13:33 Thurles Maiden Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ZANAHIYR couldn't live with the winner of a Leopardstown beginners' chase, but the form got a boost when the horse that beat him followed up in a Grade 1 match race at the Dublin Racing Festival. There was promise in Zanahiyr's runner-up berth in that chasing debut and he had plenty of ability over flights as evidenced by being placed in a Champion Hurdle a couple of years ago. Aspire Tower's third place on chasing bow at this track in November reads well after the winner's recent exploits in Grade 1 company at Leopardstown. Feu Du Bresil looks the pick of Willie Mullins' pair and had Pinkerton a place behind him when runner-up at Fairyhouse in November. Mighty Tom has been highly tried in his first two starts over fences, but clearly has ability. He would prefer better ground, though.

It remains to be seen if ASPIRE TOWER will be able to scale similar heights to those which he reached over hurdles a few years back, but there were certainly positives to take from his chase debut third behind the smart Il Etait Temps here at the end of November. He shades preference ahead of Pinkerton, who was behind Feu du Bresil at Fairyhouse but he remains with potential and may well reverse those placings here. Zanahiyr has to enter calculations, too, along with Mighty Tom.

ZANAHIYR is a high-class hurdler and, while he was well beaten by Fact To File on chasing debut, there is no rival of that calibre here

14:03 Thurles Handicap Chase 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

THEDANCINGFARRIER put in a much-improved effort when runner-up over further in Cork and is taken to build upon that. He just lost out by half a length after a protracted battle in that beginners' chase and should be more than competitive off a mark of 90 with Liam Quinlan's claim factored in. Top-weight Mcgrath From Clune was a five-length winner when last seen in this sphere over an extended 2m2f here in November. He hasn't been quite as good over flights since, but ought to go well despite a 10lb rise in the weights. Prince Of Air hasn't been running badly in finishing fourth in his last three outings and is certainly in the mix for prize money. Itsalonglongroad handled attritional ground when making all on his penultimate start in Tramore while Port Rashid and Huit Reflets are capable of performing better.

THEDANCINGFARRIER signalled he's ready to end a lengthy losing run when a good second at Cork last time out and holds much the best form on show so gets the vote. Course winner McGrath From Clune rates the main danger to the selection, with last year's victor Added Bonus appealing as the pick of the rest.

THEDANCINGFARRIER(nap) was fourth to Added Bonus in this last year and ran his best race for a while at Cork last time.

14:33 Thurles Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The 114-rated CLONSHIRE RIVER has to be respected in this company. He actually moved into a threatening position in the straight in a much better race at Leopardstown over Christmas before weakening out of contention before the final flight. His back form also reads well in the context of this race. Glendine Billy's fourth place in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel is one of the more meaningful pieces of form on offer. That run can be seen in a better light after the horse a place in front of him came out and finished second in a Punchestown maiden hurdle. On Your Way made some late progress for sixth on debut at Limerick and could get closer in this field.

CLONSHIRE RIVER made a pleasing return in a deep Leopardstown handicap over Christmas and can land this weak maiden. Glendine Billy and Stagecoach Mary are feared.

This looks like a weak race, and \CLONSHIRE RIVER\p will be hard to beat if producing a display in keeping with his 114 official rating.

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

KINGS HILL was an eye-catcher when keeping on for fourth in a massive field at Leopardstown over Christmas. The winner of that race is very well regarded, so to finish just over three lengths behind him could prove to be more than decent form. Muhtaluza is in good hands and is highly likely to improve upon a sixth place on debut at Punchestown. Cappucino has been placed in three bumpers and a maiden hurdle, and should be well involved, while point-to-point winner Littlebiggie has finished runner-up in a bumper and a maiden hurdle albeit beaten a fair way in both. Newcomer Snugsborough Chime was very cheaply bought, but is a brother to a horse that has won twice over hurdles in Britain. The ground would be a concern for Tipperary bumper winner Crooked Tannie.

