LTO Selection:

13:55 Navan Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR showed enough on her initial outing over course and distance last month to suggest she can go two places better. The Mayson filly was slowly away and held up in rear during the early stages, before making significant late ground once the penny dropped. Well drawn on her second racecourse appearance, the Kevin Coleman-trained juvenile looks the one to be with. Bruce Lightning hasn't progressed from a very pleasing introduction at Cork back in May but perhaps dropping down in trip will play to his strengths. A rating of 78 should be good enough to at least see him fight out the finish. Southbank, a debutant representing leading connections is the potential unknown quantity in the race. It will be interesting to see if any market support arrives for the Acclamation colt.

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR clearly possesses her share of ability given she finished third on debut over C&D despite fluffing her lines at the start and on that evidence, she's capable of winning a maiden such as this. Newcomers are feared most, notably Southbank and Tiffany Mae.

ANNIE EDSON TAYLOR shaped like the best horse in the maiden she finished third in over C&D a month ago and can score.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Navan Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WEST OF WICHITA is worth another chance despite running well below par on handicap debut at the Curragh last time. Sent off favourite on that occasion, the Kevin Coleman-trained filly weakened inside the final furlong having hung left throughout. Back on a track where she ran one of her better races, when runner-up to a subsequent winner in a maiden, she can get off the mark. Calum Hogan has enough experience at this stage to be value taking off 10lb. Sanshiro, who finished a place ahead of the Coleman filly at the Curragh, could be capable of better in first-time cheekpieces. The Dandy Man gelding has shaped with a degree of promise in his maidens. Uncle Albert should be suited to dropping back to sprinting having only weakened late on over 7f at the Curragh on his most recent start.

Plenty in with a squeak but preference is for WEST OF WICHITA, who found things tougher when pestered for the lead at the Curragh last time, but Kevin Coleman's filly can leave that effort behind and open her account. Uncle Albert has been narrowly beaten on both starts in nurseries, so he's put forward as the main danger, with Barley Cove and Amerigo Vespucci another couple fancied to go well.

Though WEST OF WICHITA was well below form on last start, that was her seventh run and she could bounce back to form.

LTO Selection:

14:55 Navan Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The John McConnell-trained STANHOPE could represent some value back at a track where he has excelled in the past. Now a nine-year-old, the gelding has won three times at this venue and finished runner-up on his most recent visit here in June. Testing ground should prove no hindrance to the Equiano colt who also has a potentially favourable high draw. Merisi Diamond has little to recommend him in terms of form but it interesting that the locally trained gelding has remained in training late into his four-year-old career, with connections securing the services of in-form apprentice Conor Stone-Walsh. Art Of Unity has been running consistently well of late so has to enter calculations on the back of another solid effort when runner-up at Bellewstown last week.

DISTILLATE proved better than ever when scoring at Bellewstown last week and is taken to follow up. Mogwli and Step Back In Time head the list of dangers.

A maximum field but it is probably best to keep things simple and stick with DISTILLATE(nap) to follow up her career-best win last week

LTO Selection:

15:25 Navan Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HEAVENLY POWER is a speculative suggestion in a tight knit handicap where any number of contenders are capable of winning if at their best. The Eddie Lynam-trained gelding was slightly unlucky in running when fifth in the Scurry Handicap earlier in the season, form that stands out in the context of this race. Just denied back at the Curragh on his next outing, the five-year-old has been slightly disappointing on his two most recent starts. If back to his best, he has a class edge here. Real Force finished mid-division in a premier handicap last time, having won at Cork on his previous start. The six-year-old should make a bold bid under Conor Stone-Walsh. Wave Machine returned to form when successful at Down Royal last month. The visor she wore on that occasion is replaced by blinkers here.

The step up to 7f was a plausible excuse for HEAVENLY POWER at the Curragh 11 days ago and quickly back sprinting, he could be the way to go. Last-time-out winners Mickey The Steel and Collective Power (a stablemate of the selection) are feared most.

Last week's Bellewstown winner MICKEY THE STEEL will have suitable ground conditions again and may cope with a 7lb rise.

