15:37 Dundalk Handicap 12f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (3/1 +63%) Old Peculier	3 3/1(+63%)	(13) Old Peculier 3/1, Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this course (10.7f, 7/4) 30 days ago, staying on to lead well inside final 1f. Has taken well to this surface and remains of interest. Up 8lb for last month's win but entitled to head the market and one of the ones to beat.
2	9 2nd (9) (3/1 +14%) Palace Rock	3 3/1(+14%)	(9) Palace Rock 3/1, C&D winner. Bit below form fourth of 14 in handicap (11/4) at this course (16f) 3 weeks ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Expected to be bang there back down in trip. Did not seem to get home over 2m here last month; should fare better back at this trip.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/2 +75%) John Alexander	3.5 7/2(+75%)	(8) John Alexander 7/2, C&D winner. Followed a good run with a below-par one when ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 4 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track. Won this race off a 2lb higher mark last year; not consistent and enough reasons to oppose.
4	10 4th (10) (4/1 +43%) Storm Eric	4 4/1(+43%)	(10) Storm Eric 4/1, Course winner, latest in November. 11/1, went like the best horse at the weights when second of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Enters calculations. Narrowly beaten in a pair of 1m2f handicaps here before Christmas; solid claims.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 -129%) Celtic Revival	8 8/1(-129%)	(4) Celtic Revival 8/1, Five wins from 17 runs last year. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 4 weeks ago, ideally needing stronger gallop. Can give another good account. Slightly below par effort here last month but hard to see him out of the frame at his best.
6th	14 6th (14) (14/1 -27%) Hasten Slowly	14 14/1(-27%)	(14) Hasten Slowly 14/1, Course winner in December. 11/2, shaped as if still in good form when fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 23 days ago, ideally needing stronger gallop. Won over 1m2f; tries this trip for the first time and unlikely to be far away if it suits.
7th	11 7th (11) (20/1 -43%) Rockview Consort	20 20/1(-43%)	(11) Rockview Consort 20/1, Course winner. One win from 3 Flat runs last year. Had plenty on upped in grade when 9½ lengths sixth of 9 to Birdie Or Bust in listed hurdle at Thurles (15.9f, good to soft, 80/1) 26 days ago. Last run on this surface when winning a 1m2f maiden in February and runs off the same mark.
8th	1 8th (1) (50/1 -317%) Nibiru	50 50/1(-317%)	(1) Nibiru 50/1, Unreliable type. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Leopardstown (12.8f, good to firm) when last seen 4 months ago. This is his first start on all-weather for nearly 2 years so he needs to bounce back. Likely to be his prep run for the Dublin Racing Festival and probably best watched.
9th	3 9th (3) (25/1 -108%) Pachmena	25 25/1(-108%)	(3) Pachmena 25/1, Course winner. Latest win at the Curragh in October. Again well below her best when third of 14 in claimer at this C&D (4/1) 30 days ago. Decent effort in a claimer here last month; no surprise if she was in the frame.
10th	5 10th (5) (66/1 -230%) Tudor City	66 66/1(-230%)	(5) Tudor City 66/1, One win from 3 runs on Flat last year. 33/1, unable to make an impact when fourteenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good to soft) 4 months ago. Down the field in a Curragh premier handicap in September latest; probably best watched.
11th	2 11th (2) (18/1 -157%) War Correspondent	18 18/1(-157%)	(2) War Correspondent 18/1, Untrustworthy individual. 7/1, ran creditably after just 2 days off when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (16f) 6 weeks ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. A trio of solid efforts here from 1m2f to 2m before Christmas; each-way chance.
12th	7 12th (7) (33/1 +34%) Fascinating Shadow	33 33/1(+34%)	(7) Fascinating Shadow 33/1, C&D winner. 25/1, offered little back on the level when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Bellewstown (17f, good) back in August. Down in trip. Handicapper given him a squeak. Winner on this surface but showed nothing over hurdles in a light campaign last year.
13th	12 13th (12) (125/1 -150%) Indigo Desert	125 125/1(-150%)	(12) Indigo Desert 125/1, Course winner. Last of 13 in handicap at Roscommon (11.8f, good, 11/1). Best watched on first run for yard after leaving W. P. Mullins after 16 months off. Not seen since three poor runs for Willie Mullins in 2022; best watched on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

Autocrat and PACHMENA are closely matched on running behind Banana Three over C&D last month and slight preference goes to the Gavin Cromwell-trained mare. She won a lady riders' handicap over this trip at the Curragh in October and Calum Hogan looks good value for his claim in this apprentice race. Storm Eric has gained both previous wins here over seven furlongs, but looks a strong contender having finished strongly to fill the runner-up spot on his latest two starts over an extended 10 furlongs. Old Peculier was fitted with blinkers for the first time when opening his account here last month, while Palace Rock and Celtic Revival are others to consider.

