Youghal is the afternoon venue where the feature is the rescheduled final of the Davy O'Brien Memorial A5/A6 Stake over 525 yards at 3.41 in which Nicholas Walsh's Seaview Deise may be able to hold on to an early lead unlike when picked up in the heats.
John O'Connell's Rallying Molly (2.26) and Gearoid Geary's Caireal Gold (3.59) are other with strong claims at the seaside venue.
