Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Tyson Fury looks the one to beat at Dundalk, rated 92 on our figures, a full 12 lb clear of Plontier on 80, and that is a significant margin in a 14-runner ten-furlong event on the all-weather. Plontier is the main danger, with Earthwatch (73) and Daonethatgotaway (69) the others best placed to pick up the pieces if our selection fails to fire. Nothing beyond that trio gets within 24 lb of Tyson Fury, who should prove too strong over the trip. Tyson Fury is the selection.

Aiteall comes here in decent shape, third last time out and a second two starts back, with just seven days since that run and experience of today's trip and going. Yet to win in his last six, he carries 137 lb from draw 14, and our rating of 56 ranks him only ninth of 14.

Sherekiya is winless in her last five, though a third three starts back shows she can get involved, and she's fit enough after 11 days off. Carrying 137 lb from stall five, she looks held on an official mark of 67, with our rating of 66 placing her sixth of 14.

Last seen finishing eighth and without a win since scoring five starts back, Tyson Fury has to bounce back, but he has run over today's trip and going and returns after 23 days. Our rating of 92 tops the field of 14, 7 lb clear of his official 85, which makes him the one to beat from stall 4.

Earthwatch has been well beaten in recent starts, with a ninth last time out and a eighth four starts back, but he's back after just 15 days and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 73 sits six above his official 67 and ranks him third of 14, though the main risk is that he's yet to win and hasn't finished closer than eighth lately.

Mrs J. Harrington 3/35
Winless in her last two, Vivere A Colori was fifth last time out 28 days ago and unplaced the run before, so she is hard to fancy from stall 13 with 126 lb. In her favour, she has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 49 ranks her 13th of 14.

Terence O'Brien 0/3
Fifteen days since a sixth last time out keeps Plontier fit, and he showed his best with a second three starts back, while our rating of 80 ranks him second of 14 and supports his claims from stall 15. The main risk is that he is winless in his last five starts and has finished unplaced twice in that spell.
