The South Westmeath who traditionally hold their fixture at The Pigeons, will be unveiling their new track at Umma House located near Moate. They got a big entry of 133 for their initial meeting.
Brian Dunning - 4yo Mares Maiden
CAOIMHE LADY was a very promising second on debut at Oldcastle where Menindee was back in fourth and this previous outing and promising effort stands out in this contest. Wile Ell is from the family of Cousin Vinny and represents the in form Tony Mullins yard, Bonbon Balko is related to Polidam while Queen Kulina is out of a sister to Glencove Marina and these could all be smart types.
Tattersalls Ireland - 4yo Geldings Maiden
DORANS BRIDGE has been third and second on each of his two outings and could well complete the sequence here having run well at Necarne behind the very useful looking Bold Endeavour. There are a number of runners here with one recent placed run that could find the necessary improvement to step up. Ballygoe (third Toomebridge), Grozni (Second Ballingarry), Bolamore Bridge (third Tyrella), Unanswered Prayers (second Ballingarry), Garde Des Champs (second oldcastle) and Great Ocean (third Ballingarry) will ensure this will be a contest with quite an amount of depth.
Hugh Campbell Solicitor - 5yo Mares Maiden
MAD ABOUT SALLY was third on debut behind Navy Girl at Ballingarry and that winner has since won her winners races so this form stands out. Passion View makes her seasonal reappearance here and was a promising second at Oldtown last season on debut so could provide stern resistance to the selection. Scorpion Lady and Rosy Story both have placed form which give them claims here.
Homeland Agri & Farm Store Open – Novice Riders
SOME ARE LUCKY won what appeared to be a strong open at Castletown two weeks ago and could well be hard to beat here again with runner up Peacocks Secret reopposing and Samanntom may get closer than he did on that occasion having had the benefit of a run while Saint Benedict is an interesting entry here making the progression from winners level to Opens.
Sean Dunning Victuallers - 5&6yo Geldings Maiden
FIVE DOLLAR FINE was third at Lismore on debut back in March and may be the one to side with here. Loughill narrowly missed out at Toomebridge and comes here in good form while Easter In Milan was not beaten far at Necarne last time and can be expected to feature again here.
O’Roark Bros – Adjacent Hunt Winners
STAR WIZARD (pictured above) returns to action since a decent Mainstown effort in Open company which would stand out in this contest. The selection will have to overcome Save Us Avis who has the benefit of a recent run when not beaten far at Oldcastle, Cappajune Lady who was running well before unseating last time at the last and Mick Mixy who was second over hurdles off a mark of 95 in what looks a competitive affair.
