16:40 Dundalk Handicap 5f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (7/1 +13%) Winemaker	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Winemaker 7/1, Seen to good effect reverting to more positive tactics when winning 13-runner handicap at this course (7f, 7/1) 3 weeks ago, all out to hold on having had the run of the race. Down in trip. In the mix from 4 lb higher. Narrow 7f winner here three weeks ago, has never run over this trip, hard to be confident.
2	12 2nd (12) (12/1 -20%) My Girl Sioux	12 12/1(-20%)	(12) My Girl Sioux 12/1, Ran well when 1¼ lengths second of 14 to Theriverrunsdeep in handicap (10/1) at this course (6f) 23 days ago. Long-standing maiden however, so best to look elsewhere for win purposes. 21-race maiden, second over 6f last time splitting Theriverrunsdeep and Phil's Dream.
3	6 3rd (6) (25/1 +0%) American In Paris	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) American In Paris 25/1, Course winner. Fared little better when sixth of 10 in handicap (40/1) at this course (6f) 37 days ago. Mark continues to tumble. Should be sharper as a result of two January outings but others make more appeal.
4	5 4th (5) (7/1 -17%) Theriverrunsdeep	7 7/1(-17%)	(5) Theriverrunsdeep 7/1, 5-time course winner. 11/2, decisively resumed winning ways back down in grade in 14-runner handicap at this course (6f) 23 days ago by 1¼ lengths from My Girl Sioux, staying on to lead 1f out. More needed up 6 lb. Overcame outside draw in 17 when beating My Girl Sioux and Phil's Dream here last time.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 -40%) Samrogue	7 7/1(-40%)	(3) Samrogue 7/1, 4-time C&D winner, latest in December. 10/3, ran up to best after 8 weeks off when second of 10 in handicap at this C&D 3 weeks ago, nearest at the finish. Every chance she'll be bang there again. Four-time C&D winner, good form lately winning twice this winter; holding her form well.
6th	9 6th (9) (18/1 +28%) Cuban Grey	18 18/1(+28%)	(9) Cuban Grey 18/1, Ran even worse than on yard debut when last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 22/1) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and handicapper is at least relinquishing his grip. 1-22 on AW, placed seven times, looks held by Samrogue on running here in January.
7th	4 7th (4) (8/1 +11%) Sam's Xpress	8 8/1(+11%)	(4) Sam's Xpress 8/1, C&D winner. 6/1, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 3 weeks ago, doing too much too soon. Others more persuasive. Dual course winner, needs to raise his game following two fifth placings over C&D..
8th	10 8th (10) (17/2 -13%) Hero Of The Hour	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(10) Hero Of The Hour 17/2, Three wins from 12 runs last year. Not seen to best effect when 2¼ lengths fifth of 14 to Theriverrunsdeep in handicap at this course (6f, 3/1) 23 days ago, making his ground away from the main action. Solid each-way claims. Finished behind four of these rivals when fifth over 6f her last month, needs extra.
9th	8 9th (8) (10/1 +17%) Bonny Power	10 10/1(+17%)	(8) Bonny Power 10/1, C&D winner. Given a chance by the handicapper and took a big step back in the right direction when 1½ lengths third of 14 to Phil's Dream in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 6 weeks ago. One to bear in mind from 1 lb lower. C&D winner last winter, signs of a return to form when third to Phil's Dream last time.
10th	7 10th (7) (8/1 +33%) Phil's Dream	8 8/1(+33%)	(7) Phil's Dream 8/1, C&D winner in January. Creditable 1½ lengths third of 14 to Theriverrunsdeep in handicap at this course (6f, 13/2) 23 days ago. In the mix. C&D winner, solid third over 6f behind Theriverrunsdeep and My Girl Sioux last time.
11th	11 11th (11) (11/2 +15%) Below Deck	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(11) Below Deck 11/2, Respectable 2¾ lengths sixth of 14 to Theriverrunsdeep in handicap at this course (6f, 11/4) 23 days ago. Blinkers back on. Went agonisingly close over 5f on penultimate start and there's plenty to like returned to the minimum trip. 14-race maiden, has finished in the first three in five of his last seven appearances here.
12th	13 12th (13) (33/1 +18%) Maggie Thunder	33 33/1(+18%)	(13) Maggie Thunder 33/1, 3-time C&D winner. Twenty-five runs since last win in 2021. Ran below form when eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (6f, 25/1) 52 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Three-time C&D winner, struggled on turf and at this venue during light 2023 campaign.
13th	1 13th (1) (18/1 +10%) Livingston Range	18 18/1(+10%)	(1) Livingston Range 18/1, Course winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. First run for yard after leaving Leanne Breen. Course 6f winner, ran a solid race over that trip on penultimate start, new stable now.

