Foreign Seas looks poised to complete hat-trick

Noel Meade's gelding is very much on a roll and this look another suitable opportunity.

He struck form at Down Royal when taking a moderate beginners chase by five lengths and then contested a handicap at Punchestown.

The nine-year-old put up a gutsy display to beat The Penitent Man by a length and a half and can make light of a 17lbs rise in the weights for his two victories.

Tony McCoy makes the journey to partner Anxious Moments in the John Joseph Burke Memorial Hurdle and Charlie Swan's veteran gets the nod, in a tricky looking event.

The 11-year-old showed he remains in good shape, however, when runner-up behind Pacolet in a two mile flat race at Clonmel earlier in the month.

At Naas today, the Jim Bolger trained Finsceal Beo is a hopeful choice to land the Group Three Swordlestown Stud Sprint Stakes.

She was well touted prior to her debut at Leopardstown and a made a solid start when beating Yario by three parts of a length.

Moon Unit, winner of the race last year and second to Moss Vale in a Group Three at the Curragh last time, can again land the Naas Sprint Stakes.

There are indications David Wachman's charges are about to strike and his Paris Winds, third to Tamazug at the Curragh in April, can take the Irish Stallion Farms' EBF Fillies Maiden.
