Clonmel hosts an eight race flat card this evening and Noel Meade's Encapsulation should be hard to beat as she looks to build on a fine debut run.
This daughter of Zoffany caught the eye at leopardstown earlier this month when she finished a good fourth to the classy Tarnawa.
This race looks an easier assignment and the benefit of that initial outing should stand to her. Just five runners have turned out for the Tipperary Cup, where
Rashaan is bidding to win the race for the third year in a row.
Rashaan is top weight but only two pounds higher than when defeating laid Back luke 12 months ago.
The versatile eight-year-old was a respectable third in the Red mills Hurdle when he was last seen in action so fitness will not be an issue.
Rashaan also relishes the demands posed by Clonmel which gives cause for hope that he will be able to reverse recent form with Chess Grand master.

Jessica Harrington looks to have good prospects of a double which can begin with Bar Room Bore in the median Auction maiden.
This gelding improved on his unplaced juvenile outing to finish a neck second in a Cork maiden less than two weeks ago.
Harrington can also land the concluding event with Conron, who could be set for a good season on the flat.