SAMROGUE is an in-form course-and-distance specialist who has beaten many of today's rivals already this winter. Ridden by a 5lb claimer recently, she competes from the same mark as when finishing second 21 days ago, has already beaten Maggie Thunder three times this winter and also holds Livingston Range, Cuban Grey, Bonny Power, Sam's Xpress, My Girl Sioux and Below Deck on recent form. Below Deck is closely matched with the selection on recent efforts and is now 10lb better off for a head defeat in December. However she is a 14-race maiden who disappointed over six furlongs last time. Course specialist Theriverrunsdeep beat 21-race maiden My Girl Sioux into second and Phil's Dream into third here last month but would prefer six furlongs. Winemaker won recently but drops markedly to this distance, for the first time.

Plenty of these have met before and its BELOW DECK who makes most appeal returned to the minimum trip and with blinkers tried for just a second time. Bonny Power took a big step back in the right direction when third over C&D 6 weeks ago so Eddie Lynam's filly could give the selection most to think about, with Hero of The Hour and Samrogue another couple worth considering in an open-looking sprint to kick off proceedings.

An unplaced favourite over 6f here last time BELOW DECK has a solid chance on the balance of winter form at this venue.

17:15 Dundalk Claimer 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (13/8 +46%) Dandy Lichious	1.625 13/8(+46%)	(9) Dandy Lichious 13/8, Fair gelding who ran best race for present yard when second of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 28/1) 7 days ago, leading briefly final 1f and keeping on. Player with a repeat dropped in grade/trip. Much improved last Friday when second in a 1m handicap, capable of getting in the mix.
2	4 2nd (4) (20/1 -150%) Masonbrook Meadow	20 20/1(-150%)	(4) Masonbrook Meadow 20/1, Fair filly. 16/1, bit below form seventh of 14 in nursery at this C&D 79 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Not out of things back from a break/eased in class. Managed a few fair runs in nurseries at this venue, not without a chance at these weights.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +0%) Cool Dan	7 7/1(+0%)	(3) Cool Dan 7/1, Fair gelding. 20/1, creditable fifth of 14 in maiden at this course (6f) 7 days ago. Blinkers back on. Respected. Solid runs in defeat at this track, booking of Colin Keane is noteworthy, should go well.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 +44%) Posh Maisie	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(2) Posh Maisie 9/2, Dandy Man filly who again showed fair form when third of 8 in maiden at this C&D 23 days ago, no extra only late on. Needs to pull out more but she remains less exposed than most. Unexposed filly, can be given a big chance with Rory Mulligan taking off 10lb.
5th	6 5th (6) (100/1 -100%) Turn Up The Beat	100 100/1(-100%)	(6) Turn Up The Beat 100/1, Once-raced maiden. Last of 13 in maiden at this course (8f, 25/1) on debut 35 days ago. Last of 13 in a 1m maiden here five weeks ago after a slow start, unlikely to feature.
6th	11 6th (11) (33/1 -106%) Dark Blue Diamond	33 33/1(-106%)	(11) Dark Blue Diamond 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at this course (8f) 21 days ago, never better than midfield. More needed. Showed some promise in a C&D maiden on debut, no improvement over 1m three weeks ago.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 +0%) Ciantov	50 50/1(+0%)	(8) Ciantov 50/1, Well held both starts in maidens as a 2-y-o and he can only be watched back from 8 months off. Soundly beaten in two sprint maidens on turf last year, has been gelded, does not appeal..
8th	14 8th (14) (66/1 -32%) Xaustdwithpleasure	66 66/1(-32%)	(14) Xaustdwithpleasure 66/1, Offered little both starts in sprint maidens during second half of last year and he can only be watched back from 3 months off. Hood on 1st time. In good hands but showed nothing in two outings in sprint maidens at two, hooded now.
9th	13 9th (13) (33/1 +18%) Go On Go On Uhavit	33 33/1(+18%)	(13) Go On Go On Uhavit 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 66/1) 7 days ago. Others make more appeal. Modest form at two, finished behind Bacio when down the field in a 1m handicap last Friday.
10th	1 10th (1) (7/2 -40%) Bruce Lightning	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(1) Bruce Lightning 7/2, Fairly useful gelding. 7/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (6f) 21 days ago, headed final 1f and rallying. Rates a likely player down in grade. Made almost over 6f here three weeks ago, extra furlong should not be a problem.
11th	12 11th (12) (18/1 -50%) Laser Sharp	18 18/1(-50%)	(12) Laser Sharp 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form fifth of 9 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/1) 44 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Andrew Balding. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Hints of ability in four races for Andrew Balding, had a run in January, of some interest.
12th	10 12th (10) (33/1 -106%) Hispanolita	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) Hispanolita 33/1, Modest filly. 4¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Bruce Lightning in handicap at this course (6f, 16/1) 21 days ago. Visor on 1st time, tongue strap back on. Ordinary form last season; looks held by Bruce Lightning on running here three weeks ago.
13th	5 13th (5) (33/1 -32%) Iberian Queen	33 33/1(-32%)	(5) Iberian Queen 33/1, Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, sixth of 8 in maiden at this course (5f) 37 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Not a likely contender based on the evidence of two 5f starts at this venue.
14th	7 14th (7) (25/1 +38%) Bacio	25 25/1(+38%)	(7) Bacio 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 7 days ago, not knocked about. Good deal more needed even allowing for the drop in grade. Soundly beaten in three maiden runs, only mild promise in a handicap on latest, stiff task.

