15:35 Dundalk Maiden 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (7/2 -40%) Pepper Noir	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(7) Pepper Noir 7/2, Thrice-raced filly. 11/4, second of 8 in maiden at this course (7f) 9 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Surely has a race in her. Second in two recent races won by stablemates of Prairie Angel, likely to be in the mix.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 +55%) Hasna	5 5/1(+55%)	(5) Hasna 5/1, Sea The Moon filly. Dam 1m winner out of useful 1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Haziyna, herself half-sister to British/Irish Derby winner Harzand. One to note on debut for top yard. Dam was a C&D handicap winner, at a modest level, from the family of Derby winner Harzand.
3	11 3rd (11) (10/3 -141%) Timana	3.333333 10/3(-141%)	(11) Timana 10/3, From a good Aga Khan family. Promising second of 14 in maiden (11/2) at this C&D on debut 42 days ago for Johnny Murtagh, no match for a subsequent winner. High draw a bit of a negative starting out for new yard but she seems sure to improve. Good shout. Good chance given normal progress from debut C&D second, has an edge over Copie Conforme.
4	10 4th (10) (125/1 -25%) Spunog	125 125/1(-25%)	(10) Spunog 125/1, €1,600 yearling, resold €2,000 yearling, Smooth Daddy filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 1½m-16.4f winner Lunar Power and 2-y-o 5f winner Athas An Bhean. Dam 2-y-o 7f winner who stayed 1¼m. Half-sister to six winners including the versatile Lunar Power, may need experience.
5th	2 5th (2) (16/1 -33%) Copie Conforme	16 16/1(-33%)	(2) Copie Conforme 16/1, Twice-raced filly. 12/1, fourth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 42 days ago. Stepped up from turf debut when fourth here six weeks ago, held by runner-up Timana.
6th	8 6th (8) (7/2 +22%) Prairie Angel	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(8) Prairie Angel 7/2, Territories filly. Sister to 1¼m-2m winner Prairie Dancer and half-sister to 2-y-o 5f winner Raging. Dam 1¼m winner who stayed 1½m. Appealing newcomer for yard that has made hay here this winter. Sister to yard's useful and versatile seven-time winner Prairie Dancer, stable in form.
7th	14 7th (14) (40/1 +60%) Wonderwalk	40 40/1(+60%)	(14) Wonderwalk 40/1, Twice-raced filly. 66/1, tenth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 119 days ago. Half-sister to two decent types, fair debut at Roscommon, down the field here in November.
8th	4 8th (4) (18/1 -50%) Enniscoffee	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) Enniscoffee 18/1, Twice-raced filly. 5/1, fifth of 13 in maiden at this C&D 7 days ago. Fifth in two outings over C&D, needs to raise her game to get into the money now.
9th	9 9th (9) (14/1 -133%) Sanafi Sister	14 14/1(-133%)	(9) Sanafi Sister 14/1, Acclamation filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Mofridge and smart French 1m and winner Marhaba Ya Sanafi. Dam unraced. Half-sister to the 2023 French 2,000 Guineas winner Marhaba Ya Sanafi, very interesting.
10th	1 10th (1) (14/1 +65%) Breathe Again	14 14/1(+65%)	(1) Breathe Again 14/1, Bated Breath filly. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner), closely related to useful 7f-9f winner Miramis and half-sister to useful 1¼m-13.4f winner Twin Star. Dam Another Story won three times at this track, could be well primed for this.
11th	12 11th (12) (66/1 +0%) Trusty And True	66 66/1(+0%)	(12) Trusty And True 66/1, €17,000 yearling, Holy Roman Emperor filly. Closely related to 2 winners by Rock of Gibraltar, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Strawberry Rock. Closely related to useful middle-distance winner Strawberry Rock, dam placed in Germany.
12th	6 12th (6) (150/1 -50%) Holly Woods Dancer	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) Holly Woods Dancer 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Fifth of 13 in maiden (150/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Fair fifth at a massive price here three weeks ago but well held by runner-up Pepper Noir.
13th	13 13th (13) (9/1 +78%) Weston Grey	9 9/1(+78%)	(13) Weston Grey 9/1, €23,000 yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Hidden Spell and 9f-11f winner Soon It's Late. Dam unraced half-sister to 1m winner Lonely Place. Half-sister to 6f juvenile winner Hidden Spell and a winner in Italy, worth a market check.
14th	3 14th (3) (80/1 +20%) Ellie B	80 80/1(+20%)	(3) Ellie B 80/1, Elzaam filly. Dam 1¼m/10.7f winner. Dam was a middle-distance winner for this stable including at this track, may need further.

