3:55 Dundalk Tips

Moyassr had some good form this time last year for John Kiely, finishing 2nd in a handicap here at Dundalk in September and then winning a handicap in October. He struggled on turf throughout the summer, but with a mark 8 lbs below his last winning one, he returned to Dundalk last week to win a mile handicap. Although raised 6 lbs, he is still 2 lbs below last October's win. Back him to follow up.

Comfort Line is taken to score for Ado McGuinness, who has a good few runners on the card at Dundalk. Second of 14 over course and distance last time out and beaten by a well-fancied 3-year-old trained by Ger Lyons. Unlikely to meet another of that calibre here. Raised 1 pound but not badly handicapped off a mark of 65. Adam Caffrey (SR 20%) rides. Good, pretty consistent sort with 6 wins from 33 AW starts. Losing run building up now since a win here in March off OR72.

Forgiveness & lots of it are required in this game so you would need to be forgiving of Laura Hourigan's 8 year old Gelding NOTFORALONGTIME's very out of character run here @Dundalk 7 days ago where this Son of PACO BOY stumbled out of the gates & struggled to make amends so yes not ideal however this charge is 'Normally' quite dependable on this surface with a very respectable 27.27% win strike rate here & Won this very contest in 2022 off a mark of 66 (now 62). The more experienced rider Wayne Hassett(3lb) takes the reins & has a whopping 80% place strike rate whilst riding for this yard the past year. Trainer has a very good 37.50% win strike rate here the past year. At current odds of 28/1 I'm very keen to see if that was just a blip last time out, if it blows up in my face so be it.
