RACING:A TOTAL OF seven runners will take on Dawn Approach as he makes his eagerly-awaited return to action in tomorrow's Goffs Vincent O'Brien Stakes.

Jim Bolger’s charge has not run since claiming the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot but is already among the leading contenders for next year’s Classics.

Bolger has a second string to his bow in Leitir Mor, who was a Group Three winner at the Curragh last Sunday.

Aidan O’Brien fields three in opposition with Cristoforo Colombo, Flying The Flag and Nevis all declared for the race better know as the National Stakes.

Mick Channon’s Ayaar is the sole British-trained challenger after winning a German Group Three last time. David Wachman’s Railway Stakes-winner Probably and Pat Flynn’s Designs On Rome complete the field.

Ruby Walsh is hoping to be back in action at Listowel on Sunday. The rider broke his ankle when falling from Drive Time in the Galway Hurdle at the Festival meeting in August.

Walsh has been on the sidelines since then but after receiving medical clearance he is aiming to be back in the saddle at the weekend.

He tweeted: “(I’m) progressing well, been riding out last few days and got all clear from surgeon today. Hope to ride Sunday in Listowel.”
