UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

Big Gossey took a step in the right direction when second over track and trip two weeks ago and has place claims, from a wide draw, along with the consistent Tinkerbells Effect, who drops in trip for Joseph O'Brien. However, it might be worth taking a chance on the latter's stablemate, SAN JUAN, who is having his first start since leaving Shaun Keightley and is expected to improve.
Prediction : 1st San Juan 2nd Big Gossey 3rd Tinkerbells Effect

STRONG JOHNSON has held his form well since striking over this trip in a Navan maiden in October and has been eased 1lb for finishing runner-up on heavy ground in a handicap at Naas 12 days ago (a race in which Arcanears finished third). Oneiroi won going away in a Navan maiden over an extended 5f last month and is the one expected to put up most resistance, while Fridtjof Nansen appeals on his neck second over C&D off 2lb lower in September.
Prediction : 1st Strong Johnson 2nd Oneiroi 3rd Arcanears

GRANDMASTER FLASH followed up his C&D second in October with another respectable handicap effort at Kempton last time. If running to his official rating of 85, Joseph O'Brien's three-year-old could take all of beating. Hannon has run creditably on both Flat starts and has been in solid form over hurdles recently so may emerge as the principal threat. Proxy and Elizabeth Way are likely better than they've shown so far.
Prediction : 1st Grandmaster Flash 2nd Hannon 3rd Proxy

Golden Valour rattled the crossbar over C&D three weeks ago and is expected to remain competitive following a 3lb rise in the ratings, though narrow preference is for CHARCOR, who picked up third here last month despite being carried right late on, and usually runs well in cheekpieces. Former Ger Lyons inmate Major Reward is having his second run for Denis Hogan and is entitled to improve of the fitting of a first-time hood.
Prediction : 1st Charcor 2nd Golden Valour 3rd Major Reward

ROCKVIEW ROMAN got off the mark on his first outing here on the all-weather last month and the manner in which he finished his race off suggests the 6lb rise from the handicapper would pose no issue. Bellepower finished runner-up behind the selection and is entitled to be competitive once again on that display, while a first-time visor might aid the cause of Early Strike.
Prediction : 1st Rockview Roman 2nd Bellepower 3rd Early Strike

CACHE QUEEN has taken a step forward since returning to Dundalk over the past couple of months and she can reward connections for her recent consistency, having been beaten a narrow margin on her last two starts. Magi Gal has been knocking on the door recently and can enter the reckoning along with Ally Cay, whose best performances of late have come at this course.
Prediction : 1st Cache Queen 2nd Magi Gal 3rd Ally Cay

GOLD FACTORY shaped better than her finishing position suggests when sixth here last month and the extra furlong on her nursery debut could see her find a good chunk of improvement. Adamaris stayed on well to finish fifth at Naas in September and is open to progression on his fourth career start, while others to note include Camisra and Enchanted One.
Prediction : 1st Gold Factory 2nd Adamaris 3rd Camisra

SABRINA FAIRCHILD won her maiden over C&D last November and arrives having run with credit in handicaps over the summer months on turf. The return to the all-weather, off a 3lb lower mark than her third at Leopardstown in August, could see her gain her second career success. Bellick went up 4lb for a neck second here last month and he warrants plenty of consideration along with the reliable Pillar.
Prediction : 1st Sabrina Fairchild 2nd Bellick 3rd Pillar
