Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Leading Dancer is our selection, and his progressive profile makes him the one to side with in this Class 1 eight-furlong contest at Dundalk. He sits on a rating of 108, just a pound behind the top-rated Carolina Jetstream, so the gap is minimal and the upward trajectory can tip it his way. Carolina Jetstream is the chief danger on 109, while Dancing Saxon shares Leading Dancer's figure of 108 and Josh's Joy, on 104, is not out of it either. In a big field of 14 on the all-weather, Leading Dancer looks the most likely to keep improving and get the job done.

James Ryan
G. M. Lyons 3/7
Fourth last time out, after back-to-back wins two and three starts back, shows Suzie Songs is in good heart, and she has run over today's trip. A 55-day break and 131 lb from stall 16 temper enthusiasm, though our rating of 103 ranks her fifth of 14.

Aviatrice was second last time out and has finished in the first three in three of her last six, though she's yet to win and two eighths in between show her inconsistency. She has run over today's trip and going, but 35 days off and 130 lb from stall three temper the case.

Callianassa arrives in cracking nick, a winner last time out and again two starts back, fresh from a 16-day break, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 130 lb from stall 11, her rating of 96 ranks only tenth of 14, which tempers the enthusiasm.

David Egan
Robson De Aguiar 0/3
Carolina Jetstream has run over today's trip and on this going, and her second three starts back, plus another second six starts back, shows she can get involved; our rating of 109 tops the field. The risk is inconsistency, with an unplaced effort last time out and an eighth four starts back.

Edward Bethell 7/21
Winless in her last five, with a second four starts back her best finish, Never Let Go returns after 122 days off and has run over today's trip and going; the in-form yard and a 103 rating offer encouragement, but 130 lb from stall eight is a lot.

Pink Oxalis has finished fourth last time out and is winless in her last six, though a second six starts back shows she can go close, and she has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 95 sits above her official 85, but ranking 11th of 14 hints she's up against it from stall four.

Declan McDonogh
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 1/28
Dancing Saxon arrives in cracking form, a second last time out and another second two starts back, with a third and two wins in her last six, and she has run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is a stable struggling at 1/28 over the last 14 days, and she's had 33 days off.

J M Sheridan
Joseph Patrick O'Brien 1/28
Hard to fancy, with an unplaced run last time and a trainer going 1/28 lately, though she has won twice in her last five starts, a winner two starts back and again four back. She has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 90 still leaves her near the bottom of the field.

Chris Hayes
Donnacha Aidan O'Brien 1/2
Josh's Joy bounced back from a seventh to finish a fifth, then a fifth again, then a fourth last time out, and she has run over today's trip, while her win came five starts back. Our rating of 104 ranks her fourth of 14, but 34 days off and 128 lb from draw 10 leave her little margin.

Leading Dancer is our pick on profile: a winner three and four starts back, then a second two starts back, before a seventh last time out, and she's fresh enough off 19 days' rest. She has run over today's trip and going, and carries 128 lb from draw 14.

Prevalence arrives a last-time-out winner, with another win three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. A 46-day break and an unplaced run two starts back temper things, while 128 lb from stall one and a ranking of eighth of 14 on our rating keep her midfield.

Quiescent won twice in her last five starts, four and five starts back, but has since tailed off with a ninth three starts back, a fourth two starts back and an unplaced run last time. She has run over today's trip, is back after 19 days, and our rating of 96 leaves her ninth of 14 off 128 lb.

Wearing Stars won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but she's back after only seven days, was seventh two starts back and is burdened with 128 lb from stall 17. Our figures rank her last of 14, which makes her hard to fancy.

White Sand Beach won last time out and was second twice before that, but she's had a 36-day break and has run over today's trip only as experience, so little else backs her up. Our rating ranks her bottom of the field, though the yard's 10 winners from 31 lately is a positive.

Robert Whearty
G. M. Lyons 3/7
Mallavelly won last time out, but that came after a seventh, a seventh and a sixth in her prior three, so consistency is a worry, and she has only a 35-day-old win to lean on. She has run over today's trip and going, yet our rating ranks her 13th of 14, and she carries 130 lb from draw 15.

Miss Kate McGivern 0/0
Temperance is yet to win in her last six starts, finishing eighth last time out, though a third two starts back shows she can bridge the gap. She has run over today's trip and going, but 130 lb from stall 2 is a big ask for a filly ranked 12 of 14 by our rating.
