UK Horse Racing Tips: Dundalk

SONORAN was produced from off the pace to score over this trip at Navan on his penultimate start and can gain a third career win. The Ger Lyons-trained gelding is weighted to reverse recent C&D form with Glyndwr. Denis Hogan has a good record in claimers and Venetian may prove the pick of his two runners. The son of Awtaad has gained all bar one of his five wins on the all-weather and held a rating in the low 80s earlier this year. Blooming Rose tries this surface for the first time and has scope for improvement.
Prediction : 1st Sonoran 2nd Venetian 3rd Glyndwr

MOYASSR has won four times over C&D and has filled the runner-up spot three times since joining Ado McGuinness in August. He finished well over 7f at Fairyhouse and was probably unsuited by the testing ground at Bellewstown last time. Coasting is an obvious threat. The David Marnane-trained gelding attracted good support here when a strong-finishing second behind Send Harry over 7f and the form of that race has been working out well. Bella Colombia has won three times this year, including over C&D, and should be suited by this return to a mile.
Prediction : 1st Moyassr 2nd Coasting 3rd Bella Colombia

NEVERMINDTHERAIN appears to have been found a good opportunity to open her account. The daughter of No Nay Never has been placed on a number of occasions, notably when third behind Alpha in the Group 3 Silver Flash Stakes over this trip at Leopardstown, and this represents a significant drop in class after taking on Group 1 company last time at Longchamp. Sonic Sabiha was narrowly denied over C&D earlier this month, while Golden Alibi won a barrier trial at Leopardstown before being far from disgraced in the Listed Blenheim Stakes over 6f at Fairyhouse. Coloursofthewind and National Debate are two newcomers by Sioux Nation to note in the market.
Prediction : 1st Nevermindtherain 2nd Golden Alibi 3rd Sonic Sabiha

MUDYRK took a big step forward from his debut at Navan in May when runner-up to Florida Bay the following month over this trip at Fairyhouse. The form of that race has worked out exceptionally well since, although it is of some concern that the son of Mehmas has not been seen since. Golden Idol may have been unsuited by the heavy ground when third behind the odds-on Raging Bull on debut at the Curragh last month, while Jacob's Journey and Tantardini are others to consider. Eucalyptus is a half-brother to the smart Passenger and any market support would be significant.
Prediction : 1st Mudyrk 2nd Golden Idol 3rd Eucalyptus

JAZZIT shaped on plenty of occasions as though his turn was near and finally got off the mark over C&D recently. He responded really well to James Ryan's urgings and may be able to progress again with his confidence buoyed. Pocket Jacks could only manage a midfield position at Gowran Park, although that came after a break so better is anticipated. Battleforsupremacy took a step back in the right direction when fourth over track and trip and he rounds out the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jazzit 2nd Pocket Jacks 3rd Battleforsupremacy

UNA MATATA paid her way at this venue at the start of the year and following a string of lesser efforts that saw her handicap mark drop, she served notice that she is ready to win again when a close-up third over C&D. She returns on the same rating and gets the vote. Roman Harry struggled on the beach at Laytown, but he occupied the runner-up berth over a mile here before that so can't be dismissed lightly. Leannespour and Strikepoint are on retrieval missions after letting down favourite-backers here and at Gowran respectively.
Prediction : 1st Una Matata 2nd Roman Harry 3rd Leannespour

The return to 6f gives CRAYONS IN THE SKY an excellent opportunity to shed the maiden tag at the fifth time of asking. She finished fourth when tried over 7f behind subsequent Fillies' Mile runner-up Haven here last month and is expected to be too strong for Normanton, who is entitled to improve from his Curragh debut. Belle Parvenue hasn't been disgraced on either start to date and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Crayons In The Sky 2nd Normanton 3rd Belle Parvenue

ENCHANTED LADY got off the mark here earlier in the month having benefited from the switch to the all-weather and a 7lb rise might not be enough to stop the daughter of New Bay from backing that performance up. Copper Craft won here in August and has to enter the reckoning, while others capable of a decent showing include Coolnagrattan and Gallo Dell Cielo.
Prediction : 1st Enchanted Lady 2nd Copper Craft 3rd Coolnagrattan