POSH MAISIE's weight burden is eased by a 10lb claimer and she appears slightly better than this grade. Slowly away when running nicely on debut, that race has seen the third, fourth and fifth-placed horses score subsequently while the form of last month's distance runner-up effort was boosted by the runner-up winning afterwards. Bruce Lightning won a six-furlong handicap recently but has form at this distance. He might lack the selection's potential but should get involved. Dandy Lichious showed better form over a mile here last week and can figure under a light weight while similarly weighted and visored Hispanolita made her reappearance following 100 days off when beaten by Bruce Lightning recently and is 5lb better off. Cool Dan is a 10-race maiden but has some form while Masonbrook Meadow has been disappointing.

DANDY LICHIOUS ran his best race to date for his present yard when runner-up over 1m here 7 days ago and, with sound claims on these terms down in grade, he can come out on top. Bruce Lightning, a game winner over 6f 3 weeks ago, rates the lead threat. Cool Dan and Masonbrook Meadow complete the shortlist.

The twice-raced POSH MAISIE (nap) is interesting in a race of this standard having shown notable improvement when third here last month.

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

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (6/1 +25%) Hurricane Helen	6 6/1(+25%)	(8) Hurricane Helen 6/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D (14/1) 28 days ago, despite not clear run. C&D winner in December, closely matched with Ten To Ten on running here four weeks ago.
2	13 2nd (13) (33/1 -136%) Suityourselfboss	33 33/1(-136%)	(13) Suityourselfboss 33/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, good 1½ lengths third of 14 to Gatsby Cap in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 56 days ago. 12-race maiden comes into the reckoning following third behind Gatsby Cap in January.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/1 -11%) River Derwent	10 10/1(-11%)	(2) River Derwent 10/1, Resumed winning ways in 7f handicap here in January and followed up in 14-runner claimer (7f) 35 days ago. First run for yard after leaving R. Donohoe. Has gone up 9lb for two 7f wins but may remain competitive on first run for this stable.
4	12 4th (12) (10/1 +9%) Atbay	10 10/1(+9%)	(12) Atbay 10/1, Modest maiden who ran below form when seventh of 14 in handicap (7/2) at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft). Off 8 months but merits consideration on the pick of his form. Lacks a recent run, moderate form at this venue, showed some promise on turf last season.
5th	4 5th (4) (3/1 +45%) Ferrybank	3 3/1(+45%)	(4) Ferrybank 3/1, Ended a long losing run in 14-runner handicap at this C&D 42 days ago, driven out. Remains well treated on old form following a 7 lb rise. Enhanced a solid record at this venue with win six weeks ago, further progress is possible.
6th	6 6th (6) (4/1 +33%) Pascalia	4 4/1(+33%)	(6) Pascalia 4/1, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (7f) 14 days ago, by length from Bucky Larson, pushed out. 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid if turning up in similar form. C&D winner on first visit, faces a rematch with the experienced runner-up Bucky Larson.
7th	3 7th (3) (14/1 -115%) Bucky Larson	14 14/1(-115%)	(3) Bucky Larson 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, creditable length second of 14 to Pascalia in handicap at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Can give another good account. Not without a chance of reversing recent 7f form with Pascalia on these altered terms.
8th	11 8th (11) (8/1 +20%) Ten To Ten	8 8/1(+20%)	(11) Ten To Ten 8/1, Backed up previous effort when second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 28 days ago. Produced massive improvement here in December, showed that was not a fluke last month.
9th	1 9th (1) (25/1 -56%) Dutch Glory	25 25/1(-56%)	(1) Dutch Glory 25/1, 4/1, below form when 3¾ lengths seventh of 14 to River Derwent in claimer at this course (7f) 35 days ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving Ross O'Sullivan. Needs to bounce back. Not beaten far in three 7f races since December, a bit more is needed here on stable debut.
10th	9 10th (9) (20/1 -25%) Super Cub	20 20/1(-25%)	(9) Super Cub 20/1, One win from 32 Flat runs and ran poorly when twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (5f). Off 126 days. Significantly back up in trip and has claims on the pick of his form. Rejoined yard after leaving PhilipM.Byrne. 5f winner in Britain in 2021, now back with the trainer for whom he has best Irish form.
11th	5 11th (5) (150/1 -275%) Chopsticks	150 150/1(-275%)	(5) Chopsticks 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden who failed to switch to a handicap when eighth of 14 at this course (12f) 28 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Ordinary maiden form, huge price when down the field in his first handicap, tongue-tie on.
12th	10 12th (10) (66/1 -230%) Manhattan Dandy	66 66/1(-230%)	(10) Manhattan Dandy 66/1, Latest win at Bellewstown in September. 6/1, run best excused when eighth of 16 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy), going off too hard. Off 130 days. Best form on turf has been in testing conditions, 0-13 record on AW is a negative.
13th	7 13th (7) (14/1 -75%) Gatsby Cap	14 14/1(-75%)	(7) Gatsby Cap 14/1, 3-time C&D winner. 14/1, improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at this C&D 28 days ago, driven out. 4 lb higher and should continue in form. Has doubled his score at this track by winning two of his last three races; good chance.
14th	14 14th (14) (22/1 -10%) Saoirses Lulaby	22 22/1(-10%)	(14) Saoirses Lulaby 22/1, 11/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 79 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Made the frame in three of her four starts here last year, needs to find a bit extra now.

