Cork Race 1 - Dermot Casey Tree Care Maiden Hurdle
ETERNAL ECHO (3) may register a win switching to hurdles following a 6.8L third in the 3200m Listed Champion (Pro/Am) Flat Race at Limerick. DARK OAK (16) looks a major threat on the back of a 6.3L third in a 3200m hurdle at Limerick. JACKO STAR (5) came home 13L fourth contesting a 3200m maiden hurdle at Navan. Shortlist. HILLSTAR BLUES (4) is likely capable of better than he showed when 35L ninth contesting a jumpers flat race at Thurles.
