Punchestown

Tomorrow, May 1, 2025Hurdle2m

SIXANDAHALF shaped like a mare out of the top drawer when runner-up in the Dawn Run Mares' Novices' at Cheltenham and should take all the beating. Main danger Karoline Banbou was fourth in the same race at the Festival and will likely appreciate a return to this trip and ground having not been seen to best effect at Fairyhouse 11 days ago. Down in distance with the addition of headgear, Mozzies Sister may bounce back from a disappointing effort last time.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful hurdler who landed a 2m Mares' Listed event on penultimate start, prior to a respectable handicap debut tenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (18f, good to soft, 12/1) 88 days ago. Faces an even tougher task.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful hurdler landed a double in a Bellewstown mares' hurdle in the Autumn but was below form when last seen over hurdles. Confirmed herself in good form when runner-up in a maiden on the Flat last month but faces an uphill task back over timber.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful on Flat in France, successful twice on AW in 2024. Sold out of Fabrice Chappet's yard for €30,000 and is unbeaten in 3 starts over hurdles for Nicky Henderson, latest when heavily odds-on, winning 4-runner Chepstow Novice (2m) on the bridle. Up in grade but remains unexposed.

    Fairly useful hurdler. Latest win in hurdle at Thurles in November. Tougher task when 66/1, 12 lengths sixth of 8 to Irancy in Hardy Eustace Novices' Hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, good) 25 days ago. Again has plenty to find.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful hurdler shaped as though still in good form when 13¾ lengths fifth of 11 to Familiar Dreams in Shannon Spray Mares Novices' Hurdle at Limerick (22.7f, good to soft) 49 days ago, raced too keenly. Wears first-time cheekpieces and will need to improve to trouble the best of these.

    Verdict
    Off the mark in a Cork maiden (16.3f) in November and wasn't discredited faced with a stiff task when 19¾ lengths tenth of 23 to Air of Entitlement in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle (66/1) at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) 49 days ago. We may see the best of her over further.

    Verdict
    Ran well when fourth of 23 to Air of Entitlement in Dawn Run Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham (16.8f, good to soft) and is best forgiven latest run when well held over a longer trip in more testing conditions at Fairyhouse (20f) 11 days ago. One for the shortlist back at 2m.

    Verdict
    Placed in Grade 1 company on penultimate start over 22f but disappointed over the same trip when failing to justify market support, fourth of 11 to Familiar Dreams in Shannon Spray Mares Novices' Hurdle at Limerick. Respected back in trip with headgear fitted but will need to jump better.

    Verdict
    Useful stayer on the Flat made a smooth transition to hurdling when winning on debut at Fairyhouse in January. Even better on second hurdles start when runner-up in the Dawn Run Mares Novice at Cheltenham, powered through the race (only collared dying strides). Looks the one to beat.
