13:35 Roscommon Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ATA RANGI was coming back from nearly four months off when fifth at Killarney a week ago and, with that run under his belt, he can strike here for Henry de Bromhead and Billy Lee. The Decorated Knight gelding also ran creditably over a mile a couple of times earlier in the season and is proven on soft ground. Silent Guardian was first home in a barrier trial before being placed over a mile at Cork. He didn't see out 1m2f at the Curragh last time and will be racing on easy ground for the first time. Thequietman was second to a smart horse on his debut over a mile at Leopardstown but has twice disappointed at short prices since.

A low-grade maiden, and THEQUIETMAN stands out on his debut form, though he's been below that level twice since. Silent Guardian is next best, ahead of Ata Rangi.

In such a weak maiden another chance is given to THEQUIETMAN who ran such a promising race on his Leopardstown debut.

MERISI DIAMOND and Mercurial pulled well clear of the rest of the field when fighting out the finish in a C&D contest on heavy ground last month and the former may confirm the form. Joanna Morgan's powerfully-built five-year-old didn't run badly off his revised mark at the Curragh and has scope for further progress. Following his narrow defeat here, Mercurial was held in two outings at Chester on successive days in mid-September but is 10lb better off at the weights with the selection which gives him strong claims on paper. Trip and ground are right for Dragon Of Malta who went close at Listowel last time while Current Option has come down to an attractive mark and drops in grade.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap and CURRENT OPTION gets the nod. While his recent form figures are not as appealing as those possessed by some of these, the 8-y-o is now 2 lb below the mark off which he hit the target at Fairyhouse during the summer and this track should suit him. Goldrush Kid and Dragon of Malta are next on the list (in order of preference), while Mercurial is in with a shout, along with Blue Soul and unexposed maiden winner Una Matata also needs a second look.

Second when attempting to repeat last year's Listowel festival handicap win, DRAGON OF MALTA has sound prospects of going one better

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

Recent Bellewstown winner PRIVATE OFFICER can follow up off just 4lb higher. The Johnny Levins-trained three-year-old did very well to win, as he was short of room at a critical point in the race. Staying on strongly once in the clear, the U S Navy Flag gelding should be capable of defying his rise. With the form of her two most recent starts having been boosted in the interim, Lisabetta is a definite contender. Tim Doyle's mare has never won off a mark this high but Wayne Hassett is able to claim a valuable 5lb. Curragh fourth Nibras Rainbow didn't enjoy the run of the race on that occasion, so is another with a strong chance.

LITTLE KEILEE is in better heart than her form figures suggest and the application of blinkers may be just what she needs to regain the winning thread. Private Officer was better than ever when successful last time so she has to be feared, along with Pandion Power.

When scoring at Bellewstown PRIVATE OFFICER had to wait to get into the clear and may confirm form with Guest Star and others

Given the manner in which he bolted up at Thurles on Thursday, SKONTONOVSKI is hard to oppose. Clearly well handicapped relative to his all-weather form, the Ado McGuinness-trained gelding travelled strongly before quickening clear of his rivals. Under a mandatory 7lb penalty, the son of Harbour Watch should make it back-to-back wins. Superior Council ran very well when third over an inadequate trip at Navan last time. Back over 7f on easier ground, the Johnny Levins-trained gelding should be competitive. Dual winner Wrist Art should find this easier having shaped with promise in slightly higher grades recently. Tim Doyle's gelding should be helped by his riders claim.

SKONTONOVSKI had plenty to spare at Thurles last Thursday and a 7 lb penalty may not stop him if in similar form. Superior Council is another who arrives on the back of a good run last week, while the booking of Colin Keane suggests that Lauroline might be primed to go well back from 3 months off.

It is hard to look beyond SKONTONOVSKI (nap) who routed his rivals at Thurles last week and is below his AW rating even with 7lb extra.

15:35 Roscommon Maiden 10f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

With an official rating of 81, NEWTOWN DUKE should be able to register a first win. The Dermot Weld-trained colt finished runner-up on his racecourse debut at Limerick in July, before running third at Galway the following month. Although a beaten favourite at Leopardstown when last seen, the son of Lope De Vega deserves another chance. Gavin Cromwell's Babich rates the main threat to the selection. Having just lost out by a head on his debut, the gelding ran respectably in a decent sales race before disappointing at Ballinrobe last time. Former bumper winner Mazyad ran well enough when runner-up on the Flat at Galway to suggest he can also be involved in this open contest.

Another chance is given to NEWTOWN DUKE with a tongue tie added. Babich could provide the main threat if bouncing back to the level of his debut second. Mazyad is also respected but this shorter trip isn't sure to see him in his best light.

Slight preference is for NEWTOWN DUKE who needs to recapture the form of his first two runs following a tame effort at Leopardstown

Despite being unable to complete the hat-trick at Listowel last month, KILLEANEY BEAR can resume winning ways. Hampered by a loose horse on that occasion, the Andrew Slattery-trained gelding is readily forgiven that effort. A game winner of his previous two runs, this small field should suit his prominent racing style. Himalayan Heights had been very consistent prior to opening his account at Tipperary in May. Although well beaten in a premier handicap at the Curragh last time, the colt raced keenly through that race. Hello Neighbour looked a potentially exciting prospect when making a winning debut at Navan. While the drop in trip raises concerns, he could have the class to overcome those doubts.

HELLO NEIGHBOUR has had the form of his Navan maiden win boosted and is selected to make it 2-2, perhaps at the main expense of Himalayan Heights.

It was over 1m6f that HELLO NEIGHBOUR made a winning start at Navan but he didn't look short of speed and he's clearly promising.

16:45 Roscommon Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TOTAL LOOK hasn't been seen since May but could be suited by this distance. Proven on soft ground, he won on good over today's course in May and with the runner-up (receiving 5lb) scoring subsequently and now being rated 75, that suggests the selection is well-in. Last week's Killarney winner Cast A Spell is just 2lb higher than when finishing second on handicap debut here last month and is also suited by soft ground, so she should compete. Palo Duro ran well at this distance at Galway last month, having previously been outpaced over a mile at that course's summer festival. However, he is 6lb higher and does not have a claiming rider aboard today. Prairie Angel won well at Bellewstown but is 7lb higher.

If PALO DURO backs up his latest, improved effort at Galway he could be the answer to this well-contested handicap. Indeed, he was denied a clear run in that Galway race, one which he may well have won but for encountering traffic problems. Prairie Angel did the job well at Bellewstown recently and merits a good deal of respect, despite going up 7 lb, while Napper Tandy has claims off a workable mark. The unexposed Total Look and You Owe Me Money are others to consider.

On another day PALO DURO might well have prevailed last time at Galway and that was his first attempt at this trip.

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

BEAUTIFUL CHAOS has won just once from 23 runs but is ideally suited by conditions and this is a winnable handicap. Winner of a Killarney maiden in October 2022, she has run some solid races in defeat in the interim and, having performed well under today's same 10lb claimer at Bellewstown 12 days ago, should be competitive. Bayou Belle has been running consistently well over hurdles recently and while she too has Flat form on soft, is nonetheless a 31-race maiden. Status Green has winning soft-ground form and while he was well held over today's course-and-distance in August, had previously run well over a similar distance at Ballinrobe in June.

BILLIE FRECHETTE shaped better than the bare result when unsuited by the slow pace at Cork last time and could be the answer with a stronger gallop more likely here. Imperial Miss and Beautiful Chaos head the dangers.

There could be a big run in IMPERIAL MISS who hinted at better to come over C&D before running on well over shorter on the AW.

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.
