Race 1 - Tattersalls NH & Coolmore Stud 4yo Mares Maiden
Eight of the 15 entries here are newcomers and they may offer the most interest in this. Denis Murphy could be doubly represented having won a similar event at Stowlin last Sunday in good style, whilst KITS COTY stands out with a price tag of E48,000 for the store sales.
Race 2 - Goffs UK Spring Sale 4yo Geldings Maiden
The Colin Bowe team have really hit top gear with their four-year-old maiden runners in recent weeks, notching up three winners in the division alone last weekend and so his TROOPER THORN will certainly have lots of appeal. He finished a fine third at Dromahane on his debut and has the potential to go two places better in this. Stable mate Lunar Contact also made the placings on debut, with Minella Double like to have enjoyed a similar introduction but for falling at the last in Dromahane and he will be out to make amends.
Race 3 - McCarthy Insurance Group 5yo Geldings Maiden
NEBLIN chased home two more experienced types on his debut at Loughanmore on Easter Saturday and could be the one to side with here as that debut effort should certainly stand to him. Both Real Rewards and Hills Of Glory could be turned out for the second Sunday in succession having REAL REWARDS could be turned out for the second Sunday in a row after running at Dromahane and both are entitled to hold claims in this alongside Imperial Alex and Raffles Wonder.
Race 4 - Anthony & Associates Agri Consultants 5yo+ Mares Maiden
A case can be made to suggest that IMPERIAL LOUGH would have got her head in front at Stowlin last Sunday but for a final-fence error which cost her all momentum. She has now been narrowly denied in each of her last two starts and would be a deserving winner. Talkingthetalk could be set for a similarly quick turnaround after she bounced back to form at Dromahane last Sunday, whilst Villanesque, Thefillynextdoor and Conors Gift are others with genuine claims.
Race 5 - Liam Walsh and Associates Mares Winner Of One
The two horses that Paul Pierce sent out last weekend both returned victorious and NOPLACETOBE could continue the stables good fortunes of late following her maiden success at Quakerstown over the Easter weekend. Some Woman represents a similar in-form stable and she has built up a wealth of experience which will allow her to make an immediate impact in this company having only won her maiden at Largy last weekend, whilst Inclusion and the unfortunate Mangan Sue are others that cannot be discounted in a competitive heat.
Race 6 - Glenview Stud & Denis Barry, Bartlemy 5yo+Confined Maiden
SAMOS ISLAND has not been seen since disappointing at Kildorrery in November, but if he was to bounce back to the form which had seen him finish second at Curraghmore before then, it would be hard to see him not making a breakthrough here. Community Rebel is another horse on a retrieval mission after he finished tailed off at Dromahane recently. His Ballynoe run would certainly see him enter the mix alongside Rwegoinhigh.
