Preview wexford 24th Jul
A bumper eight-race card at Wexford features the Martinstown Opportunity Handicap Hurdle, in which Diaconescu will be expected to continue her recent good form.
The six-year-old won well at Downpatrick before taking fourth over two miles at this track, and the step up in trip should suit.
Fabled has done little wrong in three starts over hurdles and could be on the premises, while a return to his best form could give Thewritinonthewall every chance.
The meeting kicks off at 5.05 with the Blackstairs Claiming Race, which looks an ideal opportunity for Fleeting Moment.
Patrick Martin's gelding was well beaten behind Red Rock Canyon at Roscommon, but his previous efforts in this grade give him the edge over Shanghai Star, who beat Fleeting Moment by a short-head at Sligo but is 11lb worse off in this contest.
Reflected Image is hardly a star of Dermot Weld's stable, but the filly looks to have strong claims in the Clonard Maiden after her fair sixth at Leopardstown last time, though support for newcomer Rhythm Queen must be noted.
Recent Ballinrobe winner Lus Na Hoiche looks a formidable opponent for all in the Belmont Handicap, with recent placegetters Baltimore Patriot and Ridgley Didge likely to give him most to think about.
Eyeffess looked a winner in waiting when second at Killarney last time and gets his chance to shine in the www.wexfordraces.ie Maiden Hurdle.
Philip Rothwell's charge pulled clear of the remainder on that occasion and a repeat could be enough to see off the returning Ballyvoile and Go Dana Le Pras.
Rothwell looks to have further claims for success in the Coolcotts Handicap Hurdle with recent course and distance winner Cylindar Rattler, while division one of the Ballindinas INH Flat Race looks tailor-made for Eoin Doyle's impressive Kilbeggan runner-up Ucan Bolt.