FERRYBANK won with a little in hand when able to compete from a career-low rating in January and might cope with a 7lb hike. He is drawn wide in 15 but is ideally suited by this course-and-distance. Pascalia won on her all-weather debut following a 170-day absence last month and has been raised 6lb. She remains somewhat unexposed as a four-year-old and can progress further but the runner-up in that recent race, today's rival Bucky Larson, was beaten eight lengths by the selection in January. In-form six-time winner Gatsby Cap is climbing back up the ratings and beat Suityourselfboss into third here in January. Ten To Ten is a 10-race maiden and finished ahead of five-time winner Hurricane Helen here recently. River Derwent was raised 9lb for his recent claimer success and debuts from a new yard.

SUPER CUB has dropped a long way in the weights and could be worth chancing in an open race on his first start back with his former yard. Last-time-out winner Pascalia and in the in-form Bucky Larson are a couple of potential threats.

This looks very open. PASCALIA appeals as one of the less exposed runners and may supplement her recent 7f win over Bucky Larson

18:15 Dundalk Maiden 8f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (1/3 +80%) Al Mudhaffar	0.333333 1/3(+80%)	(2) Al Mudhaffar 1/3, Promising type. 4/5, second of 13 in maiden at this C&D on debut 21 days ago. Likely to improve. Turned over when odds over for C&D debut but stuck to his task well; major player.
2	7 2nd (7) (12/1 +64%) Natural Ruler	12 12/1(+64%)	(7) Natural Ruler 12/1, Twice-raced colt. Seventh of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy, 33/1). Off 166 days. Some promise on Curragh debut when beaten 7l; lesser runs since; one for h'caps.
3	5 3rd (5) (9/1 +44%) Hoover Dam	9 9/1(+44%)	(5) Hoover Dam 9/1, Lightly-raced colt. Creditable fourth of 14 in maiden (4/1) at this course (6f) 7 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Creditable runs here including C&D 2nd in January; hasn't built on that since; back to 1m.
4	12 4th (12) (100/1 +33%) Jlow	100 100/1(+33%)	(12) Jlow 100/1, Once-raced filly. 40/1, seventeenth of 19 in maiden at the Curragh (8f, heavy) on debut. Off 166 days. 40-1 for her debut when only beating two home in 19-runner Curragh maiden.
5th	15 5th (15) (150/1 +0%) Albion Power	150 150/1(+0%)	(15) Albion Power 150/1, Once-raced colt. 40/1, twelfth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f) on debut 42 days ago. RESERVE. Well held 12th of 14 over 7f here on debut (SP 40-1); best watched; reserve.
6th	14 6th (14) (50/1 -150%) Spunog	50 50/1(-150%)	(14) Spunog 50/1, Once-raced filly. Fourth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (125/1) on debut 14 days ago. Beaten 3l when 4th over C&D latest, outrunning 125-1; this is tougher but can improve.
7th	11 7th (11) (18/1 -64%) Chinois	18 18/1(-64%)	(11) Chinois 18/1, Once-raced filly. Fifth of 9 in maiden (9/2) at this course (10.7f) on debut 7 days ago. Down in trip. Open to improvement. Beaten 6l in maiden here last week; didn't give impression shorter trip was answer.
8th	6 8th (6) (33/1 -50%) Latin	33 33/1(-50%)	(6) Latin 33/1, Promising sort. Fifth of 11 in maiden (6/1) at the Curragh (6f, soft). Off 167 days. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Aidan O'Brien. Should have more to offer. Promise in 3 starts for Aidan O'Brien without threatening; new yard; best watched.
9th	4 9th (4) (8/1 +68%) George Smiley	8 8/1(+68%)	(4) George Smiley 8/1, Ten Sovereigns gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Take Me With You, third in Albany Stakes. Needs keeping an eye on in the betting. Ten Sovereigns gelding; half-brother to 4 winners but poor draw for debut; already gelded.

