Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase

Off time: 13:45 | Winning time: 5m 4.0s

Agusta Gold¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| D

4/5

Solid effort from the daughter of Gold Well on her first couple of completions over the larger obstacles. Likely to improve on her third of seven beaten 2½L at Fairyhouse earlier this month.

Form: 1332-33

Ballybrowney Walk^h³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: J J Mangan| OR: 96

14/1

Not disgraced in a number of starts over fences but it's hard to ignore the fact the daughter of Califet is still looking no nearer to a breakthrough success in 13 chase starts.

Form: 2-P7P47

Belle West^p²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Darragh O'Keeffe⁽³⁾| T: W J Burke

8/1

Modest 90-rated handicap hurdler the daughter of Westerner improved from first to second start over fences, finishing third of 10 beaten 2¾L in a Sligo beginners contest over 2m1f last month. Not one to rule out.

Form: 07-3103

Brogine¹⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-7| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: S Braddish| D

25/1

Winner over this trip in a Limerick handicap hurdle in May. Has produced a number of laboured efforts so far over fences and has plenty to find in this contest.

Form: 10PU66

Darling Miss^b⁶⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| D

3/1

Useful 125-rated handicap hurdler has finished runner-up on three consecutive occasions over the larger obstacles the latest of which came at Tramore in August. Commands plenty of respect.

Form: 112222

Fur Elise^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: P E Corbett| T: Mrs D A Love

25/1

Nine-race maiden in bumper company and in five dismal efforts over hurdles. Market likely to reveal connections expectations on chasing introduction in this contest.

Form: 53-0760

Inishbel^t¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: C Bowe

6/1

110-rated winning hurdler posted a career best effort in three starts over the larger obstacles when running Tintangle to 2L in a Fairyhouse beginners contest earlier this month over 2m. Could be of interest stepping up in trip.

Form: 412P32

Kilkarney Mai³²⁹

Age: 11| Weight: 11-7| J: S J Gray⁽³⁾| T: T Shanahan

66/1

Modest 80-rated handicap hurdler. Not seen since finishing down the field at this venue over timber 11 months ago. Unlikely to be troubling the judge on chasing introduction.

Forecasts

Agusta Gold (4/5), Sinoria (11/10), Darling Miss (3/1), Inishbel (6/1), Belle West (8/1), Ballybrowney Walk (14/1), Fur Elise (25/1), Brogine (25/1), Kilkarney Mai (66/1)

The Mags Mullins-trained, AGUSTA GOLD can win over the larger obstacles at the third time of asking following a couple of progressive efforts at Killarney and more recently Fairyhouse. The Daughter of Gold Well can get the better of her closest rivals, the Gordon Elliott-trained Darling Miss and Inishbel who posted a career best effort in three starts over the larger obstacles when running Tintangle to 2L in a Fairyhouse beginners contest earlier this month with Augusta Gold back in third. Sinoria, rated 142 over hurdles is worthy of a check in the market as post time approaches.