TIMANA made a promising debut for Johnny Murtagh over C&D last month and has since changed hands for 15,000 euros at Goffs. The selection met interference early on but kept on well in the straight when beating all bar Beautiful Dawn (won again since) with Copie Conforme about three lengths back in fourth, and should progress with that experience under her belt. Pepper Noir has filled the runner-up spot twice here this month, while Enniscoffee is another to consider with Colin Keane on board. Prairie Angel, a sister to dual-purpose stablemate Prairie Dancer, and Hasna, by Sea The Stars and from the family of Harzand, are two newcomers to note in the market.

TIMANA made a promising start for Johnny Murtagh here 6 weeks ago and is taken to make a winning start for her new yard despite a wide draw. Pepper Noir and newcomers Prairie Angel and Hasna complete the shortlist.

The 68-rated Pepper Noir has a definite chance but may not cope with TIMANA who should be able to step up from her debut second

15:35 Dundalk Maiden 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:05 Dundalk Handicap 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +38%) Final Voyage	5 5/1(+38%)	(3) Final Voyage 5/1, 3½ lengths fifth of 7 to Hodd's Girl in handicap at this course (7f, 7/1) 23 days ago. One to note back up in trip. Late work over 7f behind Hodd's Girl last month; declining mark so not one to rule out.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/4 +31%) Hightimeyouwon	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(4) Hightimeyouwon 11/4, Course winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Good second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 14 days ago, outbattled. Shortlist material. Most consistent here of late without success; inching up the weights too.
3	1 3rd (1) (6/1 -80%) Freescape	6 6/1(-80%)	(1) Freescape 6/1, 7-time course winner. Latest win here in December. Respectable third of 7 in minor event at this course (10.7f, 9/2) 28 days ago. Back down in trip. In good form over 1m2f here of late, not sure if this drop in trip is what he wants.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 -80%) Hodd's Girl	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(2) Hodd's Girl 9/2, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap (10/3) at this course (7f) 23 days ago by 2 lengths from Brains, soon clear. Can give a good account once more. Won going away over 7f last month; yet to convince at 1m but worth another shot.
5th	6 5th (6) (16/5 +20%) Chavajod	3.2 16/5(+20%)	(6) Chavajod 16/5, C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. One to consider. Dual C&D winner this winter but handicapper may have his measure now.
6th	5 6th (5) (17/2 -31%) Nahori	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(5) Nahori 17/2, 18/1, won 14-runner maiden at this course (7f) on debut 63 days ago, well on top finish. More to come and shouldn't be dismissed now handicapping. Made good impression when belated debut winner here in December; trip should suit.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 -52%) Imadpour	50 50/1(-52%)	(7) Imadpour 50/1, Won at Cork in 2022. Fifteenth of 16 in juvenile hurdle at Naas (15.5f, soft, 250/1) 26 days ago. More needed. Poor recent hurdles form, seems best watched on second AW start.
8th	8 8th (8) (16/1 +0%) Brains	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Brains 16/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Eleventh of 13 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 14 days ago. Claiming winner here but tame recent handicap run a concern.

FINAL VOYAGE should appreciate this step up in trip. The Camacho gelding won three times over an extended mile at Wolverhampton for James Tate and also recorded a valuable success over a mile at Lingfield on Good Friday last year. The selection has been far from disgraced in two outings here this winter including when staying on behind Hodd's Girl and Brains last month and has edged down to an attractive mark. Chavajod recorded a third C&D win when holding off Hightimeyouwon by half a length last month, while Nahori won on debut here over seven just before Christmas in a maiden that has thrown up a number of subsequent winners.

HODD'S GIRL won well here 3 weeks ago and could be good for the follow up after a 5 lb rise. Hightimeyouwon and the unexposed Nahori are a couple of the likely dangers.

