LTO Selection:

16:55 Roscommon Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WESTERN CAPE sets the standard here and may prove the pick. The Footstepsinthesand gelding had some good runs at Dundalk but failed to get home over 10 furlongs on his handicap debut at Cork after running freely early on. Dropping back in trip now should help and he's be the one to beat on his third-placed effort at Dundalk in March. Zero Fighter looks the obvious danger, having a rating 2lb inferior. Adam Caffrey takes a valuable 7lb off his back to help his chances as well. The Muhaarar gelding ran a nice race first time when fourth at Dundalk but failed to build on that. Six furlongs may have been too short and ten too far though. Master Garvey has a bit to find at the weights but has been running consistently in handicap company and might not be far away.

WESTERN CAPE was third in a claimer at Dundalk earlier in the year and might be capable of getting off the mark at the seventh time of asking. One For Mum, Zero Fighter and Master Garvey can give Denis Hogan's charge most to think about.

The form shown by Western Cape in maidens last year is hard to ignore in a race such as this and he gets the vote

LTO Selection:

17:25 Roscommon Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PORT LOUIS might be able to put his experience to good use. The James Garfield colt has run with promise on both starts, particularly when fourth at the Curragh last time behind Do It With Style. He kept on well over six furlongs last time so going a bit further now looks an obvious move. Joseph O'Brien saddles three in the race and Hasshoffman looks interesting on breeding. The Starspangledbanner colt is from a good black-type family, he is a half-brother to Queen Mary third Hairy Rocket. Jessica Harrington's newcomer Heliogabalus looks another one to note in the market. The Holy Roman Emperor colt is half-brother to a couple of winners in France, including one that was listed placed.

No surprise were this to go to a newcomer, with JAADIL just about the pick of the bunch on paper, so she's offered before the benefit of market clues. Hasshoffman and Necessitate are other likely types, with Port Louis the most persuasive of those with experience.

It could pay to side with PORT LOUIS who looked progressive at the Curragh and Colin Keane may make good use of his inside draw

LTO Selection:

17:55 Roscommon Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CHERRY BLOOM was narrowly denied at Dundalk last month and may be able to gain some compensation here. The Holy Roman Emperor filly just emerged the wrong side of a tight photo finish last time with Blue Wood. She can be slowly away at times but if she gets out well again she could make the most of a low draw. Sunset Nova has a chance for a stable in form but hasn't fared well with the draw, out in the widest berth. He stayed on well when fourth at Sligo recently and going back up in trip should suit. Barnhill Rose has been knocking on the door this spring and looks another that has to be on the shortlist.

Hard to warm to the majority of these with BROWN EAGLE awarded the vote having gained his sole success over this C&D and last month's reappearance will ensure he's spot on for this. Barnhill Rose and Cherry Bloom are a couple of threats.

It may pay to side with top-weight BROWN EAGLE, winner of a C&D claimer on this card last year and on a good mark after his run at Cork

Hard to assess and no surprise if he was better than his mark but best watched.
LTO Selection:

18:25 Roscommon Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A big run in the first division of this race by Cherry Bloom would obviously advertise the chances of BLUE WOOD, who beat her at Dundalk last time. Mark Cahill got a first win out of the Requinto gelding when he just prevailed by a nose last month in a tight finish. He had slipped to a nice mark before joining the Carrick-On-Suir trainer and off just 4lb higher may be able to strike back on turf now. Designer Cailin has run well on her last couple of starts, on the all-weather and on soft ground in Cork. She was raised just a pound for finishing runner-up last time and could be a big player again. Singe Anglais was an eye-catcher when second on his first outing for Declan McGuigan at Sligo last time and he should appreciate going up in trip now.

The vote goes to SINGE ANGLAIS, who shaped well on his first start for this yard in a Sligo claimer last week and resumes in handicap company on a career-low mark. The return to this trip may well be in his favour, too. Designer Cailin is 0-14 on turf but found just one too strong at Cork earlier this month and a reproduction of that would put her firmly in the picture. Pallasmore Lass is third choice ahead of Blue Wood.

