15:15 Dundalk Maiden 5f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
3	3 (3) (2/1 +53%) Mint Man	2 2/1(+53%)	(3) Mint Man 2/1, 50/1, showed much improved form when second of 8 in minor event at this course (6f) 19 days ago. Capable of winning race of this nature so he's high on the shortlist. Second to a smart rival last time (6f); has the pace to cope with this drop in trip.
4	4 (4) (3/1 -33%) Sorrento Sky	3 3/1(-33%)	(4) Sorrento Sky 3/1, Won a barrier trial here in September and made an encouraging start under Rules when second of 13 in maiden at this course (7f, 8/1) 3 weeks ago. Down in trip. Should have more to offer. Ran a fine race over 7f on debut, beaten by a more experienced rival; should be involved.
1	1 (1) (10/3 -11%) Branding	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(1) Branding 10/3, 8/1, matched debut form when third of 10 in maiden at Naas (5f, soft) back in July. Respected on all-weather debut. Was 3rd over this trip on easy ground at Naas in July; has the ability to run well.
8	8 (8) (12/1 -118%) Ecoutez Bien	12 12/1(-118%)	(8) Ecoutez Bien 12/1, Foaled June 1. No Nay Never filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7.4f winner (stayed 1¼m) Sherpa out of useful 2-y-o 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Eirnin. Plenty to like. By a top sire, notably of sprinters, so is worth checking the market for confidence.
11	11 (11) (13/2 -30%) Mary Shoelaces	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(11) Mary Shoelaces 13/2, Blinkered for 1st time, improved again when second of 7 in nursery (9/2) at this C&D 7 days ago, clear of rest. Wide draw complicates things a touch but she's in the mix. Good C&D nursery runs last twice so should be competitive back in this company.
14	14 (14) (14/1 -87%) Woohoo	14 14/1(-87%)	(14) Woohoo 14/1, 20/1, made an encouraging start when third of 14 in maiden at this C&D on debut 33 days ago, having to pick way through. Blinkers on 1st time. Open to improvement. Beaten 8l by a stablemate on debut; should improve but blinkers are quickly reached for.
12	12 (12) (14/1 +65%) Soldiers Design	14 14/1(+65%)	(12) Soldiers Design 14/1, Foaled April 29. €8,000 foal, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 6f Angelic Lord and winner up to 6f Big Time Maybe. Dam maiden (stayed 1m). By a first-crop sire who has got lots of winners; one of three runners for respected yard.
9	9 (9) (22/1 +12%) Iberian Queen	22 22/1(+12%)	(9) Iberian Queen 22/1, Foaled April 12. €18,000 yearling, Phoenix of Spain filly. Closely related to 1m winner Coolmeen Vega and half-sister to useful 6f winner Pure Circle. An 18,000euros yearling is worth a market check on debut.
5	5 (5) (28/1 -40%) Surpass And Shine	28 28/1(-40%)	(5) Surpass And Shine 28/1, 150/1, showed more than first time up when fifth of 10 in maiden at Naas (5.9f, heavy) 52 days ago. Weakened in the final furlong on soft ground over 6f last time; this could suit better.
2	2 (2) (40/1 -60%) Chief Of State	40 40/1(-60%)	(2) Chief Of State 40/1, Foaled March 29. €34,000 yearling, Kuroshio colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Lady Onyx. Dam 5f winner out of useful 7f winner Dangle. A 34,000euros yearling is by a decent sire and could run well on debut.
6	6 (6) (66/1 -32%) Tarsus	66 66/1(-32%)	(6) Tarsus 66/1, 40/1, sixth of 14 in maiden at this C&D 33 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Soundly beaten in three maidens, including twice over C&D; tried in a tongue-tie.
15	15 (15) (125/1 -213%) Thatsthebestoneyet	125 125/1(-213%)	(15) Thatsthebestoneyet 125/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Kieran Patrick Cotter when seventh of 14 in maiden (33/1) at this C&D 33 days ago. Seemingly being brought along with handicaps in mind. RESERVE. A lesser run over C&D in cheekpieces last month; major improvement needed; reserve.
7	7 (7) (150/1 -275%) Xaustdwithpleasure	150 150/1(-275%)	(7) Xaustdwithpleasure 150/1, Offered little when thirteenth of 15 in maiden at Navan (5.8f, heavy, 25/1) on debut 7 weeks ago. Big step forward needed. Beaten a long way on debut at Navan in soft ground and will have to improve loads.
10	10 (10) (250/1 -150%) Maple Star	250 250/1(-150%)	(10) Maple Star 250/1, 150/1, failed to progress from debut when eighth of 10 in maiden at Leopardstown (7.3f, good) 5 months ago. Significantly down in trip. Beaten a long way in two maidens over the summer; looks one for handicaps.

