13:45 Dundalk 6f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	5 1st (5) (10/3 -11%) Sporting Hero	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(5) Sporting Hero 10/3, Won this last year; every chance but a bit below form when beaten 5l in a handicap over 5f at The Curragh last time; effective 5-6f; appears better on this surface; could be fairly treated dropping in grade. Last year's winner with big chance at the weights, further aided by rider's 10lb claim.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +27%) Dontspoilasale	4 4/1(+27%)	(4) Dontspoilasale 4/1, Yard won this last year; beaten 10l in a handicap over 7f here last time; effective 5-6f, best at 6f, barely stays 7f; remains well treated on old form but recent form has tailed off. Didn't get home here on latest over 7f; one to consider at the weights back in trip.
3	9 3rd (9) (11/2 +50%) Gordon Bennett	5.5 11/2(+50%)	(9) Gordon Bennett 11/2, Outpaced and never threatened when down the field in a handicap at The Curragh last time; best at sprint trips; on a long losing run but has dropped a long way in the weights. Has only run once here before when midfield in 7f claimer in August; others preferred.
4	6 4th (6) (13/2 +54%) Just Jump	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(6) Just Jump 13/2, Yard won this last year; far too free up in trip, did not get home when down the field in a handicap over 8f here last time; cheekpieces first time; effective 5-6f; inconsistent, but drop in trip and grade should help. Cheekpieces now tried and yard seemingly have stronger contenders.
5th	14 5th (14) (8/1 +43%) Winemaker	8 8/1(+43%)	(14) Winemaker 8/1, Well backed off a career-low mark but below form when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time; inconsistent. Down to an enticing mark now but would be of more interest in a handicap.
5th	2 5th (2) (33/1 -200%) Green Icon	33 33/1(-200%)	(2) Green Icon 33/1, Yard won this last year; far too free when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 8f here last time; wide draw; appears best at 1m; inconsistent of late. Excuses here last time but drop in trip and wide draw may not favour him.
7th	3 7th (3) (10/3 +5%) Velvet Skies	3.333333 10/3(+5%)	(3) Velvet Skies 10/3, Improved on recent form appreciating the stiff track down in trip when winning a handicap at Navan by 1/2l last time; best at 6f; back in form and fairly treated on these terms. Recent Navan winner ran well here five days earlier; definite player.
8th	12 8th (12) (18/1 -29%) Port Louis	18 18/1(-29%)	(12) Port Louis 18/1, Never competitive when down the field in a handicap over 8f here last time; effective 7-8f; fair mark but form has been in and out of late. Hampered when never featuring here last week; not sure this drop in trip will suit.
9th	8 9th (8) (100/1 -52%) Munroh	100 100/1(-52%)	(8) Munroh 100/1, Never competitive after missing the break when down the field in a claimer over 8f here last time; wide draw; effective at 1m; out of form since moving from France. Last of 14 in 1m claimer here last week, very hard to fancy.
10th	13 10th (13) (50/1 +24%) Spirit Of Eagles	50 50/1(+24%)	(13) Spirit Of Eagles 50/1, Too much to do after meeting trouble when beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; effective 5-7f; inconsistent and losing run a concern. Bits and pieces of form this year off lowly mark, has plenty on at these weights.
11th	15 11th (15) (100/1 -25%) Browned Off	100 100/1(-25%)	(15) Browned Off 100/1, May have found the ground too soft when down the field in a handicap at Navan last time; visor first time; effective 6-7f; needs to build on recent revival. AW form doesn't appeal; visor replaces blinkers; reserve.
12th	11 12th (11) (33/1 -83%) Never Not Lucky	33 33/1(-83%)	(11) Never Not Lucky 33/1, Up in trip and may not have stayed when down the field in a handicap over 7f at Fairyhouse last time; returning from a break; wide draw; effective at 6f; inconsistent in a short career and faces a stiff task on these terms. Juvenile promise but below form in just two starts this year; not one to rule out though.
13th	1 13th (1) (33/1 -371%) Agostino	33 33/1(-371%)	(1) Agostino 33/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 2 1/4l in a handicap over 5f at Lingfield last time; off a short break; effective from 5f to 6f on a sound surface; now below last winning mark and back in form. Chelmsford winner; good draw on yard debut but looks to have a bit to do on ratings.

SPORTING HERO has to be of interest dropping into a claimer. It was only in July that he was competing in a quality 5f handicap at this venue (beaten just over five lengths in seventh). He has an excellent record in Dundalk with four victories, including a couple over this trip. Velvet Skies got back to winning ways in a handicap at Navan and has plenty of Polytrack form in Dundalk to advertise his chance. He delivered in a handicap over C&D in March and represents an in-form team. Four-time Chelmsford City winner Agostino has a chance on his Irish debut, while Lismacbryan Hill has place prospects.