Cases can be make for several but the tentative vote goes to PALACE ROCK, who has headgear on for the first time in his career and should appreciate the drop back to 1½m. Second choice is Storm Eric, who is holding his form really well (six in-frame efforts on the bounce) and looked a shade unlucky not to collect here last month. Recent course winners Old Peculier and Hasten Slowly can fight out minor honours.

Preference is for STORM ERIC, narrowly beaten twice over 1m2f before Christmas with the step up in trip likely to suit

15:37 Dundalk Handicap 12f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:10 Dundalk Handicap 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (5/4 +17%) Eddie G	1.25 5/4(+17%)	(7) Eddie G 5/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 10 in nursery at this C&D (7/4) 30 days ago. Trainer going well. Expected to be bang there. Last month's C&D third rates a major player off same mark.
2	4 2nd (4) (5/1 -25%) The Poacher Daly	5 5/1(-25%)	(4) The Poacher Daly 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 6/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut. High enough opening mark on evidence so far but still scope for improvement.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -20%) Mary Shoelaces	6 6/1(-20%)	(3) Mary Shoelaces 6/1, Ran below form when fourth of 14 in maiden at this course (5f, 13/2) 37 days ago. Good chance on previous efforts in handicap company. Below best in maiden latest but previous handicap run here brings her into the mix.
4	2 4th (2) (6/1 +0%) Bruce Lightning	6 6/1(+0%)	(2) Bruce Lightning 6/1, Followed a good run with a below-par one when eighth of 13 in maiden (16/1) at this course (7f) 30 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Needs to bounce back. Has the beating of Exceeding on 7f form here in November; drop in tip could suit too.
5th	1 5th (1) (15/2 +17%) Exceeding	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(1) Exceeding 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden who wasn't seen to best effect when seventh of 13 in a maiden at this course (7f) 30 days ago, slowly away. Into handicaps now and may fare better. Slowly away on three of 4 starts here in maidens, promise other occasion.
6th	6 6th (6) (22/1 -83%) Sovereign City	22 22/1(-83%)	(6) Sovereign City 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. First run since leaving Darren Bunyan when ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (5f, 66/1) 70 days ago, slowly away. Makes handicap debut in first-time blinkers. Bellewstown promise not built on; blinkers now tried.
7th	10 7th (10) (125/1 -279%) Sophia Klimt	125 125/1(-279%)	(10) Sophia Klimt 125/1, Down the field all 4 starts, including on handicap debut over C&D last month. Well held last month over C&D on handicap debut; 4lb wrong.
8th	9 8th (9) (40/1 +0%) Relentless Flyer	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) Relentless Flyer 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden who ran no sort of race in first-time blinkers/tongue strap on first run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when last of 10 in nursery (25/1) at this C&D 30 days ago. Yard debut over C&D last month (tongue-tied then) was poor and remains opposable.
9th	8 9th (8) (9/1 -13%) Elliott	9 9/1(-13%)	(8) Elliott 9/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in October. First run since leaving Rebecca Menzies when fifth of 6 in minor event (40/1) at this course (5f) 28 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Out of depth here last month; this more his level and tongue tie fitted.
10th	5 10th (5) (66/1 -267%) Dabirsim Flyer	66 66/1(-267%)	(5) Dabirsim Flyer 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 7 in nursery at this course (5f, 33/1) 44 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on 1st time. Has plenty to find. Headgear combination now tried and down 4lb but of limited appeal.

LTO Selection:

EDDIE G wasn't helped by anticipating the start and hitting the stalls on his handicap debut over C&D last month but still ran a cracker when third to Milliethemollie, with Sophia Klimt and Relentless Flyer well behind. The Ado McGuinness-trained colt, who previously showed promise in maidens, notably at this venue, was well backed on that occasion and losses may now be recovered. Mary Shoelaces was placed twice here behind Scorchio over the minimum trip, but may not be as effective over this extra furlong. Bruce Lightning has shown pace on his latest two starts here over seven, including when runner-up to Seti, with Exceeding back in fourth. The latter has lost his chance a few times at the start, including when getting upset in the stalls last time.

