Fairyhouse Race 5 - Adare Manor Opportunity Mares Maiden Hurdle
HIGH NOTIONS (4) shaped with promise when an encouraging third on Ballinrobe debut last month. Steps up in distance and with improvement anticipated can get off the mark second-up. The Gordon Elliott-trained APPLES JANE (6) has twice made the frame from five jumpers flat runs and rates a serious contender debuting in jumps. Market to guide on chances. NOBLE NAME (1) looked good securing a 2.25L Sligo jumpers flat victory. Needs to rebound from a disappointing effort next time at Down Royal. Definitely one for the placings delivering initial jumps outing. WHITEWINEWEDNESDAY (5) stayed on for third at Navan. Open to progress up in distance.

Useful type. Freshened for 43 days. Last run ran last in a small field at Down Royal on August 29 over 3520m, 14 len behind Run For Mahler with 71.5kg at $6.50. The run before won by 2.25 len Sligo on August 7 over 3721m defeating Run For Mahler with 71.5kg at $7 in a flat. Looks a strong winning chance today.

Was at big odds at debut, finished third of 14 runners at Ballinrobe on September 12 over 3621m, slow track; 3.5 len behind Korinthia carrying 69.5kg at $29. Open to good improvement. Further improved and worth following up.

Last outing finished third of 16 runners at Navan on September 20 over 3822m, 6 len behind Sceptred Isle carrying 74kg at $51. Before that finished ninth of 16 runners at Killarney on August 23 over 3319m, 80 len behind Fast Felix carrying 68.5kg at $26. Continues to make headway. On her best jumping form could prove hard to beat.

Racing second-up today. First-up after four months finished 13th of 16 runners at Navan on September 20 over 3218m, 38 len behind Ade Boy with 68kg at $4. Previously second-up finished fourth of 7 starters at Naas on March 9 over 3218m, slow track; 10 len behind Switch From Diesel carrying 67kg at $4.50. Forgive first-up failure. Fitter and sure to improve sharply.

Raced two times to date. When unwanted in the market at debut, finished seventh of 15 runners at Roscommon on August 5 over 3118m, 23 len behind Laurie Blue with 65kg at $29. Second-up finished 11th of 13 starters at Kilbeggan on August 22 over 3218m, 66 len behind Eye Of A Tiger with 67kg at $126. This looks a stern test.

Last start didn't finish the race at Gowran Park on October 3 over 3319m. The run before finished 11th of 16 runners at Navan on September 20 over 3218m, 29 len behind Ade Boy with 68kg at $17. Prefer to watch at this stage. Not doing enough to warrant consideration.
