Three horses at Killarney are attracting plenty of interest this evening.
Tony Martin's Dark Crusader with Fran Berry on board, has been cut from 101/ to 7/2. She races in the mile and three handicap at 6.40. She hasn't been placed on her four outings to date, but the furthest she has raced over is a mile. Last-time out she was eighth in a soft ground handicap over an extended six furlongs at Limerick. She had three outings in maiden company before that.
Jessica Harrington 's Beachdale Lad is very solid in the 7.40, shortening from 11/4 to 2/1. This six-year-old son of Arc winner Carroll House is gunning for a quickfire hat-trick after wins at Roscommon and Kilbeggan in June by 14 and 15 lengths respectively. He has top weight of 11-7 against his seven rivals who include Rebel Fitz Pleased As Punch in the first-time hood has seen support from 7/1 to 4/1 in the handicap hurdle at 8.40. The five-year-old mare is a daughter of High Chaparral and is owned by JP McManus. She is trained by Augustine Leahy and stayed on well for fourth in a handicap hurdle at Listowel on her previous run, over the same two and a half mile trip as this evening.
