LTO Selection:

13:55 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HARRY'S BAR has a shot at defying his big weight. The eight-year-old gelding is better on Polytrack than turf and won this race last year. He has six Dundalk victories in his locker and a return to his favourite surface should see him heavily involved. Cian MacRedmond eases his welter burden by 5lb. Catherine Of Siena enjoys racing in Dundalk and Conor Stone-Walsh takes a handy 7lb off her back. She hasn't been out of the first three in her five visits here. Dun Na Sead is dangerous when allowed to dictate matters and is drawn to attack in stall two. She arrives on the back of a Down Royal success and won over C&D in February. Harmony Rose is more than capable of a bold show while 11-year-old Primo Uomo is still showing dash.

The veteran PRIMO UOMO hasn't made much of an impact in 2 starts on turf since returning from a break but he boasts a good record here and could be the answer off a workable mark. Harmony Rose is likely to give it a good shot on the back of her Tipperary near miss and she shouldb't be far away, while Dontspoilasale and Dun Na Sead both have claims, too, in an open-looking handicap.

The selection is last year's winner HARRY'S BAR, a different proposition on this surface and used to carrying hefty weights to success

Benavente

2
2/1(+40%)

(11) Short N Sweet 150/1, Fourteenth of 20 in handicap at Cork (7f, soft, 100/1) 26 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere.
Poor performer as is demonstrated by his mark; has no apparent chance in this company.
LTO Selection:

14:25 Dundalk Claimer 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BENAVENTE appeals on his course form in March. He was placed on all three occasions in much higher grades, and wasn't beaten far when unplaced on his last couple of turf outings in Leopardstown. Jack Kearney claims 7lb and he is one from two for trainer Richard O'Brien. James McAuley has a good handle on claimers and runs Is That Love having claimed him in Limerick. He won over C&D in December. Jaafel is entitled to plenty of respect on his Dundalk form, particularly as he won a claimer here in February. Texas Sun is far from exposed having had four runs on turf. He represents a strong stable and could be thrown in here on Polytrack debut. Might And Mercy hasn't been at her best in her last three runs, but a return to Dundalk could spark improvement.

MIGHT AND MERCY needs to shrug off a lesser effort on turf 4 weeks ago but the pick of her exploits have come over this C&D and, eased in class, she could be worth chancing to bounce back. Benavente and Is That Love are a couple of others to consider.

Preference is for IS THAT LOVE, now in the care of James McAuley after a fine second for Ado McGuinness in a Limerick claimer last month

No show on his stable debut in a Naas handicap last month and others preferred.
LTO Selection:

14:55 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Very competitive for the grade. It could be that MALACANNE prefers the Polytrack to turf. He was unplaced in his last two outings at Leopardstown and Killarney, however, he was successful on his last couple of visits to Dundalk. In addition, those races were in better classes than this one. The Snapper hasn't raced on this surface before, but got to within half a length of the winner in Listowel which gives him claims. Dromantine is only 3lb higher for a C&D success in December. If fully wound up on seasonal reappearance, he could have a say. Sir John Monash showed plenty when runner-up on Irish debut at Limerick while Toughen Up is another to consider. The Fog Horn was a ready winner at Gowran Park and receives plenty of weight from her rivals. Previous runs on this surface have been uninspiring, but she may perform better now.

Lots with chances. TOUGHEN UP arrives on the back of a good run at Limerick and is taken to go one better eased 1 lb here and with few miles still on the clock. Limerick runner-up The Snapper heads the list of dangers, although Sir John Monash and The Fog Horn also need factoring into a competitive handicap.

Perhaps the most scope for improvement is with SIR JOHN MONASH after an excellent effort on his stable debut at Limerick

More needed on his stable debut but looks capable of improvement although may want further.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Dundalk Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SANDY CREEK looks dangerous switched to Polytrack. This Frankel filly has been placed in three big-field maidens at the Curragh, Naas and Gowran Park and holds an Irish Oaks entry. Pivotal Revive showed an aptitude for Polytrack when beaten by a neck into second on debut in November. The horse that beat him is rated 108 after winning at Royal Ascot. Pivotal Revive was a beaten favourite in second on seasonal bow at Limerick last month, but should come on from that run. Time Tells All has a lovely pedigree being by Sea The Stars out of a Group 3-placed mare. Her debut second was better than two subsequent turf efforts, but she could take to this surface. Local Girl and Rerkha are others that could get into the mix.

