13:55 Thurles Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WALK WITH PAUL was Listed-placed over hurdles and has run well in two beginners chases todate. She hasn't run since Christmas - when she finished third to Marine Nationale at Leopardstown, but may have been put away for a summer's campaign and while heavy ground isn't ideal, has form on soft. Something Abouther might also prefer a sounder surface and while her jumping was novicey when falling on chase debut last month, might benefit from that experience although needs to improve a little on hurdles' form to win. Ladybank dead-heated with Princess Zoe in her maiden hurdle win but was nine lengths behind the selection last April and disappointed (when meeting some traffic) in a first-time tongue-tie last February. Je T'ai Porte ran ok in a recent beginners chase but would ideally prefer better than heavy ground.

JE T'AI PORTE got back on track and was much better than the bare result when third in a novice at Leopardstown recently so, if strong in the betting, she's likely to get the better of Walk With Paul in a race that the pair are likely to dominate. Something Abouther could feature if she can match the pick of her hurdling efforts.

This represents an easier task for WALK WITH PAUL after several demanding assignments including over hurdles last season

14:30 Thurles Maiden Chase 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MISTER POLICEMAN carried a big home reputation earlier this season and while his initial chase runs were underwhelming, won in style at Punchestown last month. He is well suited by conditions and could well progress further. Lucid Dreams bounced back to form when finished second to Ash Tree Meadow in the recent Webster Cup. He received some weight from that Galway Plate-winner and third-placed Journey With Me at Navan but it was a smart effort. Well suited by heavy ground, he might ideally prefer a fraction further. Stablemate Mount Frisco is a thoroughly progressive five-year-old who ran well in a recent Listed chase but steps up markedly in grade. Irish Blaze is held by the selection on Punchestown form while Senecia was closely matched with Lucid Dreams earlier this season but has lost his way. Thecompanysergeant was disputing the lead when falling at the last in a recent beginners' chase but faces a tougher task.

MISTER POLICEMAN got right back on the up with an authoritative performance at Punchestown last month and, open to further improvement as a chaser, he's fancied to take this step up in grade in his stride. Lucid Dreams is feared most ahead of Thecompanysergeant.

MISTER POLICEMAN is on an upward trajectory after an impressive Punchestown win and he could be hard to beat with further progress

15:05 Thurles Handicap Chase 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MIGHTY OAK LAD was pulled up at Fairyhouse in January but had a veterinary excuse and is reasonably unexposed on chase debut. He landed a gamble to win on New Year's Day and having pulled up subsequently, was reported to have 'lost his left fore shoe and had a small abrasion on his left hind fetlock'. He could prove to be better than his 101 rating and is suited by testing ground. Pana To Milan has recently found form and is clearly suited by this course. She is 8lb higher than her February course chase win but should still compete. Veteran novice chaser Mick Charlie is well suited by heavy ground but is 8lb higher than when winning at Clonmel while Lake Chad has been running well but competes from 5lb higher than his hurdles' rating. Western Comandor debuts for a new yard on reappearance while first reserve Added Bonus is a dual course winner.

PANA TO MILAN and Mick Charlie are both chasing hat-tricks and are likely to fight out the finish. Marginal preference is for the former, who evidently likes it here and she may have more to offer over fences. Friends N Commerce is third choice, while Paddys Planet should be all the better for his reappearance spin at Punchestown (first run for 21 months) and is also shortlisted.

Two hat-trick seekers here. Pana To Milan bids for a course hat-trick but MICK CHARLIE was good value for his win last time

15:40 Thurles Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ANSWERING is a nine-year-old and 13-race-maiden but has shown good recent form. He chased home Cheltenham runner-up Jimmy Du Seuil in January and replicated that form when finishing second to useful Chosen Witness over course and distance recently. Ballycallan King finished 14 lengths behind the selection in that recent course race and should struggle to turn placing despite being 2lb better off. An Peann Dearg has shown nice ability in two smart maiden hurdles this winter and while well held in both, drops to a lesser race and can get involved. Gabriel Ranger was in contention when falling here in February but was well held at Leopardstown recently while Took Khov ran well in a recent course maiden and drops in distance. Hurdling debutante On The Steel showed ability on bumper debut last September and can improve from a recent reappearance run.

