16:00 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

HAVANA NOTION was able to build on a brace of promising efforts when winning over 6f here 10 days ago, and though a subsequent 5lb rise will ask sterner questions of him, he might be up to the task. Multiple course winner No Speed Limit likes to dominate proceedings, and he's berthed to do just that from his low draw. That said, Haumea showed good early tow when finishing second at Chelmsford in October, so she might apply some pressure out of stall one. Others to note include Below Deck and Zig Zag Zyggy.

A case can be made for a few of these but BELOW DECK arrives in very good order and can gain a deserved breakthrough success off a lenient-looking mark. Mulitple course scorer No Speed Limit heads the list of dangers, although Autumnal Breeze, Havana Notion, Haumea and Zig Zag Zyggy all need factoring in too.

The filly BELOW DECK ran with credit over six furlongs here last week and can reverse the form with Havana Notion back at 5f

A tricky puzzle to solve, in which it might pay to take a chance on CURSORY EXAM, who is able to compete from 17lb below his last winning mark. The six-year-old hasn't been at his best in recent starts, but there were signs of a return to form last time out, having been short of room approaching the two-furlong marker. General Idea's sole success came in a claiming event, though he has been running with credit here lately and the first-time visor could eke out more. Neddies Boy is another to consider.

Although SKY LEGEND was below par last time but he had been placed in 3 handicaps here prior to that and can bounce back to form with a bang dropped to a claimer. Overstate is another Denis Hogan runner weighted to have a say if returning to form on his first outing for the yard. Chica Linda could strip fitter for her recent comeback outing here and is also on the shortlist.

SKY LEGEND wasn't at his best here latest but may be hard to beat if he returns to the form of his placed efforts at end of 2023

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Having been on target over C&D on his debut, ELEGANT MAN finished an excellent second in behind former Breeders' Cup Turf hero Rebel's Romance in a Listed event at Kempton next time. The unexposed son of Arrogate should have plenty more in his locker, and he looks an exciting prospect for the Adrian Murray team. Freescape was a commanding winner over track and trip last month, so he appeals as the main danger. San Andreas is another that could have a say, for all that he has yet to conclusively prove his stamina at this trip.

A winner on debut over C&D, ELEGANT MAN showed improved form when chasing home a decidedly smart sort in listed company at Kempton 44 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come, he's fancied to make a bold bid back down in trip. San Andreas and Freescape are others fancied to feature.

The Kempton Listed second of ELEGANT MAN looks very strong form and the lightly raced 4yo could take the beating here

17:30 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

A surprise winner over this course and distance a fortnight ago, Gatsby Cap is noteworthy despite being 6lb worse off with Hale Bopp (fourth) on the revised terms. However, consistency isn't his strong point and there may be more mileage to be gained by siding with BIG DREAM. A previous course and distance winner, the selection wasn't beaten far at Newcastle 22 days ago and a step forward from that could prompt a return to wining ways. Roman Palace completes the shortlist.

BIG DREAM is back down to the mark he went very close from over C&D in November and might prove the answer. Play It Again Zaam ran his best race for a while when third over C&D last time and should be on the premises if in similar form. Roman Palace and Hale Bopp are others to consider.

An encouraging C&D third in December from a similar draw, PLAY IT AGAIN ZAAM is taken to get off the mark here

18:00 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

Bucky Larson hasn't won a handicap for over two years but sits on a competitive mark and can be a force in this company if recapturing some of his old sparkle. Fellow veteran, Zahee, also enters calculations based on peak performances and is respected off 12lb lower than the last of his two previous course and distance wins. However, the vote goes to TRISHULI RIVER, who bounced back to form with a determined effort over C&D in November and surely has more to give off just 3lb higher.

BUCKY LARSON has been shaping up well, runner-up despite not getting a clear run here last time, so it would be no great surprise were he to end a losing run here. In-form pair Feature This and Sunset Nova are obvious dangers.

Trainer Shane Crawley had a winner here last week and his TRISHULI RIVER could be another judged on her C&D defeat of Picture This

18:30 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

BUTTERFLY BUSH put her first two underwhelming starts behind her when hitting the frame on her all-weather debut over C&D earlier in the month. The three-year-old filly makes her handicap bow off a mark of 72, which could prove to be a lenient rating. Blue Soul finished third on her first start in the handicap ranks over 7f here last month and should go well off a 2lb higher rating, while Old Mexican is worth monitoring in the market on his handicap debut.

An open-looking 3-y-o handicap with the vote in favour of BLUE SOUL. Ger Lyons' filly shaped well with a view to stepping back in trip when third over 7f here last month and could yet have more to offer on the back of just 4 career starts. Exceeding also rates the type to do better and along with the selection's stablemate Alto Sax, heads up the dangers.

If BUTTERFLY BUSH finds improvement for her recent return, she could be the one to beat with a good mark to work with on h'cap debut

19:00 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

LOCAL GIRL posted her best effort yet when she was a half-length second to the now 83-rated Pier Pressure over this course and distance in November and a repeat of that level could suffice in this modest-looking maiden. Expound sets the standard on the official ratings and is feared most with first-time cheekpieces added, while Shanadar is closely matched with the selection, having finished a length and a half behind her in third in that aforementioned race. Come On The Lads is another to consider.

EXPOUND stands out on form and his new yard could get more out of him, so he takes preference over Shanadar, who also returns from a break. Come On The Lads can feature if back to the sort of form he showed on debut.

COME ON THE LADS could go well after an eyecatching run last week and this drop in trip may suit

19:30 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's race.

MANHATTAN DREAMER performed with credit when a close-up third over 6f here recently. This first attempt over 7f could unlock some more improvement, which would make Adrian Murray's filly tough to beat. Emerald Eclipse is a potential fly in the ointment on his opening bid and any market support for the Joseph O'Brien-trained colt would have to be respected, with I Bid You Ajou also worthy of consideration on his return to this distance.

The step up to this trip should suit MANHATTAN DREAMER, who has shaped well both starts here over 6f and she remains open to improvement. Newcomer Emerald Eclipse ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. I Bid You Ajou and Sobriety Blue are others to consider.

Not much strength in depth here with MANHATTAN DREAMER (nap) taken to see off I Bid You Ajou

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.
