UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

TY ROCK BRANDY is difficult to get away from in her present mood. The daughter of Dandy Man has stepped up since joining this yard, not finishing outside of the first two home in three starts, and everything points to another bold showing off this mark of 63. The consistent Pillar must enter calculations and wouldn't be winning out of turn, while Straffan also makes some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Ty Rock Brandy 2nd Pillar 3rd Straffan

TENNESSEE WILDCAT will take some stopping in this claimer if running up to a mark of 80. You only have to go back four starts for when this gelding won a similar race comfortably at Gowran and he gets a confident vote. Sam Missile is next best on official ratings bringing a mark of 79 to the table, but a bigger danger to the selection might be Alabaster, who just doesn't know how to run badly.
Prediction : 1st Tennessee Wildcat 2nd Alabaster 3rd Sam Missile

PAK ARMY has won his last two starts in this sphere and could hardly have won any easier on his first outing over C&D last time. The handicapper has had his say, raising him some 11lb for that win, but he really has the bit between his teeth at present with reapplied blinkers helping him in recent months. Latchet also boasts winning track-and-trip form and joins Pepperoni Pete on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Pak Army 2nd Latchet 3rd Pepperoni Pete

ASSURANCE was far from disgraced when finishing last on her debut in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh in September. Down in grade significantly this evening, the daughter of Teofilo should be very hard to beat. Willywampus made the frame at Naas earlier in the month and could go well once again today, while any market support for Dune Of Pilat would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Assurance 2nd Willywampus 3rd Dune Of Pilat

KING OF THE THRONE ran well when filling sixth place in the Group 1 Vertem Futurity Trophy at Newcastle last time out and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the son of Hard Spun to get off the mark. Stinglikeabee and Psyche both hit the crossbar in their most recent starts and they can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st King Of The Throne 2nd Psyche 3rd Stinglikeabee

BANDIUC EILE was only denied by a head in a similar event over C&D at the beginning of the month and the daughter of New Approach is hard to oppose this evening. Royal Highness is another who has been running well in defeat of late and she could pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Storm Approaching and Sweet Affection.
Prediction : 1st Bandiuc Eile 2nd Royal Highness 3rd Storm Approaching

CALLING TIME showed an improved level of form when second behind a solid yardstick here 23 days ago and could strike soon off what appears to be a workable handicap mark. The three-year-old is better suited to this trip and might have too much for Welcoming, who was last seen scoring at Hamilton in the UK under the care of Mark Johnston in September. Master Speaker is a reliable type at this level and should be involved once more.
Prediction : 1st Calling Time 2nd Welcoming 3rd Master Speaker

LOADED, who was beaten just a short head over course and distance earlier this month, landed the spoils over a mile here earlier this week and could quickly follow up under a 6lb penalty. Guiding was a surprise 25/1 winner here last time and should be much more on the radar this time around, while Tyrconnell wasn't far away from making it back-to-back victories when third over this track and trip recently and makes plenty of appeal off the same rating.
Prediction : 1st Loaded 2nd Guiding 3rd Tyrconnell
