UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

Aidan O'Brien has already had a couple of juvenile winners this season and FORT MYERS could be another for the master of Ballydoyle. The son of War Front has an outstanding pedigree being out of Marvellous, who won the Irish 1,000 Guineas in 2014 and she is a full-sister to the likes of Gleneagles and Happily. Never Before is a half-brother to Bunker, who was placed in the Chesham as a two-year-old, and he cost connections 130,000gns last year. Soaring Monarch and Almost A Dream are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Fort Myers 2nd Never Before 3rd Soaring Monarch

KASBAH returned to winning ways with an impressive success in this grade over 6f here a week ago and he should be very hard to beat this evening, despite the step up in trip. Weekend Offender is probably flattered by his current Flat mark of 94 but he should not be underestimated in a race of this nature. Nothing To Lose edges out Eastern Racer to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Kasbah 2nd Weekend Offender 3rd Nothing To Lose

DUNKIRK HARBOUR has made the frame in both starts this year and that includes a second-placed finish over 1m2f here last week. Aidan O'Brien's colt may improve for the application of first-time blinkers and he could be hard to beat this evening. Queen Guanhumara should be capable of winning races based on her previous performances, while Casa Romano completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Dunkirk Harbour 2nd Queen Guanhumara 3rd Casa Romano

DUHALLOW NOELIE got off the mark in a similar event over C&D earlier in the month and a 3lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Han Solo was not beaten far at all when filling third place over 7f here last month and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Treasure Vale.
Prediction : 1st Duhallow Noelie 2nd Han Solo 3rd Treasure Vale

Joseph O'Brien representative ESPRIT DE LUMIERE was thwarted by a neck behind Lyrical Attraction over the extended 1m2f here 10 days ago and is well worth a try over this longer trip as he bids to reverse the form now reopposing on 2lb better terms. Lethal Endeavour took a clear forward step when fourth in a 1m2f maiden here last week and is another to consider now making his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Esprit de Lumiere 2nd Lyrical Attraction 3rd Lethal Endeavour

Syrena helps set the form standard on her numerous placed efforts but she's a 12-race maiden and arguably has to be taken on for win purposes. ARABESKA shaped with promise over this trip on debut at Gowran and could appreciate the return to 7f after finding 6f on the sharp side at Naas last time. A Step Too Far is entitled to build on a solid introduction over 5f here in November and is also worth a market check on her return to action.
Prediction : 1st Arabeska 2nd Syrena 3rd A Step Too Far

BELLICK lost little in defeat when beaten by under a length into second behind Tynamite over C&D earlier in the month and is expected to remain competitive off this 2lb higher perch, potentially reversing the form with that reopposing rival being drawn wide in stall 10 on this occasion. Lapilli broke blood vessels on his last run here in February but is interesting now back from a short break and with first-time cheekpieces fitted. The consistent Ken's Sam's is unlikely to be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Bellick 2nd Tynamite 3rd Lapilli
