The David Griffiths-trained Take Cover bounced back from a below par run in the Abbaye at Longchamp last time when landing the listed Mercury Stakes in Dundalk last night.

Dundalk is the focus for Irish racegoers this evening, and Peleponnesus can get punters off to a flyer by taking the six-furlong maiden for Reggie Roberts.

An Easter Monday assignment in Cork is next on the agenda for David Marnane’s much-travelled stable star Jamesie and a successful outing could spell a trip to Singapore for the KrisFlyer Sprint.

Aidan O’Brien and his son, Joseph, warmed up for Australia in the Irish Derby at the Curragh tomorrow when combining to land the 12 furlongs plus Maiden at Tipperary last night with Granddukeoftuscany.
