LTO Selection:

17:00 Dundalk Claimer 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

COOL DAN showed some promise in maidens and had Rhasidat (won since and reopposes on much worse terms) behind when fourth here to Clonmacash. Presumably Colin Keane rides National Style due to weights allotted to the Ger Lyons-trained pair but any support for the newcomer would be interesting. More Profit and Pomeriggio are others to consider in a tricky claimer for punters to solve.

The form of COOL DAN's AW debut fourth here looks better now than it did at the time so he gets the vote. Pomeriggio and Gregorina head the dangers.

Having proven her stamina for this trip recently when overcoming a slipped saddle, RHASIDAT could improve again to follow up

LTO Selection:

17:30 Dundalk Maiden 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

BACK DOWN UNDER appears versatile in terms of ground conditions having twice filled the runner-up spot on good ground over five furlongs and last time she was just headed close home in the Birdcatcher Nursery over six furlongs on soft at Naas. She holds Clarita on that latest effort and deserves a winning turn. Anvika showed improved form when second over this C&D last time, while Blame Thechampagne showed promise in Stakes races earlier this year and probably found five furlongs too sharp when switched to this surface after a near four-month break. Manhattan Dreamer cost 420,000 dollars as a yearling and is a sister to a Grade 1 juvenile winner in the States while Katie Bairdie is by No Nay Never out of a Group 2 winning dam who has already produced five winners.

The market should prove a good guide in this maiden but BACK DOWN UNDER holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to get off the mark reverted to maiden company. Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Beautiful Dawn could emerge as the chief threat, especially if the market vibes are positive, although Gavin Cromwell's filly Clarita has the form to play a part too.

It might well pay to give another chance to CLARITA after a revival in form over 7f here last time with the addition of cheekpieces

LTO Selection:

18:00 Dundalk Maiden 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CONCLUDING CALL made a pleasing debut when only beaten about a length over an extended ten furlongs here a fortnight ago and, given normal improvement, should go close. The drop in trip is a slight concern but the form looks solid finishing behind the three market leaders and the selection is bred to be effective at a mile. Sarah Purser was well behind in seventh but may be better suited by this trip. Swan Band could prove the chief threat having progressed from her Curragh debut when fourth to the odds-on Persian Jewel over C&D with Finsceal Go Deo nearly seven lengths behind. Local Girl has proved a model of consistency and steps up to a mile after going close here last time while Sailor's Warning made a promising debut but now reappears after a year's absence. Sea Wave is a half-sister to four winners including the smart Irishcorrespondent.

CONCLUDING CALL shaped well on her recent debut when fourth in a maiden here and looks the way to go with improvement very much on the cards from this daughter of Holy Roman Emperor. Local Girl is more exposed but rates the main danger on form ahead of Sailor's Warning and Finsceal Go Deo.

Preference is for the promising SWAN BAND who might have got there a tad too soon here last time and can improve enough to win this

LTO Selection:

18:30 Dundalk Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

INISHMOT PRINCE is equally effective over five and six furlongs and has gained all six career wins at this venue. The Tom McCourt-trained gelding won off a mark of 72 over this trip 12 months ago and, after dropping back down to a competitive mark this autumn, gained his latest win over the minimum trip when beating Eglish by a length. Bold Optimist showed plenty of pace on debut at Fairyhouse and appreciated the drop back in distance when landing a maiden over C&D despite showing inexperience. He can be expected to progress with racing and Oisin McSweeney again claims a valuable 5lb. Half Nutz is edging back down to a competitive mark and, while yet to win on this surface, ran well on his return to the polytrack last time. The consistent Pulse Of Shanghai is another to note.

There should be more to come from recent C&D maiden winner BOLD OPTIMIST who can see off a bunch of much more exposed opponents now moving into handicap company. Course specialist Inishmot Prince arrives in form and is second choice ahead of Distillate, who is better than she showed at the Curragh last time and won here at the start of her career.

