16:10 Roscommon Stakes 7f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Johnny Murtagh-trained THINK ABOUT IT is marginally preferred after coming from last to finish a never-nearer third on debut. The subject of good market support on that occasion, she is likely to come on plenty for the experience. Going down by just three-quarters of a length on his initial start at Gowran, Loch Tay is given second preference. Beaten by an odds-on shot at the Co Kilkenny venue, he had the reopposing Majestic Wave back in fourth. Showing inexperience when hanging off the bend entering the straight at Galway, Raven Darkholme still managed to fill the runner-up spot and she is likely to have plenty of supporters. The aforementioned Majestic Wave is progressing with each run and can't be discounted in first-time cheekpieces, while Pleasant Dawn is another capable of making her presence felt.

LOCH TAY's debut at Gowran was full of promise and he's open to improvement so, despite a 78-day break since, he's worth the chance to go one better at the likely expense of Majestic Wave, who is closely matched on form with the selection.

RAVEN DARKHOLME handled plenty of cut when second at Galway on debut and she can benefit from that experience to take this.

16:45 Roscommon Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Conditions are likely to be testing and top-weight PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM won on heavy at Gowran in May so has plenty going for him. Already successful over C&D this season, he has the plum draw on the rail and could make a winning start for new connections after being claimed when second on his latest outing. Manhattan Dandy has a good record at Roscommon and is another who will have no issue with the underfoot conditions. The Thomas Coyle-trained bay will be ridden by Keithen Kennedy, who claims a valuable 7lb. If handling conditions, Shamrock Sprig has the form to win this, while others for the shortlist are Naas runner-up Cannes Do, the Jessica Harrington-trained Dark Viper and recent Killarney victor Nibras Rainbow.

DARK VIPER is taken to deservedly get his head in front having found just one too good for the third time this season at Sligo last time. If on-song Manhattan Dandy will be a big threat and he is next on the list ahead of Shamrock Sprig. Others to consider in this competitive handicap include Cannes Do, Nibras Rainbow and Play It Again Zaam.

C&D winners on this ground, PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM and Manhattan Dandy look major players, with marginal preference for the former.

17:15 Roscommon Handicap 7f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ORANDI had no luck in running when a never-nearer third over C&D recently. Backed into favouritism on that occasion, the French import might be able to recoup losses now, with Colin Keane again on board. Connections of Mercurial have clearly been waiting for the ground to ease, with the five-year-old a non-runner three times due to the 'change in going' since his win on heavy at the Curragh in April. Still looking nicely treated on a mark of 74, the John Nallen-trained bay should give a good account of himself. Narrowly beaten into third at Gowran earlier this month, Bellaphina looks to have solid claims, while the evergreen Verhoyen, top-weight Vasda and dual winner Merisi Diamond are others to consider in a competitive heat.

The suggestion is ORANDI, who wasn't seen to best effect back from a break here a fortnight ago and it's interesting that Colin Keane takes the ride again. Verhoyen only got a small nudge for his Fairyhouse success and is is second choice ahead of April's Curragh scorer Mercurial.

Preference is for ORANDI (nap). He met trouble in running over C&D last time and if he gets a clear run today he should go very close.

17:45 Roscommon Stakes 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With the weights in his favour, the Sheila Lavery-trained VESTIGIA should take the beating. Winner of his maiden at Gowran Park in May, the three-year-old colt ran perfectly respectable when fifth in a Curragh Group 3 subsequently. Although failing to build on that effort in three runs of late, the application of first-time blinkers could prove the key. A shock 40/1 winner on her belated debut at Tipperary, the Kevin Coleman-trained Akecheta proved that run was no fluke when runner-up in a stronger contest at Gowran Park after. A daughter of Sioux Nation, her proven ability to handle testing conditions is a definite plus. Tramore winner Riviera Queen could be dangerous now that she has managed to get her head in front.

AKECHETA is going the right way and has the best form, so she can edge out Vestigia Who sports blinkers for the first time after a respectable showing at Gowran. Cancelled can also make her presence felt.

Having won her maiden on heavy ground, AKECHETA will have no issue with these conditions so can win again.

18:15 Roscommon Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Stepping back up to this trip on testing ground should finally see PSALM register a first career success. Runner-up in a juvenile maiden at the Curragh last October, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt has been a beaten favourite on each of his last three starts. With stamina likely to be at a premium here, the son of Justify should be in his element. Rosso improved on two promising efforts when second at the Curragh on his most recent outing. Having travelled into the race easily, the Camelot colt kept on well close home. The Dermot Weld-trained Strolling has shown enough in three runs to date to suggest she is capable of winning her maiden. Just denied at Tramore last month, she is of particular interest in first-time blinkers.

ROSSO has progressed with each outing and if that trend continues there's every chance he'll get off the mark. Psalm and Strolling look the obvious dangers.

Preference is for STROLLING. She ran well on heavy on debut, was narrowly denied at Tramore and the first time blinkers could be key.

18:45 Roscommon Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A beaten favourite at Naas last month, QUIZ TEST can recover losses. A combination of dropping back in trip and meeting trouble in running arguably cost the four-year-old a win on that occasion. Back over his optimum trip now, on ground he should handle, the Sean Byrne-trained gelding is entitled to go close. Sixpack finished in front of the selection when runner-up over course and distance back in May. Despite having a bit to do at these revised weights, Johnny Murtagh's gelding has won twice subsequently. Arch Enemy, who has been hindered by poor draws on recent starts, has once again been done no favours in that respect here. However, if James Ryan can get her into stride early, the mare should be finishing strongly.

Any number to consider but SCATCHWAH's promising reappearance under an inexperienced rider is still fresh in the memory and he can confirm that he's ahead of the assessor here. The return to this trip will suit Arch Enemy so she's a threat, while the market may tell a tale regarding El Regalo on handicap debut.

Preference is for NARLITA. She has C&D form, her form figures at 1m4f on soft-heavy read 122 and she shaped well at Tramore last time.

19:15 Roscommon Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Runner-up on both starts since joining present connections, OUR LIL can get her head in front for the first time. The daughter of Cable Bay gives the impression that she will be better suited to an ease in the ground, so it will be interesting to see if that brings about the desired improvement on this occasion. Maxwell Smart, who didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when third at Navan on Thursday, has to be considered. The Tom McCourt-trained gelding will need some luck from his wide draw but this looks a slightly easier race. Prairie Angel, who showed ability in three maiden runs earlier in the season, made a winning debut over hurdles last time. Joseph O'Brien's filly could be the potential improver in the line up.

OUR LIL found only one too good at Cork last time and is on the up presently, so she's fancied to go one better with Fine Print regarded as the main danger in first-time blinkers. San Land is another one to consider.

Preference is for SAXON LAND, who was only half-a-length behind Fine Print on comeback at Sligo and can turn that form around

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.
