13:40 Dundalk Maiden 6f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (25/1 +0%) Bella Colombia	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Bella Colombia 25/1, Foaled March 26. The Last Lion filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 1m Bella Brazil and 5f-7f winner Porcupine Creek. Worth a market check. Half-sister to winners in several countries, dam maiden half-sister to a 5f Group 3 winner.
2	3 2nd (3) (0.36/1 +42%) Ashwiyaa	0.36 0.36/1(+42%)	(3) Ashwiyaa 0.36/1, Thrice-raced filly who seemed to excel herself when 4 lengths third of 7 in Group 2 at the Curragh (6f, good) 45 days ago. Has leading claims back in maiden company. Stands out in this company on the basis of 6f Group 2 third at the Curragh, hard to oppose.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/1 -56%) Making Time	7 7/1(-56%)	(8) Making Time 7/1, Bred to be sharp and showed plenty of ability when third of 6 on debut at Naas in May. Went backwards up in grade there next time but could get back on track now returned to calmer waters after a break. Two Naas runs, showed ability first time out, sights lowered after ambitious Group 3 bid.
4	11 4th (11) (12/1 +14%) Smart Impression	12 12/1(+14%)	(11) Smart Impression 12/1, 150/1, again shaped well when 7½ lengths seventh of 13 in Fillies' Sprint Stakes at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 150/1) 86 days ago, unable to sustain effort. No forlorn hope back down in grade. Two runs at Naas in May, set a very stiff task in a Group 3 contest, possible nursery type.
5th	4 5th (4) (250/1 -67%) Promo Queen	250 250/1(-67%)	(4) Promo Queen 250/1, Well held in novice event/maiden. Has finished with only one behind her in each of her two races at Leopardstown.
6th	6 6th (6) (6.5/1 +13%) Byzantine Empress	6.5 6.5/1(+13%)	(6) Byzantine Empress 6.5/1, Lightly-raced filly. 9/1, good second of 13 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good) 60 days ago. Should give her running but vulnerable from a win point of view. Fair placed form at Listowel and Fairyhouse, would receive 22lb from Ashwiyaa in a nursery.
7th	2 7th (2) (33/1 -50%) Special Angel	33 33/1(-50%)	(2) Special Angel 33/1, Foaled February 11. €42,000 yearling, El Kabeir filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 7f The Lir Jet and winner up to 6f Fast Dreams. Dam 6f winner. Noteworthy as a half-sister to Norfolk Stakes winner The Lir Jet who was a debut scorer.
8th	13 8th (13) (50/1 +0%) Go On Go On Uhavit	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Go On Go On Uhavit 50/1, Once-raced filly. 200/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 3 days ago. Reappears three days after finishing ninth of 14 behind a top prospect at the Curragh.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 -12%) Masonbrook Meadow	28 28/1(-12%)	(9) Masonbrook Meadow 28/1, Went backwards from an encouraging debut when eleventh of 16 in maiden (8/1) at Cork (6f, good) 18 days ago. Quite promising in 5f Naas maiden on debut, failed to run to the same level at Cork.
10th	7 10th (7) (33/1 -50%) Hispanolita	33 33/1(-50%)	(7) Hispanolita 33/1, 14/1, went backwards from debut when ninth of 12 in minor event at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 54 days ago. Ran green when a fair fourth over 6f on debut, not as good over 7f on her second start.
11th	1 11th (1) (28/1 +15%) Avanti Avana	28 28/1(+15%)	(1) Avanti Avana 28/1, Foaled January 24. 27,000 gns foal, Havana Gold filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Escalating and smart winner up to 1m Amabilis. Not badly bred and could go well on debut. Half-sister to a couple of multiple winners, best of them useful turf/AW winner Amabilis.
12th	5 12th (5) (80/1 +0%) Soiree Dansante	80 80/1(+0%)	(5) Soiree Dansante 80/1, 80/1, looked badly in need of the experience when ninth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) on debut 33 days ago. Slowly away and never in the hunt over a longer trip first time out, safe to rule out.

