Top Of The Town will attempt to uphold form with Baily Moon at Limerick today.
The former, trained by Charles Byrnes, looked impressive in a beginners chase at Tipperary in May when he won by a length and a half in what felt like a strong race.
Baily Moon was runner-up that day for the Mouse Morris team and renews rivalry in the Michael English Country Music Night 27th July Chase over three miles. Aranhill Rascal finished a good second in a handicap chase at Clonmel last month and has also been declared for the 18,000 euro heat. All Hell Let Loose and Don Vincenzo are at the head of the weights, while Thanks For Tea Round Tower and Supreme Vinnie complete the line-up. Gagas Horse looks a major player in the opening maiden hurdle, with last-time-out scorers Naturally Blond Immortal Bridge and Denham Sound in contention for division one of the handicap hurdle over two miles and five furlongs. Snugsborough Benny and Jack Slade hold leading claims in division two.
It is also worth keeping close tabs on Madurai who won a maiden hurdle by five lengths at Gowran a fortnight ago and is one 16 declared runners in the Atomic Chicken Play Live On 22nd July Rated Hurdle.
Trainer Willie Mullins and owners Supreme Racing Club are responsible for Madurai and will also fancy their chances in the concluding mares' bumper with Ainsi Va La Vie who is unraced but has an attractive pedigree.
