Adare Mares Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 18:10 | Winning time: 5m 39.40s

Bluesea Storm¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Phillip Enright| T: G Ahern

250/1

No signs of encouragement in a couple of initial starts over hurdles in February earlier this year. Hard to recommend on return to action.

Form: 00-

Coosan Clover¹¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: B J Cooper| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 97

14/1

Three-race maiden. Not disgraced in a number of efforts over hurdles since December. Not to be written off just yet with step up in trip likely to suit.

Cornhill Lass⁹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: H P Cleary⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins

50/1

Yet to hit the frame in three starts over hurdles in February and March this year. Steps up in trip on return to action and needs a few to falter in this contest.

Courting Vickie

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: J Barcoe

100/1

Daughter of Court Cave out of an Old Vic mare. Sister to 2m hurdle winner The Holy One. Best watched on debut.

Form:

Dame De Ruban¹¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: D Queally

40/1

Turgeon mare. Running well in defeat in a couple of point-to-point efforts in October/November last year. Well down the field in a Clonmel bumper when last seen in February on rules debut. Hard to fancy.

Form: 4/0336-

Etincelle Lioterie^t¹⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien

11/2

Not disgraced in four bumper starts in the last 18 months. Worthy of consideration on hurdling debut for respected and patient connections.

Form: 32524/4-

Fireball Breeze⁹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: Michael C Griffin

80/1

Daughter of Milan out of a Be My Native mare. Not disgraced but out of the frame in three point-to-point starts between April last year and March this time round. Watching brief on debut.

Form: 5/55-

Flying Risk⁹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| C

1/1

Running with plenty of credit in her first couple of starts over hurdles at Fairyhouse and in two more efforts at Navan and Wexford earlier this year. Clear and obvious chance on return to action.

Form: 16323-

Mystery Stowaway¹⁶⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: D J Mullins| T: J P Ryan| OR: 108

10/1

Listowel bumper winner in September but only fair maiden form in five starts so far over timber including at Listed level when last seen in January. Up in trip and should not be easily dismissed.

Form: 274309-

Papal Pearl¹⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington

4/1

A little bit hit and miss last season but ran some good races in defeat showing plenty of promise. From a yard in good form on the Flat and worth a check in the market in this company.

Form: 96/3564-

Realpolitik²⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Hanlon

125/1

Pulled up on hurdling debut when last July in a Killarney maiden. Six-race maiden on the Flat and unlikely to be troubling the judge in this line-up.

Form: P-

Tick Along¹⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T G McCourt

150/1

Three-race maiden over hurdles, tailed off on each occasion including when last seen in a Navan 2m4f contest in January. Appears to have plenty to prove in a race of this nature.

Form: 9040-

Vintage Queen

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: D Robinson⁽³⁾| T: H De Bromhead

16/1

Daughter of Milan out of a Alphabatim mare. Closely related to An Cathaoir Mor, decent sort over the larger obstacles. Worth a check in the market on debut for respected connections.

Form:

Winter Belle^t²⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: C P McNamara⁽⁵⁾| T: E McNamara

150/1

Daughter of Kayf Tara out of a French bred mare. Very little to be positive about following a couple of dismal efforts at Listowel and Roscommon in September last year.

Form: 00-

Aodhan May⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: K J Brouder| T: C Byrnes

22/1

Vinnie Roe filly. Limitations firmly exposed on all three starts in bumpers and makes no appeal on hurdling debut with handicaps looking a better option in future.

Forecasts

Flying Risk (1/1), Papal Pearl (4/1), Etincelle Lioterie (11/2), Mystery Stowaway (10/1), Gallopongray (12/1), Coosan Clover (14/1), Vintage Queen (16/1), Aodhan May (22/1), Tinas Glory (25/1), Aidacon (25/1), Dame De Ruban (40/1), Cornhill Lass (50/1), Kayla's Delight (66/1), Fireball Breeze (80/1), Courting Vickie (100/1), Realpolitik (125/1), Tick Along (150/1), Winter Belle (150/1), Bluesea Storm (250/1)

FLYING RISK in the colours of owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede can get off the mark at the fourth time of asking over hurdles to add to her win in a 2m bumper at this venue in July last year. The five-year-old for trainer and jockey combination of Gordon Elliott/Davy Russell can get the better of lively dangers in the shape of Coosan Clover for trainer J J Hanlon and Etincelle Lioterie who is being persevered with by patient connections. Mystery Stowaway, Papal Pearl and newcomer Vintage Queen could be worth a check in the market as post time looms.
