Dundalk Race 8 - Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Stadium Handicap
AIRD (5) looked impressive winning by 4.5L over course and distance last week. Represents a respected trainer in the jumps sphere. Can double up. From two flat starts PAVILION END (2) has achieved a win and a runner-up finish. Feared most. SATONO CHEVALIER (1) reappears after last racing March 2024 scoring by 0.5L tackling track and trip. Interesting. SOLAR BREEZE (3) rounds out the shortlist.
