Connolly's RED MILLS Irish EBF Mares Auction Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 13:50 | Winning time: 5m 2.2s

Mizz Monroe¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: B J Geraghty| T: Peter Fahey

16/1

Began to show a bit more promise when stepped up to 2m4f at Tipperary last time out. Still needs a fair bit more than that to get competitive here.

Form: 9-084

Coillte Eile¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Flanagan| T: Ms Debbie Hartnett

9/1

Point-to-point winner who has posted respectable efforts both on her hurdles debut and again in a bumper last time. Can improve again here back over hurdles and can probably get involved.

Form: 3175

Court Maid⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: D J Mullins| T: T Mullins| BF

4/11

Galway bumper winner whose latest effort on hurdles debut at Listowel was in a race that has worked out well. Claims.

Form: 37-2142

Flemen Majic³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: J B Kane⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 88

16/1

Has failed to complete in two of her last three races and was well held in between. Can only watch.

Form: 855-U0U

Glebe Girl⁷⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: A McCurtin⁽³⁾| T: J J Walsh| OR: 95

14/1

0-17 but has run some respectable races in defeat. Looks capable of getting involved in the battle for minor honours in this field.

Form: 2556-05

The Full Office¹⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-3| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: G Ahern

66/1

Failed to show much of anything when tried three times in this discipline in the spring. One to watch for the moment.

Form: PP-77

Whatucallher^t1¹⁵⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: A E Lynch| T: E P Harty

7/1

Ran well enough in a couple of bumpers in the spring and if she can jump on this hurdles debut, then she could be a contender.

Form: 5-2

Forecasts

Court Maid (4/11), Whatucallher (7/1), Coillte Eile (9/1), Glebe Girl (14/1), Flemen Majic (16/1), Mizz Monroe (16/1), Roxys Holly (33/1), Family Business (33/1), The Full Office (66/1)

A modest opener can probably go to COURT MAID, whose first run over hurdles was a decent effort in itself and that form has now been franked. Coillte Eile and Glebe Girl could both battle for the minors, though a bigger danger could be hurdles newcomer Whatucallher.