In good form over the minimum trip here recently, six-time course winner INISHMOT PRINCE could prove the one to beat back at 6f here

LTO Selection:

19:00 Dundalk Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CRASSUS won over further in the Ulster Cesarewitch at Down Royal and his last race on the Flat saw him finish third in a valuable handicap at Leopardstown. A Piece Of Heaven has an unusual profile in that he has finished fourth in a Grade 1 bumper at Punchestown. He won a staying race on the Flat at Gowran Park in September and a recent fourth over 1m4f at this track shows that he handles the surface. He should enjoy this staying test. New Year Honours was a never nearer fifth over an extended 1m2f here a fortnight ago and this trip could bring about improvement. Celtic Revival and S'all Good Man are capable types up in trip.

A PIECE OF HEAVEN improved again on first try in a handicap when fourth here (12f) 4 weeks ago and he's taken to resume winning ways with the return to further in his favour. S'all Good Man, Celtic Revival and New Year honours make up the shortlist.

Unproven over this trip NEW YEAR HONOURS gets the vote ahead of S'all Good Man and Crassus

LTO Selection:

19:30 Dundalk Handicap 5f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

There could be plenty of pace on in this race and an each-way chance is taken on MY GIRL SIOUX. Andrew Slattery's filly didn't run badly at all in fifth in a big field in Naas at the end of August. She gets blinkers for the first time and Amy Jo Hayes is able to claim 7lb in this race. Samrogue has to defy top weight, but that is not beyond him. He got 6lb for a narrow victory over C&D last month, but Oisin McSweeney comes in for the ride and has has been making a good impression in the Winter Series at Dundalk. Realtin Fantasy represents a shrewd stable and should be a contender after a C&D success in mid-November. No Speed Limit availed of a good ride to score off the front last Friday. Stall 15 makes forcing tactics more difficult, though. Havana Notion chased home Realtin Fantasy on his last outing over this trip while Silver Nemo is one that could outrun his odds.

SAMROGUE just edged out Below Deck over C&D last month and, despite a tricky draw, she's worth a chance to confirm those placings if she breaks on terms. That pair make most appeal but No Speed Limit and Realtin Fantasy are both of interest also in an open race.

Three recent winners all drawn high, the most appealing being REALTIN FANTASY, a quick starter who should be able to overcome the draw

LTO Selection:

20:00 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

HASTEN SLOWLY has been dropping down the weights and signalled that another victory may not be far away when runner-up over C&D last month. Shining Aitch put it all together to deliver over C&D recently and a 4lb rise is far from insurmountable while Comfort Line kept on well for second behind Shining Aitch which brings him into the reckoning. Slieve Bearnagh represents an in-form team and is having just his second run on the Polytrack. Colin Keane has been booked for this triple turf-winner who is well worth a market check. Among the remainder, Curzon Queen is one to consider.

COMFORT LINE gets the nod to build on his good second behind the reopposing Shining Aitch here last time. Colin Keane comes in for the ride on the in-form Slieve Bearnagh and he's second choice ahead of Pinball Wizard, runner-up in a couple of course claimers last month, and Areana.

Despite having no real form on the surface, it may pay to side with SLIEVE BEARNAGH, a winner over this trip at Navan in September

LTO Selection:

20:30 Dundalk Handicap 11f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

This race features a clash between two recent C&D winners in RHYTHM AND TYNE and Doctor Grace with slight preference for the former. Rhythm And Tyne attracted plenty of support before keeping on well to deliver by half a length while Doctor Grace won by a neck on the same card, and both horses have been raised by 5lb. To further complicate matters, both runners-up in those races come back for more. Wesley Joyce got a good tune out of Nawraq while lightly-raced Moondharrig showed his first form when just held by a neck.

RHYTHM AND TYNE is lightly raced for his current yard and justified support in comfortable fashion over C&D recently, so he makes most appeal. Doctor Grace reacted well to blinkers last time and is a major threat, while Moondharrig is also on the radar.

C&D winner last month DOCTOR GRACE (nap) won with more in hand than the margin of victory that day and can follow up

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.
