LTO Selection:

14:15 Sligo Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 4/1 (9) THUNDER DANCE and 1.38/1 (6) AUSSIE GIRL seem to be the most promising. 4/1 (9) THUNDER DANCE had a promising debut and is open to improvement, while 1.38/1 (6) AUSSIE GIRL finished fourth in a handicap race and is expected to do well with headgear retained. 10/1 (5) UN BACIO ANCORA has been in good form but remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 16/1 (2) ELDA and 18/1 (1) AT LONG LAST have also shown some potential in their debut races. The rest of the horses seem to have long odds and are not expected to perform well.

AUSSIE GIRL could take advantage of stall one in this sprint. The form of her third place at Dundalk in November is more than decent and, since then, she has handled rain-softened ground in finishing fourth at the Curragh and Cork. The drop back in trip at this sharp track should suit as she tends to race prominently. Thunder Dance attracted support before her debut third in Cork. There was a lot to like about that effort and improvement should be forthcoming. Hasiyna was only 5/1 for her debut in a Curragh maiden in the autumn. She finished in rear of mid-division, but could be a different proposition after a winter's development. Un Bacio Ancora has extensive experience and ran well in second at Bath this month. The drop in trip could help Yuzu.

AUSSIE GIRL possesses much the best form on show on the back of her very good Cork handicap fourth so looks the way to go reverted to maiden company. Cork third Thunder Dance looks to have better days ahead of her and is next on the list ahead of Dundalk debut sixth Run For You.

Maybe the drop in trip will be okay for the well-drawn AUSSIE GIRL who travelled well for a long way over 7f at Cork

LTO Selection:

14:45 Sligo Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

0.91/1 (4) SEMBLANCE OF ORDER may do well as the summary highlights that it has good speed and performed well in its recent race, running on to get third place. It also mentions that it is difficult to oppose, which indicates that it has a strong chance of winning. 5/1 (6) LOVE MOCHA and 9/1 (5) BRASILIAN PRINCESS are also mentioned as respected and definite contenders, respectively, but 0.91/1 (4) SEMBLANCE OF ORDER has the strongest indication of doing well in the race.

Andy Oliver won this race last year and has prospects with the 81-rated SEMBLANCE OF ORDER. This Buratino three-year-old has been in good form this season in coming home second at Cork and then a close third at Gowran Park in a head-bobbing finish. he has been racing prominently which will help on this drop in trip. Arniemac has switched to Joseph O'Brien after a never nearer fourth on debut at Naas in November. He has a lovely low draw to work from, so a big run could be on the cards. Love Mocha attempted to make all in Bellewstown, but didn't appear to get home over the extended 7f on heavy ground. This shorter trip could help her cause. Brasilian Princess has been placed three times on the Polytrack in Dundalk. She has still to prove her fondness for cut in the ground, though.

SEMBLANCE OF ORDER ran well at Gowran recently and looks to have found a good opportunity to belatedly open his account. Arniemac is open to improvement and could pose the main threat.

The experienced SEMBLANCE OF ORDER should have the pace for this shorter trip and gets the nod ahead of the less exposed Love Mocha

LTO Selection:

15:20 Sligo Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Based on the summary, 4/1 (3) CELTIC MANOR appears to be the most likely to do well, as they have won first time out in the past, won at the same course and distance previously, and have a good chance on form. Other horses to consider are 5/1 (2) AURORA NOVA, 6.5/1 (10) SILVER NEMO, and 7/1 (13) SIN E SHEKELLS, who have all shown creditable performances recently despite not winning.

CELTIC MANOR could repeat his victory of last year in this race. He has been off since placed efforts at this track and in Fairyhouse last summer, but has gone well fresh before and his new stable will doubtless have him primed for this. Sin E Shekells finished third in a big-field apprentice-handicap at Navan and Oisin Enright is now able to use his full 10lb claim. The pair have bagged the best draw in stall one. Silver Nemo has had a good stint on the Polytrack in Dundalk, but has form on slower ground in Britain. He was last seen finishing a close third at Dundalk before Christmas. Siobhan Rutledge knows him well and takes a handy 5lb off his back. Aurora Nova has a tough draw, but could come home better than most. Sense Of Security's form is on better ground.

CELTIC MANOR did well in a handful of runs last season, including when making a winning return in this race, and is taken to do the same starting out for a new yard. Silver Nemo and Sin E Shekells head the dangers.

The easy ground will suit CELTIC MANOR who won a division of this first time out last year; note Silver Nemo and Sin E Shekells

LTO Selection:

15:55 Sligo Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

2.75/1 (12) SENADO SQUARE is the most likely to do well based on the fact that he had five of his rivals behind him in his last race and is well worth another chance. He also has a previous win at Naas and has performed well on heavy ground. 4.5/1 (8) REDSHORE CITY and 6.5/1 (5) LITTLE KEILEE are also strong contenders based on their recent performances and suitability for the distance. 11/1 (11) AMERICAN IN PARIS has also shown a recent improvement in form and could be in the mix, while 12/1 (4) LISIEUX and 16/1 (1) DISTILLATE will need to bounce back from recent below-par performances. The remaining horses have limited appeal or need to improve significantly to be in contention.

There were excuses for SENADO SQUARE's below-par run at the Curragh and he is worth another chance. He was trainer Andrew Slattery's first winner of the turf season in Naas last month when winning comfortably by two lengths. He will relish cut in the ground. Redshore City was fourth to Senado Square in Naas and could have more to offer on only his third start on turf. Lisieux finished behind Senado Square in sixth at Naas, but she is coming down the weights and Adam Caffrey's 7lb claim is more than useful. Little Keilee was only beaten a pair of necks into third when last seen at Dundalk. She is unproven on the ground, but certainly has a chance at the weights.

