Three to watch under the lights on the all-weather this evening
Dundalk and Kempton provide evening racing with plenty of interesting angles, including the Irish champion jockey duel between Pat Smullen and Colin Keane that continues and a Listed race which features one of the best-bred fillies in training.
Gather (7.45 Kempton)
Not quite a repeat of the Fillies' Mile run today at Newmarket but this is another race for two-year-old fillies over a mile and it features some well-bred youngsters.
All the money has been for the Cliveden Stud’s Melodies, who improved on her debut when second in a Newbury maiden. Gather is a similar sort who stepped up on her debut run when chasing home previous winner Teppal after racing prominently. This trip could bring more improvement.
Goldrush (8.00 Dundalk)
It was a long time in the making but Goldrush’s debut last month at the age of three was worth waiting for after she was sold as a yearling to the China Horse Club for 1.7m euros. This Frankel daughter of the wonderful racemare Alexander Goldrun took apart an 18-runner maiden at Navan and now bids for some important black type in the Listed contest.
The step up in class and distance is befitting of Goldrush's family profile as her mother is remembered for her Group 1 haul that included two Pretty Pollys, a Nassau and a Hong Kong Cup.
Ben Rumson (9.00 Dundalk)
The last of seven rides on the card for jockeys’ title leader Colin Keane and this five-year-old, who is looking to follow up an impressive win, returned to the Flat last time over this course and distance last month.
The handicapper has put him up 5lb but Colin Keane clicked with this son of Ask when riding him for the first time and keeps the ride as he bids to fend off Pat Smullen, who happens to ride the market rival Jock Talk.
