The Derby might be gone but the Irish Oaks and Juvenile Derby continue the top class theme at Shelbourne while the Irish St.Leger is another powerful attraction at Limerick.
Given the competition in the Juvenile Derby with two identically aged unbeaten runners and just a spot between them in the last round, both Man Twenty One and Droopys Noah make the cut. Droopys Harbour, who has probably appeared in this column more than any other hound this year, get a third Shelbourne nomination for her 28.16 run in the Oaks.
Dual classic winner Clonbrien Hero went quickest in the Leger, while defending champ Aulton Jet, who was probably the most listed runner in this column last year went best in the Fair Warrior Sprint at Mullingar and is once again the one they all have to beat.
