16:38 Roscommon Maiden Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This looks a match between the two JP McManus representatives, HERCULE DU SEUIL and Roseys Hollow. While he has to give weight away to his three rivals, the Willie Mullins-trained former should prove up to the task. A Grade 2-winning hurdler, he was disappointingly beaten into second on his debut over fences at Ballinrobe early last month. He returned to the Mayo venue and made amends on his next start, impressively making all despite some slight mistakes. Mullins now looks to have found an ideal opportunity for the French bred six-year-old to follow up. With Aidan Kelly's claim included, Roseys Hollow will carry a total of 19lb less than the selection. A smart performer over flights, she has been a bit disappointing since switching to the larger obstacles and may prove more effective in handicap company. Lieutenant Highway was over 20 lengths behind the selection at Ballinrobe but with a swing in the weights, he should get a bit closer now.

It's hard to look beyond HERCULE DU SEUIL, who went one better than on his chase debut when scoring in good style at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago. A dual winner of graded race over hurdles, he remains open to improvement in this sphere. Roseys Hollow gets the nod for forecast purposes ahead of Lieutenant Highway, who didn't shape badly when fourth in the Ballinrobe maiden chase won by Hercule Du Seuil on his first start over the larger obstacles.

17:13 Roscommon Handicap Chase 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Sharing the same name as the local hotel, THE ABBEY would be a popular winner of this feature contest. The 10-year-old has shown remarkable improvement in recent starts, winning easily at Downpatrick and Limerick respectively. Despite a 20lb rise, the Yeats gelding still looks well treated on a mark of 117 and with Danny Gilligan again on board, he looks the one to beat. Gordon Elliott trains the selection and is also represented by top-weight Hurricane Georgie. She won the Midlands National at Kilbeggan last season and can make an impact here. Henry de Bromhead is also double handed, with Champagne Gold and Popong his representatives. The latter, who filled the runner-up spot 12 months ago, is given second preference, fitted with cheekpieces for the first time. Stealthy Tom has won three of his last five and is a leading contender with Mark McDonagh aboard, while Snugsborough Hall (third last year) and 14-time winner Go Another One are others that warrant respect.

THE ABBEY arrives on the up and still looks weighted to complete a hat-trick despite being hiked up 11 lb for his most recent Limerick success. Go Another One is feared most on the back of his Cartmel victory, with veteran Pakens Rock another to consider now he is back on track.

The 8yo CHAMPAGNE GOLD can find this easier than contesting competitive handicaps at the Cheltenham/Punchestown festivals.

Denis Hogan has his string in fine form at present and the Co Tipperary trainer is double handed here, saddling both AKAABIR and General Idea. A Godolphin cast-off, the former ran a nice race on debut over flights at Listowel last week and finished just two and a half lengths behind the 121-rated Morning Soldier. The Dark Angel gelding should come on plenty for that experience and can be expected to go a lot closer now. In truth, this is a weak contest and newcomer Drombana Boy won't have to be anything out of the ordinary to get involved. By Walk In The Park, the Enda Bolger-trained bay is out of a half-sister to the brilliant Synchronised, winner of the 2012 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Gordon Elliott's Knocknacree is out of three-time track winner Layla Joan, who Elliott also trained. Second of seven on his most recent start at Perth, it'll come as no surprise if he manages to go a place better now. Twice placed last year, Mr Globalist is another leading contender on his debut for Shay Slevin, while Mercury Mission and Boots And Jeans are others who warrant respect.

A thin maiden hurdle that can see Gordon Elliott enjoy yet another winner, courtesy of KNOCKNACREE, who ran well at Perth. Blenheim Belle and Boots And Jeans are put up for the places.

Perth second Knocknacree might want further; so too might AKAABIR but it was a promising start over hurdles from him at Listowel

Fresh from a double at Bangor on Saturday, 'Shark' Hanlon might be able to strike here with GRIZABELLA. A winner on the level last summer, she ran a fine race to finish fourth on just her second start in handicap company at Wexford and she is fitted with a hood for the first time now. Trying to second guess Charles Byrnes is a futile exercise and so it's difficult to know what to expect from Redwood Queen. She stayed on strongly to finish third under tender handling on debut for the highly controversial Limerick handler at Punchestown last month. Macs Lady also ran a cracker on debut for a new outfit at Limerick. Now in the care of Shane Ryder, she ultimately couldn't hold off the progressive Bal Kauto, and had to settle for second after attempting to make all. Taylor Three Rock successfully made every inch of the running at Listowel recently and she is sure to have plenty of supporters, while others for the shortlist in this competitive affair are Up And Out, Skip Mahler and Atlantic Wonder.