EDDIE G failed to take the anticipated step forward when third on his handicap debut over C&D last month, but he still ran well and looks the most persuasive option from the same mark. Mary Shoelaces is sure to be a big threat if bouncing straight back to form, while similar comments apply to Bruce Lightning,

A weak-looking handicap for the grade and seemingly a good opportunity for EDDIE G (nap) to recoup recent losses

16:10 Dundalk Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:45 Dundalk Handicap 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (5/1 +23%) Free Solo	5 5/1(+23%)	(7) Free Solo 5/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Respectable fourth of 12 in minor event (9/1) at this course (8f) 21 days ago. Yet to score in Ireland but respectable efforts including last twice here over 7f and 1m.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 +42%) Volatile Analyst	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(2) Volatile Analyst 7/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 3/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f) 28 days ago. Yard having good spell. Leading contender. Has won over this trip before and there could well be a handicap in him off this mark.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/2 -27%) Exquisite Acclaim	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(6) Exquisite Acclaim 7/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 8/1, bit below form sixth of 12 in minor event at this course (8f) 21 days ago. Stable having good spell. Visor back on. Respected back in a handicap. Below par over 1m latest and dropping back to this trip will help; chance from a good draw.
4	5 4th (5) (9/2 +44%) Gobi Star	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(5) Gobi Star 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 11/2, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f) 28 days ago. Merits consideration. Down 1lb and up a furlong should improve his chance; could be better drawn but has claims.
5th	11 5th (11) (12/1 -20%) Chica Power	12 12/1(-20%)	(11) Chica Power 12/1, 3-time C&D winner. Creditable second of 14 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D 30 days ago, no match for winner. This is much tougher. Back to form last twice in a claimer and a handicap; not a great draw and up 3lb.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 -220%) Prisoner's Dilemma	16 16/1(-220%)	(1) Prisoner's Dilemma 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Off 3 months, 22/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f) 28 days ago. Won this in 2022 and interesting from a good mark. Down the field over 6f here last month; coming down the handicap but best watched.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 -100%) Eighty Eight	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Eighty Eight 66/1, Eyeshields on for 1st time, first run since leaving Ross O'Sullivan when twelfth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Well held in a C&D handicap on his stable debut last month; eyeshield and tongue-tie tried.
8th	8 8th (8) (17/2 +15%) El Bello	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(8) El Bello 17/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. 11/2, respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Blinkers back on. Two good runs off his higher mark last twice but coming down 1lb might not be quite enough.
9th	4 9th (4) (11/1 +31%) Brains	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Brains 11/1, Course winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Tenth of 12 in minor event at this course (8f, 14/1) 21 days ago. Ran respectably in a 1m handicap on his stable debut; unable to repeat that last time.
10th	12 10th (12) (50/1 -100%) Wayside Lady	50 50/1(-100%)	(12) Wayside Lady 50/1, Creditable sixth of 10 in maiden at this C&D (80/1) 65 days ago. Has work to do. Decent effort over C&D latest; 1lb wrong and needs to improve but not one to be dismissed.
11th	3 11th (3) (25/1 -213%) Mulgrave	25 25/1(-213%)	(3) Mulgrave 25/1, 5-time course winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 18/1, last of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 35 days ago. Out of form of late and probably needs a bit more help from the handicapper.
12th	13 12th (13) (18/1 +10%) Western Cape	18 18/1(+10%)	(13) Western Cape 18/1, 18/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 58 days ago. Others more persuasive. No win in 14 starts; not a bad effort over C&D last time but more needed again; 1lb wrong.
13th	9 13th (9) (33/1 -175%) Coolcalmncollected	33 33/1(-175%)	(9) Coolcalmncollected 33/1, Course winner. Off 150 days. Others more persuasive. Down to a mark of 70 which gives him a real chance if returning to form but best watched.
14th	14 14th (14) (200/1 -506%) Wantoplantatree	200 200/1(-506%)	(14) Wantoplantatree 200/1, 50/1, last of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 30 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Promise for Roger Varian last year but has shown little for her current stable; 4lb wrong.

LTO Selection:

VOLATILE ANALYST won six times for Keith Dalgleish, including twice over this trip, to earn a career-high rating of 105. The gelding joined Ado McGuinness last summer and went very close to adding to that tally when just failing to peg back Cash Or Crypto on his penultimate start. He didn't enjoy a clear run last time, but still wasn't beaten far and the step up to seven should suit. Chica Power recorded her fourth C&D win in a claimer earlier this winter campaign and the front-runner beat all bar Bride Tree on her latest start. Gobi Star and El Bello both won twice over C&D in November, but have more on their plate now. Free Solo, Exquisite Acclaim and Western Cape are others to note.

2022-winner PRISONER'S DILEMMA should have come on for his return here last month and is worth chancing from a very tempting mark. Ado McGuinness might have the dangers in Exquisite Acclaim and Volatile Analyst.