Off 6 months. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Karl Burke. Career best when narrowly denied at Carlisle last time; trip may stretch him on return.
11th	13 11th (13) (300/1 -100%) Layoftheland	300 300/1(-100%)	(13) Layoftheland 300/1, Twice-raced filly. 100/1, seventh of 8 in maiden at this course (7f) 23 days ago. Shown nothing at big prices in two runs so far, including here latest.

Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful 1m-9.4f winner Ashraf out of close relative of top-class winner up to 1½m Azamour. Interesting debutante. Camelot filly; dam 1m2f winner (RPR 73) and likely to need further than this.

AL MUDHAFFAR was well touted when finishing second to a promising type on debut last month. The first three finishers were newcomers with today's rival and 73-rated Hoover Dam finishing a well beaten fourth but added substance to the race. Sir Sagacious himself ran very well when showing greenness on debut in a winners' race last month. He received 6lb from the now 86-rated winner then and while he steps up a furlong, should give the selection a real race. UK import Action Plan debuts for new connections following a break while Currumbin was well held in a promising maiden race in January. Ashikita's grandam was a half-sister to Azamour but has plenty on her plate here. Chinois ran well in a recent maiden and can progress while Spunog also ran well on debut. Latin is best watched on his return.

The fact that AL MUDHAFFAR was sent off at odds on for his C&D debut suggests he's well regarded by his powerful stable and he's preferred to fellow course debut runner-up Sir Sagacious. The selection's stablemate Chinois should also build on last week's opening effort here, while Dermot Weld's Ashikita is a newcomer to monitor in the betting.

A few of these made promising debuts here, notably SIR SAGACIOUS who looked green but did well to finish 2nd; he should appreciate 1m

1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +0%) Real Appeal	5 5/1(+0%)	(4) Real Appeal 5/1, Useful course winner. 14¾ lengths ninth of 10 to Zarinsk in Minstrel Stakes at Leopardstown (7.2f, good to soft, 40/1). Off 7 months. Has shown a good standard overall, can go well when fresh so holds a leading chance.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/2 -64%) Freescape	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(2) Freescape 9/2, Smart gelding. 7-time course winner. Latest win here in December. Good third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 14 days ago. Leading claims. Seven-time course winner, seemed to find this trip a bit sharp here a fortnight ago.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/2 +25%) Hodd's Girl	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(6) Hodd's Girl 9/2, Seven-time course winner, the latest over 7f in January. 9/2, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Rarely competes over this trip and may struggle to reverse recent C&D form with Freescape.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 -33%) Howyoulikethat	10 10/1(-33%)	(3) Howyoulikethat 10/1, Useful 3-time C&D winner. 33/1, 10¾ lengths twelfth of 13 to Piz Badile in Diamond Stakes at this course (10.7f). Off 161 days. Back down in trip. Useful course form, has often run well in good company, decent chance at these weights.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/4 +55%) Wigmore Street	1.5 6/4(+55%)	(5) Wigmore Street 6/4, Looked very promising when comfortably seeing off 2 useful sorts in a 13-runner novice at Kempton (8f) for Simon & Ed Crisford in December 2022. It's taken a while to get him back to the track but joined another good stable and it'll be very interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Won a 1m race at Kempton in December 2022 on his only start for the Crisfords, interesting.
6th	1 6th (1) (17/2 +53%) Cristal Clere	8.5 17/2(+53%)	(1) Cristal Clere 17/2, Three wins from 10 runs last year. 14/1, below form eighth of 18 in handicap at Leopardstown (12f, heavy), left with lot to do. Off 138 days. Significantly back down in trip. Good form on heavy, acts on this track but others are better suited by the race conditions.

