There is something to suit all tastes at Limerick, where the highlight of an eight-race card is the Camembert Quartet Play Live 23rd July Race.
Peter Tchaikovsky returns to action in the one-mile contest and should relish the drop in class having struggled in Pattern company last year, but this is a tough race, and Apt's fitness could tell.
David Wachman's charge looked a massively improved filly when scoring at Cork and could continue in a winning vein, though Duaisbhanna and Samba School are others worthy of note.
Favourite-backers got their fingers burned when Drombeg Dawn could only manage second place at Fairyhouse, but she could atone for that in the opening www.limerickraces.ie Handicap at 2.25.
The Orpen filly won over course and distance in April and could have enough to hold off Tipperary third No Trimmings and the improving Ain Jalout.
Sian Thomas may relish the return to the Flat for the Adare Handicap after falling in a beginners chase last time.
The eight-year-old won at Tramore in May and could defy a 5lb rise, while the main challenge could come from serial second-place finishers Luttrell Lady and Misty Island.
Best Of The Lot has run with real credit in Britain on his last two starts and could prove the pick of the bunch in the Patrickswell Community Council Handicap Chase.
Killininney will be out to make amends for unseating last time in the first division of the Twilight Racing Beginners Chase, while the second division could be between a pair of horses who took second place last time, Kong and Schindler's Gold.
Sligo plays host to a seven-race card, with the valuable Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Hurdle the highlight. It looks an ideal opportunity for Gonebeyondrecall to follow up his emphatic victory at Aintree last month.