Although she didn't beat much on her debut here in December, NAHORI intimated she could have plenty more to offer over this longer trip

16:40 Dundalk Maiden 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (14/1 -17%) Alexander John	14 14/1(-17%)	(1) Alexander John 14/1, Fair colt. Remains a maiden after 15 Flat runs. 20/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Good chance on overall form, 5f probably much too sharp here two weeks ago.
2	12 2nd (12) (7/2 -40%) Lauroline	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(12) Lauroline 7/2, Fair mare. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. Creditable second of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 7/4) 9 days ago. Respected. Placed in five of her six races at this venue, decent form lately, should not be far away.
3	14 3rd (14) (11/2 -38%) Oriental Dancer	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(14) Oriental Dancer 11/2, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. Below form sixth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, evens) 21 days ago. Hood back on. Could bounce back. Good second over 1m here on penultimate run, unplaced favourite on latest, well-exposed.
4	11 4th (11) (5/4 +64%) Irish Rumour	1.25 5/4(+64%)	(11) Irish Rumour 5/4, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. 3/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, good second of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 23 days ago. Deserves a change of luck. Highly consistent in handicaps here in recent months, needs to find a little extra now.
5th	13 5th (13) (8/1 -191%) Local Girl	8 8/1(-191%)	(13) Local Girl 8/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. Respectable third of 14 in maiden at this C&D (4/1) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Good shout. Has made the frame on all five starts here since October, likely to be thereabouts again.
6th	4 6th (4) (15/2 +6%) Charlie Brow'n	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(4) Charlie Brow'n 15/2, Fair gelding. 8/1, creditable fourth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f) 9 days ago. Quite closely matched with Lauroline on recent form, capable of making his presence felt.
7th	7 7th (7) (12/1 +57%) Short Change	12 12/1(+57%)	(7) Short Change 12/1, Requinto gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 5f/6f winner Omaticaya. Makes a belated debut at the age of five, top rider booked, fair pedigree but best watched.
8th	10 8th (10) (50/1 -257%) Zazir	50 50/1(-257%)	(10) Zazir 50/1, Fourth of 13 in maiden at this course (12f, 80/1) 7 days ago, not clear run. Significantly down in trip. Last week's fourth was encouraging but that was over 1m4f, this trip may be too sharp.
9th	8 9th (8) (200/1 -100%) Silky Suilleabhain	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) Silky Suilleabhain 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, last of 10 in maiden at this C&D 107 days ago. Boasts a good pedigree but showed nothing in races at Galway and this venue last year.
10th	5 10th (5) (80/1 -21%) Eight By Ten	80 80/1(-21%)	(5) Eight By Ten 80/1, Kargali colt. Dam lightly raced out of half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Wake Up Maggie. Wears tongue strap. Modest pedigree, one of three runners for stable, Alexander John has valuable experience.
11th	9 11th (9) (33/1 -18%) Zaragoza	33 33/1(-18%)	(9) Zaragoza 33/1, Twice-raced colt. 40/1, eighth of 12 in maiden at Tipperary (5f, soft) 6 months ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly up in trip. In good hands but not a strong contender on the evidence of two 5f turf runs at three.
12th	2 12th (2) (200/1 -100%) Anjician	200 200/1(-100%)	(2) Anjician 200/1, Very lightly raced, well held in 2 Flat maidens at Down Royal and pulled up both starts in maiden hurdles. Absent since 2021. No sign of ability on the Flat or over hurdles, absent for a long period, can be ruled out.
13th	3 13th (3) (80/1 -142%) Cecil Chubb	80 80/1(-142%)	(3) Cecil Chubb 80/1, €52,000 yearling, closely related to very smart winner up to 1m Here Comes When. Last of 11 in maiden (25/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) on debut. Off 9 months. Much too keen when 25-1 chance at Killarney last May on only start at three, gelded now.
14th	6 14th (6) (66/1 +34%) Mighty Brave	66 66/1(+34%)	(6) Mighty Brave 66/1, The Gurkha gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Fennaan and 7f winner Able Grace. Half-brother to four winners, trainer responsible for Alexander John who has useful form.

