Review dundalk 10th May

< Declarationofpeace did all that was expected of him in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden at Dundalk.

The son of War Front was third in a good Navan maiden on debut and was the red-hot 1-4 favourite to confirm that promise.

Seamie Heffernan tracked the pace on Aidan O'Brien's youngster until easing him to the front over a furlong out, and he didn't have to resort to the whip for his mount to saunter six lengths away from runner-up Treasuring

That initiated a brace for O'Brien, completed when Smoulder landed the Fundraising Made Easy At Dundalk Stadium Fillies Maiden.

The 7-4 favourite quickened to the head of affairs inside the final quarter-mile and never looked like being caught from that point, ultimately proving a length and three-quarters too good for Artistic Melody in the hands of Ana O'Brien.< Fasuba (9-4) blazed a trail in the 12th July Horse & Greyhound Racing Maiden.

Fozzy Stack's gelding was able to get the lead without too much fuss and Chris Hayes kept plenty up his sleeve for the business end of the race to come home three and a quarter lengths to the good over Elegant Emmeline Odds-on favourite Ice Canyon was only third.< Jon Ess made it fourth-time lucky with a game triumph in the Light Up Your Night At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.

The 7-2 shot followed front-runner Hailstone and while it took him a while to master that rival, he eventually got on top and prevailed by three and a quarter lengths.< Coreczka (16-1) has done all of her winning at this venue and showed her appreciation for the return to the all-weather by landing the Hen & Stag Packages At Dundalk Stadium Handicap under Hayes.< Fastidious (4-1 joint-favourite) lumped top weight to victory in the Follow Us On Twitter Handicap, while Colla Pier took the Marshes Shopping Centre Ladies Day 12th July 2017 Handicap.