LTO Selection:

The 92-rated ASHWIYAA has been found an excellent opportunity to shed her maiden tag. Michael O'Callaghan's filly was somewhat unfortunate to bump into a couple of above-average juveniles in her first two starts, then acquitted herself well when third in a Group 2. With nothing of that calibre in this modest contest, it would be a surprise if she can't get her head in front. Smart Impression ran better than the bare form suggested on her racecourse debut at Naas, before finding herself drawn on the wrong side when stepped up into Group company at that same track. Making Time, who finished third on her introduction at Naas in May, was behind Smart Impression on her most recent start. Debutant Special Angel is worth a second look in the market given her connections' success with juveniles this season.

ASHWIYAA showed improved form when third in a Group 2 at the Curragh early last month and ought to be capable of winning a race of this nature on that showing. Making Time could get her career back on track now returning to calmer waters after a break, while Smart Impression isn't without hope either having shaped quite well on both her starts to date.

This should be straightforward for ASHWIYAA who held her own in a Group 2 Curragh event won by a smart filly from Ballydoyle

13:40 Dundalk Maiden 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:10 Dundalk Handicap 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	6 1st (6) (7.5/1 +53%) Hispanic	7.5 7.5/1(+53%)	(6) Hispanic 7.5/1, Twelfth of 20 in handicap (22/1) at the Curragh (6.3f, soft) 24 days ago. Makes polytrack debut with more needed. Has run in three big-value handicaps, coming down in the ratings, premature to write off.
2	2 2nd (2) (1.88/1 +53%) Dandyville	1.88 1.88/1(+53%)	(2) Dandyville 1.88/1, C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/1, good second of 13 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 45 days ago, keeping on well. Can make presence felt. Good overall strike rate (6-20), 2-6 at this venue, went close at the Curragh last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (4.5/1 +18%) Queen Maedbh	4.5 4.5/1(+18%)	(5) Queen Maedbh 4.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Respectable second of 6 in minor event at Fairyhouse (6f, good to firm, 13/8) 67 days ago. Can give a good account. C&D maiden winner at two, leading contender on the basis of her last two placed efforts.
4	9 4th (9) (8/1 +60%) Dontspoilasale	8 8/1(+60%)	(9) Dontspoilasale 8/1, Below form seventh of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Cork (5f, good) 18 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Definite chance if reproducing the form of his second over 5f here on his penultimate run.
5th	7 5th (7) (40/1 -371%) Apricot Twist	40 40/1(-371%)	(7) Apricot Twist 40/1, Blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 12/1) 48 days ago. More is required. No further success since debut win, looks held by Dontspoilasale on Naas running.
6th	3 6th (3) (33/1 -175%) Mickey The Steel	33 33/1(-175%)	(3) Mickey The Steel 33/1, C&D winner. Fourteenth of 15 in handicap (22/1) at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 81 days ago. Weighted to go well if shrugging off latest effort. C&D maiden winner, 2-28 on turf but placed 12 times, others make more appeal.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 -64%) Mehman	9 9/1(-64%)	(4) Mehman 9/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win here in February. 50/1, eleventh of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (6.3f, soft) 24 days ago, not ideally placed. One to consider. Winner of three of his four starts over 5f at this venue, can improve on recent turf form.
8th	13 8th (13) (8/1 +20%) Livingston Range	8 8/1(+20%)	(13) Livingston Range 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Naas in July. Good second of 19 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 11/1) 3 days ago. Visor on 1st time and well in the mix 6lb out of the handicap but set for a rise after going close at the Curragh on Saturday.
9th	8 9th (8) (16/1 -100%) Tai Sing Yeh	16 16/1(-100%)	(8) Tai Sing Yeh 16/1, 4-time C&D winner. 3 wins from 17 runs this year. Career best when winning 15-runner handicap (14/1) at Naas (5.9f, soft) 20 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Durable four-time course winner has been running well on turf, up 6lb for Naas win.
10th	1 10th (1) (8.5/1 -70%) Harry's Bar	8.5 8.5/1(-70%)	(1) Harry's Bar 8.5/1, 4-time C&D winner. Fourteen wins from 47 Flat runs. Latest win here in February. 4/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at this course (5f) 34 days ago. Considered. Prolific AW winner, 7-13 at this venue, won this last year and is 4lb lower now.
11th	10 11th (10) (125/1 -25%) Wild Mountain	125 125/1(-25%)	(10) Wild Mountain 125/1, First run since leaving Paul & Oliver Cole when last of 14 in handicap (100/1) at Leopardstown (8f, good) 33 days ago. Down in trip with work to do. Kempton winner over this trip for the Coles in 2021, never involved over 1m on Irish debut.
12th	12 12th (12) (40/1 +0%) Coolcalmncollected	40 40/1(+0%)	(12) Coolcalmncollected 40/1, C&D winner. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Galway (7f, heavy, 16/1) 15 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Won twice over C&D late last year, up against it now from 6lb out of the handicap.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (18/1 +0%) Cash Or Crypto	18 18/1(+0%)	(11) Cash Or Crypto 18/1, 11/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, refused to race in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Unreliable sort. Stood in the stalls at Naas last time, 11-2 chance then after Curragh third, 4lb wrong now.

