16:05 Kilganey Mares Maiden Hurdle

Race preview

EMMA PRADA is a hopeful pick to win on hurdles debut. A half-sister to two useful staying winners, EMMA PRADA showed good ability in winning her point-to-point at Borris House in March before failing to sell at GBP48,000 11 days later at Cheltenham. Lockdown then ended her season but she is probably a useful jumps performer in the making and her same connections have found a suitable opportunity here. Trevena has a 118 rating which gives her every chance under David Mullins and while she has twice won on the flat, she remains frustrating to follow over jumps. She was well beaten at Sligo latest and, worryingly, was given reminders early on in that race and might struggle to give away a winners' penalty here. Coosan Clover is also dodgy as she showed wayward tendencies when running out, while leading, at the second hurdle at Kilbeggan latest. She will surely take a lead today and has place claims if behaving. Jelona ran well on her bumper debut last year but needs to show more than her recent Downpatrick hurdle debut. Eversosaucy and Hill Of Truth have shown some ability but might bump into a few too good.
