Kilbeggan Race 1 - Betxs Mares Mdn Hurdle
IVANA D'ALCO (7) made all to record an easy 6L pointing success at Turtulla in January. Hooded for professional debut and expected to make a bright start to her career. One to beat first-up. LUCIOLE DES BORDES (9) is a stablemate of the selection and open to improvement following a creditable fifth under Paul Townend on Tramore hurdling debut. Makes appeal eased right down in trip. BRAVE LADY (4) arrives after back-to-back seconds in jumpers flat contests at Limerick and Punchestown. Holds claims if there is a market lead delivering initial jumps outing. LUMIERE DU LARGE (2) made the frame in three from nine hurdle races. Place chance.

Resuming after three months. Finished off last campaign 14 of 16 starters at Punchestown in the G3 Weatherbys Ireland EBF Mares Bumper April 29 over 3319m, 58 len behind Even Tho with 75kg at $23. When resuming last campaign 4 of 13 starters at Down Royal March 17 over 3520m, 7 len behind Lizzie Twigg carrying 75kg at $6. May well prove too smart for these first up.

Resumes off a 42 day letup. Last outing finished fifth of 10 starters at Tramore on May 29 over 4325m, 12 len behind Poetic Twist carrying 73kg at $2.60. The start before that; finished fourth of 8 runners at Clonmel on April 14 over 4023m, 17 len behind Thelittleballerina carrying 75kg at $1.80. Looks a strong winning chance today.
