Long Island Sound will bid to maintain his 100 per cent record when he lines up in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race at Killarney today.
The Aidan O'Brien-trained son of War Front, who is out of a half-sister to superstar Zenyatta, won on his debut at Dundalk before making all to follow up at the Co Louth venue late last month.
He makes his turf debut now and faces just three rivals.
Ger Lyons is represented by Elusive Heights who won on his debut at Naas last month, while Dermot Weld saddles The Moore Factor an easy winner of his maiden at Gowran.
The filly World Of Good completes the line-up, although it would be a major surprise if she is good enough to win this.
Declan McDonogh rides World Of Good, and he looks to have strong claims on Specific Gravity in the first division of the Ross Golf Course Membership From 250 Euros Handicap.
The Adrian McGuinness-trained eight-year-old made all to win at Dundalk on Friday and bids to follow up under a 5lb penalty. Elusive In Paris finished second to Specific Gravity at Dundalk and he might be able to take the second division, with Gary Halpin again taking off a valuable 5lb.
Johnny Feane trains Elusive In Paris and he has Spruce Meadows in the Join Tote Rewards Today At thetote.com Handicap.
This son of Intikhab won on his last start at Dundalk and looks to have every chance of following up now.
Kieren Fallon is an interesting jockey booking on handicap debutant Helvic while others to consider in this open contest are Fair Game (first-time cheekpieces), Protocol Aspen Mountain and Markhan
The Follow Us On Facebook Handicap is another competitive affair, with Bridal Path, Pincode Henry's Girl Aared and Le Vagabond a few for the shortlist. Monarch ran well on his debut at Limerick last month and, with expected improvement, he should be able to take the opening Celtic Steps The Show At Killarney Racecourse (C & G) Maiden.
Recent Sligo winner Erysimum David Wachman's Gilded Reflection and newcomer Baliyka are the three to focus on in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Race, while Ebayya looks to have found a good opportunity in the concluding four-runner www.killarneyraces.ie Race.