WIGMORE STREET has a 445-day layoff to overcome but looked smart in winning a juvenile winners' race on debut at Kempton in December 2022. He seemed well suited by the all-weather when scooting impressively clear of a subsequently Listed-placed rival then and it is encouraging he is retained by his same owner. Top adjusted-rated runner Howyoulikethat is a three-time course-and-distance winner and was placed at Listed level last August. He hasn't run since being well beaten here in September and is vulnerable to a smart type on reappearance. Real Appeal won his only previous all-weather start – here in January 2023, but his best form has been achieved on turf and is best watched returning from a long layoff, ahead of the turf season. Seven-time all-weather winner Freescape ran well over course-and-distance last month but his recent wins have been over longer distances, which might be more suitable nowadays.

A very useful conditions event. FREESCAPE shaped well from a lofty mark in handicap company over C&D last time and can notch yet another course win. Wigmore Street has presumably had the odd issue but was very impressive on his Kempton debut 14 months ago and is a potentially dangerous opponent should the betting vibes be strong on his return for new trainer Joseph O'Brien.

This is a hard race to assess but REAL APPEAL has won twice when fresh and is slightly preferred to the race-fit Freescape

19:15 Dundalk Handicap 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (2/1 +40%) Super Over	2 2/1(+40%)	(9) Super Over 2/1, C&D winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (7/2) at this course (7f) 7 days ago, no extra final 100 yds. Visor back on and he could just be worth chancing. All 3 wins have come on AW; on a losing run but running well in defeat of late; pace angle.
2	6 2nd (6) (25/1 -25%) Brains	25 25/1(-25%)	(6) Brains 25/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Last of 8 in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. 11-time AW winner incl' C&D; last 2 wins have come in claimers; poor form of late.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 +8%) Not Forgotten	6 6/1(+8%)	(3) Not Forgotten 6/1, Rewarded for consistency when landing C&D maiden in November. Lines up here following a respectable fifth of 14 in a C&D handicap 4 weeks ago and he's one to bear in mind with cheekpieces now enlisted. Landed C&D maiden in November; lesser efforts since; cheekpieces may help though.
4	11 4th (11) (22/1 -83%) Rampage	22 22/1(-83%)	(11) Rampage 22/1, Latest win at Galway in September. 9/1, below form eleventh of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, soft) in October, weakening over 1f out. Market should guide on return/polytrack debut. Both wins on turf; hasn't shown anything on AW; off 153 days and may be prep for turf.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/2 +72%) Shoot To Kill	2.5 5/2(+72%)	(5) Shoot To Kill 5/2, Latest win at Lingfield in September. Good second of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 61 days ago, no match for winner. First run for yard after leaving Robyn Brisland and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour. 4-time Polytrack winner who was beaten 1l on final start in Britain; form worked out okay.
6th	7 6th (7) (9/1 -50%) Little Keilee	9 9/1(-50%)	(7) Little Keilee 9/1, Latest win here (7f) in December. 9/2, respectable third of 7 in handicap at this course (7f) 37 days ago, headed final 1f and no extra. Should give another good account from 1 lb lower mark. Consistent on AW this winter; 7f winner in December; stays 1m but others on better marks.
7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 +0%) Rockbury Lad	12 12/1(+0%)	(12) Rockbury Lad 12/1, Finally shed maiden tag over C&D in September. Good efforts on 2 of his 4 starts since but didn't find a great deal when seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D in December. Likely type to bounce back returning from a break. C&D winner in September but that's only win in 22 starts and hasn't built on it; hood on.
8th	8 8th (8) (50/1 -100%) Sirjack Thomas	50 50/1(-100%)	(8) Sirjack Thomas 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, bit below form fifth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy), unable to sustain effort. Off 124 days. 7-time turf winner back below last winning mark; suspicion this is prep for turf campaign.
9th	13 9th (13) (18/1 +28%) El Bello	18 18/1(+28%)	(13) El Bello 18/1, Back-to-back winner here (at 7f) in November. However, operating below best upon joining present stable, only tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago. All wins have come at 7f and has lost his way a bit of late, return to 1m unlikely to help.
10th	2 10th (2) (50/1 -52%) Inigo Jones	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Inigo Jones 50/1, First run since leaving Alice Haynes when tenth of 14 in claimer (12/1) at this course (12f) 86 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Tongue strap on for 1st time, cheekpieces on for 1st time. Struggled in claimer on yard debut and may need this; new headgear combo.
11th	4 11th (4) (10/1 +0%) Ransom	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) Ransom 10/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in February. 7/1, first run since leaving Denis Hogan when tenth of 12 in handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Hood on 1st time. 3-time C&D winner; latest in claimer; well held on yard debut over 7f latest; hood on.
12th	1 12th (1) (50/1 -52%) Point Gellibrand	50 50/1(-52%)	(1) Point Gellibrand 50/1, Useful for Joseph O'Brien in 2022. Very lightly-raced since but did at least show more than on return when second of 3 in minor event at this course (7f, 9/1) 49 days ago. Return to handicaps rates a plus from further reduced mark. Ran as well as could be expected in 3-runner 7f race latest but on a tough mark at present.

