Sandra Louise, successful at the last meeting here, returns to Kilbeggan this evening for the Tyrrellspass Handicap Hurdle and she may provide her amateur rider partner, Anthony Ross, with the seventh success of his career.
A winner at Down Royal in May, Sandra Louise went to the front two out and recovered from a last hurdle mistake to hold the fast-finishing Innovative.
The Galway winner, Fane Path, and My Blue, a winner of his maiden here, are two useful rivals, but they may find it difficult to concede the weight to Sandra Louise.
Following that good run behind Sandra Louise, Innovative reverts to three miles in the Clara Handicap Hurdle and he would not be winning out of turn for his Newcastle, Co Dublin trainer Shay O'Hehir.
A series of mistakes by the odd-on favourite Solvang at Galway meant that Linda's Boy task was much simplified but it was still a decent effort. The seven-year-old, although he has to concede weight all round in the Joe Cooney Memorial Handicap Chase, is hard to oppose.
Norman Cassisy does extremely well with his small string and his An Bonnan Bui, a Down Royal bumpers winner, makes her jumping debut in the Dysart Maiden Hurdle and is preferred to Celticcaro.
Having lost his place before the straight in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel, Parsee rallied to such effect that she was beaten just over a length by Hidden Spring and Bicycle Thief. But for a mistake at the second last she must have gone close to snatching the prize. Dunemer, who tried to lead throughout at Bellewstown until caught by the eventual winner, Alambar between the last two, is a clear danger.
Allatrim a staying third over hurdles at to Frau Dante over hurdles at Glaway, may be the answer in the Michael Moore Beginners Chase, while Kopain can continue the recent good run of the Pat Flynn stable by taking the bumper.
Tomorrow's meeting at Wexford has been given the go-ahead after an inspection at 3.30 yesterday. Recent heavy rainfall had put the fixture in jeopardy but the course's managing director, Michael Murphy, reported yesterday: "We are fine - there are no problems and racing goes ahead. The official going is soft.
"We have had no rain since 6 a.m. today. There are a few showers forecast but nothing serious."
