WELCOME TO PADDY POWER NEWS!

14:00 – American Sonja

 Ballydoyle’s newcomer Beginnings, a daughter of the top-class Winter, demands respect, but previous experience could prove key here. Spirit Gal seems sure to make a bold bid from the front again but preference is for AMERICAN SONJA who shaped like a future winner, despite running green, at the Curragh. One For Mum can be expected to improve from her C&D debut run last month.

14:35 – Hispanic

Not the strongest looking of maidens for this venue and perhaps ripe for a newcomer. HISPANIC lacks any high-profile entries but the son of No Nay Never could be good enough to make a winning debut, with the Kingman colt Pier Pressure a likely danger, although the market could prove the best guide to their respective chances. Mount Ruapehu will make it a true test from the front. 

15:10 – Miami Girl (NAP)

British stables dominated the valuable sales race at the Curragh on Sunday, and it could be the same story now. If reproducing the form of her Queen Mary fifth MIAMI GIRL (nap) should be too good for the likes of Felix Natalis, Minnesota Lad and Signora Camacho. Polar Bear probably offers the best chance of a home win, though Not Forgotten looked potentially useful in a recent barrier trial at Dundalk. 

15:45 – Sioux Sweet

Well clear of the third when runner-up over C&D in her first nursery, SIOUX SWEET may be good enough to provide Denis Hogan with a rare win in this age group. Drunk In Love comes from an in-form stable and has kept good company. Little Keilee, Pretty Persuasion and Sam’s Xpress may fight out the minor placings.

16:20 – Malbay Madness

The medium of an inspired gamble at Killarney in his first handicap MALBAY MADNESS may continue to improve and gets the vote to uphold form with Approaching Bear and Slaney Tide. Hasten Slowly and Ard Mhaca are possibly the pick of the remainder, with Mucky Mulconry feared as a potential dark horse.

16:55 – Encosta

Betterdaysrcoming sets the standard but hasn’t look straightforward on occasions and is taken on here with ENCOSTA, who stayed on nicely behind a better-fancied stablemate over this trip at Leopardstown and should come on plenty. San Anton rates a big danger on his best form, while Catherine Of Siena would if she stays.

17:25 – Peking Opera

Ballydoyle run a pair of Galileo colts, PEKING OPERA marginally preferred, on account of the selection holding a Vertem Futurity entry, to Farnborough, although the market should give greater clarity to their respective chances. In a field of newcomers, others to consider include Navalny and Rerkha.