Four of SKONTONOVSKI's eight wins have been over course-and-distance and he ran well over a furlong-shorter last month. He has been running well this winter, and while beaten half a length by Little Keilee in December, is 3lb better off. Little Keilee has also been running well, although her best form is over seven furlongs and finished behind Brains in January. Twelve-time winner Brains had returned to form in that race but is hit-and-miss and disappointed twice recently. Super Over ran well behind two in-form rivals last week and should run his usual race while Not Forgotten is tried in first-time cheekpieces. Shoot To Kill is a stablemate of the selection's and debuts for new connections. A face-fit eight-time winner, he is well suited by this distance and the all-weather but his rivals are well versed around Dundalk. Rockbury Lad runs in a first-time hood.

SUPER OVER has been displaying more encouraging signs from his reduced mark in handicaps in recent weeks, and with a switch of headgear potentially putting an extra edge on him, he could just be worth chancing back up at 1m. Shoot To Kill, on debut for his new yard, and Not Forgotten head up the dangers, with Little keilee also respected.

SKONTONOVSKI wasn't beaten far when staying on best over seven furlongs here last time and this race should set up well for him

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (9/2 +31%) Highland King	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(6) Highland King 9/2, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 14/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, running on. Cheekpieces back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. One of his better recent runs when 3rd over C&D 3 weeks ago; now 0-17.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 -11%) Moondharrig	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(2) Moondharrig 10/3, Career best when winning 14-runner handicap (10/3) at this C&D 35 days ago, keeping on well. Progressing recently. Improved since h'capping; bids for C&D hat-trick and form of latest win looks rock solid.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +18%) Picpoul	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(1) Picpoul 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Good second of 14 in handicap (16/5) at this course (12f) 7 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. C&D winner; back to form when beaten a neck latest; 3lb rise looks a bit harsh.
4	11 4th (11) (14/1 -115%) Anjah	14 14/1(-115%)	(11) Anjah 14/1, Remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. 10/1, good third of 14 in handicap at this course (12f) 23 days ago. Has good chance on form. 0-29 but not beaten far in last couple of starts and jockey's 4lb claim will help.
5th	8 5th (8) (16/1 +20%) Power Drive	16 16/1(+20%)	(8) Power Drive 16/1, 5-time course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (12f, 20/1) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Merits consideration. 5-time course winner but on a long losing run and couldn't build on some promise latest.
6th	4 6th (4) (14/1 +13%) Snag It	14 14/1(+13%)	(4) Snag It 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Respectable sixth of 12 in claimer (9/1) at this course (8f) 21 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others more persuasive. Gained first win in C&D h'cap on yard debut; mixed bag since; tough mark and wide draw.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 -125%) Hale Bopp	18 18/1(-125%)	(5) Hale Bopp 18/1, Course winner. Good third of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 9/1) 28 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Can make presence felt. All 5 wins at 7f/1m and has failed to get competitive in four previous C&D events.
8th	9 8th (9) (12/1 +0%) Wonder Spirit	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Wonder Spirit 12/1, C&D winner. One win from 24 Flat runs. 20/1, good second of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 28 days ago.

Hood on 1st time. Must improve. One of her better runs when 4th latest but this is tough after five-month break.

Ninth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D. Off 98 days. Needs a couple of these to falter. Lost her way around here since the turf season and drawn wide after 98 days off.
11th	3 11th (3) (15/2 +25%) Pinball Wizard	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(3) Pinball Wizard 15/2, Creditable third of 13 in handicap (5/1) at this course (12f) 77 days ago. Consistent this winter; creeping up h'cap without winning; may not have stayed 1m4f latest.