LTO Selection:

MARY SHOELACES was just outgunned by an in-form horse in the closing stages over C&D last week, but finished well clear of the remainder. Wesley Joyce rode the horse that beat her and comes in for the ride. His 5lb claim is valuable in this race. Mint Man ran a stormer off the front at 50/1 when beaten a neck over 6f here last month, and is drawn to attack again. Branding had several subsequent winners behind him when third in a Naas maiden in July and could be lively on his Polytrack debut. Sorrento Sky showed plenty when runner-up on debut over 7f in November. This is a marked drop in trip and he is drawn widest of all, but his chance is respected. Woohoo could build upon a debut third over C&D and gets first-time blinkers while newcomer Ecoutez Bien is well worth a market check.

Having won a barrier trial here in September, SORRENTO SKY went close to making a successful Rules debut here 3 weeks ago and dropped to the minimum trip, Gavin Cromwell's colt is fancied to go a place better at the expense of Branding, who makes his all-weather debut after a couple of fair turf efforts back in the summer. Mary Shoelaces and Mint Man can fight out minor honours.

MINT MAN(nap) has been gelded since last time and turns out again relatively quickly but has plenty of pace and could make all.

15:15 Dundalk Maiden 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:45 Dundalk Claimer 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
9	9 (9) (2/1 +20%) Notforalongtime	2 2/1(+20%)	(9) Notforalongtime 2/1, Fair gelding. Course winner. Bit below form when sixth in handicap here (8f) 14 days ago but had come close over C&D previously and warrants respect. Two wins and two places at this venue, second on penultimate start, solid each-way chance.
4	4 (4) (5/2 +50%) May Night	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(4) May Night 5/2, Went with no encouragement on first run since leaving Stuart Williams when last of 16 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft, 40/1) 4 months ago. Has to enter calculations dropped to claiming company here, though. Six AW wins in Britain, last of 16 on debut for this stable, respected at these weights.
12	12 (12) (8/1 +50%) Big Dream	8 8/1(+50%)	(12) Big Dream 8/1, Fair gelding. Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Not out of things. Unplaced here 12 days ago, some sort of chance on his previous second in a 1m handicap.
8	8 (8) (10/1 -100%) Monzoon	10 10/1(-100%)	(8) Monzoon 10/1, Back to winning ways in 13-runner claimer at this course (8f) last month and wasn't seen to best effect for new yard in handicap company since. Shortlisted. Ended long losing sequence with win in 1m claimer last month, disappointing on yard debut.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +52%) Hezahunk	12 12/1(+52%)	(3) Hezahunk 12/1, Fair gelding. First run since leaving Michael Appleby when bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, 9/1) 5 days ago. Work to do. Placed on AW in Britain, fair fifth in a handicap here last Friday, more on his plate now.
14	14 (14) (12/1 +52%) Knockmore Prince	12 12/1(+52%)	(14) Knockmore Prince 12/1, Modest gelding. 9/2, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Others more persuasive. Fair form at this venue on last three starts, others better suited by the race conditions.
11	11 (11) (14/1 +13%) Chica Power	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) Chica Power 14/1, Fair mare. 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Below form eighth of 14 in handicap (4/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Not discounted. Won a C&D claimer for fillies/mares in October, has a decent overall record at the venue.
1	1 (1) (18/1 -177%) Army Of India	18 18/1(-177%)	(1) Army Of India 18/1, Unreliable type. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Down Royal (7f, soft) 72 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Chance on old form. Three AW sprinting wins in Britain for Julie Camacho, ordinary form for this stable.
13	13 (13) (22/1 -22%) Invincible Larne	22 22/1(-22%)	(13) Invincible Larne 22/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 12¼ lengths sixth of 13 to Monzoon in claimer at this course (8f, 28/1) 21 days ago, merely closing up late. Others preferred. Five-time winner in Britain, sixth in two 1m claimers last month, needs to find extra.
10	10 (10) (25/1 -39%) Humanitarian	25 25/1(-39%)	(10) Humanitarian 25/1, Quirky sort. Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 10/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 14 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Each-way claims. Two wins over longer distances, not a bad run over 1m last time but 7f may be inadequate.
7	7 (7) (28/1 -700%) Eighty Eight	28 28/1(-700%)	(7) Eighty Eight 28/1, Disappointed over hurdles latest but posted respectable fourth at Navan (10f) when last seen in this sphere in July and is one of likelier contenders. Moderate hurdles from since his last Flat start, quite well suited by race conditions.
15	15 (15) (50/1 -52%) Pollanassa	50 50/1(-52%)	(15) Pollanassa 50/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Tenth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at this course (10.7f) 5 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. RESERVE. First reserve, regressive after showing early promise in maidens for Kevin Coleman.
2	2 (2) (125/1 -150%) Jackie Robinson	125 125/1(-150%)	(2) Jackie Robinson 125/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 12 in maiden at Leopardstown (9f, heavy, 50/1) 45 days ago. Down in trip. Poor runs on turf over 5f and 1m1f, little appeal even if this intermediate trip helps.
5	5 (5) (150/1 -20%) Ocean Leader	150 150/1(-20%)	(5) Ocean Leader 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Denis W. Cullen when thirteenth of 14 in maiden at this course (8f, 100/1) 21 days ago. Big gap between his only two runs, nothing to suggest he can make his presence felt.

