Clonmel Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Beginners Chase
FANCY GIRL (2) fell early on chase debut at Thurles three weeks ago. She is talented and it's far too soon to write off her chances tackling larger obstacles. Warrants plenty of respect. KILBARRY SAINT (4) did well to finish third in the G3 Quevega Mares Hurdle at Punchestown on soft ground last month. Holds vital experience with fences and could prove the main danger. GAOTH CHUIL (3) has not been at her best this season and is yet to convince attempting fences. Holds ability and is worth giving another chance. NEON DIAMOND (5) represents Gordon Elliott and there is scope for further improvement when taking on fences.

Racing second-up today. First-up after 10 months didn't finish the race at Thurles on March 5 over 3621m. Previously second-up finished seventh of 8 runners at Fairyhouse in the G3 Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle on January 25 2025 over 3621m, on slow going 19 len behind Aurora Vega with 68kg at $5. Forgive first-up failure. On her best form could prove hard to beat.

Racing well. Last outing finished second of 9 runners at Thurles on March 5 over 3621m, on slow going 12 len behind Karamoja carrying 73kg at $8.50. The run before finished fourth of 7 starters at Naas on January 9 over 4023m, on slow going 17 len behind The Great Nudie carrying 73kg at $34. Likely to play a major role.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign 13 of 15 starters at Gowran Park October 20 over 2414m, on heavy track; 39 len behind Narlita carrying 59kg at $17. When resuming last campaign 5 of 18 runners at Curragh March 29 over 2414m, slow track; 4.5 len behind Leinster carrying 59.5kg at $13. This class tougher and others rate better.
