UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

KINCH wasn't winning out of turn here recently following a couple of solid placed efforts at the track, and connections have found their charge another good opportunity. He can go in again off 4lb higher, with the main danger seemingly Reverberation on the basis that he has performed better than recent form figures would suggest, both here and at Newcastle, of late. Sir Danilo and Tyrconnell may also go well.
Prediction : 1st Kinch 2nd Reverberation 3rd Sir Danilo

Aerclub won on his racecourse debut for top NH trainer Henry de Bromhead over C&D last November and is very much respected on his return. Preference is for the race-fit FLOWER GARLAND, though, as she gets 5lb from Aerclub and was most impressive when getting off the mark here last month. There should be more to come from Donnacha O'Brien's filly, while Point Reyes is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Flower Garland 2nd Aerclub 3rd Point Reyes

Denis Hogan has a strong hand here and his C&D winner Tony The Gent is sure to be popular having only been denied by a neck in a similar contest over 6f last time. However, stablemate and fellow track-and-trip scorer YUFTEN is comfortably the highest rated in the field and the veteran will prove hard to beat over his ideal distance. Stamp Of Authority, fourth in the aforementioned contest Tony The Gent took part in recently, completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Yuften 2nd Tony The Gent 3rd Stamp Of Authority

JULIET ROSE thrived when only beaten a head on her first try at this trip last time, and Joseph O'Brien's Camelot filly looks the one to side with. Dutch Admiral performed with real credit to finish fourth in a Listed contest over a mile here last month and has to be taken seriously. Dermot Weld's Haparanda is a half-sister to plenty of winners, including the classy Hazapour, and this distance could be right up her street.
Prediction : 1st Juliet Rose 2nd Dutch Admiral 3rd Haparanda

FOLLOWME FOLLOWYOU is still a maiden after 14 starts but she turned in a solid display when runner-up over C&D two weeks ago and is expected to remain competitive following a 3lb rise. Mithmaar finished a one-paced fourth over 1m here in a maiden and could relish this stiffer test now handicapping. Tio Esteban, although rated 9lb higher than for his 1m4f course victory last month, is no forlorn hope either.
Prediction : 1st Followme Followyou 2nd Mithmaar 3rd Tio Esteban

CAUTIOUS APPROACH struck over C&D before then going down by less than a length in third here. Richard O'Brien's mare returns on the same mark and is expected to mount another bold bid. Muzbid is fully effective under these conditions and can fight it out for the silver medal with Irradiate, who was left with too much to do over 2m last time but lost nothing in defeat in finishing a close-up fourth.
Prediction : 1st Cautious Approach 2nd Muzbid 3rd Irradiate

MAJOR POWER has impressively notched a 7f course treble and with this drop back in trip unlikely to pose any problems, he can defy a further 6lb rise to complete the four-timer. Poet's Pride wasn't too far behind the selection on his penultimate outing and returned with a 7f track win of his own last time. He's up 4lb but should run well, while Fit For Function also warrants respect stepping back up in distance after his fast-finishing third over 5f.
Prediction : 1st Major Power 2nd Poets Pride 3rd Fit For Function

LEQUINTO left his maiden performances well behind when three-parts-of-a-length third on his handicap debut over C&D last month and with further improvement on the cards, he is fancied to go close off this 1lb higher mark. Sebs Star has also been raised just 1lb for a narrow track-and-trip defeat and he should give 10lb apprentice Jamie Powell another good spin. Myrcella, Lady Alcazar and Amelia Jane are others to note in a competitive handicap.
Prediction : 1st Lequinto 2nd Sebs Star 3rd Myrcella
