UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

Paddy Twomey introduced a smart looking debutant winner at Cork on Saturday so market vibes regarding newcomer VANITY PAYS will be interesting. In general, stable debutants tend to come on from the experience but there was plenty of confidence behind the weekend winner. Vanity Pays is a half-sister to a French horse who was good enough to pick up blacktype on his juvenile debut. Brighter also boasts a decent pedigree being related to a filly that won her first two starts as a two-year-old. If ready for this assignment, then she is unlikely to be far away. Love Ya catches the eye as a full-sister to the Listed filly Loveday. The latter picked up her blacktype at this track so that in itself can be regarded as a positive.
Prediction : 1st Vanity Pays 2nd Brighter 3rd Love Ya

CARA SUSANNA could be a well treated filly now that she steps into handicap company for the first time. The Dermot Weld-trained four-year-old showed fair form in two maiden runs over a mile last term before catching the eye over this trip on her final start. While lack of experience is an obvious concern, she is bred to be much better than this class and could have too much ability. Bring Us Paradise made a pleasing reappearance when fourth here last month. A former course and distance winner, the Zoffany gelding is still quite high in the ratings but shouldn't be too far away. Dalvey has been running well all winter in stronger grades than this one, so is another that looks capable of going very close.
Prediction : 1st Cara Susanna 2nd Bring Us Paradise 3rd Dalvey

RED RIDING HOOD should appreciate the better surface having been a beaten favourite on heavy ground at Naas on her reappearance. A very promising second at Ascot on her debut last term, she was sent off at odds-on to collect on her return but was outgunned by a stablemate. This looks a nice opportunity for the daughter of Justify to get her head in front. A Moment Like This made a pleasing racecourse debut at Leopardstown as a juvenile but failed to back that up at Down Royal after. Something was clearly amiss on that latter occasion as she failed to see the track after. If back to her best, the Galileo filly looks a big threat. Shamwari looks best of the newcomers so any market moves in her favour should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Red Riding Hood 2nd A Moment Like This 3rd Shamwari

ROYAL TRIBUTE and Feature This are very closely matched on a couple of recent outings over this C&D with slight preference given to the James McAuley-trained gelding. The selection won twice here over seven furlongs last year and has gone close on a number of occasions since joining current connections after winning a claimer last December. He didn't enjoy the clearest of passages last time when going down by a neck to Miss Abby Jools. Feature This won here over the mile in January and has held her form well since. Double Martini held a rating in the 70s a few years back, while Boadicea Belle and Deuteronomy are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Royal Tribute 2nd Feature This 3rd Double Martini

CHANGE SINGS appeals on pedigree and any market move for the son of Saxon Warrior would be significant. He cost 540,000 euro as a yearling at the Goffs Orby Sale and is a half-brother to ten winners notably the multiple Group 1 winner Halfway To Heaven. The selection still holds entries in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and Derby. Tanaiyla is the most experienced in the line-up filling the runner-up spot on debut behind Aesop's Fables at Navan and again behind Skip James over C&D last autumn. Broadhurst showed plenty of promise on debut at Navan last May but was then absent until reappearing on testing ground at the Curragh last month. Pearl Of Australia progressed nicely in three starts last term and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Change Sings 2nd Broadhurst 3rd Pearl Of Australia

MIGHT AND MERCY has been progressing nicely and has won two of her last four starts. She scored over a furlong further here last time and is now 6lb higher and drawn widest, but she had placed form over sprint trips as a two-year-old and might be able to follow up. Collective Power is a dual winner over 5f at this venue and has bumped into the in-form Tawaazon on his last two starts. He's been very consistent here all winter and can run another big race. Inishmot Prince is a five-time winner here including twice at this distance. He was just ahead of Collective Power when third over 5f last time and has had a little break since then.
Prediction : 1st Might And Mercy 2nd Collective Power 3rd Inishmot Prince

LITTLE KEILEE had no luck in running here two runs back and was subsequently run out of things late on when third in a 7f contest won by Amemri. She drops back a furlong and headgear is fitted, so she might be able to turn around the form. Amemri was a big price when beating the selection last time but won a shade snugly and has only gone up 3lb. She may well be capable of further progress. Inthepoorhouse makes his all-weather debut and represents a yard which does very well at this venue. He was third in a Galway nursery at the back-end of last season and the winner, second and fourth have all hit the target already this term. First-time blinkers are fitted and he's another dropping back from 7f.
Prediction : 1st Little Keilee 2nd Amemri 3rd Inthepoorhouse
