14/1
Four-time course winner who is two from nine over C&D but reappears here on a long losing run. Left with something to prove on the balance of his form since December.

7/1
Four from 15 at this track and has been running well in defeat here since the turn of the year. Can go well but may find one or two better suited to this evenings conditions.

Gasta114
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-6| J: G C O'Neill(5)| T: J S Bolger| OR:  74
13/2
Third of 10 beaten 1¼L over 1m here when last seen in October. One for the shortlist from a yard who boast a 69% win and place strike rate at this venue in February since 2016 with the stable three from eight here in the last 30 days.

40/1
Distance winner who is one from seven at this track but has been well held in three starts at this venue since December. Others look more convincing at this level.

8/1
Four-time course winner who is one from 13 over C&D and winner of three of his 26 handicap starts. Running well in defeat here since the turn of the year and one of the leading players here in first-time cheekpieces.

33/1
Didn't progress from a fair start for Roger Varian and generally well beaten in a couple of starts for new connections here since December. Hard to fancy in a race this competitive.

Horse silk
Alhajjajh28
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-3| J: D W O'Connor(5)| T: A McCann| OR:  71| CD
7/1
Winner over C&D when landing the odds and a 16/1 shock last month following a number of pitiful efforts since October. 11lb rise may be enough to halt his progress.

(9)
Horse silk
Edificationh28
Age: 6|  Weight: 9-3| J: C P Hoban| T: M Fahey| OR:  71| CD
7/1
One from two over C&D winning last month off a 6lb lower mark when beating Stealth a head. Life more difficult under a penalty but very much a leading player here.

Reckless Ladp,t21
Age: 9|  Weight: 9-3| J: K J Leonard(3)| T: P Martin| OR:  71| BF| CD
7/1
Nine-time course winner who is one from four over C&D and last seen in a claimer earlier this month finishing second of 14 beaten ½L over the combination. Place claims back in handicap company.

11/1
Beat Reckless Lad over C&D earlier this month off a similar mark in a claimer but very much up against it here back in handicap company.

Miss Snossyboots428
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-13| J: S Foley| T: M Halford| OR:  67| BF
10/3
Has hit the frame in a couple of starts from three runs over C&D. Not seen for over 14 months but not easily dismissed on comeback for leading yard at this venue.

Horse silk
Namazeeb21
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Coen(5)| T: A Slattery| OR:  67| C
12/1
One from six at this venue with sole win coming over a shorter trip in August off a 6lb lower mark. Behind Sheisdiesel and Reckless Lad earlier this month and has plenty on his plate here.

Horse silk
Zalzarp121
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-6| J: A J Slattery(7)| T: D A McLoughlin| OR:  60
40/1
Well beaten and never nearer in two starts here since joining from the Ger Lyons yard. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Forecasts

Miss Snossyboots (10/3), Gasta (13/2), Alhajjaj (7/1), Reckless Lad (7/1), Edification (7/1), Koybig (7/1), Carried (8/1), Sheisdiesel (11/1), Namazee (12/1), Spruce Meadows (14/1), Pivotal Man (33/1), Admodum (40/1), Zalzar (40/1)

20:30 Dundalk - 22 February 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The Jim Bolger yard boast a 69% win and place strike rate at this venue in February since 2016 with the stable three from eight here in the last 30 days and their GASTA can land the spoils in the last building on a couple of above-average runs here in October. Anthony McCann has his runners in good order and Alhajjaj can emerge as the biggest danger to the selection along with C&D winner Edification and Koybig who deserve consideration.