Last year's winner SPORTING HERO can repeat the feat with a 10lb claimer booked

13:45 Dundalk 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:15 Dundalk 6f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (14/1 +65%) Back To Me	14 14/1(+65%)	(7) Back To Me 14/1, Made a modest debut when well beaten in a maiden over 7f at Naas on only start. Bred to be suited by around 1m and may need more time to develop. No impact on debut at Naas when sent off at 40-1; hard to fancy on the back of that effort.
2	10 2nd (10) (13/2 +28%) My Cubby Bear	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(10) My Cubby Bear 13/2, Ran well to a point on debut when beaten 9 1/4l in a maiden over 7f at The Curragh. Trainer in form; wide draw; has speed in pedigree and could improve for the drop back in trip. Mild debut promise last month at the Curragh; not one to rule out back in trip on AW debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/4 +0%) Allsortz	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(1) Allsortz 11/4, Ran to form when beaten 5 1/4l in a nursery at Cork last time. Effective from 6f to 7f, acts on good ground. The mark looks tough but he should remain competitive at this level. Possibly needed comeback run (gelded) in Cork nursery last time; place claims on AW debut.
4	12 4th (12) (10/3 -142%) White Smoke	3.333333 10/3(-142%)	(12) White Smoke 10/3, Had every chance but ran a little below form when beaten 6l in an auction race at Navan last time. Was in good form prior and had been progressing; could bounce back here. Excuses last time; sets a clear standard here on earlier Curragh form.
5th	5 5th (5) (2/1 +69%) Coincidental Glory	2 2/1(+69%)	(5) Coincidental Glory 2/1, Outpaced and below form when beaten 6 1/4l in a nursery at Naas last time. Effective over 6f, needs a drop in grade to be more competitive. Too keen over C&D two starts back so needs to settle better.
6th	6 6th (6) (8/1 +50%) Leveraging	8 8/1(+50%)	(6) Leveraging 8/1, Did plenty early from a poor draw when beaten 8 1/4l in a maiden at The Curragh last time. Effective at 6f and needs one more run for a mark. Hasn't looked the most straightforward on turf but has ability and potential improver.
7th	4 7th (4) (200/1 -400%) Pass The Buck	200 200/1(-400%)	(4) Pass The Buck 200/1, Outpaced and unsuited by the drop in trip, finishing down the field in a maiden over 7f at Galway last time. From a top course trainer, wide draw, bred to need further than 1m; may find this too sharp. Never sighted on both runs, debut here when slow to break; best watched for now.
8th	9 8th (9) (50/1 +24%) Gal	50 50/1(+24%)	(9) Gal 50/1, Failed to build on debut when finishing down the field in an auction race over 8f at Tipperary last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time; effective 6-7f, not bred for further, and one for lower-grade handicaps. Well held both starts over the summer; tongue-tie now tried for AW debut.
9th	2 9th (2) (40/1 -60%) Arctic Assassin	40 40/1(-60%)	(2) Arctic Assassin 40/1, Improved from debut when beaten 8l in a maiden over 8f at The Curragh last time. Trained by a top course trainer, stamina on the sire's side; in good hands but may need more time. Curragh run a step in the right direction although more likely need to play a major role.
10th	8 10th (8) (100/1 -25%) Spiced Gold	100 100/1(-25%)	(8) Spiced Gold 100/1, Improved slightly from debut, just tiring late on when beaten 9 1/2l in a maiden over 7f here last time. Effective at 7f, needs to improve to get off the mark. Well held both starts, latest after forcing much of pace here over 7f last month.
11th	3 11th (3) (150/1 -127%) Musashi	150 150/1(-127%)	(3) Musashi 150/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability. From a top course trainer, bred to need further than 1m in time, and best watched for now. Beaten a long way in two turf maidens; needs to improve considerably on switch to AW.

WHITE SMOKE could take a bit of beating if adapting to the surface. She holds a rating of 84 and receives weight from all bar one of her rivals. There were excuses when she was a beaten favourite in fifth in Navan and her two runner-up berths in Curragh maidens before that merit plenty of respect. My Cubby Bear drops back in trip on her first visit to Dundalk after weakening into sixth in the closing stages over 7f at the Curragh. She is likely to improve upon that finish. Allsortz has a lot of experience to call upon and, with best finishes of fourth in Fairyhouse and Bellewstown, ought to be involved. Navan third Velvet Reign is another to consider.

