Locke Burger Mares Maiden Hurdle

Pos	No.	Dr	Horse	Form	Jockey / Trainer	Age	Wgt	Best decimal odds
3rd	1	—	Babyburn (M) Too keen when ninth of 17 in bumper at Fairyhouse (2m, soft, 9/2) on NH debut in December but must be respected on hurdles bow given her connections.	9	Paul Townend W P Mullins	5	73kg	3 2/1
6th	2	—	Chosen Princess (M) Well held only start in bumpers but did offer a little encouragement when fourth of 14 in novice at Cork on hurdles bow 11 days ago. Likely to need more time, though.	046-7	Eoin Walsh J M Burke	5	73kg	34 33/1
9th	3	—	Dceilingcantholdus (M) Third both starts in points but came in last of 4 in hunter chase at Cork (3m, soft, 9/1) on NH debut 10 days ago. Likely best watched on switch to hurdling.	3349/	Luke Burke Ott A Ott	5	73kg	201 200/1
7th	4	—	Doing It In Style (M) Fair hurdler at best but been disappointing in recent starts, latest on handicap debut at Gowran last month. Can't be ruled out, though.	4F897/6	Keith Donoghue G P Cromwell	6	73kg	9.50 17/2
—	5	—	Dream Frequency (M) Sent off big odds and made little impact in bumper at this course on NH debut 16 days ago. Goes hurdling now.	9	Non Runner Ciaran Murphy	6	73kg	67 66/1
1st	6	—	Fly Away Home (M) FAV Promising individual who arrives on back of creditable second of 8 in novice hurdle over shorter trip at Navan 26 days ago. Remains with potential and is one for shortlist.	472U2	Philip Byrnes C Byrnes	6	73kg	2.25 5/4
—	7	—	Jessie Roe (M) T Well beaten in points and similar story in bumpers, latest at Cork 10 days ago. Readily opposed on switch to hurdling.	467-8P0	Calum Hogan B Mortell	5	73kg	51 50/1
2nd	8	—	Kisuton Enki (M) From an excellent family but finished well beaten in Punchestown bumper on NH debut 15 months ago. Clearly thought capable of better and is worth monitoring in the market on return/hurdles bow.	0/2-26	Jack Kennedy G Elliott	6	73kg	26 25/1
8th	9	—	Little Neck Road (M) €6,500 3-y-o, Shirocco mare. Sister to bumper winner Silver Hill. Pulled up sole start in points and isn't an obvious candidate to make an impact first time over hurdles here.	P/8-	Ricky Doyle T Cooper	5	73kg	151 150/1
4th	10	—	Ma Lumiere (M) Offered little in bumper (28/1) at Cork (2m, good to soft) on NH debut 28 days ago. Upped in trip for hurdles bow and is likely a longer-term prospect.	9	Darragh O'Keeffe M P Fitzgerald	7	73kg	126 125/1
—	11	—	Meghan Mala (M) Pulled Up Posted encouraging third of 10 in novice hurdle at Gowran (2m, heavy) on NH debut 40 days ago. Entitled to build on that, particularly over this longer trip.	3	Miss J Townend T Townend	6	73kg	13 12/1
10th	12	—	Breeze Of Tobruk (F) Always behind in juvenile hurdle at Cork (2m, good to soft, 150/1) on NH debut 11 days ago and is hard to recommend here.	90-	Mr T O'Connor T O'Connor	4	68.5kg	501 500/1
5th	13	—	Louie's Folly (F) Fair maiden on the Flat who has acquitted herself well in a trio of starts over hurdles, latest when second of 11 in juvenile at this course (2m, soft) 16 days ago. May have more to offer in this sph…	525-487	Daniel King D Hogan	4	68.5kg	5.50 9/2
