We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Dundalk 8pm

INNAMORE
each way
No one else would have seen this one being given the hands and heels treatment out the back last time.
Ridden into the back of other runners and eyecatcher for that reason.
Jockey when promoted stayed he’d ridden on to others heels two furlongs out. But seen making up ground afterwards and looks potentially primed to get closer now.
Gary Carroll rides for first time to add to the intrigue. At least 20 lbs well in if finding form.

Alexander selection coming up for the 8.30
Dundalk
8.30
TA NA LA
Each way
Started out in a decent maiden at punchestown when sixth to river Thames.
The fifth won two races later and is a 85 rated horse now from 90.
TA NA LA began ratings at 69 and runs off lowest now.
Stepped up in trip on all weather debut ran too freely and hit front early passed and ended up third.
Will get closer now in this 47-67 rated race.

Wolves 7.20

Outbox
Win
Only narrowly beaten in Stockholm group three.
Likes to lead and has won here before.
Top weight in this small group means he’d have to make all.

7.50

Sunstone
Win
Only three lengths or so off the pace and excuses last visit here.
Yards only runner and better chance of winning this event.
Yards only runner here.
Caraghann
Small win
The saver

8.20

QUEEN OF IPEENA
Defied a penalty three times after embarking on a winning run over course and distance.
Had never been placed before.
Returns up in grade up five pounds but unpenalised with William Buick booked. Should be very hard to beat off original winning trip and course, because handicapper never got to her.
FREAK OUT
Each way
Is Joanna mason’s only ride

[sporting sam]

Very nice winner finally last night in the lucky last at wolves.
Fairyhouse 1155
OPTIONAL MIX
Saver win.
But GETAWAY GOLDIE

Alexander selection.
LORD LARIAT
Each way

National winner.
Needs this sort of trip at least to bring him out. Good reappearance run and goes here off top weight.

SCHOOL DAYS OVER
Win
Huntingdon 1.15
Drops massively in class here on hurdles debut.
Showed up very well behind gentle slopes at Cheltenham, and if he can jump a fence he wins.

1255
Lingfield
MAGICAL MAGGIE
Win
Runs off levels here with the favourite thanks to Jay Tidball’s claim and has two wins in a bumper and over hurdles to give her a fighting chance over the listed placed horse.
Big field and no suprise to see one come out of the pack.
PARIKARMA

Well treated on hurdles form and starts on a very generous rating several pounds well in.

Mussleburgh

MASKED CRUSADER
Win
Certainly gets the trip and probably needed the run when second on chase debut last time.
Won over a furlong shorter and close over points.

[sporting sam]

Unlucky faller at the last when clear, but under pressure from eventual winner Diamond state under a good ride.

1.55
Lingfield
LIGHT EM UP NIGEL
FLAT WHITE
LOCK OUT
Light Em up Nigel has found one too good the last four occasions and can continue that run of consistency on handicap debut.
