Ballinrobe Race 2 - Hollymount Nursing Home Hcp Hurdle

O'GRADY CRACKER (2) won easily the two recent starts since a visor was applied latterly scoring by 8L over 3600m at Cork three weeks back. Takes a predictable hit from the handicapper but cannot be dismissed in this current form. MANOIR DE MIRANDE (1) landed his second victory in a row at the venue a month ago. Defeated 2.75L by a smart rival at Sligo since (3600m). Clear threat. OCEAN MURPHY (5) is steadily improving. Won by 5.5L at Wexford in July then finished 3L second when following up tackling track and trip. Shortlist. HOUNDSWORTH (3) is worth some thought on the back of his recent fourth here trying 3300m.

Wexford on July 23 over 4023m defeating Costanuci with 65kg at $10 in a hurdle. Fought on last time. Must be respected.