LTO Selection:

HARRY'S BAR can enhance his fine record at this track by conceding weight to all. The Ado McGuinness-trained eight-year-old found everything happening a bit too quick over 5f here last time, but will be more at home at this distance. Cian MacRedmond claims a valuable 5lb off the Exceed And Excel gelding's welter burden. Tai Sing Yeh returned to something like his best when successful on turf at Naas so the five-time all-weather winner has to be a contender, despite the step up in grade. Queen Maedbh, a C&D maiden winner back in November, looks best of the three-year-old representatives. The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly, who was just touched off by an improving sprinter at Fairyhouse last time, has more scope for improvement than most in this field.

TAI SING YEH comes here on the back of a career-best Naas success so this multiple C&D winner gets the verdict in a competitive handicap. Fellow C&D scorer Dandyville is feared most, although Mickey The Steel is weighted to have a big say too if on his A-game.

An unchanged mark of 91 following her Fairyhouse second gives QUEEN MAEDBH a possible edge over several useful older rivals

14:10 Dundalk Handicap 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

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

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (2.5/1 +29%) Signatory	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(7) Signatory 2.5/1, Promising individual. Fifth of 11 in maiden (7/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft), unable to sustain effort. Off 91 days. Likely to improve. Good introduction over 1m here in January, failed to match that form at Killlarney.
2	5 2nd (5) (3.2/1 -42%) Not Forgotten	3.2 3.2/1(-42%)	(5) Not Forgotten 3.2/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Eighth of 11 in maiden (11/8) at Tipperary (7.5f, good) 77 days ago but claims on his third here prior to that. Place chance on the basis of his third here in April, disappointing favourite at Tipperary.
3	8 3rd (8) (1.25/1 +50%) Agia	1.25 1.25/1(+50%)	(8) Agia 1.25/1, Promising sort. Third of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 20/1) on debut 34 days ago. Open to progress. Made an encouraging start to his career when third over 1m here last month, should improve.
4	6 4th (6) (8/1 -33%) Roman Harry	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Roman Harry 8/1, Once-raced gelding. 6/5, third of 11 in claimer at Fairyhouse (10f, good) on debut 34 days ago. Down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Ger Lyons. Should progress. Well fancied for a 1m2f claimer on only run for Ger Lyons, did not stay but showed ability.

