14:00 – Delightful

Hard to get away from the promising trio of DELIGHTFUL, Foniska and Pink Sorrel, who all have better days ahead of them. Aidan O’Brien’s regally-bred filly could be the one to be with this time having taken a big step forward at Gowran.

14:35 – Timely Boost

Tricky stuff and one of the newcomers could prove good enough, perhaps TIMELY BOOST, who hails from a yard who have had a few shape well recently. Village Voice is interesting for Jessica Harrington, with Quick Blessing and Shangrilama a couple of the more appealing ones with experience.

15:10 – Lucky Queen

Qaabil could well be open to further improvement off this mark but the softer ground could be an issue so preference in a very competitive handicap is for recent Cork winner LUCKY QUEEN. Of the many dangers, Fastman and Take My Hand appeal most.

15:45 – LUn Deux Trois

A few with chances but L’UN DEUX TROIS returns to the level fit from hurdling and on a handy mark so can add to his Limerick success in the summer. Bolero bounced back to form when runner-up at Bellewstown last time and is feared most in first-time cheekpieces, with Roscommon-third Isaiah and C&D winner Wojood two others who need factoring into a very open handicap.

16:20 – Dark Vega

A competitive 3-y-o handicap with the vote in favour of DARK VEGA. Not for the first time Jessica Harrington’s filly shaped well, not least with a view to tackling this 1½m trip, when third at Punchestown (9f) 23 days ago and this sort of mark looks within reach. Saturn Five, Sir Allen and Zoffman are others fancied to feature.

16:55 – Buttons And Bows

BUTTONS AND BOWS was runner-up on her Flat handicap debut before scoring back hurdling at Killarney 4 days ago. Provided the race doesn’t come too soon, she could follow-up back in this sphere, with The Truant appealing as the obvious danger. Derrinlaur is also of interest.

17:25 – The Very Man

A useful performer over jumps, THE VERY MAN again shaped with promise when runner-up in this sphere at Listowel (12f) 2 weeks go, finishing well. He looks to have been found a good opportunity and earns the vote. Hermine can emerge next best, ahead of Royal Romeo.
