Dandyleekie is an eyecatching runner at Naas as he contests the opening Frank Kenny Race.

Ger Lyons' charge was a winner on his debut at Navan but was last seen finishing a narrow second to Dick Whittington at that track in June.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained winner has since gone on to be placed at Royal Ascot and land a Group Three heat, so Dandyleekie certainly brings some classy form to the table.

He is one of five runners, with O'Brien fielding Cape Clear Island a dual winner who hails from the family of Brian Boru.

The feature event is the Tipper Road Rated Race, in which David Marnane's Seanie shoulders top weight.

Lyons has two live chances with Toccata Blue and Bilderburg, who is pretty unexposed as he has just his fourth career start.

The three-year-old was a winner at Fairyhouse last month and boasts the highest rating of 90 in this seven-furlong heat.

O'Brien has two contenders in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, with Order Of St George the leading light after finishing a fair fourth on his Leopardstown debut. Song Of Love also runs for Ballydoyle, while Paul Deegan has both Full Of Beauty and Red Haired Mary in the mix.

Lyons' Sacrificial will have his supporters after chasing home Raydara on his debut. Millington and Botanical Lady are two last-time-out winners to take their chance in the Book On-line At naasracecourse.com Handicap, while Chillie Billie appears to be running into a bit of form ahead of the Follow Naas On Facebook Handicap. Nidhaam is a noteworthy contender for Dermot Weld in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, with the Naas Apprentice Handicap the other event on the card.
