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.

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.
