Dundalk Winter Series Leading Trainer & Jockey Championship Handicap (45-65) (Div 2)
1m
Going: Standard
Surface: Polytrack
Draw Advantage: NoneELLABELLA is just 3lb higher than when winning over course and distance last month, with today's different jockey now claiming 10lb, against 4lb in January. Out of a Listed-placed dam, she has progressed well on the all-weather recently and while beaten by Take My Hand is December, is 2lb better off today and is progressive. Take My Hand has been busy and is exposed but should run her usual solid race. Here's Hoping's best form is over slightly further and disappointed when favourite 47 days ago while Philly's Hope won over CD in mid-January but was well held a week later. Barretstown runs in a first-time visor while Irish Ambassador has bits of form at this level and ran well enough in first-time blinkers over 1m2f recently. Double Martini has swapped divisions from Friday's postponed meeting and is interesting on yard debut, having dropped to a career low mark but lacks a recent outing.
