Dundalk (AW) 7:00 Result

Top-weight on OR 58 but that's earned via a recent 3rd (097036) and he's clearly progressive, running well fresh 7 days ago. W.J. Lee takes the ride, a strong booking suggesting stable confidence. Weight of 142lbs is a slight concern in a big 17-runner field, but his class edge (10+ OR points clear of most rivals) and recent solid form make him the most reliable contender in a race full of moderate, inconsistent types. Beat The Devil (56 OR, same yard, Colin Keane up) is the obvious market rival and ran creditably last time (250609), but his overall form line is patchier and headgear (ht) first-time adds uncertainty. Storm Eric has decent recent placed form (423282) and is respected for a place. Many others carry poor recent form (0's and dashes) and look up against it on ability. Usuario Amigo's class edge and jockey booking give him the best combination of proven ability and market confidence in a wide-open, moderate-grade handicap.
