Racecard | 14:55 Gowran Racing Festival Next Weekend Handicap (60-95) | Gowran Park (IRE)

Having gone up just 14lb since the first of her three handicap victories this summer, connections of Words Of Wisdom can have no complaints and he must be in with a good chance of a hat-trick. Hadrian's Waltz is progressing nicely and is still looking on a fair mark and though Mamma Rosa has gone up 9lb for her smooth victory at Listowel she's another going the right way and should get competitive. The assessor had his revenge when Do The Bosanova won a Leopardstown handicap by an incredible 11 lengths and raised him 16lb, which has looked too much in his two subsequent starts, so LEROY PARKER looks the one to be on. Noel Meade's charge was always travelling well when scoring readily at Sligo and though he veered badly in the closing stages still won with plenty in hand and hopefully there won't be a repeat.
