Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Flat Race

Off time: 17:21 | Winning time: 4m 43.5s

Bluebell Diva^h¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr F Maguire| T: M F Morris

22/1

Once-raced maiden. 22/1 and hooded, fifth of 13 in bumper at Gowran (17f, heavy) on NH debut 12 days ago. Hard to fancy on the back of that uninspiring debut.

Form: 5

Butty O Brien⁴⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr P C Bannon⁽⁷⁾| T: P Magee

17/2

Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 15 in bumper (150/1) at Navan (16f, soft) on NH debut 40 days ago. Likely to come up short.

Form: U6-8

Clairmc⁶²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr D O'Connor| T: G P Cromwell

4/1

Thrice-raced maiden under NH rules. Sixth of 13 in bumper at Punchestown (18f, heavy, 5/1) 62 days ago. Good second prior to that, and sets the standard of those with experience.

Form: 626

Grace Shelby^t1³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: William Cronin

7/1

Twice-raced maiden. 15/2, sixth of 11 in bumper at Limerick (16f, soft) 30 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others make more appeal.

Form: 36

Roseville Getaway

Age: 6| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr M C O'Donovan⁽⁷⁾| T: Bernard Crowley

20/1

Getaway mare. Dam bumper winner/maiden hurdler. Yard isn't renowned for winning newcomers.

Form:

Visible Attraction

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

6/4

€20,000 3-y-o, Walk In The Park mare. Dam unraced sister to top-class hurdler/very smart chaser (winner up to 21f) Oscar Whisky. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Form:

Chautuaqua

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J F O'Meara⁽⁵⁾| T: D Hogan

14/1

€8,000 3-y-o, Westerner filly. Dam (b75), lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to smart hurdler/top-class chaser (stayed 33f) First Lieutenant. Worth a market check.

Form:

Oakroom Lady

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr M K Tobin⁽⁷⁾| T: D Queally

9/2

Milan filly. Closely related to useful 2¼m-2½m hurdle winner Clondaw Caitlin and 21f hurdle winner Courtinthemiddle, stays 23f. Notable newcomer on paper.

Form:

Forecasts

Visible Attraction (6/4), Clairmc (4/1), Oakroom Lady (9/2), Grace Shelby (7/1), Butty O Brien (17/2), Chautuaqua (14/1), Roseville Getaway (20/1), Bluebell Diva (22/1)

VISIBLE ATTRACTION is from a good family and represents a top yard, so she is a straightforward choice to make a winning start in a thin race. Oakroom Lady is another notable newcomer and Clairmc is the clear pick of those with experience for all she has a poor run to put behind her.
