Kaftan was a narrow winner on her seasonal bow and she will face four rivals as she tries to supplement that success in Ballyduane Stud Fillies Race at Limerick today.

Trained by Ger Lyons for Khalid Abdullah, Kaftan finished fourth to Happen on her only juvenile outing and improved on that when scoring a neck victory at Naas last month.

Each of her rivals also won last time out, with Aurora Moon triumphing by six and a half lengths at Tipperary for Michael O’Callaghan, while Morpho was successful at Leopardstown for Jessica Harrington.

Joseph O’Brien’s Snapraeceps triumphed at Gowran, with Come September making her debut for Gavin Cromwell having won for Willie McCreery earlier this month. Yuften looks the one to be on at the weights in the Book Online At www.limerickraces.ie Claiming Race, and Heaven On Earth catches the eye among three Aidan O’Brien-trained runners in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden.

A full-sister to multiple Group One winner Minding, Heaven On Earth is joined by Four Leaf Clover who is related to Flag Of Honour among others, and At Last a Galileo half-sister to Australian supersire Zoustar. Tintoretto heads the weights for the Croome House Stud Handicap, with 10 going to post in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden over seven furlongs.
