Long Island Sound strives to stretch his unbeaten career record to three in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Race at Killarney on Tuesday.
Aidan O'Brien's War Front colt, who cost $800,000 as a yearling, has scored twice on the Dundalk all-weather and tackles turf for the first time with a possible view to justifying his Group One entries in the St James's Palace Stakes and the Coral-Eclipse.
He faces just the three rivals but it is far from a penalty kick because Elusive Heights impressed when making a successful start to his career at Naas, while The Moore Factor strode away from his Gowran opposition in testing conditions. World Of Good appears out of her depth, though.
Erysimum absolutely demolished her rivals at Sligo recently, and her revised figure of 87 means she sets the standard in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Race.
She also has the edge in fitness over the returning Gilded Reflection and Remarkable Lady, who aren't rated too far below Willie McCreery's three-year-old.
Limerick runner-up Vocal Experience has a similar advantage over the reappearing Hazamar and Kitten Loves Roses in the opening Celtic Steps The Show At Killarney Racecourse (C & G) Maiden (5.15), with the trio officially separated by just 2lb, but the one to beat could be O'Brien's Monarch, who was turned over at odds-on on debut but is still in a couple of Derbys.
Ebayya was most disappointing on her comeback in the Victor McCalmont Memorial Stakes but her two Listed placings last autumn mean that Michael Halford's filly will be a tough nut to crack in the www.killarneyraces.ie Race.
Spruce Meadows tries to supplement his recent Dundalk success, where he shared the spoils, in the Join Tote Rewards Today At thetote.com Handicap, while Le Vagabond reverts to the level for the Follow Us On Facebook Handicap on the back of a hurdling victory.