Twice runner-up in Curragh maidens, WHITE SMOKE (nap) sets a clear standard here and should be hard to beat off a low weight

14:15 Dundalk 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:45 Dundalk 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	7 1st (7) (15/8 +46%) Beautiful Affair	1.875 15/8(+46%)	(7) Beautiful Affair 15/8, Disappointing down in grade when beaten 9 1/2l in a claimer here last time; had been in good form beforehand; blinkers first time and from a top course trainer; effective at 7-8f; has experience but can be frustrating, competitive in this modest maiden. Below best in C&D claimer latest but claims on her best form; rider's claim a positive.
2	10 2nd (10) (9/2 +18%) Ready To Mingle	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(10) Ready To Mingle 9/2, Failed to build on debut when down the field in a maiden at Naas last time; effective at 7f but her previous form has taken some knocks and she needs more. Roscommon debut promise not replicated at Naas; improvement needed.
3	1 3rd (1) (13/8 +0%) Local Lad	1.625 13/8(+0%)	(1) Local Lad 13/8, May have found the ground a bit testing when well beaten in a maiden at Galway last time; effective from 8f to 10f and could bounce back, setting the standard on his best maiden form. Soft/heavy ground may not have suited the last twice; may improve on return to AW.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +64%) Zesty Belle	9 9/1(+64%)	(6) Zesty Belle 9/1, 15,000 euros Tamayuz filly; half-sister to Raajil, very useful at 7f; dam very useful at 10f; looks an unlikely winner on debut. Tamayuz filly likely best watched on belated debut.
5th	11 5th (11) (80/1 -21%) Spirit Of Indalo	80 80/1(-21%)	(11) Spirit Of Indalo 80/1, Poor debut when well beaten in a maiden at Naas on only start; likely to want at least 7f and looks up against it on that evidence. 66-1 when tailed-off last at Naas last month (7f, yielding) after a slow start.
6th	8 6th (8) (13/2 +0%) La Flute	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(8) La Flute 13/2, Failed to build on stable debut when well beaten in a maiden over 6f here last time; effective at 6-7f in France and on the all-weather; needs to bounce back. Hampered here last time, place claims on previous Fairyhouse run.
7th	9 7th (9) (125/1 -25%) Lo Tengo Claro	125 125/1(-25%)	(9) Lo Tengo Claro 125/1, Outpaced and never threatened when down the field in a claimer here most recently; has speed in the pedigree but yet to show anything, beating only three home in four runs. Poor form in maidens and most recently in C&D claimer last month.
8th	2 8th (2) (50/1 +24%) Phidias Ovation	50 50/1(+24%)	(2) Phidias Ovation 50/1, Outpaced and poor debut when well beaten in a maiden over 8f at Naas on only start; a slight drop in trip may help but he still has plenty to prove. Behind throughout on last month's Naas debut; best watched.
9th	5 9th (5) (150/1 -50%) One For Teigan	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) One For Teigan 150/1, Never involved when down the field in a maiden at Galway last time; yet to show any worthwhile ability. Behind throughout on all three runs, first two last year for Richard O'Donohoe.

This could be the day for LOCAL LAD to make the breakthrough. When he began his career with a close fourth in a Group 3 at the Curragh last year behind the top-class Arizona Blaze and Camille Pissarro, you would have got big odds on him being a maiden at this stage. There have been good placed efforts since and he didn't run badly in fourth in a conditions race on the all-weather at Kempton in March. Beautiful Affair has previously shown ability on the Polytrack and Julian Pietropaolo's 7lb claim has her weighted to be competitive against Local Lad. She gets first-time blinkers. Ready To Mingle is related to all-weather winners and is a potential improver.

TOKYO TREASURE found the stiff Navan mile too much last time but his previous Down Royal third gives him strong claims

