Limerick plays host to a Flat racing programme and Corps Des Pages can build on a promising debut by taking the first race, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, for Paddy Twomey and Billy Lee. Unraced at two, he started off in a Leopardstown maiden 13 days ago and ran a fine race to finish third behind O’Reilly and HMS Seahorse.

The winner gave the form a boost by running second to Kyprios yesterday in Cork and without factoring in likely improvement to the selection, that level of form gives him leading claims in this company. The drop to seven furlongs, from a mile, won’t be a problem and he can take this en route to better things.
