16:15 Dundalk Handicap 5f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
17	17 (17) (25/1 +0%) Phil's Dream	25 25/1(+0%)	(17) Phil's Dream 25/1, 5/1, probably needed the run in first-time blinkers after 4 months off when 9¼ lengths tenth of 12 to Senado Square in handicap at this course (6f) 5 days ago. RESERVE. Third reserve, ordinary form on turf, well-fancied last week on AW debut, posed no threat.
1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +14%) Samrogue	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Samrogue 3/1, 3-time C&D winner, latest in November. 7/2, creditable ¾-length third of 14 to Senado Square in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, slowly away. Looks competitive on form. Third behind Senado Square and Havana Notion last time when drawn high, merits respect.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/2 +66%) Below Deck	5.5 11/2(+66%)	(10) Below Deck 11/2, 13/2, shaped as if still in good form when 2 lengths fifth of 14 to Senado Square in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, doing too much too soon. Fifth on latest, has to reverse that form with Senado Square, Havana Notion and Samrogue.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 -44%) Havana Notion	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(6) Havana Notion 13/2, 13/2, wasted no time getting back to form when neck second of 14 to Senado Square in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Can make presence felt. Holds a leading chance now following neck second to Senado Square with Samrogue in third.
4	1 4th (1) (11/2 +21%) Loma Larnee	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(1) Loma Larnee 11/2, 18/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, resumed progress after 12 weeks off when third of 9 in maiden at this course (6f) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Gave a solid display when third behind the two market leaders in a maiden here last week.
5th	5 5th (5) (40/1 -233%) Reinforce	40 40/1(-233%)	(5) Reinforce 40/1, 9/2, not in same form as previously when tenth of 13 in handicap at this course (6f) 2 weeks ago. Eyeshields on 1st time, tongue strap back on. Can bounce back. Decent form in maidens especially early in juvenile campaign, has become disappointing.
6th	12 6th (12) (80/1 -142%) Maggie Thunder	80 80/1(-142%)	(12) Maggie Thunder 80/1, 3-time C&D winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. Failed to come on for recent run when 6½ lengths tenth of 14 to Senado Square in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 19 days ago. Three-time C&D winner; has struggled on turf and at this venue during light 2023 campaign.
7th	8 7th (8) (40/1 -150%) Adams Barbour	40 40/1(-150%)	(8) Adams Barbour 40/1, 5-time C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Ran badly when 8¼ lengths twelfth of 14 to Senado Square in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 19 days ago. All seven wins have come here but now apparently in decline, plenty to find on recent form.
8th	2 8th (2) (5/4 +9%) Senado Square	1.25 5/4(+9%)	(2) Senado Square 5/4, Improved again to make it 2 wins from his last 3 starts in 12-runner handicap (10/3) at this course (6f) 5 days ago, readily. Carries penalty and has to be taken seriously in his current mood. C&D winner, has a 7lb penalty after last week's 6f win, due to go up 12lb, obvious chance.
9th	14 9th (14) (125/1 -89%) Tynan	125 125/1(-89%)	(14) Tynan 125/1, 80/1, showed little again after 5 months off when eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f) 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Career-best when second over C&D just over a year ago, nothing else of merit in his form.
10th	3 10th (3) (16/1 +0%) Lockdown	16 16/1(+0%)	(3) Lockdown 16/1, Twelve runs since sole win in 2021. 11/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at this course (6f) 26 days ago. Runner-up over 6f here in October, failed to reproduce form over the same trip last time.
11th	15 11th (15) (125/1 -89%) Imperial Khan	125 125/1(-89%)	(15) Imperial Khan 125/1, 100/1, offered little on first outing since leaving Paul Midgley after 4 months off when ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time, cheekpieces back on. Others more persuasive. RESERVE. First reserve, turf winner in Britain, in rear over C&D on recent Irish debut.
12th	13 12th (13) (250/1 -279%) Qalahari Queen	250 250/1(-279%)	(13) Qalahari Queen 250/1, Visored for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap (100/1) at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Down in trip. Never closer than eighth in six handicap appearances, little apparent chance.
13th	11 13th (11) (66/1 -32%) Just Another	66 66/1(-32%)	(11) Just Another 66/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form seventh of 14 in handicap (50/1) at this course (6f) 2 weeks ago. Newcastle AW winner, recent course form does not inspire confidence, held by Senado Square.
14th	9 14th (9) (150/1 -200%) If But Maybe	150 150/1(-200%)	(9) If But Maybe 150/1, 150/1 and in hood/tongue strap for 1st time, hinted at temperament when last of 14 in maiden at this course (8f) 19 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Best of three course maiden runs when fourth over 6f on debut, poor over 5f and 1m since.

