LTO Selection:

14:10 Roscommon Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JHENTONG ENKI is from a classy French family and the son of Buck's Boum impressed when winning a point-to-point for Colin Bowe at Kirkistown in the spring. The runner-up on that occasion was a creditable fourth in a Galway festival bumper. Paul Nolan's new recruit can make a winning start under Rules. The Lovely Man had Yeats Star back in fourth when a remote second at Wexford. He should be all the better for that run after his summer break and went close in a big-field maiden at Naas in March. Upthereforthinking, fourth in a bumper at this venue on debut, ran a nice race on hurdling debut at Bellewstown and has place prospects.

THE LOVELY MAN had no chance with the well-ridden winner at Wexford on return to action at the beginning of the month and is fancied to run much closer to form in a conventional race this time. Jhentong Enki was an easy winner on his point debut so has to be feared, with Yeats Star another to consider.

The Lovely Man sets a good standard. He has nothing to fear on form from Yeats Star. JHENTONG ENKI looks potentially high-class

LTO Selection:

14:45 Roscommon Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PIDOYNE was in good form on soft ground in the spring when two seconds preceded a victory at Tramore. A blunder two out harmed his chance when last seen at Tipperary in May and he may be able to resume progress despite an absence since then. Mr Mac Phisto was second at Cork in July before going one better at Navan earlier this month. A 5lb hike looks fair but testing ground would be a concern if the predicted rain arrives before this meeting. Chapel Street made the breakthrough over 2m4f at Wexford in June and was placed at the same venue next time when dropping back in trip. There could be a bit more to come from the Scorpion gelding.

STAR OFFICIAL is well handicapped on his runner-up at Limerick in July and given it's easy to excuse a lesser effort at Wexford since, he looks the way to go. Mr Macphisto was better than ever when winning last week so has to be feared, with Pidoyne another to consider.

Mr Macphisto looks a rock-solid each-way player now. A chance is taken on PARK OF KINGS, who could be far better than this mark

LTO Selection:

15:20 Roscommon Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

IRISKANA, who finished runner-up either side of a below par effort at Wexford, should be good enough to win a race of this nature. The Sam Curling-trained mare was only just denied on her most recent start and should appreciate the extra furlong here. It would be no surprise to see the daughter of No Risk At All gain a first career success. Lucky Viv is another coming into this race in good form having also occupied the runner-up spot last time out. Michael Barry's five-year-old is certainly capable of making her presence felt. Idol, a bumper winner at this track on her only appearance to date, is interesting on her first start since leaving Willie Mullins. Something has clearly been amiss as she hasn't been seen since August 2022 but the ability is certainly there.

LUCKY VIV is going the right way over hurdles and a repeat of the level she displayed when a close second ar Tramore last time may well suffice. Iriskana is the main threat on form, though Champersinthepark may well have won a point had she stood up back in February.

Preference is for IRISKANA who went close behind a useful gelding at Kilbeggan earlier this month; Champersinthepark is one to note

LTO Selection:

15:55 Roscommon Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

READ TO RETURN had caught the eye on a few occasions under both codes prior to finishing second over fences at Tramore in April. The Tony Martin-trained gelding has not been seen since but has won off a break in the past so fitness is unlikely to be an issue. He is coming into this a fresh horse so has to be a contender. Hand Over Fist, a winner at this track last time, deserves plenty of respect in his hat-trick bid. The Henry De Bromhead-trained gelding is a lightly raced individual who could still be ahead of the handicapper. Fill The Tank was runner-up to the aforementioned horse here last time so should be competitive at these revised weights. Trainer Aengus King had a winner at Listowel in mid week so his string couldn't be in better order at present.

This step up in trip could be just the ticket for READ TO RETURN, who was runner-up in a maiden chase at Tramore in April and is on a fair-looking mark now making his handicap debut back over hurdles. Hand Over Fist and Fill The Tank, first and second respectively here last month, should both be involved in the finish once again, while Good World is also shortlisted.

A trappy staying race. FILL THE TANK is back in form and likes Roscommon, as does the thriving Hand Over Fist. Benkei is noted

Fair hurdler was third on recent chase debut in mares' beginners; looks outclassed.

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

The Willie Mullins-trained HERCULE DU SEUIL stands out in this company. A winner of a similar race at the Galway festival last month, the six-year-old looks a cut above your typical novice chaser at this stage of the season. It would be a major surprise if the JP McManus-owned gelding doesn't complete a four-timer. Solness, who has twice finished runner-up to Hercule Du Seuil this term could be set to do so for a third successive time. The Joseph O'Brien-trained five-year-old is clearly a decent horse but has been unfortunate to bump into an above average performer in the son of Saddler Maker. Calico, who made a winning debut over fences at Galway earlier this month, has to be a contender given his four-year-old weight allowance.

HERCULE DU SEUIL hasn't looked back since sent over fences and can rattle off his four-timer here at the chief expense of Galway-scorer Calico, who also has better days ahead of her. Solness also has the form to play a part in this intriguing Grade 3 chase.

Really testing ground would be a worry for HERCULE DU SEUIL but he's hard to oppose and can once again prove too strong for Solness

17:05 Roscommon Handicap Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Course and distance winner NORWIGI should appreciate this easier task having finished second in a higher grade at Galway last time. Prior to that run, the JP McManus owned mare had won her previous two starts. Downtown Queen went close at Wexford on her penultimate start before making the breakthrough at that same venue last time. The Henry De Bromhead stable have been in excellent form in recent days, so a big run from the six-year-old looks in the offing. Menindee who won either side of a bad run is harder to quantify but if the David Christie-trained mare is on a going day then she is certainly good enough to add to her four career wins to date. Darragh O'Keeffe, who has been in the saddle for the last two of those, retains the partnership here.

DOWNTOWN QUEEN showed herself to be better than ever when going in at Wexford and a 7 lb weight rise doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from following up. Bonnie Kellie is feared most if, as expected, bouncing back from her final-fence exit at Punchestown, with C&D winner Norwigi also firmly in the picture.

This race was probably one that LIZRONA's connections had in mind and the ground has come right; she can defy an absence

GLENS LULLABY, a half-sister to a bumper winner for Jonjo O'Neill, catches the eye on her racecourse debut. Out of Grade 1 winning mare, Glens Melody, she could hardly have a better pedigree. John Gleeson is a positive jockey booking for the Peter Fahey-trained filly. D'jo Dela Barriere shaped with some promise on his initial outing when fifth at Killarney in May. Trainer Sam Curling does well with his bumper horses so the gelding should be noted in the market. Fleur In The Park, a half-brother to a black type horse in France, is an interesting contender for Andrew Slattery. The Tipperary man does exceptionally well with the few horses he runs in this category.

GLENS LULLABY is related to a bumper winner and hails from a shrewd operation, so she's worth chancing to make a winning start if the market speaks in her favour. Fellow newcomer Fleur In The Park is a danger and Prove Yourself is the clear pick of those with experience.

The Killarney fifth of D'JO DELA BARRIERE (nap) is arguably stronger form than the more recent Ballinrobe third of Prove Yourself

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.
