7:48 Dundalk Tips

Copper Craft was a decent third here on the return last month. He goes again off the same mark and should be all the better for that run. Worth a shot stepping up to 1m4f.

In great form here over the winter. Won over course and distance in April. Tenth of 14 back on turf latest. No surprise to see a bounce back.

Only one win from 22 runs on the flat. Was a huge price when pulled up in a novice hurdle at Tramore latest. Each-way chances back on the flat today.

There are a few in here that should have chances, but my slight preference is for Church Mountain. This horse won over course and distance in January from one pound lower. Form history shows he's usually competitive around here from this sort of mark. Can blow a bit hot and cold, so it depends if today is a going day. With Sheridan on board, I'll take a chance each-way. Eastern Wind and Chopsticks are also likely to go well.

The 8-year-old has demonstrated his ability as a winner over both course and distance, particularly excelling on AW with his return to the surface he prefers. With a drop to a more competitive rating, he has a strong opportunity to place at decent odds.