LTO Selection:

MAY NIGHT enjoys racing on all-weather surfaces and, if he runs near to his mark of 84, could take a bit of beating at these weights. He posted three victories at Wolverhampton and another three in Kempton and it is reasonable to assume that he will relish his first visit to Dundalk. Notforalongtime was only headed close home in a C&D handicap in November which is solid form in the context of this race. Monzoon has questions to answer after disappointing on his last start, however, he showed what he can do when routing the field in a claimer over 1m at this track on his penultimate outing. Chica Power was a comfortable winner of a claimer over C&D in October which gives her claims while Knockmore Prince has been placed four times in Dundalk and can get in the mix for Noel Meade and Danny Sheehy.

MONZOON was unable to land a blow on debut for new connections here last month but had taken a similar contest here previously and gets the nod. Notforalongtime and Eighty Eight are others to consider in a tricky-looking event.

This looks open. A tentative vote goes to NOTFORALONGTIME who has four AW wins to his name including two at this venue.

15:45 Dundalk Claimer 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:15 Dundalk Stakes 7f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	1 (1) (7/4 +22%) Finbar Furey	1.75 7/4(+22%)	(1) Finbar Furey 7/4, Lightly-raced winner. First run since leaving Clive Cox when good 2 lengths fourth of 8 to Orne in Horris Hill Stakes (4/1) at Newmarket (7f, heavy) 32 days ago. On the upgrade and makes appeal back down in grade. Winner on soft, ran creditably on heavy in the Horris Hill but has handled good ground too.
2	2 (2) (10/3 +52%) Port Augusta	3.333333 10/3(+52%)	(2) Port Augusta 10/3, 7/2, won 8-runner minor event at Dundalk (6f) on debut 19 days ago. Open to progress and can't be ruled out. Extra furlong here should be within his range following a promising debut success over 6f.
8	8 (8) (11/8 -10%) Serious Notions	1.375 11/8(-10%)	(8) Serious Notions 11/8, Thrice-raced maiden. 3 lengths third of 9 to Kitty Rose in listed race (28/1) at Leopardstown (7.3f, good to firm) 88 days ago. Obvious claims. Faces previous winners but has leading chance based on Listed third at Leopardstown.
13	13 (13) (12/1 -50%) Vina Arana	12 12/1(-50%)	(13) Vina Arana 12/1, Promising individual. Sixth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 6/1) on debut 68 days ago, never nearer. Open to improvement. Ran a bit green first time out in a C&D maiden in September, improvement is on the cards.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -191%) Bergamasco	16 16/1(-191%)	(4) Bergamasco 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 13-runner nursery at Dundalk (8f, 7/1) 19 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Should be on the premises. Promoted 8lb to 82 after 1m course nursery win, will need to surpass that mark now.
9	9 (9) (40/1 -60%) Nedita	40 40/1(-60%)	(9) Nedita 40/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 13 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 11/2) on debut 21 days ago. May do better. Not a bad run on debut three weeks ago, should improve but has tough task in this company.
