Rely on Rapid
It has been a case of steady improvement for the New Approach colt and he looks good enough to deliver, even if six furlongs is a trifle on the short side for him. His latest of three outings came over a mile on this track last month when going down by a length and a quarter to Levanto.
That Willie Mullins-trained filly went off a well-backed favourite and the form appears reasonably solid.
Michael Halford’s Lord Kenmare gets the vote in the Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Handicap. He has shown a liking for this track in the past and his latest effort came here in October, two and a half lengths second to Paene Magnus.
That winner has since won twice, including a Listed event here, and it is worth noting that the selection runs now of a mark 1lb below his rating last time.