LTO Selection:

SAMROGUE could get her revenge on Senado Square. She was a close third behind him over C&D last month, but has a big pull in the weights now and is better drawn on this occasion. Senado Square is a big, strong horse who has really come to himself in winning two of his last three races in Dundalk. He races under the 7lb penalty for winning over 6f last Friday. His trainer, Andy Slattery, has often said he works like a higher-rated horse at home. Havana Notion has to enter the equation having split Senado Square and Samrogue in second in that aforementioned race when only caught close home. He has the best draw in stall one. Loma Larnee showed ability in third on Polytrack debut last week and gets first-time cheekpieces.

SENADO SQUARE, Havana Notion and Samrogue finished 1-2-3 when meeting over C&D at the beginning of the month and a repeat is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility with the selection having won again over 6f here last Friday. Loma Larnee put up an improved effort when third here last week and she's worth a second look fitted with cheekpieces for her handicap debut, too.

Set to go up 12lb as a result of last Friday's 6f win SENADO SQUARE has an obvious chance of defying the mandatory 7lb extra.

16:45 Dundalk Handicap 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	12 1st (12) (18/1 -13%) Enchanted Garden	18 18/1(-13%)	(12) Enchanted Garden 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, seventh of 14 in maiden at this C&D 28 days ago, never better than midfield. Work to do making handicap debut. Hinted at improvement on her first visit to this track, of some interest on handicap debut.
2	7 2nd (7) (8/1 -14%) The Bear Trap	8 8/1(-14%)	(7) The Bear Trap 8/1, Unreliable sort. 4/1, first run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when respectable seventh of 14 in nursery at this C&D 75 days ago. Capable of playing a part if putting it all together. Second in a Down Royal nursery and a Fairyhouse claimer, not as good at this venue.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 -85%) Blue Soul	12 12/1(-85%)	(2) Blue Soul 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 15/2, ninth of 13 in maiden at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Yard having good spell. Makes handicap debut. May be vulnerable on handicap debut; deserted by Colin Keane who has partnered her twice..
4	13 4th (13) (13/2 +59%) Gregorina	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(13) Gregorina 13/2, 33/1 and visored for 1st time, creditable fifth of 12 in nursery at this course (8f) 14 days ago, never nearer. Not out of things. Only a head behind Alto Sax here two weeks ago, also closely matched with Special Angel.
5th	1 5th (1) (Evens +56%) Alto Sax	0 Evens(+56%)	(1) Alto Sax Evens, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/2, respectable fourth of 12 in nursery at this course (8f) 14 days ago. One of 3 runners from this yard and respected with Colin Keane aboard. Only fourth behind a longer-priced stablemate last time, should go close despite high draw.
6th	11 6th (11) (20/1 -43%) Mary Bagot	20 20/1(-43%)	(11) Mary Bagot 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eleventh of 14 in maiden at this course (6f, 125/1) 19 days ago. Stable in good form. Makes handicap debut and return to this longer trip may help. Hard to take much encouragement from two course maiden outings since joining this team.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 -146%) Masonbrook Meadow	16 16/1(-146%)	(4) Masonbrook Meadow 16/1, 16/5, ninth of 10 in nursery at this course (6f) 7 days ago, lost all chance at start due to stalls malfunction. Displayed fair form previously upon joining present stable and not dismissed out of hand. Lost ground at the start over 6f last week, better judged on previous 7f/1m displays.
8th	14 8th (14) (150/1 -200%) Maple Star	150 150/1(-200%)	(14) Maple Star 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, twelfth of 14 in maiden at this course (5f) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Visored for 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Towards the back in three maiden runs including over 5f at this track, makes no appeal.
9th	6 9th (6) (22/1 -120%) Signor Ferrari	22 22/1(-120%)	(6) Signor Ferrari 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in nursery at this course (5f) 21 days ago. Much more needed stepping up significantly in trip. Fifth of seven in a 5f nursery here three weeks ago, plenty of improvement required.
10th	10 10th (10) (28/1 -40%) Guest Star	28 28/1(-40%)	(10) Guest Star 28/1, 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in nursery at this course (8f) 14 days ago, racing off the pace and unable to land a blow. Well-exposed sort who is now looking regressive, held by Alto Sax on running last time.
11th	9 11th (9) (50/1 -317%) Go Go Gonzo	50 50/1(-317%)	(9) Go Go Gonzo 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, eighth of 10 in nursery at this course (6f) 7 days ago. More needed if he's to open his account here. One of three runners for Ger Lyons, Colin Keane on Alto Sax, others much preferred.
12th	8 12th (8) (12/1 +25%) Special Angel	12 12/1(+25%)	(8) Special Angel 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 100/1, creditable sixth of 12 in nursery at this course (8f) 14 days ago, switched early in the straight and making late headway. Needs to build on that here. Not far off Alto Sax and Gregorina when a staying on-sixth over 1m in her first nursery,.
13th	3 13th (3) (12/1 -100%) Fickou	12 12/1(-100%)	(3) Fickou 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 28/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at this course (5f) 47 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut and betting may prove a useful guide. This longer trip may help to bring about improvement in her first handicap.
14th	5 14th (5) (16/1 +36%) Lady Craftsman	16 16/1(+36%)	(5) Lady Craftsman 16/1, Winner at Bellewstown in July. 14/1, eighth of 12 in claimer at this C&D 19 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter. Disappointing since 1m Bellewstown maiden win on her second start, blinkers tried now.