6	6 (6) (66/1 -32%) The Poacher Daly	66 66/1(-32%)	(6) The Poacher Daly 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (5f, 9/1) on debut 33 days ago. Significantly up in trip. No impact first time out here a month ago though not a big price on that occasion.
10	10 (10) (100/1 -52%) Storm Tracker	100 100/1(-52%)	(10) Storm Tracker 100/1, Foaled March 16. €4,000 yearling, Storm Belt colt. Half-brother to middle-distance winner in Spain by Motivator. Dam Spanish 9f winner. Pedigree suggests he may need a bit further than this to prosper, best watched.
3	3 (3) (100/1 -25%) Badda Bing	100 100/1(-25%)	(3) Badda Bing 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighteenth of 20 in minor event at Naas (5.9f, soft, 80/1). Off 121 days. In rear in a strong Curragh maiden, out of his depth in a valuable sales race at Naas.
11	11 (11) (200/1 -33%) Freedom Ring	200 200/1(-33%)	(11) Freedom Ring 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in maiden at Cork (5f, soft, 150/1). Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip. Excuse for poor run on debut, hard to fancy on the evidence of 5f Cork in run in May.
12	12 (12) (200/1 -203%) Galician Girl	200 200/1(-203%)	(12) Galician Girl 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) on debut 26 days ago. Beaten roughly 8l when 11th of 14 on debut here last month, unlikely to feature.
5	5 (5) (250/1 -25%) Selton Hill	250 250/1(-25%)	(5) Selton Hill 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f, 150/1) 14 days ago. Soundly beaten in outings at the Curragh and this venue, not likely to make an impact.
14	14 (14) (250/1 +0%) Katie Kabeir	250 250/1(+0%)	(14) Katie Kabeir 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving Denis Hogan when last of 14 in maiden at Dundalk (7f) 14 days ago. No apparent chance, has failed to finish in front of a single rival in three outings.

LTO Selection:

Ger Lyons' horses have been in terrific form in the Winter Series at Dundalk with three winners and two runners-up from his last six runners, so SERIOUS NOTIONS looks a likely sort for the trainer. This 93-rated filly put in an excellent effort in third behind two very useful fillies in Listed company at Leopardstown in September. She is one to look forward to on Polytrack debut. British-raider Finbar Furey holds a mark of 95 and wasn't beaten far into fourth in the Group 3 Horris Hill Stakes at Newmarket last month. His chance has to be taken very seriously. Bergamasco is maturing and got off the mark at the fifth time of asking. He is proven over further which will help if this becomes a battle. Port Augusta stayed on well to get up a neck on debut over 6f at this track. The extra furlong shouldn't pose a problem, so he is a player.

SERIOUS NOTIONS' third in listed company at Leopardstown 88 days ago is the best piece of form on show and she's worth a chance to open her account back down in grade. Finbar Furey also arrives on the back of a good effort in better company, so he's regarded as the main danger ahead of Bergamasco.

This looks like a good opportunity for SERIOUS NOTIONS, whose Listed third at Leopardstown has been well advertised by the runner-up

