John Kiely's Timing'severything is likely to take plenty beating in the opening Casey Concrete Blocks Maiden Hurdle at Wexford on Saturday.

The JP McManus-owned gelding will be expected to improve from his recent promising hurdles debut at Tipperary, where he finished second.

The son of Court Cave was trained by Paddy Twomey to win his Punchestown Festival bumper on debut last April and having changed hands since, caught the eye when only narrowly beaten.

Timing'severything appeared to do plenty right that day before meeting traffic problems in the closing stages. He does look like the type to do well and should readily account for the Sandra Hughes-trained Silken Thomas today.

McManus and Timing'severything's jockey Mark Walsh combine forces in the featured 25,000 euros Casey Precast Handicap Chase with the Edward O'Grady-trained Gallant Tipp.

However, preference is for the Arthur Moore-trained Dandridge, who has been running well on good ground this summer and was a runner-up at Sligo recently.

Peter Fahey's Earth Sister was a costly 13-8 beaten favourite when second at Punchestown 10 days ago but can make it third-time lucky in the concluding Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Bumper, with Nina Carberry a positive booking.

Elsewhere, Alan Fleming will be hoping to continue his good recent run in the Casey Bros Supporting Their Local Racecourse Beginners Chase where his second season novice Blue Bicycle might prove too strong for the Jim Culloty-trained Marvelous Moment.
