Weld going flat out with Windsor Windsor Park is the star turn at Gowran Park on Saturday as the Cheltenham Festival hero reverts to the Flat in the www.gowranpark.ie For Best Offers Race over a mile and three-quarters. The Galileo gelding ran up a sequence of four victories on the level last year before successfully switching his attention to hurdles, and enjoyed his finest hour last month when landing the Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle. Trainer Dermot Weld may consider a tilt at the Ascot Gold Cup if he continues to progress on the Flat. However the six-year-old will not have things all his own way with the likes of Domination, winner of the Ascot Stakes at the Royal meeting last June, and Shu Lewis among his six rivals. Weld has made a fast start to the new turf season with six winners already on the board and, with that in mind, newcomers Joailliere and Serefeli are worth a second look in their respective maiden races. Pat Smullen also partners Edelpour in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden, and the Aga Khan home-bred should go close having finished a promising fifth to Derby possible Giovanni Canaletto on his only start at Leopardstown last year. Charles O'Brien and Fran Berry successfully teamed up at Tipperary on Thursday with Great Wide Open, and the pair have a number of decent opportunities on this seven-race card. Pantomime handled cut in the ground last year and gets an initial mark of 70 in the Ladies Day June 20th Handicap, where she has the box seat in stall one. Hammermann has not been so fortunate with the draw in the Racings Best Offer 19 Euros Silver Package Handicap, but is fit from a number of runs on the Polytrack at Dundalk.
