14:10 BetVictor Irish EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle

Race preview

POWERFUL OUT has run well in defeat since a 2020 bumper win. She carries a winners' penalty but is capable and ideally suited by trip and good ground. Monas Melody has superior bumper/flat form but has raced just once over hurdles. Placed at Listed bumper level and rated 89 on the flat, she should progress from her promising hurdles run but drops to a shorter-than-ideal trip at a tighter track, against the street-wise selection. Hollymount, a 300,000Gbp purchase, was third over CD last month and while she is probably no star, with the form of her recent run being ordinary, she could improve. Braganza debuts for Willie Mullins following a four-year layoff. She hung badly on one outing for Ed Dunlop, was bought for E6,000 in November 2018 (when 'believed in foal' to Champs Elysees) and was subsequently unraced when with trainer Emmet Mullins. Hide And Seek is out of a French Grade 3 bumper winner and having run a nice race at Cork, can improve. Princess Sophia can give trouble at the start and was an early faller last month while Ardera Ru might struggle to win.