6th	1 6th (1) (250/1 -67%) Dawn Noir	250 250/1(-67%)	(1) Dawn Noir 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. Last of 17 in maiden at Leopardstown (10f, good to soft, 250/1) 26 days ago. Down in trip. Has finished last on his first two outings, can be ruled out.
7th	9 7th (9) (200/1 -33%) Angel Of The Sea	200 200/1(-33%)	(9) Angel Of The Sea 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1 and hooded for 1st time, tenth of 16 in maiden at the Curragh (7f, heavy). Off 143 days. Soundly beaten on her first two starts, trainer has a better chance with Brave Thought.
8th	4 8th (4) (16/1 -88%) Lope De Rueda	16 16/1(-88%)	(4) Lope De Rueda 16/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Hooded for 1st time, tenth of 14 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 14/1) 34 days ago, slowly away. Best of his three runs over 7f at the Curragh, his 72 rating unlikely to be enough here.
9th	3 9th (3) (33/1 +0%) Thunder Gatti	33 33/1(+0%)	(3) Thunder Gatti 33/1, Tagula gelding. Half-brother to 8.4f winner Marmalade N Toast and 6f winner Reeking Havoc. Dam unraced half-sister to winner up to 9.5f Rainbow Crossing. Half-sister to two minor winners, dam an unraced half-sister to a French AW Listed winner.
10th	14 10th (14) (150/1 +0%) Taxiing	150 150/1(+0%)	(14) Taxiing 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 150/1, last of 14 in maiden at this course (10.7f) 34 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. In rear at Gowran on debut, saddle slipped when a 150-1 chance here a month ago.
11th	10 11th (10) (33/1 +0%) Arturo Bay	33 33/1(+0%)	(10) Arturo Bay 33/1, €4,000 yearling, Anjaal filly. Half-sister to minor winners abroad by Sea The Stars and Dream Ahead. Dam Italian winner up to 11f (2-y-o 1m winner). Half-sister to winners on the continent, dam a half-sister to an Italian Oaks runner-up.
12th	12 12th (12) (250/1 -150%) Mayo Dawn	250 250/1(-150%)	(12) Mayo Dawn 250/1, Lightly-raced filly. Last of 11 in maiden (200/1) at the Curragh (7f, soft) 24 days ago. Has shown no sign of winning potential in four outings, safe to rule out.
13th	2 13th (2) (200/1 -300%) Ginnos Port	200 200/1(-300%)	(2) Ginnos Port 200/1, Portage gelding. Dam unraced. Wears hood. Winning jumpers close up in the pedigree, hooded for debut, best watched.
14th	13 14th (13) (50/1 +24%) Tarfeh	50 50/1(+24%)	(13) Tarfeh 50/1, Last of 7 in maiden at Deauville (6f, good, 82/10). Off 12 months. Wears blinkers. Eased when chance had gone at Deauville on only start at two, blinkered for Irish debut.

LTO Selection:

NOT FORGOTTEN would be a warm order here had the Michael Halford and Tracey Collins-trained gelding not run on turf at Tipperary last time. The bare form of his previous start, when third over a mile at this track in April, looks particularly strong given subsequent events. Although nothing was found to explain that latest below-par run, the fact he has been off the track since May suggests that something may have been discovered. The John Joseph Murphy-trained Signatory, who was runner-up here in January, made a satisfactory reappearance at Killarney in May. He should be sharper now as a result of that run. Agia is another with solid placed form at this venue having finished third on debut last month. The Ger Lyons-trained filly is another with leading claims in a wide-open contest.

AGIA shaped encouragingly on her course debut last month and can get off the mark at the second time of asking with improvement on the cards. Not Forgotten was third on his previous visit here and is feared most ahead of Signatory.

Ger Lyons has a strong contender in AGIA who weakened into third in a 1m maiden here last month. Not Forgotten is a likely danger

14:40 Dundalk Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

6th	5 6th (5) (18/1 -29%) Navajo Scout	18 18/1(-29%)	(5) Navajo Scout 18/1, Foaled February 18. 55,000 gns yearling, Showcasing colt. Half-brother to 1m-1¼m winner Desert Lion and 7f-1m winner Ayr Harbour, both useful. Dam 2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner. Half-brother to two winners including five-time AW winner Ayr Harbour.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 -203%) Mexican Joe	200 200/1(-203%)	(4) Mexican Joe 200/1, Foaled January 6. Raa Atoll colt. Dam ran once. 25/1, fifth of 6 in maiden at Galway (8.3f, soft) on debut 10 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Well beaten fifth of six on heavy ground at Galway.
8th	11 8th (11) (125/1 +0%) Finsceal Annie	125 125/1(+0%)	(11) Finsceal Annie 125/1, Once-raced filly. Ninth of 14 in maiden at Gowran (7f, soft, 80/1) on debut 17 days ago. Well beaten on soft ground on last month's debut at Gowran.

LTO Selection:

The O'Brien family hold the key to this maiden and NOR TIME NOR TIDE is taken to score after a pleasing debut at Killarney. Joseph O'Brien's colt chased home a previous maiden winner who went on to be runner-up in Listed company last week, and he is the only one of these who has been entered in a Group race. Huxley steps up to a mile for the first time after finishing fourth to exciting prospect City Of Troy at the Curragh. On pedigree, he should appreciate the longer trip and is likely to be fighting out the finish. Ballydoyle's newcomer Capulet is bred in the purple and is a half-brother to a juvenile maiden winner over 7f. He missed an engagement at Newmarket last month so may be fairly forward and his trainer won this with a classy sort last year.

