Preview killarney 26th Aug
The good prize on offer in Killarney's Batty O'Sullivan Haulage Handicap Hurdle has enticed a decent field, headed by Tony Mullins' Galway Festival winner Clarach, who has since filled the runner-up berth on the level.< Alderwood cut little ice in the Galway Hurdle but now renews rivalry with Akinspirit, who chased him home over this course and distance last month.
Coscorrig and Dancing Tornado revert to the smaller obstacles but the latter has a welter burden to contend with, whereas Life Of Reilly sits dangerously on 10st and got off the mark at Tipperary when last seen.
Blossom Gate enhanced her reputation with a faultless display in a bumper at Galway - a performance John Kiely deemed good enough to try her in the KWD Recycling (QR) Race.
But classy jumper Luska Lad is in opposition, as is Galileo's Choice, who formed part of Dermot Weld's record-breaking week at Ballybrit.
Catch The Eye also helped the master of Rosewell to 17 winners at the Festival and now tackles the Seamus Weldon www.mowers.ie Race, in which Baitsileir and Puttore also bring winning form to the table, with Aidan O'Brien dropping Last Crusade's sights after he undertook pacemaking duties in much better company.
The champion trainer is responsible for Fort Sam Houston in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF (C & G) Maiden, which gets the fixture under way at 4.30.
The son of Dylan Thomas finished third behind his highly-regarded stable companion Camelot at Leopardstown and holds the obligatory plethora of big-race engagements.
Advenio has offered several glimmers of promise during her three-race career to date and Jim Bolger switches her from maiden company in the O'Keeffe O'Shea O'Connor Solicitors Handicap.
Bolger's Casimir Road also makes her handicap debut, but has last-start scorers Foildearg and Long Wait to face in the Ross Golf Club/Killarney Racegoers Club Handicap.