The one to be on could be EXQUISITE ACCLAIM, who will also appreciate the return to this trip after disappointing over 1m last time

16:45 Dundalk Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:15 Dundalk Maiden 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (6/1 +40%) Western City	6 6/1(+40%)	(13) Western City 6/1, $75,000 yearling, Kitten's Joy colt. Brother to US Grade 2 11/2m winner Chicago Style. Dam multiple US winner (including minor stakes) at 6f-9f from a very good US family. Wears tongue strap. Brother to a 1m4f US Grade 2 winner Chicago Style, market may provide clues, tongue-tie on.
2	17 2nd (17) (22/1 +78%) Hoover Dam	22 22/1(+78%)	(17) Hoover Dam 22/1, Twice-raced colt. 125/1, sixth of 13 in minor event at this C&D 23 days ago. RESERVE. Third reserve, two respectable runs over C&D, more likely a handicap prospect in time.
3	4 3rd (4) (20/1 -67%) Currumbin	20 20/1(-67%)	(4) Currumbin 20/1, €16,000 foal, £30,000 yearling, €35,000 2-y-o, Footstepsinthesand gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 7f winner Jack Red Cloud and 2-y-o 7f winner Greenback Boogie. Half-brother to three winners at under 1m, dam 1m4f winner from a solid family.
4	9 4th (9) (9/2 +63%) Nedita	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(9) Nedita 9/2, 40/1, fifth of 13 in minor event at this course (7f) 37 days ago, not knocked about. Has shown a fair amount of promise in two outings over 7f at this venue, place chance.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/4 +44%) I Bid You Ajou	2.25 9/4(+44%)	(6) I Bid You Ajou 9/4, Twice-raced gelding. 5/1, third of 13 in maiden at this course (7f) 30 days ago. Likely to improve again so one to consider. Raced a bit keenly over 7f here last month but showed enough to suggest he can win a race.
6th	12 6th (12) (17/2 -6%) The Bear Trap	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(12) The Bear Trap 17/2, Unreliable individual. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. Good second of 14 in nursery at this course (7f, 8/1) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Went very close in a nursery here last month, should go close if cheekpieces do the trick.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/2 +81%) Card Shark	3.5 7/2(+81%)	(3) Card Shark 7/2, Dark Angel colt. Brother to useful 1m-10.5f winner Take Heart and half-brother to 1¼m winner Treble Joy. Of some interest as a brother to the trainer's Take Heart a C&D maiden winner last winter.
8th	7 8th (7) (66/1 -100%) Jurality	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Jurality 66/1, Seventh of 13 in maiden (20/1) at Thurles (8f, soft) on debut, not clear run. Off 99 days. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. May well do better. Fair debut run when midfield in Thurles maiden over this trip, cheekpieces may help.
9th	2 9th (2) (5/1 +23%) Artful Approach	5 5/1(+23%)	(2) Artful Approach 5/1, Twice-raced gelding. Sixth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good, 7/1). Off 153 days. Fair sixth in a good maiden at the Curragh in August, could make his presence felt now.
10th	1 10th (1) (25/1 -150%) Alex Belardo	25 25/1(-150%)	(1) Alex Belardo 25/1, Sixth of 12 in maiden at this course (7f, 66/1) on debut 44 days ago, having to pick way through. Should progress. Did not get the best of runs when a staying-on sixth over 7f here on debut, could feature.
11th	16 11th (16) (150/1 -127%) Maxwell Smart	150 150/1(-127%)	(16) Maxwell Smart 150/1, Eleventh of 15 in maiden at Leopardstown (8f, heavy, 100/1) 83 days ago. First run for yard after leaving W. McCreery. RESERVE. Second reserve, soundly beaten in races here and at Leopardstown last October, new stable.
12th	5 12th (5) (125/1 -400%) Highland Mist	125 125/1(-400%)	(5) Highland Mist 125/1, Highland Reel gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 6f Kingsgate Choice. Dam was a 5f juvenile winner and is a half-sister to very useful sprinter Kingsgate Choice.
13th	14 13th (14) (200/1 -100%) Lorr's Girl	200 200/1(-100%)	(14) Lorr's Girl 200/1, 200/1, ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to fancy on the evidence of two runs over 6f at this venue in recent months.
14th	8 14th (8) (100/1 -52%) My Mate Tony	100 100/1(-52%)	(8) My Mate Tony 100/1, 200/1, twelfth of 13 in maiden at this course (7f) 30 days ago. Two undistinguished runs at this venue, his trainer has much stronger candidates for this.

