13:25 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A return to the Polytrack could see ALABAMA resume winning ways. He has found Pattern company tricky in his last four outings, but has a victory and a runner-up berth from three spins around Dundalk. Thunderbear is rated 104 on turf and gets in here off his much lower all-weather rating. Previous efforts on synthetic surfaces have been unconvincing, however, the suspicion is there is more to come from him. It is interesting to see Final Voyage drop back to a sprint trip. He has very notable form over further and should get plenty of pace to aim at here. Jered Maddox has won his last two races here and shouldn't be a backmarker.

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so HARRY'S HILL is taken to capitalise on a lenient mark and bag a second C&D win. Final Voyage could emerge as the main danger with fellow course scorer Jered Maddox another to consider.

A fine second to the subsequent Rockingham Handicap winner at Navan on his penultimate start, HARRY'S HILL can record a second C&D win

13:57 Dundalk Claimer 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NOTFORALONGTIME has an excellent record over 7f in Dundalk and is taken to go in again. Indeed, he has won his last two C&D claimers and improvement upon his last three unplaced turf efforts looks more than likely. Cordouan has gone well fresh before so his long absence isn't a concern. The market should give a good indication as to his chances. Chestnutter went off favourite for a claiming race at Bellewstown and just lost out by half a length in second. She has the ability to get into contention. Macadam's Rock has to give weight away, but has been competing in higher grades and has a shot.

DYNAMIC FORCE is fancied to take a sizeable step forward on his second run for his current yard and regain winning ways in this very open handicap. Cordouan is weighted to go well so rates the chief danger, with Miqdaad and Chica Power also in the mix.

This C&D shows NOTFORALONGTIME in his best light and he has a good record in similar contests; he can overcome a wide draw

14:32 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TOKENOMICS was noted making up plenty of ground for third over 1m in Leopardstown and ought to come home well from a wide draw. Rebelsontherun has the advantage of having dead-heated over C&D in February. He couldn't land a blow over further on his next start, but a return to form is probable in this company. Handicap debutant Ateenosix, with a hood fitted and a 7lb claimer booked, is one to note. De Janeiro didn't run badly in fifth in a fillies' maiden over C&D last November. She is unexposed and gets a first-time visor.

A competitive 3-y-o event that can go to DE JANEIRO, who could do a lot better now handicapping back up in trip. Tokenomics and Ateenosix are just a couple of the other likely players.

It wan't a bad run against the older horses by \LUXURY ISLAND\p at Down Royal and she might be able to slot into a good position from trap 3

15:07 Dundalk Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Johnny Murtagh's SHAMSUDDIN looks well worth a go on the Polytrack in a bid to shed his maiden tag. He has been runner-up three times and his sire's progeny have a decent record on all-weather surfaces. Willie Browne and Seamie Heffernan are a more than useful partnership in Dundalk and they team up with Polaris Dancer. He was only beaten half a length and a short head into third over this trip in Limerick and is another making his Polytrack debut. Plenty of headgear is reached for on Il Sovrano after a mid-division finish on debut at the Curragh and there are winners in his pedigree. Shamsuddin's stablemate, Rayzhanka, performed with promise in third over C&D last November and the form is working out well.

SHAMSUDDIN did nothing wrong when finding just one too good again at Gowran and can open his account if proving as effective on the polytrack now. Polaris Dancer and Rayzhanka are likely improvers and set to go well.

We'll take a chance with PRINCESS AUREA, who ran on nicely over 7f at Limerick and can improve again; she's a sister to an AW winner

15:42 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

VENETIAN showed more when beaten less than three lengths into second at Tipperary and into fourth at Listowel, so can be a contender off a mark of 59 on his return to Polytrack. The Bog Bank has won twice over C&D and bounced right back to form in good style at Bellewstown last week. She is racing off 11lb higher, but still looks one of the more likely winners of this contest. Feature This is more than capable of having a say if on a going day. Her form is in and out, though. Stop On Red recovered from a slow start to finish fourth behind The Bog Bank in Bellewstown and would have a chance if breaking better.