16:15 Dundalk Stakes 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:45 Dundalk Handicap 8f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
5	5 (5) (5/2 +64%) Alto Sax	2.5 5/2(+64%)	(5) Alto Sax 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, good seventh of 14 in nursery at this course (7f) 47 days ago. Has good chance on form. Met trouble in running in a race won by a stablemate here in October, may do better.
1	1 (1) (6/1 +0%) Seti	6 6/1(+0%)	(1) Seti 6/1, Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 40/1, won 12-runner maiden at this course (7f) 7 days ago, driven out. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. Last of 13 over 5f at Cork in May, transformed when a big-priced winner here last week.
10	10 (10) (8/1 -129%) Dream Ticket	8 8/1(-129%)	(10) Dream Ticket 8/1, Improved since fitted with visor, latest when narrowly denied in 9-runner nursery (5/2) at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and looks sure to go well again. Modest maiden form, has found her level in handicaps, big chance after two second placings.
13	13 (13) (9/1 +10%) Amerigo Vespucci	9 9/1(+10%)	(13) Amerigo Vespucci 9/1, Found improvement when third of 9 in nursery (7/2) at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Claims if building on that. Only 1/2l behind Dream Ticket last time, disadvantaged now from 6lb out of the handicap.
12	12 (12) (10/1 +38%) Thia	10 10/1(+38%)	(12) Thia 10/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable sixth of 13 in nursery (17/2) at this C&D 19 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Well exposed at this stage, looks held by Dream Ticket on C&D running last month.
7	7 (7) (10/3 +26%) Sumptuary Law	3.333333 10/3(+26%)	(7) Sumptuary Law 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. Made the frame again when third of 13 in maiden (3/1) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Switches to handicaps now and this longer trip should suit. In the frame on all three maiden starts at this venue, this rise in distance is a positive.
3	3 (3) (13/2 -30%) Centuria	6.5 13/2(-30%)	(3) Centuria 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 14 in maiden at this course (7f, 15/2) 14 days ago, doing better under change of tactics. Likely more to come on handicap debut. Seems to be on the upgrade, fair chance of upholding recent 7f course form with Tiger King.
8	8 (8) (20/1 -43%) Cool Dan	20 20/1(-43%)	(8) Cool Dan 20/1, 11/4, creditable second of 12 in claimer at this course (7f) 5 days ago, no match for winner. First run for yard after leaving G. M. Lyons. Respected. Second in a claimer last Friday for Ger Lyons, previously fourth in a 6f nursery.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -83%) Dandy Lichious	33 33/1(-83%)	(4) Dandy Lichious 33/1, 18/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving G. M. Lyons when ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f) 21 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs a couple of these to falter. Could be given a chance based on fourth of eight in a Curragh nursery for Ger Lyons.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -83%) Guest Star	33 33/1(-83%)	(9) Guest Star 33/1, Below form fifth of 9 in nursery at the Curragh (8f, heavy, 16/1) 36 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others preferred. Plenty of experience, best performance came on heavy ground, ran poorly here in October.
11	11 (11) (33/1 -50%) Gregorina	33 33/1(-50%)	(11) Gregorina 33/1, First run since leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam when below form fifth of 12 in claimer at this course (7f, 10/1) 5 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Showed some ability on AW in Britain, finished behind Cool Dan in a claimer on Irish debut.
6	6 (6) (100/1 -355%) Special Angel	100 100/1(-355%)	(6) Special Angel 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at this course (7f) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others preferred. Best of her three maiden runs at this venue was over 6f on debut, form at 7f appears weak.

LTO Selection:

DREAM TICKET lost out by the minimum margin over 7f last month and could pick up compensation here. She has placed form over this trip on the sand and goes to work from a lovely low draw. Seti took to the Polytack when running on well to deliver by half a length over 7f at the end of last month. Robert Whearty retains the ride and his 5lb claim lessens the burden of the top weight. Amerigo Vespucci competes from out of the handicap, but was just half a length behind Dream Ticket in third in that aforementioned race after attracting plenty of support. He is likely to be putting in good late work again. Sumptuary Law, Centuria and Cool Dan are others to factor into calculations.

There should be more to come from SUMPTUARY LAW and she may be able to strike at the first time of asking in handicap company. Dream Ticket and Centuria head the list of dangers.

Touched off here a fortnight ago, DREAM TICKET has improved for the switch to handicap company on this surface and can go one better

