Tripoli Flyer

0.071429
1/14(+80%)
(6) Tripoli Flyer 1/14, Getaway gelding who improved with each start in bumpers last season, off the mark at second attempt at Lingfield before excellent second in Aintree Grade 2. Beaten only by another decent prospect on hurdling bow/return at Chepstow and hard to oppose here.
Useful in bumpers; clear second at Chepstow on the switch to hurdles; the clear form pick.

Catchim

6/1(-33%)
(1) Catchim 6/1, €72,000 3-y-o, £3,000 6-y-o, Doyen gelding. Made frame all 5 completed starts in points and was good enough to make a winning start under Rules in 14-runner novice hurdle (10/1) at Southwell (20.4f, good) in June. Giving 7 lb to Tripoli Flyer is a tough ask, however.
Absent since Southwell success (rules debut) in June; one of the main form contenders.

12:05 Market Rasen Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Catchim put in a fine round of jumping when scoring on his debut under Rules at Southwell in June and could take a big step forward from that effort. Even so, he might find it tough to give his 7lb penalty away to TRIPOLI FLYER. Fergal O'Brien's five-year-old took the silver medal in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree prior to running with plenty of promise when finishing second on his hurdles bow at Chepstow earlier in the month. With normal improvement, he can prove hard to beat. Point-to-point winner Queens Wish completes the shortlist.

TRIPOLI FLYER was most progressive in bumpers (shaped best when runner-up in Grade 2 at Aintree) and made a highly encouraging hurdling debut after 7 months off when beaten only by another decent prospect who had both a fitness and experience edge at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Fergal O'Brien's charge can land the odds en route to better things. Penalised winner Catchim and expensive point-recruit Queens Wish can battle for minor honours.

Useful TRIPOLI FLYER is the clear form pick. Queens Wish and Catchim look best of the remainder.

12:15 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

JUST LUCKY SIVOLA finished a close second to a progressive type on his hurdles debut over the extended 2m4f at Plumpton 23 days ago and Paul Nicholls' gelding is sure to have learnt plenty from that experience. The consistent Ebony Warrior commands respect despite picking up a penalty for winning a maiden hurdle at Worcester four starts back. Presenting Star boasts a solid jumps pedigree and warrants a betting check on his racecourse debut.

EBONY WARRIOR possesses the best form on offer so is fancied to gain a deserved success after a run of three very good runner-up placings. Both Just Lucky Sivola and Tom Doniphon are in good hands and capable of better so can chase home the selection in that order.

The pick is EBONY WARRIOR, who has posted three good efforts in defeat since his Worcester win in July.

12:25 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A beaten favourite on debut over C&D last month, GLOBAL ECLIPSE was badly hampered by a loose horse in what turned out to be an eventful contest and, with that experience under his belt, he can go one better on this occasion. The Jamie Snowden stable can do little wrong at present and Marche D'aligre should be monitored for market support on his hurdling bow, having been purchased from France. A relatively decent sort on the level for Charlie Hills, Rukaana must also enter calculations on his first run for new connections.

MARCHE D'ALIGRE was picked up for a reasonable sum having shown plenty on the Flat in France and he should be well prepared for this, so he's preferred to Global Eclipse, who has the benefit of hurdling experience. Rukaana is another one to note.

Preference is for French Flat winner MARCHE D'ALIGRE, who makes his hurdle debut with new trainer Jamie Snowden in fine form.

Tailed off in last two runs and needs to get back on track on handicap debut.

12:40 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

CHIEF SUNDAY produced a better effort over 2m at Perth prior to 2m4f possibly stretching his stamina when well beaten at Aintree last time. Nigel Twiston-Davies' four-year-old now makes his handicap debut on only his third start over hurdles and could appreciate the drop back in trip to defy an opening mark of 104. Brave Jen got off the mark at Sedgefield earlier in the month and she has to be considered on her return to the handicap ranks, while Traveling Soldier is another to consider.

BRAVE JEN finally opened her account at Sedgefield earlier in the month and can follow up back in handicap company. Chief Sunday and Traveling Soldier could both do better now handicapping and merit respect.

