6:45 Dundalk Tips

Master Garvey appeals because he combines a light weight, a good inside draw, and proven course-and-distance form. In this kind of Dundalk handicap, that blend can be very dangerous. He may not arrive with flashy winning form, but his ratings keep him firmly in the mix, and the setup looks ideal for him to outrun plenty of rivals and go very close.

Good run here last time when not beaten far into third. The handicapper has given him a chance by leaving him on the same mark, which is twenty-one pounds below the initial and highest rating. The step up in trip looks a positive move. In here off bottom weight and looks interesting at the price.

Comfort Line showed strong early pace last time, battling under pressure before fading late. With similar tactics and a slight improvement, she can hold on better and prove hard to beat.

Roman Harry has won just 2 of his 40 starts, but he has been placed on 8 occasions. He won over 7 furlongs here at Dundalk in December and has finished fourth in two starts since. He struggled on turf at Leopardstown last week but probably did not appreciate the yielding ground. Now down 3 lbs from that, he looks a good each-way bet here back on sand.

Best run in her five runs so far, going by RPR ratings, was over this trip at Navan in September. That has been her only attempt at the trip so far. Returns from a break at arguably her best trip, with the excellent Colin Keane riding. First-time cheekpieces are on, and she is 9 lb lower than her first handicap mark last year.

Finished a one-length 2nd here in April last year over a furlong shorter. That was off a mark of 59 and a 10 lb claimer rode that day, but this claimer seems to get the best of him with 4 wins and 6 places, and he claims 5 lb off a mark of 49. No surprises if he's ready now on his third run back from a break.
