Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Closefield Beau looks the right one to side with in this seven-runner Dundalk contest, topping our figures on 78 and sitting five pounds clear of the next best, which is a worthwhile advantage over this 7f trip on the all-weather. Scarlet Dream is the chief danger on 73, with Littlepacer only a pound further back on 72, so neither can be dismissed, while Mutamarid Lsk on 65 looks a step behind the leading trio. Closefield Beau has the beating of them on our numbers and is the confident choice.

Closefield Beau comes in on the back of consecutive fourths, fresh enough after 19 days and with experience of today's trip and going, and our rating of 78 puts him top of the seven-runner field. He is yet to win in his last five starts, but he looks the one to beat from stall 6.

Littlepacer arrives a last-time-out winner, just 16 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 72 ranks her third of seven. The main risk is a stable struggling for form, with just one winner from 21 in the last 14 days.

Annie Tips is winless in her last four, though a sixth last time out is her best finish in that run, and she has run over today's trip. Carrying 133 lb from stall 2 after 37 days off, she looks a midfield type, ranked fifth of seven by our rating.

Scarlet Dream is yet to win in her last five, but a fifth two starts back and a fourth three starts back show she's capable, and she has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 73 ranks her second of seven, though the main risk is a seventh last time out.

Jordan Kidd 0/1
Fiery Anne is winless in her last three, unplaced twice before a sixth three starts back, so she is hard to fancy off 129 lb and a 28-day break. She has run over today's trip and on this going, and our figures rank her sixth of seven.

James Ryan
Daniel James Murphy 2/9
Fourth last time out is his best recent effort, and Mutamarid Lsk has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 65 sits well clear of his official 56 from draw 3. The one concern is he's yet to win in his last four starts, with a 33-day break to overcome.

Zelente is winless and unplaced in each of her last three starts, and with the yard 0/22 in the last 14 days she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and is back after 24 days, while our figures rank her last of seven.
