Well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (good-to-yielding) on debut and again well held in a bumper at Cork a year ago.
€72,000 half-sister to some useful sorts, including the multiple winning hurdler/chaser Morning Royalty. Well beaten on both bumper starts, but this a lot easier than last time and rider booking is interesting.
Won a point-to-point on good ground but was still second in desperate ground on second rules start. Looked slow last time when trying 2m4f, but the same front-running tactics may be worth employing around here and back at a shorter trip.
Failed to figure in three bumpers so far most recently when ninth of fourteen at Tramore in December. That form will not be good enough.
Made a pleasing bumper debut in December but has failed to run to the same level despite market support. Has been given a break and connections may be waiting for better ground.
Yeats mare and first foal of an unraced half-sister to Champion Hurdle winner Binocular. Makes plenty of appeal with that pedigree, but yard are just 2-54 in bumpers since 2001.
Milan mare and the first foal of a dam who was a useful chaser. Yard are 0-30 in bumpers since 2008.
Has finished tailed off on on both starts and hard to see where she will find the necessary improvement.
Presenting mare out of a dam who won a bumper and over hurdles. Yard are 7-80 in bumpers since 1994.
Daughter of Beneficial out of a Supreme Leader mare related to Cooldine. Has shown little in either bumper start and a hood is tried this time.
Big Bad Bob filly out of a dam with a decent Flat pedigree being a half-sister to Irish Derby third Shalapour. Trainer has a career record of 27-278 in bumpers.
Presenting mare and the fist foal of an unraced mare. Granddam has produced some good horses such as Benvolio and On The Other Hand. Trainer 32-311 in bumpers over the past 20 years.

Chisholm Trail (2/1), Ifyoucatchmenow (5/2), Patriciadplasterer (10/3), Kilbarry Calling (8/1), Last One (14/1), Backsheesh (16/1), Praesagium Latina (20/1), Lady Sue (20/1), Absentee (33/1), Lady Mccabe (33/1), Oscars Sera (50/1), What A Benefit (66/1), Just Klass (66/1)
The presence of Ifyoucatchmenow may uphold the prices for some of the opposition and it would be no surprise to see the market swing against one of the weaker Mullins' mares. Backsheesh, Lady Mccabe and Patriciadplaster have the most interesting pedigrees of the debutantes so need to be checked in pre-race trading. Kilbarry Calling and Last One made pleasing debuts but have both disappointed since. CHISHOLM TRAIL has contested two stronger races than this and the booking of Patrick Mullins, plus the application of a tongue-tie, indicate that an improved display is planned.
- Chisholm Trail
- Backsheesh
- Ifyoucatchmenow