Recent Sedgefield winner Brave Jen is respected but preference is for the unexposed handicap newcomer CHIEF SUNDAY.

12:50 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

PADDY IN THE CADDY got off the mark over fences at just the second time of asking when emerging as the ready winner of a similar contest at Warwick last week and has to be a serious player turned out quickly under a 7lb penalty. Dunstall Rambler worked wonders to stay on his feet after a bad mistake four out at Ludlow most recently and also enters calculations given that effort can be upgraded. Chasing debutants Smart Casual and Coup De Gold are others to monitor in the betting.

PADDY IN THE CADDY took his form up a level on just his second run over fences when an all-the-way winner at Warwick and can make light of a 7 lb penalty now connections have discovered the key for this son of Doyen. Comfortable Exeter scorer Wellwillya appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of chasing newcomers Coup de Gold and Smart Casual and the handily-weighted Flamelco.

Paddy In The Caddy is respected but FLAMELCO may not allow him an uncontested lead here and might be worth chancing.

13:00 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 4) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CAITHNESS made a highly promising start to his career over fences when narrowly denied at Hexham last month. A 3lb rise for that effort looks manageable and having scored on soft ground before, the eight-year-old gets the vote ahead of Skycutter, who ran well himself on his chasing bow at Warwick when second over 2m4f. Not outside the first three in his last five starts, Dance Thief is another to consider.

The handicapper has taken a big chance with SKYCUTTER's mark and, after a solid start to chasing, he makes most appeal for all that Caithness is open to improvement. Coup de Coeur can also be considered.

Although not bred for fences, SKYCUTTER (nap) looked a safe conveyance on his first attempt when chasing home the favourite at Warwick.

13:15 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Camino Rocio is unbeaten in two starts since joining the Jim and Suzi Best stable and he should remain competitive off 6lb higher than his latest victory at Huntingdon. However, a chance can be taken on GRASS'S JET, who makes his first start over fences after showing a lot more when fifth over hurdles at Newcastle last time. The seven-year-old sports first-time blinkers and might be able to score off a career-low mark. Knocknagappagh completes the shortlist.

CAMINO ROCIO can make it 3 from 3 for this yard with in-form opponents thin on the ground. Sadler's Bay and Goguenard look the types to bounce back so are feared most.

Hat-trick seeker Camino Rocio has to be feared, while STUTI and Grass's Jet are interesting switched to chasing.

13:25 Hereford Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

The winner of a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter on his penultimate start, NOWMELAD currently sets the standard and, on the back of another solid display when third at Stratford last month, is presented with a good opportunity to add to his tally here. Not So Sobers has shown a lot of promise in bumpers and is taken seriously on his debut over hurdles, while point-to-point winners Mossy Fen Road and Wild Nephin are other notable recruits as they debut under Rules.

Harry Derham continues to impress in the training ranks and his winning Irish pointer MOSSY FEN ROAD is selected to make the perfect start under Rules at the chief expense of Nowmelad, who made it third time lucky in this sphere at Uttoxeter last month and has since performed with credit under a penalty. Not So Sobers and Wild Nephin can fight out minor honours.

Nowmelad has a solid record over hurdles but might find it hard to concede his penalty to Market Rasen bumper winner NOT SO SOBERS.

13:35 Wetherby Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A Listed bumper winner at Ascot last December, it is difficult to look past LET IT RAIN, following an encouraging second on her hurdles bow at Chepstow recently. Dropping back in trip looks like a good move for the daughter of Kayf Tara, and she can make it three wins in four starts at the main expense of Rockola Vogue, who has a 7lb penalty to overcome for a comfortable success over 2m4f at Hexham last month. Longhouse Legacy and Magical Annie, who makes her first start for the Fergal O'Brien yard, complete the shortlist.

Bumper winner LET IT RAIN sets the standard on the form of her hurdling debut and she shouldn't have much trouble opening her account in this sphere. Rockola Vogue can compete under a penalty if her jumping improves and Magical Annie is worth monitoring in the betting.

Despite coming up shy on her hurdling debut, LET IT RAIN remains a very smart prospect for her powerful stable.

