UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

WILD SHOT bounced back to form when finishing a close fourth over 1m2f here last month and that form gives him a big chance this evening. No Trouble found a mile too sharp last time and he merits a go over this trip based on his win over 1m2f two starts ago, while Monsieur Piquer and Paistiul are others who merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Wild Shot 2nd No Trouble 3rd Paistiul

ART OF AMERICA has won twice over C&D in recent months and a 4lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. Magi Gal is another recent winner over this track and trip who has to be given the utmost respect, while the shortlist is completed by Nimitz, Lusis Naturea and Gougane Barra.
Prediction : 1st Art Of America 2nd Magi Gal 3rd Nimitz

In a moderate contest the marginal preference is for MASALAI, who was only beaten a length over 7f here last month and the six-year-old is only 1lb higher in the ratings. Bated Beauty put in a career best on her final start in the UK and she merits respect on her debut for this yard. Everyhouronthehour edges out Polly Glide and Rag Tatter to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Masalai 2nd Bated Beauty 3rd Everyhouronthehour

Dark Magic kept on well in the closing stages when striking over 7f here last time and could feasibly follow up over this longer trip if his wide draw can be overcome. From stall two, however, MUNAAJAAT looks the one to be on. Joseph O'Brien's charge ran well when fourth from a wide berth here last time and is able to try her luck off an unchanged mark. Silk Cravat hinted a return to 1m would suit when third over 7f here last week and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Munaajaat 2nd Dark Magic 3rd Silk Cravat

ABLE JACK followed up his C&D victory in December with a 7f success a few days later and could feasibly shrug off a 5lb rise for his last win now stepping back up to a mile. Will Be King was putting in his best work in the finish when second over 7f here two weeks ago and is feared most, though Sayesse shaped with promise when runner-up in a C&D claimer earlier in the month and is weighted to finish closer to the selection, who had his measure here on his penultimate start.
Prediction : 1st Able Jack 2nd Will Be King 3rd Sayesse

Joseph O'Brien saddles two potentially smart debutants in Camelot filly Juliet Rose and the Qatar Racing-owned Line Judge, a daughter of Dawn Approach. However, there was a lot to like about the way ABBY HATCHER improved on her debut to make the frame over track and trip last month and she could continue her progression to take this. Experienced pair Mighty Mirage and Laurel Grove are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Abby Hatcher 2nd Line Judge 3rd Juliet Rose

Power Ahead got off the mark over track and trip last time and could have more to come. However, this is likely to go the way of DARK VADER, who ran in some top races as a two-year-old and won't mind the return to 6f following some very good recent efforts here. Stablemate Pip's Eagle is also respected on debut having cost 150,000 euros as a yearling.
Prediction : 1st Dark Vader 2nd Power Ahead 3rd Pips Eagle

TOMMY TAYLOR rattled the crossbar here over 7f on his stable debut for Johnny Levins last month and the six-year-old, who was a Listed winner in his time with Kevin Ryan, won't mind the drop back in trip here. Stablemate Nigg Bay is a track and trip winner and wasn't beaten far when finishing third over 5f last time. Red Cymbal was second when looking for back-to-back victories last week, with course regular Arcanears, who has finished runner-up here the last twice, also respected.
Prediction : 1st Tommy Taylor 2nd Arcanears 3rd Red Cymbal
