Early Bird New Year's Day Tickets Mares Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 12:27 | Winning time: 4m 18.9s

Cordovan Brown^t1²³²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle| D

6/1

Debut winner at Punchestown in October and ran well to finish runner-up in a Listed mares bumper at Navan subsequently. Well held when last seen in April and probably best watched with first-time tongue tie on hurdling debut.

Form: 12P0-

Getaway Katie Mai^h1⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mark Walsh| T: J Queally| BF| D

4/9

Plenty to like about her second of 11 beaten 1¾L in a Galway maiden hurdle in October. Big run on the cards in first-time hood.

Form: 2/121-2

All The Way West^h1³²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: L J Archdeacon

66/1

Fairly solid form in a number of point-to-point starts since April. Possibly better to look elsewhere from a yard without a winner in five years.

Form: 4-72332

Ask Neilus¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott

20/1

Hasn't really happened for her in four bumpers and finished down the field on hurdling introduction at Navan last month. Improvement needed here.

Form: 04085

Brazen Bay⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: C D Maxwell| T: J O Clifford

66/1

Nothing of note in four career starts to date including a couple of dismal efforts over hurdles. Liable to find a couple stronger.

Form: 7-898

Bridgets Cross¹¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: M A Enright| T: J Neilan

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden, has been running respectable races in bumpers of late, including latest at Kilbeggan in August. May need the education here on hurdling bow.

Form: P-07866

Darrens Diamond⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: N P Madden| T: R Murphy

50/1

Entitled to have needed the run on return to action in a Wexford bumper when last seen in October. Well held on all three career starts to date.

Form: D8-8

Goulane Jessie²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: S Spillane

33/1

Modest form in a number of point-to-point starts this year and finished well down the field on maiden hurdle debut at Listowel. Beaten 13L at Thurles last month but could perform better than a number of these.

Form: 428-474

Lady Lamplight³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: M A Cahill

100/1

Desperate form in three maiden hurdles to date, sent off a 100/1 on her last two starts and running accordingly each time. Others preferred.

Form: U00

Long Island Jenn²⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Brian Hayes| T: Miss D O'Shea

66/1

By Getaway out of a Revoque mare. Only got as far as the second on sole point-to-point start in April and difficult to muster any enthusiasm for hurdling debut here.

Form: U-

Niccolai²²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

6/1

Fair form in a couple of point-to-point starts in the spring and should be a leading contender for appealing trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 5-2

Remember Le Jumeau⁹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: P D Kennedy| T: P G Fahey

100/1

Daughter of Le Cadre Noir out of a Deep Society mare. Well beaten in a couple of dour bumper efforts recently. Hard to place any faith in on hurdling debut.

Form: 08

Roney^h,t⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan

10/1

Not disgraced in a couple of bumper appearances before a promising third of 14 beaten 2½L at Wexford on hurdling debut. One to consider on second start over timber.

Form: 353

Uffizy¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Danny Mullins| T: A Mullins

66/1

Arakan half-sister to several winning jumpers, but she was tailed off on bumper debut at Roscommon before another disappointing display on hurdling debut at Limerick last month. Plenty to prove at present.

Form: 08

Western Line

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: D E Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: E Cawley

66/1

Daughter of Westerner out of an Oscar mare. Entitled to need the run on debut for a yard just two from 28 starts this term.

The J P McManus-owned GETAWAY KATIE MAI can build on hurdle maiden hurdle run at Galway when second of 11 in October by landing the opener.
