Tribal Path and Geological give Damian English a strong hand in the Anglo Printers Handicap at Dundalk on Friday night.

Tribal Path enjoyed an excellent 2016 but hasn't been seen since running down the field in a Listed heat at the Curragh in October, whereas his stable companion has been on the go through the winter, proving his stamina for this mile to win here before filling the runner-up berth when dropped to six furlongs.

Poetic Choice didn't stay a mile and a quarter but showed her appreciation for the drop in trip to go close over course and distance a fortnight ago and heads the list of dangers to the English pair.

Zinat was a fine second on her introduction recently and attempts to go one better in the Elusive Pimpernel Fillies Maiden.

Unless Dermot Weld's newcomer Katouna, who also carries the Aga Khan's colours, is anything out of the ordinary, a repeat of that performance should see Michael Halford's three-year-old going one better.

Jon Ess also went close on his recent debut and sets the standard in the Elusive Pimpernel Median Auction Maiden.

This is a bit more competitive than the fillies' race, with Power Of Ten and Loose Chippings lively threats.

War Goddess justified favouritism to break through a couple of weeks ago and Joseph O'Brien turns her out again off a 5lb higher mark for the Monasterboice Inn Apprentice Handicap.

Her stablemate Ligeti makes an even quicker return to action, having got off the mark just last week, and he is up 8lb for the Ready Mixed Concrete Handicap (Div 1), while O'Brien is also responsible for top-weight Sea Of Blue in the second division.

The Esther McGahon, McGuinness & Co. Solicitors, Dundalk Claiming Race kicks the eight-race card off at 5.30 and is a good opportunity for Chestnut Fire to regain the winning thread.
