Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Cherry Hill Girl heads the field on our figures with a rating of 84, a clear 7 lb better than Glitter And Glory on 77, and that margin gives her the strongest case over this 10 furlongs on the Dundalk all-weather. Glitter And Glory is the principal danger, with Femme Beauty just a pound behind her on 76 and Love Orchid on 73 also in the mix. In a 14-runner field nothing is certain, but Cherry Hill Girl has the best figures on the page and looks the one to beat. Cherry Hill Girl is our selection.

Femme Beauty won twice in her last six starts, taking successive races three and four starts back, and a third two starts back keeps that form in view; she has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating ranks her third of 14. The risk is a quick return, two days after an eighth last time out, while carrying 143 lb.

Cherry Hill Girl is winless in her last six and unplaced on her last two starts, though she was third four starts back and returns on a quick 12-day turnaround, and she has run over today's trip. Our rating of 84 sets her clear of an official 71, so she's the one to beat from draw 12.

Mrs J. Harrington 1/12
Glitter And Glory arrives in decent heart after a third last time out just 16 days ago, and she has run on today's going before. Our rating of 77 ranks her second of 14, though the main risk is a patchy record of a ninth, two sevenths and a fifth before that, and she is yet to win in her last six starts.

Ben Coen
J. P. Murtagh 1/11
Phlox was fourth last time out, then a sixth two starts back, and a fifth three starts back, so she is yet to win in her last three and has been consistent without quite getting involved. She has run over today's trip, but 90 days off, 139 lb from stall 3 and a ranking of eighth of 14 on our rating keep her in the midfield.

African Affair bounced back from an eighth to win two starts back, but was only sixth last time out, 24 days ago, so consistency is a question. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 69 sits just above his official 68, though 138 lb from stall nine leaves little margin.

Wild Berries won two starts back but has been unplaced in four of her other last five runs, and returns after 49 days with a stable out of form (1/20). She has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 69 ranks her sixth of 14, though 134 lb from stall 8 is no help.

Montevetro is without a win in his last six and has been out of the first three in his last four, though he was second and third before that and has run over today's trip and going. Fresh enough after 21 days, he's rated 64 by us against an official 62, and carries 132 lb from stall five.

My First Rose is winless in her last four, with finishes of eighth and sixth among them, though she has run over today's trip and returns after 29 days. Carrying 130 lb from stall 2, she looks held by the weight, and our rating of 63 only ranks her tenth of 14.

Mothel Abbey is hard to fancy, having finished ninth in each of his last two and remaining winless in his last four, with an eighth four starts back the best of them. He has run on today's going and returns after 14 days, but our 54 ranks him twelfth of 14.

Chloe's Boy was third last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but that is his only recent top-three finish since a win five starts back, with a fifth, an eighth and a ninth also in the mix. Back in just seven days from draw 11, he looks hard to fancy, ranked 11 of 14 on our figures.

Quinchy Lady is hard to fancy, unplaced in four of her last five and a seventh three starts back the best of it, so she is yet to win in that spell. She has run over today's trip and had 36 days off, but our rating of 45 ranks her 13th of 14.
