Proven course performer Deressa out to secure valuable prize in €200k Gowran Classic
Beware of bookies bearing gifts is normally sound advice, but not at Gowran Park's bank holiday Monday fixture where free entry to the track is being sponsored by the Irish National Professional Bookmakers Association. It coincides with a second running of the €200,000 Irish Stallion Farms Gowran Classic, the richest race of the year at the Co Kilkenny course. The winner will receive free entry into the Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby later this month or into the Juddmonte Irish Oaks if a filly is successful. That proved the case a year ago as Fleur De Chine was successful for Jessica Harrington . The Moone trainer has two of the 11 runners lining up at Gowran Park this time for a race designed to try to boost opportunities for middle-distance bred horses in Ireland. Harrington's number one jockey Shane Foley has opted for Nancy J. READ MORE Top-rated is the Ballydoyle filly Heavens Gate, who landed a valuable sales race as well as a Group Three last year. However, she has failed to fire in a pair of starts this season and beat only two home in the French 1,000 Guineas. This trip of almost 10 furlongs could stretch her stamina. Joseph O'Brien has four shots, with And So To Bed the apparent first choice. But it is Deressa that could prove a solution. She has won twice already this season at Gowran to reach a rating of 93. Of all the runners, the filly bred by the late Aga Khan shapes perhaps as the one most open to progress. A stall one draw is no impediment to her chances either. The other bank holiday fixture is in Listowel, Co Kerry, where champion jumps jockey Paul Townend will fancy his chances of winning on both his mounts. La Note Verte is a course bumper winner from last year who goes in the opening hurdle, while Blood Destiny's rating makes him a standout in a later chase. In other news, Monday will also see an important latest forfeit stage for next weekend's Betfred Epsom Derby and it is set to see the unbeaten Aga Khan colt Midak supplemented into the 'Blue Riband' at a cost of £75,000 (about €89,000). Epsom's authorities have titled this year's Derby in honour of the late Aga Khan, who died in February. Shergar was the first of five Derby winners to carry his famous green silks. Midak won the Prix Greffulhe at Saint-Cloud on his last start, after which his trainer Francis-Henri Graffard recommended a tilt at Epsom. 'He's unbeaten in three starts, we know he gets the trip, he's got the right kind of character to be able to handle Tattenham Corner and all the noise that comes with the Epsom Derby,' Zahra Aga Khan, daughter of the late Aga Khan, said. 'It's nice to have a runner this year because the race is being run in honour of my father, and [Midak's] done everything he should to be a valid runner in the Epsom Derby.' Another potential supplementary entry into the Derby from France is the Juddmonte-owned colt New Ground. Pour Moi, in 2011, was the last of 10 French-trained Epsom Derby winners.

The week ahead in business: ECB to cut rates, CSO figures and a roadshow
This would be the eighth rate cut in a year, as the ECB evidently decides that the battle against inflation is largely won. The latest consumer price figures from France, Italy and Spain probably sealed the deal. French inflation dropped to 0.6pc in May, while prices in Spain were 1.9pc higher, down from the 2.2pc seen in April. Investors are expecting one more rate reduction this year, which would mean the ECB's deposit rate would stabilise at about 1.75pc. The announcement from the ECB will be followed, within a few hours, by the latest Irish exchequer returns. These will give us an indication as to whether the economic uncertainty being caused by US president Donald Trump's trade war are showing up in tax returns. The last Exchequer returns, in April, showed tax receipts in the first quarter were 17.5pc up on the same period last year. Some of that is down to the Apple settlement, which was ordered by the European Court of Justice. By now, almost all of that has been paid, and will no longer give corporation tax figures an artificial boost. Creating something of a statistical overload on Thursday, the CSO will produce monthly unemployment figures. These may show a slight loosening in the labour market, again due to the uncertainty over on-again off-again US tariffs. The CSO will have quarterly national accounts that day too. Research Ireland will host a forum in the Aviva Stadium on Thursday. The funding agency, established last year, says it will be a hybrid full-day event bringing together government, academia and enterprise to discuss areas of strategic important for research. Speakers will include Professor Aoife McLysaght, a government science adviser, journalist Mark Little and minister James Lawless. ISME, the representative body for small and medium-sized companies, is having a roadshow at the Talbot Hotel in Stillorgan on Friday, with the guest speaker being entrepreneur Brian Keegan. Finally, there will be financial results from FD Technologies, and from Wizz Air.
