2f on his handicap debut at Tipperary in May. Leading after three out, a bad mistake at the penultimate flight saw him lose all chance. Despite that, the son of Protectionist kept on to finish a respectable fifth. With a better round of jumping, the gelding should have too much class for this grade. Twice successful over hurdles this season, Flashthelights has to be of interest for trainer Noel Kelly. The eight-year-old makes the long trek down from County Derry so is clearly fancied by connections. The locally-trained Tipp For Mac has yet to win a race but is a consistent horse who should at least reach the frame.

Unsurprisingly plenty arrive with claims including the returning OAKLEY. He showed much more than previously in this sphere and shaped better than the bare result to boot when fifth on handicap debut at Tipperary in May and he could be worth chancing back from a break with the prospect of more to come. Benjis Benefit is much better than his latest effort suggests and is feared. Impero and Flashthelights complete the shortlist.

A drop in trip on rain-softened ground could be the answer for JUNOT who hasn't had his preferred conditions in recent starts

15:50 Listowel Handicap Hurdle 22f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Recent Galway runner-up HEES DYNAMITE can go one better in this similar grade. Perhaps unlucky to bump into a well handicapped rival at the western track, the Eric McNamara-trained gelding holds leading claims here. Jockey Sean Flanagan looks a significant booking for a stable that tend to target this meeting. West Clare, another that had to settle for minor honours at Ballybrit last month, should also be involved for Brian McMahon. The Leading Light gelding was only just touched off when sent off favourite under Richie Deegan. Locally trained Spavango, who shaped well in decent maidens over the winter, should find this somewhat easier. Eoin McCarthy is sure to have had this meeting in mind for the gelding for some time.

The vote goes to RANGER BILLY, who found just one too good at Ballinrobe last time and he remains on a workable mark up 2 lb. Hees Dynamite is 0-11 overall but was also runner-up on his latest start at Galway and will be a danger to all if able to build on that. West Clare went down all guns blazing when touched off by the re-opposing Oskar High last time and is taken to get the better of that rival on these revised terms. Granda George is one to keep an eye on now handicapping.

A chance is taken on HEES DYNAMITE, who probably hit the front too soon when runner-up over this trip at Galway

16:25 Listowel Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Winner of this corresponding race in 2022, TEMPTATIONINMILAN can record another success for trainer Charles Byrnes. The Milan gelding missed last year's renewal as he was later returning to training. However, having won off a mark of 112 last February, the eight-year-old doesn't look badly treated here off 4lb lower here. Ballinrobe runner-up Cahirdown Boy is sure to have been primed for this local meeting. However, the Eric McNamara-trained gelding has shown his best form on quicker ground so wouldn't want conditions to deteriorate further. Marelly has yet to show any worthwhile form over fences but is nicely handicapped on his best form over hurdles. With soft ground very much in his favour, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding has to be a contender.

GAELIC DES CHASTYS has made a promising start to chasing and, having found one too good again at Roscommon last time, he's fancied to open his acccount in this sphere. Cahirdown Boy and Farrokh, also runners-up last time, should also be involved.

EVERYSTEP OFTHEWAY should get a lovely toe into the race as he sits in behind the likely front-runner and gets the vote

17:00 Listowel Stakes 14f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having yet to strike from five attempts over hurdles, reverting to the Flat could see OMNISCIENT return to winning ways. A dual winner for Sir Mark Prescott, the five-year-old has been less than fluent since switching his attention to jumping. Without any obstacles in his path on this occasion, the gelding looks to have strong claims. Killarney winner Seddon faces a stiffer task over this shorter trip but given the manner of his success last time the John McConnell-trained veteran commands maximum respect. Former German winner Weston has yet to get his head in front in this country but shaped with promise when fourth for current connections at Navan in May. The gelding had excuses when badly hampered at Galway on his latest start.

JETARA has proven most likeable and progressive over hurdles and, getting weight from most, she's worth a chance to make a winning Flat debut at the possible expense of Weston, who sets the standard and has an excuse for his latest outing. Seddon is also of interest.

Preference is for WESTON (nap). He had an excuse latest, he has won on soft ground and a repeat of his Navan run in May could suffice.

Gavin Cromwell introduces a well-bred newcomer in the shape of EMILY'S LIGHT. A half-sister to a Grade 1-placed horse in the US, the daughter of Diamond Boy is an intriguing debutant and a bold bid is expected. Runner-up on her first three starts, the Shark Hanlon-trained Pure Logic disappointed at Killarney last time. Although having something to prove now, the four-year-old sets the standard amongst those that have raced. Amboyna has shown promise in her three starts and is another to consider.

AMEN KATE is both out of and half-sister to dual bumper winners and, with Patrick Mullins booked for her debut, she makes most appeal in what looks quite an open event on paper. Fellow newcomer Emily's Light merits respect and Pure Logic looks the pick of those with experience.

The most likely debutante is Gavin Cromwell's EMILY'S LIGHT, who is related to plenty of winners and the stable do well in this sphere

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.
