13:30 Dundalk Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MINT MAN has two very solid runner-up finishes over 6f at this track and should cope with the drop to 5f in this company. He is very much best in at the weights of those with an official rating. Smart Impression has shown ability on all four starts and could go well on her first start since switching to Danny Murphy. Coulstar can show improvement on her third start. She was sixth over C&D a fortnight ago (behind Mint Man) and the form got a boost when the third came out and won here. Cross Border has a tough task at these weights, but has been placed in five of his last six races. He handles the Polytrack well and looks sure to run his race. There are winners in Old Chicago's pedigree and John Feane's newcomer is worth checking for market strength.

COULSTAR wasn't that far behind Mint Man over 6f here a couple of weeks ago. Given that was the Johnny Murtagh-trained filly's first outing for 7 months she can be expected to improve and might be worth siding with to turn the tables on her old rival.

This can go the way of MINT MAN who sets the standard on form after his narrow defeat when caught late here last time

14:00 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GARRICK PAINTER beat Obama Army and Picpoul into second and third respectively over C&D last month and has a shot of going in again off 5lb higher. He benefited from an enterprising ride off the front by Killian Leonard and the jockey is reunited with him. Considering that was Obama Army's first visit to Dundalk, there should be more to come from him. Unterberg won over further at this track before Christmas and has to rate a danger off 5lb higher. Emeric and Solar Breeze, in the first-time hood, will have their supporters.

PIERRE LAPIN has a pretty solid record here this winter and might be ready to strike again for Ado McGuinness. Last-time-out C&D 1-2 Garrick Painter and Obama Army should be in the thick of things again. Last year's winner Higher Kingdom would also enter the reckoning if getting a run.

This is competitive but PICPOUL is a recent C&D winner who had excuses when 3rd here latest and he's on an upward curve

14:35 Dundalk Maiden 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There was a lot to like about CURRUMBIN's debut over 1m at this venue. He didn't have the clearest route, but stayed on well to be a never nearer third. Based upon that, he ought to relish this step up in trip. There are certainly some interesting newcomers to note. Dermot Weld takes the wraps off Nathaniel gelding Thurmond who is out of a Dansili mare, while Joseph O'Brien introduces Frankel colt Cow Chico and Neski Sherelski who is a son of Churchill. O'Brien has saddled plenty of winners in Dundalk since the start of the year.

CURRUMBIN made a promising start here 3 weeks ago and hails from a family that has done well at Dundalk, so with improvement forthcoming he could be the way to go. The dangers will probably be newcomers, with Cow Chico and Thurmond likely types.

There was plenty to like about CURRUMBIN's debut when sticking on well for third despite looking green and he may improve for further

15:05 Dundalk Maiden 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CARLO BIANCONI was green on debut at Gowran Park last April, but still ran a lovely race to be just pipped by a short head. There should be plenty of improvement from him on his return to action. Luke Comer's horses have been running well since Dundalk recommenced this month. His Second Girl made a mockery of her 125/1 odds when taking the runner-up berth over C&D and she has to enter calculations. Blinkers could eke out a bit more from Squire Danagher who has finished third on his last couple of starts here including when just behind Second Girl. Expound just failed by a head over a shorter trip last week. He gets a hood and blinkers, and his chance has to be respected especially as he has form over this trip on turf.

CARLO BIANCONI made an encouraging debut and likely would have won had he kept straight when edged out late on in a Gowran maiden in April. That experience won't have been wasted on him and he can make a winning return to action with progress anticipated. Expound and Squire Danagher can give Joseph O'Brien's 4-y-o most to think about.

The once-raced CARLO BIANCONI may prove superior to the well-exposed Expound. The long-absent Morse is an intriguing runner.

15:35 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

REBECCA'S GIRL was placed a couple of times in maidens and may have more scope for improvement than many of these having made a promising start in handicaps here earlier this month. The Andrew Kinirons-trained filly kept on well in the closing stages and should be suited by this extra furlong. Hero Of The Hour won three times here over six furlongs early last year and has dropped down to an attractive mark. He was placed on a rare try over this trip back in November. Chummie made all to cause a 40/1 shock over a mile here last time and has the pace to drop back in distance, while Jazzy Dancer and Markievicz are others for the shortlist. The latter didn't enjoy a clear run last time over C&D.

Having bounced back to make all here 82 days ago, CHUMMIE is worth a chance to go in again from a mark that still looks lenient based on past efforts. Jazzy Dancer arrives in good order and looks a serious threat, while Hero of The Hour can make his presence felt if things drop right.

Twice successful in sprint handicaps on turf, MARKIEVICZ gets the vote having shown signs of a return to form over C&D last time

16:05 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

River Derwent's win from James Henry over C&D in November, with GOLDEN DAYS two lengths back in third, has been well advertised since and the Dick Donohoe-trained gelding is now fitted with blinkers after a couple of tardy starts on both outings since. Golden Days didn't enjoy the clearest of passages on that occasion and the daughter of Canford Cliffs, who has gained all three career wins over this distance, has a decent chance of reversing the places at the revised weights. Chica Power won a claimer over C&D in October and has been a model of consistency since while Jalo also won a claimer here the previous month over six furlongs and has been tried over a variety of trips since.

Having performed with credit in C&D handicaps the last twice, GOLDEN DAYS could be the answer. Eighty Eight has dipped to an attractive mark and is feared most, while Hezahunk, River Derwent and Tynamite are others to consider.

Third to River Derwent here in November, GOLDEN DAYS (nap) has a realistic chance of reversing form with that rival

16:35 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

VOLATILE ANALYST won six times for Keith Dalgleish over six and seven furlongs gaining a career high mark of 105 and has shaped well on all three outings since switched to this venue by current connections. The selection had Prisoners Dilemma and Brains both well behind when just failing by a head to Free Solo over C&D earlier this month. Final Voyage landed a valuable mile handicap at Lingfield last spring and was having his first outing in over six months when reappearing over an inadequate six furlongs here last time. Hodd's Girl is a six-time winner at this venue and is edging back down in the ratings despite some consistent placed runs while Little Keilee made most to win here just before Christmas.

PRISONER'S DILEMMA has been given a chance by the handicapper and left the impression that his turn could be near when third over 6f here recently. The return to this trip looks a good move and he shades preference ahead of the Adrian McGuinness-trained duo Hodd's Girl and Volatile Analyst.

This can go the way of AW specialist FINAL VOYAGE who ran well over an insufficient 6f last time and he's on a good mark

JERED MADDOX won twice over this C&D last winter and gained a seventh career win on the beach at Laytown in September. The David Marnane-trained gelding didn't enjoy the clearest of runs subsequently when a strong finishing fourth here behind Little Queenie, and now takes a drop in class after again putting in his best work at the finish over six when beaten just over a length behind Daamberdiplomat. Havana Notion and Irish Rumour, who is fitted with a tongue tie for the first time, filled the first two places over C&D earlier this month with Theriverrunsdeep less than a length back in fourth and there shouldn't be much to choose between the trio again. Distillate has a chance if reproducing her second to Inishmot Prince here last month.

IRISH RUMOUR is going the right way and shaped well again when runner-up to Havana Notion over C&D last time. With a tongue tie on for the first time, she's taken to reverse the form with her old rival in a race that the pair may dominate. Jered Maddox is also considered.

A few of these clashed 15 days ago in what looks like a key race. Runner-up IRISH RUMOUR may now take the measure of Havana Notion
