Molson Coors Laffy Bar Mares Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 18:55 | Winning time: 4m 19.9s

Little Light¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 12-0| J: S A Shortall| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 113

11/2

Nicely bred Walk In The Park mare cost £200,000 at Aintree Sales 12 months ago. Off the mark in good style in a maiden hurdle at Sligo two weeks ago. Improving all the time and a player once more now making handicap debut.

Form: 52245-1

Beat Of The Sea¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: S Fahey| OR: 107

8/1

Showed improved form of late in maiden hurdles finishing second in competitive events at Kilbeggan and Sligo of late. Makes handicap debut here and should be more to come.

Form: 42-2

Reine Fee^p,t⁷¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: S Crawley| OR: 106

7/1

Has shown improved form of late having finished a good second at Down Royal she followed that up by winning at Clonmel last time. Another 5lbs higher here which asks more again but is going the right way.

Form: 3/04021-

Shimmer And Shine¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: A Ring| T: P Croke| OR: 104

6/1

Won a maiden hurdle at Tramore and followed that up last time with a solid effort back in handicap company last time. Up another 2lb and likes to get her toe in so any rain is a bonus.

Form: 864213-

Ayr Of Elegance¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-3| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 102

10/1

Looked in need of the run when returning to action at Kilbeggan last month. Well held there and handicapper has not really helped only dropping her 1lb. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 565078-

Dynamic Allen^t³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: K J Brouder⁽⁷⁾| T: B R Hamilton| OR: 101

5/1

Having shaped with promise on a few occasions she put it all together when a very good second in a big field at Fairyhouse last month. Nudged up 3lb for not winning but a repeat of that effort will see her go close.

Form: 408/402-

Blondes No More¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-4| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: E Griffin| OR: 89

8/1

Won a maiden hurdle at Clonmel this time last year. Looked in need of the run when returning from a lay off at Sligo two weeks ago. Should strip fitter here and not without a shout.

Form: 686/1F-7

Derecho Storm^h¹⁷⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Ms K Ferris⁽⁷⁾| T: Eoin Barry| OR: 86

33/1

Not seen since running poorly a few times on the bounce in the autumn. Returns from a six month break but will need to be at her best to be competitive here.

Form: 026PP0-

Jeremy's Delight¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 86

16/1

Seven-race maiden on the Flat, her career has been blighted by prolonged absences. Well held at Sligo two weeks ago and races off the same mark here. Plenty more needed.

Form: 708-0

Something Sweet²⁸⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: R J McGrath| OR: 85

6/1

Returns from a nine-month absence but will be of interest if returning in the same form as when a close second on her last two starts. Entitled to need the run but market check needed.

Form: 246422-

Sharp As A Pin¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: R K Watson| OR: 83

20/1

Not shown enough over hurdles so far to be of interest. Beaten a long way on handicap debut at Wexford two weeks ago and best watched for now.

Form: 00F0-

Ocean Voyage⁵⁰

Weight: 11-10| Age: 4

T: G Elliott J: Jack Kennedy

Forecasts

Ocean Voyage (10/3), Dynamic Allen (5/1), Little Light (11/2), Shimmer And Shine (6/1), Something Sweet (6/1), Reine Fee (7/1), Beat Of The Sea (8/1), Blondes No More (8/1), Ayr Of Elegance (10/1), Jeremy's Delight (16/1), Sharp As A Pin (20/1), Derecho Storm (33/1)

Dynamic Allen ran a cracker in a big field at Fairyhouse last month and a repeat of that effort will see here go close. Both LIttle Light and OCEAN VOYAGE are on an upward curve and should be bang there. Slight preference is for the latter who won very easily at Cork last time and can make a winning handicap debut.
