The action is at Naas this evening where the strength in depth of the Ballydoyle fillies can come to the fore again courtesy of Love Me True in the six furlong maiden.

The Kingmambo filly ran a very decent third to Longueville Legend at Cork on Saturday and that piece of current form looks to give her an edge over Button Down and the 94 rated Dr Dignity.

Fran Berry is on the 16 winner mark for the flat season but the dual-purpose rider can score a double with the Down Royal winner River Days in the opener and American Gothic in the last.

The novice hurdle is intriguing but trappy and maybe Petersham will offer a touch of value while Sandford Park's head second to Hidden Dragon at the Curragh means he will be well supported to finally get off the mark in the auction maiden.
