While Listowel again takes centre stage this afternoon, there is plenty of Irish interest cross-channel at Newmarket and Perth.
Three Irish trained runners are among a field of seven declared for the Listed Jockey Club Rose Bowl Stakes at Newmarket.
An impressive all the way winner of the Petingo Handicap on Champions Weekend, Fighter represents Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore, with this bay colt the only three-year-old in the line-up.
Gordon Elliott's five-time winner Samui and the Dermot Weld-trained Harbour Wind are others making the journey across, with the latter carrying the colours of Moyglare Stud Farm.
Fiona Craig, racing adviser to Moyglare Stud Farm, said: "Because he’s already won a Listed race this year he’s got a penalty, so he’s going to have to give weight away to some useful horses, but the ground will be OK.
"We hardly had any rain in Ireland since probably June and it’s been fast ground and he’s not a horse who can go on that. If you run him on firm, he’s going to be crippled the next day.
"We've been trying to avoid Kyprios given they’re in the same ownership, so it didn’t make any sense to run him in the Irish Leger.
"We've waited for this and if he runs a good race, we might try to run him in the stayers’ race at Ascot on Champions Day."
Elsewhere on the card, Aidan O'Brien saddles Champagne Stakes runner-up Monumental in the feature Tattersalls Stakes.
One of seven declared for this Group 3 contest, the Kingman colt has most to fear from The Waco Kid Symbol Of Honour and the unbeaten Diego Ventura
Jumps action takes place further north at Perth, with Building Bridges one of seven for the feature Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap Hurdle.
Trained in Co Derry by Gary McGill and ridden by his son Oran, the versatile seven-time winner looks a leading contender.
Fellow Northern Ireland trainers Sean McParlan and Noel Kelly both saddle two on this eight-race programme.
McParlan has the hat-trick seeking Cabra Lady in the opening contest and Wexford third Drumlee Myth in the concluding bumper.
Kelly's representatives are Chancer Dancer and the long absent Size Five, with these two in the fifth and sixth respectively.
