18:15 Oran Handicap (50-80)

Race preview

LUKE SHORT gained the latest of his two wins over three years ago, but has returned in good form recently following an absence of over 14 months. The Noel Meade-trained gelding didn't enjoy the clearest of passages when a close-up third on soft ground at Naas, and again finished strongly over 10 furlongs when beaten a neck by Slieve Binnian in a 19-runner handicap at the Curragh. Kadeen starts handicap life off a mark of 75 after winning a Curragh maiden and it will be interesting to see how he copes with this longer trip, while Narlita handles soft ground well and is another for the shortlist after beating all bar Secret Rock over C&D last month. Jabbar won at Killarney last time and remains on a competitive mark.
