Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase

Off time: 14:50 | Winning time: 4m 14.70s

Asthuria^h⁴⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| BF| D

1/3

Showed plenty of promise in the spring including a win in a Listed mares hurdle at Killarney in May before beaten favourite on seasonal and chasing debut at Thurles in November. No mistakes expected today.

Form: FF51-12

Daisy Chicks¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: E O'Grady

33/1

Below-par 87-rated hurdler who won a point-to-point in October. May find this a tough introduction and not expected to play a hand in the finish despite first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 6-01759

Don't Let Go¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Dwyer

20/1

Tailed off in 2m beginners' chase on heavy ground at Punchestown before falling at the third in a Leopardstown beginners chase last month. Looks opposable here.

Form: 00-419F

Girly Girl⁵²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 125| D

4/1

Nine-race maiden over the larger obstacles and prone to the odd mistake. Unseated rider when still in touch blundering five out. Worth a market check with yard not out of the woods yet.

Form: 3FF30-U

Golden Flowerpower^p³⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D J McInerney⁽⁵⁾| T: C Bowe| OR: 102| D

10/1

Distance winner but without a win in three efforts in his chasing career. Others look to be progressing quicker and needs to up her game here.

Form: P-29056

Larkfield Lass⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: A E Lynch| T: R P Rath

40/1

Winning point-to-pointer who failed to hit the frame in seven starts over hurdles and well beaten 85L - despite finishing third - on chasing debut at Limerick last month.

Form: 0C1503

Forecasts

Asthuria (1/3), Girly Girl (4/1), Golden Flowerpower (10/1), Don't Let Go (20/1), Daisy Chicks (33/1), Larkfield Lass (40/1)

It can be accepted that ASTHURIA will have had his jumping sorted before coming in to this race following a couple of errors on chasing debut at Thurles in November. Don't Let Go or Golden Flowerpower could pip Girly Girly for the place available.
