Dermot Weld's Solar Verde (20:00) has improved with experience this year, beating Glor Na Mara in a maiden at Gowran, and looks to have been given a real chance by the handicapper with an opening mark of just 78. Presumably held in quite high regard by his excellent stable (well backed first two starts), Solar Verde looks open to the most improvement of this fourteen-strong field and stall two looks a good draw for one who just about made all on her latest start.

Brazilian Breeze (20:30) may have faded into third behind Winning Impact at Roscommon last time, but she went through the race like one that is particularly well handicapped at present, and looks to have an excellent chance with the emphasis much more on speed this evening. Racing close to a strong pace in testing conditions, Brazilian Breeze looked all over the winner when taking it up on the bridle a furlong out, only to find her stamina stretched in the conditions. The fourth horse, Maundy Money, has since gone on to win and Kevin Prendergast's filly can do her bit to boost the form tonight.

The penultimate race on the card looks a very winnable handicap with solid recent form thin on the ground and Acushladear (21:00) stands out as the most reliable betting proposition. Patrick Tallis's mare has been in good heart over the summer, successful at Tipperary in July before finishing a good second to Topadee there when last seen, poorly placed turning in before finishing well. This step up in trip shouldn't be a problem and it's hard to see her being out of the three.

Back Solar Verde at 5.4 in the 20:00
Back Brazilian Breeze at 12.0 in the 20:30
Back Acushladear win and place at 6.6 in the 21;00
