UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

HERO OF THE HOUR has been running consistently well recently and it is hoped today's rider's 10lb claim might turn things in his favour. A seven-time winner, the selection struck at Down Royal in July and while he finished behind winner Lismacbryan Hill here last month, he is effectively 17lb better off when taking rider's claims into account. Hasiyna goes well on the all-weather and while she finished seventh in that aforementioned contest, she was only beaten a head over C&D next time.
Prediction : 1st Hero Of The Hour 2nd Lismacbryan Hill 3rd Hasiyna

COINCIDENTAL GLORY is a nine-race maiden but there have been more encouraging signs of late and he is fancied to defy top weight. Well suited by this surface, the selection has finished ahead of plenty of today's rivals already and while second to Dont Get Me Wrong in a claimer here last month, he can reverse the form on considerably better terms. Pints In Peace ran well on his recent all-weather debut last month, and Manifest Destiny is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Coincidental Glory 2nd Dont Get Me Wrong 3rd Pints In Peace

INSTANT APPEAL has turned a corner of late and can complete a hat-trick. Runner-up to a subsequent Beresford Stakes winner on debut, the selection then finished third behind City Of Troy and smart performer Galen in another juvenile maiden before scoring at the third attempt. He missed 581 days prior to returning in April this year but has looked a different animal since switching to the all-weather in October. Howyoulikethat and Exquisite Acclaim finished third and fourth respectively behind the selection last time, while bottom weight Dark Ace tackles 7f for the first time since his debut.
Prediction : 1st Instant Appeal 2nd Howyoulikethat 3rd Exquisite Acclaim

PROFIT SURGE made a promising stable debut when second over 1m here and could go one better. That was her first run for almost seven months and she kept the winner honest in going down by half a length. The handicapper nudged her up 3lb, but that has been offset by the booking of Jack Kearney. Jazzy Dancer's three career victories came over shorter trips, but he has plenty of placed form over 7f and wasn't beaten far in his last couple of starts here. Lahore Da King won over C&D last week but a 7lb rise asks questions, while Beat The Devil has a tough draw, although his two recent thirds give him claims.
Prediction : 1st Profit Surge 2nd Jazzy Dancer 3rd Lahore Da King

EVENING BLUES sets the standard with a rating of 86 and Nicola Burns takes 5lb off his back. He came out on the right side of a battle in a maiden over C&D and the form received a good boost when the third home landed a maiden by two lengths on his next outing. Alissam popped up at a big price on debut over 7f at this venue and although a beaten favourite in third on his following start, that was a decent contest. Divelment has shown enough on turf to warrant an interest on his Polytrack debut. Joseph O'Brien runs two newcomers in Electric Night and Porter and they both merit a market check.
Prediction : 1st Evening Blues 2nd Alissam 3rd Divelment

NUIT has been keeping good company courtesy of her mark of 93. She has Polytrack experience and is proven over this trip, so should be right on the premises in this bid for a breakthrough success. Daddy Long Legs is an intriguing contender as a runner-up in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown in February. He came home in third in his only race on the Flat when last seen at Ballinrobe in May and the winner has emphatically franked the form since. Square Necker is an interesting recruit for Robson De Aguiar. His sole race in Britain for Ralph Beckett saw him finish a close third over a shorter trip at Doncaster and the form has worked out very well.
Prediction : 1st Nuit 2nd Daddy Long Legs 3rd Square Necker

OZARK DAZE attracted support on his latest run when finishing a close-up second over C&D. He competes off 6lb lower with Julian Pietropaolo's 7lb claim factored in, so appeals in a deep race. Soaring Sun is a handicap debutant to note after being placed in two maidens over this trip here. Benavente won a claimer over further last week and should be very effective off a mark of 58 with Reese Holohan's 10lb claim factored in. Sierra De Gredos is up in trip after switching to Stephen Thorne's stable, while Stormie Outlook and Queen Aethelflaed are others to consider. First reserve Porsche Lad would be dangerous if getting a run.
Prediction : 1st Ozark Daze 2nd Soaring Sun 3rd Benavente
