LTO Selection:

13:15 Punchestown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GRAND JOB ran a cracker on debut when runner-up to Matrika in a Curragh maiden that has worked out particularly well since. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly disappointed subsequently behind the same rival, although she was also probably on the wrong side, in a messy Group 2 Airlie Stud Stakes at the same venue on Irish Derby weekend. She's been given a break and hopefully can recapture that initial promise. Camelot Alexander should progress from her Tipperary debut while Greenfinch is certainly bred in the purple being by Justify out of the Irish 1,000 Guineas winner Misty For Me who has already produced Group 1 winners U S Navy Flag and Roly Poly. Balanda and Rising Sign are other newcomers to note.

GRAND JOB drops in grade and she's worth another chance. Newcomers Greenfinch and Rising Sign are respected, while Camelot Alexander is open to improvement after a good start at Tipperary and could be on the premises.

LTO Selection:

13:45 Punchestown Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

OCEAN CONQUEST has put in two solid efforts at the Curragh and can open his account at the third attempt. The son of Time Test cost 200,000 at the Newmarket Breeze Up Sale in May and made a bright start behind Henry Longfellow before only giving best inside the final furlong when fifth to Tamrat over this trip last month. He had Rapid Mission just over a length behind on the latter occasion. Fighter is certainly of interest being a newcomer from Ballydoyle and the Frankel colt out of a Sinndar mare is a three-parts brother to Irish Derby winner Trading Leather. Shamsuddin and Rocking Tree should both progress from debut runs at the Curragh.

OCEAN CONQUEST cost plenty at the breeze-ups and while he was a shade disappointing at the Curragh 3 weeks ago, he's well worth another chance given the promise of his debut. Fighter ticks plenty of boxes on debut, with Rapid Mission another to consider.

Probably not the strongest of maidens and Ballydoyle's newcomer FIGHTER, a son of Frankel, could be good enough

LTO Selection:

14:20 Punchestown Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PERFECT POISE caught the eye when keeping on behind Mashia in a 20-runner maiden at Naas back in May and the Ger Lyons-trained filly went close on her second handicap start again over this trip at Navan recently when just failing by a nose to Signora Bellissima. She remains on an attractive mark and has scope for further improvement. Morning Approach won over this trip at Leopardstown last summer and, having dropped down to a lower mark, comes here after a couple of solid placed efforts including when beating all bar Celebrating Ethel again at Leopardstown. Church Mountain won over a mile at Killarney in July while Akmaam also advertised his chance over this trip when beaten less than a length at the Curragh last month. One Boss has been a model of consistency this year and is another for the shortlist.

PERFECT POISE only just failed on her second go in a handicap at Navan 2 weeks ago and makes plenty of appeal off 1 lb lower. Morning Approach, Mere Accountant and One Boss make up the shortlist.

Group 3 winner last year on stable debut, nothing has gone right since, best at weights.
LTO Selection:

14:55 Punchestown Stakes 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HANNIBAL BARCA has been campaigned at the highest level including behind Westover in the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby last year and appears to have found a good opportunity to add to his tally. The son of Zoffany won as a juvenile for Brian Meehan before a creditable fourth to Luxembourg in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity Trophy at Doncaster and landed the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes for current connections over 1m2f at the Curragh last season. He's absent (and been gelded) since soundly beaten on testing ground in the Gladness Stakes at the same venue this spring. Fleetfoot has always been held in good regard by connections and shaped well on his reappearance at Roscommon last week. Jungle Cove won valuable handicaps at Leopardstown and Ascot last year but hasn't reached that level this season, while Migdam ran better than his finishing position would suggest at the Curragh on Sunday.

HANNIBAL BARCA is back over a much more suitable trip and on his peak form, his claims are fairly obvious on these terms. Migdam has yet to find his feet for this yard but it's still early days and he's feared most.

