Sheridan Electric Mares Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 15:10 | Winning time: 5m 33.20s

Costly Diamond^t¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: P J Cawley⁽⁷⁾| T: B Cawley| OR: 89

9/1

Unplaced in six starts over hurdles, including recent stable bow at Killarney (2m1f, good; 14-1) when fading to 38L ninth of 14 having raced prominently throughout.

Form: 06507-9

Eddies Pride^h,t¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: N Lee| OR: 80

33/1

Poor form in maiden hurdles last year and twice well fended off in point-to-points this spring; folded quickly on h'cap bow at Bellewstown (2m4f, good; 50-1) recently when sporting first-time hood (retained). Lots to work on.

Form: 609/P5-P

Famous Escape²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁵⁾| T: P F McEnery

25/1

Fame And Glory mare; achieved little in four bumpers during last season and 23L defeat on hurdles/seasonal bow at Kilbeggan (2m4f, good; 40-1) last month. Needs significant improvement.

Form: 0059-9

Imperial Allure^t⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: D F O'Regan| T: G Elliott

11/1

Modest form in bumpers but went off 9-2 on hurdles bow at Downpatrick (2m2f, good) last week; never a threat having jumped slowly in that contest but remains early days and top trainer should get better from her soon.

Form: 64-50

It Takes Time²⁸⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: K Smith

12/1

Shaped well in trio of summer bumpers last year, though not as good when last sighted at Fairyhouse in October; returns for hurdling debut and should be more to come in this sphere before too long.

Form: UP/4540-

Let Her Flow^p1²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr L P Gilligan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Gilligan| OR: 83

18/1

Not disgraced in mares maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan (2m4f, good, 33-1) last month (might have finished close then 19L sixth bar mistake at the last); cheekpieces added here and she should run her race.

Form: U098P-6

Mashell^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: L P Dempsey| T: P W Flynn

18/1

Beaten combined tally of 103L in maiden hurdles at Roscommon (2m, good; 100-1) and Kilbeggan (2m4f, good to yielding; 80-1) recently; has work do with cheekpieces back on here.

Form: 00-54

Mind Your Step²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Danny Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| OR: 85

15/2

Milan mare is 0-5 over timber and comes here on the back of a fall at Kilbeggan (2m4f, good; 33-1) last month; she was still going well at the second last prior to that mishap so cannot be discounted.

Form: 0450-F

Realpolitik¹⁸

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

10/1

Decent effort in a 2m6f Limerick maiden hurdle on seasonal bow last month (fifth, beaten 18½L; 125-1) but since been pulled up in lacklustre Bellewstown showing (broken blood vessel) so hard to know what to expect now.

Form: P-5P

Shes Some Doll²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: J M Moore| T: G P Cromwell

3/1

Yeats mare ran well for a long way on hurdles introduction at Roscommon (2m, good; 12-1) last month before tiring; up in trip with that run behind her and can likely do better.

Form: 0485-6

The Three Wizards²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead

5/1

Won a point-to-point by 8L in February 2019; racecourse form to date has been reasonable without necessarily suggesting a win is imminent; had some of these behind when fifth at Kilbeggan on comeback and could do with settling in the early stages.

Form: 1/500-5

Will You Win^t1¹²²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: B Browne⁽⁵⁾| T: O McKiernan| OR: 95

5/1

Made a better first of things on third hurdles start at Downpatrick in March; albeit needs more still. Tongue-tied here and has scope for improvement.

Form: 0009-

Worldly Approach⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: J S McGarvey| T: J J Hanlon

100/1

Daughter of Dawn Approach made a promising start in a Huntingdon bumper in October (sixth) but has fared less well in three recent runs in this country; second runner for Shark Hanlon and something to prove on hurdles bow.

Form: 6-000

Forecasts

Shes Some Doll (3/1), Will You Win (5/1), The Three Wizards (5/1), Mind Your Step (15/2), Costly Diamond (9/1), Realpolitik (10/1), Imperial Allure (11/1), It Takes Time (12/1), Mashell (18/1), Let Her Flow (18/1), Famous Escape (25/1), Eddies Pride (33/1), Arthur's Baby (50/1), Worldly Approach (100/1)

The Three Wizards has been fairly consistent in this sphere without winning and would stand a decent chance if she can be convinced to race with more restraint. Imperial Allure was prominent in the betting for her hurdles bow last week but ran poorly, though she's from a top yard so may do better soon. Let Her Flow and SHES SOME DOLL might have more to give and the nod goes to Gavin Cromwell's Yeats mare. She ran well for a good portion of her hurdles debut at Roscommon last month; should be suited by this longer trip and can improve to be competitive.
