Dermot Weld sent Salhooda over to Chester for her reappearance and though that ended in defeat, she could take some stopping on her return to these shores in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Race at Ballinrobe.

The Nayef filly beat Hanky Panky in a Curragh maiden last term and is likely to come on for that outing on the Roodee, but will need to if she's to beat Willie McCreery's in-form Musical Peace and Killarney scorer Kiss Goodnight.

The meeting gets under way at 5.25 with the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Maiden, which sees Weld's Cocktail Hour bid to go one better than at Navan last time.

Aidan O'Brien has the consistent King Of The Romans in opposition, though, while Madam Mo has gone close twice already this term and cannot be underestimated.

The last of the three Flat races is the Ladies Day 25th June Handicap, which sees Clonmel second Noble Call take on Little Green, who struck at the county Tipperary venue a little over two weeks ago.

Call Me Bubbles looks one of the most talented jumps horses in action on day one of the two-day meeting, and Willie Mullins' charge will be out to land the Tipperary Water Hurdle.

The French import struggled a little at Punchestown but looks well in on official figures here, though Bayan won at Cork over timber and followed up with a Dundalk success, so looks in top form.

Point-to-point and bumper winner Baby Grey attempts to add victory over timber in the Mulholland Bookmakers Maiden Hurdle, though Totally Couture and Pollywollydoodle could make it a battle.

Usa, Norah Starr and Faranadooney all have claims in the Supermacs Ballinrobe & Claremorris Handicap Hurdle, while the Ballinrobe Racecourse Of The Year Mares Flat Race looks between Myblueeyedgirl and Carrow Queen.
