There's likely to be a big crowd in attendance for Cork's student raceday, and the pick of the action could be the Don't Step On The Crest Handicap Hurdle, which pits three last-time-out winners against one another.

Captainofthefleet carries top weight after being raised 7lb for his Thurles success, while Railway Tommy is up 6lb for his victory at Down Royal.

The Mad Well also has a 6lb hike to contend with, but the manner of his Limerick triumph suggests he could have a bit more up his sleeve.

Just three runners go to post for the CIT Rag Week Hurdle, with Sadler's Risk out to gain some compensation for his Punchestown disqualification.

Henry De Bromhead's charge did well that day but his rider weighed in light so connections had to leave empty handed.

Aklan represents Willie Mullins and is a big danger, and Gordon Elliott's Thunder Zone gets plenty of weight from his two rivals.

Elliott and Mullins also lock horns in the Viva La UCC Ladies Flat Race, with Tasidana making her debut for the champion trainer and Dallas Cowboy representing Elliott, while De Bromhead unleashes Sizing Killarney in the opening race at 3.00, the CIT Horse Racing Maiden Hurdle.

The 17,000-euro purchase is likely to have his supporters, though the greater experience of Limerick third Alpinia and Crystal Pearl, who filled the runner-up spot on her first two starts over timber, could be telling.

One Cool Princess won a bumper at this track and bids to make it third-time lucky over timber in the CITSU Maiden Hurdle.

John Walsh's charge appears to be getting the hang of things over hurdles, but has point-to-point winners Kilclooney Wood and Hawkers Son to contend with.

Amateur riders from all over Europe compete in the Fegentri World Championship (QR) Handicap Hurdle, though perhaps a more familiar name in Katie Walsh could go well on King Blue.
