16:25 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CRYSTAL LUNA has yet to win in nine starts but has some useful form in maidens and ran well over C&D just last week. She was well held in eighth place behind Hasiyna here in early December but had been held up off the pace then and, having jumped smartly from the stalls last week, showed improved form. She seems ideally suited by 5f, Colin Keane again rides, and she can make use of her favourable inside draw. Hasiyna, who is drawn wide in 15, finished over two lengths behind I'm Spartacus here five days ago, although both horse's best form is over 6f.

A host in with chances but the vote goes to SAM'S XPRESS, who bounced back to form to take advantage of a much-reduced mark over C&D recently and remains well handicapped on old form following a 6 lb rise. I'm Spartacus, Crystal Luna and My Girl Sioux are just a handful of possible threats in a tricky opener to solve.

Lots of interlinking form and loads of these have chances. CRYSTAL LUNA probably produced her best run yet in a maiden here last week.

16:55 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

AMBER BLOSSOM showed much improved form to win over C&D last month and can defy a 9lb hike. Out of a well-related winning dam, her initial form was poor but having then missed the break here last month, she finished her race powerfully and can continue to progress. Annie Lavinia finished third in that race and has a slightly more exposed profile so should struggle to turn the form around. Your Call, poorly drawn in 16, has run some inconsistent races but has shown ability and notably ran well on course debut last month, which suggests he will win on this surface soon, although he drops down in distance.

Plenty are in with a shout but ANNIE LAVINIA looks the way to go on the back of her excellent C&D third last time out. The handily-weighted Fairhaven heads the list of dangers with Your Call, Amber Blossom and Lyle The Crocodile all in the mix too.

Plenty to consider and TAM LIN was fourth here last time in the new blinkers and that despite a troubled passage.

17:25 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CATCH THE PADDY was a real bargain buy for 3,500gns last October and might follow up a recent course success, being as yet unexposed on all-weather surfaces. Rated 92 on the turf last June prior to losing form, he bounced back when winning well over a mile here recently. Dropping in distance shouldn't inconvenience as he has prior form at this distance and it is notable that he has won and finished second from just three career all-weather tries. Both Clarita's wins have come over C&D and she won last month, but competes from a career-high rating. Apache Outlaw has won once over this C&D and also won here last month, but is slightly better over 6f.

Adrian McGuinness looks to hold a strong hand with CURRENT OPTION just about the most persuasive option having finished fourth in a blanket finish over 6f on Friday despite his rider dropping his whip close home. Stablemate Apache Outlaw is a big threat, along with veteran Harry's Bar.

Many with chances, slight preference being for recent C&D winner CLARITA, one of only a couple of 3yos in the race

17:55 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MULLACASH BUZZ is a four-time C&D winner who should again compete well from his rating. Rated 69 at his peak, he is holding his form and having again run well over a mile here last month, should be better suited by dropping back to his favoured distance, with his same rider again claiming 7lb. It is interesting that Senado Square, who can sometimes be slowly away, is tried at this distance for the first time having won narrowly here five days ago, so has something to prove. Half Nutz hasn't won since 2022 and while he is a six-time winner whose rating has fallen recently, he has yet to score on the all-weather.

AMEMRI didn't enjoy the rub of the green when fifth here last time out so is fancied to capitalise on a lenient mark. Multiple C&D scorer Mullacash Buzz rates the chief threat, although recent course scorer Senado Square and the well-weighted Half Nutz are others who can have a say.

The filly AMEMRI will need to break better than here last time but she still finished upsides Mullacash Buzz who has live claims.

18:25 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Nicola Burns has been making a good impression at Dundalk and her 7lb claim comes into play on DEVIL'S ANGEL. He should appreciate dropping back into the 47-65 grade where he acquitted himself well in October and November. Rattletheonionbag hasn't been beaten far in her last three handicaps over 6f at this track. On two of those occasions, she stayed on in the final furlong which bodes well for another try at 7f. Pink Oxalis finished fourth on her Polytrack/stable debut over further just under a fortnight ago. First-time cheekpieces are applied and she is a contender. Billy Lee is a notable booking for Reclaim, who is worth a market check.

PINK OXALIS travelled strongly when fourth on debut for this yard and, back in trip from an excellent draw, she's worth chancing to land this open-looking contest. Rattletheonionbag and Velvet Skies are two of several dangers.

Although still a maiden, RATTLETHEONIONBAG continues to knock on the door and she's been running on well over 6f.

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

EMPRESS ARTEMIS certainly didn't go unbacked when making a winning debut in a fillies' maiden over C&D last month. After a tardy start, she travelled notably well and was strong at the finish. Wizard Of Odds shed his maiden tag for his previous trainer at Down Royal in July. Since then, he has had three outings for Stephen Thorne and ran well off the front when runner-up in a median auction race over 7f at this venue. Bishopton is going the right way and just went down by a neck on his first start over C&D for Natalia Lupini, while Joseph O'Brien runs three horses including Waterford Flow, a son of Ghaiyyath who is related to a couple of multiple winners.

EMPRESS ARTEMIS looked a good prospect when making a winning start in a C&D maiden last month and shades the vote over fellow penalised-winner Wizard of Odds. No Nay Never colt Cee En Gee looks the pick of the newcomers.

Empress Artemis and Wizard Of Odds are respected but preference is for BISHOPTON who shaped well on recent C&D yard debut

19:25 Dundalk Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

INTHESMALLHOURS has shown more than enough to suggest she can land a maiden. There was plenty to like about her debut fifth over a shorter trip last month and she progressed to be beaten half a length into second over C&D. Aird has been mixing in some decent handicaps and could go well on her first go on an all-weather surface. The 80-rated Radar Ahead was placed in all five turf starts for Joseph O'Brien. She has switched to Tom McCourt and makes her Polytrack debut, so is an intriguing runner. Santa Princess showed marked improvement when third in a fillies' maiden over C&D and that form was franked when the runner-up landed a maiden at this track.

AIRD has had quite a few chances but, having shaped better than the result in handicap company at the Curragh last time, she's worth chancing to belatedly open her account. Radar Ahead has strong claims based on the pick of her efforts for Joseph O'Brien and Inthesmallhours is capable of better still.

Perhaps RADAR AHEAD can make an immediate repayment for connections following her recent purchase out of Joseph O'Brien's

20:00 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

A very tricky handicap. Trishuli River has been a revelation over this trip and is very much an in-form filly. The handicapper has given her a hike of 11lb rise in her bid for a hat-trick, but she is still respected. JAZZ FOREVER has an each-way chance. The last time he visited Dundalk he won over this trip in April and, with his jockey's claim factored in, he races off 1lb lower than that winning mark. Hurricane Helen just lost out by a neck over C&D last month and looks poised for another big run. Rock Etoile tries a new trip but has been in decent nick over 1m, while Beauparc, Eighty Eight and Dancing Steve will all have their supporters.

The vote goes to BEAUPARC, who was a solid third on her all-weather debut in a C&D handicap in October and a 3 lb rise for that effort is fair enough. Hurricane Helen is a much-respected main danger on the back of her near-miss here, while Rock Etoile is also respected, along with the hat-trick seeking Trishuli River.

Trishuli River renews rivalry here with Eighty Eight but the pair may have to give best to BEAUPARC

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.
