6:15 Dundalk Tips

Adrian McGuinness picks up plenty of races around here, and his One Cool Bear looks at least a placer on current form.

Was a winner over this course and distance on debut in February. Likely to improve from having had that run, and no surprise to see following up.

Unplaced in her first five starts, Stone Bear found improvement to win over course and distance in January. She probably found the step up to seven furlongs, rather than the 8 lb rise, was against her 17 days later. Back at six furlongs, she looks like a good each-way bet with four places on offer.

Lady Landhort arrives in winning form after a C&D success and is still well treated despite the penalty. The rider’s claim helps, making her a strong contender to follow up quickly.

At 14/1 there is enough substance for me to take a chance with Michael Mulvany's 3 year old Filly CAUSE I LIKE YOU who returns to the All Weather surface after not taking to the swamp like conditions @Naas 10 days ago. This Daughter of DANDY MAN's penultimate here @Dundalk over the minimum trip doesn't exactly jump out at you at first glance (8th 6½ lengths) but this Girl was very badly hampered as she was pushed against the rail turning in but still keeping on come the finish, Now 5lbs lighter & stepped up in trip & not drawn in the carpark this time are all positives. Jockey Wesley Joyce claims 3lbs & has a 44% place strike rate the past fortnight.

Love Bomb did a good job winning on handicap debut off a 65 but took on 7 lbs and has had three terrible starts since. As a 3yo she should still be improving and has dropped back to a 66 with W J Lee this time, so I would expect more today if getting a better start. EW 4P

This 3-year-old looks value at 25/1, with a rating of 57 on her return. Last autumn, she demonstrated solid 5f form at this course, finishing a notable 5th in a nursery. She is capable on AW and is partnered with a 7 lb claimer, which will help lighten the load.
