16:50 Dundalk Stakes 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ALABAMA sets a high standard with an official rating of 99. Aidan O'Brien's charge has been mixing in good company and has a pair of runner-up finishes in Listed class to call upon. The progeny of his sire, No Nay Never, have a decent record on all-weather surfaces so the Polytrack shouldn't be an issue. Vanity Pays showed an aptitude for this surface when pipped by a head on debut at Dundalk in April. She has been competitive since then behind some useful sorts so is well in the mix. Emerald Banner was a solid second in her last couple of outings at Navan and Naas and should be a factor. Expensive-purchase Jakku was unplaced on debut at Naas, however, that was in a Group 3 so she is clearly well thought of. She should be much closer here.

It's tough to get away from ALABAMA, who again ran creditably kept to listed level when fourth at York last month and, provided he takes to this all-weather surface, Aidan O'Brien's colt should prove tough to beat. Emerald Banner has been runner-up on her last couple of starts and she may have to settle for silver once again, with Vanity Pays rounding off the shortlist.

Having run with credit in stakes races on his last four starts, this is a major drop in class for ALABAMA and he should win.

Tricky fare for punters. JACKS INN is a newcomer to note as he is related to several multiple winners. Stall 17 isn't easy on debut, however, he did win a barrier trial here this month so should relish another go on this surface. Love Ya clearly has ability and is proven on the Polytrack. She was a close third on her debut in Dundalk and wasn't outclassed in Listed company at the Curragh. She is returning off a break, but has a low draw to work from and could grab the rail. Perfect Judgement has shown speed on all three starts and ought to be heavily involved. Ger Lyons introduces Holy Roman Emperor filly Sumptuary Law who is well worth a market check. Similar sentiments apply to Jessica Harrington's Holy Roman Emperor filly Gangster Granny. Byzantine Empress is another to consider.

NIKKI SWANGO was far from disgraced in a valuable sales event at the Curragh 12 days ago and this looks a good opportunity on these terms back in a maiden. Perfect Judgement is another to consider, while Sumptuary Law looks the pick of the newcomers.

Both PERFECT JUDGEMENT and Nikki Swango have lots of solid form in the book and slight preference is for Ado McGuinness' colt

18:00 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

TALIA could be another winner for Natalia Lupini. She put a big field to the sword over this trip at Cork in June and was third in a much higher grade than this at Naas the following month. Colin Keane is a notable booking for Giuseppe Cassioli who was placed in two handicaps at the Curragh and Killarney over the summer. This son of Bated Breath is a former C&D winner who competes off a very handy mark. There could be more to come from Emorcee on the Polytrack and he gets first-time cheekpieces. Jaafel certainly knows his way around Dundalk while second-reserve Bellick would be a threat if getting a run. Plezantlysurprised is capable here, but has a long absence to overcome.

GIUSEPPE CASSIOLI built on the promise of his previous run when runner-up at Killarney and looks ready to strike having been eased another 2 lb. Plezantlysurprised is a threat off his reduced mark if ready to go, with Jaafel and Talia making up the shortlist.

It's best to ignore DROMANTINE's turf form and she has a good record over C&D; Talia is drawn wide but has a lot of upside

18:30 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

JAZZ DREAMERS bounced back to winning ways in Bellewstown and could follow up. He wasn't winning out of turn and the runner-up franked the form by going in Galway. Robert Whearty's 5lb claim should keep him competitive. The handicapper has definitely given Sunset Nova a chance. He has nine career victories and will enjoy racing off a mark of 50. Peter Fahey has been among the winners recently and his Qaabil arrives on the back of a runner-up berth at Punchestown last week. A first-time visor could eke out a bit more improvement from James Henry who kept on for third when last seen in Bellewstown, while second-reserve Skontonovski won over C&D in August and usually comes home stronger than most.

Though ABOVE IT ALL has been rather going through the motions this year, there have been more encouraging signs of late and he is worth chancing off this career-low mark. Next on the list is Sunset Nova, who may well bounce back with a bold show now returned to this venue. Jazz Dreamers hit the target at Bellewstown last time and is also shortlisted, along with James Henry and Yester.