14:45 Dundalk 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

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

Info	Form	Odds
1	14 1st (14) (10/1 +44%) Enthusiastically	10 10/1(+44%)	(14) Enthusiastically 10/1, Below form up in grade when beaten 8l in a nursery over 6f at The Curragh last time; returns from a short break; effective at 6f though not certain to stay further, and has struggled since going handicapping. Has looked limited in five runs so far, twice in handicaps; new headgear combination tried.
2	12 2nd (12) (9/1 +10%) Monvoe	9 9/1(+10%)	(12) Monvoe 9/1, Ran to current form up in trip when beaten 3 1/2l off 57 over 6f here last time; effective from 5f to 8f; appears flattered by one standout maiden run. No threat in both handicaps over shorter; back up in trip now.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/2 0%) Badger's Cove	3.5 7/2(0%)	(9) Badger's Cove 7/2, Ran to form when 2l third in a claimer at Fairyhouse last time; effective from 7f to 1m and may do better in handicaps. Claimed for 6,000euros after unlucky third in Fairyhouse claimer; gelded since.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 +58%) John La Bear	14 14/1(+58%)	(8) John La Bear 14/1, Up in trip and probably failed to stay when down the field in a nursery over 8f at Naas last time; trainer in form; effective at 6f and may get slightly further despite speedy breeding; yet to build on promising debut. 1m could have been too far last time; back to 7f for AW debut; yard flying.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 -38%) Sup Of Red	9 9/1(-38%)	(6) Sup Of Red 9/1, Had every chance but ran a bit below form when beaten 4l off 64 over 6f at Cork last time; in fair form but not certain to stay the extra distance. Solid runs in all 3 handicaps on turf over shorter; shapes as though this trip will suit.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/1 -211%) One Cool Bear	7 7/1(-211%)	(4) One Cool Bear 7/1, Improved when back down in trip, beaten 1/2l off 61 over 6f here last time; inconsistent but on a fair mark if able to build on that effort. Good second here last month over 6f; 3lb higher now and upped in trip.
7th	10 7th (10) (11/2 +54%) Stone Bear	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(10) Stone Bear 11/2, Not knocked about after meeting trouble when running to form in an auction race over 6f at Naas last time; trainer in form; returns from a short break and looks fairly treated, with potential to progress in handicaps. Potential improver entering handicaps from in-form yard.
8th	13 8th (13) (16/1 +20%) Parallax	16 16/1(+20%)	(13) Parallax 16/1, Far too keen and failed to stay when comfortably held in a maiden at Leopardstown last time; tongue-tie applied for the first time; pedigree suggests sprint distances may suit best. Tongue-tie fitted for handicap debut, hard to be confident in.
9th	3 9th (3) (8/1 -7%) Wicklow Gap	8 8/1(-7%)	(3) Wicklow Gap 8/1, Never competitive after missing the break when beaten 6l in a nursery here last time; wears blinkers for the first time and has shown minor promise at 6f; unexposed at 7f but mark demands more. Fair bit of improvement needed on recent C&D handicap debut effort; blinkers tried.
10th	1 10th (1) (25/1 -79%) Wingit	25 25/1(-79%)	(1) Wingit 25/1, Still green and ran to form when well beaten in a maiden at Gowran Park last time; returns from a short break and should improve for the switch to handicaps; effective at 7f. Potential improver entering handicaps but opening mark does her no favours.
11th	16 11th (16) (100/1 -203%) Beau Army	100 100/1(-203%)	(16) Beau Army 100/1, Outpaced and never threatened when down the field in an auction race over 6f at Navan last time; plenty of speed in her pedigree but yet to show much ability. Well beaten in 3 maidens, market may prove best guide on handicap debut; reserve.
12th	2 12th (2) (25/1 -25%) Stolen Treasure	25 25/1(-25%)	(2) Stolen Treasure 25/1, Outpaced and never threatened when below form in a 6f maiden at Naas last time; likely to need longer trips than 6f in time, with his opening mark looking stiff. Soft may not have suited last time, previous Naas run was okay.
13th	11 13th (11) (18/1 +10%) Lil Hot Shot	18 18/1(+10%)	(11) Lil Hot Shot 18/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a maiden at The Curragh last time; bred to want further than 7f and has plenty to prove now entering handicaps. Hard to fancy unless market speaks.
14th	7 14th (7) (40/1 -60%) Smart Sioux	40 40/1(-60%)	(7) Smart Sioux 40/1, Never threatened when beaten 9 1/4l in a nursery over 5f here last time; effective at 5-6f and highly tried in maidens, but current mark looks stiff. Well held so far in handicaps over shorter; step up in trip may suit.

One Cool Bear showed marked improvement in second over 6f at this track last month. That brings him into contention, although his three previous runs over this trip have seen him finish unplaced so he doesn't come without risk. BADGER'S COVE was claimed after finishing a decent third in a Fairyhouse claimer in September. He tries Polytrack for the first time as he starts out for Denis Hogan and should be at home over this trip. Sup Of Red isn't running badly and has a shot at prize money, while Enthusiastically is a well-bred filly who is tried in new headgear in a bid to spark improvement.