LTO Selection:

NERANO cost 250,000 euros at a breeze-up sale in Arqana last spring and made a promising debut over C&D last month. The Joseph O'Brien-trained son of War Front didn't enjoy the clearest of passages on the stand side in the straight but kept on well into third behind Raknah, with subsequent winner McVay a length behind in fourth. Artful Approach showed promise on both maiden starts and it will be interesting to see how he adapts to this surface, while I Bid You Ajou, placed behind the aforementioned McVay, and Nedita are others to consider. The Bear Trap filled the runner-up spot twice for Jessica Harrington and was again just denied over seven furlongs last time. A visor is now replaced by cheekpieces.

NERANO cost plenty last year and December's debut over C&D was full of promise, ultimately finishing third. Sure to build on that, he's the one to beat, with the quirky The Bear Trap and I Bid You Ajou a couple of potential threats.

Joseph O'Brien runs four here and may collect with NERANO who failed to get a clear run here five weeks ago and is open to improvement

17:15 Dundalk Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:45 Dundalk Maiden 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (6/5 +4%) Beautiful Dawn	1.2 6/5(+4%)	(2) Beautiful Dawn 6/5, €82,000F, €330,000Y. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1¼m winner Beaux Villages (by Gleneagles) and 1½m winner (stays 1¾m) Greek Giant (by Teofilo). Fifth of 14 in maiden at this course (6f, 8/1) on debut 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. May well do better and likely sort in this company. Shaped well enough when fifth on her debut over 6f at this venue, could be hard to beat.
2	14 2nd (14) (11/2 -175%) Timana	5.5 11/2(-175%)	(14) Timana 11/2, Footstepsinthesand filly out of unraced half-sister to 1m-1¼m winner Tinandali and 1¼m-1½m winner Tregony (both smart) out of useful winner around 1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Timarwa. Appealing newcomer. First foal, dam unraced half-sister to useful winners including Listed 1m4f scorer Tregony.
3	4 3rd (4) (25/1 +24%) Butterfly Bush	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Butterfly Bush 25/1, Twice-raced filly. Off 6 months. Significantly up in trip. Hard to fancy. Showed her inexperience in two sprint maidens last summer, should be more mature now.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +40%) Copie Conforme	12 12/1(+40%)	(5) Copie Conforme 12/1, Eleventh of 14 at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 100/1) on debut. Off 120 days. Significantly up in trip. This is easier. Hampered at the start and never involved first time out, massive improvement required.
4	1 4th (1) (33/1 +0%) Alabama Calling	33 33/1(+0%)	(1) Alabama Calling 33/1, Twice-raced filly. Eleventh of 13 in minor event (150/1) at this C&D 23 days ago. Ran green and was eased before the finish in a 1m maiden here last month, hard to fancy.
6th	11 6th (11) (10/1 -67%) Mm Dragonfly	10 10/1(-67%)	(11) Mm Dragonfly 10/1, Invincible Spirit filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1m-1¼m winner Gulf of Poets out of useful 1¼m winner Sandglass. Plenty of good winners in the pedigree; may be capable of featuring first time out.
7th	7 7th (7) (80/1 +20%) Flippity Flop	80 80/1(+20%)	(7) Flippity Flop 80/1, Once-raced filly. 200/1, last of 13 in maiden at this course (7f) on debut 72 days ago, folding. Last of 13 when 200-1 on debut over 7f here in November, can be discounted.
8th	13 8th (13) (28/1 +65%) Still She Blooms	28 28/1(+65%)	(13) Still She Blooms 28/1, Twice-raced filly. Tenth of 13 in minor event (200/1) at this C&D 23 days ago. Down the field over C&D on her first two outings, can be left out of calculations.
9th	12 9th (12) (150/1 -50%) Small Bucks	150 150/1(-50%)	(12) Small Bucks 150/1, Once-raced filly. Twelfth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (150/1) on debut 35 days ago, missing break. Huge price when unable to make any impact on debut over C&D five weeks ago.
10th	10 10th (10) (66/1 -32%) Japanese Silk	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Japanese Silk 66/1, €1,200 yearling, 1,200 gns 2-y-o, Kuroshio filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 1m winner Red Ensign and 7f winner Elettaria. Half-sister to minor winners, dam an unplaced half-sister to a 1m4f Group 3 winner.
11th	9 11th (9) (40/1 +20%) Holly Woods Dancer	40 40/1(+20%)	(9) Holly Woods Dancer 40/1, €44,000 foal, £85,000 yearling, 5,500 gns 2-y-o, Kessaar filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner (stays 1½m) Insinuendo out of useful 9f winner Obama Rule. Wears hood. First foal, dam placed 1m AW is a half-sister to Group 2 winner Insinuendo, hooded..
12th	3 12th (3) (4/1 +20%) Beyond Your Dreams	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Beyond Your Dreams 4/1, Fastnet Rock filly. Sister to 1m winner Sincerest. Dam unraced sister to 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Love Potion and 8.3f winner (stayed 1¼m) Boherbuoy, both useful. 1 of 3 runners for yard, all interesting. Sister to 1m handicap winner Sincerest, stablemate Beautiful Dawn has the benefit of a run.
13th	8 13th (8) (250/1 -150%) Get Your Groove On	250 250/1(-150%)	(8) Get Your Groove On 250/1, Once-raced filly. 150/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f) on debut 28 days ago. Finished with only one straggler behind her four weeks ago on debut, safe to rule out.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (8/1 +11%) Dancing Leaves	8 8/1(+11%)	(6) Dancing Leaves 8/1, 120,000 gns yearling, Le Havre filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1m-9.5f winner Enfolding and 6f-8.5f winner Duke of North. Dam ran once. Wears cheekpieces. 1 of 3 runners for top stable. Eighth foal, dam has a good record at stud, the trainer has two other runners, cheekpieces.

