Emmie can take the top award in Kilkenny test she can dominate

CHILTERN EMMIE has had some near-misses of the late but can convert an early lead into victory in Kilkenny's A7 over 525 yards at 11.47.

Gordon Rotheram's bitch gets the inside draw which should allow her early speed to come fully into play and she can hit the front before the opening turn.

Any trouble in behind would only aid her cause but she is fancied to repel all challengers on this occasion in any case for a sixth career win in the grade.

Other Kilkenny picks are Ray McNamara's Rays Jet (10.57), Willie Hanlon's Ballygur Vernon (11.29) and Louise Whall's Giddyup Duchess (12.04), while David Murray's Drinane Cashout (6.56) and Oisin O'Duill's Kuma Valyrian (8.43) can score at Mullingar's evening Irish fixture.

Harlow has the usual Wednesday double-header with Paul Clarke's fast-trapping Kilbobbin Benny (11.21) set for sprint success at the early meeting, while Darren Ellerker's Skidrow Strongbo can make all an evening A6 over 415m at 8.16.

The afternoon cards are at Doncaster and Valley with Craig Williams' Rising Apollo (3.29) fancied in B6 grade at Donny, while Tony Morgan's Rollover Lucy (3.59) should be too good for inter-track rivals in South Wales.