SANDY CREEK has let odds-on backers down on her last 2 starts but gets one final chance now switching to AW. Pivotal Revive has shaped well when runner-up on both starts and heads the dangers along with Time Tells All and the reappearing Shanadar.

The one to beat looks to be PIVOTAL REVIVE(nap) with the step back up to 1m and the return to this surface in his favour

15:55 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BOBBY K is an angle against the likely warm favourite Dutch Glory. This former C&D winner is down to his lowest mark yet of 63 which is hard to ignore. On his last visit to Dundalk in January, he travelled well off a mark of 69 before failing to see out the finish in sixth. He was very well backed that day in a slightly higher grade. Jockey Gary Carroll is having a fantastic season and gets the leg up for the first time. Dutch Glory has very solid claims after running on well to win over this trip in Listowel. She has gone up 5lb, but remains in the same 47-65 grade and has won over 7f at this track. Stall one gives jockey Siobhan Rutledge options. This is a marked drop in class for Bucky Larson. He is hard to put forward because of his lack of form this year, but could find this basement grade to his liking. Circles has plenty of form at this track and she should be in there pitching, but her wins have come over 7f.

BOBBY K looks well treated back on AW and, having been better than the result at Leopardstown 20 days ago, he's supported with the added benefit of a fully-fledged rider back on board. Dutch Glory is in top form and appeals as the main danger ahead of Circles.

This looks a good opportunity for DUTCH GLORY to follow up last month's win at Listowel

LTO Selection:

16:25 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NUMIDIA was a real eye-catcher in Leopardstown and is sure to be popular. He suffered a nightmare passage before passing the post in a close fourth, still on the bridle, with nowhere to go. He races off 7lb lower due to Conor Stone-Walsh's claim, so looks to be on a very attractive mark. Furthermore, he won over C&D in February. Sunset Nova's form can be in and out, but he won off 1lb higher in Down Royal on his penultimate start. This is a short trip for Happaugue, but he should still be able to land a blow while his stablemate, Kratos, isn't out of it. Tynamite has the ability to bank a cheque, and both reserves would enter the reckoning if getting a run. First-reserve The Bog Bank won this race last year.

HAPPAUGUE is well suited by this track and shaped as if he'd come on for the run when down the field at Down Royal recently, so he's worth a chance to capitalise on a handy mark. Numidia looks the main threat ahead of Tynamite.

C&D winner NUMIDIA looked very unlucky at Leopardstown last time when getting no run and could register another win back here.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Dundalk Maiden 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SHAMWARI stands out with her mark of 96. Joseph O'Brien's filly ran a stormer in second in the King George V Cup at Leopardstown and the winner endorsed the form by landing the Ulster Derby at Down Royal. That run earned Shamwari a crack at Listed company in Naas where she was unplaced, but far from outclassed. She sets the standard back in maiden company. King Leodegrance ran into a pair of useful sorts when beaten into second at both Tipperary and Leopardstown. He is an obvious threat with Jack Cleary claiming 7lb. Galileo's Compass has shown definite ability in two runs to date, particularly when third in Tipperary. He's a full brother to a Group 2 winner and cheekpieces are fitted for the first time. Letiza disappointed in the Ulster Derby but, prior to that, posted three solid runner-up finishes.

This represents a golden opportunity for SHAMWARI to get off the mark at the fourth attempt. She has contested listed races the last twice and is likely to prove too strong for Galileo's Companion, who stepped up on his debut display when a close third at Tipperary last time he remains open to improvement, while King Leodegrance has to be taken seriously, too.

Though she might be flattered by her rating of 96, SHAMWARI should be still able to take this if bringing her best form.

17:30 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GRACESOLUTION's consistency could be rewarded. She has finished a close second on her last three runs over C&D and was placed when last seen at Down Royal in June. Galactica is of interest on her Polytrack debut. Although unplaced in the Ulster Oaks at Down Royal, she was beaten just over four lengths. If she takes to this surface, she ought to go close in the first-time hood. Rauzan was placed in Dundalk as a juvenile and is on a fair mark to go to work off. Cursory Exam, S'all Good Man, and Boola Boola all have winning form at this venue while Roman Bull has been placed several times here.

Having been given a chance by the handicapper, HALCYON SPIRIT could be worth siding with in what looks a wide-open contest. Gracesolution has been knocking on the door and looks set for another prominent role, while Roman Bull is third choice. Rauzan is also shortlisted.

After a solid run at Fairyhouse last time, RAUZAN could be able to get off the mark down 1lb. He was third in a 1m maiden at this track

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.
