Lugnaquilla can get off the mark at the third time of asking when she contests the Racing Again October 3 & 4 Maiden, the final race on this afternoon’s card in Tipperary.

Donnacha O’Brien’s filly, taken out of a Galway maiden last week due to heavy ground, sets the standard in today’s race. She finished an eye-catching fourth behind subsequent Epsom Oaks runner-up Ennistymon on her debut, in June, and off a break she ran a sound race to finish runner-up to Shamiyna in mid-August.
