Adare Manor Opportunity Mares Maiden Hurdle

Point-to-point and Sligo bumper winner (1-5 overall in that sphere); trainer knows the family well and her half-sister won this race for her local yard last year; big chance.

Diamond Bay mare; half-sister to three jumps winners; dam 2m3f bumper/dual 2m4f hurdle winner; makes a bit of appeal on paper but probably best watched unless the market speaks.

Point-to-point winner has overall record of 1-8 in that sphere; not disgraced on sole start under Rules in a Tipperary bumper last May but will need much more to make a winning belated debut over timber.

Sent off at 28-1 on debut in a Ballinrobe mares' maiden hurdle last month (2m2f, soft) but belied those odds to run a blinder, staying on under hands and heels for a 3.25l third; this longer trip should suit on that evidence; leading claims.

Point-to-point winner; 0-4 over timber but ran well enough in defeat off 93 in a 2m3f Navan handicap hurdle on latest; was also third in a Tramore maiden hurdle last year; place claims but needs to find a bit more to win.
