Gem can sparkle

DERMOT WELD, fresh from a brilliant success with Rite Of Passage in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot yesterday, can supply the solution to the Listed Martin Molony Stakes with Precious Gem at Limerick tonight.

The daughter of Sadler’s Wells was useful last season, but there are solid reasons for thinking she may have improved significantly from three to four.

That is the conclusion to be drawn from her decent effort in a handicap at Leopardstown in May, when producing a career-best performance.
