The action comes thick and fast at Ballinrobe, with an eight-race mixed card commencing at 2.35.
The second event, the Thanks To Ballinrobe Sponsors 2008 Race, is probably the most interesting and Patio will appreciate having her sights lowered.
David Marnane is the filly's third trainer in a short but busy career and has set her some stiff assignments, including a Listed race won by Psalm and her last-start second to the exciting Kargali.
She sets the standard at this level, but Motafaany has more to give after just three starts, while Ready To Rocknroll and Unquenchable Fire are closely matched on their Cork form.
Princess Nicole was a costly failure at Tramore but gets the opportunity to atone in division two of the Congrats To Deora & Julie Handicap.
Michael Grassick's mare beat all bar Green Mile in the Ulster Cesarewitch prior to that and a repeat performance puts her right in the firing line, although Frutti Tutti, Tipper Road, Molton Rock and Aldocos are all at the top of their game.
Aldocos finished second to Holly Hill last time and that one bids to supplement her Down Royal success in the Tote Placepot Races 1 To 6 Handicap.
She has Just Like Ivy to beat, while improvement from Charlie Swan's Jaillissante wouldn't surprise.
Swan gives a fencing debut to Adajal in the Tom 'The Deadly' Brennan Beginners Chase and he has to be one for any shortlist given his recent success over timber.
Keaveney wasn't a spent force when coming to grief at Roscommon and presents a stern challenge, as does smart dual-purpose performer Quinmaster.
Champion Bumper sixth Total Excitement tackles obstacles for the first time in the I.I.B.A. (Western Region) Maiden Hurdle, while course specialist Oxalido will be tough to beat as he
goes for his fourth win on the bounce in the 'Come Racing In Ballinrobe 2009' Handicap Hurdle.
