6/1

Twice a winner at Dundalk last winter and ran well when second of 9 in handicap over C&D (3/1) 19 days ago, front-running and only beaten by a head. Up 4lbs for that near miss, which makes life tougher but clearly enjoys this track despite not winning in 15 races.

Has been poor in all but one start, finishing 10th of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (50/1) 26 days ago when chasing leaders before weakening early in straight. Hood removed and drops back to 5f today, but previous run over C&D resulted in a well-beaten 13th.

Forecasts

Hero Of The Hour (7/2), Lismacbryan Hill (7/2), Turn Up The Beat (4/1), Hasiyna (6/1), Steel Magnolia (15/2), Just Jump (10/1), Tommy McJohn (10/1), Hezahunk (20/1), Gimmieminnie (25/1), Phil's Dream (33/1), Dark Enigma (33/1), Carmina Burana (40/1), She's A Gift (40/1)

TURN UP THE BEAT made eye-catching headway when third over C&D 19 days ago despite being slowly away and hanging left, and could be competitive if addressing these starting issues. Hero Of The Hour, a four-time course winner, reverts to 5f with visor refitted off a workable mark. Steel Magnolia wasn't disgraced five days ago and should appreciate this drop back in trip.
