Ardhoomey isn't being allowed to rest on his laurels and makes a swift return to action in the Racing Again June 12th Race at Cork on Friday evening.

Ger Lyons' four-year-old hasn't had much racing but he has never produced a poor effort and struck in determined fashion at Navan last Sunday.

That was in handicap company, though, and he now takes on established Pattern performers like Abstraction and The Happy Prince, who were third and sixth respectively in the Woodlands Stakes at Naas.

Also in the mix is Toscanini, who failed to fire at the Dubai Carnival but was on the premises in a string of good sprints in 2015.

There are signs that David Wachman's team is beginning to fire and his Gone To Russia will be fancied to build on a narrow debut defeat in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden at 5.35.

The daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar was a place in front of the reopposing Blue Bahia at Naas, and may have most to fear from newcomers Arabian Verse and Spy Ring.

Crafted Jewel chased home subsequent Salsabil Stakes winner Pretty Perfect on the last of three juvenile outings and reappears in the Buy Online At corkracecourse.ie Maiden.

She has to concede race fitness to Mittersill, who got closest to Irish 2,000 Guineas contender Bravery at Dundalk last month.

Charlies Missile gained reward for his recent consistency when winning a Naas handicap and tries to defy a 7lb hike in the Mallow Town Summer BBQ Evening July 8th Handicap.

Cappadocia is a massive 13lb higher than he was for last week's Dundalk success so there may be better alternatives in the Cork Racecourse Handicap, while Brokopondo struck on the same all-weather card and the hood that worked so well on that occasion stays on for the Social Package Handicap.
