The attheraces.com Handicap is the feature at Dundalk on Friday evening and Bishan Bedi heads the six-runner field in a bid to complete a hat-trick on the Polytrack.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained gelding is a four-time winner at Dundalk having scored twice there last month and his latest success when getting up close home to beat Split The Atom has been advertised recently by the runner-up.

O'Brien's daughter Ana was seen to good effect on that occasion and again takes the mount on the five-year-old.

Michael Halford is rarely far from the winner's enclosure here and the leading all-weather trainer saddles recent course and distance winner Hat Alnasar while Ringside Humour is another to consider.

The Crowne Plaza Hotel Race & Stay Handicap has been divided to form an eight-race card and Ciankyle catches the eye in division two.

The Peter Cluskey-trained gelding was the subject of a massive plunge here last week (20-1 into 9-2) when beating all bar the favourite Skerray Rules over a mile.

This extended 10-furlongs should hold no terrors considering the five-year-old landed a two-and-a-quarter-mile handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last year.

Earlier on the card, champion jockey Pat Smullen has a number of decent rides including Primo Uomo in the Follow At The Races on Twitter Handicap.
