The Willie Mullins-trained Morning Run will bid to follow in the hoofprints of star stablemate Annie Power when she lines up in the Enniscorthy Mares INH Flat race at Wexford.

Annie Power won this race in 2012 when trained by Jim Bolger, and Morning Run will be popular as she bids to keep her unbeaten record intact.

The daughter of King's Theatre won the valuable ITBA Fillies Scheme Premier Bumper at the Punchestown Festival on her debut in May and followed up in a winners' bumper at Down Royal in June. Collen Beag looks her biggest danger but anything other than a win for Morning Run will come as a surprise.

The Shelmalier Qualified Riders Race goes to post 30 minutes earlier and a quality field of four has been declared for this two-mile contest.

Mullins again looks to have strong claims, with dual bumper winner Totally Dominant representing the champion trainer.

His nephew David takes the ride on the five-year-old son of War Chant, while Patrick Mullins will be aboard Grecian Tiger for Dermot Weld.

Peter Fahey 's Alton Bay who has won his last three, will be ridden by Katie Walsh, while Macnicholson completes the line-up under Kate Harrington for her mother Jessica.

The Tony Martin-trained Greatness is a progressive sort and he is sure to prove popular with punters in the Boolavogue Handicap.

The grey son of Dalakhani has won twice over hurdles in recent months and will be looking to exploit his low mark on the level.

The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden gets proceedings under way at 2.35 with Weld's Comtesse the stand-out name.

She finished second and third on her first two starts at Leopardstown and should be able to make it third time lucky.

Thunder Zone and Mr Rock both have decent form to their names and they appear the two to focus on in the Follow Wexford Racecourse On Facebook Maiden, although Bolger's newcomer Croi Na Feile should not be dismissed.

The Children's Day At Bettyville Handicap looks an ultra-competitive affair with Cin Cin An Fear Ciuin Coolfighter Ring Chief The Big Cat and Unrequited all sure to have their supporters.

Cin Cin has to defy top weight if she is going to complete what would be a quickfire hat-trick, having started her winning run on this track five weeks ago before following up at Tramore in the middle of this month.

She now returns to the scene of that first success but has to cope with a rise of 9lb, and trainer Andrew Heffernan is hopeful she can continue her progression.

The County Dublin handler said: "She's being going all right and we will have to see if she can do well with the extra weight she's got. She's gone up to a mark of 77 and she started at 68 a couple of weeks ago, so we'll see, but she's in good form."
