Murrayshall Country Estate Mares' Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

4YO plus | Class 4 | 2m 4f 35y | 11 Runners | Turf

Bracing Brook²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Dominic Hislop⁽⁷⁾| T: C Bissett

200/1

No show in a couple of novice hurdles 5 months apart.

Form: PP-

Expensive Emotion²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Oakley Brown⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley

10/1

£40,000 purchase after getting off the mark in Irish points at the second attempt in November. Offered something to work on at long odds when fourth of 8 in a C&D maiden hurdle 3 weeks ago and rates a likely improver.

Form: P/14-

Frankies Fortune²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Alan Doyle⁽³⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore

10/3

Irish point winner who made little impact in a couple of bumpers in the autumn but made a perfectly encouraging debut in this sphere after 5 months off when second of 7 in novice over C&D just under 3 weeks ago, finishing with running left. Still learning, she's got more to offer.

Form: 1/592-

Hunters Spring²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: P W Wadge| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 99

16/1

Debut bumper winner shaped as though this switch to a handicap/longer trip would suit when third (and not given a hard time) on qualifying run at Kelso (2m) in late-February. Let down by her jumping sent handicapping there just over 3 weeks ago and quickly reverts to maiden company.

Form: 32/443U-

Kaydence²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy

13/8

Bumper winner who is stoutly bred and benefited as expected from the step up in trip when second of 10 in maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot (2¾m, good to soft) last month, left with plenty to do. Every chance she can go on better with further progress on the cards.

Kayla's Friend⁵⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: James Bowen| T: O Murphy

15/2

Looked set to win when unseating late on the latter of her outings in points but no show in a Thurles bumper for James William Hannon prior to Christmas. Showed a bit sent hurdling when third of 6 in novice hurdle at Huntingdon (2½m, good to soft) and seems likely to flourish later on.

Form: 6/U03-

Lowlands¹³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N G Richards| OR: 101

7/2

Underwent a wind op following a few runs in bumpers last year and has made the frame on all 4 starts over hurdles, third of 9 in handicap at Kelso (2¼m, soft) when last seen in December. Back in maiden company for her return and every chance she'll be bang there.

Form: 59/4223-

Nufinbutdatruth¹⁸²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Peter Kavanagh| T: Mrs J C McGregor

200/1

Tailed off in 2 bumpers last year and can only be watched switched to hurdles.

Form: 89-

Oor Wish²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Bruce Lynn| T: N W Alexander

33/1

Hinted at promise in 3 bumpers and did the same when fourth of 7 in novice over C&D (good) on hurdles bow recently. Likely to need more time, however.

Form: 4464-

Poppies In July³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: A Nicol

10/3

€26,000 3-y-o, £60,000 5-y-o, Poet's Word mare. Half-sister to 1m-9.4f winner who became unreliable Leabaland. Easy winner on second of 2 starts in Irish points (Apr 5). Worth a second look in the market.

Quinnfinity^t1²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Toby Wynne| T: R M Smith

125/1

Jet Away filly who showed only greenness before pulled up in novice hurdle over C&D just under 3 weeks ago. Tongue tie applied.

Form: P-

Forecasts

Frankies Fortune (11/4), Kaydence (10/3), Lowlands (4/1), Kayla's Friend (6/1), Expensive Emotion (15/2), Poppies In July (8/1), Hunters Spring (10/1), Oor Wish (25/1), Quinnfinity (100/1), Bracing Brook (100/1), Nufinbutdatruth (100/1)

Preference is for KAYDENCE, who benefited as expected from the step up in trip when runner-up at Newton Abbot last month and she can go one better with further progress on the cards. Frankies Fortune made a perfectly encouraging debut in this sphere when also finding one too strong and she can provide most resistance, with recent Irish point-winner Poppies In July an interesting Rules debutante, also.
