19:00 Dundalk - 3 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

FEMME BEAUTY looks favourably treated on her peak efforts and might be worth chancing to bounce back from a lesser run last time with Billy Lee taking the reins now. Darwin's Angel enters the reckoning for last year's winning stable. Sovereign Thought is respected as a last-time-out winner, while Tiyadal may do better in handicaps for Johnny Murtagh.
