16:40 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAMROGUE is an in-form course-and-distance specialist who has beaten many of today's rivals already this winter. Ridden by a 5lb claimer recently, she competes from the same mark as when finishing second 21 days ago, has already beaten Maggie Thunder three times this winter and also holds Livingston Range, Cuban Grey, Bonny Power, Sam's Xpress, My Girl Sioux and Below Deck on recent form. Below Deck is closely matched with the selection on recent efforts and is now 10lb better off for a head defeat in December. However she is a 14-race maiden who disappointed over six furlongs last time. Course specialist Theriverrunsdeep beat 21-race maiden My Girl Sioux into second and Phil's Dream into third here last month but would prefer six furlongs. Winemaker won recently but drops markedly to this distance, for the first time.

Plenty of these have met before and its BELOW DECK who makes most appeal returned to the minimum trip and with blinkers tried for just a second time. Bonny Power took a big step back in the right direction when third over C&D 6 weeks ago so Eddie Lynam's filly could give the selection most to think about, with Hero of The Hour and Samrogue another couple worth considering in an open-looking sprint to kick off proceedings.

An unplaced favourite over 6f here last time BELOW DECK has a solid chance on the balance of winter form at this venue.

17:15 Dundalk Claimer 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

POSH MAISIE's weight burden is eased by a 10lb claimer and she appears slightly better than this grade. Slowly away when running nicely on debut, that race has seen the third, fourth and fifth-placed horses score subsequently while the form of last month's distance runner-up effort was boosted by the runner-up winning afterwards. Bruce Lightning won a six-furlong handicap recently but has form at this distance. He might lack the selection's potential but should get involved. Dandy Lichious showed better form over a mile here last week and can figure under a light weight while similarly weighted and visored Hispanolita made her reappearance following 100 days off when beaten by Bruce Lightning recently and is 5lb better off. Cool Dan is a 10-race maiden but has some form while Masonbrook Meadow has been disappointing.

DANDY LICHIOUS ran his best race to date for his present yard when runner-up over 1m here 7 days ago and, with sound claims on these terms down in grade, he can come out on top. Bruce Lightning, a game winner over 6f 3 weeks ago, rates the lead threat. Cool Dan and Masonbrook Meadow complete the shortlist.

The twice-raced POSH MAISIE (nap) is interesting in a race of this standard having shown notable improvement when third here last month.

17:45 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

FERRYBANK won with a little in hand when able to compete from a career-low rating in January and might cope with a 7lb hike. He is drawn wide in 15 but is ideally suited by this course-and-distance. Pascalia won on her all-weather debut following a 170-day absence last month and has been raised 6lb. She remains somewhat unexposed as a four-year-old and can progress further but the runner-up in that recent race, today's rival Bucky Larson, was beaten eight lengths by the selection in January. In-form six-time winner Gatsby Cap is climbing back up the ratings and beat Suityourselfboss into third here in January. Ten To Ten is a 10-race maiden and finished ahead of five-time winner Hurricane Helen here recently. River Derwent was raised 9lb for his recent claimer success and debuts from a new yard.

SUPER CUB has dropped a long way in the weights and could be worth chancing in an open race on his first start back with his former yard. Last-time-out winner Pascalia and in the in-form Bucky Larson are a couple of potential threats.

This looks very open. PASCALIA appeals as one of the less exposed runners and may supplement her recent 7f win over Bucky Larson

18:15 Dundalk Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AL MUDHAFFAR was well touted when finishing second to a promising type on debut last month. The first three finishers were newcomers with today's rival and 73-rated Hoover Dam finishing a well beaten fourth but added substance to the race. Sir Sagacious himself ran very well when showing greenness on debut in a winners' race last month. He received 6lb from the now 86-rated winner then and while he steps up a furlong, should give the selection a real race. UK import Action Plan debuts for new connections following a break while Currumbin was well held in a promising maiden race in January. Ashikita's grandam was a half-sister to Azamour but has plenty on her plate here. Chinois ran well in a recent maiden and can progress while Spunog also ran well on debut. Latin is best watched on his return.

The fact that AL MUDHAFFAR was sent off at odds on for his C&D debut suggests he's well regarded by his powerful stable and he's preferred to fellow course debut runner-up Sir Sagacious. The selection's stablemate Chinois should also build on last week's opening effort here, while Dermot Weld's Ashikita is a newcomer to monitor in the betting.

