Dundalk
Yamato
Win
Very well treated winning over hurdles over much further and a big field 1m.4 f on turf.
Retuned to England to nick a two miler on the aw two years ago for this trainer.
Important Message
Each way
Third in this race last year and gets in off near bottom weight as reserve.
Left isolated in stall 1. Every chance
Well down on old marks, in regression but return to Dundalk may reawaken.
Grand D’espagne
Each way
Is another reserve coming in as top weight.
A real chance on all weather debut having won well in big races last year notably the cesarewitch eight lengths behind Cape Gentleman. Still a maiden but plenty of miles on the clock and on a good mark.

The Rain King
Coverham

Both each way

The rain King tumbled in the ratings down from 93 joe Fanning rides may need more runs for new yard.
Coverham was nearly robbed of a win when given second place in a photo 36 days ago.

Lord Gorgeous
Each way
First run for prolific yard.
Has run in some big races and this significant drop in class aligned to stall one.
May be best caught first run.
Yard been very quiet.

Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...

[sporting sam]

Yes Triptych, thank you.
I am getting closer.
There is something very unique about Dundalk which many simply do not grasp.
The ultimate grail will be the tricast.
I think I have found an angle there. More to come on that.
I’m enjoying my bumpers.
Nice winner here on that front two days ago.
I never thought I would ever come close to understanding both national Hunt and the flat, but snippets from good people like yourself have really helped broaden things for me on that front.
If I could make these selections further away from the off time, I’d be able to combine them. I’m still not there yet.
