Preview listowel 21st Sep

Triumphant wasn't beaten far in the Tetrarch Stakes and reappears from a lay-off in the Guinness Handicap, the feature event on the penultimate day of the Listowel Festival.

Aidan O'Brien's colt was running for the first time in 10 months when beaten only a length and a half by Takar, so the subsequent six-month absence shouldn't be a concern for any potential supporters.

Truthwillsetufree and Fatcatinthehat are similarly unexposed three-year-olds, while Our Conor also represents the Classic generation and was beaten by the smallest of margins at the Galway Festival.

O'Brien finally got a win out of Purple a couple of weeks ago and he carries that momentum into the L.M. Carey & Company Handicap, and his stable companion Place Vendome takes on a decent prospect in the John Oxx-trained Zalantoun in the Listowel Printing Works Maiden.

Three Bells couldn't quite hold on when sent off favourite at Gowran Park but it wouldn't surprise if the money came again for him ahead of the opening John & Terry Moriarty Memorial Handicap at 1.55.

The pick of the jumping action is the Southampton Goodwill Chase, which sees Kalellshan attempting to make it four National Hunt victories on the bounce.

Last year's winner Finger Onthe Pulse is in attendance again, with Shakervilz returning to fences and Wellforth running just two days after his Kerry National exertions.

Top Madam and Dara Tango will also be having their second outings of the meeting lining up in the South West Bins Novice Hurdle, although Run With The Wind and Primroseandblue were separated by just a length at Ballinrobe back in May and will be hard to beat.

Whats Happening and The Crafty Butcher give Michael Hourigan a strong hand in the John J. Galvin Maiden Hurdle, and a host of decent prospects, headed by Willie Mullins' Shes Tensixtysix, lock horns in the John Fletcher Memorial Mates INH Flat Race.