KINGS HILL was much improved when fourth at Leopardstown 7 weeks ago and the Supreme entry is hard to get away from here. Cappucino and Littlebiggie are feared.

The one to beat is Cheltenham entry KINGS HILL after an excellent run in a good Leopardstown maiden hurdle

15:43 Thurles Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ST CUTHBERT'S CAVE returned lame so had valid excuses for his December pulled up run and contests a weak maiden. A Kelso bumper winner in May prior to selling for 150,000 pounds, he ran very well when conceding 8lb and finishing third to two capable types at Fairyhouse subsequently. Reported to be 'lame on the off hind and to have a superficial wound on the off fore pastern' at Clonmel, he should concede weight and win. Our Boy Rocky showed promise at Limerick over Christmas and might finish second. Debut point-to-point winner Roxhill Roise was well beaten in a recent maiden hurdle but had previously shown bumper form while stablemate Hollow Rodger steps up from winning an ordinary mares maiden point-to-point last month. Toor Khov disappointed in a Leopardstown Christmas bumper but had previously been placed in three bumpers.

A thin maiden and a good chance for ST CUTHBERT'S CAVE to open his account over hurdles if all is well. Our Boy Rocky is feared most ahead of point-winner Hollow Rodger.

The one to beat looks like ST CUTHBERT'S CAVE whose last run can be forgiven. He made a good debut at Fairyhouse in November

16:15 Thurles Handicap Hurdle 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TOOR MOON is a 16-race maiden but has found his level in handicaps in recent times. Proven on testing ground and at similar distances, he is race-fit and finished ahead of subsequent winner Buachaillbocht at Tramore last month. Lily's Choice ran ok when well beaten into third at Fairyhouse last month and has claims racing from 1lb lower and, notably, under a 7lb claimer. 10-year-old mare Seangoell has been well beaten twice this term but has claims on her best from from last season. Another Nightmare won in September but pulled up recently while Rising Dust has some bits of form. One And Only has been well beaten in all his runs but showed some promise at Down Royal in December and steps up in distance on handicap debut. Similarly Brogue Man River steps up markedly in distance having shown little in four previous hurdle runs at two miles. Point-to-point winner Colline Fleurie has yet to show hurdles form.

TOOR MOON hasn't looked the most straightforward, but he ran up to his best when runner-up at Tramore on New Year's Day and a reproduction of that form could be enough to see him get off the mark. Lily's Choice ran well back in this sphere at Fairyhouse recently and needs considering, along with Brogue Man River, who could improve now upped appreciably in distance.

About as weak a handicap hurdle as you will find. TOOR MOON has had a lot of opportunities but this may be his best yet

16:48 Thurles NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NED IN THE PARK is a distant relative to his owner's smart Mallowney and ran well on Fairyhouse debut. That form was boosted by the winner scoring (and indeed selling for 510,000 euros) subsequently, while more experienced placed-horses had prior form. Willie Mullins runs three, with Coco Masterpiece being interesting despite reappearing following an alarming 666 days absence. A debut point-to-point winner, he chased home a subsequent UK hurdle winner at Loughanmore subsequently, when conceding 5lb, and while he contests this less fashionable bumper, notably reappears in a bumper aged seven, with hurdling being put to one side for now. Ballygunner Castle - related to Yorkhill, Risk Of Thunder and The Listener, is ridden by an experienced UK-based rider while another debutant stablemate Fishery Lane was a 67,000-euro store purchase and is closely related to French winners, although today's jockey didn't ride last year. Le Grand Peinture ran well during Christmas but needs to improve to win.

This seems almost certain to go to one of the Willie Mullins' trio, with 7-y-o COCO MASTERPIECE preferred to Ballygunner Castle and Fishery Lane before market clues. Ned In The Park shaped well first time up at Fairyhouse and is the clear pick of those with bumper form.

COCO MASTERPIECE has taken time to get to the racecourse but represents leading owners and can beat his two stablemates.

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.
