Saturday's winner came at Gowran Park where Faiyum made all the running asserting herself 2 out, she kept on well inside the final furlong easily beating Higher Leaves by 7 lengths. Over at Navan Avalo was 3rd in a race won by Ragmans Corner who beat Whimsy by 2 1/2 lengths.
Sunday sees 7 races at Listowel on day 1 of the harvest festival where there are 2 highlights.
2.58: Cheestrings Irish EBF Mares Hurdle.
1: Jalila Moriviere: A useful hurdler who's last victory was at Limerick in March. She was a creditable 6th in the grade 3 Galway Hurdle 52 days ago where she led at halfway but a mistake at the last saw her passed and she had no extra. She goes back up in trip here and in calmer waters should be hard to beat.
4.58: Kerry Dairy Ireland Handicap Chase.
10: Battle Of Ridgeway: A decent horse who has one win from three runs this season. That came at Wexford 23 days ago where he was 2nd entering the straight leading soon after, despite being strongly pressed in the closing stages he just held on to win by a short head. A small weight rise shouldn't be a problem and he can follow up here.
