LTO Selection:

12:35 Thurles Maiden Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JIGORO should prove hard to beat here on his chase debut. The French-bred had some smart novice hurdle form before struggling in handicap company on his final two starts of last term. After winning on his second outing at Navan, he was runner-up in Grade 2 company the following month in Punchestown and, like a lot of the yard's horses, will have been bought with chasing in mind. Caesar Rock has the chase experience in the book and he's the obvious danger. Drumgill was progressive over hurdles and is another to note on his chase debut.

JIGORO acquitted himself well in useful company over hurdles and has been found a good opportunity to make a winning start over the larger obstacles here. Caesar Rock is the obvious danger.

CAESAR ROCK is a longstanding maiden over fences but he won't find a better opportunity to get off the mark in this sphere

LTO Selection:

13:05 Thurles Handicap Chase 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BALTINGLASS HILL has run well on his two outings over fences and has a nice weight in this, with Tiernan Power Roche taking off 7lb. The Cable Bay gelding was fourth in a competitive enough contest at Sligo last time and remains on the same mark of 93. Must Be Dreaming won well on her penultimate outing at Tramore before finding Grade 3 company too hot in Punchestown. She has a shout here if on a going day. Someone's Wish didn't run too badly over timber at Navan the other day and his chase form is stronger. He's another for the shortlist.

SOMEONE'S WISH couldn't capitalise on a lower mark over hurdles at Navan on Sunday but he'd been in good form over fences so remains of interest back in this sphere. Andyourbirdcansing and Baltinglass Hill head the dangers.

The unexposed SOMEONE'S WISH has looked promising in three chase starts so far and he's unexposed

Modest placed form over hurdles in August but no progression since; hard to fancy here.
LTO Selection:

13:35 Thurles Maiden Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Just four line up and, realistically, it looks between two. MINELLA SIXO ran into a good horse in Potters Charm at Cheltenham last month and can pick up the winning thread again. The Shantou gelding was no match for Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge then, but that was no disgrace as the winner has gone on to post an impressive Grade 2 win since. Mister Pink is two from four after his bumper and maiden hurdle wins and looks the obvious danger. He was a good winner at Punchestown last month, but needs to step forward from that. Of the two mares, Born Bright may be the one for third.

MINELLA SIXO found plenty of improvement when runner-up at Cheltenham last month and should be suited by this longer trip. He can bag his second victory over hurdles. Punchestown winner Mister Pink remains low mileage and is the obvious danger.

Mister Pink commands respect but MINELLA SIXO (nap) bumped into a smart horse at Cheltenham last month and his form is standout

LTO Selection:

14:05 Thurles Maiden Hurdle 23f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Getting the weight allowance here for being a non-winner may prove the difference for GROOVEYKINDOFLOVE. The Muhtathir mare has been knocking on the door with three runner-up efforts and hasn't done a lot wrong in her last couple of outings. Going a bit further now may help her. Fillusin has also been hitting the crossbar. She is a bumper winner and, as a result, has to give the selection 8lb. Reina Del Mar stayed on well from the last when runner-up on her hurdling debut at Cork and may confirm that form with fourth-placed Meet My Loreley. Joseph O'Brien's charge is entitled to improve a bit up in trip.

There was plenty to like about REINA DEL MAR's opening second at Cork and she can improve past Henry de Bromhead's Grooveykindoflove. Meet My Loreley wasn't too far behind the selection at Cork and is next on the list.

A chance is taken on REINA DEL MAR, who made an encouraging start to hurdling at Cork last month and is a potential improver up in trip

LTO Selection:

14:40 Thurles Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WARM IN GOREY made an eyecatching return to hurdling in Punchestown, making up plenty of ground to stay on into second over a similar trip. Trainer Philip Rothwell and jockey Tiernan Power Roche are in a rich vein of form this month. Gordon Elliott's Boston Rover has faced difficult tasks in maiden hurdles, but is one who could have a say on handicap debut. Delias Pet has had a busy November, with victories over flights in Fairyhouse and Gowran Park before a third place off her revised mark at Punchestown, so she has to come under consideration. Make Sunshine and Stowaway Lass are others eyeing prize money.

MAKE SUNSHINE chased home a promising one at Naas and makes a fair bit of appeal now handicapping. Boston Rover could also have more to offer on his handicap debut. Pipers Meadow is another to consider, while last year's winner Ragin Cajun could revive.

Gordon Elliott's BOSTON ROVER was a big eyecatcher at Down Royal latest and Jack Kennedy is aboard for his handicap debut

LTO Selection:

15:14 Thurles Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ARTHUR'S VICTORY came home fourth in a higher grade at Punchestown last week, which ought to bring her into contention for this handicap hurdle. San Aer would prefer more cut in the ground, but has been in decent form on the Flat and could show up well. It is a long time since Willywampus has been seen over flights but his chasing form merits respect, although the concern is that he certainly appears to prefer fences. Marlpark has to bounce back from being pulled up at Gowran Park, but he did win on his penultimate start in Clonmel. Perhaps the ground caught Romella out when she weakened out of contention at Limerick on Tuesday. Better ground will help, but she may be best watched.

A pretty moderate handicap and it could be worth chancing WILLYWAMPUS who won a handicap chase here in December and returns from a lower hurdles mark. Romella could bounce back and take a hand, while Arthur's Victory is another to consider.

This can go the way of ROMELLA who has been knocking on the door again in recent starts and is still very well treated

15:44 Thurles Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JARRIVE DE MEE is likely to be an above-average recruit for Willie Mullins. He won his point-to-point at Curraghmore in April and the horse he beat into second has since landed an auction maiden hurdle on racecourse debut at Bellewstown. Jacob's Ladder switches to hurdling after winning his bumper in Down Royal at the start of the month. He is sure to be well schooled for this assignment. Beauforts Storm outran her odds when keeping on for second in a maiden hurdle at Naas and that was a marked improvement on previous performances in this sphere. Therellbguddaysyet was placed in a bumper over further at Listowel in June, so is worth a market check.

JACOB'S LADDER and Jarrive de Mee are good jumps prospects for top yards, and with race-fitness on his side, Gordon Elliott's charge can make a successful start in this sphere. Beauforts Storm has place claims again.

JACOB'S LADDER impressed when landing a Down Royal bumper on his return and could be an exciting prospect over hurdles

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.
