Galway Race 4 - Colm Quinn Bmw Mares Mdn Hurdle

LIGHT UP THE DARK (5) has performed to a fair level in staying handicaps on the flat since landing a pair of national hunt flat races early 2025. Arrives fit from that sphere. Expect he could be good enough to take this first up. Point winner SIMPLY NATURAL (7) claimed second spot on her opening two hurdling efforts. Was 7.5L fourth at Punchestown (3900m) rounding off the year. Looks the main threat. HOLLY'S THUNDER (4) finished a distant third tackling a big field flat race at the last-named venue during May. Will benefit from that experience. ESTEIO (8) is a newcomer by Crystal Ocean for the Thomas Cooper stable. One to keep an eye on.

She is resuming after a five months break. Finished off last campaign 10 of 24 runners at Punchestown June 6 over 3319m, 39 len behind Lizzie Twigg with 72kg at $151. At debut didn't finish the race at Fairyhouse April 4 over 3218m. Can't see her playing a major role here.

First ever start ran 4 of 9 starters at Ballindenisk P2p January 10 over 4828m, on heavy track; 18 len behind Phantom Of Delight carrying 60kg. Needs to do much more.

Resuming from a lengthy break. Having raced just once last preparation finished 11th of 17 runners at Listowel on September 27 2025 over 3218m, 35 len behind Blue Waters with 66.5kg at $41. When resuming last campaign didn't finish the race at Curraghmore P2p on April 20 2025 over 4828m. This looks a tough line-up.

Last run finished tenth of 17 runners at Naas on October 11 over 3218m, slow track; 7 len behind Abbotsford carrying 56.5kg at $9.50. The run before finished 19th of 30 starters at Curragh on September 27 over 3419m, in the wet; 21 len behind Chally Chute carrying 55.5kg at $17. Chance to bounce back to form that can win this race. Big chance making her return to the obstacles.

Freshened for 51 days. Last run finished 11th of 13 runners at Down Royal on September 4 over 3721m, 25 len behind Boxing Great with 58kg at $19. The start before that; finished seventh of 19 starters at this track on July 29 over 3319m, 18 len behind Cock And Bull carrying 60.5kg at $67. Continues to improve. Key chance who looks sure to be right in the finish.

Jumped at very big odds at debut, finished 11th of 13 starters at Gowran Park on October 2 over 3218m, 89 len behind Ivatt carrying 70kg at $81. Looks tested this line-up. Hard to recommend after that first run.

Resumes off a 29 day letup. Last start finished sixth of 12 starters at Listowel on September 26 over 3218m, 39 len behind Local Resident with 66.5kg at $15. Run before finished tenth of 12 runners at Tramore on August 16 over 3319m, 86 len behind Village Dream with 73.5kg at $13. Doubt she will play much of a role in this.
