No club runners on Saturday. It’s a limited graded card to accomodate the St Leger heats. Good luck to kennel representatives, and club member owned,  Mwebe Hilda and Ballymac Soul in the Grade One stayers event.

Attention focuses on Friday’s card for club runners.  Oscar (Lima Oscar), following his final stride victory last time out, has another crack at A3 level in the 8.00pm. It’s a pretty wide open contest and Oscar would have some sort of chance with a clear round.

Wendy (Hanover Lady) also contests an A3 grade later in the evening at 930pm. Berthed in two she may still get the better of the inside runners to the first bend and has to be considered as a leading contender in the race.

Norah had second thoughts over Woody (Fleetwood Rocker) having a hurdles trial on Wednesday. He will have a 480m spin on the level and a couple of flat races before re-commencing over hurdles.