Not too many appeal but perhaps BADGER'S COVE can give an immediate return for connections, having been claimed at Fairyhouse

15:15 Dundalk 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:50 Dundalk 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (11/8 +54%) Nikki Swango	1.375 11/8(+54%)	(9) Nikki Swango 11/8, Built on recent return to form up in trip, winning a handicap by 3 1/2l off 44 here last time; effective at 7f, acts over 6f and well suited by all-weather; back in form and remains thrown in on old form. Won readily from Eric Lock here last week, likely to be in the mix again despite 11lb rise.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 -43%) Wellwhatshappenin	5 5/1(-43%)	(5) Wellwhatshappenin 5/1, Returned to form down in trip and grade, winning a handicap by 3/4l off 54 here last time; best form at 7f and bred to be suited by all-weather; unexposed in handicaps but revised mark asks for more. Was having his first run for this team when beating Eric Lock over C&D, form looks solid.
3	11 3rd (11) (13/2 -18%) Eric Lock	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(11) Eric Lock 13/2, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off 50 here last time; versatile trip and ground up to 1m; running into form and mark remains workable. Second over C&D on last two runs, beaten by Nikki Swango last week, now 9lb better off.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 +14%) Distillate	12 12/1(+14%)	(6) Distillate 12/1, Scored by 1 1/2l off 53 at Laytown in September; ran to form when sixth, beaten 6l off 57 last time; effective 6-7f, just about stays 1m; in good form and can do better stepped back up in trip. Has often run well in a very busy 2025 campaign, others have more imposing claims..
5th	2 5th (2) (6/1 -80%) Irish Rumour	6 6/1(-80%)	(2) Irish Rumour 6/1, Returned to form down in grade and up in trip, beaten a nose off 62 at Fairyhouse last time; effective 5-7f and acts on all-weather; generally consistent but has a poor strike rate. Only one win from 27 starts, went very close to doubling her score last time, fair chance.
6th	14 6th (14) (33/1 +18%) Reponse Finale	33 33/1(+18%)	(14) Reponse Finale 33/1, Below form, flattening out late back up in trip when beaten 9l in a handicap here last time; cheekpieces on first time; effective 6-8f and acts on any ground; inconsistent maiden. Appears held by Nicky Swango and Eric Lock on last week's running, cheekpieces on now.
7th	13 7th (13) (25/1 -56%) Circles	25 25/1(-56%)	(13) Circles 25/1, Forced wide from a poor draw and far too free when finishing down the field in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; all best form on all-weather over 7f; back below last winning mark but struggling since spring win. All four wins on AW; most recent was over C&D in March; seems to have lost her way.
8th	3 8th (3) (16/1 -113%) Nammos	16 16/1(-113%)	(3) Nammos 16/1, Had too much to do after missing the break but ran to form when 3 1/4l third in a claimer here last time; effective over 6-7f on a sound surface; both wins on all-weather; well treated on UK form though slow starts remain an issue. Two AW wins over this trip for Jane Chapple-Hyam, recent slow-starting tendency is a worry.
9th	10 9th (10) (28/1 -56%) Hell Left Loose	28 28/1(-56%)	(10) Hell Left Loose 28/1, Scored by 7l off 40 over 8f at Gowran Park on penultimate start; too much to do after meeting trouble when fifth beaten 12l off 52 last time; effective 6-8f; in form and still on a workable mark. Gowran win was his first since 2021 and came on heavy ground, twice fifth here in 2025.
10th	7 10th (7) (80/1 -60%) Plastic Paddy	80 80/1(-60%)	(7) Plastic Paddy 80/1, Outpaced and never threatened when finishing down the field in a handicap here last time; usually held up; effective 8-9f and all best form on all-weather; regressive since move from the UK. Seven AW wins in Britain, has been poor on turf for this yard and needs a major revival.
11th	12 11th (12) (28/1 +15%) Blue Wood	28 28/1(+15%)	(12) Blue Wood 28/1, Outpaced and modest effort when beaten 8l in a 6f handicap here last time; best at 7f but lacks the speed for shorter; unreliable and on a long losing run. Third at Down Royal on penultimate start, probably found 6f too sharp here 12 days ago.
12th	8 12th (8) (11/1 +56%) Roman Harry	11 11/1(+56%)	(8) Roman Harry 11/1, Back to form down in grade when beaten 4 1/2l in a claimer over 8f here last time; effective 7-8f; in poor form since returning from hurdling until latest effort and not one to rely on building on that. Fifth in a claimer here last week, will need to raise his game to feature in this grade.
13th	1 13th (1) (33/1 -65%) Lexington Dash	33 33/1(-65%)	(1) Lexington Dash 33/1, Never travelled and did not handle the ground when finishing down the field in a Leopardstown handicap last time; effective over 6-7f but has regressed since a lay-off. Has slumped in the ratings by 35lb from his last winning mark;, no sign of a revival.
14th	4 14th (4) (33/1 +0%) Southgreen	33 33/1(+0%)	(4) Southgreen 33/1, Made too much use of and ran below form when well beaten in a Gowran Park maiden last time; effective at 7f; mark looks lenient on maiden form and could be a threat if fit after a break. Some merit in two 7f maiden outings at Gowran, could be competitive on yard/handicap debut.

