14:00 Dundalk - The Highway Rat @ 5/1

The 5f handicap at Dundalk looks an outstanding chance for The Highway Rat to add a fifth victory over course and distance to his CV.

This likeable eight-year-old is better on the all-weather and arrives in red-hot form after two excellent efforts on turf.

My selection is just 2-21 on the grass, but a commendable 5-14 on the sand and he was unlucky not to get the job done under an apprentice at Navan last time out.

Billy Lee is one of the best jockeys in the Irish weighing room and is back aboard The Highway Rat for the first time since October. 

Lee has partnered the gelding for his past three successes and the Andy Oliver-trained speedball is ready to strike off a winnable mark of 99. 

15:10 Dundalk - Krasimir @ 11/8

Ger Lyons is enjoying a purple patch, with three winners from his past seven runners, and Krasimir is strongly fancied to add to the trainer's recent haul in the mile maiden later at Dundalk.

Krasimir comes out top on both Racing Post Ratings and official ratings in this contest, and this is weaker than the 15-runner maiden he was beaten half a length in 18 days ago, a race in which he responded well to first-time blinkers which are reapplied here. 

The son of Mehmas shouldn't have any worries about the all-weather and he's taken a nice leap forward on RPRs with every run this term.

Having run to 89 by that metric on his previous outing, he's already good enough to win a race of this nature.

This looks like a smart piece of placing, with the excellent Colin Keane on board the gelding for the first time this campaign.  

15:25 Deauville - Rayif @ 2/1

The Prix Jean Prat at Deauville is the best race of the day and Rayif is expected to land another Group 1 for Francis Graffard.

Rayif plundered May's Poule d'Essai des Poulains on his return, a fine effort given Graffard expressed his reservations about testing ground beforehand.

He was expected to build on whatever he did in the Poulains and bypassing a St James's Palace dust-up with the brilliant Bow Echo may prove a blessing in disguise.

Rayif is a half-brother to Graffard's top-class sprinter Rayevka and will not be inconvenienced by dropping back in distance and encountering a faster surface in the Jean Prat. 

Gutsy and classy 1,000 Guineas winner True Love is the obvious danger, but we know her level and she holds few secrets now.

By contrast, Rayif gives the impression he can come into his own in the second half of the season.
