Killarney, one of the most scenic tracks on the Irish circuit, begins its four-day July festival with a mixed card stacked full of enticing punting conundrums.

Jessica Harrington has been cooking with gas this month and her representative For Your Eyes, who finished third to talented stablemate Leo Fury last time, looks sure to go well in the competitive 1m3f fillies' maiden (5.50).

As is customary for a Monday, Windsor hosts an evening card, along with Wolverhampton on the all-weather. Ayr, Ripon and Downpatrick are the venues for afternoon racing.

Final thought

Brahma Bull looked a useful recruit to chasing for Willie Mullins when winning on his fencing debut at Tipperary in May, but will certainly need to be firing on all cylinders to defeat the high-class Dinons in a fascinating 2m7f novice chase (8.50) to close Killarney's card.
