It's a trappy enough card at Killarney today and the ground is going to be quite testing so we're going to be quite selective with just the one bet which comes in division two of the mile handicap at 3.35.

DRAGON OF MALTA gets the vote as he'll definitely handle the conditions. He's still a maiden after a dozen starts but his two seconds have been on bad ground and he was fourth at Cork last Sunday where he travelled down to the two-pole going much the best before his effort petered out.

He was keen throughout there and drops back to a mile so on the back of that run, and another creditable effort at Galway beforehand, he gets a confident each-way vote with Sky Bet 11/2 four places at the time of writing.
