14:10 Holden Plant Rentals Handicap Hurdle (80-95)

Race preview

INFLUENTIAL LADY is not the most consistent of performers but has indicated on a few occasions that she has a handicap of this nature in her. Her staying-on third to Butterflyvespiere in a higher grade at Listowel was an encouraging display and she might be able to get off the mark for her locally-based trainer. Like the selection, Esthers Marvel has found a first win elusive but she has loads of solid placed form in the book and her latest fourth to Outside The Door at Listowel was boosted when the runner-up won easily at Clonmel on Thursday. Tullyhogue Fort is one of only three previous hurdle winners in the line-up after his last-time-out success at Galway. He readily beat subsequent winner Yamato and has to be on the shortlist despite a 12lb hike. Boghlone Honey was second at this venue on Thyestes day in January and also ran creditably in a decent contest at Navan on her next start. She's respected on that form while Rossies Tara has shown a bit of promise in maidens and could be a lively outsider.
