(7) Jalo 4/1, Fair gelding. Tongue strap on for 1st time, eighth of 12 in claimer (10/1) at Sligo (10.5f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Something to prove.
Poor on last couple of starts but has gone well around here and drops back in trip.

Emorcee

1.25
1.25/1(+44%)
(4) Emorcee 1.25/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 10 Flat runs. 5/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, effort best excused when seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (7f) 7 days ago, slowly away. Expected to be bang there down in grade.

Un Bacio Ancora

2.5/1(+17%)
(3) Un Bacio Ancora 2.5/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. 50/1, good second of 10 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) 6 days ago, no match for winner. Progressing well recently.

(1) Ballysax Lil' Mick 12/1, Modest gelding. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. Good sixth of 11 in maiden at Down Royal (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 21 days ago. Hard to make a compelling case for based on recent efforts.
Bit more to find on the books, although rider's 7lb claim will aid his cause.

14/1(+58%)
(5) Empress Of Bough 14/1, Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 14 Flat runs. 33/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 43 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Very hard to make a case for.

Very little to show for her efforts and needs to find marked improvement to play a part.
LTO Selection:

16:35 Dundalk Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

UN BACIO ANCORA arrives on the back of a couple of good runs and may prove the answer. She seemed to perform to a good bit above her mark when runner-up at the Curragh last Saturday and although it may be a bit dangerous to take that too literally, at least she comes here in good heart, which can't be said for many of the others. Lope De Rueda has hinted at some ability and has the top mark of 67. He could be a player now in this grade. Emorcee didn't run too badly when mid-division in handicap company here a week ago and his mark of 65 entitles him to play a part.

UN BACIO ANCORA arrives on the back of an excellent second (travelled well) in a maiden at the Curragh 6 days ago and a performance of similar merit should be enough for her to go one better unless Emorcee can bounce back to his best down in grade. Lope de Rueda isn't a forlorn hope.

Two of Noel Meade's three runners were in the frame here last week and his representative JALO could well go a few places better

(5) Rumbled Again 6/1, Winner at Gowran in May. Again ran below form when eleventh of 17 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good, 25/1) 34 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Found life tough at Curragh and ground probably too testing prior to that, stable debut.

(2) Petit Calvados 12/1, 20/1, shaped encouragingly making her first start outside of France when sixth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (6f, good) 4 months ago. Has to be taken seriously.
Four-time winner in France, including one on the Polytrack, stable on song, interesting.

(15) Poet's Pride 33/1, C&D winner. Failed to make an impact when 5½ lengths eighth of 11 to Rocky Dreams in claimer at this course (7f, 40/1) 79 days ago. RESERVE.

Rocky Dreams

7.5
15/2(-25%)
(4) Rocky Dreams 15/2, 4-time C&D winner, latest here in July. Ran poorly 9 weeks on when eighth of 10 in handicap at Laytown (6f, 9/1) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Won this corresponding event 12 months ago and no surprise should he feature.
Never going the pace at Laytown but an effective operator around here (seven wins).
8
8th (8) Lockdown (22/1 +12%)
Lockdown

22
22/1(+12%)
(8) Lockdown 22/1, 20/1, shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when fourth of 7 in minor event at Laytown (7.2f) 17 days ago, held when saddle slipped inside final 1f. Must improve nonetheless.
Not a bad effort at Laytown (eased close home with a slipped saddle), but more needed.

(7) Inishmot Prince 15/2, 5-time course winner. Fared no better back on all-weather when ninth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at this course (7f) 7 days ago. Mark continues to fall.

(14) Ledger 66/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm, 25/1) 31 days ago. Hood back on. Uphill task.
Not coming across with the goods; work to be done and a tricky draw adds to complications.
LTO Selection:

17:10 Dundalk Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Not a strong looking contest and four-time C&D winner TAI SING YEH may be able to bag another victory at the track. He didn't make much impression on the beach at Laytown last time, but had run well to finish runner-up at Leopardstown previously and looks to have slipped to a workable mark. Stablemate Rocky Dreams has a similar profile, having also won four over track and trip, and comes here on the back of a moderate run at Laytown. He could be the danger. Hero Of The Hour is a three-time C&D winner and is another who has to be on the shortlist on his return to action.

An open-looking apprentice event which can go the way of TAI SING YEH, who has the blinkers quickly reinstated after a rare below-par effort recently and partnered by a jockey earning plenty of plaudits at present, James McAuley's veteran can regain the winning thread. Petit Calvados shaped encouragingly making her first start outside of France back in May so she heads up the opposition, ahead of Inishmot Prince and last year's winner Rocky Dreams.

Petit Calvados is interesting, but the lack of a recent run is a worry and MIGHT AND MERCY (Nap) catches the eye from a good draw

86-rated filly with the form in the book to bag one of these, another big run on the cards.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GRAND JOB sets a good standard here. The Justify filly has been placed twice from three starts, with her other run coming when fifth in Group 2 company. She looked to bump into a very smart filly in Rising Sign at Punchestown last time and would be unlucky to meet another one of that quality. Gentileschi has placed form in France and is one to note on her first outing for Josh Halley. There are a few barrier trial winners in the field. The Jessica Harrington-trained Starry Dew looked a nice sort when winning her trial here, while Vina Arana also came home in front in her heat and impressed with the way she quickened late. Aidan O'Brien saddles two newcomers as well, both by Galileo. Osprey is a daughter of dual Group 3 winner So Perfect, while Lily Hart is a sister to black-type performers High Heels and Facade.

