Ruby can capitalise on easier test to kickstart Limerick wins account

BALLYELAN RUBY has not won since a June/July hat-trick but finds herself in A6 grade for the first time since the initial of those successes and she can capitalise with victory in Limerick's 3.59 over 525 yards.

Kathy Scanlon's bitch can stay closer to the action than is sometimes the case with the race lacking searing early pace and she should then be in a position to pounce in the second half of the contest.

Michael Carmody’s Fast Fit Jewel (3.22) and the Paddy Coss-trained Coss Michal (5.46) are other Limerick fancies, while the syndicate-owned Dungill Lola (11.29), Derek Kehoe’s Slaneyside Tegan (12.04) and Ray O’Sullivan’s Bisto Bucks (1.29) can all score at the earlier Irish morning fixture at Waterford.

There is a full set of Irish fixtures with Enniscorthy having an evening card at which John Kavanagh's Doonanes Eoghan (7.14) looks best, while David Healy’s Millpark Molly (6.56) and Brendan Murphy’s Dolls Gold (9.01) are others with obvious chances.

The UK evening action comes from Valley which has a trio of opens for which the suggestions are the Adrian Rawlings duo of Badminton Mahler (6.11) and Ashway June (7.04) plus Tony Morgan’s Determined Orla (7.58).
