16:40 Dundalk Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The Michael Halford and Tracey Collins-trained ATEENOSIX holds leading claims at these weights. Third in a maiden at this track last time, the gelding has upwards of 9lb in hand of his rivals in this contest. Ace In The Pack will need to step up on his two most recent starts but the Kevin Prendergast-trained gelding was placed over a sprint trip earlier in the season. In a race that doesn't look as if it will take much winning, he holds every chance. Adam's Boy could be the potential improver in the line-up. A staying-on fifth at Cork last time, the four-year-old retains the blinkers that seemed to bring about some progression. While he has a bit to find with the principals, it would be no surprise to see him reach the frame at the very least.

A repeat of the level ATEENOSIX has shown on all 4 starts here this year will likely be enough to see her get off the mark. Hezahunk is another with some decent course form and is second choice ahead of Ace In The Pack.

The top rated ATEENOSIX (nap) is well treated by the conditions of the race and this looks a good opportunity for him.

17:15 Dundalk Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Recent Fairyhouse runner-up I'M SPARTACUS catches the eye on his first visit to Dundalk. Twice a winner on the all-weather when trained in Britain, the Ado McGuinness-trained three-year-old has run some solid races on turf since joining current connections. It would be no surprise to see further improvement now that he makes his first start on the Polytrack in this country. Collective Power, who is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D in February, holds leading claims under Sorcha Woods. Having gone close in a similar grade at Navan earlier this month, the six-year-old looks to be finding his form. Revenite has to be respected on just his second start in this country. Third at Laytown on his Irish debut, the four-year-old had some decent sprint form in Britain.

I'M SPARTACUS is taken to build on his fine second at Fairyhouse earlier in the week and strike for Ado McGuinness. Collective Power is respected back at a venue which suits. Matthew Smith's Eruption also makes the shortlist.

Just denied in a blanket finish at Navan last week, COLLECTIVE POWER is off the same mark today and can claim his fifth course win.

17:45 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAY YES TO DREAMS can shed her maiden tag at the fourth time of asking. The Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly made a promising racecourse debut when runner-up at Naas in June. Connections clearly felt she warranted a run in a Listed race back at that same venue the following month and while she failed to get competitive, the daughter of Siyouni was far from disgraced. The form of her recent second placing, also at Naas, has been well advertised by both the third and fourth subsequently. Varner boasts a similar profile, shaping with promise in two maidens but finding the company too hot once stepped up to Group races. This represents her best chance to date. Fillies' Mile entrant Head To Head looks the pick of the two unraced Aidan O'Brien-trained representatives.

Aidan O'Brien saddles two potentially interesting debutantes in the shape of HEAD TO HEAD and Dramatic with preference for the former who is partnered by Wayne Lordan. Say Yes To Dreams and Varner rate much the pick of those with experience and can also have a say.

There was a lot to like about how HOLLYS GRACES travelled through her barrier trial and she is a speculative selection on debut.

18:15 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A six-time winner in Britain, including three times on the all-weather, VIVA VOCE can gain a first win in this country. The Tom McGuinness-trained seven-year-old has taken time to find his feet but shaped much better in recent starts. From a mark of 51, the Intense Focus gelding has to be very competitive under Jack Cleary. Third over C&D last Friday, Thompson Gunner should again be a contender. A son of Highland Reel, the three-year-old is a lightly-raced gelding with the scope to improve further on just his third handicap run. Twice successful here earlier in the year, Aisling Oscar could be a horse that finds some improvement now that he reverts to the Polytrack for the first time since March.

CHURCH MOUNTAIN has run well at Cork and Punchestown in recent weeks and might prove the answer to the first division of this 1m handicap. Royal Tribute, a fine second at Bellewstown last month, Viva Voce and Thompson Gunner head the dangers.

Having bumped into the rapidly improving Marble Angel over C&D last week, THOMPSON GUNNER is unlikely to meet a similar rival.