This looks a good maiden on paper. GRAND JOB chased home a very promising newcomer from the Ger Lyons' stable at Punchestown and might be the way to go. That yard is represented by a superbly-bred newcomer in Quadruple and she's very interesting. Aidan O'Brien runs a fascinating pair in Osprey and Lily Hart, while Starry Dew is one of the barrier trial winners to keep an eye on.

Grand Job sets the standard but looks vulnerable and a chance is taken on the well-bred newcomer STARRY DEW getting the job done

18:15 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ROCKBURY LAD had been threatening to win a race for a while before his success here last week. The Showcasing gelding travelled well to challenge then and was probably value for a bit more than his winning margin. With that confidence-boosting success, he may be able to defy a 7lb rise. Yester chased him home a week ago and, on revised terms, he is an obvious danger. Darkdeserthighway, a stablemate of the selection, ran better when finishing third at Punchestown last time and has slipped to a competitive mark. He is another for the shortlist.

DARKDESERTHIGHWAY shaped well after 4 months off when third at Punchestown 16 days ago and, with the run likely to have brought her on, she makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. The Mpex Kid took a step back in the right direction at Galway on his most recent outing and has been given a real chance by the assessor having been eased 6 lb on the back of that run, with last-time-out scorers Smaoineamh Sile and Rockbury Lad others to consider.

LTO Selection:

18:45 Dundalk Listed 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PIZ BADILE has a few questions to answer coming here off a break, but could prove a class act. The Ulysses colt was runner-up in the Irish Derby last year before a disappointing effort in France, which ended his season. He ran a nice race when third on his return at the Curragh at the start of May, and travelled well for a long way before failing to go with the front two late on in the Tattersalls Gold Cup later that month. He seems best suited by nice ground and this surface should be OK. Bold Discovery is next best on official ratings, with a mark of 108, and looks the danger. The Jessica Harrington-trained colt produced a solid run to finish sixth in Group 2 company at Leopardstown and is battle-hardened recently. His stablemate Villanova Queen wasn't far behind him when eighth at Leopardstown and is another who has to come into calculations.

The widest stall could complicate things but PIZ BADILE is a potential class act here. British raider Sea The Casper has a good AW record and is second choice ahead of San Andreas, who goes so well at this track. Villanova Queen will also have a say if first-time cheekpieces help her to bounce back to her Royal Ascot form.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ECLAT DE LUMIERE can go one better having been unfortunate to bump into an improving mare when runner-up at Clonmel. With the winner of that race following up at Listowel subsequently, the form has a solid look to it. The Dermot Weld-trained four-year-old had been threatening to strike in recent starts so has to be a leading contender, with a first-time visor another potential positive. Walhaan hasn't been at his best in recent outings, but reverts to the Polytrack off a handy mark. He was in decent form at this track around the same time last year so has to be a threat under Colin Keane. Pierre Lapin boasts a similar profile, as another who looks nicely handicapped if recapturing last winter's best form.

PIERRE LAPIN needs everything to fall right but he arrives having turned in his best effort of the campaign when finishing a close-up fifth over shorter at Roscommon at the start of the month. With cheekpieces refitted, he could be worth chancing returned to all weather. Eclat de Lumiere is sure to have her supporters and she's a threat, with Morph Speed and Expound others to consider in a wide-open affair.

Given plenty to do at Clonmel last time, ECLAT DE LUMIERE came home strongly and might be able to go one better today.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Top-weight CELTIC REVIVAL may be able to overcome that burden under leading apprentice James Ryan. The Eddie Lynam-trained gelding won twice under Ryan at this track last winter and shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up here on his penultimate start. Ridden by Ben Coen on that occasion, he races off 5lb lower now once taking Ryan's claim into account. C&D winner Golden Sandbanks has been in fine form of late, winning over hurdles at Sligo and on the Flat at Galway. Despite his wide draw in stall 14, the Paul Flynn-trained six-year-old is capable of a big run. Union Flag has been gradually getting the hang of things since switching to handicap company, and there was plenty to like about his staying-on third over 10 furlongs here last week.

CIAO ADIOS fared best of those held up when chasing home Pro Bono at Tramore recently and she has a definite chance of reversing the placings with that rival on these revised terms. That said, Pro Bono wasn't disgraced over hurdles next time and should give another good account, while Celtic Revival and Mosaaheb are others to consider.

A three-time C&D winner, CELTIC REVIVAL ran a solid race over 1m6f at Navan last time but this trip suits better and he can win again

LTO Selection:

20:15 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Although now 9lb higher than when winning here last week, FAIRYTALE PRINCESS should be able to defy the handicapper for a second time. The Ger Lyons-trained three-year-old looked to show huge improvement for the switch to the all-weather surface, so having remained in the lowest grade, she can follow up. If anything, stepping up an additional two furlongs could well see the daughter of Camelot in a better light. Numidia was only just denied in the second division of that same handicap last Friday, albeit in a slightly slower time. The Peter Lawlor-trained gelding is a former course winner who is certainly worth another try at this distance. Now 3lb below her mark when winning over C&D last November, Maura's Gift also has to enter calculations.

Plenty are in with a shout. PORTREATH rates just the pick of the weights and is taken to make a winning start on polytrack with this step up in trip also a likely plus. In-form duo Sky Legend and Numidia appeal as the pick of the rest and can chase home Jessica Harrington's 3-y-o in that order. Tastyee completes the shortlist.

Though raised 9lb for her win over 1m2f here a week ago, FAIRYTALE PRINCESS should stay this trip and can go in again.

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.
