Monroe's Live Mares Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 19:01 | Winning time: 3m 50.3s

Morga³⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: B R Dalton| T: D McDonogh| OR: 132| CD

9/1

Won over C&D off 10lb lower mark 22 months ago and was in good form when going very close in valuable event at Fairyhouse in December. Had a recent spin on the Flat after winter break and certainly not out of the reckoning.

Form: 742320-

Chambord Du Lys¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins| OR: 130| D

6/4

Consistent mare but has proven expensive to follow for favourite backers being turned over three times this winter when market leader. Won minor Clonmel event in February and a good runner-up in decent race last time out.

Form: 3/2216-2

The Nutcracker¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: J M Moore| T: T Gibney| OR: 125| CD

13/2

Won over C&D in May last year. Post decent effort at Killarney latest when third on return to the fray following winter break. Feasibly handicapped and expected to be in the thick of the action.

Form: 12538-3

Water Sprite^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott| OR: 122| D

11/1

Appeared to be in the handicapper's grip when last in action over timber and has subsequently had a mixed time of things over fences. Fair sort, but has to improve on previous form to trouble the judge.

Form: 3F81F-3

Flaviana⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: Danny Mullins| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 116| D

5/1

Has won three races over hurdles but has been chasing of late and unseated rider last time out early on. Drop back in trip might help, but may need more leeway from the handicapper.

Form: F4732-U

Danali³³

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Phillip Enright| T: J J Walsh| OR: 114

12/1

Struggled in good company on last two outings and not certain to appreciate this step back to the minimum trip. Others are preferred.

Form: 321470-

Is She Diesel¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Rachael Blackmore⁽³⁾| T: S Fahey| OR: 104

5/1

Maiden after five start but has shown ability and ran nicely when runner-up at Clonmel 11 days ago. More needed, but is still relatively unexposed and her chance is not totally discounted.

Form: 92762-2

Echo Lady^t²³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: A W Short⁽⁷⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 104

20/1

Absent for eight months and showed only moderate form last term. Has twice run satisfactorily in maiden hurdles at this track but needs to really up her game to figure - despite very low weight.

Form: 327489-

Forecasts

Chambord Du Lys (6/4), Tellthemnuttin (13/8), Is She Diesel (5/1), Flaviana (5/1), The Nutcracker (13/2), Morga (9/1), Water Sprite (11/1), Danali (12/1), My Painter (16/1), Echo Lady (20/1)

THE NUTCRACKER can make the most of the weight she receives from Tellthemnuttin and Morga in what could be an exciting contest. She shaped well recently and should be at her best now, so this previous C&D winner is of interest. Tellemnuttin drops back in trip and may be done for pace, aside of the fact that she carries a 10lb penalty, but Morga will be spot on after a recent pipe-opener and is very much respected. Chambord du Lys could be thereabouts, and Is She Diesel is worth a second glance if the market indicates any stable confidence.