SENADO SQUARE looked on the up when a ready scorer at Naas and is well worth forgiving his subsequent effort at the Curragh given he reportedly banged his head in the stalls. Recent Dundalk scorer American In Paris heads the list of dangers ahead of in-form pair Little Keilee and Redshore City.

Having had a legitimate excuse for his no-show at the Curragh, the powerfully-built Naas winner SENADO SQUARE can resume progress

LTO Selection:

16:25 Sligo Handicap 13f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

3.33/1 (9) ELLE DORADO ROCK rates as a major player off a 4lb higher mark and his recent form suggests he should be taken seriously. 3.5/1 (6) KALMIRA also has good recent form and is a player despite a 6lb hike in the weights. 4/1 (4) GRAPPA NONINO has potential and is returning to the flat after a respectable performance in a juvenile hurdle at Ascot. 7/1 (7) WILD SHOT and 10/1 (10) LARIAT have modest recent form and are unlikely to feature, while 14/1 (11) LISSADELL, 16/1 (2) ROCK ON PEDRO, 16/1 (15) DER MC, 18/1 (1) FIVE ZEROS, 18/1 (16) LEX MAXIMA, 18/1 (17) DOLLAR VALUE, 20/1 (5) JOMONT, 20/1 (8) NOSTRA CASA, 22/1 (14) NO HASSLE, 28/1 (13) MYTHICAL TIMES, 33/1 (12) DIXON LINE, and 40/1 (3) KEEP SHARP are all viewed as less appealing options.

ELLE DORADO ROCK showed much improved form when reverting to the Flat recently after a three-month break. The Tony Martin-trained gelding beat all bar hot favourite Striking over a similar distance at Gowran Park and a 4lb rise seems fair enough. Grappa Nonino may prove the chief threat. He showed promise on the Flat last year including when going close at the Curragh off a 3lb higher mark and was well-supported when beating Media Naranja in a Navan maiden hurdle last month. Kalmira won on the all-weather at Dundalk early last year but also handles cut in the ground and shaped well on her reappearance at Navan last month. The lightly raced mare pulled clear of the remainder when second to Black Hawk Eagle but now races off a 6lb higher rating.

GRAPPA NONINO has done quite well over hurdles since last seen in this discipline and he's on an appealing mark, so gets the nod ahead of Elle Dorado Rock, who shaped really well at Gowran last time out. Kalmira is the pick of the remainder.

Elle Dorado Rock will head the market but there may be more value to be had in GRAPPA NONINO

LTO Selection:

16:55 Sligo Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary, as there are multiple horses that are considered likely contenders. However, 5/1 (7) LA DAME BLANCHE is one to consider for the shortlist, as a return to the longer trip should suit. 9/1 (6) MARVELOSA is also of interest and could perform well at this intermediate trip. Additionally, 6/1 (9) TELLTHEMI'MHERE has recently won a handicap and could make a bold bid despite being 2lb wrong here.

LA DAME BLANCHE won a Gowran Park maiden on just her second start last year and has returned in good form this season. The Mick Mulvany-trained filly shaped well over a similar trip at Leopardstown before again making the running when third to the progressive American Sonja in a valuable handicap at Gowran with Mary Salome back in fourth. Tellthemi'mhere made a successful start for new connections when finishing well to score over a mile at Bellewstown earlier this month and now tackles this trip for the first time. Your Eyes Only won a maiden over this C&D for Willie Mullins last summer and was far from disgraced subsequently over a bit further in a handicap at the Galway Festival. Disco Boots went close here last year before scoring in good style at Roscommon while Dha Leath takes a drop in class after a creditable run in the Lincoln.

This can go to DHA LEATH, who shaped well over a shorter trip on her return at the Curragh last month. Tellthemi'mhere and La Dame Blanche rate the principal dangers.

Quite competitive, preference is for LA DAME BLANCHE, who can see this out if settling better

LTO Selection:

17:25 Sligo Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will perform well with the limited information provided. However, 2.5/1 (7) WHISKY ON THE HILL seems to have potential for improvement and has been described as a major player in the upcoming race despite being lightly-raced. 3/1 (2) NOTTURNO also has potential with the addition of blinkers and a longer trip, while 7/1 (10) MONNOW VALLEY could also be a contender if building on their recent improvement with the addition of a visor.

The 1m1f Tipperary handicap won by Apprentice ten days ago looks a key piece of form with six runners in that event renewing rivalry and perhaps TIMELESS PIECE may now come out on top. Not a lot went right for the selection on that occasion as she reared coming out of the stalls and didn't get the clearest of runs in the straight. On the bare form she's closely matched with Notturno, who now wears blinkers for the first time, and Show No Fear. The latter's inexperienced rider was suspended for mistaking the winning post and easing his mount in the final 100 yards. Monnow Valley was prominently ridden to finish third in that Tipperary race but may not be suited by this longer trip. Whisky On The Hill finished well when a close third on his handicap debut at Cork and is certainly one for the shortlist.

This can go to WHISKY ON THE HILL, who shaped better than bare result on handicap debut at Cork recently and remains low mileage. Monnow Valley and Notturno rate the principal dangers.

One who could trump them all is WHISKY ON THE HILL, who fairly flew home over this trip at Cork recently when still looking green

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.