A very competitive contest for the grade. IRISH RUMOUR is on an appealing mark reverting to Polytrack after being pipped by a nose at Fairyhouse. Wellwhatshappenin stayed on well to win on stable debut over C&D last month and a 5lb rise shouldn't be insurmountable now that he has got his head in front for the first time. Nikki Swango was a ready winner over C&D last week, which led to her being hit with an 11lb hike by the assessor. She travelled well before putting her rivals away, so is one to respect. There is one of these races in Eric Lock, while Nammos is another for the shortlist.

There is potential for more improvement from WELLWHATSHAPPENIN who was making his stable debut when beating Eric Lock last month

1	3 1st (3) (11/10 +56%) Instant Appeal	1.1 11/10(+56%)	(3) Instant Appeal 11/10, Ran to current form benefiting from a drop in grade when beaten 3l off 75 here last time; effective at 7f to 9f; generally in good form. Favourite on yard C&D debut last month, tiring late into third having led; player.
2	5 2nd (5) (12/1 -71%) Vlhova	12 12/1(-71%)	(5) Vlhova 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 1/2l off 71 over 7f at Leopardstown last time; effective at 1m; consistent performer. Clear Leopardstown second last time; ran well as a 2yo on this surface, major player.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 +11%) Little Empire	8 8/1(+11%)	(2) Little Empire 8/1, Ran to current form when beaten 3l off 76 here last time; effective at 7f and 8f; fair run from this mark the last twice, respected. Bit to find with Finsceal Annie on last Friday's C&D run but has a better draw.
4	8 4th (8) (16/1 -14%) Hugo's Girl	16 16/1(-14%)	(8) Hugo's Girl 16/1, Ran to current form when fourth beaten 3 1/2l in a maiden over 7f here last time; effective at 6f to 7f; in good form. First ever try at 1m, needs to improve for it to play a major role.
5th	7 5th (7) (22/1 -83%) Everylittlestep	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Everylittlestep 22/1, Returned to form when beaten 2l off 63 over 11f here last time; effective from 1m to 9f; form has been in and out lately. Ran well here over 1m2f last month; one to consider back in trip.
6th	1 6th (1) (6/1 -71%) Finsceal Annie	6 6/1(-71%)	(1) Finsceal Annie 6/1, Returned to form when beaten 3/4l off a mark of 78 here last time; trainer in form; effective at 7f and 8f, acts on any ground; form has been in and out lately. C&D second last week; runs off same mark but draw not ideal.
7th	4 7th (4) (17/2 -70%) Darkdeserthighway	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(4) Darkdeserthighway 17/2, Returned to form when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 68 over 7f here last time; usually held up; generally consistent at 1m; in fine form but holds no secrets from the handicapper. Last month's winner up 6lb to a career-high but can go well again.
8th	6 8th (6) (16/1 +20%) Amemri	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Amemri 16/1, Returned to form down in grade when beaten 5l in a claimer over 7f here last time; progressive at 6f to 8f in summer; enjoyed a productive spring but the handicapper may now be in charge. Six-time winner here ran okay in recent claimer; more needed but considered.
9th	10 9th (10) (15/2 +25%) Punk Poet	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(10) Punk Poet 15/2, Scored by a neck off 57 here on his penultimate start; ran to current form when fourth beaten 6l off 63 last time; enjoys making the running; effective at 7f to 8f; still well treated on old efforts and remains competitive. Ran okay from bad draw last week; much more favourable stall here so respected.

INSTANT APPEAL made a bright start to life with Stephen Thorne when third over C&D last month. Previously, he ran eight times for Jessica Harrington and it looks notable that her stable jockey Shane Foley, who knows him well, comes in for the ride. Finsceal Annie was a solid second over this trip last week and Declan McDonogh, who has a good record on her, is on board again. Vlhova is in a consistent vein of form, which brings her into the equation, while Darkdeserthighway got back to winning ways over 7f at this venue recently. Everylittlestep isn't out of it on this drop back in trip.

VHLOVA makes plenty of appeal back on the AW after a fine Leopardstown second to a well-handicapped rival

