Larkins can put smiles on faces with a second Kilkenny victory

LARKINS LASSIE gets an ease in grade and can make the most of the opportunity to register a second career success in Kilkenny's A6 over 525 yards at 12.54.

John Connolly's bitch won a newcomers' race on debut in May and has generally performed respectably since so this drop in class should do the trick.

Strong all-round, she can utilise the inside draw to secure a clear run early then assert in the second half of the contest.

Other Kilkenny fancies are Mairead Corcoran's Foulkscourt Pet (10.41), John Phelan's Eyeofthekiln (12.04) and Louise Whall's Giddyup Joe (1.12).

Harlow has the usual Wednesday double-header with Darren Whitton's Moaning Versace a standout when tackling D4 sprint company for the first time at 1.03, while Darren Ellerker's Spade Work can complete a hat-trick at 7.24.

Afternoon-wise the action comes from Doncaster and Valley with Sue Watson's Sporting Moana (3.49) and Anna Jeffery's Affleck Airborne (3.59) the respective suggestions.