Joseph O'Brien's HANNIBAL BARCA is the best horse in the race but has something to prove after failing to live up to high expectations

LTO Selection:

15:30 Punchestown Maiden 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JACK RED CLOUD made a promising debut over a mile at Leopardstown last month and perhaps can improve enough to open his account here. The selection is by Sioux Nation but there is plenty of stamina on the dam side of the pedigree and he came home well into fourth behind Pivotal Revive. Ultra Fine went close over 1m3f at Killarney and didn't enjoy the clearest of passages at the Curragh last time, while Nakassama was claimed after going close on debut and was again just denied over 1m2f in a Down Royal maiden. Guided also looks well capable of success judged on four outings and is now fitted with cheek pieces, while City Exile and Time To Soar are others to consider in what looks a competitive maiden.

NAKASSAMA has filled the runner-up spot by narrow margins on both outings so far and with further improvement on the cards, James McAuley's 3-y-o is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Ultra Fine, who still looked very rough around the edges at the Curragh last month and remains capable of better. Guided and City Exile can fight out minor honours.

Having shaped nicely under a considerate ride on his debut last month JACK RED CLOUD gets a tentative vote in an ordinary maiden

LTO Selection:

16:05 Punchestown Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ANGELIC APPEAL scored on her first handicap start at the Curragh last month and the form of that 1m2f event has been well advertised since with the second and the fourth both winning handicaps next time out. The well-bred daughter of Siyouni can follow up off a 6lb higher mark. Everylittlestep completed a hat-trick this summer and, despite a combined 21lb hike for that run of success, went close last time in a 19-runner handicap at the Curragh. She's now reunited with champion jockey Colin Keane and is well suited by this trip. Bambeano provided Orla McKenna with her first winner when beating Independent Expert and Machnamh at Gowran Park while Star Galaxy has shown promise in three maiden starts and is an interesting contender on her handicap debut.

EVERYLITTLESTEP is thriving at the moment and, having travelled like the best horse at the weights when second at the Curragh last time, she's worth a chance to add a fourth success of the campaign. Angelic Appeal is an obvious danger on the back of a successful handicap bow at the Curragh and Star Galaxy is open to improvement.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Punchestown Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FINAL CHECK appreciated the step up to a mile when scoring at Killarney in July and the John O'Donoghue-trained filly continues to progress with each outing. She beat all bar Kampala Beach over this trip at Leopardstown last time and Wesley Joyce now claims a valuable 7lb. She has more scope for improvement than Slieve Bearnagh who dropped down to a basement mark to record a third career win over 1m2f at Navan recently. Jack Kearney's 7lb claim more than compensates the rise incurred for that victory. Alfalfa hails from a yard in good form and went close in the other division of that aforementioned 1m2f Navan handicap. The lightly raced gelding obviously comes here in good form and can progress further.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and ALFALFA looks the way to go on the back of his very good recent Navan second. Super Cub rates a big threat now stepping up in trip, with Final Check and Slieve Bearnagh also firmly in the picture.

17:15 Punchestown Handicap 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

POLLANASSA made a promising start for Kevin Coleman last year including over this C&D but struggled after getting an initial handicap mark of 72. That rating has now dropped below 50 and he showed definite spark on a first start for Ray Cody. He didn't enjoy the clearest of passages but was still only beaten about two lengths behind Slieve Bearnagh at Navan and Jack Kearney claims a valuable 7lb. Wrist Art appeared to find this trip a shade too far at Leopardstown but did finish well after meeting some trouble in running when third to Asisaid over a mile at Naas last time and also has a capable 7lb claimer booked. Miss Langmore merits respect following her third over this trip at Tipperary while Nyota should progress from her reappearance at the Curragh last month.

POLLANASSA is on an appealing mark and made a positive start for his new yard when fifth at Navan 11 days ago, so he's worth taking a chance on in a race where the majority are struggling for form. Wrist Art shaped quite well when third at Naas last time, so he's considered a threat along with Miss Langmore.

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.
