Wexford Fillies Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 16:46 | Winning time: 4m 11.70s

Chica Linda¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Philip Byrnes| T: J Fahey

40/1

Modest Flat winner. Hampered at the first and always behind when eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Downpatrick (17.8f, good, 28/1) on NH debut 103 days ago. This ought to reveal more.

Form: 0-

Dumb Love¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: M J M O'Sullivan| T: Gerard O'Leary

22/1

Fair Flat winner who offered something to work on when fourth of 13 in a juvenile maiden on hurdles debut at Tramore (16.6f) in April. Exploits mixed on the level more recently but claims of hitting the frame back over timber.

Form: 4-

Evolving²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Kevin Sexton| T: A Kinirons

7/1

Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 14 in novice hurdle (66/1) at Killarney (20.4f, good) 20 days ago. Probably one for handicaps judged on her exploits in this sphere to date.

Form: 07

Hasten Slowly¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: B W Harvey| T: J C McConnell

9/1

Fair Flat winner. Once-raced maiden over hurdles. Fair winner at 12f on flat. 10/1, sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good) on NH debut 12 days ago. Should progress.

Form: 6

An Ge Liath¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: M Fahey

150/1

Kingston Hill filly. Last of 15 in novice hurdle (40/1) at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good) on NH debut 12 days ago, struggling when untidy 4 out. Can only be watched.

125/1

€10,000 3-y-o, Westerner filly. Half-sister to fair hurdler Getabelle. Likely best watched on racecourse bow.

Form:

Burvea^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Danny Gilligan| T: D Broad| OR: 103

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Possibly needed the run after 3 months off when eighth of 13 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.8f, good to soft, 12/1) 16 days ago. Was shaping up well when last seen in this sphere and she's one to consider here with a hood refitted.

Form: U5532-

Clongorey

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

9/1

Mount Nelson filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 2½m) Castlegrace Paddy. One to note on debut representing leading yard.

Form:

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Mark Walsh| T: E Bolger

25/1

Getaway filly. Dam unraced out of fairly useful hurdler (2m-2½m winner) Aunt Aggie. Shaped as if in need of the experience when fifth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (17.3f) on NH debut 15 days ago, plugging on. Type to do better in time.

Form: 5

Kimy⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: J B Foley| T: T Mullins| OR: 107

5/2

Fair hurdler. 25/1, seventeenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Galway (16.5f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Rates a likely type to bounce back returned to calmer waters.

3/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who made a promising start in this sphere when runner-up in a juvenile maiden at Ballinrobe (16.3f) in May. Creditable efforts in 2 starts back on the level have followed and respected returned to hurdling with improvement anticipated.

Forecasts

Kimy (5/2), Struck By Churchil (3/1), Burvea (7/2), Evolving (7/1), Hasten Slowly (9/1), Clongorey (9/1), Diamonds Diva (12/1), Dumb Love (22/1), Job Well Done (25/1), Morell River (25/1), Fantaske (40/1), Chica Linda (40/1), Liscahane United (50/1), Polly Poppins (80/1), Barroness Park (125/1), An Ge Liath (150/1), Yenaled Dream (200/1)

BURVEA was shaping up well when last seen over hurdles and, with a recent spin on the Flat likely to have blown the cobwebs away, it would come as no surprise to see her go well with a hood refitted. Kimy and Struck By Churchil are others to consider, with Clongorey a newcomer to note for Gordon Elliott.
