BRITISH-trained horses have tended to dominate Irish sprint races in recent seasons and Definightly, from the Roger Charlton stable, looks set to continue that trend with success under Kevin Mannning in the listed Jersey Racing Club Testimonial Stakes at the Curragh this afternoon.

The four-year-old gets the vote to return to winning ways here at the expense of Jessica Harrington's course and distance specialist Jumbajukiba after failing to overcome a poor draw in the Ayr Silver Cup on his last run. Having previously won at this level last month Definightly is a confident choice to oblige.

There are two other equally competitive listed events on the card and in the Lanwades & Staffordstown Studs Stakes Rising Wind is the main fancy. She is trainer Kevin Prendergast's selection from a choice of three entries and holds more appeal than either Aris who stepped up on his debut to fill the runner-up spot behind Chrysanthemum in a similar contest last month, or Hurricane Havoc.

In the absence of one-time Epsom Derby favourite St Nicholas Abbey, the Go Racing In Kildare Festival Finale Stakes is a wide-open affair. Take a chance with the Fran Berry-ridden Roses For The Lady to upset the ultra-consistent She's Our Mark and Syann.

The Dermot Weld-trained Back Cover appeals as the likely winner of the Special Olympics Ireland EBF Maiden, while Wayne Lordan's mount Paramount will appreciate the shorter trip in the Mongey Communications Handicap after running out of steam in the closing stages of the Cesarewitch last time.

Racing also take places over the sticks at Limerick where the Ladbrokes.com Munster National takes centre stage. There will be plenty of interest in the local hope Mossbank who is returning after a lengthy absence, having failed to fulfil his recent engagement in the Kerry National. Stable-companion Dancing Tornado cannot be ruled out either, and he has the benefit of recent runs under his belt, as does last Saturday's Gowran Park Champion Chase third Oscar Looby.

Preference, however, is for last year's third Paddy Pub who, unlike last year, has the benefit of an encouraging recent pipe-opener over hurdles. A previous winner over this course, he has gained valuable experience in handicaps and will relish the three mile trip. Oscar Looby and Wins Now may be the ones to chase him home.
