LTO Selection:

12:20 Punchestown Handicap Chase 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Just a nose separated Faith Loving (winner) and GREENWAY MACHINE (second) when the pair met at Fairyhouse nine days ago, but the latter, who is 3lb better off at the weights today, is fancied to reverse that form en route to success. He Fitz In arrives having posted back-to-back seconds and he must enter the reckoning, along with the consistent Fox Le Bel. Highstreetfashion might be 10lb higher than when winning this 12 months ago, but Patrick Rooney's gelding is unlikely to go down without a fight.

It's tough to put much confidence in a 27-race maiden, but FOX LE BEL ran creditably to place once more in the handicap Faith Loving won at Fairyhouse recently and with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs, he gets the tentative nod. The aforementioned Faith Loving showed a good attitude on his handicap bow so he heads up the dangers, with Greenway Machine and Da Big Fella taken to do battle for third.

Five members of this field clashed at Fairyhouse last week. However, none of these may cope with recent Galway second DA BIG FELLA

LTO Selection:

12:55 Punchestown Maiden Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BUA BOY was last seen finishing down the field in the County Hurdle at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival and he has since switched to the in-form Philip M Byrne yard. The son of Doyen is the top-rated of this field over hurdles and warrants the utmost respect on his chase debut following a long absence. The main threat could be Bleu D'enfer, who failed to fire off a mark of 120 at Ayr but could show a lot more stepping into novice company. Of the remainder, Deployed makes the most appeal on his chasing bow.

ASLUKWOODHAVIT is in good hands and upped his game over hurdles at the end of last season. He is taken to make a winning chasing bow. Willywampus and Deployed are also of interest.

Henry de Bromheads's Tramore maiden winner ASLUKWUDHAVIT may have the winning of this on his chase debut

LTO Selection:

13:30 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The majority of those with hurdling experience will need to find more than we have seen so far if they want to get the better of PACINI, who makes his debut for the in-form Gordon Elliott after winning his sole start on the Flat in Germany. He could be an above-average recruit and might make a winning start to his new career, possibly at the expense of Semblance Of Order. The Buratino gelding was decent enough on the Flat and could be the selection's biggest rival if he takes to obstacles, although Jeaniemacaroney is open to improvement and may surprise a few.

PACINI starts out hurdling for the red-hot Gordon Elliott team on the back of a debut success at Durtal so looks the way to go. Both Jeaniemacaroney and Eagles Reign have the form to play a part too and can chase home the selection in that order.

With Gordon Elliott's team in brilliant form French import PACINI, who should have no issues with going or trip, will be hard to beat

14:05 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Ascending is likely to have his supporters after finishing a respectable fifth in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham in March and Henry de Bromhead's gelding is sure to go close if running to a similar level on his seasonal bow. However, IT'S FOR ME may have the scope to reach higher heights after a cracking fifth in the Champion Bumper, and the five-year-old should take all of the beating if translating that ability to hurdles. Caldwell Potter makes most appeal of the remainder.

This looks like a good opportunity for ASCENDING, who was a promising second on debut in this sphere last December and wasn't disgraced in Grade 1 company thereafter, last seen finishing a creditable fifth of 15 in the Triumph Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival. It's For Me showed plenty in bumpers and is just about second choice, with Whimsy also high on the shortlist.

A very good standard is set here by last season's good juvenile ASCENDING, fifth in the Triumph Hurdle, and he can take beating

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

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

This looks a good opportunity for MISS PRONUNCIATION to follow up her taking success over 2m at Limerick last month. She races off a 9lb higher mark but won with plenty in hand that day and, being out of a Grade 3-winning dam, she has scope for plenty of further progress. The biggest threats may be Ellaat, a three-time hurdles winner who ran two good races on the level last month, and Perzzini. The latter showed promise when making all in a 2m maiden at Gowran in September and he can be forgiven unseating his rider over that same C&D on Saturday.

MISS PRONUNCIATION looked well ahead of the handicapper when scoring at Limerick last month and she makes plenty of appeal in the follow-up bid. Realism, in the same ownership, is of interest after a break and Team of Firsts looks open to improvement.

There could be more to come from MISS PRONUNCIATION who won snugly on her handicap debut at Limerick and is now 9lb higher

15:15 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LOUGHGLYNN didn't make much impression in the Champion Bumper at the Cheltenham Festival when ninth, but he could prove a different proposition now switched to hurdles. The son of Vendangeur looks to have been found a suitable opportunity and could take all of the beating. Charity Barnum was still going well when falling three out at Navan when last seen in March and could have a say, while any market confidence behind Elusive Prince would be noteworthy on his debut under Rules.

The one with the most appealing credentials is CHARITY BARNUM, who showed ability in a couple of bumpers and was still bang there when exiting at third-last on his hurdles debut at Naas. Loughglynn could have a part to play, while stablemates Native Speaker and Elusive Prince also need a second look.

LOUGHGLYNN showed his potential when winning a Navan bumper last December and when not beaten far at Cheltenham. He is the one to beat

15:45 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Now that HUNTING BROOK has tasted success for the first time over timber, Gordon Elliott's charge could kick on. Representing a yard which can seemingly do no wrong at the moment, the Presenting gelding should have more in the locker and a 7lb penalty for his Down Royal win six days ago doesn't look enough to prevent another bold showing. I Am Spider Man tries cheekpieces for the first time and is noted, while Blenheim Belle, Hutchie and Birdsandthebees are others expected to go well.

HUNTING BROOK landed a gamble upped markedly in trip at Down Royal last week and looks capable of following up under a penalty with further improvement likely for his new stable. I Am Spider Man and Blenheim Belle are a couple of potential threats.

There should be more to come from HUNTING BROOK(nap) after winning at Down Royal on Friday and the drop in trip could well suit

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.
