Race Preview

Pliny is taken to land this competitive 1m handicap at Dundalk following a promising runner-up effort in a claimer over 7f here earlier this month. Colin Keane retains the ride and the extra furlong looks likely to suit, particularly given the way he finished his race last time.

Iff In Doubt is an obvious danger after winning over 7f and shaping well on this surface. A 5lb rise demands more, but the consistency shown so far suggests he should remain competitive in this grade.

Brave Approach is another to consider after springing a surprise over course and distance last week. That front-running success showed a new level of form and if able to dictate again, he could prove dangerous despite the quick turnaround.

Dawn Flame is worth another look back at this trip having failed to stay further last time. His earlier C&D win reads well in this context and he could bounce back with a stronger showing.

Of the remainder, Personified is unexposed entering handicaps and could improve, while Ramair and Kactus Jack may find a few too strong based on current evidence.

Final Selection

⭐ Pliny – Looks ready to strike over this trip and has strong claims with Colin Keane booked.
