Stephen Mullins & Sons Mares Maiden Hurdle

Off time: 17:56 | Winning time: 4m 17.10s

Bangor Lady¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Philip Donovan⁽³⁾| T: J P Ryan| OR: 77

9/1

Was in the process of showing a bit more when falling heavily 2 out at Clonmel (heavy) last December. Well held in 2 handicaps upon return last month but this is easier.

Form: P07F/00

Carrigeen Kirkia^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Gilligan⁽⁵⁾| T: P J Gilligan

11/1

Maiden pointer. Big prices and well beaten in bumpers but has hinted at ability and goes hurdling in a thin race.

Form: U640/96

Cherry Red³²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Ben Harvey| T: D M Christie

28/1

Poor form at best in bumpers/maiden hurdles for Shane Donohoe in 2022/23 and has failed to complete in points since (missed 2 years, latest start last month).

Form: 600PU/P

Clash Gold⁵¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Mike O'Connor| T: F J Flood| OR: 88

7/1

Showed first form after 3 months off when plugging on in fifth in 2m Tramore mares maiden hurdle 7 weeks ago. That was a deeper race and she's a player.

Form: 87005/

Crios Cu Chulainn¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Paddy Cody⁽⁷⁾| T: E Sheehy

12/1

Well held in 2 bumpers last month.

Form: 97

Ellens Pride¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Alan O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: S Curling

4/1

Point winner in November 2025 but always behind on second outing over hurdles at Ballinrobe a fortnight ago.

Form: 95921/0

Family Getaway¹⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Kevin Sexton| T: G Elliott

4/1

Would have finished in the frame but for a late fall on hurdles debut in a much stronger race at Cork in November. No show twice since in good contests but worth keeping on side in this company with that early promise in mind.

Form: F09/

Mia In Milan²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Calum Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: D E Fitzgerald

16/1

Well beaten in Punchestown bumper and Killarney novice hurdle.

Form: 0/0

Mo Chailin Mor^t1⁹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: P J O'Hanlon| T: Ian Donoghue

18/1

Well held in 3 maiden hurdles. Tongue tie goes on.

Form: 006/

Scathach²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Shane Markey⁽⁷⁾| T: R O'Sullivan| OR: 90| BF

11/4

No impact in 4 maiden hurdles, although was the subject of good support on return at Wexford (2½m) last month. Clearly thought capable of better.

Form: 06F/8

Tawny Lea¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Ricky Doyle| T: Thomas Coyle

28/1

Jukebox Jury half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser Duke of Navan. Well beaten in 2 maiden hurdles last month.

Form: 08

Forecasts

Scathach (11/4), Ellens Pride (4/1), Family Getaway (4/1), Clash Gold (7/1), Bangor Lady (9/1), Carrigeen Kirkia (11/1), Crios Cu Chulainn (12/1), Mia In Milan (16/1), Mo Chailin Mor (18/1), Cherry Red (28/1), Tawny Lea (28/1)

A weak mares maiden that can go to FAMILY GETAWAY, who has contested much stronger races than this so far and showed she has plenty of ability prior to falling on her debut back in November. Scathach and Clash Gold are a couple of the other more appealing ones.