LTO Selection:

Ger Lyons is having a profitable Winter Series in Dundalk and ALTO SAX looks another likely sort for him. This Saxon Warrior gelding was unplaced over C&D in October, but was only beaten less than two lengths. He had a less than clear route when finishing fourth over 1m on his latest start here, when well backed, and losses could be recovered. Masonbrook Meadow was well fancied for a nursery over 6f at this track last week, but was left trailing in rear after a stalls delay when she anticipated the start. She is well worth another chance to get off the mark. Lyons' second-string Blue Soul avails of James Ryan's 5lb claim and has shown enough in three maidens to be competitive. Signor Ferrari is up in trip after running in sprint maidens won by some useful sorts and has better claims than most while there could be more to come from The Bear Trap on this surface.

ALTO SAX again ran well on just his second start in nurseries when fourth in a stronger contest over 1m here 2 weeks ago and shades the vote to come out on top. Masonbrook Meadow and Gregorina are a couple of others to consider.

The negative of a high draw for ALTO SAX is outweighed by the fact that Colin Keane is arguably the best rider to counteract it

16:45 Dundalk Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:15 Dundalk Handicap 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (6/1 -9%) Apache Outlaw	6 6/1(-9%)	(4) Apache Outlaw 6/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at this course (6f, 4/1) 21 days ago. One of 3 solid contenders for Ado McGuinness. Second to Dandyville three weeks ago, has an edge over Hodd's Girl and Big Gossey on that.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/2 +38%) Pier Pressure	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(8) Pier Pressure 5/2, Blinkered first time, career best when winning 7-runner minor event (10/3) at this C&D 26 days ago by ½ length from Hightimeyouwon. This low-mileage 3-y-o may have more to offer. Up 6lb for two wins, and could be well handicapped now that he has got the hang of things.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -100%) Hodd's Girl	9 9/1(-100%)	(3) Hodd's Girl 9/1, 6-time course winner. 9/2, respectable second of 9 in handicap at this course (8f) 12 days ago, missing break. Yard in good form. Booking of Keane a plus. Leading contender. Tough and durable mare with a 6-26 record at this venue, holds solid recent credentials.
4	1 4th (1) (28/1 -155%) Big Gossey	28 28/1(-155%)	(1) Big Gossey 28/1, Course winner. Latest win at the Curragh in November. Sixth of 7 in handicap at this course (6f, 4/1) 21 days ago. Better known for his prowess as a sprinter but won over this trip on his penultimate start.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 -441%) Dandyville	18 18/1(-441%)	(2) Dandyville 18/1, C&D winner. Seven wins from 25 Flat runs. Good second of 7 in handicap (15/8) at this course (6f) 21 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Miss Natalia Lupini. Generally reliable over the past 15 months, went close on latest, first run for this yard.
6th	6 6th (6) (3/1 +60%) Hightimeyouwon	3 3/1(+60%)	(6) Hightimeyouwon 3/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Leopardstown in August. Good ½-length second of 7 to Pier Pressure in minor event at this C&D (11/4) 26 days ago. Trainer going well. Consistent lately, closely matched with Pier Pressure on running in a conditions event.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 -41%) Marsa	12 12/1(-41%)	(9) Marsa 12/1, Three-time C&D winner. Five wins from 17 Flat runs. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm, 33/1). Off 171 days. Has good chance on form. Four of her five wins gained here including three over this trip, definite chance.
8th	5 8th (5) (22/1 -38%) Ransom	22 22/1(-38%)	(5) Ransom 22/1, Course winner. 16/1, step back in right direction when third of 9 in handicap (16/1) at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Well treated if he can build on that. Signs of a revival when third here 12 days ago 1 1/4l behind runner-up Hodd's Girl over 1m.
9th	7 9th (7) (7/2 +61%) Vadiana	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(7) Vadiana 7/2, C&D winner in October. 11/4, 6¼ lengths eleventh of 12 to Many Tears in listed race at this course (8f) 40 days ago, finding little. More chance back in a handicap. Narrow C&D handicap win in October, back down in grade after Listed bid here last month.