This looks a hot race for the grade with several potential improvers. None more so than REDWOOD QUEEN, who caught the eye in no uncertain terms at Punchestown 3 weeks ago. Grizabella should have more to offer as a hurdler given her Flat ability, with Atlantic Wonder completing the shortlist.

Punchestown eyecatcher Redwood Queen may well be overbet and ATLANTIC WONDER has been shaping like he has one of these in him

18:48 Roscommon Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EDGE OF MY SEAT made the frame a couple of times on the Flat last year and has twice run well over hurdles at this venue. Keen when sixth at Tipperary last month, the fitting of a hood may help her to settle and an in-form claimer rides. Runner-up at Naas and third at Wexford, Only One Plan is handicapped to win one of these and is likely to contend again. Be My Hero ran his best race so far when second at Wexford and hasn't been with Gordon Elliott all that long so may be capable of further improvement. A winner over 1m4f at Dundalk last year, The Virginian shaped well after a lay-off when fifth at Punchestown and represents a yard which enjoyed a double on Saturday.

PRESENTING LAD won this contest last season and signalled a return to form at Punchestown last time. He gets the nod. Be My Hero and Only One Plan head the list of dangers.

None of these are overly convincing but BE MY HERO hasn't been with Gordon Elliott all that long and seems to be finding his level.

CAMINO ROCK was third of 25 in a competitive handicap over this trip at the Punchestown festival. He's the only maiden in the field but a reproduction of that latest run will see him take a bit of beating. Pink In The Park was Grade 1-placed at Fairyhouse in April but, nonetheless, the handicapper is happy to place her on a mark of 121. Not fluent when landing a Cork maiden last time, she still has room for improvement in her jumping but good ground suits and she may build on that victory during the summer. Late developer Lucid Dreams only began racing this year and readily won a Ballinrobe maiden last month. The eight-year-old is capable of further progress over this longer trip.

The step up in trip should suit Gordon Elliott's Ballinrobe debut scorer JAY JAY ZEE who can make the most of the weight he receives from Pink In The Park in a tight rated novice.

The suggestion is the unexposed LUCID DREAMS, who clocked a decent time when winning at Ballinrobe. Pink In The Park is next best.

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

THE BIG CHAP has been consistent and progressive since sent handicapping last summer and has two good-ground wins on the board. He was a fine third over this trip in a similar grade of handicap at Killarney last month and Paul Flynn engages a useful claimer to take 7lb off his back. Gallant John Joe has often been highly tried in his career and has to be accorded plenty of respect at this level of competition. There was little wrong with his second to an improving type on his most recent hurdles starts at Punchestown in February and he was placed over fences at that venue's festival meeting. Digby has been off since tipping up at the Galway festival but won a big-field novice handicap at Fairyhouse earlier last year and merits respect despite his long lay-off.

VOLANTIS built on his encouraging hurdles debut when landing a Fairyhouse maiden in February and, with the likelihood of better to come now moving back up in trip for this handicap debut, he could be the answer. The Big Chap is a much-respected main danger with conditions in his favour, while Rebel Rose will be a threat if fit enough to do herself justice following a 9-month absence and Digby is also worth a second look.

Consistent and progressive, THE BIG CHAP (nap) looks the way to go but Gallant John Joe and the long-absent Digby are feared

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

Derek O'Connor is a significant booking for ALLY KAZOO and Sam Curling's newcomer is taken to score on debut. The homebred son of El Kabeir, unsold at last year's Derby Sale, is from a family of bumper winners including smart jumpers Threeunderthrufive and Benruben. Fellow debutant Ayiko, a half-brother to a bumper winner out of a mare who is related to bumper winners, made 55,000 Euros at the Land Rover Sale. He represents a yard with a good record in this category. Midfield in a valuable sales bumper at the Punchestown festival, Weseekherthere had creditable runs in maiden hurdles either side of that and is now tried in headgear. She looks to have the best claims of those that have run.

Gordon Elliott's WESEEKHERTHERE has shown a fair level of ability in a bumper/2 hurdles and is the percentage call, although a strong market move for newcomers such as Ayiko, Charlie's Dilemma and/or Ally Kazoo would put a slightly different slant on things.

Ayiko looks a likely type but ALLY KAZOO has a nice pedigree and Derek O'Connor is 6-40 for the yard in the last five years.

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.
