Tested looks another for in-form Weld
The daughter of Selkirk is capable of handling an ease in the surface, but couldn’t cope with heavy ground in the Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh.
She then got back on track after that classic when taking a Listed event over seven furlongs at Naas, before proving a costly failure at the Galway festival.
That was in another seven furlongs Listed contest, when she failed to reel in the two years older Dalkova, going under by half a length. Dermot Weld’s charge stuck to her task, however, and is fancied to take this nice prize for a stable very much in form.
Aidan O’Brien’s Hail The Hero, grabbed late and beaten a neck into second by Vert De Grece at Leopardstown, has to get the vote in the Camas Park EBF Maiden.
Vert De Grece gave the form a big boost when chasing home Gleneagles in a Group 2 at the Curragh on Sunday.
At Bellewstown, Des McDonogh’s Morga can get back on the winning trail in the Good Enuf To Eat Event Catering Mares’ Hurdle.
She’s a smart sort when on song and things didn’t really work out for her last time when third to McKinley and Ridestan at Galway.
Aidan O’Brien’s Draco should prove hard to beat in the Awards And Gifts Maiden Hurdle.
He failed to win a bumper, but made an excellent start over jumps at Galway when three parts of a length runner-up behind Willie Mullins’ Most Peculiar.
Hash Brown (fourth), Gusty Rock (fifth) and Tawseef (sixth) have all scored in the meantime.
Mullins’ Bosman Rule can make a winning debut over flights in the Bet Online atthetote.com Maiden Hurdle.
He finally got his head in front in a bumper at Cork on his latest appearance and the third, Young Dillon, went in at Downpatrick on Monday.