18:45 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking MARBLE ANGEL is difficult to oppose under apprentice championship leader Wayne Hassett. Winner of her last two starts over C&D, the Andy Oliver-trained filly is only 2lb higher than her last success once taking the jockey's claim into account. While the daughter of Harry Angel could have done with a kinder draw, Hassett has plenty of time to get her across from her outside berth. Special Angel, who finished runner-up to the selection on her penultimate start, went one better at Tipperary subsequently. At these revised weights, the Adrian Murray-trained filly has it all to do. Higher Kingdom, a winner off much loftier marks earlier in his career, would be a definite threat if ready after an absence.

COMFORT LINE rates just the pick of these weights so edges the vote in this very open handicap. Rock Etoile heads the list of dangers on the back of his recent Gowran victory, with Hope And Innnocence, Marble Angel and Special Angel all well in the mix too.

Though penalised 7lb for her second C&D win last week, MARBLE ANGEL is still progressive and can bring up the three-timer.

19:15 Dundalk Listed 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although yet to race on the all-weather, BRIGHT STRIPES sets a fair standard in this Listed contest. Group 2 placed as a juvenile last season, the Andy Oliver-trained colt won at this grade at the Curragh earlier in the campaign, while he was far from disgraced in stronger company at Leopardstown on Champions Weekend. Bellezza proved rather disappointing at the Curragh earlier this month but that was almost certainly not her true form. On earlier efforts, the Ger Lyons-trained filly would hold every chance in a race such as this. Leopardstown maiden winner Platoon takes a steep rise in class here but the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt is clearly thought capable of making his presence felt on his second career start.

STAR HARBOUR has been operating at the top of his game in recent months, making it 3 wins from his last 6 starts at Punchestown 10 days ago so, in an open-looking race of it's type, he could be the way to go. Leopardstown debut winner Platoon is open to any amount of improvement and is next best ahead of class-dropping pair Bellezza and Bright Stripes.

A chance is taken on MADAM CELESTE. She was a shade unlucky when behind Bellezza at Naas and she could turn that form around.

19:45 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Michael Halford and Tracey Collins could have the answer here in the shape of RIDHAZ. Sent off favourite when fourth in the Red God Premier Handicap over C&D last month, the form of that race has worked out really well subsequently. Winner of a Leopardstown maiden in May, the Iffraaj gelding is relatively unexposed on this surface. Ozark Daze, a staying on third behind Psalm in a maiden here last week, has every chance of reversing that form on revised terms. The maiden in which he finished runner-up here back in April has thrown up plenty of winners. The aforementioned Psalm took an age to get his head in front but the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt could be one that improves now he has managed to win a race.

This rates less demanding than the race RIDHAZ contested when fourth over C&D 6 weeks ago and he could well be up to building on that effort having eased a little in the weights ahead of this. Psalm may yet have more to offer in handicaps now he's off the mark and is respected, whilst Enough Already is an intriguing contender at the foot of the weights.

Andrew Oliver's OZARK DAZE was 1.5l behind Psalm last time and an 11lb swing may enable him to turn the form around.

20:15 Dundalk Handicap 12f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Making her debut for trainer Conor Maxwell, AREANA can gain a first career success. A strong traveller, who was placed twice for Denis Hogan, the daughter of Pride Of Dubai ran her best race here last season over this trip. On the assumption that she is fit enough on this first start since February, the five-year-old gets the vote. Placed on his last two runs at this track, Epaulawn holds claims for trainer Noel Hynds. The six-year-old moved well through his race last week before finding less than expected. A consistent gelding, he should be able to win in this grade at some point in the coming weeks. Waystar drops back in trip now having stayed on strongly at Navan last time. If she can lie up in the initial stages, the John McConnell-trained filly should be involved.

Lots with chances. LADY KAI rates the pick of these weights nudged up only 1 lb for her excellent Navan fourth so looks the way to go. Stepdance heads the list of dangers on the back of her solid recent fifth here, although a good case can also be made for Figurehead, Epaulawn and Areana.

Preference is for WAYSTAR who might not have stayed 1m6f at Navan last time and her earlier form is very sound.

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.