13:43 Dundalk Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Joseph O'Brien's ONE HORSE TOWN can progress from an opening third over course and distance a fortnight ago. He couldn't go with the winner in the final furlong, but that horse is clearly more than useful and there was merit in his placed effort. Wait For It is interesting up in trip as she hit the line well for fourth on debut at Navan last month, while O'Brien's Fortuna Vera should be all the better for a keeping-on sixth over course and distance earlier in the month. Ken Condon's Frankton is worth a market check as he is by Romanised, who won the Irish 2,000 Guineas for the stable, out of a Frankel mare.

ONE HORSE TOWN fared best of the newcomers when third in a C&D maiden 2 weeks ago and is preferred to stablemate Fortuna Vera, who caught the eye when sixth on her debut here. Form pick No Return is another to consider.

Two once-raced runners may dominate and slight preference is for C&D third ONE HORSE TOWN over Navan fourth Wait For It

13:50 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Course winner HARBOUR LAKE sets the standard on form following a clear-cut success over further on his return at Aintree earlier in the month. A 6lb rise for that victory could prove lenient and Alan King's charge is preferred to the progressive Skyjack Hijack, who has won his last five and should have no issue with going back up in distance, but he is 19lb higher than for his last win. West To The Bridge may be without a win since March 2023, but he ran a fine race when third at Bangor-on-Dee last time out and is dangerous to ignore.

HARBOUR LAKE got back on the up when scoring at Aintree and this course winner edges the vote in this tight-knit handicap. Dan Skelton's handily-weighted West To The Bridge rates a big threat though, while Skyjack Hijack, Supreme Gift and What A Johnny can all have a say too.

Solid-looking HARBOUR LAKE is taken to follow up his Aintree win. Supreme Gift is second choice, ahead of Skyjack Hijack.

14:00 Hereford Handicap Chase (Class 4) 25f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A 6lb higher mark wasn't enough to prevent the progressive HARRYS HOPE from completing a hat-trick at Stratford last time out. Ben Pauling's mare idled and scored with something up her sleeve that day and, although hit with a further 7lb rise, she may still be ahead of the handicapper. Faded Fantasy offered plenty to work with on his second-placed chasing bow over C&D 15 days ago and is feared most, ahead of fellow in-form rival Ultra Beat.

Chasing has clearly been the making of HARRYS HOPE and she looks up to completing the 4-timer over this longer trip. Faded Fantasy and Ultra Beat both made a positive start to their chasing careers when runner-up over C&D and Bangor respectively and they head the dangers.

Harrys Hope has taken very well to fences this autumn but slight preference is for C&D winner SHOT BOII, who has a visor refitted.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

This is wide open and while the race-fit Matchless, a comfortable winner of a seller at Plumpton recently, ought to prove popular under the penalty, it might pay to side with HOURVARI. Progressive before disappointing in a warm class 2 event at Aintree when last seen in October of last year, he returns with his yard in irresistible form and, all being well, he may well resume progress from 5lb lower. Mr Bramley appeals most of the remainder.

FINGAL'S HILL is a most likeable and consistent type who seems sure to be all the better for his reappearance, so he's fancied to notch a sixth career win over hurdles. Hourvari has a 13-month absence to overcome but reappears with his stable in red-hot form, with Herbiers another returner to keep an eye on in the betting.

This could go to FINGAL'S HILL, who is below his last winning mark and may have needed the run at Carlisle.

14:18 Dundalk Handicap 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

NIKKI SWANGO was somewhat unlucky when pipped in second over course and distance last week. She was tardy from the gates and suffered a less than clear route approaching the final two furlongs. She finished well, though, and is on a dangerous mark. Her stablemate, Skontonovski, is one for careful consideration as he arrives in winning form and his rider's 10lb claim has him on an appealing rating. Shoot To Kill got back to winning ways over this trip a couple of weeks ago and is dangerous despite an 8lb hike from the handicapper, while Mehman and Rampage are others in there pitching for prize money.

MEHMAN is on a good mark and shaped like he's ready to capitalise when a staying-on third here recently, so he's fancied from a good draw. Skontonovski and Little Empire should also be involved.

