LTO Selection:

14:10 Sligo Conditions Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Bumper and hurdles winner DE LADY IN RED is from a family which includes some useful chasers and she may be able to score at the first time of asking over fences. Her unplaced run at the Galway Festival will at least have advanced her fitness and she had a good hurdles run on testing ground last year. Natural Look was set to win on her second chase start when coming down at the final fence at Kilbeggan. If none the worse for that tumble, she should contend but her best form has been on decent ground. Shesadream achieved the highest hurdles rating of any of these and is from the family of smart chaser Peregrine Run. She has never run on anything other than good ground, though, and underfoot conditions will be very different here.

NATURAL LOOK seemed sure to win had he not come down at the last in a novice chase at Kilbeggan recently and, provided he's none the worse for that, she should be capable of making amends. Hope Des Blins should find this a bit easier than the race she was third in at Killarney last time, so she's considered a threat along with Shesadream, a notable chasing debutant.

There are winning chasers in the pedigree of DE LADY IN RED who should handle testing ground; she can make a winning start over fences

LTO Selection:

14:45 Sligo Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Eight-year-old LUCID DREAMS, whose dam is a half-sister to smart staying chasers Monkerhostin and Eric's Charm, only began his career in March and has already recorded three wins over hurdles. The form of his latest victory at Killarney was boosted by the runner-up at Listowel and John Ryan's charge is unlikely to be troubled by the drop back from 2m7f. Danny Mullins is an interesting booking for three-time hurdles winner Plains Indian. The Shantou gelding made a bad mistake when sixth on chasing debut at Downpatrick and, with a better round of jumping, may be able to turn around the form of that contest with third home Weddell Sea. Ahead Of The Posse was second over hurdles at the Galway festival and made a fair start over fences when third in a novice contest at Tramore.

LUCID DREAMS is a useful and reliable hurdler who is fancied to make a successful start over fences if his jumping is sound. Wedell Sea and Plains Indian are both likely to improve from their chasing debuts, so they should pose a threat to the selection.

Unraced until March this year, LUCID DREAMS has won three races over hurdles and has achieved a rating that suggests he can win here

LTO Selection:

15:20 Sligo Handicap Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LOOK DONT TOUCH is still searching for a first win of any description after beginning his career two and a half years ago but there have been encouraging signs of late. Runner-up in two of his last three starts over fences, he was narrowly beaten in a bunched finish on handicap debut at Wexford and stepping back up in trip should suit. He ran quite well on soft ground when making the frame over hurdles a couple of times last winter. Tempo Chapter Two has plenty of weight to carry on handicap debut but could outclass these rivals if jumping adequately. The top-weight, who ran respectably in last year's County Hurdle and has won on soft, has shaped reasonably well in three beginners' chases. Clever Currency bumped into an improver when second over hurdles at Down Royal last time and has some fair handicap chase form to his name.

LOOK DONT TOUCH has been in good order recently and he's fancied to go one better than when runner-up at Wexford 47 days ago. Clever Currency and Berliet Express could emerge as the main dangers.

Based on hurdles form, there must be a good chance that CLEVER CURRENCY can improve on his early-season chase form

Placed in three of his five starts over hurdles, finished second in a point-to-point.
LTO Selection:

15:55 Sligo Maiden Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Rachael Blackmore ventures north west for just one ride and POTTERS PARTY, who was expensive to follow over hurdles, can make her journey worthwhile. The Mahler gelding, fitted with a tongue-tie for this chasing debut, was a beaten favourite in all bar one of his five starts in maiden hurdles last term but was second to a decent horse in his only point-to-point and going back over the larger obstacles may see him in a better light. Hard Rain was an easy winner over hurdles at Limerick during the summer and has plenty of experience over fences. The eight-year-old has made the frame in three handicap chases and only found one too good at Killarney last month. Point-to-point winner Jenny Flex, a half-sister to smart chasing mare Scarlet And Dove, was disappointing over hurdles but showed more on chase debut when second at Downpatrick. The winner was lowly rated but Jack Kennedy's mount should be better for the experience.

POTTERS PARTY is the type to make a better chaser than hurdler and he's marginally preferred to fellow chasing debutant Deons Diamond, who is unexposed. Hard Rain is the pick of those with experience in this sphere.

Though expensive to follow over hurdles, POTTERS PARTY is tipped in the hope that the switch to chasing will do the trick

LTO Selection:

16:30 Sligo Handicap Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Having run her best race to date when runner-up at Wexford last time, PEPPEROCCO can get off the mark at the 15th attempt. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained mare kept on from two out in a manner that suggested she should appreciate stepping back up in trip here. Relatively lightly raced over fences, the six-year-old has scope for further improvement. Agirlcalledchloe, who has been largely consistent in recent starts, shouldn't be too far away. The daughter of Notnowcato has been running well enough to suggest she can get her head in front in one of these. Top-weight Room To Roam is another that wouldn't have to improve a great deal in order to make his presence felt in what is a moderate content. The John McConnell-trained gelding shaped well when fourth on his most recent outing at Downpatrick.

PEPPEROCCO has been given a chance by the handicapper and returned to form when runner-up at Wexford earlier this month. She gets the nod. Agirlcalledchloe and Out The Gap should also go well.

A second placing at Wexford at the beginning of the month suggests that PEPPEROCCO does not need to improve much in order to win here

LTO Selection:

17:05 Sligo Conditions Chase 21f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MR SAXOBEAT has a bit to find with the two horses above him on official ratings but the Thomas Gibney-trained gelding comes into the race in much better form that either of those. The seven-year-old won at Clonmel in June and has since finished runner-up twice. In between those second placings, he suffered an early fall at Galway but appears none the worse for that experience. Fighter Allen is arguably the best horse in this small field but the Willie Mullins-trained eight-year-old hasn't been in the greatest form of late. While he can be forgiven a moderate run, on testing ground, at Tramore last time, it is harder to overlook his earlier efforts. Course and distance winner The Little Yank makes a quick return after finishing sixth over hurdles at Listowel on Saturday.

This can go to LIEUTENANT HIGHWAY, who won convincingly at Roscommon in June before finding the company too hot at Galway. Fighter Allen has an unconvincing profile but will be dangerous if bringing his A game.

Ground concerns regarding Mr Saxobeat result in slight preference for the similarly-rated THE LITTLE YANK who likes it here

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

CATHYS QUEST is an interesting debutant over fences having bolted up over hurdles on her most recent start at Kilbeggan. The Terence O'Brien-trained mare led after halfway in that contest, stretching clear of her rivals well before the second last. If in anywhere near that same form, the six-year-old could prove very hard to beat. He Fitz In was no match for Cathy's Quest on that occasion, well beaten back in fourth. However, the Davy Fitzgerald-trained gelding franked the form when scoring narrowly at Navan on his next outing. Having already been given a handicap mark over fences, the seven-year-old is much better off with his Kilbeggan conqueror here but still faces a stiff task. Course and distance winner Father Jed remains of interest having won at Ballinrobe earlier in the campaign.

CATHYS QUEST responded well to score over hurdles at Kilbeggan recently and, if she takes to chasing at the first attempt, she should be able to supplement that success in what appears a weak race on paper. He Fitz In, also a winner over hurdles last time, is respected for all that his record over the larger obstacles isn't particularly convincing.

An emphatic handicap hurdle winner at Kilbeggan CATHYS QUEST (nap) can be fancied to make an immediate impact over fences

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.

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.
