Timeform Irish SmartPlays: Friday November 27

Bittern - 18:35 Dundalk

Bittern hasn't been long with the Emmet Mullins yard but has already shown the benefit, almost causing an upset on her second start for the stable over C&D three weeks ago. She can go one better this evening from just a 2-lb higher mark. Hat-trick seeker Stronger Than Me is an obvious threat, ahead of six-time course winner Sharjah.

Empresario - 19:05 Dundalk

Empresario has been running over fences of late and doing well, recording a win at the Galway Festival since last seen on the Flat. He has a relatively low mark on the level and can be expected to take advantage. Both Havelock Ellis and Artiste Celebre finished second last time and are expected to be thereabouts again.

Shukhov - 19:35 Dundalk

Shukhov was rated 80 around a year ago, so it tells of his struggles since that he runs here off 47. There were signs of a recovery last time and, with cheekpieces re-applied, he can get the better of the re-opposing Solar Benny on revised terms. Recent C&D winner Honor Oak should also go well.
