Darley Irish EBF Hurry Harriet Stakes (Fillies' & Mares' Listed)

Off time: 18:50 | Winning time: 1m 58.94s

(1)

Adelaise²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 100

5/1

Useful mare. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Respectable 3½ lengths fourth of 9 to Greenfinch in listed race at Killarney (8.2f, good, 9/1) 28 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 245-104

(2)

Alanya²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: G M Ryan| T: T Gibney| OR: 95

8/1

Useful mare. 5½ lengths sixth of 9 to Greenfinch in listed race at Killarney (8.2f, good, 11/1) 28 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Not dismissed.

Form: 30-5666

(8)

Karsavina¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: M P Sheehy| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 88

25/1

Fairly useful filly. 6/4, didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner maiden at Cork (8f, good) 19 days ago, pushed out. This obviously demands more but she may not have reached her limit.

Form: 45-7081

(6)

One Look¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Ben Coen| T: P Twomey| OR: 98| BF

5/1

Lightly-raced winner. 9/4, 5½ lengths ninth of 12 to Raknah in listed race at Galway (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip. Not one to write off yet.

Form: 1-169

(10)

Sakti²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J A Heffernan| T: G M Lyons| OR: 101

7/2

Lightly-raced winner. 10/3, creditable 2¼ lengths second of 9 to Greenfinch in listed race at Killarney (8.2f, good) 28 days ago. Likely to give another good account.

Form: 222-12

(3)

Snellen¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Gary Carroll| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 92| CD

11/2

Useful filly. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Didn't need to be at best when winning 5-runner minor event (13/8) at this course (9.5f, good) 18 days ago, digging deep. Worth a try in this grade.

Form: 6-79121

(7)

Unreasonable^p1³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Declan McDonogh| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 94

10/1

Lightly-raced winner. 6¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Spiritual in listed race at Sandown (8f, soft, 16/1) 39 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others probably have more potential.

Form: 17-436

(5)

Wingspan¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien

4/1

Very well-related Dubawi filly who made a winning debut in 12-runner maiden at Leopardstown in April. Not disgraced up in grade at Navan next time and remains with potential.

Form: 16

Non-Runners

Thalara⁵⁹

Weight: 9-9| Age: 4

T: H De Bromhead J: Rachael Blackmore

(4)

Azada⁴⁵

Weight: 9-1| Age: 3

T: D K Weld J: Chris Hayes

Forecasts

Azada (11/4), Sakti (7/2), Wingspan (4/1), One Look (5/1), Adelaise (5/1), Snellen (11/2), Alanya (8/1), Unreasonable (10/1), Thalara (14/1), Karsavina (25/1)

Some sort of case can be made for the majority of this field but AZADA has left the firm impression that this step up in trip will bring improvement out of her, so a chance is taken on her. Sakti is respected on the back of a solid showing at this level and Wingspan probably has a bigger performance in her after just a couple of runs.