A mixed bag and not hard to rule out almost half the field. NOR TIME NOR TIDE showed more than enough on debut to suggest he'll win one of these, and this looks a good opportunity, unless newcomer Capulet proves to be something out of the ordinary. Huxley likely remains with improvement in him and can make it a 1-2-3 for the O'Briens.

Group 2 entrant NOR TIME NOR TIDE chased home a smart sort at Killarney and can get the better of Huxley and newcomer Huxley

8th	11 8th (11) (5.5/1 -22%) Numidia	5.5 5.5/1(-22%)	(11) Numidia 5.5/1, C&D winner. One win from 21 Flat runs. 11/2, good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 34 days ago. One to consider. Close-up fourth at Leopardstown; only beaten a length over C&D last time.
9th	3 9th (3) (11/1 +67%) James Henry	11 11/1(+67%)	(3) James Henry 11/1, First run since leaving Denis Hogan when last of 14 in handicap at Down Royal (10.3f, good, 22/1) 52 days ago. Back down in trip and cheekpieces back on. Second over C&D last year; chased home well-treated rival at Gowran; poor latest.
10th	4 10th (4) (7/1 +7%) Boadicea Belle	7 7/1(+7%)	(4) Boadicea Belle 7/1, 11/1, respectable third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 34 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Has good chance on pick of form. Beaten less than 2l over C&D last month and now tried in blinkers.
11th	10 11th (10) (9/1 +18%) Queen Mab	9 9/1(+18%)	(10) Queen Mab 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 15 in handicap (13/2) at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and claims if she takes to this surface. Third over 1m at Bellewstown and closely matched with Lasting Peace on that form.
12th	8 12th (8) (16/1 -256%) Kudbegood	16 16/1(-256%)	(8) Kudbegood 16/1, Three-time C&D winner. Good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D (4/1). Off 7 months but will be a threat if fully tuned-up. Winner and second over C&D during the winter but off seven months.
13th	2 13th (2) (50/1 -100%) The Blue Panther	50 50/1(-100%)	(2) The Blue Panther 50/1, 16/1, fifteenth of 18 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft) 20 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. Poor form recently and hard to fancy; yard's jumpers in fine form.
14th	14 14th (14) (50/1 -25%) Twins For Joy	50 50/1(-25%)	(14) Twins For Joy 50/1, Ninth of 18 in handicap (25/1) at Naas (8f, soft) 20 days ago. Readily passed over. Ran okay in 2yo maiden here but not much worthwhile form since then.

LTO Selection:

He is drawn wider than ideal, but NUMIDIA comes here in good form and can gain a second C&D victory. A winner here in February, Peter Lawlor's gelding was an unlucky fourth at Leopardstown in June before finding only one too good off this mark here last month. There was only half a length between Lasting Peace and Queen Mab when they were placed at Bellewstown. Both are lightly-raced three-year-olds with scope for improvement, although neither has run on the all-weather to date. Punk Poet is a three-time C&D winner who has come down a lot in the ratings. He showed more at Bellewstown two starts back and should be competitive in this grade.

Preference is for LASTING PEACE, who posted his best effort yet in first-time blinkers (retained here) when runner-up at Bellewstown last month. The booking of Colin Keane adds to his appeal and he should go close off the same mark here, provided he is able to build on that now switched to this surface. Boadicea Belle is equipped with blinkers for the first time herself and looks dangerous having returned to form when third over C&D last time. Numidia and Punk Poet are others to consider.

He's drawn wider than ideal but NUMIDIA come here in good form and can gain a second C&D success

Fair sixth of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Can give a good account. C&D winner off 52; scored off same mark at Bellewstown last month; still fairly treated.

7th	2 7th (2) (6/1 +8%) Morning Approach	6 6/1(+8%)	(2) Morning Approach 6/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Good third of 17 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 12/1) 20 days ago, nearest finish. Not taken lightly. Couple of good runs this year including latest third of 17 at Naas; course winner.
8th	12 8th (12) (11/1 -57%) Tynamite	11 11/1(-57%)	(12) Tynamite 11/1, 5-time course winner. Excellent third of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Killarney (8.2f, good) 27 days ago.

