The Dermot Weld-trained Maharib should be the appropriate winner of tomorrow's Vintage Crop Stakes at Navan.
Weld trained the legendary Melbourne Cup hero that the race is named after and in Maharib he has a stayer that looks up to conceding weight all around.
The four-year-old enjoyed a fruitful three-year campaign, progressing to winning the Curragh Cup and then a fifth to Brian Boru in the Doncaster St Leger.
His concluding run behind L'ancresse at the Curragh is best ignored and if some fancy targets later this season are to be met then he should be up to beating the double-race winner Holy Orders. Solerina will represent an intriguing entry if following on from yesterday's Champion Hurdle at Punchestown.
Debona looked an unlucky loser over nine furlongs here last weekend and will be closely examined by punters in the mile handicap while the course runner-up Trim Image can score for Pat Shanahan in the two-year-old fillies' maiden.
Fair Replacement has had an up-and-down campaign so far, attracting the attention of the stewards in the North and failing over seven furlongs at the Curragh behind Borella. However, dropped back a furlong for the opener tomorrow, he could be worth one more chance.
The ex-English Liffey ran a fine second to Berati at the Curragh and a repeat of that kind of effort can see Jessica Harrington's horse win out in the mile maiden ahead of the perpetually frustrating Prominent Feature.
Tomorrow's other fixture is at Gowran, which hosts the Glanbia Classic Trial, and the Epsom Derby favourite, Yeats, can get a form boost in this if the Charles O'Brien-trained Lord Admiral can win out ahead of Tarakala, who looks the main danger.
Lord Admiral was 24 lengths off Yeats in the Ballysax Stakes at Leopardstown on ground that hardly suited him. On a better surface the El Prado colt can emulate O'Brien's 2002 race winner Smuggler's Song.
The bet of the day at Gowran, however, looks to come in the bumper, where Willie Mullins gives Gayle Abated a first start since Cheltenham.
Gayle Abated faded at the festival but looked a tough sort previously when proving too good for Able Stalwart at Fairyhouse.
John Oxx looks to have the material to pick up both divisions of the mile maiden with Harriet's Touch and Hazarista.
