LTO Selection:

13:40 Wexford Maiden Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CINSA should prove very hard to beat as she takes a massive drop in class. The French import has been campaigned at the highest level since joining Willie Mullins, finishing a creditable seventh in the Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham. Back in against her own sex for the first time since finishing fourth to Lossiemouth on debut at Auteuil last year, she gets a weight allowance on account of her age. Artemis Angel is given second preference. A half-sister to Journey With Me and eight-time winner Yorkist, she has some decent form to her name and finished seventh to Marine Nationale on her most recent start at Punchestown in October. Point-to-point winner Young Darleen should be able to make her presence felt, while Another Bonnie and Matilda Park are others with place claims.

An excellent opportunity for CINSA, who's down appreciably in grade having contested Grade 1s on all her 3 starts for Willie Mullins. Artemis Angel and Alo's Vision are a couple with place claims.

Having acquitted herself respectably in three Grade 1s this year, CINSA will find this far easier and should get off the mark.

Well below best in three starts since last win, so looks risky at present.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Wexford Handicap Hurdle 20f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A competitive contest, with recent winners Good As Hell, Hot As Pepper and Presenting Doyen all leading contenders. For a selection, it might be worth taking a chance on BUTTONS AND BOWS, who will appreciate the drying ground. A dual course winner, she failed to make an impact on her return to action at Kilbeggan last month, but fitted with blinkers for the first time now, a much improved performance can be expected. Fruit Blossom has been knocking on the door of late and is given second preference in first-time cheekpieces. A dual winner for Willie Mullins, Gelee Blanche is an interesting contender on her debut for Barry Fitzgerald, while North Of Nashville and Knocknagappagh are others to consider in this competitive affair.

There wasn't much between PRESENTING DOYEN and Fruit Blossom when first and second at Kilbeggan last month with the lesser-exposed Presenting Doyen taken to come out on top again. Recent chase-winner Good As Hell is potentially on a good mark back over hurdles and is another to consider.

FRUIT BLOSSOM can take revenge on her Kilbeggan conqueror Presenting Doyen with a 3lb pull in the weights and cheekpieces on.

LTO Selection:

14:50 Wexford Handicap Hurdle 17f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TENNESSEE TITAN has been knocking on the door of late and would be a deserving winner for local trainer Seamus Neville. Second on his penultimate start here in March, the Fame And Glory bay finished third of 17 on his most recent outing at Cork. Philip Rothwell is responsible for Only One Plan and Prince Of Air and they both look to have strong claims. The former went down by just half a length in an 18-runner contest at Naas in March and had a subsequent winner a place behind him in third. Paul Nolan, who does well with his runners at Wexford, is represented by handicap debutant Doyen For A Drink. While she hasn't shown much to date, it would come as little surprise if she ran well here. Miss Us O is best watched on her return from a break, while the well-bred Bite That is capable of making his presence felt.

TENNESSEE TITAN ran well enough when third in a big field at Cork last time to think he has a race in him from this sort of mark. Only One Plan is respected on the back of a good second at Naas last time, while Doyen For A Drink and Gigantamax Eevee rate potential improvers now moving into handicap company.

TENNESSEE TITAN has hit a vein of form and coming back in trip after a fine run over 3m last time can see him get off the mark.

Form last winter overall disappointing; readily opposable on return from 4 month's break.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Wexford Handicap Hurdle 24f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BELLA BLISS was strong over 3m when delivering at Down Royal and has prospects of following up. She appreciates better ground and isn't on a bad mark at all. In addition, Ben Harvey takes 5lb off her back. Ceroc took the step up in trip to 2m4f at Cork in his stride and has to be considered over this further trip. Ladiam could make no impression on the winner over an extended 3m at Tipperary, but did finish second. That was her first crack at that sort of trip. There is another race in Tangental who has been a beaten favourite in second at both Thurles and Naas, however, he would appreciate some rain and it isn't in the forecast. Elle Dorado Rock isn't out of it off a light weight.

TANGENTAL appears handily weighted on the back of his good Naas second so looks the way to go in an open handicap. Elle Dorado Rock is feared most back in this sphere with more to offer, while Down Royal scorer Bella Bliss is also in the picture.

Quite competitive but BELLA BLISS (nap) is taken to defy top-weight under Ben Harvey

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

Stuart Crawford has high hopes for THE FLIER BEGLER after he got off the mark in a beginners' chase at Down Royal. He had posted some solid efforts across all codes prior to that breakthrough success and could be the type to build upon it. Uncle Phil makes his chasing debut for Willie Mullins having won a bumper and a maiden hurdle. He has to be respected. Senecia is another recent chase winner at Ballinrobe. He overturned an odds-on favourite that day and adds plenty to this deep race. Galore Desassences has banked three hurdle races and a bumper. He has been mixing in very good company over flights and has to rate a danger on just his second chase start. The Banger Doyle won over fences in Tipperary and there should be more to come from him.

UNCLE PHIL promises to do a lot better over fences if he can settle better and he's taken to make a winning start in this sphere. There is more to come from Senecia and he's the clear danger.

Having impressed on his chasing debut at Ballinrobe SENECIA is taken to follow up in what could be a strongly-run race which would suit

LTO Selection:

16:35 Wexford Handicap Chase 25f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HARDY BLOKE kept on for fourth in a higher grade at Down Royal which gives him claims. He made all to win a novice hurdle on his sole previous visit to Wexford. Conor Clarke claims 7lb off him again. Walking The Walk posted a runner-up finish over a staying trip at Downpatrick on his last start. He is more than capable of having a big say and has actually been placed on all three outings over fences at this track. Ben Harvey gets the leg up on him for the first time. Hascoeur Clermont is one to keep an eye on in the market coming off a break. He met some very decent sorts in races last year. Trickey Trix's form is in and out, but she has shown that she can pop up at a price.

Though HARDY BLOKE has yet to match his hurdles form in this sphere, there were positives to glean from his latest effort at Down Royal and he could be the answer, granted a clean round of jumping. Walking The Walk was a good second on his recent return from a break at Downpatrick and he looks dangerous. Goodnightngodbless also enters calculations, along with probable improver Hascoeur Clermont.

Having travelled like a winner WALKING THE WALK was effectively outstayed by Ocean Legacy at Downpatrick but could now take revenge

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

Even by his own standards, Willie Mullins is having a sensational month. It wouldn't be the least bit surprising to see Walk In The Park filly Cool Park make a winning start to her career. That said, there are plenty of horses with form in this race. One of them is certainly RHAENYRA. Colm Murphy's filly put in an excellent effort when coming home a clear second in a Grade 3 mares' bumper at Punchestown last month. Little Soiree was a close second in a pair of bumpers for Mullins and has switched to Paul Nolan. She has John Gleeson's assistance. Familiar Dreams was runner-up in Listed class at Limerick before being a beaten favourite in second at Cork. Oneforthefairgreen wasn't beaten far into third at Kilbeggan last month.

RHAENYRA improved markedly from her debut when runner-up in a competitive affair at Punchestown last time and she's fancied to go one better despite the presence of Cool Park, a notable debutant for a top yard. Little Soiree is the best of the remainder.

Second in a Grade 3 at Punchestown last month gives RHAENYRA the form edge here

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.
