LTO Selection:

16:45 Roscommon Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PROFIT REFUSED ran a big race on her debut at Limerick last month and looks the one to beat here now with normal improvement. The Profitable filly looked a touch unlucky that day having been carried left a couple of times in the closing stages. She was less than a length off Snellen at the line that day and obviously the form received a significant boost with the winner scoring at Royal Ascot. Absolute Advantage shaped with promise when a staying on sixth on his debut at the Curragh and could be a potential improver in the field. Zona Verde has been placed twice from three runs and is another for the shortlist.

PROFIT REFUSED sets the standard and is open to improvement, so she's preferred to Absolute Advantage, who also arrives on the back of an encouraging debut. Naisun is a notable newcomer.

On the back of a very promising debut run at Limerick, PROFIT REFUSED gets a confident vote

LTO Selection:

17:20 Roscommon Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The 84-rated GYPSY WOMAN sets a decent standard here and can get off the mark. The Cotai Glory filly has been placed in two starts this season, most recently when a close third to Bella Blue Eyes in a strong contest at Leopardstown. A repeat should be enough to get her head in front now. Alessia Fernanda improved on her second run when third to Satin in Listowel a month ago and she looks the danger. Danvers Gold shaped with plenty of promise when third on her debut last year but needs to step up on her comeback effort at the Curragh. She could be place material.

GYPSY WOMAN holds the edge on the form of her very good Leopardstown third so is fancied to get off the mark for her in-form handler. Danvers Gold rates a big threat if building on her Curragh seventh after an absence. Alessia Fernanda and Roman Moon appeal as the pick of the remainder and can fight it out for minor honours.

This is about as far as she probably wants but her recent Leopardstown third makes GYPSY WOMAN (nap) a strong favourite here

LTO Selection:

17:50 Roscommon Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An open looking contest and course and distance winner SWISS ARMY OFFICER may be able to strike again at the track. Kevin Coleman's charge won here in May and has run well off higher marks on his last couple of outings. He remains on 54 having been a solid enough fifth at Down Royal last time. Designer Cailin has been knocking on the door and was fourth on her last visit here. She looks another leading contender. Emorcee is on the same mark as when a close fourth at Limerick last time and the three-year-old is one of the lesser exposed runners. He has to be respected.

The one who appeals most is EMORCEE, who shaped well in the first-time blinkers when fourth at Limerick last month and, with just five runs under his belt, he may well have more to offer. I Know I Can is still winless following 24 attempts but his recent Down Royal effort was pretty solid and he will be in the mix if the addition of cheekpieces help eke out a little more. Designer Cailin is also shortlisted and Asisaid would be in with a shout if able to bounce back.

A few have chances on flashes of form this season but SWISS ARMY OFFICER earns plenty of brownie points for his consistency.

LTO Selection:

18:20 Roscommon Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KRATOS ran well for a long way at Down Royal last time and there looks to be a race in him off this kind of mark. The Equiano gelding stuck on well enough having been headed a furlong out last time and wasn't beaten far in fourth. He has slipped a nice bit from a career high mark of 79 and was eased another pound after that run. Blue Peak won over course and distance here in May and but didn't appear to get home over further at Leopardstown last time. She commands respect. Snowdonia Song has been knocking on the door and could pick up prize-money again.

The vote goes to HELL LEFT LOOSE, who has performed well on the back of similar breaks in the past and he resumes on an attractive mark. Kratos brings one of the more solid recent pieces of form to the table by virtue of his creditable fourth at Down Royal recently and he is also lurking on a dangerous mark. Morning Approach is another who has been given a helping hand by the assessor and she is third choice ahead of Blue Peak and Crystal Pool.

The suggestion is KRATOS, a former winner for Roger Varian who ran his best race for this yard at Down Royal 11 days ago.