16:20 Dundalk 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:50 Dundalk 10f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	8 1st (8) (9/2 +0%) Blackjack Hills	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(8) Blackjack Hills 9/2, Returned to form when benefitting from a strong pace, winning by 1 1/2l off 50 over 8f at Gowran Park last time. Effective at 1m; inconsistent and slow starts are an issue, but could have a bit more to offer up in trip. Showed huge improvement to win in first-time blinkers at Gowran, up 6lb, first time on AW.
2	7 2nd (7) (11/1 +31%) Thompson Gunner	11 11/1(+31%)	(7) Thompson Gunner 11/1, Stopped quickly when beaten 6l in a 10f handicap at Gowran Park last time. Returning from a break and has been out of form since reverting to turf. Struggled badly on turf this year, best form at this venue but over 1m, others preferred.
3	14 3rd (14) (8/1 +27%) Power Of Prayer	8 8/1(+27%)	(14) Power Of Prayer 8/1, No worthwhile form so far. Trained by a top course trainer but yet to show anything or prove capable of performing even off this basement mark. Beat only three of 45 rivals in maidens in the spring, transformation just about feasible.
4	11 4th (11) (7/2 +42%) Georg Zhukov	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(11) Georg Zhukov 7/2, Improved on recent efforts, though possibly a little flattered when 2l third in a claimer over 8f here last time. Effective 8-10f and could be running into form with a fair mark. Third in a 1m claimer here last week, handicap form is modest but this is a weak race.
5th	4 5th (4) (13/2 -86%) Barretstown	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(4) Barretstown 13/2, Won this race last year and returned to form when landing a handicap by 1 1/4l off 50 here last time. Enjoys making the running and effective at 10f; unreliable but remains well treated on best form. Confirmed liking for C&D with win here in September, definite chance with good claimer up.
6th	13 6th (13) (8/1 +60%) Glyde Ranger	8 8/1(+60%)	(13) Glyde Ranger 8/1, Never threatened when down the field in a 1m6f handicap at Navan last time. Effective at 12f; in poor form and slow starts remain an issue. Now 10lb lower than winning over 1m4f here just over a year ago, needs a revival of form.
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 -75%) Waystar	28 28/1(-75%)	(10) Waystar 28/1, Made too much use of and may have found the ground too soft when down the field in a 12f handicap at Bellewstown last time. Effective 12-13f, acts on sound surface; generally consistent until recent starts. Sole win over 1m4f at this venue, has failed to build on a creditable Ayr second in August.
8th	1 8th (1) (11/2 +31%) Miss Australie	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(1) Miss Australie 11/2, Ran to form when beaten 10l in a handicap over 1m6f at The Curragh last time. Effective at 12f and probably flattered by her maiden outlier; her current mark looks high enough. Ran well in a Curragh maiden in June, had an excuse on stable debut, below best last time.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 -65%) Deluca Chop	33 33/1(-65%)	(6) Deluca Chop 33/1, Ran below form when comfortably held in a 12f handicap at Roscommon last time. Effective at 10f; needs to prove his ability remains following an absence. Last success was over C&D in February 2023, missed all of last year, ordinary form in 2025.
10th	3 10th (3) (15/2 +38%) Ms Messi	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(3) Ms Messi 15/2, Won by 2 1/4l off 54 over 1m5f at Tipperary three starts back. Short of room but ran to form when eighth beaten 7l off 59 last time. Effective 10-12f, suited by sound surface, though form inconsistent. Tipperary win in August came out of the blue, already beaten when hampered here last time.
11th	16 11th (16) (33/1 -18%) Together Aclaim	33 33/1(-18%)	(16) Together Aclaim 33/1, Outpaced and never in the race when down the field in a 10f handicap at Navan last time. Usually held up; effective 10-12f on all-weather; moderate form this summer. Second reserve, down the field twice at Navan since a fair C&D fifth, modest strike rate.
12th	5 12th (5) (40/1 -43%) Sonoma Sunset	40 40/1(-43%)	(5) Sonoma Sunset 40/1, Disappointing on handicap debut when down the field in a 7f handicap at The Curragh last time. Effective at 7-8f; the step up in trip looks unlikely to suit. Weak maiden form, big price when failing to make any impression in a Curragh handicap.
13th	9 13th (9) (28/1 +30%) Pure Granite	28 28/1(+30%)	(9) Pure Granite 28/1, Outpaced and met trouble when possibly unsuited by the drop in trip on handicap debut over 7f at The Curragh. Effective at 1m and not bred for this longer trip, though not dismissed on maiden form. Ordinary maiden form, down the field in a Curragh handicap, AW debut, new trip.

BARRETSTOWN won over C&D in September and is effectively just 1lb higher with Jack Cleary taking 5lb off his back. He has actually won two of his last four races in Dundalk, which is strong form in this contest. First-time blinkers brought about marked improvement in Blackjack Hills, who delivered over an extended mile in Gowran Park. He makes his Polytrack debut and is one to take seriously, especially if strong in the market. Deluca Chop hasn't appeared at this venue for some time but could grab a cheque, while Georg Zhukov should have more horses behind him than in front.