He's not the most consistent but JAMES HENRY has a fair shout on the pick of his form and the visor might help

19:00 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The consistent INDIANA GREY could get another turn. Pat Martin's mare signalled that a victory may not be far away when beaten half a length into second at Bellewstown last month. She has won four times in Dundalk and jockey Jack Kearney knows her well. Allo Arry made the breakthrough on the beach at Laytown last week and has to rate a danger on his first visit to Dundalk. It is a long time since Pulse Of Shanghai tasted success, but he enjoys this surface. General Idea grabbed his first victory in a Laytown claimer and, although previous visits here have been unconvincing, he returns with his confidence boosted. Third-reserve Fleetfootsoldier would be a major player if managing to get a run.

Though FEATURE THIS has failed to trouble the judge on turf of late, she's clearly more of a force on the all-weather and is appealing having slipped to a mark 3 lb below that off which she scored over C&D on her latest visit here in April. Hale Bopp took a step back in the right direction when fifth at Gowran recently and he is feared most ahead of Ferrybank and Indiana Grey.

Having made a fine return from a lay-off at Bellewstown, INDIANA GREY gets the nod; Feature This will enjoy returning to Poytrack

19:30 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KHADAASH will welcome a return to Dundalk. After a couple of third places here, he delivered over further in March which earned him a crack at a valuable handicap at Lingfield in April where he ran on for fifth. A run at Bellewstown towards the end of last month should have him primed for this assignment. Longclaw has had a productive time since switching back to Ireland and looks well worth another crack at the Polytrack. He finished out the back on his sole previous visit here, but showed an aptitude for all-weather tracks when finishing second at Newcastle, Wolverhampton and Kempton last year. With a win and three places accrued on Irish turf this year, he switches back to the sand in fine fettle. S'all Good Man has won two of his last four at this track and has an experienced apprentice on his back. Liberated Light and Killeemore Lad are also in the running for a cheque.

Provided he takes to this surface LUKE SHORT could well be the answer. The 6-y-o went close twice in big-field handicaps last month and it's probably best to draw a line through his latest effort at Roscommon where the refitted cheekpieces (discarded here) may not have aided his cause. Palace Rock was runner-up over this C&D on his latest start in this sphere (also second over hurdles during that month) and he will be a threat if fully tuned-up. Longclaw is third choice ahead of Cold Steel.

In tremendous form over the summer, LONGCLAW (nap) might be able to win again, having been agonisingly denied at Roscommon last time.

It was just three runs back that UNION FLAG came home second in a much better grade at Fairyhouse. His fifth in a big field at Leopardstown last month wasn't without merit. The handicapper has eased him by 2lb and 5lb-claimer Robert Whearty has been booked, so he's on an attractive mark for his Polytrack debut. Nevada Brave was a C&D winner in January and warmed up for another winter campaign with a close third over C&D last month. He has a solid chance. Top-weight Draco Pulchrac has banked two Dundalk successes, including this race last year, and should be a player in this company. Lucky Question could have plenty to offer on his first start on the Polytrack after a third place in Naas and a fifth in Cork.

DRACO PULCHRAC is handicapped to win and the return to this trip could see her get back to her best, so she's preferred to Nevada Brave who ran with credit over C&D last time. Fairytale Princess is another one to consider.

Stepping back up in trip after finding 1m1f too sharp at Leopardstown last time, UNION FLAG could be able to get off the mark.

20:30 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ROMANN should give Jamie Powell a good spin. This six-year-old gelding has won twice before in Dundalk and a reproduction of his run in a close third on penultimate start in Killarney would have him on the premises. Deluca Chop won over C&D in February and has a shot at doubling his career total. He hasn't been running badly on the turf, but a return to this surface offers a decent chance of another success as this isn't a strong contest. Mads Black Eights is capable of a big run as she enjoys this trip around Dundalk. A recent fourth in Punchestown indicates that she could go well.

MADS BLACK EIGHTS was nearest at the finish when fourth at Punchestown last time and this is a lesser contest, so he gets the nod over Romann, who should benefit from the return to this track. Numidia also merits respect.

It might be worth taking a chance on BLACKSTONE CLIFF, who is a triple C&D winner and has run well enough at times on turf this term.

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.