LTO Selection:

BEAUTIFUL DAWN is by the sprinter Starspangledbanner but there is plenty of stamina on her dam's side and the Joseph O'Brien-trained filly, who cost 330,000 euros as a yearling at the Goffs Orby Sale, may appreciate this step up in trip. She weakened in the closing stages when fifth on debut here over six furlongs in the maiden won by Anvika, and the runner-up has gone one better since. The remainder with form make limited appeal and any market moves for the newcomers would be significant. Timana is of obvious interest and the Aga Khan's homebred daughter of Footstepsinthesand is out of an unraced High Chaparral mare. The selection's stablemates Beyond Your Dreams and Dancing Leaves are both bred to stay at least a mile, while Mm Dragonfly hails from a yard whose newcomers generally progress from a run.

Joseph O'Brien could hold the key to this and BEAUTIFUL DAWN is chanced to build on a promising debut here 6 weeks ago and open her account, with the longer trip likely to suit. Beyond Your Dreams and Dancing Leaves are interesting newcomers for the yard, as is the Aga Khan's Timana for Johnny Murtagh.

Joseph O'Brien has three runners and the experience of the once-raced BEAUTIFUL DAWN may prove decisive.

Quirky sort but has a good chance on form. Two wins over longer distances; declining mark of late but still hard to be confident in.
6th	13 6th (13) (28/1 -133%) Man Is King	28 28/1(-133%)	(13) Man Is King 28/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Seventh of 14 in handicap (33/1) at this course (7f) 23 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Recent runs not devoid of encouragement hard to see him playing a major role; 6lb wrong.
7th	8 7th (8) (20/1 +0%) Hope And Innocence	20 20/1(+0%)	(8) Hope And Innocence 20/1, First run since leaving John Patrick Murtagh when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 35 days ago. Ex Johnny Murtagh-trained 4yo; well held last month over C&D, needs to settle better.

Merits consideration if shrugging off latest effort. Yet to fire for current yard and mark remains on the high side.
9th	1 9th (1) (80/1 -344%) Quick Blessing	80 80/1(-344%)	(1) Quick Blessing 80/1, First run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (80/1) 37 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Turf form better and top-weight remains opposable.
10th	3 10th (3) (3/1 +40%) Snag It	3 3/1(+40%)	(3) Snag It 3/1, Course winner. Latest win here in November. Creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 17/2) 23 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Needs considering. Recent form at 1m2f but keen-going sort could go well at this shorter trip.
11th	6 11th (6) (25/1 -56%) Cold Cold Heart	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Cold Cold Heart 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 42 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Hood on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Hooded now for handicap debut and unexposed 5yo not one to rule out.
12th	2 12th (2) (22/1 -22%) Boskill Marie	22 22/1(-22%)	(2) Boskill Marie 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (20/1) 42 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Uphill task. Unexposed handicap debutante with cheekpieces fitted so worth a look.
13th	10 13th (10) (12/1 +40%) Miracles In May	12 12/1(+40%)	(10) Miracles In May 12/1, C&D winner. 40/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.8f, good). Off 136 days. Can make presence felt if on his A-game. Back from a break with the worst of the draw here so best watched.