SIRJACK THOMAS lurks on a career-low mark and could be worth chancing. The Bog Bank and Venetian are a couple of the other likely players.

The Bog Bank has a good record in this race and won last time, but LAUROLINE has form claims and can be excused recent defeats.

16:15 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DAONETHATGOTAWAY could be the answer to a tricky contest. He has been placed on his last two visits to Dundalk and won over this trip on turf at Listowel last month. Hurricane Helen has a fondness for 1m in Dundalk and has showed that she can compete off her mark of 63. She wasn't at her best on her latest outing in April, but has been freshened up since. Lohengrin completes the shortlist.

The return to this C&D is sure to show NIBRAS RAINBOW in a much better light so he's the tentative selection in a wide-open handicap. Lohengrin and Leabaland are possible dangers.

Hurricane Helen needs a second look returned to 1m but LOHENGRIN gets the vote after quite an eyecatching last run at Gowran.

16:50 Dundalk Maiden 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PSALM didn't appear to stay the extended 1m4f trip in the Ulster Derby at Down Royal, but this distance is certainly in his ballpark. He was runner-up over similar trips at Cork in April and May, and Jack Cleary takes a useful 7lb off his back. Ozark Daze caught a tartar when a remote second in the Curragh behind a subsequent Group 3 winner. His placed form entitles him to be on the premises here, though. Raydamann finished third behind Ozark Daze in the Curragh and is a well-bred sort, so there should be more to come from her on her third start. Dermot Weld introduces Dubawi colt Tiding who is worth checking for market strength, while Aeronautic and Timurshah are far from out of contention.

Newcomer TIDING ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Aeronautic and Raydamann have both shown promise and, with improvement on the cards, they may emerge as the main dangers ahead of the more established performers Psalm and Ozark Daze.

Aidan O'Brien's PSALM is now 0-5 but deserves another chance in maiden company after patently failing to stay 1m5f on handicap debut.

(17) Sapristi 50/1, 22/1, last of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, good) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces/tongue strap now reached for and he's a good deal to prove at present. Reserve 3.
Reserve; 1m2f claiming winner last summer; right out of form since back from a break.

1st (7) Miss Paloma (14/1 -56%)
Miss Paloma

14
14/1(-56%)
(7) Miss Paloma 14/1, Course winner. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap at this C&D in December, unable to sustain effort. Remains lightly raced for her age and worth noting if the market spoke in her favour back from 7 months off.
Defied a long absence here in November and following effort excused; able when fresh.
10
2nd (10) Avondale (12/1 -33%)
Avondale

12
12/1(-33%)
(10) Avondale 12/1, Thrice-raced on Flat and offered something to work on sent hurdling after 13 months off when fifth of 22 in novice hurdle at Punchestown (16.8f, good, 80/1) on NH debut 34 days ago. Could have more to offer now handicapping in this sphere.
Some promise in Flat maidens; respectable run over hurdles following an absence.

3rd (8) Picpoul (9/1 -6%)
Picpoul

9/1(-6%)
(8) Picpoul 9/1, C&D winner. Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap (11/2) at this course (10.7f). Off 112 days. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not taken lightly.
Three-time course winner but can never be sure what to expect; only 8th last time.

4th (3) Forbidden Planet (28/1 -100%)
Forbidden Planet

28
28/1(-100%)
(3) Forbidden Planet 28/1, 9-y-o who isn't the force of old but showed benefit of his reappearance run when second of 14 in handicap here (10.7f) in April. However, could only manage tenth of 11 in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good) 18 days ago. Return to AW needs to have positive effect.
Standout run since trained in Ireland remains his second over 1m2f here in April.

5th (5) Pachmena (16/1 -78%)
Pachmena

16/1(-78%)
(5) Pachmena 16/1, Course winner. Two wins from 46 Flat runs. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Ballinrobe (13f, good, 10/1) 18 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces back on.
Runs well now and again, as was the case when fourth here in March; 2-51 overall.

