Rince Deireanach looks well equipped to handle the testing conditions in Foxrock on Wednesday when she contests the Leopardstown Summer Pass Handicap.

Heavy ground is currently a staple diet in Ireland and Jim Bolger's filly powered through it to win a nursery in Fairyhouse at the end of last season. That form appears solid as several winners have come out of the race.

Rince Deireanach opened her campaign with a runner-up finish in Cork last week over an extended mile, and should be match-fit for this assignment over seven furlongs.

Ground-versatile Prove The Point won on this card last year and could repeat the feat in the Spin 1038 Finale Handicap.

Her trainer Michael Mulvany has started the season well in landing the Tote Irish Lincolnshire at Naas with On The Go Again.

Aidan O'Brien holds a strong hand with three runners in the Leopardstown 'Club 30' Membership (C&G) Maiden.

Giuseppe Garibaldi might fare best of them after his encouraging second place in a Group Three at this track in October.

Ger Lyons won this race last year with Insayshable so Future Proof, a son of Dream Ahead, is worth monitoring in the betting on debut.

O'Brien has another three representatives in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, and Broadway could be the one after finishing fourth in a good fillies' maiden at Naas last June.

Dermot Weld introduces a couple of newcomers in Jaega and Lure Of The Sea, of which the market should be informative.

No Way Jack's fondness for an ease in the ground ought to see him competitive in the Bulmers Live At Leopardstown Handicap.
