16:20 Dundalk Maiden 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Adrian Murray and AMO Racing have made a great start to the season with a number of big-race wins and also landed the opening juvenile maiden of the campaign at the Curragh. Charanda made a bright start when runner-up here last month, but riding arrangements suggest CALIFORNIA DREAMER is the stable selected. The half-brother to four winners cost 130,000gns as a yearling. Cradle Of Love is by Kodiac out of a Sea The Stars mare who has already produced three juvenile winners, while Usdi Atohi is a sister to Asean, who won the Listed Curragh Stakes for Donnacha O'Brien over this trip last year.

A field of mostly newcomers, and CRADLE OF LOVE is preferred to Usdi Atohi aqnd California Dreamer before market clues.

Joseph O'Brien has his team in good order and his CRADLE OF LOVE, a Kodiac half-sister to several speedy 2yos gets a tentative vote

16:50 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Jered Maddox recorded a sixth course win when finishing well over 6f last week, but has yet to score over the minimum trip. SENOR CARROTS was about two lengths behind in fourth, but that was a highly creditable effort following a 10-month absence and Andy Oliver's charge should be suited by this trip having won over C&D off a similar mark last spring. Pro Bono Alexander showed much improved form when dropped to this trip here last time, stretching clear inside the final furlong to beat Phil's Dream by nearly five lengths, but has gone up 15lb as a result. So Majestic won twice over five on turf last summer and has run well in both outings here this year.

SENOR CARROTS shaped well back from a 10-month absence when fourth to Jered Maddox over 6f here last week and, now 5 lb better off with that rival and likely to be sharper now, he is taken to emerge on top. Jered Maddox is respected nonetheless but a bigger threat may be posed by Pro Bono Alexander, who hit the target over C&D last month.

A revelation in first-time blinkers here last month when hammering Phil's Dream, PRO BONO ALEXANDER can overcome a 15lb hike

17:20 Dundalk Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

VIVIENDA showed plenty of promise on both outings over this trip at Naas last year. The daughter of Showcasing was placed on debut in a race that has thrown up a number of winners and, on a line through Sweetest, probably ran to at least the same level subsequently behind Prime Art, who went on to land a Group 3 at Ayr. Heart Of Darkness only weakened well inside the final furlong on debut at Cork and with the benefit of that run under her belt and this much sounder surface, rates an obvious threat. Ojw Legacy and Oh So Bright are others to consider after two decent runs, while Judge Me Not is a half-brother to a couple of winners and any market move would be significant.

HEART OF DARKNESS was well found in the betting and made an encouraging start at Cork a fortnight ago. Likely to improve on this different surface she can open her account for her in-form yard. Oh So Bright is feared most down in class, ahead of Vivienda.

Following a promising debut on heavy ground last month HEART OF DARKNESS can strike here on a sounder surface

17:50 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MAYFAIR is certainly bred in the purple being by Justify out of Group 1 winner Clemmie, which makes her a sister to Unless, who won a Listed race for the Ballydoyle team at the Curragh last year. She made a promising debut at Galway last summer and again encountered testing ground when narrowly denied on her reappearance at the Curragh last month. There are plenty of well-bred newcomers in the line-up including Authenticate, who cost 680,000gns as a yearling, and Super Sox, by Showcasing from a speedy family. Star Magnolia is a half-sister to four winners including Zarinsk, a five-time winner, including a Group 2, for the same connections last year.

This has the look of a good maiden, with the well-bred MAYFAIR taken to open her account at the third attempt following a pleasing return at the Curragh. Authenticate and Star Magnolia are two of several appealing newcomers.

Newcomers Authenticate, Star Magnolia and Super Sox are respected, but the experience gained by MAYFAIR could be decisive

18:20 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BUNGLE INTHEDESERT suffered a nightmare trip last week when he was slowly into stride and short of room as the race hotted up. He is better judged on his penultimate start when victorious by half a length over C&D. Siobhan Rutledge, who did the steering that day, is back on board. Seamie Heffernan has a fair record aboard Leabaland, who was pipped by a nose over C&D on his penultimate appearance, while Sunset Nova is on a mark that could see him run into a place at least.

There is a race in SUITYOURSELFBOSS and today could be the day. Alabama Calling and The Bog Bank are a couple of the dangers.

Several of these have sound claims based on a penultimate run. Slight preference is for LEABALAND, only just denied here in December.

18:50 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHINING AITCH responded well to the first-time visor when obliging over C&D last week and could go in again. James Ryan wasn't able to claim in that apprentice race, but can claim 5lb in this contest, which almost offsets the 6lb rise that Shining Aitch received for winning. Bright Dick got off the mark at the 18th time of asking last week and is likely to be involved at the business end. Bride Tree sprung a 22/1 surprise over 7f at this track in December, but has been off since.

BRIGHT DICK arrived with a strong late run to score with something in hand over C&D 8 days ago and he's still nicely treated based on the pick of his form, so he gets the nod over Lauroline, Shining Aitch, who won the second division of that race. Lauroline is another one to consider down in grade.

There could be more improvement to come from BRIDE TREE, making only her second Dundalk appearance when scoring over 7f in December.

19:20 Dundalk Maiden 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

EVENING BLOSSOM showed plenty of potential in third on debut in a Curragh maiden last October. She had three subsequent maiden winners in behind that day to bolster the form and she holds an Irish Oaks entry. Aidan O'Brien runs two horses in newcomer Opaque and the once-raced Port Fairy, who is partnered by Ryan Moore. Port Fairy is another Irish Oaks entry who is highly likely to come on from a seventh place on heavy ground at Gowran Park in October, while the market should be informative about Ten Sovereigns filly Opaque. Presence didn't run badly in fourth behind an odds-on winner over a shorter trip here.

EVENING BLOSSOM shaped well on debut 6 months ago and promises to be helped by the step up in trip, so she's preferred to Port Fairy, who is likely to leave her own initial effort well behind and is preferred by Ryan Moore. Opague is a notable newcomer on pedigree.

This looks like a good opportunity for EVENING BLOSSOM to deliver on the promise of her debut third on turf last October

19:50 Dundalk Maiden 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Justify colt LONDON CITY could leave previous efforts in the rear-view mirror as he embarks on his three-year-old campaign. He was a short price on both starts last season, when fifth at the Curragh and sixth in Tipperary. On both occasions, there was cut in the ground and he should appreciate going up in trip on this better surface. He holds two Derby entries (Epsom and Curragh). Huxley sets the standard with a mark of 84. He has the advantage of being experienced on the Polytrack having finished runner-up on his last two starts, including on seasonal reappearance last month. London City's stablemate Ephesus makes his debut and this Galileo colt should be checked for market strength.

HUXLEY has showed more than enough in a handful of starts to date to think a race of this nature is well within his grasp and he can put his experience to good use and come out on top. The Aidan O'Brien trained-pair, London City and Ephesus are others expected to be firmly in the mix.

Some of Ballydoyle's short-priced maidens have been turned over of late so LONDON CITY is selected here with a degree of caution

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.
