LTO Selection:

15:55 Dundalk Claimer 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOTFORALONGTIME justified strong support in the market when scoring over C&D in December and Laura Hourigan's charge looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to complete a double. Having posted a promising second on his stable bow in a handicap here last time out, Monzoon cannot be taken lightly reverting to this company. Winemaker and Dutch Glory are other likely players judged on the ratings.

NOTFORALONGTIME landed a few tidy bets when recording a third course success here a couple of months ago and kept to claiming company, Laura Hourigan's 7-y-o looks sure to go close again. This is Allo Arry's first go in this grade so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, with Dutch Glory and Monzoon another couple fancied to feature.

Winner of a similar race over C&D in December, beating Monzoon narrowly, NOTFORALONGTIME can repeat the feat.

(8) Aisling Oscar 11/8, 6/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (8f) 17 days ago, by ½ length from Mary Bagot. That was a muddling affair, but he's still respected in his follow-up bid from a 4 lb higher mark.

Made some late headway last time; worth a market check on handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

16:25 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AISLING OSCAR was rated just 47 when making a winning handicap debut over 1m here 17 days ago and, with just 4lb more to shoulder, a quick follow-up success is a very feasible outcome if he copes with dropping back a furlong. Mary Bagot was a half-length second in that race and is noteworthy with a 3lb pull. Signor Ferrari (fourth) didn't get much luck in running that day and is also feared, despite having made little impression when previously tried over this trip.

STILL SHE BLOOMS has finished down the field all 3 starts to date, but she wasn't knocked about on her most recent outing and is bred to be better than the modest opening mark, so she could be worth chancing. Aising Oscar and Mary Bagot are closely matched on form, and they head the opposition.

3lb better off for a half length beating by Aisling Oscar over a mile here last time, MARY BAGOT might be able to turn the tables.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Dundalk Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A promising third on his first start over C&D last month, NERANO showed more than enough to suggest that he can get off the mark this time around for his in-form connections. Late Night Talking has shaped well on his last two starts and stepping up in trip should aid his cause, while Pepper Noir was eye-catching when keeping on late when making his own debut last month.

Only a handful of these make any serious appeal with NERANO taken to confirm his debut promise over C&D 8 weeks ago and go a couple of places better. Late Night Talking has hit the frame on both starts here in recent weeks so he may emerge as the main danger, with Pepper Noir and the selection's stablemate Beyond Your Dreams rounding off the shortlist.

Having finished a solid third on debut over C&D, NERANO(nap) should be able to build upon that and go two better

Modest efforts in three hurdle runs; unlikely to make a major impact.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Dundalk Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

An eye-catcher when runner-up on her first start here last month, GIOIELLA should have plenty of improvement forthcoming and the booking of Colin Keane catches the eye as she looks to break the maiden. Oriental Dancer is another who has only recently came to these shores and she is a leading contender, along with Beauty Bella (fifth), who has a length to find with the selection from their most recent meeting.

French import GIOIELLA made a positive start for this yard when runner-up over 7f here in December and she is taken to go one better now upped to a mile. Oriental Dancer is 0-9 but she is consistent and looks sure to be involved in the finish, while Beauty Bella and Lauroline are others with claims.

With some improvement likely from her runner-up effort over 7f here on Irish debut, GIOIELLA can get off the mark.

First attempt at 1m and definite prospects if seeing it out.

Lightly-raced mare unbeaten here in two starts at 7f; nicely drawn and should stay trip.

Just 1-22 on the Flat, plenty to find with some of these on run here a fortnight ago.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Miqdaad benefitted from the terms of the race when he won a maiden here last week but doesn't look particularly well treated for his debut run in a handicap. CHARLISSE, on the other hand, was in unstoppable form when she landed a slightly weaker race over the 7f circuit when last seen and, given she is currently 2-2 at this venue, it's feasible the Camacho mare can be a player in this grade. Skontonovski and On Our Radar are a couple of others to consider.

SUPERIOR FORCE's losing run tempers enthusiasm, but he stepped up on his reappearance run when third behind a thriving sort over C&D 17 days ago and, having eased in the weights a little more, he could be worth siding with to get back to winning ways. On Our Radar on his first try at 1m, Skontonovski and Morning Approach are a trio of others to consider.

Very open, with a tentative vote going to MORNING APPROACH, whose recent narrow defeat has been franked since

Better for recent comeback run and could have more to offer now entering handicaps.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

STAR HARBOUR was far from disgraced when finishing fourth on his reappearance in a conditions event here last week. The refitting of a visor and a return to this distance in handicap company may be enough for the six-year-old to regain the winning thread. Satono Chevalier arrives in good form and is expected to give another good account, while Yokkell warrants respect in her quest to land a hat-trick.

The vote goes to SATONO CHEVALIER, who has barely put a foot wrong on the all-weather and he meets Yokkell on significantly better terms than when a close third to that rival in a 10.7f handicap here in December. This step back up in trip looks a good move for the selection, who is 2-3 over C&D. Yokkell followed up back at this course next time but she's plenty high enough in the weights for now and Star Harbour, who didn't shape at all badly here last month, is feared most.

The hat-trick seeking YOKKELL could be up to the task, remaining unexposed at this trip

LTO Selection:

19:00 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A wide draw didn't stop MOONDHARRIG seizing the initiative when he made all to win over C&D 17 days ago. The fitting of first-time blinkers was a big factor in that improved display and, with the headgear retained, the Eoin Doyle-trained gelding could again be hard to reel in from a much more favourable stalls position. Fellow last-time-out winner Dark Street is feared most, while Tara Power and Barretstown are others with the ability to figure strongly.

BARRETSTOWN won this off a similar mark on last year's reappearance and might be able to repeat the feat having run well here when last seen in September. Last-time-out C&D scorers Dark Street and Moondharrig head the many dangers along with unexposed handicap newcomer Gentle Breath.

Although yet to convince over this trip it could be worth keeping the faith with TARA POWER, an unlucky loser here last month

LTO Selection:

19:30 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A big run from Moondharrig in division one of this race would be a boost for DON'T LOOK NOW, who was a head second to that one over C&D recently. That was a pleasing effort and the Luke Comer-trained filly heads the shortlist off just 2lb higher. Gurkha Girl has placed here before and needs a betting check with blinkers now tried. Marians Gal and Alex The Great also command respect.

TUDOR MANOR was shaping quite well prior to falling on his latest outing over hurdles and he's on a handy mark back on the level, so he takes preference over in-form pair Lucky Question and Gurkha Girl.

Plenty with chances and the vote going to DON'T LOOK NOW after a narrow C&D defeat last time, where she had Lucky Question behind

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.
