We have three runners in the mares maiden hurdle over 2m 4f. Paul rides Carrigmoorna Queen who won a bumper at the Galway festival. This is her first run over hurdles but that shouldn’t be a problem as she has jumped well at home in preparation for this. The trip is perfect and we are hoping she will go close. Moon Rise Beauty (Sean O’Keeffe) will like the trip and ground but needs to improve from her bumper win at Downpatrick if she is to figure here. Walk On The Moon (Danny) went close in a maiden hurdle over 2m 5f at Tramore. That experience will stand to her here and she won’t have any problem with the trip.
Adamantly Chosen (Paul) makes his chasing debut in the 2m 1f beginners chase. He is fit, jumps well and will go on the ground. Grand Roi looks the one to beat.
Bukhill (Patrick) goes for the bumper. He disappointed us when only fifth at Galway but he will be a lot better suited by this flat track. The experience of that first run and normal improvement should make him very competitive here.
