THE Joe Dunne Memorial Puppy Stake will be run as a 24 dog event at Shelbourne but the traditional early season classic trial has plenty of quality and the four heats when added to the semi-finals of the Tyrur McGuigan Open 575 will make Saturday’s card at headquarters another high class affair.

While Milldean Panther’s performance in the final of the Razldazl George 525 final at Shelbourne on Saturday will attract most attention, the major event is the Red Mills Masters which reaches the semi-final stage at Kilcohan Park.

THE highly progressive Newlawn Tock produced a proper performance to take the final of the Ladbrokes.com Irish Derby Trial Stake at Curraheen Park on Saturday night.
