UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

A respectable fifth in the Middle Park, KANSAS should find this easier. The son of Wootton Bassett had previously shown that he has the speed for this trip when runner-up in the Flying Childers at Doncaster. Narrowly beaten by Ipanema Queen at the Curragh on his most recent Irish start, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt is weighted to reverse that form. British raider Sirius A warrants plenty of respect for the James Horton stable. A close-up third in a Group 3 at Kempton, the son of Palace Pier is proven on an artificial surface. By The Lake and the aforementioned Ipanema Queen are also worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Kansas 2nd Sirius A 3rd By The Lake

Runner-up on her introduction for previous connections, FLAWLESS FUSION can go one better. Prominent throughout at Leopardstown in June, the Dawn Approach filly kept on well to reach the frame. Sure to be all the better for that experience, she looks to hold strong claims on her first start for Joseph O'Brien. A staying-on fifth at this track, Stella Amorosa should appreciate the additional furlong and the Noel Meade-trained daughter of Starman is well drawn on her return visit. A consistent sort who has been placed on all five career starts, Lucia Molly shouldn't be far away.
Prediction : 1st Flawless Fusion 2nd Stella Amorosa 3rd Lucia Molly

AQUA BEAR has every chance of recording a first career win. A promising seventh on his debut at Gowran Park in August, the Ado McGuinness-trained colt improved to finish a close-up second at Naas later that month. Far from disgraced when mid-division in a stronger race at the Curragh subsequently, the son of Kodi Bear just about sets the standard. World Tour improved on previous efforts when runner-up at Listowel and, although not one of his stable's stars, the son of Territories should be able to win his maiden at some point. Willofthepeople is almost certainly better than he showed at the Curragh and first-time cheekpieces could prove beneficial.
Prediction : 1st Aqua Bear 2nd World Tour 3rd Willofthepeople

Unlucky in running when third over C&D, OICHE RUA can gain some measure of compensation. A dual winner over a mile on turf, the Ado McGuinness-trained filly was unfortunate not to add to that tally on her most recent start. Travelling strongly early in the straight, the daughter of Ghaiyyath had to wait for the gaps to open before flashing home to reach the frame. Granted a clearer passage on this occasion, the three-year-old looks the most likely winner. Wegotogether is open to improvement on just her second appearance in handicap company, while Tribal Moon would be dangerous if getting an easy lead under his capable apprentice.
Prediction : 1st Oiche Rua 2nd Wegotogether 3rd Tribal Moon

This looks a good opportunity for ANDAB to register a second career victory. An impressive debut winner at the Curragh in May, the Joseph O'Brien-trained Saxon Warrior colt has acquitted himself well in much stronger company in subsequent starts. With upwards of 7lb in hand on official ratings, it would be disappointing were he not to take full advantage. York maiden winner Frescobaldi rates the biggest danger. Although only fifth in Listed company at Doncaster last time, the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt is almost certainly capable of better. His lightly-raced stablemate Controlled shouldn't be ruled out on just his third career start.
Prediction : 1st Andab 2nd Frescobaldi 3rd Controlled

A return to the Polytrack can see dual C&D scorer JA'MARR resume winning ways. Despite running well on more than one occasion on grass this summer, the David Marnane-trained colt failed to get his head in front. As a consequence, the son of Zoustar is now rated just 1lb higher than his last winning mark. Cheers Again, another who has shown his best form at this venue, is one to respect. Howyoulikethat and Final Voyage also merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Jamarr 2nd Cheers Again 3rd Howyoulikethat

Having landed a significant gamble when winning here recently, the Matthew Smith-trained SARMIENTO POWER can follow up. Placed twice off higher marks for previous connections, the son of Churchill was raised 9lb for that comfortable success. However, with leading apprentice Nicola Burns in the plate, the four-year-old should remain competitive. Third on her latest two outings at this track, Marians Gal should go well, while Skib Gold would be a strong contender if leaving a poor run at Tipperary behind him.
Prediction : 1st Sarmiento Power 2nd Marians Gal 3rd Skib Gold

A winner of his maiden over course and distance, the Jessica Harrington-trained SATURN looks well treated. With the third of his three subsequent victories on turf having come off a rating of 91 at Navan in April, the five-year-old returns to the Polytrack off 1lb lower here. A five-time winner on the all-weather in Britain, Penzance would have every chance if staying this trip. With no worries in that regard, Heather is a bigger danger back at this track.
Prediction : 1st Saturn 2nd Heather 3rd Penzance
