Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares INH Flat Race

Kapgarde mare showed ability without getting her head in front in five starts in point-to-points; off since last November and tongue-tied for Rules' debut; shrewd yard so check market.

Fine effort on debut in a mares' bumper at Down Royal (17.5f, yielding) four weeks ago when a 1.75l second of 13 at odds of 12-1 (backed in from 66-1, two of these behind); uncertain whether this longer trip will suit but has a chance on form.

0-6 in bumpers; kept on nicely for a 5.25l third at this track in November (16.5f, soft); below best last five starts and was beaten 25l when fifth in a maiden hurdle here last time; needs more.

Solid fifth on debut in valuable Fairyhouse bumper a year ago; runner up on seasonal return at Punchestown (18.5f, yielding); turned over at short odds at Gowran latest (2m1f, heavy); step up in trip and better ground will suit here; worth giving one more chance to.

80-1 when beaten 45l on debut at Fairyhouse; backed from 40-1 into 11-1 last time at Down Royal but raced keenly and finished in midfield behind a couple of these; probably capable of better.