LTO Selection:

John McConnell holds a strong hand here and perhaps ZAHEE can land the spoils. The Iffraaj gelding has gained all three career wins over a mile, including twice at this venue, and having dropped down to an attractive mark, indicated another victory may be imminent when keeping on well into fourth behind Comfort Line just before Christmas. Stablemate Cousin Shay was just a neck behind in fifth and is an obvious threat, while Knockmore Prince has also joined McConnell after being claimed out of Noel Meade's yard last month. Snag It made a successful start for Pat Murphy in November and now drops down in trip after another decent effort behind Garrick Painter last month.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and course-winner COUSIN SHAY is taken to resume winning ways now he has slipped to a handy-looking mark. Humanitarian is also weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of fellow course scorer Snag It.

John McConnell holds a strong hand here with ZAHEE taken to confirm recent C&D form with Cousin Shay

1	11 1st (11) (28/1 -100%) Gatsby Cap	28 28/1(-100%)	(11) Gatsby Cap 28/1, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Eleventh of 14 in handicap (25/1) at this course (10.7f) 30 days ago. Back down in trip. Dual C&D winner but lots to find on last month's comeback run here.
2	14 2nd (14) (7/2 +22%) Tara Power	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(14) Tara Power 7/2, C&D winner. One win from 29 Flat runs. Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 51 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. Running okay in defeat from the basement mark here of late and has to be considered.
3	13 3rd (13) (25/1 -25%) Suityourselfboss	25 25/1(-25%)	(13) Suityourselfboss 25/1, Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap (80/1) at this course (7f) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. More needed. Continues to struggle; cheekpieces now tried but 7lb wrong.

7th	8 7th (8) (6/1 -71%) Kudbegood	6 6/1(-71%)	(8) Kudbegood 6/1, 3-time C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (8/1) 28 days ago. Enters calculations. Last year's second off 6lb higher; better for recent comeback run so considered.
8th	1 8th (1) (16/1 -14%) Arbaawi	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Arbaawi 16/1, Latest win at Lingfield in July. 8/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 83 days ago, not ideally placed. First run for yard after leaving Stuart Williams. AW/turf winner in Britain for Stuart Williams; likely best watched on yard debut.
9th	7 9th (7) (15/2 +38%) Airgead	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(7) Airgead 15/2, C&D winner. Bit below form eighth of 14 in handicap (12/1) at this course (7f) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Well held since November C&D win; more needed but jockey booking a positive.
10th	2 10th (2) (11/2 +73%) Arthur's Victory	5.5 11/2(+73%)	(2) Arthur's Victory 11/2, Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 28 days ago, running on. Wasn't beaten that far over C&D last month; 2lb lower and not one to readily rule out.
11th	10 11th (10) (50/1 -100%) Chancey Approach	50 50/1(-100%)	(10) Chancey Approach 50/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 200/1) 30 days ago. Visored for 1st time. Long absent before last month's run; 4lb wrong and hard to fancy.
12th	12 12th (12) (20/1 +20%) Nyla Rua	20 20/1(+20%)	(12) Nyla Rua 20/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 33/1, first run since leaving Jack W. Davison when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 30 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Never sighted on last month's comeback run; longer trip in her favour but 3lb wrong.

14th	4 14th (4) (66/1 -164%) Mister X	66 66/1(-164%)	(4) Mister X 66/1, First run since leaving Stuart Williams when last of 14 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 28 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Never recovered from slow start on recent yard debut over C&D; wide draw here hardly ideal.

LTO Selection:

CHERRY PINK looked a certain future winner when placed behind better fancied stablemate Doctor Grace on her handicap debut early last year and was returning to this venue for the first time since when again shaping well behind Tynamite just before Christmas. She looks on an attractive mark. Arthur's Victory won three times in the UK for Joseph Parr and dropped into this grade for the first time when keeping on well to be beaten less than three lengths behind Comfort Line last month. Kudbegood, a three-time winner over C&D, is closely matched with Arthur's Victory on that run, while others to consider include Tara Power and Gatsby Cap.

KUDBEGOOD should be spot on after making a solid return from a break over C&D last month and is taken to notch a fourth C&D win of his career. Cherry Pink ran well in the blinkers last time and heads the dangers along with Tara Power. Last year's winner Feature This would also need considering if getting a run.

