There is a busy bank holiday weekend ahead, and Western Cape is taken to get punters off to the best possible start by taking the Irish EBF Median Sires Maiden, the opening race on Saturday afternoon’s card in Listowel.

Donnacha O’Brien’s juvenile made his debut in a Roscommon maiden and had to settle for fifth place, beaten more than eight lengths behind winner Comhra.