LTO Selection:

HODD'S GIRL caught a tartar when runner-up over 1m earlier this month. She has winning form over this trip and is certainly on a mark she can be effective off. Dandyville has been in consistent form on the Polytrack in winning over C&D before posting a pair of placed efforts over 6f. He looks sure to be involved on his first start for his new stable. Pier Pressure is a three-year-old going the right way as he guns for a C&D hat-trick. He has won his last two races by half a length, so it is probably tricky for the handicapper to get a handle on him. Vadiana didn't put her best foot forward in Listed company here but previously enjoyed this trip and is definitely one to note.

Quite a useful handicap. The returning MARSA has an excellent course record and might be able to fend off a strong Ado McGuinness challenge, headed by Hodd's Girl and Apache Outlaw.

Hard to rule out any of these. It may be worth taking a chance with MARSA who has won four of her seven races at this venue

17:15 Dundalk Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:45 Dundalk Handicap 7f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
16	16 (16) (12/1 -50%) Rebecca's Girl	12 12/1(-50%)	(16) Rebecca's Girl 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 5/1, below form seventh of 13 in maiden at Fairyhouse (7f, good to soft). Off 93 days. Makes handicap debut. Something to prove. RESERVE. Second reserve; close third in a sprint maiden on soft at Navan in July; handicap debut.
1	14 1st (14) (8/1 -7%) Sunset Nova	8 8/1(-7%)	(14) Sunset Nova 8/1, 5-time course winner. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 7 days ago. Close third over 1m two weeks ago and didn't have the clearest of runs last week; claims.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +25%) Circles	3 3/1(+25%)	(3) Circles 3/1, C&D winner. 7/1, respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, nearest finish. Has recaptured a bit of form of late; good chance of being a factor if she gets away.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 -25%) Dutch Glory	5 5/1(-25%)	(1) Dutch Glory 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Listowel in June. Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (7/1) 7 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Ran on late to finish a good third over C&D last week; should go well despite a bad draw.
4	13 4th (13) (28/1 +15%) Markievicz	28 28/1(+15%)	(13) Markievicz 28/1, 18/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Handicap mark going down but no signs of late that she might take advantage.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/4 +39%) River Derwent	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(4) River Derwent 11/4, C&D winner. Latest win here in November. Creditable fifth of 14 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 7 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Booking of Keane a plus. Others more persuasive. Unable to follow up last week but that was after a slow start; should go well though.
6th	10 6th (10) (9/1 +36%) Cherry Bloom	9 9/1(+36%)	(10) Cherry Bloom 9/1, Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Creditable runs over 7f last thrice but questionable whether she sees it out.
7th	9 7th (9) (14/1 +44%) Bellick	14 14/1(+44%)	(9) Bellick 14/1, 4-time course winner. 28/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Booking of Foley a plus. Visored for 1st time. Out of form here this winter although not beaten far last week; visor tried here.
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 -80%) Wonder Spirit	18 18/1(-80%)	(6) Wonder Spirit 18/1, Course winner. One win from 22 Flat runs. 20/1, tenth of 16 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft). Off 7 months.

11th	8 11th (8) (33/1 +34%) Anaelle	33 33/1(+34%)	(8) Anaelle 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (8f). Off 127 days. Plenty to find on form. Slightly better outcome in a 1m handicap here in August when last seen; others preferred.
12th	2 12th (2) (150/1 -355%) Love Mocha	150 150/1(-355%)	(2) Love Mocha 150/1, First run since leaving Mrs J. Harrington when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 7 days ago. Well beaten on her stable debut here last week and should be capable of better.
13th	11 13th (11) (25/1 -233%) Happenstance	25 25/1(-233%)	(11) Happenstance 25/1, C&D winner. 100/1, respectable fifth of 10 in juvenile hurdle at Cork (16.8f, heavy) 10 days ago. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. No real impression in handicaps this year or in two starts over hurdles when not settling.
14th	5 14th (5) (10/1 -54%) Pulse Of Shanghai	10 10/1(-54%)	(5) Pulse Of Shanghai 10/1, 3-time C&D winner. Thirty eight runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, 15/2) 19 days ago. Unable to get involved over 6f here last week and could do better back over this trip.

