Ballinrobe Race 1 - Adare Manor Opportunity Mdn Hurdle
COOLISHAEL (2) made a positive start over obstacles when 8.5L second at Punchestown (3300m) two months ago. Also made the frame attempting a national hunt flat race previously. Of clear interest in this modest event. MINELLA POST (5) was travelling well tackling a Cork maiden two back when taking a nasty fall. No show in a fierce handicap since. This looks a much more suitable assignment. COLLIERS QUAY (1) indicated ability in points prior to finishing fifth contesting a flat race at Galway (3600m) last month. Likely to progress. It's hard to get excited about the rest of the form on offer so newcomer MYHERO LA COLMINE (12) might challenge.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming didn't finish the race at Cork on July 10 over 3520m. Second run from a spell pulled up at Galway on August 1 over 3419m. Forgive that run and is a definite winning chance.