16:45 Dundalk Handicap 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:15 Dundalk Handicap 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
4	4 (4) (4/1 +27%) Darkdeserthighway	4 4/1(+27%)	(4) Darkdeserthighway 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Good fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 33 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Respected. Twice a C&D winner, fair fifth last month with Whatharm back in ninth, reasonable chance.
2	2 (2) (4/1 -45%) Pierre Lapin	4 4/1(-45%)	(2) Pierre Lapin 4/1, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on. Not taken lightly. Hard to win with, fourth placings on his last two course visits give him place prospects.
9	9 (9) (5/1 +0%) Rockbury Lad	5 5/1(+0%)	(9) Rockbury Lad 5/1, C&D winner. One win from 21 Flat runs. Winner here in September. Good fourth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at this course (7f) 7 days ago, slowly away. Considered. Winner over C&D in September, has made the frame in two of his three subsequent races here.
12	12 (12) (10/1 +0%) Not Just Yet	10 10/1(+0%)	(12) Not Just Yet 10/1, 5/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago, met some trouble. Needs to up his game. Fine effort when second over C&D on penultimate start, not as effective over 7f last week.
6	6 (6) (10/1 +0%) Whatharm	10 10/1(+0%)	(6) Whatharm 10/1, 6-time course winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. 8/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Six-time course winner, placed three times on turf this year, should not be ruled out.
8	8 (8) (11/2 +31%) Chavajod	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(8) Chavajod 11/2, 9/2, respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. Visor back on. Yet to win on AW but placed four times at this venue as well as on the beach at Laytown.
3	3 (3) (14/1 -27%) Celebrating Ethel	14 14/1(-27%)	(3) Celebrating Ethel 14/1, Winner at Leopardstown in August. Seventh of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Bellewstown (7.8f, heavy) 70 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Lacks AW experience but a good sign that his single turf win was obtained on good ground.
7	7 (7) (15/2 +32%) Allo Arry	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(7) Allo Arry 15/2, Winner at Laytown in September. Eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (7f, 8/1) 54 days ago. Others more persuasive. Backed up Laytown win with second over C&D, met trouble in running here last time.
11	11 (11) (18/1 -80%) You Owe Me Money	18 18/1(-80%)	(11) You Owe Me Money 18/1, Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap (16/1) at this course (10.7f) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. Won twice at Gowran in May; respectable form since; fifth here last time was over further..
1	1 (1) (20/1 -25%) Higher Kingdom	20 20/1(-25%)	(1) Higher Kingdom 20/1, C&D winner. 25/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (10.7f) 19 days ago, lost all chance at start. Back down in trip. Three-time course winner, 8lb lower than for his last win but recent form has been poor.
13	13 (13) (33/1 -267%) Oriental Dancer	33 33/1(-267%)	(13) Oriental Dancer 33/1, Respectable second of 5 in handicap at Bath (8f, firm, 13/8). Off 172 days. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Must improve. Placed in three of her four handicap starts on turf for Richard Hannon, worth considering.
5	5 (5) (40/1 +20%) In Favour	40 40/1(+20%)	(5) In Favour 40/1, 66/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, soft) 60 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Blinkers back on. Others make more appeal. Won twice for Andre Fabre early in his career, almost nothing of merit in his Irish form.
14	14 (14) (80/1 -186%) Quick Blessing	80 80/1(-186%)	(14) Quick Blessing 80/1, Eighth of 11 in maiden (20/1) at this course (7f) 61 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell. Difficult ask. Good run at Leopardstown in June but has failed to build on that, has left Gavin Cromwell.
10	10 (10) (100/1 -100%) Venetian	100 100/1(-100%)	(10) Venetian 100/1, 150/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Others have achieved more. Two 1m wins in Britain, became regressive towards the rear on first two Irish starts.

LTO Selection:

PIERRE LAPIN appeals on the back of his close fourth over C&D at the start of November. That run was in a slightly higher grade and he has been dropped by 2lb. Furthermore, 5lb-claimer Robert Whearty has been booked so Pierre Lapin is on a very handy mark now. Michael O'Callaghan's Darkdeserthighway was just a neck behind Pierre Lapin in fifth over C&D and Colin Keane, who was on board when he won on his penultimate start, gets the leg up again. O'Callaghan's Rockbury Lad is another arriving on the back of a respectable fourth, but that was over 7f. He was winning form over 1m in Dundalk, though, and it isn't hard to see him featuring. Not Just Yet, with in-form James Ryan on board, and ex-British racer Oriental Dancer are others with chances while second-reserve Morning Approach kept on nicely to win over C&D last month.

PIERRE LAPIN shaped well from an unpromising position over C&D last month and, with cheekpieces back on, he's worth a chance to capitalise on a handy mark. Stablemates Rockbury Lad and Darkdeserthighway also make appeal.