Rated higher at the start of the season, NIKKI SWANGO shaped well here on her second start for this stable and may go one better

14:25 Market Rasen Conditions Chase (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

FANTASTIC LADY ended last season with a career-best Grade 2 win at Sandown in April and although she has a 6lb penalty to carry on her return, Nicky Henderson's mare should appreciate the step back up in trip and drop in class. The nine-year-old won this contest on her only previous try at 3m in 2022 and she may have too much for Marsh Wren, who scored at this level last season and was a creditable third in the Mares' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival when last seen. An inconsistent yet capable sort on her day, La Renommee is capable of being in the shake-up as well.

FANTASTIC LADY produced a career-best effort when winning the Oaksey Chase at Sandown in April and she can land this listed prize for a second time having been successful in the 2022 renewal. Marsh Wren boasts a good record fresh and is feared most following her excellent first season over fences, while Apple Away could take a step forward from her recent run.

Very useful FANTASTIC LADY could well record a second win in this contest. Sine Nomine is second pick.

14:35 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Having returned from a 547-day absence to finish second at Stratford last month, Any Biscuits is entitled to build on that promising return. A 2lb higher rating shouldn't prevent another prominent showing from Harry Derham's charge, but DON RAFAEL is slightly more compelling. The four-year-old finished third behind a subsequent winner over C&D earlier this month and a similar performance off a 1lb lower mark may prove good enough. Wide-margin Perth scorer Limerick Leader also enters calculations on his first outing for Alison Thorpe.

ANY BISCUITS is in excellent hands and boasts an upwardly mobile profile, so he gets the nod over the in-form Don Rafael. Limerick Leader was an impressive winner on his final outing for Olly Murphy and shouldn't be ruled out on debut for a smaller yard.

Low-mileage 7yo ANY BISCUITS (nap) hit form with two wins in spring 2023 and was quickly back in the groove last month, after a layoff.

Getting back on softer ground will be no bad thing but others might be better treated.

14:45 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CHEMICAL WARFARE was able to shrug off an 8lb rise to complete his hat-trick at Newcastle last month and given the progressive nature of David Pipe's gelding, a further 7lb hike might not halt him here. That said, Whosmydaddy is two from three over fences and he must be respected having been given some time off since a disappointing effort at Hexham in May. Camp Belan is unlikely to be far away either.

CHEMICAL WARFARE is proving to be a real money spinner for this yard and a further 7 lb rise doesn't look insurmountable given his straightforward win at Newcastle last month. Asa caught the eye on her chase bow at Kelso and is next best ahead of the low-mileage Whosmydaddy.

Chemical Warfare commands respect but CAMP BELAN is an experienced chaser who should strip fitter for his respectable return.

14:53 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

KNOCKMORE PRINCE left a string of 'duck eggs' behind when keeping on for third over 7f at this track last week. That was the first time that Rory Mulligan had partnered him and his 7lb claim is enlisted again. Pillar Of Hope has changed stables since an encouraging fifth in a higher grade at Punchestown in September. Previous all-weather efforts have been unconvincing, but he is on a very appealing mark with Patrick McGettigan's claim factored in. Mullacash Buzz is just 1lb higher than when last successful over 7f at this track, so has his chance. The Bog Bank hasn't been at her best in her last three outings, but does know how to pick up prize money.

MULLACASH BUZZ has a solid course record and has been threatening to come good from a handy mark, so he takes preference over Rumbled Again, with Rock Etoile also of interest down in grade.

After a good run here last week with no luck in running, perhaps KNOCKMORE PRINCE can land this back up to 1m

15:00 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Having made a winning stable bow when clinging on at Ayr earlier this month, another bold showing is forecast from Pats Dream. However, a 7lb higher mark demands more from the seven-year-old and it may be worth chancing PERCY VEERING on the back of a wind procedure. Kim Bailey's gelding had little difficulty in completing a hat-trick over fences last season before his yard started to struggle and he could resume his progress given the upturn of his stable's form in recent months. Coolmoyne and Duke Of Moravia are others to consider.

