Enniskerry can make a winning debut over hurdles in the Thurlesraces.ie Maiden Hurdle, the third race on this afternoon’s seven-race card.

Barry Connell’s seven-year-old boasts smart bumper form, having twice finished runner-up to the high-class Letsbeclearaboutit. The winner has since franked the form by finishing runner-up to Sir Gerhard in a listed bumper and to Kilcruit in a Grade 2 bumper.
