3/1

Course specialist (5 Dundalk wins) but winless for a year and 15 races, finished fourth of 10 in handicap over 16f here (12/1) on stable debut 7 days ago keeping on but never threatening. Back down in trip/class with Colin Keane aboard. One to consider.

Form: 08800-4

50/1

Has a C&D win and won a hurdle race at Tramore last August (12/1), but finished ninth of 14 in handicap at this course last September (10/1). Continues to fall in the weights and not totally dismissed back in a claimer.

Form: 120/069-

Hurricane Helen^p1¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Daniel King| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 60| C

33/1

Out of sorts in recent Flat runs, finishing 12th of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (40/1) 10 days ago. Down in class with first-time cheekpieces applied on just her fifth start for capable yard.

9/2

Shown improved form at Dundalk recently, including third of 14 in handicap at this course (7/2) 10 days ago, where he led travelling with fluency but had no extra after being headed 1f out. Could be competitive again.

Form: 00428-3

Porsche Lad^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: J M Sheridan| T: D Hogan| OR: 63| CD

11/4

Has two course and distance wins at Dundalk. Seventh of 12 in handicap over 12f (11/2) 14 days ago, not ideally placed and never landed a blow. Should do better dropping back into a claimer over this C&D.

Form: D4134-7

Comfort Line^b¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-8| J: Reese Holohan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 62| C

8/1

Six-time Dundalk winner but winless in 16 attempts since March 2025, ran respectably when 6th of 14 in handicap over 8f at this course (33/1) 10 days ago. Significant trip increase for this claimer but has performed well over this C&D previously.

150/1

Last of 14 in handicap here (66/1) 10 days ago showing nothing on first outing since leaving John McConnell. Hard to fancy in change of headgear.

Jawhary^v⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Adam Caffrey| T: A McGuinness| OR: 55| C

10/3

Ended a long losing run with a win at Dundalk over 12f 35 days ago and won again as 10/3 favourite in a 13-runner handicap at the same course and distance 7 days ago. Drops back to 10f for hat-trick bid but definite player in this claiming race based on current form.

Nibras Rainbow^v¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 53| CD

10/1

Won at this course and distance 65 days ago but finished ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (10/1) 10 days ago, again running below form. Not ruled out if back on song dropped into a claimer.

Form: 22919-9

Poor form continued with 10th of 13 at Dundalk (33/1) 49 days ago, now up in trip with blinkers removed.

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: Zoe McMullan⁽¹⁰⁾| T: G A Kingston| OR: 43| CD

33/1

Won at this C&D (50/1) 44 days ago but finished 10th of 13 in a handicap at Dundalk (14/1) 35 days ago, merely underlining inconsistency. Difficult to be confident.

Forecasts

Porsche Lad (11/4), Autocrat (3/1), Jawhary (10/3), Aingeal Dorcha (9/2), Comfort Line (8/1), Nibras Rainbow (10/1), Zabeir (12/1), Hurricane Helen (33/1), Kartayaz (33/1), Hasten Slowly (50/1), Si Senior (50/1), Guest Star (150/1), Drish Melody (150/1)

PORSCHE LAD can resume winning ways returning to a course and distance where he's twice been successful. Stablemate Comfort Line makes a rare start over 10f but does has form over this C&D, while Jawhary has seemingly found a new lease of life with back-to-back wins over 12f at this course and is respected dropped back in trip for his hat-trick bid. Si Senor remains a risky betting proposition but did outrun her odds to finish third in this race last year.