12th	11 12th (11) (25/1 -25%) Turbo Sprint	25 25/1(-25%)	(11) Turbo Sprint 25/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, only tenth of 15 to Fleetfootsoldier in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft, 6/1) 40 days ago. More is needed. Eyecatching fourth at Leopardstown, disappointed behind Fleetfootsoldier at Bellewstown.
13th	7 13th (7) (5/1 -11%) Alfarida	5 5/1(-11%)	(7) Alfarida 5/1, Winner at Roscommon in June. 8/1, good second of 13 in handicap at this C&D 34 days ago. Can go well again. 7f winner at Roscommon in June; beaten a whisker over C&D last time, up 2lb.
14th	13 14th (13) (100/1 -25%) Sioux Grit	100 100/1(-25%)	(13) Sioux Grit 100/1, First run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell when sixteenth of 18 in handicap at Naas (8f, soft, 100/1) 20 days ago. Needs a big step forward. 5yo has shown very little and impossible to make a case for her.

LTO Selection:

ALFARIDA, a winner over 7f at Roscommon in June, has finished runner-up on three occasions at Dundalk. She was caught on the line when beaten just a nose over this trip here last month and can go one better off a 2lb higher mark. Fleetfootsoldier has recorded two wins and a second from five starts in handicaps and was a C&D winner in March. He's 7lb higher now but is open to more improvement. The Bog Bank put in a below-par display at Gowran but is generally a very consistent performer. She registered her second C&D victory last month and regular rider James Ryan, partnering her for the 40th time, usually gets a good tune out of her.

Lots with chances. TYNAMITE has a superb course record and also rates the pick of these weights on the back of his excellent Killarney third so is taken to edge out Alfarida who just missed out over C&D last month. Morning Approach is another with winning form at the track who commands lots of respect.

Plenty with chances but ALFARIDA was beaten by the narrowest of margins here last month and can go one better

Off 165 days. Blinkers on 1st time. Looks competitive on form. Well beaten on stable debut over 2m here in March; now blinkered.

LTO Selection:

GOLDEN TWILIGHT landed this feature race 12 months ago and subsequently struck for the fourth time at this venue when holding off stablemate Ceallach last autumn. The selection has been consistent in top handicap company this year and should be suited by this drop back in trip. Higher Kingdom and Jungle Cove are closely matched on running behind Alanya in the 1m2f Ladies Derby at the Curragh last month. Save Your Love gained compensation for an unlucky run at the Curragh when scoring at Leopardstown, while C&D winner Burren Song ran too badly to be true in the valuable amateur riders' handicap at Galway.

The suggestion is GOLDEN TWILIGHT who has been successful on his last 4 visits here and arrives on the back of a good third at the Curragh last month. John McConnell's Higher Kingdom is another with a good record here and is second choice ahead of last month's Leopardstown scorer Save Your Love.

Michael Halford runs two and, although Ronan Whelan is on Ceallach, last year's winner GOLDEN TWILIGHT makes plenty of appeal

13th	6 13th (6) (25/1 +0%) Susie Wosie	25 25/1(+0%)	(6) Susie Wosie 25/1, Thrice-raced winner. 16/1, first run since leaving Noel Meade when sixth of 8 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.4f, good to soft) 22 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Won a claiming race at Fairyhouse, never seemed to be going well at Ballinrobe; headgear.

LTO Selection:

BRIGHT N SHINE has gone close on his latest two outings and has scope for further improvement, with this drop in trip likely to suit. He was caught close home over 1m3f at Killarney before finding 1m5f just too far at Down Royal, and the booking of Colin Keane adds to confidence. Shining Aitch has shown promise over similar trips this summer and is another to consider along with the Luke Comer-trained pair Dark Street and Nevada Brave, who both won over C&D last winter. French Company has won twice at this venue and returns to the Polytrack after a promising run on turf when third to Belgoprince at Tipperary.

Preference is for KARTAYAZ, who returned to form at Hamilton last time and is only 2 lb above his last winning mark. Bright N Shine and French Company can also make their presence felt.

Colin Keane is a significant booking for BRIGHT N SHINE whose last two outings on turf provide grounds for thinking he can win a race

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.
