UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

MISSION CENTRAL fetched 625,000gns at the sales last year and the son of No Nay Never, whose dam is a sister to Falmouth winner and 1000 Guineas runner-up Prosperous Voyage, is expected to make an immediate impact. His future does look likely to lie over further and if finding this test too sharp, his stablemate First Approach could be a real threat. Award Ceremony shouldn't be overlooked, especially if there is market confidence behind her, while Leblon Beach appeals most of those with previous experience.
Prediction : 1st Mission Central 2nd First Approach 3rd Award Ceremony

The vote goes to BEANO POWER, who kept on well for fourth over C&D last month. The daughter of Dandy Man was eased 1lb in the handicap for her troubles and, from a handy draw, should go very close. Pinmoney hasn't pulled up any trees so far, although the switch to handicaps could see him in a better light. Others to note include Rattletheonionbag and My Girl Sioux.
Prediction : 1st Beano Power 2nd Pinmoney 3rd Rattletheonionbag

JORGE ALVARES failed to justify favouritism but finished a respectable third at Bellewstown last weekend and sets the standard with a rating of 82. With the addition of first-time blinkers, he could prove difficult to beat. Ze Do Asfalto was a shade disappointing when attempting to build on some second placings but only managing fourth over a mile here last time, although this drop in trip looks a good move. Temperance completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jorge Alvares 2nd Ze Do Asfalto 3rd Temperance

Hezahunk sprung a 50/1 surprise when making all to score over 6f here last week and attempts to prove that was no fluke off a 4lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to MACADAM'S ROCK, who occupied the runner-up berth over track and trip and his mark has kindly been left alone for that effort. With a repeat performance, he could be the one to beat. Last week's 1m course scorer Bungle Inthedesert is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Macadams Rock 2nd Hezahunk 3rd Bungle Inthedesert

Having shown plenty of ability with his debut third over 7f at the Curragh recently, MONKSTOWN makes the most appeal. The son of No Nay Never should have little difficulty with the extra furlong and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Minaun View, who is sure to find this easier than the Leopardstown Group 3 she struggled in on her return. Drivers Seat is worth some thought too.
Prediction : 1st Monkstown 2nd Minaun View 3rd Drivers Seat

Having weakened into fifth over track and trip last time out, Quickshot enters handicaps off what looks a workable mark. However, BERTO RAMIREZ posted a satisfactory eighth on his reappearance at Leopardstown 12 days ago and the combination of a 2lb lower figure and switch to Polytrack could prove the perfect tonic. Ohmali and Ranting And Raven are others to note on their handicap bows.
Prediction : 1st Berto Ramirez 2nd Quickshot 3rd Ohmali

DOCTOR GRACE gave the strong impression a return to winning ways was imminent when going close over 1m4f at Bellewstown last weekend. Ado McGuinness' inmate struck off a higher mark on turf last year and is marginally preferred to Flier, who scored over C&D a fortnight ago, when Chopsticks (second) and Tyder (third) filled the places. Master Garvey has improved for the fitting of a tongue-tie and could be on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Grace 2nd Flier 3rd Master Garvey
