COLM O'DONOGHUE has already struck a number of times this season in black type races on Aidan O'Brien-trained horses and One Great Cat can continue that streak in tonight's Leopardstown feature.

A total of eight line up for the Listed Nijinsky Stakes and O'Brien is wasting no time with One Great Cat who won a conditions race at Navan just last Friday.

That was his first start since finishing out of the money in the French 2,000 Guineas and the 103 rated Storm Cat colt gets a significant 16lb this evening from the Group Three winners Ferneley and Jumbajukiba.

Pat Smullen is another jockey who can look forward to a good evening with April coming to the opening maiden on the back of a fine debut over the course and distance behind Heart Of Fire.