ORIENTAL DANCER is certainly bred in the purple being by Dubawi and her dam (by Galileo) is an unraced half-sister to French 1,000 Guineas winner Elusive Wave. She went close for Richard Hannon over seven and is worth trying at that trip again after dropping away in the final furlong when well-backed and ridden prominently over a mile earlier this month. The selection has a bit to find with Lauroline on that run and Johnny Murtagh's charge had Charlie Brow'n behind when subsequently runner-up to 66/1 newcomer The Shadow Lingers. Irish Rumour reverts to a maiden after a series of runner-up efforts in handicaps while Local Girl is another consistent filly for the shortlist. Short Change is a newcomer to note with Dylan Browne McMonagle booked.

A good chance for one of the exposed maidens to get off the mark, with LOCAL GIRL chanced in first-time cheekpieces over Irish Rumour and Lauroline.

Likely to be better for a recent run over an inadequate 5f, ALEXANDER JOHN may prove too strong for Lauroline, and Local Girl

16:40 Dundalk Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:15 Dundalk Handicap 7f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
15	15 (15) (25/1 +38%) Rebecca's Girl	25 25/1(+38%)	(15) Rebecca's Girl 25/1, Failed to build on previous promise when twelfth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at this C&D 23 days ago. RESERVE. First reserve, fair fifth over 6f on handicap debut, not as good over this trip last time.
1	4 1st (4) (13/2 +59%) Pascalia	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(4) Pascalia 13/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form sixth of 15 in handicap (10/1) at Gowran (8f, good) 6 months ago. Makes polytrack debut. Just a hint of promise when sixth of 15 in a 1m handicap at Gowran last autumn, AW debut.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 -218%) Bucky Larson	3.5 7/2(-218%)	(1) Bucky Larson 7/2, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 7 days ago. Plenty to like down in grade. Had been running well in defeat before poor 1m run last month, more like it last Friday.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/1 +21%) Blue Wood	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Blue Wood 11/1, C&D winner. 11/1, bit below form fifth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 7 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Mark Cahill. C&D winner last April, lacks a recent run and has changed stable twice during his break.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +29%) Soyounique	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Soyounique 5/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Ran respectably after 7 months off when eighth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at this course (6f) 9 days ago. Can make presence felt. Five wins in Britain, 0-14 in Ireland, not disgraced nine days ago on return from a break.
5th	5 5th (5) (4/1 -14%) Sunset Nova	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) Sunset Nova 4/1, 3-time C&D winner, latest in December. Wasn't disgraced when sixth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at this course (8f) 2 weeks ago. Looks competitive on form. Six course wins, the latest over this trip in December, out of the money last two visits.
6th	6 6th (6) (28/1 +30%) Angel Of The Sea	28 28/1(+30%)	(6) Angel Of The Sea 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, showed nothing when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.6f, heavy) 5 months ago. Best watched. Modest form in five runs, and absent since last September, arguably best run was over C&D.
7th	12 7th (12) (80/1 -100%) Inverbrena	80 80/1(-100%)	(12) Inverbrena 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, showed little again when ninth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 4 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut. Huge price in three maidens, nothing to suggest that she can play a featuring role.
8th	2 8th (2) (16/1 -146%) Un Bacio Ancora	16 16/1(-146%)	(2) Un Bacio Ancora 16/1, Sole win from 32 Flat runs came here in November. 50/1, turned in her best effort of the season sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Could build on that. Won a claimer here in November, out of form until a much-improved display last Friday.
9th	10 9th (10) (4/1 +80%) Boomerang Bill	4 4/1(+80%)	(10) Boomerang Bill 4/1, Might have needed the run after 4 months off when eighth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at this course (8f) 4 weeks ago. Seven-race maiden on turf, made little impact over 1m on AW debut for weeks ago.
10th	14 10th (14) (100/1 -150%) Spring Collection	100 100/1(-150%)	(14) Spring Collection 100/1, Again showed little when ninth of 14 in maiden (250/1) at this course (8f) 3 weeks ago, not given at all a hard time. Makes handicap debut. Ran once at two, missed last year, not much encouragement from two recent maiden attempts.
11th	13 11th (13) (14/1 +13%) Lynskey	14 14/1(+13%)	(13) Lynskey 14/1, Ran poorly when thirteenth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at this course (8f) 2 weeks ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Must bounce back. Not disgraced in a 1m handicap last month, poor over same trip on latest, blinkered now.
12th	11 12th (11) (50/1 +0%) Coco Hill	50 50/1(+0%)	(11) Coco Hill 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Again showed nothing when last of 14 in handicap (150/1) at this course (5f) 84 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. In rear in two 5f handicaps at this venue showing no sign of her respectable turf form.
13th	8 13th (8) (40/1 +0%) Teddy's Dawn	40 40/1(+0%)	(8) Teddy's Dawn 40/1, Hooded for 1st time, fared no better when twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 50/1) 3 weeks ago. Significantly back down in trip. Visor on 1st time. Four runs for Hugo Palmer were ordinary, has struggled over longer trips for this yard.
14th	3 14th (3) (66/1 -65%) Dawn Noir	66 66/1(-65%)	(3) Dawn Noir 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, again offered little after 4 months off when last of 14 on handicap debut at this course (6f) 38 days ago, very slowly away. Blinkered for 1st time. Poor maiden form, failed to beat a single rival over 6f on handicap debut, blinkered now.

