Tarakala can strike blow for young guns
John Oxx's charge is on a hat-trick and comes here with all the appearances of a filly rapidly on the upgrade.
She got off the mark for the campaign with a hard-earned three parts of a length defeat of Noaks Ark at Cork and then showed her appreciation of stepping up to a mile and a half for the first time at Gowran Park subsequently.
Tarakala powered clear under tonight's rider, the capable Cathy Gannon, to beat Lord Admiral unextended by three and a half lengths.
Oxx is also represented by Mkuzi, the mount of Michael Kinane, but this talented but often frustrating sort - has always looked a ten furlongs horse!
Biggest danger then looks to be Dermot Weld's Ivowen, who put up a fine performance to dead-heat with the 17lbs receiving Royal Alphabet in a competitive Curragh handicap last Sunday.
Oxx and Kinane can team up to take the Hodkinson Spar Median Auction Maiden with the once-raced Eurobound.
Despite being all sea in the testing conditions, the daughter of Southern Halo performed with distinct promise when fourth to Jemmy's Brother at Tipperary last month.
Oxx and Kinane will also be well fancied to take the Events Parking Ltd Maiden with another having only a second outing, Zafarna.
She can be expected to improve substantially for a fourth to Akarem at Leopardstown, but preference is for Dermot Weld's Lisieux Orchid.
One suspects, the daughter of Sadler's Wells has yet to show her true colours and is down in class, having finished sixth of nine to Hazarista in a Group Three at Cork last time.
At Limerick tomorrow, More Rainbows can cut down Three Mirrors in the closing stages of the Supermac's Summer Hurdle.
The selection possesses a real turn of foot, which he utilised to good effect when quickening six lengths clear of Supreme Developer at Navan.
Tony Mullins trains Three Mirrors and his Dawn Invasion is difficult to oppose in the Jockeys' Challenge Race.
The five-year-old, who has more than paid his way over flights of late, will make short work of these rivals, on the evidence of his third to Brian Boru at Leopardstown at the end of March.
Mullins could be on the mark as well with Buck Whaley, fifth to Far From Trouble at Fairyhouse, in the People In Need Telethon Bumper.
Young Vintage, outstayed by Tribal Princess at Clonmel, holds a leading chance in the Supermac's Open In Dooradoyle Mares Maiden Hurdle.
