7:30 Dundalk (AW): Irish Stallion Farms EBF Star Appeal Stakes (Listed)

Aachen Declan McDonogh · Aidan O'Brien

Aachen filed a third last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but he's been off 48 days, is yet to win in his recent form and carries 131 lb from stall four. Rated 70 and ranked 11 of 11 on our figures, he's hard to fancy.

Duidin Nathan Crosse · Donnacha Aidan O'Brien

Duidin arrives with back-to-back wins, last time out and two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going, but a 95-day break raises fitness doubts. Our rating of 88 ranks him eighth of 11, and he carries 131 lb from stall one.

Equus Victor Ben Coen · Daniel James Murphy

Equus Victor won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but that came after a fourth and a fifth, and 131 lb off an official 90 looks a lot to carry. Our rating of 82 ranks him tenth of 11, so he is hard to fancy from stall 3.

Joga Bonito W. J. Lee · P. Twomey

Joga Bonito arrives in cracking form, runner-up last time out, a winner two starts back, and a third three starts back, and he has run over today's trip before. Our rating of 101 ranks him second of 11, but 131 lb off an official 93 is the main risk.

One Number J M Sheridan · Joseph Patrick O'Brien

One Number won two starts back and has a third and a second in his last six, but he was only seventh last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 131 lb from stall eight, his 97 rating ranks fifth of eleven, which fits a midfield profile.

Salt Lake Donagh O'Connor · Robson De Aguiar

Salt Lake arrives in good heart, winning last time out after a second two starts back, and he's fresh enough off a 15-day break while having run over today's trip. Carrying 131 lb from draw 5, he's ranked sixth of 11 on our rating, which suggests the weight could stretch him.

South Dakota W. M. Lordan · Aidan O'Brien

South Dakota won last time out and was third on each of the two starts before that, so he arrives in solid form after 32 days off, and he has run over today's trip. Carrying 131 lb from stall 11, the main risk is that the weight leaves him little margin against his rivals.

Zoar Gavin Ryan · Donnacha Aidan O'Brien

Zoar's recent form reads well, with a third last time out, a win two starts back and a second three starts back, and he has run over today's trip. However, our rating of 84 ranks him ninth of 11, and carrying 131 lb off an official mark of 89 makes him hard to fancy.

Dee's Funny Girl Oisin Orr · Donnacha Aidan O'Brien

Dee's Funny Girl showed she can win with a victory four starts back and a second two runs ago, and she has run over today's trip before. Our top-rated runner at 103 is the one to beat, though a sixth last time out and 40 days off are small reservations from draw 9.

Fighting Tears G. F. Carroll · A Oliver

Fighting Tears followed a win two starts back with a sixth last time out just 11 days ago, so she's fit and has run over today's trip. Carrying 126 lb from stall 10, she looks a midfield sort, ranked seventh of 11 on our rating.

Nicely Rowan Scott · Kevin Philippart de Foy

Nicely has two wins in her last five starts, including a victory two starts back, and she returned a fourth last time out, while having run over today's trip before. Our rating of 98 backs her as a leading danger, though the main risk is that she hasn't won since that effort.
