Dundalk Race 5 - BAR 1 Betting Grand National Extra Places Maiden
COUNTY CARLOW (3) Tidy effort when 2nd last time at this track and having second career run. Jockey Billy Lee and trainer Paddy Twomey link well together. Winning prospect. AMRUM (1) Career debut 3yo by Frankel for trainer Ger M Lyons. Watch the market moves. ENIAC (4) First run back from spell. Was competitive when 3rd last start at Leopardstown and can find a nice position from the draw. Don't leave out of trifectas. GRAND PREMIERE (6) Fresh today. Close to claiming the win last time at the track and fitter for debut run. The wide stall shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Good prospect for the exotics at least.

Honest race when 2nd last time here and was a debutant last start. Billy Lee and Paddy Twomey are highly regarded when paired. Should put in a decent effort.

Started $51.00 and came in 6th last time around here but having second career run. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Started at $7.00 and ran 7th last run at Curragh but was on debut last time. Likely to settle back in the field. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Jimmy G Coogan 3yo by Zoustar having first race start. The large claim from Joseph Harnett helps. Follow the money.
