Tynwald Bish can land his third race in the competition with victory in the semi-finals of the Bar One Racing Irish Sprint Cup over 400 yards at Dundalk.

The English Derby runner-up recorded 21.31sec when wining last week, which was the joint fastest time of the round.

He is the only wide seed in the race and can sweep around the outside to score.

Hillcroft Hero looks the biggest threat.

John McGee’s runner was the other 21.31sec winner but that was from an inside draw and he now finds himself in trap four.

His kennelmate Slade Paddy is another useful runner, who has a 21.22sec on his card from the opening round.

Gerry Holian’s Slipalong Hero is another to consider. He has won two of his three qualifiers and has a 21.12sec on his card.

Trinity Forest will attempt to stay unbeaten the opening semi-final.

All traps come alike to the son of Forest Master who has won from the three inside boxes during the event and has won five races from six starts when wearing tonight’s black jacket.

Ante-post favourite Catherines Drico is a huge threat. Ronnie McKeown’s dog won the Islandbridge Sprint and won in the second round in 21.11sec. He’s well drawn on the fence.

Liam Dowling’s Bruno Ya Know is another to factor in after clocking a fastest of the competition 21.06sec in the second round.
