Assassin can hit target

PUNTERS can get off to a flyer by supporting Dark Assassin in heat one of the Andy Kelleher Irish Life Stakes at Curraheen Park tonight.

The selection shaped with plenty of promise in the ultra-competitive Diarmuid Coffey Unraced Stake at Youghal last month, finishing a five and a half lengths third behind Show King in 29.27 in the decider.

Dark Assassin has his sights lowered here and can gain a deserved success.
