Three Rocks Mares Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 14:45 | Winning time: 5m 15.30s

An Rinceoir Alainn¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: P Maher

40/1

Winner between the flags in October but no signs of promise in a number of chase starts before pulling up after the second last when tailed off a Tipperary on hurdling debut last month.

Form: 16P-FP

Ask Your Mother^t⁵²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: A W Short⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Smith| OR: 86

50/1

Well held in four dismal starts over hurdles so far including a 37L reversal at Tramore when last seen in April. May find this a tough assignment.

Form: 9009-

Belle West^p1⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: W J Burke| OR: 81

14/1

Seven-race maiden hurdler who has shown little in the way of enthusiasm in a number of starts under both codes since the turn of the year. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 6/4F007-

Caddy Shack²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr J P Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry| OR: 85

20/1

Has looked moderate in point-to-points, bumpers and five starts over hurdles. Difficult to make a case for and very little to be positive about.

Form: 06077-5

Don't Tell Mom^t1,v1¹⁰¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: T O'Connor

40/1

Pulled up on hurdling debut at Cork over 12 months ago. Has shown little aptitude in her three latest point-to-point contests since December and unlikely to be playing a part in the finish here in first-time visor.

Form: P2P545-

Each Way⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan| OR: 90

8/1

Nothing of note in three career starts to date including finishing 11th of 19 in a Cork maiden hurdle when last seen in April. On balance, has plenty to find in this contest.

Form: 080-

Georgia Grace^p⁷¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: Miss H McLoughlin| OR: 80

33/1

Has made nine starts over timber without threatening. Fifth of 10 beaten 18L on latest start in March in a Cork maiden hurdle over 2m2½f. Others appear to have more scope for improvement.

Form: 4/088P5-

Midnight Surprise⁶¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: S J Treacy| OR: 90

4/1

Has produced a couple of encouraging runs together at Clonmel and Wexford in recent months and repeat of that form should see her in the hunt for more prize money.

Form: 4P06/44-

Ok Jk^t⁹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: S F Magee

40/1

Not much to shout about in a couple of bumper starts before a desolate effort on hurdling debut at Navan in March, eventually beaten 114L. Is hard to enthuse over in this company.

Form: 080-

Peterstown³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: T Gibney| OR: 100

7/2

Unable to halt dismal run of form in maiden and handicap hurdle starts since the turn of the year. Still looking no nearer to a breakthrough success.

Form: 955808-

Wetbehindtheears^p1⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: J G Bennett| OR: 103

3/1

Generally running well in defeat in a number of maiden hurdle starts to date bar a slight hiccup at Limerick last month. Likely to go well in first-time cheekpieces and should be among the leading players.

Form: P/164-46

Ainmisfearr^t²²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 88

7/1

Failed to figure in a bumper and four maiden hurdle starts before suffering a 12L reversal on handicap debut at Tramore last month. Hasn't shown enough to be of interest here.

Form: 00F00-7

Minx Tiara²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D M O'Brien

11/2

Three-race maiden, not disgraced on maiden hurdle debut at Killarney last month. In a rickety looking renewal the daughter of Doyen is entitled to make the shortlist.

Form: 359-5

Forecasts

Wetbehindtheears (3/1), Peterstown (7/2), Midnight Surprise (4/1), Minx Tiara (11/2), Ainmisfearr (7/1), Each Way (8/1), Belle West (14/1), Caddy Shack (20/1), Georgia Grace (33/1), Ok Jk (40/1), An Rinceoir Alainn (40/1), Don't Tell Mom (40/1), Ask Your Mother (50/1)

MIDNIGHT SURPRISE has been running well in defeat in a couple of starts since returning to the fold in March and can continue her improvement here. The eight-year-old can hold off the potential challenge from Wetbehindtheears in first-time cheekpieces and progressive type, Minx Tiara who can build on a solid maiden hurdle debut at Killarney last month.
