UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

EARLY CALL won a handicap at Navan two starts ago and he was not disgraced off a mark of 67 over C&D last time out. A reproduction of either of those performances would give the four-year-old a big chance in this contest. Nigg Bay is another with valid form claims based upon his most recent efforts in handicap company. The shortlist is completed by Eastern Racer and Master Speaker.
Prediction : 1st Early Call 2nd Nigg Bay 3rd Eastern Racer

THE KING OF KELLS has won twice at the Curragh in recent months and a 7lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Tinkerbells Effect should be capable of making the frame in a race of this nature, while similar comments also apply to Kitten On The Keys and Rolling Wave.
Prediction : 1st The King Of Kells 2nd Tinkerbells Effect 3rd Kitten On The Keys

SO SUAVE displayed plenty of promise when finishing a narrow second on his racecourse debut last month and the son of Make Believe could be hard to beat with that experience under his belt. Gold Brocade could prove to be the main danger based upon the pick of her form, although Cardinal Rule and Joven are others who can be expected to go well.
Prediction : 1st So Suave 2nd Gold Brocade 3rd Cardinal Rule

MUTADAAWEL has been holding his form well in defeat and is taken to build on his latest 1m third here last week now dropping back to 7f. C&D winner Honor Oak has dropped 5lb lower than when winning on turf at Sligo earlier in the year and appears weighed to run a big race from stall four, while Distant Mirage could also take a hand if building on her track-and-trip third in a claimer 12 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Mutadaawel 2nd Honor Oak 3rd Distant Mirage

C&D winner MASALAI lost little in defeat when touched off by under a length behind Fashaar over 7f here last week and is expected to turn the tables and gain compensation, off this 1lb higher perch, now granted this stiffer test. Munfallet was far from disgraced when fifth over track and trip last week and is no forlorn hope for a place following a 1lb drop in the ratings.
Prediction : 1st Masalai 2nd Fashaar 3rd Munfallet

Lady In Lavender got her head back in front on her latest start over C&D but she has a wide draw to contend with off a 3lb higher mark. Lady Boomerang ran a lot better on her latest course appearance when fifth last month, but the vote goes to SCREAM. She won a claimer in good style at the track 12 days ago and, on that performance, could strike again on her return to handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Scream 2nd Lady Boomerang 3rd Lady In Lavender

CLIFFTOP seemed an unlucky loser when third here in September and might have more to offer now upped in distance. There is still plenty of mileage left in his handicap mark of 59, and the three-year-old is expected to capitalise soon. Cape Agulhas returned to form when second on Fibresand at Southwell last month and is noted, while Spelga, fourth here last time, is unexposed on this surface and had no luck down the home straight 26 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Clifftop 2nd Cape Agulhas 3rd Spelga

Early Strike proved disappointing when last seen over hurdles at Galway but previously impressed when second on the level at Navan a few weeks earlier, while Pak Army, a course winner in September, is another to note despite a 9lb rise. Slight preference, though, is for top-weight MUNAAJAAT. Third at this venue over a mile seven days ago, the three-year-old will be helped by Shane Crosse's 3lb claim and could shed her maiden tag at the 12th time of asking.
Prediction : 1st Munaajaat 2nd Early Strike 3rd Pak Army
