There have been a few betting moves ahead of today’s two Irish meetings, with Noel Meade’s Athlumney Hall (20/1 into 8/1 with Paddy Power) popular with punters for the 1m maiden at Dundalk at 6.15.

The lightly-raced No Nay Never gelding was a good second in a big-field handicap at the Curragh two runs back, and was hampered when a beaten favourite at Gowran last time.

Ken Condon ’s These Days ( 10s into 7/1 with Paddy Power) has also attracted support in the same race, and would have claims on the pick of his form as he returns from a lay-off having been gelded in the interim.

Ger O’Leary’s Newgirlintown has shown up quite well on her first two handicap starts, and is 7/1 from 11/1 for her polytrack debut in division one of the 1m handicap at 6.45, while One For Della (14s into 9/1 with Boylesports) has her supporters in division two of that event at 7.15, following a much-improved third to Yafordadoe at the Curragh ten days ago.

Dual course winner Major Reward tries a mile and a half for the first time in the finale at 8.45, and the Dawn Approach gelding is 11/2 from 8s with Paddy Power as he has a first start for Denis Hogan.

There are a fair few short ones at Down Royal this afternoon, but Liz Doyle’s Bois De Clamart (11s into 7s with Boylesports) has been supported in the opening 2m6f maiden hurdle at 12.40, where Fury Road is a warm order, while Western Victory has been backed (7s into 7/2 with Boylesports) to bounce back from a below-par run at Limerick in the featured Grade 2 WKD hurdle at 1.45.