LTO Selection:

CIRCLES needs to break better but, if she does, she is on a dangerous mark. This Holy Roman Emperor filly caught the eye keeping on for fourth after a tardy start last week. Seamie Heffernan, who has been on board for both of her C&D successes, gets the leg up and has ridden five winners at the last two Wednesday meetings in Dundalk. Dutch Glory wasn't beaten far into fifth last week on her first run for almost four months. She is entitled to come on from that, but does have a tough draw to negotiate. John McConnell's stable is beginning to fire the winners in again and his Bellick could run well at a price. He is really sliding down the weights and a first-time visor could reinvigorate him. Sunset Nova is more than capable of running into a place at least off his lowly mark, while champion jockey Colin Keane is a notable booking for C&D winner River Derwent.

Having shaped well back from a four-month break here last week, DUTCH GLORY looks the way to go with Pulse of Shanghai next on the list. Circles is also shortlisted, while River Derwent is not without hope either.

Preference is for RIVER DERWENT, a winner here last month before running well after a slow start last week with Keane booked

18:15 Dundalk Handicap 7f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	13 1st (13) (9/1 -38%) Tynamite	9 9/1(-38%)	(13) Tynamite 9/1, 5-time course winner. Twenty five runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, creditable fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Merits consideration. Back in trip after a a solid effort over 1m two weeks ago and should go well.
2	2 2nd (2) (15/8 +46%) Irish Rumour	1.875 15/8(+46%)	(2) Irish Rumour 15/8, 11/2, creditable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Attracted support last time and is worth taking a chance on in what looks a weaker race. Staying third in a C&D handicap last month; ran to a similar level three weeks later.
3	11 3rd (11) (11/1 +45%) Saoirses Lulaby	11 11/1(+45%)	(11) Saoirses Lulaby 11/1, 11/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 14 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Others make more appeal. Nothing went right dropped back to this trip here last week; worth another try.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 -133%) Cherry Pink	14 14/1(-133%)	(6) Cherry Pink 14/1, 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, twenty first of 23 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good). Off 129 days. Trainer going well. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. 12lb lower than when third on her handicap debut here in February; blinkers tried.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -40%) Brookie Cookie	28 28/1(-40%)	(7) Brookie Cookie 28/1, Bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (6f, 66/1) 14 days ago, not clear run. Others make more appeal. Ran okay after a slow start on her AW debut two weeks ago; others preferred.
6th	10 6th (10) (10/3 +17%) Mether	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(10) Mether 10/3, 8/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago. Lightly raced and may do better still. Stepped up on previous form over C&D when a staying-on fourth last week; big contender.
7th	9 7th (9) (33/1 +0%) Man Is King	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Man Is King 33/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 28/1, eighth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, merely closing up late. Beaten around 5l over C&D on third start for yard and slightly improved on that last week.
8th	4 8th (4) (12/1 -20%) Airgead	12 12/1(-20%)	(4) Airgead 12/1, Course winner. Latest win here in November. 11/2, last of 12 in handicap at this course (8f) 28 days ago. Not the easiest to rely upon. First win since 2020 in a C&D handicap last month but last of 12 since; not ruled out.
9th	1 9th (1) (9/1 -80%) Hale Bopp	9 9/1(-80%)	(1) Hale Bopp 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in September. Creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 10/1) 40 days ago. Not discounted. Ran okay over 1m here last month; could go well but 7f on the short side for him.
10th	8 10th (8) (28/1 +15%) Gidwa	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Gidwa 28/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 7 days ago, not clear run. Something to prove. Three AW wins over this trip when trained in Britain but totally out of form at present.
11th	3 11th (3) (25/1 -257%) Alfarida	25 25/1(-257%)	(3) Alfarida 25/1, 14/1, thirteenth of 17 in handicap at Cork (7f, good to soft). Off 112 days. Others make more appeal. Touched off over 1m here in July; not seen since down the field at Cork in August.
12th	14 12th (14) (80/1 -100%) Vormir	80 80/1(-100%)	(14) Vormir 80/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2020. 100/1, last of 18 in handicap at Galway (11.8f, heavy) 51 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Visored for 1st time, tongue strap on for 1st time. inconsistent and could run over any trip; not much appeal and tried in headgear here.
13th	12 13th (12) (100/1 -150%) Try Hard	100 100/1(-150%)	(12) Try Hard 100/1, 18/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Up against it. Modest 10-race maiden hasn't shown enough to be fancied; safe to overlook.
14th	5 14th (5) (17/2 +58%) Fastman	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(5) Fastman 17/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. 16/1, first run since leaving John McConnell when sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 12 days ago. Short of room and ran about in a 1m handicap two weeks ago on stable debut.