Now 13lb lower than winning here 14 months ago PIERRE LAPIN appeals in this grade despite a profile as a frustrating type

LTO Selection:

THERIVERRUNSDEEP put in her best effort for some time when beaten half a length into second over C&D last month. She was very well supported that day which gives hope that she can back it up. Although she has gone up 6lb, she is still on lowly mark. Senado Square runs under the 7lb penalty after obliging over the minimum trip last Friday. He has form over 6f and has to be respected on what is likely to be his last outing before a wind operation. It wouldn't be a surprise to see James Henry get his turn. He has finished runner-up in his last two outings over 7f and the drop back in trip could see him home. You wouldn't want to be ruling out Cholita, with champion jockey Colin Keane up, and the game No Speed Limit.

JAMES HENRY has been knocking on the door of late and should go well again. Theriverrunsdeep and Senado Square head the dangers.

Having been runner-up the last twice here over 7f, JAMES HENRY could get off the mark today dropped to this trip.

6	6 (6) (5/4 +50%) Jazzy Dancer	1.25 5/4(+50%)	(6) Jazzy Dancer 5/4, One win from 28 Flat runs but ran respectably when third of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, well positioned. Blinkers back on. Good chance on pick of form. Placed over 6f/7f here the last twice and can be involved with a repeat.

On a dangerous mark and big chance if building on that. A falling mark this year but a better effort over 7f last time; chance if building on that.
2	2 (2) (9/2 +18%) Reinforce	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(2) Reinforce 9/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable third of 7 in maiden at this C&D (11/2) 14 days ago. Has run well enough here in maidens lately and can be competitive back in a handicap.

Rejoined yard after leaving Adrian McGuinness. Not taken lightly on pick of her efforts. C&D winner is back with original trainer; off an attractive mark if even near her old form.
14	14 (14) (14/1 +0%) Zig Zag Zyggy	14 14/1(+0%)	(14) Zig Zag Zyggy 14/1, Course winner who again ran poorly when twelfth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Visor back on. Turf winner in the summer was poor over C&D last time and has to bounce back.
5	5 (5) (14/1 +36%) Bright Image	14 14/1(+36%)	(5) Bright Image 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, twelfth of 20 in handicap (33/1) at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 36 days ago. Showed ability on debut over 1m here; poor on soft last twice but can better those runs.
4	4 (4) (15/2 +63%) Gegenpressing	7.5 15/2(+63%)	(4) Gegenpressing 15/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, eighteenth of 20 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, heavy) 36 days ago. Regressive on turf this year and needs to return to form back on this surface.

8	8 (8) (66/1 -164%) Brookie Cookie	66 66/1(-164%)	(8) Brookie Cookie 66/1, Modest maiden. Twenty fourth of 25 in handicap (33/1) at Cork (7f, good to firm), slowly away. Off 91 days. Makes polytrack debut. Poor over 7f at Cork last time but previously shown snippets of form; AW debut.

LTO Selection:

There looks like there will be plenty of pace on in this contest and an each-way chance is taken on POET'S PRIDE. David Marnane's charge is capable of being played from the off the pace and is just 1lb higher in the weights than when he won over C&D in February. Connections have enlisted Seamie Heffernan for the first time on Jazzy Dancer and the pair have definite claims. This five-year-old gelding has been placed on his last two visits to Dundalk while Might And Mercy has been sliding down the weights and showed more spark when fourth over 7f last month. She is on a dangerous mark. Iva Batt was claimed by Keith Watson after finishing fourth over 7f at this venue in October. She has the ability to get involved in the distribution of prize money.

MIGHT AND MERCY has fallen a long way in the weights and could be ready to strike having taken a clear step back in the right direction when fourth at this venue 2 weeks ago. Jazzy Dancer and Iva Batt are a couple of potential threats.

It could be worth taking a chance on REINFORCE who has run well in maidens here lately on both starts for this yard.

Info	Form	Odds
5	5 (5) (5/1 +29%) Final Check	5 5/1(+29%)	(5) Final Check 5/1, Thrived in handicaps, the step up to this trip bringing about a little more progress as she made it 3 wins from last 4 starts at Newcastle 33 days ago. Rider's claim off-sets latest weight rise and she's well worthy of interest again. Has won 3 of her last 4, including over this trip at Newcastle; up 5lb but respected.
11	11 (11) (7/2 +50%) Limestone Red	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(11) Limestone Red 7/2, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (5/1) 19 days ago, staying on well.