Preference is for SINGE ANGLAIS on the back of a good run in a Sligo claimer last week. The step up in trip will suit him well

LTO Selection:

18:55 Roscommon Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HUTTON GLEN is by a sprinter but his dam won the Ascot Stakes over 2m4f and there's a good chance he'll improve for stepping up to this trip. Ger Lyons' charge stayed on well for second over a mile at Gowran last time and had Pearl Of Australia over four lengths behind in fourth. Astar was also runner-up at Gowran last time and, although the filly that beat her didn't advertise the form at York, should be involved in the finish. Gimmie Shelter, fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time, ran a couple of nice races last term and his brother won the Group 3 Gallinule Stakes over this trip. Galileo's Compass, a brother to a Group 2 winner over 1m4f, is a newcomer to note.

Preference is for HUTTON GLEN, who has acquitted himself well in both starts so far and is bred to appreciate this longer trip. Gimmie Shelter and Astar head the list of dangers.

With a hood added today, ASTAR(nap) will hopefully settle better and can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking.

LTO Selection:

19:25 Roscommon Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NARLITA has run well on all three starts since joining Harry Rogers and can get a first win on the board. She had Halla Ban, who runs from 3lb out of the handicap here, back in fourth when just failing to get up at Gowran last time and can defy a 5lb hike although she will have to prove her effectiveness on better ground. Autocrat narrowly defeated Dubawi Spectre at Dundalk in February and followed up over 1m4f at the same venue last month. He's an improving three-year-old with good claims again. Dubawi Spectre wasn't beaten far at Cork on his latest outing and is tried in new headgear while Play It Again Zaam, stepping up in trip, is an interesting handicap debutant on just his second start for Joseph O'Brien.

This can go to NARLITA, who only narrowly failed to open her account at Gowran earlier this month and remains on a workable mark. Dubawi Spectre and Autocrat rate the principal dangers.

Having run a fine race after a break at Cork last time, DUBAWI SPECTRE should have improved enough from that to score.

LTO Selection:

19:55 Roscommon Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There are plenty of unexposed types in here with more that half of the field stepping into handicap company for the first time but WHISKY ON THE HILL is the one with the solid form in the book. He's gone up another 7lb for the latest of two wins at Sligo but a good claimer is engaged to negate that hike and he shapes like stepping up to 1m4f will suit. Drying ground is a slight concern but he'll take a bit of beating. Notturno chased home the selection at Sligo last month and is 8lb better off here but may struggle to turn around the form. Master Dunraven has run a couple of nice races in maidens and could be on a fair mark while Gavin Cromwell's pair, Pinot Gris and Macinamillion, may also be capable of more prominent showings.

WHISKY ON THE HILL has improved in leaps and bounds since switched to handicaps and is taken to complete the hat-trick. He meets Notturno on significantly worse terms than when proving 2¾ lengths too good for that rival on the first of his two victories over 10.4f at Sligo in recent weeks, but this step up in trip promises to bring about further improvement. Notturno is nevertheless greatly respected and rates the clear main danger, while handicap debutant Rauzan is one to note in the betting.

Whisky On The Hill is greatly respected but NOTTURNO is now 15lb better off with him from their Sligo clash and can turn the tables

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

Amy Jo Hayes won three times on FIVE ZEROS last term and was on board the daughter of Mustajeeb when she reappeared at Sligo last month. After finishing a fair sixth there on ground softer than ideal, the six-year-old should be primed to go well under her regular partner. Sequoiaspirit made a fine start to the season when winning readily over a longer trip at Gowran and has to be respected off a 7lb higher mark. Scott Lang was narrowly denied at Navan last month and has Colin Keane's assistance while Agenda was a three-time winner over this trip in France and has joined a shrewd yard. Magnetic North bounced back to form at Leopardstown on Friday and is a C&D winner but a 7lb penalty may be difficult to defy.

LUMINOUS LIGHT arrives fit from a good spell over hurdles (won last month) and is selected to make a successful return to the Flat under Shane Foley. Last-time-out winners Magnetic North and Sequoiaspirit head the dangers along with recent Navan second Scott Lang, the mount of Colin Keane.

It might be worth taking a flyer on BIGZ BELIEF, who has been running with credit on the Flat recently.

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.
