Bloom Feeds Irish EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 15:28 | Winning time: 4m 32.8s

Pampar Lady³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-13| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁷⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 111

15/2

Two wins from 4 runs this season. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap hurdle (7/2) at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good to soft) 30 days ago. 7 lb rise offset by in-form amateur's claim and she's a key player.

Form: 56-6211

Ballycashin²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Anna McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mullins| OR: 109

12/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Killarney (22.4f, good to soft, 14/1) 29 days ago. Merits consideration.

Form: 40-3266

Chosen Shant⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: Phillip Enright| T: Aengus King| OR: 107

14/1

Two wins from 3 runs this season. 9/2, career best when winning 14-runner handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.8f, good to soft) 44 days ago, running on. Claims up 7 lb in her hat-trick bid.

Form: 5P5-211

Lep Around¹⁸²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: John Shinnick⁽³⁾| T: Miss M Harding| OR: 107

25/1

25/1, last of 3 in minor event hurdle at Limerick (16.2f, soft). Off 6 months and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 21/0063-

Sophia Rose³²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 106

17/2

Career best when winning 7-runner novice hurdle (2/1) at Sligo (20.5f, good) 32 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut and Pampar Lady is presumably the stable first-string.

Form: 5-45251

Glitz And Glamour³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-7| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: E McNamara| OR: 107| D

13/2

Thrice-raced winner over hurdles. Won 16-runner novice hurdle at Sligo (17.5f, good, 9/2) 32 days ago. Open to improvement now handicapping and she merits respect.

Form: U4-5361

Burvea^t⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Danny Gilligan| T: D Broad| OR: 100

14/1

13/2, below form fourth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Sligo (17.4f, good) 70 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win point of view.

Form: 1463P-4

Music Of Life¹²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Mr H C Swan| T: D Hogan| OR: 97

20/1

28/1, below form fifth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (20f, good to soft) 127 days ago. First run for yard after leaving E. J. O'Grady and it's probably best to look elsewhere on this occasion.

Form: 688C5-5

Mountrivers Lass²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-10| J: R Deegan| T: R Murphy| OR: 94

40/1

14/1, sixth of 8 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (22.3f, good) 27 days ago, needing stiffer test. Dropping in trip for this handicap debut is unlikely to help.

Form: 0R806-6

Kilashee⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-9| J: Daniel King| T: J P Ryan| OR: 93| C

25/1

Unreliable type. Course winner. Pulled up in handicap chase at Ballinrobe (17.2f, soft, 6/1) 9 days ago, dropping away quickly 4 out. Switches from chase to hurdles. Others look more solid.

Form: 2F035P

Watty Show²⁷⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-9| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: H De Bromhead| OR: 93

8/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 250/1, ninth of 20 in novice hurdle at Naas (16.2f, good to soft). Off 9 months ahead of this handicap/stable debut. Likely to improve in due course.

Form: 8/059-

Only A Dollar^h⁵⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Sean O'Keeffe| T: S Aherne| OR: 91

11/1

Respectable fifth of 14 in handicap hurdle (12/1) at Wexford (16.7f, good to soft) 59 days ago. Place possibilities.

Form: P8-3F65

Polly Poppins^h³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Gavin Brouder⁽³⁾| T: Bernard Crowley| OR: 91

6/1

Good second of 10 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Tramore (16.4f, good to firm) 37 days ago, just failing. 2 lb nudge fair enough and should be on the premises once again.

Form: F4-8952

Hay Baby^h1,b1¹¹⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-6| J: Sam Ewing| T: Peter Fahey| OR: 90

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (17f, good to soft, 4/1) 116 days ago. Hood on 1st time and needs to raise her game a touch.

Form: 17906-5

Ar Aghaidh^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-1| J: P Hanlon⁽⁷⁾| T: H P Finegan| OR: 85

18/1

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, excellent second of 13 in novice hurdle at Wexford (24f, good, 28/1) 23 days ago. Back down in trip and will be a threat if able to build on that back in handicap company.

Form: 6F68-P2

Sidiriya⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Simon Torrens| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 85

11/1

21½ lengths tenth of 14 to Chosen Shant in handicap hurdle at Wexford (16.8f, good to soft, 10/1) 44 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 99P4/50

Willuhaveamineral⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Gary Noonan⁽³⁾| T: M Winters| OR: 77

66/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, last of 14 in novice hurdle at Wexford (16.8f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Makes handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 900

You'llfindandsee^p,t³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-0| J: Gearoid Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian O'Connor| OR: 75

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden over hurdles. Last of 12 in handicap at Killarney (14.4f, good, 80/1) 30 days ago. Switches from Flat to hurdles. Pulled up on last hurdle outing. Makes handicap hurdle debut.

Form: 60U/P-

Forecasts

Hay Baby (5/1), Polly Poppins (6/1), Glitz And Glamour (13/2), Pampar Lady (15/2), Watty Show (8/1), Sophia Rose (17/2), Sidiriya (11/1), Only A Dollar (11/1), Ballycashin (12/1), Burvea (14/1), Chosen Shant (14/1), Ar Aghaidh (18/1), Music Of Life (20/1), Lep Around (25/1), Kilashee (25/1), Mountrivers Lass (40/1), Willuhaveamineral (66/1), You'llfindandsee (80/1)

There should be better to come from GLITZ AND GLAMOUR, who made it third time lucky under Rules when getting on top close home in a big-field Sligo maiden last month and her mark for this handicap debut looks fair. Hat-trick seekers Pampar Lady and Chosen Shant both merit the utmost respect, particularly the former who is partnered by an in-form amateur who is very good value for his 7 lb claim. Ar Aghaidh will also have a chance if able build on her latest improved effort.