BLUE WOOD won off a similar mark over C&D last spring and may have found a good opportunity to add to his tally if fit enough on his first start for Kevin Smith after a seven-month break. Bucky Larson, whose seven career wins include three here over a mile and who also went close here over seven in December, and Un Bacio Ancora are closely matched on running behind Winemaker last Friday. Pascalia showed some promise on turf including at Gowran last autumn and it will be interesting to see how she copes with this surface, while Sunset Nova recorded his sixth course win this winter and remains on a competitive mark.

Competitive stuff and it's top-weight BUCKY LARSON who gets the tentative nod to come out on top dropping in grade and reunited with Dylan McMonagle. Soyounique made a satisfactory return from 7 months off here last week, so he's put forward as the main danger with that under his belt, while Sunset Nova, Un Bacio Ancora and Pascalia are just a handful of others worth considering, also.

It may be worth taking a chance on SOYOUNIQUE who can be expected to improve from a recent outing

1	7 1st (7) (9/2 +40%) Collective Power	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(7) Collective Power 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Cork in September. 2/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago. In the picture. Three of his six wins have come at this track, needs to step up on recent displays.
2	8 2nd (8) (8/1 -7%) Musical Tribute	8 8/1(-7%)	(8) Musical Tribute 8/1, Winner at Chelmsford City in September. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (17/2) at this course (5f) 14 days ago. Can make presence felt. Ran a big race at 66-1 when fourth to Dream Today over C&D, similar over 5f on latest.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/2 +7%) Daamberdiplomat	3.5 7/2(+7%)	(3) Daamberdiplomat 7/2, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (13/2) 70 days ago by head from Dontspoilasale, just holding on. Ought to be in the shake-up. Ridden by this 10lb claimer when C&D winner from Dontspoilasale, 5lb higher fair chance.
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 -71%) Harry's Bar	6 6/1(-71%)	(1) Harry's Bar 6/1, 4-time C&D winner. Below-form second of 4 in minor event at this C&D (10/11) 14 days ago. Booking of Whelan a plus so needs considering. Winner of 15 races including eight at this venue, second in four-runner event on latest.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/2 -20%) Dream Today	3.5 7/2(-20%)	(4) Dream Today 7/2, 4-time C&D winner who landed 13-runner handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. In the mix. Has got away with a 6lb aggregate rise for his last two C&D wins, form looks solid.
6th	6 6th (6) (17/2 +39%) Rough Diamond	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(6) Rough Diamond 17/2, C&D winner who wasn't seen to best effect on a rare start at 7f when sixth of 7 in handicap at this course 23 days ago. Holds good form claims. Beat Dream Today here in October 2002, unplaced on his last three visits, plenty to prove.
7th	2 7th (2) (20/1 -43%) Laugh A Minute	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Laugh A Minute 20/1, Latest win at the Curragh in September. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, heavy, 10/1). Off 110 days and not ruled out. Seven wins on turf, best form at the Curragh, 0-11 AW record is a source of concern.
8th	9 8th (9) (14/1 +0%) Jered Maddox	14 14/1(+0%)	(9) Jered Maddox 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Laytown in September. 5/2, last of 10 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago so needs to bounce back. Needs to rebound from a very disappointing run last month, solid overall profile on AW.
9th	5 9th (5) (8/1 -60%) Dontspoilasale	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) Dontspoilasale 8/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, below form 4 lengths seventh of 13 to Dream Today in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Others more persuasive. Out of the money behind Dream Today last time, two previous seconds give him a chance.

