UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

SPELGA has taken a decent step forward on his recent course appearances, winning his last two starts, and the extra yardage on this occasion could see him improve further despite a 6lb rise for his most recent success. Harvey Specter has been running well over the last couple of months and is expected to be competitive along with Shelter, who is of interest on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Spelga 2nd Harvey Specter 3rd Shelter

TALIYNA improved for the step up in distance on her handicap debut when second here over an extended 1m2f and she is capable of further progression on her first start for John McConnell. Getaway Queen won well on her most recent C&D outing and enters calculations despite a 10lb rise from the handicapper. Solar Wind could benefit from a gelding operation now switching his attentions to handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Taliyna 2nd Getaway Queen 3rd Solar Wind

TENNESSEE WILDCAT travelled well when a beaten favourite here 11 days ago but the drop back in distance on his first outing for Damian English could see the nine-year-old back to winning ways. Sir Ottoman placed on his latest course appearance over a mile and he is likely to go close along with Billyfairplay, whose form at the track last winter would put him right in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Tennessee Wildcat 2nd Sir Ottoman 3rd Billyfairplay

PRINCE OF NAPLES sets a good standard as one of two winners in the field, with his form being head and shoulders above what the opposition has achieved to date. He has to give 5lb and upwards to his rivals but this appears an ideal opportunity for Sheila Lavery's colt to gain his second victory. Balmari placed on his second outing here and the drop back a furlong is likely to aid his cause. Point Reyes, a nursery winner at the course last month, and Is That Love complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Prince Of Naples 2nd Balmari 3rd Point Reyes

Joseph O'Brien holds a strong hand, with his GOLD FACTORY making most appeal having gone close over a mile here last time and she finds herself just 2lb higher now. Stablemate No Days Off can be competitive over this trip and has a solid chance of making the podium, while At War was only half a length behind the selection when third here 18 days ago and has to be respected too.
Prediction : 1st Gold Factory 2nd At War 3rd No Days Off

BELLICK has been in top form over the course and distance of late, following up a neck defeat in October with a battling victory 18 days ago. He makes plenty of appeal again despite a 6lb rise and could confirm superiority over the consistent Sabrina Fairchild, who was third on that occasion. Polly Douglas was a runner-up when last seen and can figure off the same rating, with Henry De Bromhead's Abanica another who has to be considered.
Prediction : 1st Bellick 2nd Sabrina Fairchild 3rd Polly Douglas

TRIBAL PATH has been running with real consistency up at 7f of late and the nine-year-old, who was sent off joint-favourite last time, drops back in trip with leading claims off what should be a workable mark. Stablemate Lapilli has won over course and distance before and is making just his second appearance since returning to Damian English, with a market check also advised for Ahundrednotout and Tynamite.
Prediction : 1st Tribal Path 2nd Tynamite 3rd Lapilli

LA DERNIERE FOIS took advantage of a lenient figure to open her account over 7f and that could open the floodgates for further success as she tries a mile once again. Dubai Rainbow has gone close on both occasions since winning here in September and has to be on the shortlist, while Loaded ran better than the bare result would suggest most recently and his useful efforts before that entitle him to plenty of respect.
Prediction : 1st La Derniere Fois 2nd Dubai Rainbow 3rd Loaded
