Racing in the UK might be cancelled until the end of April but Ireland are keeping the show on the road with a tasty looking eight-race card at Dundalk from 13:30.

Trainerto watch
There’s nodoubt who’s top dog at Dundalk this season amongst the training ranks! Look nofurther than the young master Joseph O’Brien, who has notched up 14 winnersfrom 63 winners at the track in 2010.
Joseph runs five on the card this Friday and his best chance look to be Juliet Rose in the 15:00. She took a big step forward on her latest start here when she was run down in the closing stages and this race looks like a good opportunity for her to shed her maiden tag.
Horse towatch
Aerclub will have the combined might of the young O’Brien brothers to contend with in the 14:00 – as Joseph runs Line Judge and Donnacha runs Flower Garland against him.
Aerclublooked promising when causing a surprise here over course and distance on hisdebut and he can notch another win for his trainer Henry de Bromhead.
