2:32 – View Restaurant At Dundalk Stadium Maiden – SPRING IS HERE @ 5/4

Joseph O’Brien’s SPRING IS HERE returns from a break in the opener and while that absence may play against her it’s not going to take much doing to land a race of this nature.

The Starspangledbanner filly plied her trade in deeper contests on the turf last summer, fourth in a strong Listed affair at the Curragh in May that featured two Group 1 winners in True Love, who featured on the 2025 European 2yo rankings and Power Blue as well as Group 3 scorer Lady Iman.

Her second effort behind Rogue Legend and Howd’yadoit wasn’t bad and she’s been off since disappointing at Tipperary in July. She’s a full-sister to two-year-old Group 3 winner Castle Star and this 88-rated challenger is clear on figures by quite a distance.

O’Brien will no doubt leave a bit to work on but she should prove a tough nut to crack in maiden company and gets a confident vote.

4:02 – Dundalk Winter Series Leading Trainer & Jockey Championship Handicap – ALFRED TENNYSON @ 8/1 E/W

One may suspect a prize like this has been the targeted plan for the T&M Partnership since buying ALFRED TENNYSON from the hands of Coolmore.

He was purchased for just 10,000gns in October and finished eighth of 14 on his first run for new trainer Denis Hogan earlier this month, a fine sighter that should tee him up nicely here.

The son of Starspangledbanner wore blinkers on his only win for Aidan O’Brien at Limerick last June and after headgear was left off nearly three weeks ago, a first-time tongue strap is now fitted.

There’s every reason to believe he’s better than a mark of 82, running to an RPR of 89 when winning and there’s plenty of scope to improve after being gelded.

The four-year-old is worth a tentative each-way nod in a competitive heat.

4:32 – Book Online at dundalkstadium.com Maiden – PORTER @ 8/1 E/W

This 15-runner maiden is another with chances everywhere you look but O’Brien’s PORTER could be the safest each-way play.

The well-bred colt by Too Darn Hot, who cost €135,000 as a yearling, ran with some credit in a decent race at this venue before Christmas.

He was slowly away and no doubt needed every bit of that experience under his belt. The three-year-old is entitled to huge improvement on his second start and he’s the choice of Declan McDonogh who passed up the ride on 78-rated stablemate Arrietty.

Going up in trip should see him in a better light with stamina on his damside and it’d be no surprise to see him make a bold bid.
