Bang Bang Rosie¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins

4/7

Plenty to like about her maiden hurdle win at Limerick last month on good ground over 2m3f following on from a couple of encouraging runs since February. Ticks a lot of boxes here.

4/1

Finally got off the mark in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle over 2m4f on soft to heavy ground when last seen in November when keeping on well under plenty of pressure to beat 15 rivals ½L. Needs to eke out more again here.

33/1

Kalanisi filly who cost €2,200 as a three-year-old, finished tailed off in a Fairyhouse bumper in December on her first start before well beaten at 100/1 on maiden hurdle debut last month.

7/2

Point-to-point winner and landed a Sligo bumper over this trip in August before weakening to finish eighth of 18 well held in a Clonmel maiden hurdle when last seen in November. Will possibly need the run here.

100/1

Poor low-grade 46-rated handicapper on the Flat well beaten on all 10 career starts and very little to be positive about.

Forecasts

Bang Bang Rosie (4/7), Holding Pattern (15/8), Sunrise Lady (7/2), Osco Mosco (4/1), Duke's Girl (16/1), Mollys Boxty (33/1), Agatha Rose (100/1)

The Jessica Harrington and Willie Mullins pair Holding Pattern and BANG BANG ROSIE look a different level to some of the opposition here with preference for the winner of a Limerick mares' maiden hurdle over 2m3f last month and comes in to the race with the most consistent form of the two. The Gordon Elliott-trained Osco Mosco can give the duo the most to think about.
