Evening a.w. racing at Dundalk and Wolverhampton

There is also racing under floodlights on the all-weather this evening at Dundalk and Wolverhampton, with the Irish track having by far the better card. The listed race there over 10 1/2 furlongs at 21.40 has attracte 14 runners, including two from Aidan O´Brien - Zulu Chief, the choice of stable jockey Johnny Murtagh, and King of Westphalia (Seamus Heffernan). The much-improved Fiery Lad (Ger Lyons/ Keagan Latham), who has won 4 f his last 5 races here, all over this trip, is an obvious danger, although he is moving up in grade, while consistent Mr. Medici (Kevin Prendergast/ Chris Hayes) also has chances.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Aspectoflove - Douze Points - Sapphire Spray
2.Race: Calm Bay - Dreams Forever - Cool Tarifa
3.Race: Excellent Girl - Aadaat - Excelente
4.Race: Appraise - Call Me Al - The Brothers
5.Race: Cassique Lady - Fiery Lad - Zulu Chief
6.Race: Via Galilei - Lunduv - Stairway To Glory
7.Race: Dodder Walk - Dbest - Accompanist



Two likely short-priced favourites from big Newmarket stables who could oblige at Wolverhampton are Standpoint (Sir Michael Stoute/ Jamie Spencer) in the 2yo maiden at 20.20, and Reine de Violette (Henry Cecil/ Tom Queally) in the maiden for older horses over the same distance half an hour later.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Welcome Approach - Billy Red - Casela Park
2.Race: Bundle Up - Crispian - River Kent
3.Race: Standpoint - Statute Book - Caerus
4.Race: Reine De Violette - El Fuser - Moscow Oznick
5.Race: Kingsholm - Franksalot - Ready To Crown
