UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

NOTFORALONGTIME has proved a great credit to connections winning seven times at this venue between 7f and a mile with the latest of those victories coming on his penultimate start before another decent effort behind the progressive Nikki Swango last month. Una Matata has taken advantage of a lowly mark since joining Ado McGuinness this winter and scored here over a mile last month. Porsche Lad is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Notforalongtime 2nd Una Matata 3rd Porsche Lad

Siobhan Rutledge made a successful return from a lengthy spell in Australia when successful aboard STONE BEAR over 6f earlier this month and the combination may follow up here. The Ross O'Sullivan-trained filly had Mini Cotai over four lengths behind in third, although that rival could pose more of a threat if able to get away from the stalls on level terms. Wedding Year and stablemate Beau Army are closely matched and also require attention.
Prediction : 1st Stone Bear 2nd Beau Army 3rd Wedding Year

Those with previous experience make limited appeal and perhaps AUREVOIR TRISTESSE can make a winning debut. The Moyglare Stud homebred daughter of Caravaggio is out of a Listed winner and from the family of Salsabil. Divine Believer is another newcomer to consider and the Make Believe filly is related to some stakes performers in the US, while Handshake and Kart Of Gold are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Aurevoir Tristesse 2nd Divine Believer 3rd Handshake

PICTURE THIS was the subject of a gamble on her debut here three weeks ago but never landed a blow after missing the kick. A half-sister to a dual course winner who was fifth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas, the daughter of Saxon Warrior drops in trip and the market support last time would suggest that she's capable of much better. Laoise Eile didn't match market expectations in two runs on turf but she's related to a dual course winner and may fare better here. Guy's Girl is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Picture This 2nd Laoise Eile 3rd Guys Girl

There was only a head between Moyassr and DAONETHATGOTAWAY over C&D earlier this month and the latter is taken to come out on top in the rematch. Apprentice Reese Holohan has quickly made a name for himself this winter and knows the selection well. The Tamayuz gelding got going too late last time and shaped like he might appreciate a longer trip, but all four of his wins have come over a mile. Seamie Heffernan replaces a 7lb claimer on Moyassr, who has a nice draw to work with, while Ferrybank can also get competitive.
Prediction : 1st Daonethatgotaway 2nd Moyassr 3rd Ferrybank

Genoah had TAKE HEART two lengths back in fourth when winning here last month but the latter is now preferred. Formerly a smart handicapper with Johnny Murtagh, the selection was acquired by Stephen Thorne for 29,000gns after a fruitless spell in Britain. Take Heart conceded first run to Genoah on stable debut and now tries 1m4f for the first time. Nakasero proved his stamina when going close here three weeks ago and also comes into calculations.
Prediction : 1st Take Heart 2nd Nakasero 3rd Genoah

NIBRAS RAINBOW, well drawn here and victorious over C&D in November, might be another winner for Gavin Cromwell. The selection ran respectably in a claimer last week and is back down to his last winning mark. Harbanaker won on turf last year and shaped with mild promise on his second run back from a break earlier this month. Haeret In Pectore was ahead of Harbanaker last time but has a difficult draw to overcome. Mythical Rock should also go well.
Prediction : 1st Nibras Rainbow 2nd Harbanaker 3rd Mythical Rock

MAPA came closest to a first win when beaten less than a length over C&D in November and may get her turn here. Sheila Lavery's mare disappointed when favourite last time but she ran well in cheekpieces at the Curragh last year and that headgear is reached for again now. Marians Gal was an emphatic winner over this trip two starts back and was only just behind the selection when fifth last month. Aingeal Dorcha is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mapa 2nd Marians Gal 3rd Aingeal Dorcha