Of the two last-time-out winners in the field, BARRETSTOWN is the more appealing based on his C&D record and Jack Cleary's 5lb claim

17:20 Dundalk 10f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (9/1 +64%) Brandon Creek	9 9/1(+64%)	(3) Brandon Creek 9/1, Outpaced and never threatened when well beaten in a handicap over 8f at Bellewstown last time. Effective from 8f to 12f; out of form and has something to prove. Slight improvement noted at Bellewstown five weeks ago, needs to find a lot more.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 -44%) Limestone Red	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(1) Limestone Red 13/2, Returned to form down in grade when beaten 2 1/2l off 59 here last time. Effective from 8f to 10f and best on the all-weather. Inconsistent but on a good mark if building on that latest revival. Sole win came over C&D two years ago, fourth here last time implies he could go close.
3	9 3rd (9) (12/1 +14%) Tero D'rosa	12 12/1(+14%)	(9) Tero D'rosa 12/1, Up in trip but failed to get home when down the field in a handicap over 9f at Punchestown last time. Off a short break; effective from 7f to 8f on the all-weather; plenty to prove in handicaps. Turf form has not been promising, some chance that longer trip and this surface will help.
4	2 4th (2) (15/8 +58%) Porsche Lad	1.875 15/8(+58%)	(2) Porsche Lad 15/8, Ran to form when beaten 4l off 59 here last time. Trainer in good form. Off a short break and effective over 10f on the all-weather, though yet to prove as good on turf. Latest run here has taken big boost. Underlined his liking for this track last time though demoted a place for interference.
5th	10 5th (10) (12/1 -20%) Celtic Druid	12 12/1(-20%)	(10) Celtic Druid 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off 50 over 10f at Navan last time. Effective from 9f to 12f; inconsistent overall but capable on his day. Won over 1m4f at Bellewstown in June, three ordinary runs before a better effort at Navan.
6th	8 6th (8) (8/1 +0%) Jawhary	8 8/1(+0%)	(8) Jawhary 8/1, Ran to current form when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 10f but unreliable and on a four-year losing run. Four years since sole win in a 34-race career, 0-14 on AW, fair fifth over C&D last month.
7th	4 7th (4) (10/1 -54%) Rising Sky	10 10/1(-54%)	(4) Rising Sky 10/1, Ran to current form when beaten 3 1/2l off 58 over 8f here last time. Effective from 7f to 8f on the all-weather. Generally consistent maiden with a workable mark. Consistent if limited at around one mile, first attempt at this trip, needs to find extra.
8th	12 8th (12) (28/1 -133%) Churchill Gale	28 28/1(-133%)	(12) Churchill Gale 28/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off 51 at Down Royal last time. Effective from 10f to 11f; exposed maiden who could be running into form at a modest level. Yet to reach the first three but perhaps not a lost case judged on turf form in the autumn.
9th	7 9th (7) (100/1 -257%) Wungudi	100 100/1(-257%)	(7) Wungudi 100/1, Outpaced and looked in need of a stiffer test when down the field in a maiden over 8f at Cork most recently. Off a long absence, usually held up, and effective around 11f; plenty to prove in handicaps. Ran three times in maidens last season without showing much, chance is not obvious.
10th	6 10th (6) (9/2 -13%) Kodi Brown	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(6) Kodi Brown 9/2, Improved up in trip under a positive ride when beaten 1 1/2l off 55 over 10f at Navan last time. Effective from 8f to 10f and acts on the all-weather. In good form in handicaps and not fully exposed over middle distances. Has matured since two runs here at two, leading chance now following Navan second.
11th	11 11th (11) (100/1 -203%) Nyota	100 100/1(-203%)	(11) Nyota 100/1, Well below form in a first-time hood when down the field in a handicap here last time. Effective from 8f to 10f on the all-weather; excuses latest and hood now removed. Showed some ability in 2023, ran only once in 2024, struggled here on recent stable debut.
12th	5 12th (5) (14/1 +22%) Virgil Tibbs	14 14/1(+22%)	(5) Virgil Tibbs 14/1, Below form back down in trip when well beaten in a handicap over 8f at Bellewstown last time. Effective at around 1m but in only moderate form. Down 8lb from his initial handicap rating, possible that he could become competitive.

PORSCHE LAD's three runs in Dundalk read '123' and he could motor his way to another success. It was this trip he won over and he remains on a competitive mark. A good run from Barretstown in the preceding race on the card would bode well for Limestone Red, who finished fourth behind him in September. Sam Coen claims 7lb aboard Kodi Brown, who has been placed in two of her last three races on turf so she is certainly of interest. Jawhary is a longstanding maiden in Ireland but is a contender, while Rising Sky isn't generally beaten overly far and tries a new trip.

A breakthrough win is on the cards for KODI BROWN with Sam Coen's 7lb claim a help in his bid to go one better than at Navan.

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.
