FormscanBy Michael Graham - TONKINESE has the highest official rating in this claimer and has plenty going for him. He was a fair fifth in a better race over course and distance last month, has a lovely low draw and Mikey Sheehy claims a valuable 7lb from his back. Itsalonglongroad stayed on well to win a claimer over an extended 10 furlongs on his last visit to Dundalk, but it is worth noting that 12 previous attempts at this trip on the Polytrack haven't yielded any victories. Royal Admiral faces a tough task at these weights but is perfectly capable of picking up prize money. Swift Wing's first start for James McAuley saw him finish third behind Itsalonglongroad after doing his best work at the finish. He is an unexposed sort who showed some useful placed form in Britain for John Gosden and Tom Lacey, however, he would need to bounce back from a below-par run in eighth at this track on Monday when lit up early.
