Delve into Man's trap one stats to unearth Mullingar's best bet

DELVIN MAN has a near 50 per cent strike rate wearing the red jacket so take the hint when he goes from trap one in Mullingar's A3 over 525 yards at 12.21.

Thomas Ivory's dog has been in the wars a little of late and switching back to the rails draw looks perfectly timed.

Key will be holding his pitch early to allow a decent run round the first couple of bends before then asserting along the back straight.

Other fancies at the Midlands track are Richard Depsey's Ceilidh in the opener at 11.13 and Catriona Ni-Duill's Kuma Bushra (12.04).

There is double Irish Friday action with Cork having an evening card at which Jerry O'Sullivan's Kilmoney Bimbo (8.43) is the standout with Chris Walsh's Lahana Dash (9.31) a subsequent fancy.

Harlow has morning and evening fixtures with Darren Whitton's Moaning Mojito (11.54) strongly fancied to atone for a recent unfortunate odds-on reverse on her return from season, while Sharon Saberton's Dashgrove Sam (6.46) can double his career tally having won at the 14th time of asking recently.

The afternoon action comes from Star Pelaw where Sam Atkinson's hat-trick seeking Caseys Jake (3.22) can improve his already excellent record in A3 grade.

Meetings at Limerick and Waterford have been rescheduled due to expected hot temperatures and will no longer be covered.
