IWP Home Improvement Centre Mares Handicap Hurdle

Course winner that has won over this trip winning a Down Royal maiden hurdle last month on her first start since February. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Won a Clonmel handicap hurdle over 2m4f on good to yielding ground in June and has continued to run solidly throughout the season without getting her nose in front of a 15lb higher mark. Looks in need of some relief from the handicapper.

Steady progress last season improving a total of 8lb thanks to a win in a Thurles in March on soft to heavy. Others hold stronger profiles.

Victorious at Clonmel over an extended 2m1f on heavy ground in February. Had run well twice since including returning to hurdles, before falling at the first at the Punchestown festival.

Has run with quite amount of consistency over the summer including a win in a Cork maiden hurdle over 2m,before well beaten last time out. Others preferred.

Course winner that has won over the distance. Generally consistent over the summer but seemed to struggle off her new mark at Sligo following a win at Listowel last month. Others hold stronger profiles.

Not disgraced in a couple of efforts in maiden hurdles including second of 14 last time out at Limerick. Will be expected to improve on handicap debut.

Not a lot to shout about over the spring and summer suffering a number of heavy defeats. Requires a chunk of improvement to land a blow here.

Won a Wexford handicap hurdle last month beating 13 rivals on good ground following a fairly disappointing season. May struggle off new mark.

Has put in some rock-solid performances in three summer starts including two runner-up positions recently. Needs to improve to take a hand in this company.

Won a Tramore handicap hurdle in August beating 15 rivals over 2m on yielding ground, before toiling off her new mark at Ballinrobe. Looks vulnerable in this company.