LTO Selection:

The veteran TYNAMITE showed that there could be another victory in him when keeping on for fourth over 1m this month. The winner of that race endorsed the form when going in again the following week. Irish Rumour's third place on penultimate start over C&D is one of the better pieces of recent form and Colin Keane comes in for the ride. Mether has posted a trio of fourth places at three different trips in Dundalk. He represents a shrewd stable and is likely to be heavily involved. Saoirses Lulaby disappointed on her last start and the cheekpieces that were deployed then have been dispensed with. Her previous two efforts in fourth and third at this track would bring her into contention, though.

IRISH RUMOUR ran with credit in a slightly stronger race last time and she's worth chancing with Colin Keane taking over. Mether and Hale Bopp are both feasible dangers but most of the others have something to prove.

The one to be on could well be METHER after a solid effort over C&D last week. A reproduction would see him go close

Info	Form	Odds
1	3 1st (3) (15/2 +6%) Big Dynasty	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(3) Big Dynasty 15/2, Foaled February 8. €37,500 yearling, Almanzor colt. Half-brother to French 1¼m/10.5f winner Grimaud. Dam useful French 1m-9.5f winner (including at 2 yrs). Newcomer to note in the betting. Half-brother to a middle-distance winner, from a top yard but faces a tough introduction.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +0%) Barnso	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Barnso 4/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Won 14-runner maiden at this course (7f, 6/4) 68 days ago, driven out. Course maiden winner over 7f, not well treated relative to Serious Notions and Bergamasco.
3	11 3rd (11) (6/4 -36%) Serious Notions	1.5 6/4(-36%)	(11) Serious Notions 6/4, Fairly useful maiden. 11/8, below form fourth of 13 in minor event at this course (7f) 14 days ago but sets the bar high on the form her Leopardstown listed third prior to that. Blinkers on 1st time. Form of Listed third gives her a big chance, disappointing here on latest, blinkered now.
4	5 4th (5) (150/1 +0%) Old Mexican	150 150/1(+0%)	(5) Old Mexican 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, eighth of 13 in maiden at this C&D 12 days ago. One place behind stablemate Hoover Dam here 12 days ago, not a strong contender.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 -29%) Bergamasco	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(2) Bergamasco 9/2, Fairly useful gelding. C&D winner. Winner here in November. Creditable third of 13 in minor event at this course (7f, 16/1) 14 days ago. Should give a good account. In front of Serious Notions last time, that rival better suited by the race conditions now.
6th	4 6th (4) (125/1 +17%) Hoover Dam	125 125/1(+17%)	(4) Hoover Dam 125/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at this C&D on debut 12 days ago. Not a bad first effort here 12 days ago but unlikely to trouble previous winners.
7th	6 7th (6) (10/3 +0%) Pomeriggio	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(6) Pomeriggio 10/3, Fair filly. Career best when winning 12-runner claimer (5/1) at this course (7f) 19 days ago, driven clear. Smooth winner of a 7f claimer here at the beginning of the month; more on her plate now.
8th	13 8th (13) (150/1 -200%) Sylkie	150 150/1(-200%)	(13) Sylkie 150/1, Once-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in maiden at this C&D (18/1) on debut 26 days ago, missing break. Slowly away and never in contention over C&D on debut, may need further judged on that.
9th	9 9th (9) (16/1 +84%) Galician Girl	16 16/1(+84%)	(9) Galician Girl 16/1, Twice-raced maiden. Eighth of 13 in minor event at this course (7f, 200/1) 14 days ago. Stable having good spell. Has shown a bit of ability in two runs at big odds so far, plenty of improvement required.
10th	12 10th (12) (200/1 -100%) Still She Blooms	200 200/1(-100%)	(12) Still She Blooms 200/1, Once-raced maiden. 125/1, tenth of 14 in maiden at this C&D on debut 26 days ago. No impact on debut here last month though finished in front of Out For A Stroll and Sylkie.
11th	7 11th (7) (150/1 -50%) Alabama Calling	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Alabama Calling 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 11/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Navan (5f, good to soft) on debut, missing break. Off 158 days. Significantly up in trip. Slowly away and never involved in a 5f maiden at Navan in July, may do better now.
12th	10 12th (10) (200/1 -100%) Out For A Stroll	200 200/1(-100%)	(10) Out For A Stroll 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, eleventh of 14 in maiden at this C&D 26 days ago. Down the field on debut at Galway; no improvement over C&D last month; does not appeal yet.
13th	8 13th (8) (150/1 -50%) Dreamline Amelia	150 150/1(-50%)	(8) Dreamline Amelia 150/1, Foaled March 20. €9,500 yearling, Bobby's Kitten filly. Sister to useful 6f-1m winner All Go and half-sister to 9f winner Dea Giulia. Pedigree suggests she may need middle distances, a rare juvenile runner for this yard.

