Dundalk Race 5 - William Hill Top Price Guarantee Handicap
FORTUNA VERA (3) makes handicap debut after a narrow neck maiden victory second-up over 1400m. Slight rise in trip won't harm his chances and is weighted nicely. Leading contender. LOST PRESIDENT (6) may replicate a 0.75L course and distance success 13 days ago. Nicely drawn and will be competitive. GRAN HABANO (2) attempts further following a 1.25L third at this venue in latest. Place claims. IOWNTHEBALL (1) races for the first time on this surface. Shortlist.
