Clear Skies bids for a hat-trick in the Crowne Plaza Jockey And Trainer Awards Handicap at Dundalk.
Aidan O'Brien's regally-bred filly, a Sea The Stars half-sister to Derby winner Motivator, had struggled somewhat for David Wachman, but has flourish on the all-weather, winning her last two over this evening's trip.
The JP McManus-owned filly has fellow McManus runner Carried, a winner here last time, and the consistent Miss Snossyboots to contend with in this.
Miss Snossyboots' handler Michael Halford saddles Hope Lake as she bids to make it fifth time lucky in the Dundalk Stadium Business Club 2018 Fillies Maiden.
The Godolphin filly has finished third on here last two outings, but is rated lower than Ger Lyons' Lady Nathaniel, the Jessica Harrington-trained Spring Garden and Joseph O'Brien's Unpretentious in this.
Joseph O'Brien also has a trio of runners in the Joe Wall's 70th Birthday Nursery Handicap, with Terdrop Island, Paparazzi and Feadan all representing the handler.
Gordon Elliott could have the one to beat in that contest, though, as Smiling Eliza has been going well on the all-weather here of late.
Lyons and champion jockey Colin Keane have proved a formidable partnership so newcomer Elegant Drama is worth keeping an eye on in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden.
However, Greengage showed a real liking for this surface when beaten just a length at 100-1 last time and could go well for John Murphy.
The meeting kicks off at 5.30 with the www.dundalkstadium.com Handicap, which pits Fozzy Stack's recent course winner Bambari against Aggression, who got within a nose of victory last time.
Specific Gravity, What Wonders Weave and Six Silver Lane could be the ones to focus on in the Irishinjuredjockeys.com Claiming Race, while the Floodlit Friday Nights At Dundalk Stadium Apprentice Handicap is a chance for Halford's Invincible Ryker to get reacquainted with the Dundalk Polytrack.
