Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Sir Les Patterson No. 1, stall 8
Jack Kearney · Stephen Thorne
✓ Top rated ✓ Course & distance winner
Sir Les Patterson looks the one to beat in this ten-runner 6f event at Dundalk, topping our figures on 101 and sitting four pounds clear of his nearest pursuer, which is a worthwhile edge in a race that looks competitive beneath him. Kerdos is the chief danger on 97, while Daamberdiplomat (91) and City House (90) are the other rivals with enough ability to make it a contest if the top-rated runner is below his best. Even so, Sir Les Patterson's superior figure gives him the strongest claim on the all-weather surface, and he is firmly preferred here. Sir Les Patterson is the selection.

Stephen Thorne 0/5
Fourth last time out and a second two starts back suggest Sir Les Patterson is in decent heart, and he has run over today's trip and going before after 21 days off. Yet to win in his last six, he still tops our ranking at 101 against an official mark of 100, so he is the one to beat.

Kerdos has won twice in his last six starts, including a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, with our rating of 97 ranking him second of ten. The risk is a ninth last time out, and he must now carry 134 lb from stall two.

Daamberdiplomat won last time out and was also a winner five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before, with our rating of 91 ranking him third of ten. The one concern is a 392-day absence, so fitness is the question carrying 129 lb from stall three.

Chicago Pope has been unplaced in his last two starts, though a fourth three starts back and a win four starts back show he can still go well, and he has run over today's trip. Our rating of 90 ranks him fifth of ten, and he carries 125 lb from draw 9 after 29 days off.

City House arrives a fresh winner last time out just 14 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 90 ranks him fourth of ten. The risk is consistency, as he finished sixth, eighth and fifth in the three runs before that win.

Nina Doherty (10)
Paul W Flynn 1/4
Four wins in his last six starts, including a winning run last time out and each of the three runs before that, makes him hard to dismiss, and he is fit after nine days off and has run over today's trip and going. Even so, our rating of 70 puts him tenth of ten, and he must carry 122 lb from stall 10 off an official mark of 82.

Robson De Aguiar 0/5
Winning last time out and a second two starts back is decent form, and he has run over today's trip and going, but he is hard to fancy at 121 lb off an official mark of 81. Our rating of 79 ranks him ninth of ten, and a speed figure of 70 doesn't help from stall one.

T G McCourt 0/1
All The Girls was a second last time out and has been fit enough since, back after 14 days, but she is winless in her last six and was only seventh and fourth before that. She has run over this trip and going, yet our figures rank her eighth of ten.

Eddie G arrives fit after 14 days, having finished third last time out, and has run over today's trip and going before, but he is winless in his last six and was unplaced two starts back. Carrying 120 lb from stall five, he looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 80 ranking him seventh of ten.

Frescobaldi was fifth last time out just 14 days ago and has run over today's trip and going, but he is winless in his last six and only sixth of ten on our ratings at 84, so this looks a mid-pack effort from stall 4 off 120 lb.