PATS DREAM was quick to make his mark for his new yard at Ayr last time out and can make light of a 7 lb rise given he remains handily weighted on past exploits. Kim Bailey's returning Percy Veering is another who figures on a good mark and merits plenty of respect on the back of another wind op, while Coolmoyne and Anytrixwilldo must enter calculations too.

Several have possibilities but it's worth sticking with PATS DREAM (nap), who justified favouritism on his recent stable debut at Ayr.

15:10 Hereford Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Billams Legacy landed her maiden in impressive fashion at Uttoxeter in July and is respected off a 5lb higher mark returning to handicap company, while Saisissante, who was far from disgraced in Listed company in December of last year, warrants a market check. However, preference is for CULLIGRAN, who would not need much more improvement to strike having finished a close-up third under similar conditions from 1lb lower at Worcester in July.

Having finished runner-up on seven consecutive starts, BILLAMS LEGACY gained a deserved first win over hurdles at Uttoxeter in July and now up and running, Fergal O'Brien's 9-y-o can follow up returned to handicap company. The main threat may emerge from Irish Chorus, who shaped quite encouragingly after 6 months off last time and is open to improvement now handicapping, with Saisissante and Culligran rounding off the shortlist.

The vote goes to BILLAMS LEGACY, who was an easy winner at Uttoxeter in July and still looks feasibly treated off her revised mark.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Queenofthejukebox shaped with promise when fourth at Aintree on her debut last month. Noel Williams' filly ought to mount a stern challenge with improvement on the cards, but BLUE BETTY gets the vote. The daughter of Blue Bresil, whose dam is related to a trio of bumper winners, seems certain to know her job for a team who often do well in these types of contest. Others to note include Rene's Walk and Apieceovfortune.

RENE'S WALK and Blue Betty are appealing newcomers and Dan Skelton's charge is taken to make a successful start before market clues. Queenofthejukebox fared much the best of the three of these who contested a class 2 mares' event at Aintree last month and should improve.

This could go to the £90,000 newcomer BLUE BETTY, whose trainer Fergal O'Brien does extremely well in mares' bumpers.

15:25 Dundalk Handicap 8f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

It is no surprise to see MISS ABBY JOOLS out again quickly after she travelled well on stable debut before being beaten a neck into second a week ago. She has an excellent record on the Polytrack at Dundalk having only once finished out of the first three. Morning Approach stayed on for third over C&D recently and is certainly in the hunt for another cheque. Man Is King is closely matched with Miss Abby Jools as he was just a head behind her in third in that aforementioned race.

Lots with chances but MORNING APPROACH returned to form when a good C&D third recently and edges the vote. Shining Aitch heads the list of dangers, while Lorr's Girl, Cousin Shay and Man Is King also need factoring into this open handicap.

A tentative vote goes to WHAT A SQUEEZE, who has dropped well down the handicap but ran encouragingly over 7f here last month

GREAT FLEET lost little in defeat when finding only a subsequent Chepstow bumper winner too strong in an Irish point-to-point for previous connections in May. Now under the tutelage of Dan Skelton, the son of Doyen boasts enough speed in his pedigree to suggest he'll cope with today's extended 2m distance and he's fancied to make a perfect start. Newcomers Pertemps and Top Jimmy are both appealing on paper and market support for either would be interesting, while Blue Bellamy could put his experience to good use.

This could go to one of the Rules debutants, GREAT FLEET making plenty of appeal having finished runner-up in an Irish point ahead of joining his leading trainer. He is preferred to newcomer Top Jimmy, who represents a yard who does well in bumpers, with Blue Bellamy the pick of those with previous experience in this sphere.

Irish point runner-up GREAT FLEET is taken to go one better. Pertemps and Top Jimmy are interesting newcomers.

Olly Murphy often does well in bumpers and with the yard in a rich vein of form, KEFIR D'OUDAIRIES is taken to enhance that record. Picked up for 48,000-euros in June of last year, the son of Seahenge makes plenty of appeal on paper and might not have to be anything out of the ordinary. The booking of Harry Cobden aboard Kashmir De Corton is noteworthy and he warrants a market check, as does Sangpoursangamoi who, akin to the selection, represents a team in flying form.

