Tip for this race
All today's tips ›April Mist heads our ratings on 86, narrowly ahead of Cyclone Code on 84, and that edge is enough to make her the pick in a competitive ten-runner sprint at Dundalk. Cyclone Code is the chief danger, being only a couple of pounds behind, while Lake Lugano (80) and Premier View (79) sit a little further back but could still figure if the pace falls right. The remainder look to have a bit to find, with Cat Blade and Syrah well adrift on our figures. April Mist gets the vote.

April Mist won four starts back and was second five starts back, though she has been seventh in her last three outings. She has run over today's trip, returns after 32 days, and our rating of 86 tops the field, so she is the one to beat from draw 4.

Henry de Bromhead 7/34
Premier View arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and again two starts back, and he's fresh enough after 25 days off, having also run over today's trip. The main risk is a 138 lb burden from stall two, with his official mark of 80 now to be proven after back-to-back wins.

Aidan O'Brien 12/59
Placed in his last two, second last time out and a third two starts back, Lake Lugano is back quickly after seven days and has run on today's going before, making him a leading threat from draw 3. The one concern is that he remains yet to win in his last four starts.

Fourth last time out and again two starts back, with a third three starts back, Cyclone Code is consistent and fresh enough after 24 days, and he has run over today's trip. Our rating of 84 sits well clear of his official 74, though he is yet to win and carries 132 lb from draw 10.

Robson De Aguiar 2/12
Belle Island is winless in her last six, with an unplaced effort last time and a third six starts back the best of her recent form, though she has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 76 sits a few pounds above her official 70. A 48-day break and a burden of 128 lb from stall 1 leave her looking a midfield type.

Robson De Aguiar 2/12
Cat Blade is winless in his last three, with an eighth two starts back sandwiched by unplaced efforts, so he is hard to fancy off 127 lb from stall nine. On the plus side, he is fresh enough after 14 days and has run over today's trip and going before, though our rating of 62 ranks him ninth of ten.

Kevin Thomas Coleman 0/14
The Drambling Man comes here in better heart after a fourth last time out and a third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip, but he is yet to win in his last six starts. Our rating of 75 sits well above his official mark of 63, though ranking seventh of ten keeps him in the midfield.

Nathan Crosse
Eddie & Patrick Harty 1/13
Santo Parvenue was a fifth last time out, and a win three starts back is the lone success in his last six, so he's hard to fancy on consistency. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip, is fit after 16 days off, and our rating still has him eighth of ten.

Syrah is winless in her last four, with a fourth last time out, a fifth two starts back and an eighth three starts back, and ranked last of ten on our figures she is hard to fancy. In her favour, she has run over today's trip and is back after 25 days, with a draw of seven.
