Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 14:56 | Winning time: 4m 35.4s

Rain In Spain²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-10| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: C O'Brien| OR: 115

14/1

Experienced winner of four of his 16 starts over hurdles with the daughter of Jeremy's last win coming in a Thurles handicap hurdle in November off a 9lb lower mark. Beaten since but looks capable of grabbing a place.

Form: 62115-4

Put The Kettle On³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-8| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 113

13/8

Off the mark over hurdles for connections at the third time of asking when landing a Navan maiden in November. Recently seen winning over the larger obstacles at Kilbeggan last month and worthy of serious consideration in this kind of form.

Form: 2153-31

Dynamic Allen^t²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr D G Lavery⁽³⁾| T: B R Hamilton| OR: 110| C

5/1

Won her first hurdle start at the seventh attempt at this venue in a 2m1½f handicap last month off a 9lb lower mark. Beaten here since over longer trip and may well appreciate a drop in distance in this contest.

Form: 8/402-12

Beat Of The Sea¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: R P Treacy⁽⁵⁾| T: S Fahey| OR: 109

12/1

Finished 37L adrift of Dynamic Allen at this track last month before getting off the mark over hurdles at the fifth attempt earlier this month in a Kilbeggan mares hurdle over a similar trip. Worth a market check in current form.

Form: 42-271

Dollys Destination¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: C J Orr⁽⁵⁾| T: Gary McGill| OR: 107

9/2

Successful on her third start over timber when justifying odds-on favouritism when victorious by 6L in a 2m novice hurdle on good ground last month before a 7L defeat at Hexham. Leading player dropping in trip.

Form: 1496-12

In A Pinch¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: S Slevin| OR: 106

5/1

Came off a 12 month break to land the spoils in a Tramore handicap hurdle earlier this month over 2m5f. Likable type but 9lb rise for returning win and possible 'bounce' factor a concern.

Form: 057/11-1

Miss Chevious Girl⁹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 102

9/1

Looked slow on return to action at Limerick in March before having to be pulled up on heavy ground. Four-race maiden looks up against it here.

Forecasts

Put The Kettle On (13/8), Dollys Destination (9/2), In A Pinch (5/1), Dynamic Allen (5/1), Duke's Girl (7/1), Miss Chevious Girl (9/1), Beat Of The Sea (12/1), Rain In Spain (14/1), Comehere Hi (20/1)

Scorpion mare, IN A PINCH returned off the back of a 12 month break to land the spoils in a Tramore handicap hurdle earlier this month over 2m5f and appears capable of more improvement to make it four in a row. The six-year-old can get the better in the later stages of the contest of Put The Kettle On, winner at Kilbeggan last month and the solid and consistent, Dollys Destination.
