Carroll aiming for more Dundalk joy

Tony Carroll sent over Innoko and Serenity Spa to complete a 20-1 double at Dundalk last week, and he brings over an even bigger team to the Polytrack this Friday.
The Worcestershire-based trainer employed the services of Pat Smullen and Joseph O'Brien for his two winners last Friday, and the latter is on board two of his four-strong team this time.
O'Brien rides Mr Lando a winner at Kempton last month, in the Dundalk Stadium On Facebook Handicap, while Shalambar looks a strong player in the concluding Fund Raising Made Easy At Dundalk Handicap.
The Dalakhani gelding bids for a 10th career victory having scored over this mile-and-a-half trip at Kempton last time. Dundalk stalwarts Minot Street and Sharjah are among the dangers in a maximum line-up of 14 runners.
Carroll saddles two runners in the Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Apprentice Handicap, and Queen Aggie appears his main hope. Conor Hoban partners the four-year-old filly who scored in good style at Wolverhampton earlier this month, and went close to following up at the same venue on Monday.
Champion apprentice Colin Keane has a strong book of rides on the evening including recent course-and-distance winner Marble Statuette in the apprentice handicap.
Keane has good prospects elsewhere on the seven-race card with Danz Gift in the DKIT Students Union Race Night Handicap, the Ger Lyons-trained Bairns At Bay in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden and the hat-trick seeking Nedera in the Christmas Party Nights At Dundalk Handicap.
