THE Carlow People Newspaper Handicap is the feature event on this afternoon's card at Gowran Park and Dermot Weld's Caheerloch, with 5lb claimer Shane Gorey in the saddle, is sure to be a strong fancy for this event.

Settigano and Monteriggioni renew course rivalry and must also be considered, while Forthright, runner-up to Caheerloch at the Curragh last time, may be capable of reversing the form now that he is 6lb better off for his length and a half defeat. Certainlei, from the in-form Tim Doyle stable, cannot be ruled out either but Caheerloch holds more appeal.

The Aidan O'Brien-trained Savethisdanceforme will have her share of supporters in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden but Kevin Prendergast's Rainbow Crossing deserves a change of luck after finishing third in a decent contest at the Curragh nine days ago.

O'Brien should gain compensation later in the afternoon through Budapest in the Hurry Harriet Listed Race 15th August At Gowran Park Maiden, despite the presence of the Jim Bolgertrained Sixteen Forty Two in the line-up.

The Kevin Prendergasttrained Extraterrestrial has obvious claims in the Ross Standard Median Auction Race. Here, Newgate Lodge ranks as the danger.

Halford is also represented at Limerick's all NH fixture this afternoon by Quinmaster in the Bulmers Summer Sundays Novice Hurdle. The fiveyear-old has improved significantly on the level, recording big race wins at the Curragh, Galway and Leopardstown and that form may be good enough here.

Emotional Article gets the vote in the Bulmers Summer Sundays Novice Chase while Bluebyyou appeals in the Arup Limerick 25 Yrs In Business Maiden Hurdle.

Cloone Rocket will take all the beating when he makes his jumping debut in the Aslan Play July 26th Maiden Hurdle.

Phelans Fancy, successful here in May, should return to winning ways in the Bruce Shaw Handicap Chase.