The in-form DAAMBERDIPLOMAT has run just three times on the all-weather and can defy a 5lb higher mark than when winning over C&D in December. A half-brother to the high-class Dragon Pulse, he seems ideally suited by conditions and, being a four-year-old, can progress. Dontspoilasale finished second in that December race and while subsequently well held, today's other rivals Jered Maddox finished fourth, Collective Power seventh and Rough Diamond 11th. Dream Today defeated subsequent winner Inishmot Prince to score over C&D last month and while Inishmot Prince had previously finished fifth to the selection in December, Dream Today holds obvious claims. Musical Tribute finished third to Inishmot Prince a fortnight ago and steps back up in distance, while Laugh A Minute is winless in 11 all-weather starts and returns from a break. Harry's Bar has a tough task under top weight.

ROUGH DIAMOND didn't enjoy the rub of the green when sixth here last time so this C&D scorer is taken to bounce back in style. Fellow C&D winner Collective Power is feared most ahead of in-form duo Musical Tribute and Dream Today.

This looks competitive. DREAM TODAY has a fighting chance of completing a hat trick with the form boosted by Inishmot Prince

18:15 Dundalk Handicap 12f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (5/4 +44%) Noble Crusade	1.25 5/4(+44%)	(5) Noble Crusade 5/4, 14/1, won 14-runner handicap at this C&D 9 days ago, keeping on well. Remains well treated on old form and fancied to make his presence felt. Decisive recent C&D winner hit with 10lb rise but major contender.
2	10 2nd (10) (15/2 -36%) Maura's Gift	7.5 15/2(-36%)	(10) Maura's Gift 15/2, C&D winner. Creditable sixth of 14 in handicap (17/2) at this C&D 35 days ago, disputing lead and weakening only final 100 yds. Not taken lightly. Last month's C&D effort bit below best but one to consider on previous runs here.
3	2 3rd (2) (17/2 -70%) Gracesolution	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(2) Gracesolution 17/2, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Visored for 1st time, respectable 5¼ lengths third of 14 to Noble Crusade in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 9 days ago, keeping on. Consistent sort who is expected to be thereabouts again. Recent C&D third in first-time visor encouraging although needs to settle a bit better.
4	12 4th (12) (33/1 -450%) Special Protector	33 33/1(-450%)	(12) Special Protector 33/1, Maiden who finished a good second on the Flat at Gowran (11.8f) in October and better than finishing positions suggest on each of her 2 starts over hurdles since. Worth noting if the market speaks in her favour back on the level. Moderate recent hurdles form; only second AW start.
5th	8 5th (8) (80/1 -100%) Hollywood Star	80 80/1(-100%)	(8) Hollywood Star 80/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 13 in maiden at this C&D (100/1) 65 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Mostly modest maiden form and others look more likely on his handicap debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (28/1 -75%) Butterfly Garden	28 28/1(-75%)	(7) Butterfly Garden 28/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 86 days ago. Form tailed off last season turf and of limited appeal despite reduced AW mark.
7th	9 7th (9) (20/1 +0%) Arctic Blaze	20 20/1(+0%)	(9) Arctic Blaze 20/1, Course winner. Ninth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, short of room under 2f out and fading. Mark is easing all the time at least. Too keen and didn't get home over C&D a fortnight ago; trainer has stronger contenders.
8th	6 8th (6) (11/2 +61%) Oranmore	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(6) Oranmore 11/2, One win from 21 Flat runs. 12/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at this C&D 63 days ago. Others more persuasive. Placed over 2m here but good bit to find on subsequent effort over today's trip.
9th	3 9th (3) (8/1 -14%) Hasten Slowly	8 8/1(-14%)	(3) Hasten Slowly 8/1, Latest win over 10.7f here in December. Good second of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 4/1) 7 days ago, ridden entering straight and staying on. A repeat here gives him claims of getting involved again. Staying-on second over 1m2f here a week ago; only second attempt at this trip so respected.
10th	14 10th (14) (40/1 -21%) Awakino	40 40/1(-21%)	(14) Awakino 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 400/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 13 in maiden at this C&D 65 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes handicap debut now and progress required. Lightly raced filly has shown little in maidens; hard to be confident in entering handicap.
11th	13 11th (13) (50/1 -100%) Dragon Roll	50 50/1(-100%)	(13) Dragon Roll 50/1, Course winner. Sixteenth of 17 in handicap (14/1) at Gowran (9.6f, heavy). Off 10 months. Up in trip. Needs a couple of these to falter. 1m2f winner here but absent since April and likely to need this.
12th	1 12th (1) (15/2 -50%) Turf Range	7.5 15/2(-50%)	(1) Turf Range 15/2, 3-time C&D winner. 50/1, again ran some way below his best when eighth of 14 in handicap at this C&D in December. Returns from a short break now which may of helped and the assessor has given him a chance. Triple C&D winner; below best in light winter campaign but handicapper giving him a chance.
13th	4 13th (4) (25/1 +24%) Three Comets	25 25/1(+24%)	(4) Three Comets 25/1, Eighteenth of 20 in handicap (50/1) at the Curragh (14f, heavy). Off 115 days. Blinkers back on. First AW run in nearly a year and hard to fancy.
14th	11 14th (11) (28/1 +15%) Barrys Rock	28 28/1(+15%)	(11) Barrys Rock 28/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 16/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 28 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Trip too short last time; still hard to be confident in 24-race maiden.