HIGHLAND KING's rating has fallen and he finished third from a career-low mark recently. He is a 17-race maiden but looks to have found his level, with the form of his recent run being boosted by winner Wrecking Ball Paul and the sixth-placed horse both scoring subsequently. Don't Look Now is a six-race maiden who is drawn wide in 16 but is progressive. She finished narrowly behind Snag It here last month but is open to more progression than that five-time winner. She was beaten a head by Moondharrig (which won subsequently) in January but now enjoys a 17lb swing at the weights. Snag It was beaten in a recent claimer but will be much better suited by reverting back up in distance. Twenty-nine-race maiden Anjah finished fourth with Power Drive finishing fifth to the selection recently while Wonder Spirit's only win came over this course-and-distance and he ran well over a mile last month. Picpoul finished ahead of Miss Heartbreak here in December while Hale Bopp has been running well recently.

While MOONDHARRIG clearly has more on his plate following an 8 lb rise for the latest of his two C&D victories since the turn of the year, it's equally clear that he is on an upward curve and the 4-y-o is taken to complete the hat-trick. Long-standing maiden Anjah has performed with plenty of credit the last twice and should be on the premises once again, while top-weight Picpoul, Hale Bopp and Wonder Spirit are others to consider.

This can go the way of WONDER SPIRIT who is a C&D winner and he was only narrowly denied over an insufficient 1m latest

1	6 1st (6) (17/2 -70%) Satono Chevalier	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(6) Satono Chevalier 17/2, C&D winner. Respectable 6½ lengths fourth of 9 to War Correspondent in handicap (11/4) at this C&D 35 days ago. Should be thereabouts again. Both wins have come over C&D; signs the handicapper has him at present though.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/1 +21%) Star Harbour	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) Star Harbour 11/1, Latest win at Bellewstown in September. 11/2, 8¼ lengths sixth of 9 to War Correspondent in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Went close over C&D in October but been below form in 2 runs since winter break.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/4 +39%) Palace Rock	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(9) Palace Rock 11/4, C&D winner. 2/1, good second of 11 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Arrives in top form and expected to put up another bold showing. 2nd here last 2 Flat starts; 2lb rise not ideal for latest but not ruled out; cheekpieces.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 -56%) Yokkell	7 7/1(-56%)	(4) Yokkell 7/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year. 4/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (10.7f) 23 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again. Won 3 of last 5 starts for new yard and good value for winning margin latest; up 4lb.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +85%) Esquiline	3 3/1(+85%)	(5) Esquiline 3/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap at Listowel (14.2f, soft, 11/4). Off 171 days. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Won maiden at Bellewstown last summer; soft possibly against her since; off 171 days.
6th	2 6th (2) (5/1 +17%) War Correspondent	5 5/1(+17%)	(2) War Correspondent 5/1, Untrustworthy individual. 7/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this C&D 35 days ago by 5 lengths from Yokkell, easily. Not an obvious sort to follow up. C&D winner latest; hit with 9lb rise; unlikely to get away with slipping the field again.
7th	7 7th (7) (14/1 -75%) Impero	14 14/1(-75%)	(7) Impero 14/1, Unreliable type. Respectable second of 7 in handicap (10/3) at this course (16f) 28 days ago, no match for winner. Back down in trip. 0-18; running well in defeat here of late; respected back down in trip despite poor record.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 +0%) Cape Bridgewater	40 40/1(+0%)	(8) Cape Bridgewater 40/1, 40/1, well-beaten last of 9 to War Correspondent in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. First run for yard after leaving D. J. Bunyan & G. O'Leary. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Something to find on form.

9th	10 9th (10) (15/2 +6%) John Alexander	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(10) John Alexander 15/2, C&D winner. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 56 days ago, not ideally placed. Down the weights and looked back in form last time, so worth taking a chance on. Sole win came over C&D; signs of return to form this winter; below last winning h'cap mark.

PALACE ROCK is just 2lb higher than when finishing second over course-and-distance a fortnight ago. Ideally suited by this distance, he is dependable, defeated below-par War Correspondent six lengths in December and is now 10lb better off. War Correspondent has been hit with - in effect, a 9lb hike (as his rider was 2lb overweight) for winning in fine style over course-and-distance last month although he should again run well. He defeated today's rival Yokkell then (with Satono Chevalier in fourth), with that mare boosting the form by winning subsequently, although she too competes from a career high mark. John Alexander was ninth behind Yokkell in December but ran well when finishing third and behind the selection in January. Impero has been running well but is an 18-race maiden. Firstman defeated the selection by three-quarters-of-a-length here in December 2022 (prior to controversially losing a race) but is 9lb worse off and hasn't run since June.

JOHN ALEXANDER has dropped to an appealing mark and caught the eye from a poor position last time, so he's worth taking a chance on in an open race. Palace Rock has been knocking on the door and is unlikely to be far away, while Satono Chevailer is likely to give his running again.

YOKKELL is clearly thriving since joining her new yard and won in good style last time; a 4lb rise looks fine

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.
