Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle (80-109)
2m 4f
Going: Good
Surface: Turf
Draw Advantage: NoneAn ultra-competitive affair, with the hat-trick seeking ROYAL EAGLE appearing the safest option. She was a comfortable winner of the festival opener at Galway in July and followed up on the level at Tramore. The four-year-old is clearly progressing and her opening mark of 106 could prove to be rather lenient. There is another six last time out winners in the line-up. Killoughteen and Sean Says were both successful at Wexford earlier this month, with the former now making her debut in handicap company. She will again be ridden by her part-owner Anthony Bustin who claims a valuable 7lb. Highland Penny came home 10 lengths to the good at Tramore in June and he is sure to have plenty of supporters, while Killarney winner Shannon Gray (fourth 12 months ago) is one of two Eoin McCarthy representatives set to take part. Pour The Wine, Female Approach and Lonesome Day are others to keep on side.
