1. Dandy Lichious (IRE) – With strong connections to winners and a top yard, this first foal is one to fear if fancied in the market. The pedigree suggests potential for early success.
2. Lightening Army – A well-bred colt with a half-brother to three winners, including a useful 1m1f-1m3f winner. Connections had a smart 2yo winner at the Curragh last week, making this one a respected contender.
3. Dundrum (IRE) – A €31,000 yearling with a dam who was a 6f 2yo winner and stayed 1m. This colt comes from a respected yard and should be watched closely in the market.

It is essential to keep an eye on market moves and any additional information that may become available before the race.

18:00 Dundalk Fri 31 Mar 7f App Claiming Stks

1. Rocky Dreams – A consistent performer with six AW wins up to 7f, he has been performing well throughout the winter season. Coming back to 7f from 1m last time should suit him, and he is likely to be closely involved.
2. Inflection Point – This horse has been consistently running well at this course over the winter, including a 6f claimer win earlier this month. Though he found the 5f too sharp last week, he stays this trip and should be a contender.
3. Hypernova – A Fairyhouse maiden winner last summer, he has shown potential in the past. Although he hasn’t reached that level in six runs here over the winter, his 3rd place finish in a 6f claimer last time suggests he could be involved in this race.

18:30 Dundalk Fri 31 Mar 2m Hcap

1. Vee Dancer – Coming off a career-best win in a 13-runner handicap at this C&D, Vee Dancer has been raised 9lb but still warrants serious consideration. Made all to justify good support last month and is likely to be a strong contender in this race.
2. Mephisto – Gained a first AW win over C&D in January and finished a close second to Vee Dancer last time out, ¾ length behind. With consistent performances, Mephisto should be in the mix for a top position.
3. Sea Oscar – Ran a good second in a handicap at this course over 12f recently, and while stepping up in trip, should be considered for a potential top 3 finish.

19:00 Dundalk Fri 31 Mar 1m Mdn

1. Rick Dalton – Sets a clear form standard in this race, and if he acts well on the surface and is fit enough on return, he should be the one to beat. Market strength should guide his chances.
2. Relevant Range – Had Expound and El Campeador behind when runner-up over C&D on debut for this yard, and although he didn’t improve in his last race, the return to this trip could be beneficial. He should be in contention for a top spot.
3. Expound – Performed well on the flat, finishing just behind Relevant Range in previous races. With the return to 1m, Expound should be close and could secure a top 3 position.

19:30 Dundalk Fri 31 Mar 1m Hcap

1. Royal Tribute – Has been consistent in recent handicaps, with back-to-back third-place finishes over this trip. He should be in the mix and could be the one to beat.
2. Feature This – Winner and twice second over C&D in January, she has a strong chance after a good runner-up performance last week. Merits consideration and should be involved in the finish.
3. Miss Abby Jools – C&D winner who could feature on her return to 1m now, especially with Adam Caffrey claiming a valuable 7lb. She is expected to show more this time and has potential to secure a top 3 position.

20:00 Dundalk Fri 31 Mar 1m2f Mdn

1. Just An Hour – Promising second place over 1m at this venue on his sole start at two. Off 119 days and significantly up in trip. He should have more to offer and could be the one to beat.
2. Cape Bridgewater – Promising individual, who finished second at this course over 8f, running on late. Off 161 days and significantly up in trip. Likely to take another step forward and should be a strong contender.
3. Giselles Defence – Shaped promisingly on debut, finishing third behind a well-fancied stablemate of Glazunov over C&D. With normal improvement, he should be in the mix and has potential to secure a top 3 position.

20:30 Dundalk Fri 31 Mar 1m2f Hcap

1. Emeric – First-time blinkers seemed to have a positive effect when he finished second over C&D last time. Blinkers are left off now, but with Colin Keane sticking with him, he should be a strong contender in this race.
2. Miss Upbeat – Despite poor maiden form, she showed promise over C&D on her handicap debut, running on well after meeting trouble in running. She is open to further improvement and closely matched with Holy Divine. With more to offer, she could be in the mix for a top 3 finish.
3. Dark Street – In excellent form over the extended 1m2f at this venue, notching two seconds and a win between last October and December. He has maintained a consistent standard of form with two fifth placings this year and should be considered for a top 3 spot.
