THE €16,000 Tote Gold Cup reaches the semi-final stage at Shelbourne Park this evening with the whole meeting live on sisracing.tv.
Ian Fortune has previewed the full card race-by-race below, suffice to say his nap is Liam Dowling’s Solo And Go in the opening Gold Cup semi at 8.32.
Dowling also has the brilliant Ballymac Setanta in action in a supporting 525 yards contest at 9.40 where he is sure to be a warm order after his stunning sprint return to action last week.

There is also Irish afternoon action at Youghal with David Budd's Lyreen Pearl fancied to build on the promise of a recent second, while other fancies are Ger Gubbins' Hollyhill Luca (3.22) and Tadhg O'Loughlin's Dower Patch (3.59).
Pick of the Saturday UK cards is at Oxford where the evening meeting features five opens, the pick being a 450m contest at 9.01 in which Adam Sear's Mr Flashy looks good for a course and distance hat-trick.
Kevin Hutton can land both heats of the BetGoodwin Oxford Stayers over 650m courtesy of Venetian Mick (8.09) and Jet Stream Jane (8.26) with one-off picks being Angie Kibble's Newinn Bliss (6.56) and Sean White's classy sprinter Broadway Murty (7.31).
Doncaster has a morning/evening double header with the respective suggestions being Sue Watson's Reenaderry Road (12.21) who can register a fifth win in his last six B2 appearances, and Ricky Overton's Slaneyside Tara (6.29), who can make it five from seven in D3 sprints.
