Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap

Four time course winner (two C&D) who had been in good form prior to a disappointing effort here last time. He's the type to bounce back but probably a shade vulnerable for win purposes off this sort of mark.

Not the most straightforward type but he goes well around here and he can be forgiven a couple of below par efforts on turf when last seen on unsuitable ground. Handicapper has given him a real chance and ought to run well here.

Has a win and two seconds around here but he's on a long losing run at present and he was well beaten at Kempton when last seen. First start for new yard now and has a bit to find at present.

Found some form towards the end of the turf season and built on that with an AW win here earlier in the month. Possible the handicapper has caught up with her now but still ran well in defeat last time out and step up in trip could eke improvement.

Has won four of his 27 starts but AW debut last time out wasn't particularly encouraging. Could do with learning to settle better and wide draw not ideal here.

Belated got his head back in front here earlier in the month and ran well over this trip at Laytown on his previous start so drop back in distance shouldn't be an issue. Capable off this revised mark.

Seemingly an AW specialist, winning two of his last three starts on synthetic surfaces. 5lb rise for the latest success is fair and may not have reached the ceiling of his capabilities just yet.

Narrowly got the better of Ahundrednotout here last time out and that form has worked out very nicely with the second and third both winning since. 4lb rise could be very lenient for that success and she ought to go well here.

Won twice this year on turf and while he's yet to record a success on AW, he's been running okay in defeat of late around here. Step back up to this trip should suit and he holds place claims.

29 starts since his last win, a C&D success from 7lb higher in the handicap. Disappointed on his return to AW last time though and others arrive with stronger claims.

Won her maiden around here over 7f and put up her best effort yet when only narrowly denied over C&D last time out. Left on the same mark again by the handicapper and expected to go well, particularly if she can settle a bit better.

Yet to win in six AW starts and looks up against it on these terms, shoved up by the handicapper for a respectable effort at Navan when last seen; others preferred.
