Path bids for four-timer Tribal Path will bid to make it four wins on the bounce when he lines-up in the feature at Bellewstown on Friday, the Dore & Co Solicitors Handicap. Successful at Cork in March, the Damian English-trained six-year-old followed-up at Leopardstown, before completing his hat-trick at Dundalk. He has been given a break since his last win, and returns now with Donagh O'Connor taking a valuable five pounds off his back. Top-weight Ishebayorgrey won last time out at Limerick, and he is sure to have plenty of supporters, while 2014 winner Strait Of Zanzibar is another leading contender in this ultra-competitive contest. The Jim Fuller Memorial Handicap has been divided, and in the second split Botanical Lady looks the one to side with, after she won at Sligo on Tuesday. The first divide looks a wide open affair, with recent Down Royal winner Jembatt sure to prove popular amongst punters. Newcomers Boyfriend Brian, Epitaph and Hey Hey Alejandro appear the three to focus on in the opening Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction 2yo Maiden, while Pillar, Protocol and Intrepid Prince are a few for the shortlist in the GemElliott Construction Handicap. It'll be disappointing if Palmetto Dunes can't take the Irish Stallion EBF Median Auction 3yo & 4yo Maiden, while the Aidan O'Brien-trained newcomer Romanesque won't have to be a star to win the Anglo Printers Maiden. Five have been declared for the concluding Golden Nugget Casino (Q.R.) Race, and the Nina Carberry-ridden Hostile Fire should prove hard to beat here.
