A return to the Polytrack could see ALABAMA resume winning ways. He has found Pattern company tricky in his last four outings, but has a victory and a runner-up berth from three spins around Dundalk. Thunderbear is rated 104 on turf and gets in here off his much lower all-weather rating. Previous efforts on synthetic surfaces have been unconvincing, however, the suspicion is there is more to come from him. It is interesting to see Final Voyage drop back to a sprint trip. He has very notable form over further and should get plenty of pace to aim at here. Jered Maddox has won his last two races here and shouldn't be a backmarker.

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so HARRY'S HILL is taken to capitalise on a lenient mark and bag a second C&D win. Final Voyage could emerge as the main danger with fellow course scorer Jered Maddox another to consider.

A fine second to the subsequent Rockingham Handicap winner at Navan on his penultimate start, HARRY'S HILL can record a second C&D win

NOTFORALONGTIME has an excellent record over 7f in Dundalk and is taken to go in again. Indeed, he has won his last two C&D claimers and improvement upon his last three unplaced turf efforts looks more than likely. Cordouan has gone well fresh before so his long absence isn't a concern. The market should give a good indication as to his chances. Chestnutter went off favourite for a claiming race at Bellewstown and just lost out by half a length in second. She has the ability to get into contention. Macadam's Rock has to give weight away, but has been competing in higher grades and has a shot.

DYNAMIC FORCE is fancied to take a sizeable step forward on his second run for his current yard and regain winning ways in this very open handicap. Cordouan is weighted to go well so rates the chief danger, with Miqdaad and Chica Power also in the mix.

This C&D shows NOTFORALONGTIME in his best light and he has a good record in similar contests; he can overcome a wide draw

TOKENOMICS was noted making up plenty of ground for third over 1m in Leopardstown and ought to come home well from a wide draw. Rebelsontherun has the advantage of having dead-heated over C&D in February. He couldn't land a blow over further on his next start, but a return to form is probable in this company. Handicap debutant Ateenosix, with a hood fitted and a 7lb claimer booked, is one to note. De Janeiro didn't run badly in fifth in a fillies' maiden over C&D last November. She is unexposed and gets a first-time visor.

A competitive 3-y-o event that can go to DE JANEIRO, who could do a lot better now handicapping back up in trip. Tokenomics and Ateenosix are just a couple of the other likely players.

It wan't a bad run against the older horses by \LUXURY ISLAND\p at Down Royal and she might be able to slot into a good position from trap 3

Johnny Murtagh's SHAMSUDDIN looks well worth a go on the Polytrack in a bid to shed his maiden tag. He has been runner-up three times and his sire's progeny have a decent record on all-weather surfaces. Willie Browne and Seamie Heffernan are a more than useful partnership in Dundalk and they team up with Polaris Dancer. He was only beaten half a length and a short head into third over this trip in Limerick and is another making his Polytrack debut. Plenty of headgear is reached for on Il Sovrano after a mid-division finish on debut at the Curragh and there are winners in his pedigree. Shamsuddin's stablemate, Rayzhanka, performed with promise in third over C&D last November and the form is working out well.

SHAMSUDDIN did nothing wrong when finding just one too good again at Gowran and can open his account if proving as effective on the polytrack now. Polaris Dancer and Rayzhanka are likely improvers and set to go well.

We'll take a chance with PRINCESS AUREA, who ran on nicely over 7f at Limerick and can improve again; she's a sister to an AW winner
Class & Speed Card

VENETIAN showed more when beaten less than three lengths into second at Tipperary and into fourth at Listowel, so can be a contender off a mark of 59 on his return to Polytrack. The Bog Bank has won twice over C&D and bounced right back to form in good style at Bellewstown last week. She is racing off 11lb higher, but still looks one of the more likely winners of this contest. Feature This is more than capable of having a say if on a going day. Her form is in and out, though. Stop On Red recovered from a slow start to finish fourth behind The Bog Bank in Bellewstown and would have a chance if breaking better.

SIRJACK THOMAS lurks on a career-low mark and could be worth chancing. The Bog Bank and Venetian are a couple of the other likely players.

The Bog Bank has a good record in this race and won last time, but LAUROLINE has form claims and can be excused recent defeats.
Class & Speed Card

DAONETHATGOTAWAY could be the answer to a tricky contest. He has been placed on his last two visits to Dundalk and won over this trip on turf at Listowel last month. Hurricane Helen has a fondness for 1m in Dundalk and has showed that she can compete off her mark of 63. She wasn't at her best on her latest outing in April, but has been freshened up since. Lohengrin completes the shortlist.

The return to this C&D is sure to show NIBRAS RAINBOW in a much better light so he's the tentative selection in a wide-open handicap. Lohengrin and Leabaland are possible dangers.

Hurricane Helen needs a second look returned to 1m but LOHENGRIN gets the vote after quite an eyecatching last run at Gowran.
Class & Speed Card

PSALM didn't appear to stay the extended 1m4f trip in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal, but this distance is certainly in his ballpark. He was runner-up over similar trips at Cork in April and May, and Jack Cleary takes a useful 7lb off his back. Ozark Daze caught a tartar when a remote second in the Curragh behind a subsequent Group 3 winner. His placed form entitles him to be on the premises here, though. Raydamann finished third behind Ozark Daze in the Curragh and is a well-bred sort, so there should be more to come from her on her third start. Dermot Weld introduces Dubawi colt Tiding who is worth checking for market strength, while Aeronautic and Timurshah are far from out of contention.

Newcomer TIDING ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Aeronautic and Raydamann have both shown promise and, with improvement on the cards, they may emerge as the main dangers ahead of the more established performers Psalm and Ozark Daze.

Aidan O'Brien's PSALM is now 0-5 but deserves another chance in maiden company after patently failing to stay 1m5f on handicap debut.

DARK OAK is of definite interest on handicap debut. She has been placed in two of her outings in maidens and although outgunned in second at Down Royal, the winner has since come home a close fourth in a Group 3. Colin Keane stays loyal from that Down Royal effort. Eskimo Komet has plenty of weight, but could defy it. He was only collared in the closing stages at Limerick and finished third. Prior to that, he performed creditably over C&D on a couple of occasions this year. Bright N Shine has been off since November, but was in good form on the sand when last seen.

DARK OAK has progressed with each start to date, finishing runner-up on her latest outing in a Down Royal maiden, and, very much the type to go on improving now handicapping, she makes appeal again partnered by Colin Keane. The returning Bright N Shine and Wajaaha are others worth a look. Eskimo Komet is another fancied to be on the premises.

A chance is taken on the unexposed AVONDALE who showed promise in maidens and again on his belated return to action over hurdles.