CHERRY PINK caught the eye staying on over 7f here last month and is taken to get off the mark here over this longer trip

Info	Form	Odds
1	11 1st (11) (7/1 +13%) Dawn Rider	7 7/1(+13%)	(11) Dawn Rider 7/1, Thrice-raced filly. Eleventh of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 10/3) 28 days ago, finding little. Significantly back up in trip. Needs to bounce back. Very disappointing over 1m here last month, solid chance on her previous C&D second.
2	14 2nd (14) (125/1 -25%) Second Girl	125 125/1(-25%)	(14) Second Girl 125/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1, tenth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f) on debut 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Slowly away and never in the hunt on debut over 1m here last month, chance is not obvious.
3	7 3rd (7) (11/4 -69%) Squire Danagher	2.75 11/4(-69%)	(7) Squire Danagher 11/4, Lightly-raced colt. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 13 in maiden (evens) at this course (12f) 23 days ago. Solid form on turf, 1m4f seemed to stretch her stamina here last month, leading chance.
4	13 4th (13) (12/1 +64%) Sea Wave	12 12/1(+64%)	(13) Sea Wave 12/1, Once-raced filly. 22/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at this course (8f) on debut 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. May well do better. Ran a bit green over 1m here on debut six weeks ago, ought to be capable of improvement.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 -122%) Come On The Lads	5 5/1(-122%)	(1) Come On The Lads 5/1, Once-raced gelding. 12/1, third of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, heavy) on debut 82 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Big player in a thin race. Pleasing third behind a shorter-priced stablemate on debut at Leopardstown, obvious chance.
6th	10 6th (10) (22/1 -10%) Belleplaine	22 22/1(-10%)	(10) Belleplaine 22/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (28/1) on debut 35 days ago. More needed. Betrayed her inexperience here on debut, appears safely held by Dawn Rider on that basis.
7th	12 7th (12) (40/1 -21%) Paper Doll	40 40/1(-21%)	(12) Paper Doll 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 9 in maiden (33/1) at Killarney (11.2f, heavy). Off 104 days. More required. Needs to step on the form of two turf outings last season, hard to make a case for her.
8th	6 8th (6) (6/4 +57%) Scatchwah	1.5 6/4(+57%)	(6) Scatchwah 6/4, Promising type. 40/1, fifth of 14 in maiden at Navan (10f, soft) on debut. Off 8 months. Open to improvement and holds obvious claims if he's tuned up. Showed ability in a 1m2f maiden at Navan last May, concern that he has not appeared since.
9th	4 9th (4) (16/1 -60%) Miqdaad	16 16/1(-60%)	(4) Miqdaad 16/1, Twice-raced gelding. 20/1, first run since leaving Roger Varian when fourth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f) 21 days ago.

10th	8 10th (8) (25/1 +69%) The Mighty One	25 25/1(+69%)	(8) The Mighty One 25/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Fifth of 12 in maiden (100/1) at Limerick (12.3f, good). Off 6 months. Respectable fifth in a maiden at Limerick last June, will need to step up on that form.
11th	5 11th (5) (50/1 +50%) Nation At War	50 50/1(+50%)	(5) Nation At War 50/1, Once-raced gelding. Seventh of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 125/1) on debut 28 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly up in trip. Mid-field over 1m here last month; improvement is feasible but others are much preferred.
12th	2 12th (2) (100/1 -900%) Dalmatic	100 100/1(-900%)	(2) Dalmatic 100/1, Twice-raced gelding. 40/1, third of 7 in seller at Goodwood (11.2f, soft). Off 138 days. First run for yard after leaving John Butler. Beaten 11l in third over 1m3f on soft on second of two starts in Britain, little appeal.
13th	3 13th (3) (40/1 -60%) Little Empire	40 40/1(-60%)	(3) Little Empire 40/1, Holy Roman Emperor gelding. Half-brother to 9.5f/10.3f winner Red Trail. Dam unraced. Half-brother to four-time winner Red Trail, newcomer from stable in good form at present.

Significantly up in trip. Looked very raw on introduction here four weeks ago, big price then, finished in rear.

LTO Selection:

COME ON THE LADS made a promising debut on testing ground at Leopardstown in October and, if handling this surface, has strong claims. The Elzaam gelding was only beaten a length when third to better-fancied stablemate Givemehoperosa, keeping on well over nine furlongs to suggest he should get this longer trip. Squire Danagher has given encouragement on all four outings and perhaps the combination of a six-month break and stepping up to 1m4f proved too much in the closing stages when a short-priced favourite here last month. Andy Oliver's charge had newcomer Scatchwah two lengths behind when third to the useful Valiant King at Navan last spring. Dawn Rider is a serious threat on her second to Oliver's Apercu over C&D last month, but disappointed when dropping back to a mile the following week.

COME ON THE LADS ran with credit on debut at Leopardstown 82 days ago and, with cheekpieces fitted, he can find enough improvement to get off the mark at the second attempt. Squire Danagher has achieved slightly more than the selection but is more exposed, while Scatchwah can take a hand if he's ready to go after 8 months off.

A slightly shorter trip and the benefit of the run are potential positives for SQUIRE DANAGHER, third in a 1m4f maiden here last month

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.
