Seven have been declared for the feature at Roscommon this evening, the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Connacht Oaks Fillies Handicap.

The hat-trick-seeking Hamley heads the field and is sure to prove popular with punters after successive wins at Tipperary and the Curragh respectively.

The Peter Fahey-trained four-year-old has gone up 12lbs for those two successes and is the joint top-weight here with 9st 10lb on her back.

The consistent Sister Blandina is the other one to carry 9st 10lbs and she finished behind Hamley when they clashed at the Curragh early last month.

The two three-year-olds in the line-up, who both got off the mark last time out, appear to be well treated by the conditions of the race.

Killarney winner She's So Flawless will have just 8st 12lbs on her back, while the Jessica Harrington-trained Two For Tea carries 1lb less.

Bryon Beauty has been in fine form of late and looks to have solid claims, while course winner Jeremy's Girl is another to consider.

Colin Keane will be aboard Jeremy's Girl and he takes the ride on Cannonball in the concluding Railway Bar Race.

This son of Lope De Vega got off the mark on his second start at the Curragh in June and he might be able to follow-up now, with his main rivals appearing to be Red Label and Massif Central.

Keane again teams-up with his boss Ger Lyons for the ride on Ball Girl in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden. She was a good second on her debut at Gowran last month.

The six-runner Paul Byron Shoes Rated Race looks an interesting affair, with Galway winner Perfect Solider turned out again quickly.

The son of Kodiac will carry just 8st 5lbs here with Sean Davis taking a valuable 7lbs off his back. Remarkable Lady is another Galway winner to turn out again quickly as she lines up in the Class Grass Handicap.

Sean Davis also takes the ride on this Harry Rogers-trained four-year-old, who has most to fear from Pincheck Vastonea Tipstaff and Onlyhuman

The J.F. Hanley Nursery Handicap looks a wide-open affair, with Vicky Christina, Big Bad Sal Shifted Strategy and Ballot Box a few for the shortlist.

The Michael Holland Tyres Handicap is another competitive contest, and top-weight Twist Of Magic might be able to take this after going down by just a head at Galway last week.