NOBLE CRUSADE has been penalised 10lb for a recent C&D win but should be able to defy it. Rated 81 at his peak in 2021, his mark dropped considerably following poor runs in 2023, but he won very easily from a career-low level nine days ago. His same rider claims 7lb and he should confirm his superiority over the third-placed Gracesolution, despite being 8lb worse off. Hasten Slowly has useful recent form and while suited by the all-weather, has run just once - when finishing sixth last month - over this distance. Maura's Gift is able at this level and is suited by this distance, but doesn't appear ahead of the handicapper.

NOBLE CRUSADE took advantage of a drop in the weights with any amount to spare over C&D 9 days ago and a subsequent hike in the weights may not be enough to prevent a bold follow-up bid. Gracesolution and the selection's stablemate Hasten Slowly head up the dangers, with Special Protector another to keep an eye on returning to the level.

An authoritative C&D winner 9 days ago NOBLE CRUSADE can follow up despite a 10lb rise

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 1st (1) (12/1 +70%) Nibiru	12 12/1(+70%)	(1) Nibiru 12/1, Unreliable individual. Respectable eighth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D 42 days ago, not knocked about. Blinkers back on. 0-10 on AW and just okay C&D run last month so others preferred.
2	6 2nd (6) (2/1 +50%) Palace Rock	2 2/1(+50%)	(6) Palace Rock 2/1, C&D winner. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, brought down in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (16f, soft) 19 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Penultimate C&D second gives him a major chance.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 -220%) Celtic Revival	8 8/1(-220%)	(4) Celtic Revival 8/1, 5-time C&D winner. Five wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 42 days ago. Shortlist material. C&D win in November off 69; overall solid level of form since so has to be considered.
4	9 4th (9) (22/1 +45%) Fascinating Shadow	22 22/1(+45%)	(9) Fascinating Shadow 22/1, C&D winner. Fifth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 21 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. C&D winner off 5lb higher and recent run encouraging.
5th	2 5th (2) (25/1 -108%) Banana Three	25 25/1(-108%)	(2) Banana Three 25/1, C&D winner. Winner here in December. 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving G. M. Lyons when eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Faded tamely over C&D on recent yard debut; lot more needed.
6th	7 6th (7) (5/1 -82%) Garrick Painter	5 5/1(-82%)	(7) Garrick Painter 5/1, Course winner. Latest win here in December. Very good second of 9 in handicap (5/1) at this course (10.7f) 9 days ago, having run of race. Booking of Keane a plus. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Big player. Good recent 1m2f form augurs well; Keane takes over and big chance if staying longer trip.
7th	11 7th (11) (28/1 -133%) Picpoul	28 28/1(-133%)	(11) Picpoul 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 9 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Third to Garrick Painter was a solid run but two runs since disappointing.
8th	10 8th (10) (33/1 +59%) Pillar Of Hope	33 33/1(+59%)	(10) Pillar Of Hope 33/1, Tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (8f, 50/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Every chance if back to best but he's hard to warm to at present. Hasn't shown enough in five runs here since joining this yard to build a case for.
9th	8 9th (8) (13/2 +46%) Wrecking Ball Paul	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(8) Wrecking Ball Paul 13/2, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (11/1) at this course (10.7f) 7 days ago, always holding on. This is more demanding up 6 lb. Recent 1m2f winner well worth another try at this longer trip and 6lb rise seems okay.
10th	5 10th (5) (11/1 -10%) Autocrat	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Autocrat 11/1, 3/1, respectable length second of 14 to Banana Three in claimer at this C&D 72 days ago, running on. Rejoined yard after leaving JamesMcAuley. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Claimed after C&D second to Banana Three in December; bit more needed back in handicap.
11th	3 11th (3) (4/1 +11%) Roman Bull	4 4/1(+11%)	(3) Roman Bull 4/1, C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (10.7f, 4/1) 9 days ago. Each-way shout. C&D winner all the better for recent comeback run and Billy Lee takes over.

