Preview bellewstown 24th Aug

Radanpour attempts to get back on track in the Byrne Marquees Hilltown Race at Bellewstown on Wednesday.

The son of Sea The Stars won his first three starts, culminating with a Listed triumph at Leopardstown last year, prompting Dermot Weld to pitch him into the Irish Derby.

He came up short there and following a costly defeat on his comeback, flopped in the Martin Molony Stakes.

The visor that was applied for the first time at Limerick stays on but he will need to be near the top of his game to successfully concede 7lb to Romanesque, who scored on debut here before hitting the crossbar in a competitive handicap.

Weld added to his Galway Festival tally with Tarazani last month, and the lightly-raced three-year-old tries to follow up in the Drogheda Traders Plate Handicap.

Hint Of Frost and Remarkable Lady also won their last starts, and Xebec and Artful Artist, both of whom have occupied the runner-up berth on their two most recent appearances, add further spice to a competitive heat.

The bumper eight-race card gets under way at 3.55 with the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Auction Maiden, in which Magnification will again have his supporters as he strives to prove that his rating of 82 is justified.

Calm Bay came out on top in the Holcroft Motors No. 1 For Peugeot Hill Sprint Handicap a couple of years ago and while he isn't getting any younger, he has slipped to an interesting mark so cannot be written off just yet.

Rigid Rock and Botanical Lady arrive at the Eva-Tec Ltd Handicap in winning form, while Highland Fling, Byron Beauty and Rockview Emperor all struck at the last time of asking and that trio do battle in a Lougher Stables Handicap that appears really tricky to solve.

Accalia is getting ever closer to that first victory and might be the answer to the Collierstown Maiden.
