Ballinrobe Race 1 - Auray Assessors Fillies Maiden Hurdle
ISMAHANE (1) failed to settle on hurdling debut at Thurles in January. Fancied that day and still showed something to work on finishing fourth. Capable of taking a step forward. WITCHES FAMILIAR (11) is a French recruit for the powerful Townend-Mullins combination. Midfield efforts on two outings last autumn. Sure to have been well educated for this first foray over obstacles. URGENT WHISPER (10) filled the placings in a pair of maidens at Killarney last summer. A little disconcerting she hasn't been sighted since. Leading hope. CINATING (3) has shaped with promise across three runs in jumpers flat races. Couldn't dismiss.

Impressive in recent runs. Last run finished fourth of 11 starters at Cork on May 10 over 3319m, 5.5 len behind Aine with 72kg at $7. The run before finished fourth of 7 runners at Limerick in the LR on March 22 over 3218m, 12 len behind Coole Cafe with 70kg at $7. Has the ability to be in the finish. Certainly worth including.
