12:20 Irish Stallion Farms EBF Maiden Hurdle

Race preview

HIDDENVALLEY LAKE is related to a host of multiple winners. He makes his track debut for Henry de Bromhead having been carried out at the final fence when winning his point-to-point. The trainer commented in a stable tour that he seems like a smart horse. Santonito is a former bumper winner who was also beaten by a nose over 2m4f in that discipline. On his hurdling debut at Punchestown last month, he clearly ran into a more than useful winner and finished fourth over that 2m trip. The extra distance here should be right up his street. Eabha Grace is another making her debut over hurdles. She won her bumper on first start at Thurles and has kept good company since then without threatening another victory. This is a new trip for her, but Willie Mullins has had plenty of success in previous renewals of this race. Gaoth Chuil has the ability to get involved.
