Returning hero Oisín Murphy is the star attraction on Tuesday’s Killarney card and the five-time champion Flat jockey of Britain looks certain to realise what he last week described as “a lifetime dream” by riding a winner on his debut at his hometown track.
His most obvious chance comes in the opening race, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, where Celtic Motif, back at Joseph O’Brien’s after a spell in America, should prove tough to beat.
