13:50 Lily & Wild At The Post Maiden Hurdle

Race preview

Ballinrobe bumper winner KALIX DELABARRIERE was too keen and made a bad mistake when starting off over hurdles in a 2m4f Leopardstown maiden. The Galiway gelding couldn't find any extra in the closing stages when runner-up to a subsequent winner on testing ground here last month and now takes a further drop in trip with a hood and tongue-tie applied for the first time. Walk On The Beach won a bumper on yielding ground in August after which connections reported that he had been jumping well at home. He is an interesting hurdling debutant but may not want the ground as testing as this. Hello Jack has been well held in both hurdle outings but has place claims again.
