Irish Previews: After a slow start to the season, the David Wachman team are slowly coming back to form and Paris Winds can emphasise the point with a victory at Naas today.

The filly goes in the mile-and-a-quarter maiden and considering she was capable of running a good third to Tamazug at the Curragh in April, when most of her stable companions were out of form, there should be even better to come.

Whether the same can be said for Absolutelyfabulous in the six-furlong handicap is debatable but Paris Winds' stable mate should at least be at home on the prevailing fast conditions.

The ground will be a vital factor in the featured Group Three Swordlestown Stud Sprint considering most of the market principals have only faced a soft surface to date. In contrast Jim Bolger's Finsceal Beo won on fast going on her debut and is at least proven on the conditions for a race that has thrown up the juvenile champions Rumplestiltskin and Damson.

Treasure Cay is the cross-channel challenger in the Listed Sprint where Moon Unit will try and emulate last year's victory.

It could pay to take a chance, though, with Majestic Times, who has run well on fast ground in the past.

Ground conditions don't see to matter to Zacharova, who can pull off a quick hat-trick in the concluding seven-furlong handicap.

Quick ground will also be on offer at Listowel again but that shouldn't be too much of a problem for Seaforde's return to action in the handicap chase.

Tony McCoy will be present for the ride on Anxious Moments in the conditions hurdle and a good second to Pacolet on the flat at Clonmel will have put Charlie Swan's former Grade One chase winner spot on.
