Downpatrick Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Mares Mdn Hurdle
Recent point-to-point winner SPRING WALTZ (8) is a five-year-old mare by Shirocco out of Definite Income on debut for the in-form Henry De Bromhead stable. Looks a serious player first-up. The Gordon Elliott-trained ARDEEN JOY (2) has found the frame once from three hurdle runs. Only 1L down and prominent before falling at the last attempting a maiden hurdle at Limerick in latest. Can bounce back with a bold bid. BROSNA QUEEN (1) is open to plenty of improvement up in trip and is partnered by Ricky Doyle who is enjoying a good month. Feared. MISS JOCUND (6) wears first-time cheekpieces. Holds place chances.
