Preview ballinrobe 15th Jun
Plenty of runners make up a bumper eight-race mixed card at Ballinrobe and the Derrinstown Stud Apprentice Handicap kicks off proceedings at 5.20.
American Princess attempts a quickfire hat-trick, having racked up a Clonmel double, and the handicapper hasn't been overly harsh in raising her by 6lb. Vaporetto ran well enough for fourth at Fairyhouse and is one of only a handful of obvious dangers on paper.
Captain Henry is edging slowly towards his first success and Edward Lynam appears to have spotted a good opportunity for him in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden.
His Gowran second to Coat Of Arms represents the best form on offer, but it wouldn't be the biggest surprise if Signore Momento improved from his satisfactory Killarney debut.
Coral Creek bids to supplement her recent course and distance win in the Mayo Advertiser Claiming Race but, on official figures, she has a little to find with All About Timing and Fleeting Moment.
Almanyan is another arriving on the back of a victory and goes to post for the McHale Engineering Handicap, although he isn't the most reliable.
He may not be able to confirm his superiority over Tramore runner-up Lus Na Hoiche, while in-form four-year-old Zarkozy also presents a stiff test.
There are some smart prospects on show over jumps, not least Coffee Tea Or Me, who embarks on his fencing career in the Martin Tyrrell Auctioneers Tuam & Headfort Beginners Chase.
A Grade Three runner-up over timber, he gets the invaluable four-year-old allowance and that should prove enough to account for another chasing newcomer in Top Mark, as well as Dermot Weld's Noble Crusader.
Hollow Ranger only got as far as the fifth at Wexford but compensation awaits in the Rendezvouz Bar Balla Handicap Chase, while surprise Cork runner-up Dashing Ruby has a 4lb hike to contend with in the McCoy's Bar & Restaurant Handicap Hurdle.
