Land Of The Giants^h²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A McGuinness| OR: 60

33/1

Fair maiden but operating below his best in recent Dundalk starts. A return to turf needs to spark a revival.

Form: 27-3600

Comfort Line^v¹¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: Gabriella Hill⁽⁷⁾| T: A McGuinness| OR: 58| D

12/1

Twenty one runs since last win in 2025. Respectable 4¼ lengths fourth of 11 to Alto Sax in handicap at Dundalk (1m) 11 days ago. Nicely handicapped if he can build on that back on turf.

Sedro Woolley^v1⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Billy Lee| T: W McCreery| OR: 58

11/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Dundalk (6f, 85/40) 60 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut with a visor added. Much less exposed than the majority of these and Billy Lee rides. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him.

Form: 5-56

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Dundalk (1m) 60 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Makes handicap debut. Worth a second look in the betting.

20/1

Eighteen runs since last win in 2024. 7/1, creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (1m) in a refitted visor (retained) 37 days ago. Player if she can build on that.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Nicola Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 45| D

Twenty eight runs since last win in 2023. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (11/1) at Dundalk (10.7f) 51 days ago. Back down in trip. His claims aren't that obvious but the yard did win this race last year.

Forecasts

Miss Americana (7/2), Alto Sax (11/2), Sedro Woolley (11/2), Launch Time (8/1), Bang Po (8/1), Searcog (9/1), Cleopatra's Needle (12/1), Comfort Line (12/1), Rampage (12/1), My Girl Robyn (14/1), Hale Bopp (16/1), Believeth (16/1), Heart Of Darkness (20/1), Chavajod (25/1), Moonlight Molly (28/1), Land Of The Giants (33/1), Swift Charm (40/1), Clifftop (40/1), Darwin's Angel (50/1), Rock Etoile (50/1), Gobi Star (66/1), Bel Espoir (80/1), Romantic War (150/1)

This is a quick turnaround for MISS AMERICANA after Thursday's Gowran reappearance but she might be worth chancing to strike while the iron is hot. Alto Sax will be a danger if backing up his recent Dundalk success. Searcog, Launch Time and the Ado McGuinness-trained Heart of Darkness are others to consider.
