16:35 Dundalk Claimer 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There are a few rated higher, but AUTOCRAT may prove the answer to a tricky contest. The No Nay Never gelding didn't run too badly over further at Thurles recently and all his wins have come on this surface, including two over this trip. Firstman is rated 85 but his recent form is uninspiring, although he does have the ability to be a big player dropping into this grade. His stablemate Nibiru has a mark of 80 and didn't run too badly in a Curragh handicap last time. He is another for the shortlist.

Successful on both previous starts in claiming company, FIRSTMAN is selected to end a lengthy losing run with a return to this venue firmly in his favour. Stablemate Nibiru won here earlier in the year and he can provide most resistance, with Jaafel, Timourid and Acotango just a handful of others to consider, too.

Out of form on turf, FIRSTMAN could play a big role on his C&D run back in March

17:10 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CHURCH MOUNTAIN handled the step up in trip well here last time and there may be another one in him over this extended 10 furlongs. The Pride Of Dubai gelding finished off well to score by a convincing length and a quarter and a 5lb rise for that victory doesn't look harsh. Elsa's Pride is another C&D winner who has to be respected. She battled well when scoring here last month and is only 4lb higher. Special Angel has been holding her form well and is another who has to come into calculations.

Preference is for ELSA'S PRIDE, who made a successful debut on this surface here last month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. Church Mountain and Beauparc should also go well.

Slight preference is for REDEMPTIVE POWER to reverse a recent C&D defeat by Elsa's Pride

17:45 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

PSALM didn't do a lot wrong when going down by a head to the in-form Squire Danagher here last week and may be able to strike again. The Sea The Stars gelding tried to nick it from the front, kicking a couple of lengths clear turning in before getting nabbed in the closing stages. He is only 1lb higher now. San Andreas is something of a standing dish around here and Hugh Horgan gets a good tune out of him. He has been dropped half a stone since his last run at the venue. Walhaan is another who likes it here - he is a dual C&D winner - so also has to be considered.

GESTURE posted his best effort yet when runner-up at Punchestown last month and has a fine record here. He makes fair appeal. Psalm and San Andreas are feared most.

Just denied here last week under a canny front-running ride over 1m4f, PSALM (nap) can go one better back down in trip

18:15 Dundalk Handicap 7f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There looked to be scope for plenty more improvement from KARAZHAL when he won his maiden here last month. The Profitable gelding got going late when getting up close home over 6f and going another furlong looks like it can only help. Zambales was a touch unlucky in running when second on his handicap debut at Navan nine days ago and could be the danger off just a 1lb higher mark. Wizard Of Odds is the first runner on home soil for newly-licensed trainer Stephen Thorne and he is an interesting contender having beaten King Thistle when last seen taking a Down Royal maiden in July.

KARAZHAL improved markedly from his debut to score here last time and the longer trip should be in his favour, so he gets the nod over Zambales, who was beaten narrowly last time. Wizard of Odds also has some potential.

EDERGOLE'S ANGEL has a 20lb pull in the weights with King Thistle on their Curragh meeting and she can take full advantage

18:45 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AKEELA didn't get the run of the race when sent off favourite at Listowel last month, and she might be able to bounce back here with Alan Persse claiming a valuable 7lb. A surprise winner at Naas in July, she ran well in two subsequent starts at Cork. Placed three times in recent months, Seas And Oceans certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. He finished ahead of the selection when last seen at Listowel and is sure to have plenty of supporters in this competitive affair. With promising apprentice Paddy McGettigan aboard, Monzoon warrants respect, while others for the shortlist are Epaulawn, Chica Power and Ateenosix.

It's interesting that Colin Keane retains the ride on CHICA POWER who is well treated on the form she showed here last winter. Akeela can have a line put through her latest Listowel effort and had been in good form prior to that. Seas And Oceans and The Cola Brasil also make the shortlist.

This looks a great opportunity for AKEELA to get her head back in front. The stiff 7f should suit her perfectly

19:15 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A runner-up over the course and distance on her last two starts, MAGS certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn. The highest rated runner in the line-up, the Footstepsinthesand bay looks the one to beat. A good third on her debut for current connections at Bellewstown earlier this month, Feature This is sure to have plenty of supporters. Yet to win over this trip, she does have four course successes to her name. Beaten by just half a length in an 18-runner contest at Navan last week, Jackie Brown is another leading hope, while others to consider are Adam's Boy and Clarinbridge, who both finished third when last seen.

MAGS is a 3-y-o on the up, which cannot be said for most of these, so she looks the way to go. Jalo lurks on a dangerous mark so he's a threat, along with Jackie Brown.

Another tricky handicap but MARY BAGOT could be ready to put her best foot forward on what will be her second start after an absence

19:45 Dundalk Handicap 7f  Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A difficult contest to assess, with both Ger Lyons and Stephen Thorne double-handed. The latter saddles two UK imports, with his SAYIFYOUWILL the selection. The most experienced runner in the line-up, the six-year-old has nine wins to her name and was successful on her most recent outing at Newmarket in August. Midream is the other Thorne representative and she too warrants respect, having finished third in a Listed contest at Haydock in May. The Lyons pair of Vivienda and Sumptuary Law are on an identical mark of 86, with Colin Keane opting to partner the former. Handicap debutant Just For One Day is of definite interest with James Ryan claiming 3lb, while Sweetest can't be dismissed in first time blinkers.

VIVIENDA has been steadily progressive in handicaps this term, winning twice prior to a good third in first-time blinkers (discarded here) at Fairyhouse 25 days ago. She's of interest again and earns the vote ahead of stablemate Sumptuary Law. Curragh maiden winner Just For One Day is another to consider with further progress anticipated now handicapping.

Ger Lyons holds a strong hand with Sumptuary Law and VIVIENDA, the latter preferred on what is only her second AW start

20:15 Dundalk Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Andy Oliver has had three winners at Dundalk in recent weeks, and the Co Tyrone handler might be able to strike again here with KEEPCALMANDSAILON. A fast finishing second when 125/1 at Navan last week, the Bated Breath chestnut might go a place better now. The highest rated of those with a mark, Mint Man is sure to have plenty of supporters. Placed five times from 11 outings, it'll be disappointing if he's not involved towards the business end. A reproduction of her penultimate start would see Supreme Success go close, while it's difficult to forgive Pansy Poe after she was soundly beaten at 2/7 when last seen at Bellewstown.

MINT MAN didn't shape at all badly when finishing midfield in a Curragh handicap 2 weeks ago and, back in a maiden lacking depth, he looks well up to playing a significant role. Keepcalmandsailon remains open to improvement and is feared, along with Pansy Poe.

KEEPCALMANDSAILON was a big eyecatcher when second to a better-fancied stablemate at Navan last week and can go one better

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.