LTO Selection:

SERIOUS NOTIONS has the ability and rating (91) to make the breakthrough. Ger Lyons' filly showed up well on turf when pipped by a nose on debut at Leopardstown and when third in Listed class at the same track in September. In truth, her Polytrack debut fourth was a little underwhelming, but the winner is smart and she gets first-time blinkers which could eke out improvement. Bergamasco was a place in front of Serious Notions in third on his last start. He has C&D winning form and has to rate a danger. Pomeriggio was strong in winning over 7f at this venue and shouldn't have any trouble with the extra furlong on offer here. Barnso won his maiden over 7f at this track in October and is a contender for prize money, while Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Big Dynasty is worth a market check.

The step up to 1m should suit SERIOUS NOTIONS who is given another chance having fluffed her lines when a beaten favourite over 7f here a couple of weeks ago. This race doesn't appear to have as much depth to it and she should prove too strong for previous winners Bergamasco, who was place ahead of the selection last time, and Barnso

Despite a failure to run to market expectations when fourth here two weeks ago, SERIOUS NOTIONS merits the vote in first-time blinkers

1	4 1st (4) (15/2 +38%) Garrick Painter	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(4) Garrick Painter 15/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, good eighth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Can't be fully dismissed. Onlly beaten a couple of lengths in a tongue-tie here two weeks ago; not dismissed.
2	8 2nd (8) (28/1 -75%) Obama Army	28 28/1(-75%)	(8) Obama Army 28/1, 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Jack Channon when last of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, soft) on NH debut 39 days ago. Others have achieved more. No show over hurdles at Down Royal last month but respected back on the level.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/4 +18%) Picpoul	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(6) Picpoul 9/4, Improved on recent efforts to win 14-runner handicap at this C&D (7/1) 7 days ago, driven clear. Remains well treated on old form and worth a chance to go in again. Convincing C&D success last week; up 8lb for that but that is not guaranteed to stop her.
4	11 4th (11) (17/2 -31%) Snag It	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(11) Snag It 17/2, C&D winner. 10/3, creditable seventh of 14 in handicap at this C&D 26 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should give a good account. Did not run to his best off this mark later in the month; slight question to answer now.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/2 -38%) Hasten Slowly	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(7) Hasten Slowly 11/2, 10/1, won 14-runner handicap at this C&D 19 days ago by short head from Not Just Any Eagle. Should go well again. Won over C&D three weeks ago; up 4lb for that but could still be well handicapped.
6th	2 6th (2) (13/2 +35%) Higher Kingdom	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(2) Higher Kingdom 13/2, C&D winner. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 20/1) 14 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Not ruled out. More encouraging effort over 1m here last week; trip not an issue and can go well.
7th	10 7th (10) (16/1 -100%) Darkened	16 16/1(-100%)	(10) Darkened 16/1, Creditable 2 lengths fourth of 14 to Snag It in handicap (8/1) at this C&D 42 days ago, met some trouble. Rejoined yard after leaving Shane Kieran Ryder. One to monitor closely in the betting. Just denied over C&D in October and ran to a similar level when last seen early last month.
8th	12 8th (12) (15/2 -7%) Kitty McFee	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(12) Kitty McFee 15/2, 4/1, respectable fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D 61 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can make presence felt. Ran around when a disappointing favourite over C&D in October; cheekpieces tried here.
9th	1 9th (1) (16/1 -14%) Celebrating Ethel	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Celebrating Ethel 16/1, Winner at Leopardstown in August. 14/1, below form eighth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 14 days ago.