A few of these made promising debuts here, notably SIR SAGACIOUS who looked green but did well to finish 2nd; he should appreciate 1m

18:45 Dundalk Stakes 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

WIGMORE STREET has a 445-day layoff to overcome but looked smart in winning a juvenile winners' race on debut at Kempton in December 2022. He seemed well suited by the all-weather when scooting impressively clear of a subsequently Listed-placed rival then and it is encouraging he is retained by his same owner. Top adjusted-rated runner Howyoulikethat is a three-time course-and-distance winner and was placed at Listed level last August. He hasn't run since being well beaten here in September and is vulnerable to a smart type on reappearance. Real Appeal won his only previous all-weather start – here in January 2023, but his best form has been achieved on turf and is best watched returning from a long layoff, ahead of the turf season. Seven-time all-weather winner Freescape ran well over course-and-distance last month but his recent wins have been over longer distances, which might be more suitable nowadays.

A very useful conditions event. FREESCAPE shaped well from a lofty mark in handicap company over C&D last time and can notch yet another course win. Wigmore Street has presumably had the odd issue but was very impressive on his Kempton debut 14 months ago and is a potentially dangerous opponent should the betting vibes be strong on his return for new trainer Joseph O'Brien.

This is a hard race to assess but REAL APPEAL has won twice when fresh and is slightly preferred to the race-fit Freescape

19:15 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Four of SKONTONOVSKI's eight wins have been over course-and-distance and he ran well over a furlong-shorter last month. He has been running well this winter, and while beaten half a length by Little Keilee in December, is 3lb better off. Little Keilee has also been running well, although her best form is over seven furlongs and finished behind Brains in January. Twelve-time winner Brains had returned to form in that race but is hit-and-miss and disappointed twice recently. Super Over ran well behind two in-form rivals last week and should run his usual race while Not Forgotten is tried in first-time cheekpieces. Shoot To Kill is a stablemate of the selection's and debuts for new connections. A face-fit eight-time winner, he is well suited by this distance and the all-weather but his rivals are well versed around Dundalk. Rockbury Lad runs in a first-time hood.

SUPER OVER has been displaying more encouraging signs from his reduced mark in handicaps in recent weeks, and with a switch of headgear potentially putting an extra edge on him, he could just be worth chancing back up at 1m. Shoot To Kill, on debut for his new yard, and Not Forgotten head up the dangers, with Little keilee also respected.

SKONTONOVSKI wasn't beaten far when staying on best over seven furlongs here last time and this race should set up well for him

19:45 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HIGHLAND KING's rating has fallen and he finished third from a career-low mark recently. He is a 17-race maiden but looks to have found his level, with the form of his recent run being boosted by winner Wrecking Ball Paul and the sixth-placed horse both scoring subsequently. Don't Look Now is a six-race maiden who is drawn wide in 16 but is progressive. She finished narrowly behind Snag It here last month but is open to more progression than that five-time winner. She was beaten a head by Moondharrig (which won subsequently) in January but now enjoys a 17lb swing at the weights. Snag It was beaten in a recent claimer but will be much better suited by reverting back up in distance. Twenty-nine-race maiden Anjah finished fourth with Power Drive finishing fifth to the selection recently while Wonder Spirit's only win came over this course-and-distance and he ran well over a mile last month. Picpoul finished ahead of Miss Heartbreak here in December while Hale Bopp has been running well recently.

While MOONDHARRIG clearly has more on his plate following an 8 lb rise for the latest of his two C&D victories since the turn of the year, it's equally clear that he is on an upward curve and the 4-y-o is taken to complete the hat-trick. Long-standing maiden Anjah has performed with plenty of credit the last twice and should be on the premises once again, while top-weight Picpoul, Hale Bopp and Wonder Spirit are others to consider.

This can go the way of WONDER SPIRIT who is a C&D winner and he was only narrowly denied over an insufficient 1m latest

20:15 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PALACE ROCK is just 2lb higher than when finishing second over course-and-distance a fortnight ago. Ideally suited by this distance, he is dependable, defeated below-par War Correspondent six lengths in December and is now 10lb better off. War Correspondent has been hit with - in effect, a 9lb hike (as his rider was 2lb overweight) for winning in fine style over course-and-distance last month although he should again run well. He defeated today's rival Yokkell then (with Satono Chevalier in fourth), with that mare boosting the form by winning subsequently, although she too competes from a career high mark. John Alexander was ninth behind Yokkell in December but ran well when finishing third and behind the selection in January. Impero has been running well but is an 18-race maiden. Firstman defeated the selection by three-quarters-of-a-length here in December 2022 (prior to controversially losing a race) but is 9lb worse off and hasn't run since June.

JOHN ALEXANDER has dropped to an appealing mark and caught the eye from a poor position last time, so he's worth taking a chance on in an open race. Palace Rock has been knocking on the door and is unlikely to be far away, while Satono Chevailer is likely to give his running again.

YOKKELL is clearly thriving since joining her new yard and won in good style last time; a 4lb rise looks fine

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.
