Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Tolebi heads our ratings on 82, six pounds clear of Thaloria and Golddream on 76, and that is a meaningful edge in a 14-runner 7f contest on the Dundalk all-weather. Thaloria and Golddream are the obvious dangers on that evidence, with Teffian Warrior a further three pounds back on 73 and capable of getting involved if the pace falls his way. Nothing else in the line-up rates within ten pounds of Tolebi, so he looks the one to beat, though confidence is only low. Tolebi is our selection.

Moyassr arrives fresh enough off 14 days, having finished second in three of his last six, though he was unplaced last time and a sixth two starts back; he has run over today's trip and going, but is yet to win and carries 142 lb from draw 14, while our rating of 71 sits fifth of 14.

G. O'Leary 2/11
Tolebi has run over today's distance and going before, and returns fresh after 22 days; he is yet to win in his last six, but a fourth and two fifths in that spell back him up. Our 82 rating tops the field of 14 against an official 72, making him the one to beat from draw 13.

Edward Lynam 1/3
Beach Barbie won last time out 19 days ago and has run over today's trip and going, but she was unplaced in two of the three runs before that. Carrying 138 lb from stall 11, she is hard to fancy with our rating of 66 only 12th of 14.

Jack W Davison 0/4
Estrallita is winless in her last four, beaten into eighth last time out, and ranks 13th of 14 on our figures, so she is hard to fancy. In her favour, she has run over today's trip and going, was third two starts back, and returns after 14 days from stall 7.

Daniel James Murphy 2/9
Won last time out and a second two starts back, and he's fresh from just 12 days ago, having run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 136 lb from stall 12, he's ranked seventh of 14 by our rating, so a quick turnaround and the weight temper the case.

Miss Katy Brown 0/0
Isthatrightkatie is hard to fancy, beaten into eighth last time out and winless in her last four, with a fourth two starts back her best recent effort. She has run on today's going and returns after 19 days, but 135 lb from stall 1 is no help, and our rating of 61 sits below her official 65.

Miss Natalia Lupini 0/7
Our rating of 76 puts Thaloria second of 14 and well clear of her official 65, while she has run over today's trip and going and returns after 33 days off from stall nine. The main risk is a form line that reads sixth last time out, a fourth two starts back and nothing better, and she is yet to win in her last six.

Usuario Amigo won last time out but was sixth two starts back, and he returns after 47 days off with 134 lb from draw 8. He has run over today's trip and going, though the patchy form before that win holds him back.

Gordon Elliott 9/58
Boston Max is yet to win in his last six, though he was second six starts back and again two starts back, and a fourth last time out 19 days ago keeps him ticking over. Having run over today's trip and going helps, but ranked last of 14 by our figures, carrying 132 lb from stall 15, he is hard to fancy.

Won last time out and only seven days ago, so she's fit and in form, and has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 70 ranks her sixth of 14, though 132 lb from draw 3 is a hefty burden for an official mark of 62.

Nathan Crosse
Ciaran Murphy 0/19
Teffian Warrior has run over today's trip and arrives on an official mark of 62, with our rating of 73 ranking him fourth of 14, so he looks a leading danger on ability, having finished fourth twice in his last three starts before a sixth last time out. The main risk is a 156-day absence, with 132 lb to carry from stall six.

Adrian McGuinness 2/22
Winless in his last six, Blue Anthem was runner-up twice and third before a fifth two starts back and an eighth last time out, 12 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 68 sits him tenth of 14, and carrying 128 lb from stall four, he looks a midfield sort.

Free Solo is yet to win in his last six starts, though a second five runs back and a fourth two starts back show he can sit closer, and he returns quickly after 13 days; he has run over today's trip and going, but carries 128 lb from stall 2 and our rating of 69 only ranks him eighth of 14.

David Marnane 1/7
Golddream arrives fit after 12 days off, finishing a fourth last time out, and has run over today's trip and on this going before, while our rating of 76 ranks him third of 14. The risk is that he is winless in his last six starts, with a fifth three starts back his best other finish.
