17:30 Buttons

Practically no form to go on so the percentage call is the Ballydoyle pick BUTTONS, with Shardam and Serious Notions the two most likely to follow the selection home.

Considering she had not run since last August, HELPMEOUT (nap) performed well when fourth at the Curragh recently. She has won twice over C&D and may account for two of her Curragh opponents, third-placed Jaafel, and Eloquent Arthur who took fifth. Others to consider are Chavajod and Fastman, winner and second over C&D just under three weeks ago, and Dagoda, a maiden who went close at Cork last time.

18:30 Moon De Vega

A decisive winner on her first start for Paddy Twomey recently, MOON DE VEGA can land a valuable black-type win for connections here. Kerkiya looks like a major threat, while the sole 3yo in the field Salt Lake City could well have improvement to come and has to be respected.

19:00 Coeur D’Or

This could boil down to a rematch of a recent Curragh race. Runner-up COEUR D’OR may turn the tables on the winner Sirjack Thomas. Also capable of getting seriously involved are Independent Expert and Malabu Drive.

19:30 New Variant

A commanding winner at Naas last month, NEW VARIANT looks a much improved performer and could prove the one to beat here if handling this fast ground. Amusement would have won easier but for her rider losing his irons here last month and faces a much stiffer task on paper but could go well in a race in which none of the five runners can be ruled out.

20:00 Last Ammo

The extra furlong should help LAST AMMO who was staying on in the closing stages when third at Roscommon last week. Lorna Fowler had a winner over jumps at Listowel on Monday and could go close with French recruit Agenda who can improve from her Irish debut at Roscommon. Theophilos is on the upgrade but has to cope with an aggregate 15lb rise for his last two runs.

20:30 Summer Snow

Cork 7f winner SUMMER SNOW may prove even more effective over the extra furlong and can uphold form with runner-up Angel’s Feather. Penalised Listowel winner Drop The Dip and last week’s Roscommon third Cherry Pink should also be in the mix.
