O'Brien colt one to note in Dundalk

Aidan O'Brien's Declarationofpeace should be very hard to beat in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden that gets Dundalk under way on Wednesday evening.

The War Front colt came in third on debut at Navan last month when sent off favourite. Romanised, the winner of what could yet prove to be a very hot maiden, is being aimed at the Coventry Stakes.

With that experience under his belt, Declarationofpeace looks the part.

Michael Halford has long been the trainer to follow on the Polytrack and his Ice Canyon looks worthy of support in the 12th July Horse & Greyhound Racing Maiden.

He appears ready to get off the mark after five placed efforts as a juvenile.

The hat-trick-seeking Burn The Boats is sure to be popular for the Hen & Stag Packages At Dundalk Stadium Handicap, but he has to defy a 9lb hike in the weights.

Dermot Weld's Light Laughter catches the eye in the Fundraising Made Easy At Dundalk Stadium Fillies Maiden.

She wasn't beaten far by the very smart Hydrangea when last seen in August at the Curragh.

Georgios Pakidis speaks highly of Our Max's ability, so he has a chance off a mark of 50 in the Follow Us On Twitter Handicap over seven furlongs.

Hailstone was mightily impressive in Limerick which gives him good prospects of following up in the Light Up Your Night At Dundalk Stadium Handicap.

Pirolo has plenty of stamina which will come into play in the Marshes Shopping Centre Ladies Day 12th July 2017 Handicap over two miles.
