LTO Selection:

11:40 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Lark In The Mornin achieved a decent level of form in two starts on the Flat and has to warrant the utmost respect on his first attempt over timber. Similar comments apply to his stable companion Harsh, although the vote goes to MIGHTY BANDIT. Gordon Elliott's charge boasts a pedigree that suggests he can make an impact straight away in this sphere and he could be yet another exciting recruit for the Cullentra House stable.

MIGHTY BANDIT is an interesting newcomer for Gordon Elliott and market confidence for him would look significant. Lark In The Mornin showed plenty on his 2 starts on the Flat so is another to consider, while San Guido has the best form over hurdles.

Joseph O'Brien does well with his juveniles and LARK IN THE MORNIN is the pick of his 3 having shown a useful level of form on the Flat

12:13 Punchestown Maiden Hurdle 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Several of these are interesting prospects and expensive point-to-point winner Mossy Fen Park has stacks of potential. Jhentong Enki also struck between the flags and was a fair third at Roscommon on his timber bow, while Brennus Lescribaa is another with some hurdling experience to call upon now and rates as the pick of Gordon Elliott's two contenders. However, it is difficult to get away from PREDATORS GOLD, who impressed in a bumper at the Festival here in April and could be one of Willie Mullins' more interesting novices this term.

PREDATORS GOLD looked a good prospect when making a successful bumper debut at this course 7 months ago and is taken to maintain his unbeaten record now switched to hurdling. Mossy Fen Park is a fascinating Rules debutant having changed hands for big money after winning his second start in Irish points in easy fashion, while Jhentong Enki and Doctor Elvis are others to consider in an intriguing maiden.

It was an impressive performance from PREDATORS GOLD in the Goffs Defender Bumper when last seen and that's the key piece of form

LTO Selection:

12:48 Punchestown Maiden Chase 19f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

All eyes will be on GAELIC WARRIOR, who already heads the ante-post market for the Brown Advisory ahead of this first over the larger obstacles. The five-year-old's only defeat last term came when chasing home potential superstar stablemate Impaire Et Passe in the Ballymore, after which he ran away from his rivals when upped to 3m in a Grade 1 here. Inothewayurthinkin is feared most after an eyecatching second behind Imagine over the extended 2m at Fairyhouse, while Cool Survivor can build on his chasing bow, when making Quilixios pull out all the stops at Limerick.

GAELIC WARRIOR landed 4 of his 5 starts over hurdles last term, runner-up in the Ballymore at Cheltenham prior to bagging Grade 1 glory himself here in April. An exciting prospect for his all-conquering yard, he looks the way to go on chase debut. Inothewayurthinkin and Cool Survivor, both of whom boast chase experience, rate the chief threats, with Senior Chief and An Epic Song others to keep an eye on.

GAELIC WARRIOR (nap) will be hard to beat if he takes to fences having looked in a different league to these rivals over timber

LTO Selection:

13:23 Punchestown Maiden Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A decent renewal of this Grade 2 but dual Stayers' Hurdle winner FLOORING PORTER could take some stopping after a highly satisfactory chasing debut at Cheltenham last month when beating Broadway Boy, who gave the form a mighty boost when scoring emphatically last weekend. Affordale Fury also got the job done nicely enough on his chasing bow at Galway and is open to plenty of progress, as is the reappearing Churchstonewarrior, who landed a Grade 2 when last seen in February.

FLOORING PORTER isn't the most obvious chaser on looks and is coming to it relatively late, but he took to it well when making a winning start at Cheltenham on his return and obviously has scope to improve given his hurdling ability. Affordable Fury promises to make a better chase than hurdler so must be feared after beating Favori de Champdou with a bit in hand on his chase bow at Galway.

A cracking novice chase for this stage of the season. FLOORING PORTER' best form is going left-handed but still gets the vote

(2) Ha D'or 6/1, Latest win in chase at Fairyhouse in December. Fell 9th in handicap chase at this course (21.2f, good to soft, 11/10). Off 7 months. Has to be taken seriously off a handy-looking mark for his in-form stable.
Halfway faller in valuable C&D handicap at the festival; hard to be confident in.
LTO Selection:

13:58 Punchestown Handicap Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A case can be made for most of these but marginal preference is for HA D'OR, who is well handicapped based on the pick of his form as a novice last season. He fell when favourite for a valuable event at this venue when last seen in April, but it would be no surprise to see the six-year-old make amends here. Adamantly Chosen is capable of giving his stablemate plenty to think about, while Idas Boy edges out Mars Harper and Walk Away to be best of the rest.

Plenty with chances but the vote goes to HA D'OR who resumes on a lenient mark and can take full advantage for a yard among the winners. Gordon Elliott's duo Mars Harper and Coqolino both look to have better days ahead of them too and can chase home Willie Mullins' 6-y-o in that order in an intriguing handicap.

Concentrate on two at the foot of the handicap, WALK AWAY narrowly preferred to Coquilino, although both have jumping issues

Recent Cesarewitch second with fitness assured and likely one to follow State Man home.
LTO Selection:

14:35 Punchestown Conditions Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STATE MAN proved too good in this contest last year for the first of four Grade 1 victories in a campaign that would have been flawless were it not for superstar Constitution Hill, who swatted him aside in the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. Willie Mullins' six-year-old remains a class above anything in this division on home soil and should be set for another dominant season - in Ireland, anyway. Echoes In Rain landed the Mares Champion Hurdle here and could get closest to her illustrious stablemate, although Pied Piper may have something to say about that.

STATE MAN was comfortably the best 2m hurdler in Ireland last season and can provide Willie Mullins with a remarkable twelfth win in this since 2011. Stable-companion Echoes In Rain can follow him home.

Following last season's path STATE MAN can't be opposed on his seasonal return

LTO Selection:

15:08 Punchestown Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

YEATS STAR left the impression there was plenty more to come when pulling clear for a comfortable 2m2f maiden success at Downpatrick and while an opening mark of 122 may not leave him with too much room for error, he looks the most likely winner for his in-form trainer/jockey combination. El Champo made all to complete a Galway double but has a further 8lb rise to contend with and the biggest threat to the selection may come from Striking, who impressed when landing a maiden here in June.

There's been no stopping Gordon Elliott in November and his YEATS STAR gets the nod to make a winning start to his handicap career. The thriving El Champo and Noel Meade's Poets Cottage head the dangers.

A chance is taken on the fitness of SONNY MAY who showed promise last season and looks well treated on his handicap debut here

LTO Selection:

15:43 Punchestown NH Flat Race 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A second at Curraghmore on his sole appearance between the flags prompted Gordon Elliott to go to 200,000 euros for THE ENABLER. He could only fill the runner-up spot on his first start under Rules at Thurles last month, but the experience won't be lost on him and he can go one better. Scamall Bawn had Toor Khov back in third when making a successful beginning to his career at Cork, although he isn't guaranteed to confirm that superiority on the revised terms. In any case, perhaps 155,000-pounds newcomer I Am Mimi will give the selection most to think about.

THE ENABLER has filled second spot in a point and bumper to date and this looks like a good chance for him to open his account acknowledging that Scamall Bawn was impressive when scoring at Cork first time out.

Cork winner Scamall Bawn could struggle to concede weight to the Thurles second THE ENABLER

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.