Newcomers KEFIR D'OUDAIRIES and Sangpoursangamoi make most appeal before market clues, with Olly Murphy's charge narrowly preferred.

Newcomers SANGPOURSANGAMOI and Kefir D'Oudairies both represent trainers with good bumper records and may fight this out.

15:55 Dundalk Handicap 6f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

DAAMBERDIPLOMAT took the scalps of Harry's Bar and Dontspoilasale over course and distance at the start of the month and could repeat the feat. With Ben Coen riding abroad, it looks a shrewd move to put 7lb claimer Rory Mulligan up to more than offset the 6lb rise in the weights Daamberdiplomat has been given. Harry's Bar is well versed in quality sprints and looks poised for a big run. Among his 15 victories, eight have come in Dundalk and he is a terrific horse for rookie-trainer Stephen Thorne to go to war with. Dontspoilaslae dominated off the front on his latest race and should be in the thick of the action. Inishmot Prince is a different prospect back at Dundalk and has to be respected, while last year's winner Dream Today and Apache Outlaw cannot be ruled out.

INISHMOT PRINCE looks on a handy mark back on the AW and can record his 4th C&D success (won this 2 years ago). Dontspoilasale and Daamberdiplomat both arrive on the back of career-best wins so are feared most.

Preference is for INISHMOT PRINCE, who broke his turf duck at Navan and should be effective once more back on his favourite surface

16:25 Dundalk Handicap 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

SAY IT SO has been well campaigned to win over hurdles at Killarney and on the Flat at Navan. The Navan success was particularly notable as he was slowly away and had to pass the whole field which he did in style. The handicapper has had his say as he is 11lb higher, however, he remains in the same 47-65 grade. Pat Flynn's yard are in good form and Duke Otto has been acquitting himself well over hurdles. He looks well worth another go on the Polytrack. Nicola Burns gets another spin on Bright Start after the pair finished well for fourth over 1m4f at this track earlier this month, while Jinxs Link is another with a squeak.

This is wide open. SAY IT SO has taken a hike in the weights following his Navan victory but still looks the way to go here. Jinxs Link could emerge as the main danger on his handicap bow ahead of Jet Times, Bright Start and Tastyee.

The one to beat should be top-weight SAY IT SO(nap), up 10lb for a decisive win at Navan and will be hard to stop in this company

16:55 Dundalk Maiden 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

INTHESMALLHOURS could be worth chancing on her second start. She shaped like a step up in trip wouldn't inconvenience her when keeping on for fifth over an extended 1m2f on debut at this racecourse. Tribal Star sets a more than fair standard with a rating 82. She was just in front of Inthesmallhours in third just under a fortnight ago, but wasn't as strong at the finish and could be vulnerable over this trip. Bowmore is an interesting Flat and Polytrack debutant after victories in a maiden hurdle at Wexford and in a beginners' chase at Tipperary. Dahab and Shaool should not be underestimated either.

BOWMORE has shown a useful level of form over jumps and, despite falling in a Grade 3 chase last time, he's the most appealing on his first go on the Flat. Tribal Star is an obvious danger and Dahab will likely be on the premises.

Improvement from her debut run here can be expected from INTHESMALLHOURS, and she can reverse form with Tribal Star and Dahab

17:25 Dundalk Handicap 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

GLYDE RANGER looks worthy of support in this handicap. He won in this grade, over course and distance, at the end of last month and followed up with a solid second in slightly higher company. The form of that race has been franked. Enough Already hacked up when dropped into the basement grade here last Friday, so he has to be respected running under the mandatory 7lb penalty. Robyn Donaghue-Leahy has partnered Tudor Manor to two victories and the duo ought to be well involved, while this is a marked step up in trip for Pepper Noir, who isn't out of it.

ENOUGH ALREADY still looks ahead of his mark under a 7 lb penalty for Friday's stylish C&D success so gets the verdict in this very competitive handicap. Course scorer Rockview Consort is next on the list, although Glyde Ranger, Tudor Manor and Pepper Noir can all have a say too.

An additional 6lb may not prevent TUDOR MANOR from adding to the C&D win achieved under this rider 12 days ago.

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.
