Previous Rockingham winners back for more

Former winners Whozthecat and Bubbly Bellini will both shoot for glory again in Sunday's Rockingham Handicap at the Curragh.

Whozthecat emerged victorious for Declan Carroll last year but failed to make much of an impact in four subsequent starts and now back to somewhere near his winning mark after falling from a high of 101 in the official ratings.

He will again be partnered by 7lb claimer Luke Leadbitter as he tries to regain the winning thread in the five-furlong heat.

However, 2012 hero Bubbly Bellini will be looking to set the record straight after he unseated his rider in last year's renewal.

Ado McGuinness' runner finished down the field at Royal Ascot last time but has shown glimpses of form in his seven outings so far this term.

My Good Brother heads the weights but there is sure to be plenty of support for the Olly Stevens-trained Green Door who appears to be on a highly favourable mark following a good run at Chester last week.

Yulong Baoju had to settle for second last year but tries his luck again while Kernoff, More Questions and the Aidan O'Brien-trained Masai will also have their backers.

O'Brien fields top weight As Good As Gold Irish Champions Weekend 13th & 14th September Nursery Handicap as she steps back in company following a Group Three outing last time.

Ohh Lala was a winner for Willie McCreery on her most recent outing and she is the only previous victor in a six-strong field.

O'Brien also has a leading for the opening Sycamore Lodge Equine Hospital European Breeders Fund Fillies Maiden in Toogoodtobetrue while David Wachman will be hoping Supposing can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking in the Jebel Ali Racecourse And Stables Fillies Maiden.

Wither Hills was a winner at Dundalk back in March and appears to be the leading contender in the Longines World Fegentri Championship For Lady Riders Handicap.
