13:20 Connolly's RED MILLS Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle

Race preview

MOLLYS GLORY was quite useful in bumpers and ran well on jumps debut at Downpatrick in August. Runner-up at Listed level in bumpers, she was well held by the winner at Downpatrick but shaped as though she would improve jumping-wise from the run and today receives a useful amount of weight from some of her rivals. Frontier General, a four year old, won on point-to-point debut for Pat Doyle at Dromahane in May and has since joined Henry De Bromhead (who purchased him as a 3yo for E20,000). The form of his point win is as yet unproven but he is a is a half-brother to four winners and is out of a triple-bumper winning mare. Chicago Time has been beaten a nose and short-head when runner-up on his last two starts and while he has obvious claims, gives away plenty weight. Family Business was well beaten in this series' Final last October but had previously shown plenty promise and could run well despite a 354 days absence. Coconut Tudor, 95-rated Alexhardwill and Babylon Beach are useful but need to improve to win.