10th	3 10th (3) (14/1 +44%) Wrecking Ball Paul	14 14/1(+44%)	(3) Wrecking Ball Paul 14/1, 11/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Naas (10.5f, good to soft). Off 115 days. Possibly found race coming too soon last time and might bounce back after more of a break. Flat form just okay and tends to race too keenly; best watched after four months off.
11th	15 11th (15) (16/1 -33%) Cursory Exam	16 16/1(-33%)	(15) Cursory Exam 16/1, 3-time C&D winner. Good fifth of 14 in handicap at this C&D (25/1) 28 days ago, nearest finish. RESERVE. First reserve; all three wins have come over 1m2f and best run for some time on latest.
12th	9 12th (9) (50/1 -52%) Venetian	50 50/1(-52%)	(9) Venetian 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Tenth of 14 in handicap at this course (8f, 100/1) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Very hard to make a case for. Towards the rear in three Irish starts and makes little appeal on that form.
13th	13 13th (13) (100/1 -300%) Cruiscin Lan	100 100/1(-300%)	(13) Cruiscin Lan 100/1, Last of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Listowel (12f, soft) 90 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First run for yard after leaving Kevin Prendergast. Something to find on form. Well beaten on heavy at Listowel when last seen; AW and stable debut here; best watched.
14th	5 14th (5) (80/1 -220%) Spyfall	80 80/1(-220%)	(5) Spyfall 80/1, 200/1, fifteenth of 19 in novice hurdle at Navan (16f, heavy) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Poor on last Flat outing. Well beaten in a trio of maiden hurdles; cheekpieces tried here and best watched.

LTO Selection:

HASTEN SLOWLY swooped to conquer over C&D at the start of the month and the form was boosted when the fourth home came out and won on his next start. A 4lb rise in the weights shouldn't be insurmountable for Hasten Slowly. Picpoul's price almost halved last Friday and the money proved well founded as she bounced back to form in ready fashion. Michael Rice's five-year-old mare came in by an easy three and a half lengths over this trip and, if in the same mood, would be a big player off 8lb higher. Higher Kingdom has definitely been given a chance by the handicapper and signalled a return to form when sixth over a shorter trip earlier this month. Darkened is back with Denis Hogan who trained him to five victories. Paddy Harnett's 5lb claim has him on a competitive mark and he should be in the mix for prize money.

PICPOUL bounced back to capitalise on a reduced mark over C&D a week ago and she's still on a good mark, so she gets the nod over fellow last-time-out winner Hasten Slowly. Darkened will be of serious interest if the market speaks in his favour on debut for a new stable.

The last stride success of HASTEN SLOWLY here last month was the kickstart for the revival in John McConnell's fortunes, she will do

Cheekpieces on 1st time. Player now stepping up in trip. Better ground is likely to suit and telling that Colin Keane is booked; one to beat.

8th	1 8th (1) (150/1 -200%) Ganderstown	150 150/1(-200%)	(1) Ganderstown 150/1, Making GB/IRE Flat debut. Eleventh of 14 in novice hurdle (25/1) at Clonmel (16.2f, heavy) 13 days ago. Not much to recommend in a bumper and three maiden hurdles; safe to look elsewhere.

11th	10 11th (10) (100/1 +0%) Primitivo	100 100/1(+0%)	(10) Primitivo 100/1, Once-raced colt. 50/1, tenth of 14 in maiden at this course (10.7f) on debut 33 days ago. Should improve for his debut run here and the step up in trip but others more likely.
12th	6 12th (6) (150/1 -50%) Cage Rattler	150 150/1(-50%)	(6) Cage Rattler 150/1, Once-raced gelding. Last of 13 in maiden (150/1) at Gowran (8f, good to soft) on debut. Off 15 months. Significantly up in trip. Remote last in a Gowran maiden 14 months ago on his sole start; hard to fancy.
13th	9 13th (9) (100/1 +0%) Hollywood Star	100 100/1(+0%)	(9) Hollywood Star 100/1, Twice-raced colt. 125/1 and hooded for 1st time, ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (10.7f) 12 days ago. Better effort on his second start over 1m2f earlier this month; hood is retained here.

LTO Selection:

SQUIRE DANAGHER could be worth chancing up in trip on his first run on Polytrack. Andy Oliver's colt is a nicely-bred sort who has performed with credit in three outings on turf, particularly when third at the Curragh and In Navan. Churchill filly New Phenomenon is also up in trip, but has the experience of a third place on Polytrack debut this month. She was also runner-up on the grass at Gowran Park in June and looks to be a leading contender. Garrybello has the advantage of finishing third over C&D at the end of last month and could be the one to profit if there are any stamina frailties with the aforementioned pair.

Lots of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks a good opportunity for GARRYBELLO to build on his promising third over C&D and add to his two hurdling successes. Squire Danagher has an absence to overcome but still rates a big threat, with New Phenomenon appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Slight preference is for GARRYBELLO, a surprise package when a staying third in a C&D maiden last month and could improve again

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.
