Earlier this week the chances of today's Wexford meeting going ahead seemed virtually nil, so it is hoped that the course executive will be rewarded for their efforts with a good attendance, and a Jackpot carry-over of over £5,000 should certainly prove a big help.

Sambara, beaten in a valuable staying hurdle by her stable companion, Welsh Grit, at Galway last Saturday, switches to the Flat in the Handicap and even with top-weight must have winning prospects. She was staying on strongly when second to Rainbow Frontier at Killarney and over this extra two furlongs should hold the challenge of Nymph In The Ski.

Hurmuzan, after two useful bumper wins, was favourite to make a winning start over hurdles at Tipperary last month. His jumping let him down and he managed only fifth place. He should show the benefit of that run in the Talbot Hotel Maiden Hurdle.

Deireadh An Sceal ran a cracking race at Galway when chasing home Frau Dante. The winner has been successful again since and even over this shorter distance, Deireadh An Sceal is hard to oppose.

Michael Grassick's stable is having a splendid run and San Sebastian, a course and distance winner last month, should complete a hat-trick by landing the Nick O'Donnell Memorial Handicap.

Cori Nakatani, suspended a month for elbowing an apprentice out of the saddle after a race at Del Mar last Sunday, has decided not to appeal.