9	9 (9) (11/1 +0%) Storm Eric	11 11/1(+0%)	(9) Storm Eric 11/1, Course winner. Latest win here in November. 7/2, good second of 14 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago, every chance entering final 1f and keeping on. This looks tougher but he's still unexposed at this trip. Dual 7f winner but stayed this trip well when 2nd last time; a player off 3lb higher.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +19%) Walhaan	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(2) Walhaan 13/2, In good form prior to ending losing run in 14-runner C&D handicap last month. Good fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle (10/1) at Punchestown (16.7f, soft) 11 days ago and remains well treated on old form returned to this sphere.

6	6 (6) (14/1 -40%) Spy	14 14/1(-40%)	(6) Spy 14/1, Unreliable sort. 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, good 1¾ lengths third of 14 to Walhaan in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago. Needs to build on that here. Back to form when 3rd to Walhaan over C&D last time; be involved from the same mark.

10	10 (10) (18/1 +36%) Garrick Painter	18 18/1(+36%)	(10) Garrick Painter 18/1, Creditable 3¾ lengths eighth of 14 to Fairytale Princess in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 19 days ago, never better than midfield. Tongue strap on 1st time. Something to find on form. AW winner in UK was 4l behind Fairytale Princess last time; needs more in a tongue-tie.
8	8 (8) (22/1 +45%) Cu Chulainn	22 22/1(+45%)	(8) Cu Chulainn 22/1, First run since leaving Brian Meehan when fifth of 7 in minor event (28/1) at this course (7f) 12 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals (on back of 14 months off). Significantly up in trip and this promises to reveal more. Dual AW winner in UK found 7f too sharp on debut for this yard after an absence; do better.
7	7 (7) (25/1 -56%) Yokkell	25 25/1(-56%)	(7) Yokkell 25/1, 15/2, first run since leaving Jarlath P. Fahey when good 2¼ lengths fourth of 14 to Walhaan in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago, nearest finish. Each-way possibilities. Dual turf winner has run respectably over C&D last twice; can be involved again.
1	1 (1) (28/1 -367%) Satono Chevalier	28 28/1(-367%)	(1) Satono Chevalier 28/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 5/1, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) in April, ridden early in the straight and keeping on. Not out of things on return to action with promising rider taking off handy 5 lb. Won twice over 1m4f here early in the year and a solid Lingfield run after; absent since.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -18%) Eskimo Komet	33 33/1(-18%)	(4) Eskimo Komet 33/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 25/1, thirteenth of 16 in handicap at Galway (8.4f, good to soft). Off 125 days. Back up in trip. Chance on old form. Course winner over 7f has run well at times this year; poor when last seen but not ignored.
14	14 (14) (40/1 +0%) My Kurkum	40 40/1(+0%)	(14) My Kurkum 40/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap at Down Royal (7f, soft, 12/1) 72 days ago. Significantly up in trip now and the assessor continues to relinquish his grip. Worth noting if market speaks in his favour. AW winner in France has been mixing Flat and hurdles for this yard; has to return to form.
13	13 (13) (50/1 -100%) Rio Largo	50 50/1(-100%)	(13) Rio Largo 50/1, Latest win at Galway (7f) in July. 16/1, creditable eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 28 days ago, rider dropped whip around 1f out and no extra. Significantly back up in trip. Dual turf winner over 7f has form at this track but is unproven over this trip.

LTO Selection:

A cracking race for the grade. Ger Lyons' FAIRYTALE PRINCESS is moving through the ranks with some purpose and is taken to bring up her hat-trick. She has been really enjoying herself on Polytrack in winning three of her last four including twice over this trip. Satono Chevalier's two victories over 1m4f at this track in February earned him a shot at a valuable apprentice handicap on the All Weather Championships Finals Day at Lingfield in April, and he was only beaten just over a length and a-half into fifth. If fully wound up on his return, he would be a significant threat. Limestone Red's C&D success was boosted when the runner-up came out and scored last Friday. Final Check, Storm Eric, Walhaan and Spy add plenty of spice to the mix.

Plenty of in-form sorts including FINAL CHECK who showed further improvement for the step up in trip when making it 3 wins from her last 4 starts at Newcastle 33 days ago and all looks set fair for another bold showing. Fairytale Princess is another thriving filly and she's feared. Limestone Red and Walhaan can also feature.

Perhaps SPY could bridge the 2l deficit with Walhaan from last time now that the latter is 6lb higher.

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.
