Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden

Unplaced in three outings and yet to find a level that suits; wide drawn in stall 2 on a big card and with nothing productive in the form book, Hope N Pray has a lot to find to be competitive here.

Twice placed over this trip at Leopardstown, shaped with enough encouragement to suggest she belongs in maiden company — bred to be suited beyond a mile and in time that stamina will come into play; tongue-tie applied first time and the form around her should come good.

Flat at Fairyhouse on her only start where she showed nothing; the yard has yet to get a winner on the board and that is a concern — not much to go on at this stage.

Came back from a break to show a degree of form at Naas, though held comfortably; bred for around 10f and more time will be needed before she fulfils her potential — a green youngster still finding her feet and probably one for handicaps later.

Went very close here on her latest outing, beaten a head in a maiden at Naas — debut form around her has been given a boost at Group level and she has since been fitted with cheekpieces; effective at a mile on good and should go one better here with that experience behind her.
