Racing in Ireland today comes from Dundalk.
"Both Nocturnal Affair and Mayson ran well in competitive handicaps last time, but both of those are forced to concede over a stone to the progressibe British juvenile and Bannock will take plenty of pegging back from stall one"
Three selections on the all-weather at Dundalk.
Grainne Whale (18:15) may well have bumped into one some way ahead of her mark when runner-up to Ashton Rose here last time and should gain a deserved first success in the opener. She has held her form well this season, placed on five occasions, and looks to have an excellent chance in what looks a very ordinary handicap. Homebrew looks the biggest danger, but the drop back to a mile isn't ideal for him and [5.5] looks too big for one as consistent at Grainne Whale.
The aforementioned Ashton Rose (19:10) won well here last month, beating our first selection with plenty to spare in a 1m handicap, and she looks to have strong claims of defying a 7 lb rise. She had caught the eye on several occasions prior to that that win, getting no luck in-running at Roscommon, and did well to overcome a wide draw last time. She's again unlucky to have been drawn 11, but she has enough speed to get across and should see off an inferior bunch.
The listed sprint event later on the card looks a fascinating affair with the two-year-old's taking on their elders, and it can go the way of the Mark Johnston-trained Bannock (20:30), who is well drawn, progressive and receives plenty of weight from his main rivals. Both Nocturnal Affair and Mayson ran well in competitive handicaps last time, but both of those are forced to concede over a stone to the British juvenile and Bannock will take plenty of pegging back from stall one.
