Irish Stallion Farms EBF Paddy And Maureen Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle (Listed)

Off time: 12:41 | Winning time: 4m 53.90s

Galileo Dame³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 130| BF| C

20/1

Remains a maiden over hurdles but was runner-up in a Grade 1 here as a juvenile and a repeat of that form would give her every chance on handicap bow.

Form: 226/2

Carried With Love^v1³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Peter Smithers⁽⁷⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 127

12/1

Running consistently well, second of 12 to Cousin Kate in handicap hurdle at Limerick (20f, heavy) 37 days ago. Expected to be bang there again in a change of headgear.

Form: 1/93332

Blue Mosque³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: Mr D McGill⁽⁷⁾| T: N Meade| OR: 126| BF

15/2

Too keen for own good last time but often gives her running. Current mark does sum her up, however.

Form: 22272/0

Siog Geal⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J J Burke| T: F O'Brien| OR: 126| BF

11/1

Signed off promising novice season with handicap debut success in a valuable race at Newbury (20.5f) and returned with encouraging placed efforts at Carlisle/Cheltenham. One of the more interesting runners.

Form: 1421-32

Cousin Kate²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Michael Kenneally⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 123

13/2

Lightly-raced mare who took another step forward to easily win at Cork 4 weeks ago. Up 10 lb but another good account expected.

Form: 912311

Whimsy^p⁶³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Eoghan Finegan⁽⁷⁾| T: A McCann| OR: 122

16/1

Has been reluctant at the start but is consistent and typically gave her running when 4¾ lengths third of 7 in Grade 3 (7/1) at Navan in November. Second start in 24 hrs proved too much for her at Fairyhouse but given a break since.

Form: 5/2234-6

Tir Og³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: E Seymour| OR: 118| D

25/1

Recorded third win of the season in novice at Naas but latest fifth in listed handicap at Limerick shows she has work to do off revised mark.

Form: 112215

Shoda^t²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: S Bowen| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 116| BF

11/2

Useful winner at 17f on flat. Yet to hit those heights over hurdles but remains unexposed ahead of handicap bow.

Form: 33/33

May Call You Back⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Brian Hayes| T: W P Mullins| OR: 114| BF

13/2

Healthy strike rate and was a decent second in hat-trick bid at Navan 7 weeks ago. 7 lb higher back over hurdles now, though.

Form: 142112

Dameauscottlestown^t³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Eoin Staples⁽⁵⁾| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 113

25/1

Proved an entirely different proposition sent handicapping when making a mockery of her mark at Punchestown on New Year's Eve. Up a whopping 15 lb but she's still one for the shortlist.

Form: 2P/5591

True Testimony^t,p1³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 10-9| J: Jack Kennedy| T: Ian Donoghue| OR: 113

11/2

Off the mark on third start for current yard at Fairyhouse but only fifth off much lower hurdles mark here next time. Headgear applied.

Form: 27/36-15

Arctic Flame^t¹²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Simon Torrens| T: P T Foley| OR: 112

33/1

Off the mark in maiden hurdle at Down Royal and further improvement when second at Gowran on handicap bow in October. Not taken lightly.

Form: 4/24312

Aruntothequeen^p1,t³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-7| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 111

14/1

Talented bumper winner but has failed to meet expectations over hurdles so far, seventh of 23 in handicap at this course (20.7f, good) 35 days ago. Headgear now applied.

Form: 13/6267

Adrienne³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-6| J: Darragh O'Keeffe| T: T M Walsh| OR: 122

16/1

Fair maiden on the Flat who built on hurdling debut effort when opening account at Fairyhouse in November. Progressed again when placed in Graded events next 2 starts and one to consider now going handicapping.

Form: 3132

Tequila Talkin'^h³⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-1| J: Conor Stone-Walsh| T: P Nolan| OR: 105

28/1

Maiden hurdle winner at Wexford in July but has struggled off inflated mark in handicaps since.

Form: F/31P58

Onefortheditch³⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Patrick M O'Brien⁽⁵⁾| T: E F Gallagher| OR: 104| D

20/1

Ended losing run at Limerick 5 weeks ago but has already had limitations exposed off marks in the 100s.

Form: 423221

Kimy²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Sean Cleary-Farrell⁽⁷⁾| T: T Mullins| OR: 103

28/1

Good second in this last year off 6 lb higher. Step back in the right direction (effectively her reappearance) when third at Cork (20f, good to soft) and excuses at Punchestown since. Heavy ground would be a concern again.

Form: 0U/8F30

Maxios Prime³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Josh Williamson⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Rothwell| OR: 102

20/1

Consistent rather than progressive and looks up against it from out of the handicap.

Form: F13/227

Forecasts

Shoda (11/2), True Testimony (11/2), Cousin Kate (13/2), May Call You Back (13/2), Blue Mosque (15/2), Siog Geal (11/1), Carried With Love (12/1), Aruntothequeen (14/1), Whimsy (16/1), Adrienne (16/1), Maxios Prime (20/1), Onefortheditch (20/1), Galileo Dame (20/1), Dameauscottlestown (25/1), Tir Og (25/1), Tequila Talkin' (28/1), Kimy (28/1), Arctic Flame (33/1), Disco Dancer (33/1)

Plenty to consider but COUSIN KATE is improving rapidly and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Dameauscottlestown made a mockery of her opening mark at Punchestown and makes the shortlist despite a 15 lb hike, while Siog Geal shaped best for a long way at Cheltenham last time and remains of interest.