LTO Selection:

15:55 Navan Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A difficult contest to assess, with very little form to go on. Aidan O'Brien introduces two expensive yearling purchases, with Euphoric bought for 1.9 million guineas, while South Pole was knocked down for 650,000 guineas. Whatever happens here, they will both come on plenty for this initial experience. Ger Lyons is also double-handed, with Colin Keane opting to partner ROCKING TREE. The Teme Valley-owned bay improved from his debut effort at the Curragh to finish fourth at Punchestown on his most recent start and he can put his experience to good use now. Gavin Cromwell has done well with his juveniles this season and the County Meath handler is represented by Moutarde, who is an interesting contender on debut. Benvoy and Volto Di Medusa were fifth and sixth in their respective barrier trials at Dundalk last month, with the latter since down the field on his racecourse debut at Down Royal.

EUPHORIC cost a fortune as a yearling and is the choice of Seamie Heffernan, so he's taken to make a winning start at the expense of stablemate South Pole without the benefit of market clues. Best Law also makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Not much to go on here so the 1.9m guineas purchase price boasted by EUPHORIC is the most significant factor

LTO Selection:

16:25 Navan Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A case can be made for all 13 runners in this fiercely competitive affair. Bidding for a fourth win in a row and her fifth of the season, FRATAS gets the nod. The admirable chestnut battled gamely to beat Royal Eagle at Tramore on her latest start, with that rival successful over flights at Tipperary on Sunday. The selection will be ridden by the talented Wesley Joyce, who claims a valuable 7lb. Drop The Dip and Dumb Love were both successful at Bellewstown last week, with the hat-trick seeking former given second preference. He beat Perfect Poise by a neck at the County Meath venue and that reopposing Kodiac bay is likely to have plenty of supporters as she bids to reverse the form. Timeless Soul is the highest rated runner in the line-up and it'll be interesting to see how she fares, turned out again quickly after finishing an eye-catching third on Sunday. With four wins between them this season, Plume Noire and You Owe Me Money are other leading hopes.

PERFECT POISE arrives on the up yet can race off the same mark as when a very good Bellewstown second last time so gets the vote. Signora Bellissima heads the list of dangers on the back of her C&D success from the selection, with in-form duo Dance Night Andday and You Owe Me Money also in the mix in a competitive handicap.

An eyecatcher on return from a break at Punchestown last time, YOU OWE ME MONEY could get back on the scoresheet again.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Navan Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aengus King has his horses in fine form of late, saddling two winners within the last fortnight. The County Clare handler is represented by TASMANIAN GIRL in this wide-open affair and the daughter of Australia looks capable of making an impact. A solid fifth on her penultimate start at Roscommon, she came in for some market support at Cork on Tuesday of last week, finishing a never nearer fourth of 18 behind Zephron. Upped in trip now to 10 furlongs, it'll be disappointing if she is not involved towards the business end. Secret Rock has won two of his last four and would be a worthy favourite, while Grann's Boy and Not Just Any Eagle are other obvious contenders, with the latter beaten by a nose at Gowran in July. Second and third respectively in this race 12 months ago, Gudrun Genberg and Noble Crusade both warrant respect, while Leabaland, Pollanassa and Game Notion are others for the shortlist.

SOLAR BREEZE wasn't seen to best effect at Punchestown last time but she'd been in good form previously and the step up in trip could suit her, so she gets the nod over Grann's Boy and Secret Rock.

A race of this standard looks within the range of NOT JUST ANY EAGLE who went very close for today's rider at Gowran in July.

LTO Selection:

17:25 Navan Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Even more competitive than the opening divide. Successful in first time blinkers at the Curragh recently, Magic Charm should go close in his attempt to follow up, while course and distance winner Stay Local, top-weight Hello Power and Tim Doyle's Special Protector are other leading hopes. For a selection, it might be worth siding with LITTLE JO. A nine-time winner in the UK, he had no luck in running when a never nearer fourth at Galway last month. The Major Cadeaux nine-year-old has been given a chance by the handicapper and is down 10lb since making his debut here in July. John McConnell trains the selection and is also represented by Dinamine, who is not without his chance. Init Together, Lucky Question and Flier are a few more for the shortlist, with the latter beaten by just three-parts of a length over this course and distance on her penultimate start.

LITTLE JO is running well and could be the way to go. Stay Local is respected back here under Conor Stone-Walsh, with old rival Flier another to note.

The ground will suit LITTLE JO who recorded the most recent of nine British wins on heavy going in the spring and is now on a fair mark

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.
