Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 14:35 | Winning time: 4m 51.07s

Carrig Carol¹⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Richard Condon⁽⁵⁾| T: P Croke

125/1

Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 150/1, third of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.6f, good to soft) when last seen in April. That represented a significant step forward, but another will be needed if she's to take this.

Form: 603-

Carrigmoorna Queen⁵¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

6/5

Twice-raced winner in bumpers. 8/13, won 10-runner bumper at Galway (16f, heavy) 51 days ago, driven clear. Up in trip for this hurdles debut and, representing the Willie Mullins yard, she is of strong interest.

Form: 2-1

Cherisheverymoment¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: R Deegan| T: Miss E Doyle

250/1

Twice-raced maiden under Rules. 150/1, first run since leaving David Christie when seventh of 11 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (16f, good) on hurdles bow 17 days ago. Up in trip and she's hard to warm to.

Form: 07

Fons Vivus¹⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Brian Hayes| T: Padraig Butler

80/1

Lightly-raced winner under Rules. Successful in a bumper at Cork in January. 15/2, pulled up in novice hurdle there (19f, heavy) on latest start in April, though, and she now has a plenty to prove.

Form: 4/311PP-

Kilbunny Pontic¹⁶⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: D M O'Brien

33/1

Lightly-raced winner in bumpers. 50/1, seventh of 8 in bumper at Fairyhouse (16f, good to soft) 169 days ago. Up in trip for this hurdles debut and others are more appealing.

Form: F/11967-

Moon Rise Beauty^t⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: W P Mullins

9/1

Thrice-raced winner in bumpers. 10/3, won 13-runner bumper at Downpatrick (18.8f, good) 43 days ago, pushed out. Represents top yard and likely to make her mark in this sphere, but seemingly the least fancied of the Mullins trio judged on jockey bookings.

Form: 4-61

Pulltheplug¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Liam McKenna⁽⁷⁾| T: M Kennedy

250/1

Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.7f, good, 50/1) on NH debut 10 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 8

Roccos Inspiration¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: M J M O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Kennedy

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 12 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.7f, good, 80/1) 10 days ago. Place possibilities if able to build on that now upped in trip.

Form: 03

Twoplustwo Equals³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Ricky Doyle| T: Paul Tobin| BF

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 5/4, third of 15 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21f, good) 38 days ago, travelling strongly. Needs to raise her game.

Form: PU90P-3

Walk On The Moone³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Danny Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

13/2

Lightly-raced winner under Rules. 4/5, respectable second of 13 in novice hurdle at Tramore (21.4f, good) 36 days ago, just failing. Certainly one to consider, for all that Carrigmoorna Queen appears to be the stable No 1.

Form: 1-262

Betty Dutton²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: E J O'Grady

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden under Rules. 4/1, sixth of 11 in bumper at Ballinrobe (16.2f, good) on bumper debut 28 days ago. Switches from bumpers to hurdles. Up in trip.

Form: 326

Come On Du Berlais²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott

7/2

Promising type. Bumper winner at Kelso in May. 15/8, good second of 15 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good) 24 days ago. Likely capable of better still and she's high on the shortlist.

Form: 21222

Gaoth Chuil⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-4| J: Mark Walsh| T: T M Walsh

7/2

Highly promising sort. Bumper winner at Tipperary in June. 7/2, fifth of 9 in novice hurdle at Galway (16.6f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 56 days ago. Up in trip here and she's open to significant improvement.

Form: 2-2215

Forecasts

Carrigmoorna Queen (6/5), Come On Du Berlais (7/2), Gaoth Chuil (7/2), Walk On The Moone (13/2), Moon Rise Beauty (9/1), Bynx (10/1), Twoplustwo Equals (12/1), Hazelhatch Lady (16/1), Time To Rocco (16/1), Kilbunny Pontic (33/1), Betty Dutton (33/1), Roccos Inspiration (33/1), Fons Vivus (80/1), Carrig Carol (125/1), No Risk No Story (250/1), Cherisheverymoment (250/1), Coco Lightning (250/1), Run Getaway Run (250/1), Pulltheplug (250/1)

It was a decent Galway novice in which GAOTH CHUIL finished fifth on her hurdles debut and, with that experience to draw upon over this new trip in a race restricted to her own sex, she can be expected to take a sizeable step forward, especially considering the strength of her bumper form. Come On Du Berlais has finished runner-up on both starts in this sphere and is next on the list ahead of the Willie Mullins-trained trio, Carrigmoorna Queen, Walk On The Moone and Moon Rise Beauty.
