Tipperary Preview: An 8.0 inspection is planned for Tipperary this morning ahead of tonight's scheduled meeting.
The course got 14mms of rain yesterday but the threat of further overnight rain has resulted in an inspection being called. The track was raceable yesterday evening.
Slaney Rock can provide the Jim Bolger-Kevin Manning team with a confidence boost ahead of Finsceal Beo's Coronation Stakes bid tomorrow when he lines up for the juvenile maiden.
Finsceal Beo will have 12 opponents against her at Royal Ascot as she tries for a fourth Group One victory against some old rivals such as Darjina and Arch Swing. The latter represents John Oxx but Finsceal Beo will have to reverse form with Darjina from France last month when a narrow defeat denied the Irish star a unique classic triple crown.
Slaney Rock's form suggest he is on a winner and there was plenty to like about his second to Greek Mythology at Leopardstown. The Storm Cat newcomer Lucifer Sam looks the danger.
Dermot Weld gives Lisselan Eagle the third jumping start of his career in the maiden hurdle and he should be up to beating Nasafar who will be ridden by Jim Culloty's new stable jockey Tom Doyle.
