17:00 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PHIL'S DREAM won over C&D in January and has been placed twice since over an extra furlong. The selection finished a half-length behind Hezahunk when the pair filled the placings behind Jazzy Dancer here last Friday, but the minimum trip tips the balance in favour of the John McConnell-trained gelding. Havana Notion dropped away in the final furlong in that race last Friday but has won over five furlongs and was also successful here earlier this year. My Girl Sioux is still a maiden after 22 starts but has filled the runner-up spot here on her two most recent starts, including when just denied by Winemaker over C&D a fortnight ago.

MY GIRL SIOUX has been knocking on the door here lately and might be up to landing a first success. Hezahunk is another who arrives on the back of a couple of near misses here and is respected for Ado McGuinness. January's course scorer Phil's Dream completes the shortlist.

A chance is taken that SAM'S XPRESS could score back down to a winnable mark after an okay run over 6f here last time

17:30 Dundalk Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This looks a highly competitive handicap and it's difficult to put a line through many of the 12 runners. PRISONER'S DILEMMA gained the latest of his seven career wins off a mark of 103 over 18 months ago but has shown promise on a number of occasions this year, notably dividing Inishmot Prince and Musical Tribute when third to Dream Today over C&D. Inishmot Prince is now a nine-time winner at this venue following a further four successes this winter, while Apache Outlaw and Collective Power are others for the shortlist after winning here last time. The latter didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when beating Musical Tribute by a neck last month.

A fiendishly competitive sprint with a host of recent winners on show including MOUNT RUAPEHU, who scored on all-weather/yard debut over C&D just over 7 weeks ago and looks capable of defying a 6 lb rise in the weights. Second choice is Prisoner's Dilemma, who was caught a touch further back than ideal over 7f here 3 weeks ago, with Apache Outlaw and Secret Magician another couple worth considering.

Mount Ruapehu is feared but a wide draw could mitigate against him so a chance is taken on the reappearing SECRET MAGICIAN

18:00 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HERO OF THE HOUR won three times over six furlongs here early last year but may now be better served by this trip. The selection didn't enjoy a clear run on his latest try over seven when keeping on behind Prince Of Abington in January and certainly found five furlongs too sharp last time. The Cola Brasil was only headed close home in that race won by Prince Of Abington and is closely matched with River Derwent having finished a close third to that rival in a claimer last month. The booking of James Ryan catches the eye. Maestro Stick showed much improved form when causing a 66/1 shock in a claimer over six earlier this month.

This looks ultra-competitive and it may pay to take a chance on HERO OF THE HOUR. He needs to shrug off a lesser effort over the minimum trip latest but there have been definite signs his turn isn't far away previously this winter and the fitting of a first-time visor could well put an extra edge on him. The Cola Brasil and Ferrybank are others to consider, with Maestro Stick, a winner in claiming company over 6f here 3 weeks ago another in the mix with a repeat.

The one to beat could well be FERRYBANK who won for this rider here in January and could well appreciate dropping back to this trip

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

SAKTI showed smart form when filling the runner-up spot on all three starts as a juvenile and should prove difficult to beat. The daughter of Caravaggio was narrowly denied by Brilliant on debut at Leopardstown and was highly tried on both subsequent outings including behind Vespertilio in the Group 2 Debutante Stakes at the Curragh. Paddy Twomey wasted no time getting off the mark for the new turf season at the Curragh on Monday and he introduces Cill Mocheallog, a son of Phoenix Of Spain from a speedy family. Aratayvo is another to consider as he was only beaten a length by hot-pot Bright Stripes over this trip at Naas last autumn.

SAKTI sets a very high standard back in maiden company and ought to prove hard to beat. Aratayvo and newcomer Cill Mocheallog can battle it out for minor honours.

