Tralee's second day can begin with a bang for punters as Gild looks a reasonable bet to land the opening Ardfert Maiden.

Ten go to post, including Gabby Hayes, a horse with some reasonable form earlier in the season but who seems to be on the slide recently, and Anna Elise who made an eye-catching debut at Clonmel.

John Flynn's filly travelled well and headed Annunciata on the line behind the eased down winner Zilio. That was a promising effort but it should allow Gild's trainer, Jim Bolger, who also trains Annunciata, to know exactly where he stands.

Gild, a daughter of Caerleon, may not relish very soft ground but two runs this season suggest she is a future winner. Over seven furlongs at Cork, she was staying on well to be fourth to the smart Blast Of Storm and Bolger was entitled to think a hike in trip up to 10 furlongs would suit.

That came at Leopardstown and Gild was bang there at the furlong pole until fading behind High King. She reverts to a mile today which should be ideal and Gild appears a worthy nap.

The former smart handicap hurdler, Tidjani, will also attract a lot of followers as he bids to break his fencing duck in the beginners' chase. He is not the easiest ride but he does have the turn of foot to beat these at his best. He was a running-on third to Kings Banquet at Kilbeggan last time and there doesn't appear to be anything of that class against him today.
