Tulsk Mares Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)

Off time: 16:41 | Winning time: 3m 55.60s

Above The City²¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: E Walsh⁽⁷⁾| T: D McDonogh

9/1

Competent and fairly consistent bumper performer winning when a well backed favourite at Ballinrobe; let down by mistakes on only appearance over hurdles in November; deserves another chance.

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell| D

33/1

Was an unexpected (33-1) winner of a mares only bumper at Cork in May 2017; hard to know what to expect after such a long absence from the track.

Form: 1/

Clancypantz¹⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-1| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: M Hourigan| OR: 97

10/1

Has plenty of experience over hurdles with best effort coming when finishing third of 17 beaten over 16L in a Thurles maiden hurdle; not the most consistent but knows her way around a racecourse.

Form: 7/84038-

Elusive Touch

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: L P Dempsey| T: M Brassil

80/1

Flat-bred; cheaply bought as a yearling; not much in pedigree to suggest she will make a decent hurdler; market might give best guide to her chances.

Form:

Mashell²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J R Wildman⁽⁷⁾| T: P W Flynn

100/1

Well beaten in bumpers, on the AW and on turf on the Flat here on Monday; hard to see her being capable of being involved in the finish.

Form: 00-

Moll Dote¹¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: D F O'Regan| T: D Queally| OR: 86| BF

9/2

11-race maiden over hurdles, the daughter of Elusive Pimpernel produced a career best effort on her penultimate start at Punchestown in February; makes more appeal than most in this contest.

Form: 385/427-

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: S A Mulcahy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

7/1

Hit the frame on her first four starts in bumpers without ever looking like winning; disappointed on final start in a bumper in December in first-time cheekpieces which are left off here on hurdles debut.

Form: 32230-

Sea Reef²³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: S Ryan

200/1

Not particularly well bred but is related to some winning hurdlers; beaten 44L over 2m at Thurles on hurdling introduction in November; open to improvement but an unlikely winner.

Form: 00-

Shes Some Doll¹¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell

12/1

Well beaten and never a threat to principles in four starts in bumpers with the latest effort coming at Clonmel in February; could be a similar struggle over hurdles.

Form: 0485-

Sienna Rose¹⁰⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: P E Corbett| T: A Mullins

100/1

Well beaten on only racecourse appearance in similar race at Gowran Park in March; open to improvement but that first run was far from encouraging.

Form: 0-

Telmesomethinggirl¹⁶⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| D

1/1

Bought for £150,000 as a four-year-old; showed promise on hurdles debut at Fairyhouse in November but two disappointing subsequent runs would have disappointed connections; faster ground here may help.

Form: 1/350-

Ursus Belle²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J G Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan

125/1

Seven-race maiden on the turf and AW with just one placed effort to her name; interesting recruit to hurdling and it would be no surprise to see her put in a good performance.

Form:

Floating Around^h1¹¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: A Slattery

40/1

Nothing of note in three career starts on the Flat last summer and a faller on her hurdling debut at Clonmel in March; difficult to assess and first-time headgear does not inspire too much confidence.

Form: F-

Raining Bird

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Brian Hayes| T: J P Dempsey

40/1

Reserve 1 Third foal; half-sister to chase winner Youcantcallhertha; interesting to see what the market makes of her chance if lining up.

Forecasts

Telmesomethinggirl (1/1), Sani Pass (4/1), Moll Dote (9/2), Skyace (5/1), More Info (7/1), Above The City (9/1), Clancypantz (10/1), Shes Some Doll (12/1), Scarlet Revera (14/1), Treasure Mountain (33/1), Floating Around (40/1), Raining Bird (40/1), Elusive Touch (80/1), Mashell (100/1), Sienna Rose (100/1), Ursus Belle (125/1), Sea Reef (200/1)

SANI PASS makes her racecourse debut here but has had one point-to-point outing when finishing runner-up in October. If able to improve on that run after long absence then she may go very well. Stablemate Telmesomethinggirl was an expensive purchase last year but has proved disappointed. She should encounter better ground today and may be worth giving another chance to. Ursus Belle has plenty of experience of racing and looks a very interesting recruit to hurdling.
