18:30 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase

Race preview

TWO SHOE TOM makes her chase debut but has run 18 times over jumps and will be well schooled being an eight year old. She is suited by a sound surface, comes here in good form and her trainer is flying it. Brave Way was Grade 3 placed over hurdles and while more was probably expected when fourth on chase debut at Thurles, the race was won by a smart mare. Today's race is a lesser one but she nonetheless lacks a recent run and has a little to prove. Ciao Bella was hampered when well held on chase debut last November but is a capable hurdler who has been running well over staying distances. Duchess Ravenwaves has useful chase form but might bump into a few too strong while chase debutante Cute Cherry was a winner in March prior to a disappointing run at Down Royal.
