Out of his depth in a couple of Grade One bumpers last spring, Ocean Of Mercy should strike for Paul Hennessy and the Turner family, better known in the world of Greyhound racing, in this evening’s RED MILLS Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle at the first stage of Bellewstown’s two-day August meeting.

The Ask gelding showed plenty of promise in two starts before contesting Cheltenham’s Champion Bumper, won by Facile Vega — he finished a well-beaten 14th — and showed even less when tailed off in the Grade One at Punchestown, also won by Facile Vega.
