14:20 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A dual winner over 1m4f, SOLAR DRIVE isn't as highly rated on the Flat as some of these but has taken well to hurdling and had Action Plan a little over two lengths back in third when landing a Ballinrobe maiden. Action Plan again ran creditably in a decent contest at Listowel on his next start, before finishing fourth at Cork on Sunday, and he will be a major player if turning up here. Hurdling debutant Slurricane stays well, as shown when placed over 1m6f on the Flat last time in a competitive Listowel handicap.

SOLAR DRIVE confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut when successful at Ballinrobe a month ago and with Action Plan an unlikely runner after just a fair fourth at Cork on Sunday, this looks a good opportunity. Slurricane stayed well on the level and is a definite threat if taking to this new discipline.

Ballinrobe winner Solar Drive may struggle to give weight to hurdles debutant SLURRICANE

14:50 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 16f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Runner-up on his last two starts, bumper winner SINGLE EDITION can go one better and record a first success over hurdles. Nigel Slevin's six-year-old was outstayed by a subsequent winner over a longer trip at Downpatrick before finding only Sayitfirst too strong at Roscommon. The selection is 7lb better off with the latter, who again showed her well-being when second at Fairyhouse last week. Targa Flavio was a well-held second when showing improved form at Listowel and he may improve for better ground, while handicap debutant Mount Anglesby brings solid maiden form to the table.

MOUNT ANGLESBY has made a good start for his new yard and his opening mark looks a fair one. In-form pair Single Edition and Sayitfirst bump into each other again and they head the dangers.

Consistent in defeat this season, JAKE PETER could get his turn today as long as the ground doesn't soften appreciably.

15:20 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PIED PIPER looks to have been found a nice opportunity to record a first win in almost two years. A genuine Grade 1 horse in his prime, the Gordon Elliott-trained six-year-old has performed with credit in decent handicaps under both codes in recent times. Fit from the Flat, the New Approach gelding should take all of the beating. Aspire Tower, who would have had a similar level of ability to the selection at his best, was off the track for almost three years prior to making his return last October. Although not the force of old, the gelding looks the main threat. Course winner Eagle Fang is next best.

Though below par on the Flat the last twice, PIED PIPER put in a solid shift when third in a major Cheltenham Festival handicap on his latest hurdles start and he'll be very hard to beat if able to reproduce form akin to that here. Aspire Tower is clear second choice ahead of Byker.

A pair of former Grade 2 winners with PIED PIPER preferred to Aspire Tower on this good ground and at this trip

15:50 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Cork bumper winner BALLYSAX HANK can step up on his recent hurdling debut at Listowel. Runner-up on that occasion, the Brendan Duke-trained gelding should have learned enough from that experience to go one better. A prominent racer, the five-year-old should appreciate returning to this venue where he previously finished fifth in a big-field bumper. The Willie Mullins-trained Mister Pink looks the obvious danger. Second over course and distance on hurdling debut last time, the six-year-old had won his bumper at Ballinrobe prior to that and likely has more to offer. Newcomer Ballyharney should be noted on his introduction for the in-form Adrian Murray stable.

This looks set to concern MISTER PINK and Ballysax Hank. The former hasn't been seen since making a promising hurdling debut over C&D a year ago, but fitness is rarely a concern given the stable he represents and he remains potentially useful.

Seemingly a match, with recent Listowel second BALLYSAX HANK (nap) preferred to last year's runner-up Mister Pink

16:20 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

C&D winner WARM IN GOREY has leading claims under Tiernan Power Roche. Only 3lb higher than when successful here last June, the Philip Rothwell-trained gelding actually races off a lower mark once taking his jockey's claim into account. A consistent sort in handicap chases in recent months, the six-year-old may appreciate reverting to hurdles. Glendars Mahler has to be respected on her first start for trainer Aidan Howard. Having been rated as high as 105 in the past, the eight-year-old is very interesting. Point-to-point winner Due Course is another to consider.

DUE COURSE shaped well at Killarney last week and can strike for in-form Gavin Cromwell. General Clermont had a good spell over the summer and is second choice ahead of Rideau Canal and International Lady, a possible improver in handicaps.

In good form over hurdles lately, DUE COURSE can improve on his third at Killarney last time stepped up in trip.

16:50 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The progressive mare ITS NOT OVER YET may be able to land her hat-trick here. She got on top in the closing stages to open her account at Tipperary in early July and won with plenty in hand when following up at Roscommon just over two weeks ago. She got a 12lb hike for that but it's often worth following a mare in form. The versatile Somptueux was fourth in a Flat maiden on his latest start and is on a competitive mark over timber. He is a danger, while Cozone comes here in winning form having taken a claimer in good style at Clonmel.

ITS NOT OVER YET is going the right way and had plenty to spare when scoring at Roscommon last time, so she gets the nod over Folly Beach, who also has potential for better still. Dorans Law is also worthy of consideration.

The aptly named ITS NOT OVER YET is taken to complete the hat-trick, despite suffering a 12lb hike for winning in a canter at Roscommon

17:20 Punchestown NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MUMMY DERRY is hard to oppose. The Yeats filly lost out by three-parts of a length to a decent sort in Meitheal on her debut at Galway last month. The half-sister to Spillanes Tower looks to have been found a good opening in which to open her account. Lau And Shaz is the potential improver in the field. She showed promise when seventh in the Goffs Bumper at the festival here in April. That tends to be a deep race. The Gordon Elliott-trained Clongorey has finished fourth on both outings over timber and could be place material in this.

MUMMY DERRY was a warm order for her debut at Galway and, while she found one too good, a repeat of that sort of performance should be enough for her to open her account here. Clongorey has showed a bit over hurdles and could get into contention, while Lau And Shaz is likely to step forward from her first outing.

Having finished 8l ahead of Minimongous when runner-up on debut at Galway, MUMMY DERRY can go one better today.

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.