6th (9) Dark Oak (9/2 +10%)
Dark Oak

4.5
9/2(+10%)
(9) Dark Oak 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 5 in maiden (4/1) at Down Royal (12.8f, good) 20 days ago. Has progressed with each start to date and good chance there's more to come now handicapping on all-weather debut.
Not sure what she achieved last time but comes here as an unexposed handicap debutante.
13
7th (13) Northern Sonas (14/1 +13%)
Northern Sonas

14
14/1(+13%)
(13) Northern Sonas 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Down Royal (10.3f, good) 20 days ago, weakening final 1f. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive.
Hasn't offered much in handicaps with and without a tongue-tie; maiden form offers hope.

(2) Leading Lion 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at this course (10.7f). Off 98 days. Tongue strap on 1st time.

Eskimo Komet

7
7/1(-110%)
(1) Eskimo Komet 7/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, good third of 14 in handicap at Limerick (12.5f, good) 20 days ago. Not out of things returned to all weather.
Course maiden winner who returns here after a close third over 1m4f at Limerick.
6
10th (6) Bright N Shine (9/2 -13%)
Bright N Shine

4.5
9/2(-13%)
(6) Bright N Shine 9/2, Made a bright start for this yard last winter, opening his account over 10.7f here in November prior to a good second in a C&D handicap later that month, beaten only by one who got first run. Merits respect from this mark if 7-month absence doesn't catch him out.
In career-best form here in November but subsequent absence casts some doubts.
4
11th (4) True Statesman (8/1 +43%)
True Statesman

8
8/1(+43%)
(4) True Statesman 8/1, Temperamental sort. 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ballinrobe (9.7f, good) 18 days ago, dropping away gradually. Others preferred up in trip. Blinkers left off.
Won twice at two for the Johnstons; winless since and has become hard to predict.
14
12th (14) Wajaaha (40/1 -100%)
Wajaaha

40
40/1(-100%)
(14) Wajaaha 40/1, C&D winner who ended time out of sorts for P. J. McKenna, last of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Roscommon (12.2f, good to soft) 60 days ago. Blinkers replace visor on debut for new yard and he's a player on pick of his AW form during the winter.
Not great of late under either code and hard to know what this 9yo will make of blinkers.
12
13th (12) Apache War (50/1 -52%)
Apache War

50
50/1(-52%)
(12) Apache War 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at this course (1m) in April, leading until early in the straight before weakening. Steps up in trip for handicap debut and the betting may prove a useful guide.
Best of three maiden runs here was the first when beaten under 5l over 1m2f.

14th (11) Brave Thought (16/1 +0%)
Brave Thought

16
16/1(+0%)
(11) Brave Thought 16/1, Fifteenth of 21 in handicap (25/1) at Leopardstown (12f, good) in May, weakening final 1f. Needs to leave that behind returning from 56 days off.
A maiden with placed form over C&D but was entitled to have run better the last twice.

17:25 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DARK OAK is of definite interest on handicap debut. She has been placed in two of her outings in maidens and although outgunned in second at Down Royal, the winner has since come home a close fourth in a Group 3. Colin Keane stays loyal from that Down Royal effort. Eskimo Komet has plenty of weight, but could defy it. He was only collared in the closing stages at Limerick and finished third. Prior to that, he performed creditably over C&D on a couple of occasions this year. Bright N Shine has been off since November, but was in good form on the sand when last seen.

DARK OAK has progressed with each start to date, finishing runner-up on her latest outing in a Down Royal maiden, and, very much the type to go on improving now handicapping, she makes appeal again partnered by Colin Keane. The returning Bright N Shine and Wajaaha are others worth a look. Eskimo Komet is another fancied to be on the premises.

A chance is taken on the unexposed AVONDALE who showed promise in maidens and again on his belated return to action over hurdles.

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.
