A summer evening of high-quality, competitive action at Fairyhouse awaits mid-week racegoers and punters, the highlight is the feature Group 3 Brownstown Stakes, won last year by trainer Ger Lyons.

Lyons saddles one of today’s market principals Zarinsk, while Aidan O’Brien sends out four in the race, with son Joseph saddling the likely favourite American Sonja.

The first three home in the Group 3 last year returned at staggering prices of 14-1, 16-1, 22-1 - bravo to anyone who landed that trifecta.

WHITE CAVIAR is worth another chance despite having disappointed at the Curragh last time. Prior to that below par effort, the Joseph O'Brien-trained four-year-old had looked a very progressive filly. Indeed, on her penultimate outing, the daughter of Australia had acquitted herself with distinction when third in Listed company.

Quick ground was put forward as the cause of her lacklustre run at headquarters but with rain forecast, that is unlikely to be an issue now.

Hell Bent finished a place ahead of the O'Brien filly at the Curragh but weakened late on having raced handily. The Jessica Harrington-trained gelding has yet to convince he needs this trip.

En Or, who remains unexposed for current connections, shaped quite well at Limerick last month. It would be no surprise to see further improvement here.

AMERICAN SONJA finished behind Zarinsk when the pair met at Leopardstown in May but may be able to overturn that form at the revised weights.

The Joseph O'Brien-trained filly has since gone on to enjoy Listed success in France. It could just be that she will be more suited to dropping back to 7f than her Ger Lyons-trained rival.

Zarinsk also travelled to France for her last run, finishing fourth in a Group 2 at Chantilly.

Cigamia has to concede weight to the three-year-olds but the Willie McCreery-trained filly had some smart form last season and is entitled to improve from her recent reappearance at Navan.

Maybe Just Maybe looks to be the pick of a quartet of Aidan O'Brien-trained runners in the race.

HIGHTIMEYOUWON can record a third success since joining the Ado McGuinness stable last November. The seven-year-old is at his best when quickening off a strong gallop, something that looks almost assured here.

The son of Garswood finished runner-up to Verhoyen when the pair met at the Curragh recently but there are strong grounds for believing he can come out on top here. Aside from the revised weights, the Michael Grassick-trained winner tends to reserve his best form for the Curragh.

Course and distance maiden winner Hotrocket remains thoroughly unexposed having had just the six career runs. Joseph O'Brien's gelding made a very pleasing reappearance when winning at Gowran Park last month.
