Listowel´s Harvest Festival meeting continues.

Another mixed card at Listowel today, with 4 flat races followed by 3 over jumps and a bumper. The opening mile maiden should go to Sunset Stanza (Dermot Weld/ Pat Smullen) but generally the N.H. events look stronger. The most valuable race is the handicap hurdle at 17.55, which looks wide open. Barry Geraghty won the big race here yesterday and can follow up on top-weight, Jessica Harrington´s The Bull Hayes, an easy winner at Killarney last time. Life of Reilly (Jon Kiely/ Mark Walsh) and Burma Rock (Willie Austin/ Adrian Leigh) - no relation to Peter Schiergen´s horse of the same name- look the main dangers.

1. Race: Sunset Stanza - Bancnuanaheireann - Ridayef
2. Race: Fred Fenster - Lord Windark - Gordon Lord Byron
3. Race: Darasal Wane - Independent Girl - Oh What A Kitten
4. Race: Monte Carlo - Domination - Dorset Square