ANSWERING arrives on the up over hurdles so is fancied to go one better than when a very good runner-up here last time out and get off the mark. Ballycallan King rates a big threat on form and is next on the list, although both An Peann Dearg and Targa Flavio need factoring in too.

This looks like a good opportunity for ANSWERING to step up after two seconds, including one behind a horse who ran well at Cheltenham.

16:15 Thurles Conditions Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Last year's winner SUMMERVILLE BOY has been holding form despite being a 12 year old. Winner of the 2018 Supreme Novices Hurdle, he has done well in heavy-ground staying hurdles in recent times and a reproduction of his Galmoy Hurdle runner-up effort to Monkfish would give him every chance. In-form Shannon Royale should be well suited by stepping up to this distance for the first time and ran well in first-time blinkers in a February handicap. Ballybawn Belter finished 25 lengths ahead of the selection at Naas last November but had race-fitness on her side then, is 7lb worse off and was well held in a recent Listed hurdle. Lightly-raced Western Walk is a capable good-ground stayer who returns from a long layoff and might have spring festivals as a longer-term plan. Hope may be the best of things for Andy Dufresne as he tries three-miles for the first time while Longhouse Poet has lost his way and sports cheekpieces.

SUMMERVILLE BOY was a decisive all-the-way winner of this race on his sole previous visit here 12 months ago and, having lost little caste in defeat in a Grade 2 contest at Gowran last time, he is taken to repeat the dose. The Very Man should come on for his reappearance spin in a big-field Leopardstown handicap and is second choice ahead of Western Walk, who is returning from an 11-month absence but remains with potential.

This looks like a good opportunity for \SUMMERVILLE BOY (nap)\p to get his head back in front after some solid runs at Graded level

16:50 Thurles Handicap Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

LOUGH NIGARA ran well on handicap debut and might turn Punchestown placings with No Fussing and win. He showed ability over two miles in maiden hurdles and, in January, progressed well to finish third to Buachaillbocht, which won again subsequently. He was beaten five lengths by No Fussing then but appears open to more progression and is 3lb better off. No Fussing herself ran well subsequently before pulling up recently. Staying-chaser Temptationinmilan has yet to win from 12 hurdle runs but is rated 15lb lower in this sphere and is suited by this distance. Sally Attwell failed to win a point-to-point but ran well on handicap debut last month and is proven on heavy ground. Dual bumper winner Chance The Robin ran well enough in a recent Leopardstown handicap and can progress while Givehimthehonour runs in first-time cheekpieces and has been running well recently.

The suggestion is TEMPTATIONINMILAN who is well treated judged on chase form, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Solly Attwell shaped well on his handicap debut at Fairyhouse and is second choice ahead of Paul Nolan's Givehimthehonour. Lough Nigara is another who could have a part to play in what looks a competitive affair.

Slight preference is for SOLLY ATTWELL who slotted into handicap company well with a second placing at Fairyhouse

17:25 Thurles NH Flat Race 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Capable COLCANNON was terribly unlucky to be disqualified from a recent race and should take beating. He showed promise on debut at Naas and having subsequently passed the post nine-lengths ahead of the promoted winner at Punchestown, lost the race as his rider weighed-in 1.3lb light. Harry's Dream ran well on debut at Gowran but finished 21 lengths behind the selection in the Punchestown race and will struggle to turn form. Nicely flat-bred Lady Of The Locke was a E45,000 Orby yearling purchase so makes a somewhat belated debut on heavy ground while John Gleeson rides The Lookout Man, which is a half-brother to Grade 2 bumper winner Getaway Katie Mai. Mr Macallum's unraced dam is a half-sister to smart Scotsirish while Leloopa descends from the good 'Shuil' family.

COLCANNON was subsequently disqualified (rider weighed in 1.3 lb light) after running out an impressive winner at Punchestown last month and can quickly make amends. Harry's Dream is worth another chance to confirm debut promise so is feared most.

It's hard to get away from COLCANNON who was disqualified at Punchestown last time; he'll be hard to beat if he's back at that level

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.
