Preview gowran park 25th Jun

Araqeel bids to make a winning reappearance in the www.gowranpark.ie Handicap, the most valuable contest on a seven-race card at the County Kilkenny venue.

Dermot Weld's charge signed off last season with an impressive maiden success at Listowel and is likely to have plenty of supporters on his return off an opening mark of 88.

Club Wexford carries a 6lb penalty for scoring at Navan last week and is likely to give another good account of himself, likewise Mizaah who has been running well in defeat.

Weld takes the wraps off Crecerelle in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, which gets the action underway at 2.05.

He isn't the only Galileo newcomer in the field as Aidan O'Brien saddles Amedeo Modigliani and the 750,000gns purchase holds a couple of Group One entries.

Weld is double-handed in the concluding Golf Societies Welcome Race courtesy of Titus and Massayan.

Pat Smullen opts to partner the former, who was fifth behind Glamorous Approach on his return after making a winning debut last summer, while his stablemate aims for a hat-trick after ending last season with victories at Galway and over this course and distance.

Betty Loch shoulders top weight in the Racing Again July 4th Handicap after qualifying for a mark with a neck second at Naas and is expected to go well for Mick Halford, while his stable companion Vienna Circle also arrives on the back of a silver medal when he contests the Join Our Racing Club Maiden.

However, O'Brien's Spanish Steps could be tough to beat with further improvement expected after a near-miss at Cork.

Queluz aims to score for the second Sunday running in the Festival Of Speed July 16th Handicap having tasted success at Cork a week ago, while Modern Approach's course and distance-winning form should stand Jim Bolger's representative in good stead in the Follow Us On Facebook Handicap.