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

A tricky looking contest and BLAZING SUNSET may be worth another shot despite a slightly disappointing effort last time. The Bated Breath gelding went to post an odds-on shot to follow up on his Sligo maiden victory in a Fairyhouse handicap last month. He didn't really settle up at a mile-and-a-half then and flattened out late on to finish fourth to Dubawi Spectre. He drops back in trip now and connections also fit blinkers for the first time. Dubawi Spectre has made little impression in the Ulster Derby since and is also now tried in blinkers. Picture Of A City was a good winner at Down Royal last time but has to defy a 10lb hike. Joseph O'Brien won a good handicap the other day with a maiden in The Franchise and top-weight Ikigai Star has to be respected in this after a couple of nice placed runs.

PICTURE OF A CITY is going the right way and is taken to add to his recent success at Down Royal. Eastern Legend should give another good account and Immutable is worthy of respect.

Joseph O'Brien hasn't held back in sending IKIGAI STAR into handicaps, and it was a decent maiden in which he was third last time.

LTO Selection:

19:20 Roscommon Handicap 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KODIAC PRINCE bids for a quick hat-trick here after a cosy success at the Curragh on Friday night. The six-year-old followed up his Gowran win with a convincing success at HQ over nine furlongs and is in the form of his life. A 7lb penalty may not be enough to stop him going in again. Persian Queen landed a touch on her penultimate start at Cork and this track may suit better than Sligo where she finished fifth last time. The handicapper has eased her 2lb since that run. Hazy Mehmory ran on well when a close fifth at Down Royal recently and looks like another for the shortlist here.

KODIAC PRINCE arrives at the top of his game and a 7 lb penalty for his big-field Curragh success might not be enough to prevent him from completing a quick hat-trick. Sir Antonino is weighted to have a say and needs considering in refitted blinkers. Hazy Mehmory can't be ruled out for her in-form stable, while the returning Knocklane Lass is another to factor in if there is a market move in her favour.

Preference is for SIR ANTONINO, who is a strong contender on his penultimate effort. Kodiac Prince is the standout threat.

LTO Selection:

19:50 Roscommon Listed 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Irish Leger entry ESPIONAGE is a fascinating runner here with Ryan Moore travelling to Roscommon for the ride on the son of Galileo. He was a big eye-catcher on his debut at Galway last year, when running on well to finish second to stablemate Alexandroupolis and duly went on to land his maiden at the Curragh, beating a now former Ballydoyle colt in Sierra Blanca. That winner was Group 3 placed subsequently before beating Sprewell in a hot Naas maiden. The form looks very strong and it would be no surprise if Espionage proved a class act here despite a bit of belated comeback. Kingswood could be the danger after a big run to finish third in the Gallinule Stakes at the Curragh in late May. Jackfinbar is the unknown quantity on his first outing for Willie Mullins. The Whipper gelding hasn't been seen since July 2019 but was a Group 3 winner in France for Harry Dunlop. It will be interesting to see how much ability he retains.

ESPIONAGE improved with each run as a 2-y-o, just touched off in the Criterium International at Saint-Cloud when last seen 8 months ago, so he's the obvious choice down in grade. Kingswood is open to further progress and looks the main danger, although another solid showing from Serious Challenge looks assured.

Espionage commands the utmost respect but a chance is taken on ANGELS WRATH, who is bang in form and trying a new trip.

LTO Selection:

20:20 Roscommon Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The 84-rated IMPERO has run well on his last couple of outings and looks capable of winning a maiden of this standard. The Zoffany gelding stayed on well when chasing home Merlin Giant at Down Royal last time and a similar effort may be enough now. There are some smart jumping sorts in this, presumably tuning up with Galway around the corner. The versatile Ash Tree Meadow was narrowly denied on his last outing over timber at Punchestown and has to be respected. Filey Bay hasn't been seen since finished a good third in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham and is another that has to be considered.

FILEY BAY quickly made up into a smart hurdler for Emmet Mullins last season and this strong-traveller appeals as the sort to do well in this sphere so can make a winning Flat debut. Buddy One is another who brings very good hurdling form to the table and is next on the list with Gordon Elliott's pair Glan and Ash Tree Meadow also in the mix starting out in this code with useful hurdling form to their names.

A strong challenge from the NH sphere with FILEY BAY looking a likely winner

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.