PALACE ROCK was brought down over hurdles at Leopardstown 19 days ago, but had previously been in good form and is well suited to the all-weather. He is 2lb higher than when finishing second here in January, but today's rider claims an extra 3lb and this distance suits him ideally. Banana Three can confirm his December superiority over Autocrat (in a C&D claimer) despite being 2lb worse off, as he won with authority, although he was disappointing on his recent return following a mini-break. Fascinating Shadow showed some of his old sparkle in that recent race, finishing fifth. Roman Bull is a previous C&D winner who competes from the same mark as when beaten here nine days ago, while Celtic Revival is a five-time C&D winner but now seems in the handicapper's grip. Wrecking Ball Paul is a previous hurdle winner but his best Flat form, including a recent win, is over slightly shorter trips. Garrick Painter is tried in first-time cheekpieces and steps up to this distance for the first time.

CELTIC REVIVAL doesn't always help himself by taking a strong hold but he's consistent all the same and is taken to reverse placings with Palace Rock, who was around two lengths ahead of him here last month but now meets the selection on 2 lb worse terms. The latter is likely to give another good account and may emerge as the main danger ahead of Garrick Painter and Roman Bull.

19:15 Dundalk Handicap 11f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +33%) Gesture	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Gesture 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 4/1, good second of 12 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f) 49 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Not dismissed. Solid if not progressive maiden form; upped in trip for handicap debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (28/1 -155%) Signor Ferrari	28 28/1(-155%)	(4) Signor Ferrari 28/1, 13/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Solid enough efforts on latest two handicap efforts over shorter; not a definite stayer.
3	1 3rd (1) (1/4 +56%) Western City	0.25 1/4(+56%)	(1) Western City 1/4, Once-raced winner. Tongue strap on, won 14-runner maiden at this course (8f, 6/1) on debut 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Open to improvement and looks the one to beat on handicap debut. Debut 1m winner here last month should improve for step up in trip; respected.
4	3 4th (3) (14/1 -211%) Special Angel	14 14/1(-211%)	(3) Special Angel 14/1, 33/1, good second of 10 in handicap at this course (8f) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Solid claims. Recent 1m handicap second his best run but by no means certain to appreciate this trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (33/1 -340%) Dont Do Dramas	33 33/1(-340%)	(5) Dont Do Dramas 33/1, Winner at Gowran in October. Seventh of 11 in nursery (5/2) at Galway (7f, heavy). Off 116 days. Significantly up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. May yet have more to offer. Heavy ground winner at 2; AW debut and possibly best watched after long absence.

The form of WESTERN CITY's maiden win last month is unexciting but he should improve from that experience, is well bred, and could be suited by this extra distance. A brother to an American Grade 2 winner, he again wears a tongue-tie and while he concedes plenty of weight, he is far less exposed than his rivals. Special Angel is closely matched with Signor Ferrari on their meeting here over 7f in December, although she then seemed to improve significantly when finishing second over a mile. Gesture ran well in a recent Southwell maiden but steps up in distance on handicap debut, while Dont Do Dramas' best form from last year was on testing ground and he reappears following 116 days off.

WESTERN CITY made a winning start at this course and he's bred to be suited by the step up in trip, so he's a confident choice to maintain his unbeaten record making a quick switch to handicaps. Special Angel looks the chief threat on the back of a good second and Gesture isn't without hope.

Recent debut maiden winner should relish this trip and can follow up on handicap debut

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.