The overall strength of her form from last year makes SAKTI very hard to oppose here on the way to possibly much better things

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

NATURAL RULER had Hoover Dam three lengths back in third when beating all bar the long odds-on Al Mudhaffar in a maiden over C&D a fortnight ago. The Johnny Murtagh-trained colt showed nice progress compared with his two outings at the Curragh last year and appears reasonably treated on handicap debut. Aisling Oscar twice beat Mary Bagot here earlier this year and the latter franked the form by going one better over a mile earlier this month with Galician Girl about three lengths behind in third, and Blue Soul and Special Angel in fifth and sixth respectively. Fivecromwellplace belied odds of 40/1 when prominent throughout to score on his handicap debut last Friday.

NATURAL RULER came clear with a promising sort when second in a C&D maiden last time, so a mark of 69 is likely to underestimate him. As such, he takes marginal preference over last-time-out winners Aisling Oscar and Mary Bagot in what looks a competitive contest for the grade.

NATURAL RULER (nap), who stayed on well into a clear second over C&D a fortnight ago on handicap debut and has likely more to offer

19:30 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Ado McGuinness holds a strong hand here and EXQUISITE ACCLAIM may prove the pick of his trio. The top-weight appears equally effective over seven or a mile and recorded a second win here this winter when beating stablemate Hightimeyouwon last month, with Chavajod and Not Forgotten back in fourth and fifth respectively. The selection has continually progressed over the past six months and there may still be some juice in his current rating. Not Forgotten, Rampage, Shoot To Kill and Rockbury Lad were all only separated by about a length when running behind Super Over over C&D a fortnight ago, while Skontonovski recorded a seventh career win here last November and Colin Keane is an interesting booking.

The vote goes to RAMPAGE, who caught the eye when fourth on his reappearance over this C&D and he wasn't beaten far in a big-field handicap at the Curragh next time. He remains unexposed on the all-weather and is up to winning a race off this sort of mark. It's hard to knock Exquisite Acclaim and he is likely to make another bold bid from the front, with Not Forgotten and Shoot To Kill others to consider in an open-looking contest.

Value could be had in RAMPAGE, unlucky in running when a close fourth over C&D prior to a fair run at the Curragh on Monday

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

TRISHULI RIVER appreciated the step up to a mile when successful here last November and the evidence of her two subsequent starts suggest she could be suited by this longer distance. The Shane Crawley-trained filly was denied a clear run early in the straight before staying on into fourth last time and her pedigree also gives cause for optimism at the trip. Dark Street beat Together Aclaim (won since) over C&D in January and recorded a further course win over 1m4f earlier this month when pegging back Picpoul close home, with Darkened over three lengths back in third. Dylan Browne McMonagle is an eye-catching booking on five-time course winner Power Drive.

Having made the breakthrough over 1m here in December, TRISHULI RIVER has run with credit both starts since and, with this step up in trip worth exploring, she could well be worth siding with to come out on top. Picpoul and Dark Street are another in-form pair fancied to feature, with Darkened another holding each-way claims.

A chance is taken here on TOGETHER ACLAIM, showing progressive form of late and who gets on well with this rider

PALACE ROCK can gain a deserved win after a series of solid efforts here this year. The dual-purpose gelding, who won a maiden over C&D back in 2021, had Celtic Revival, Fascinating Shadow and Banana Three all behind in third, fourth and fifth respectively when headed on the line by Nibiru and again shaped well last time in a higher-class handicap when third to Satono Chevalier. How About No justified strong support when landing a maiden over C&D last month and is not an easy one for the handicapper to assess. Squire Danagher and Unterberg both step up in trip after winning over an extended 1m2f last time.

Joseph O'Brien's unexposed C&D winner HOW ABOUT NO has more to come now he steps into handicap company so edges the vote in this competitive handicap. Celtic Renvival is feared most given his superb record round here, although a good case can also be made for Unterberg, Squire Danagher and Banana Three.

How About Now is the dark horse and likely market leader but preference is for another handicap debutant SQUIRE DANAGHER

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.
