Killarney Race 1 - Killarney Avenue Hotel Maiden Hurdle
NORTH SHORE (2) performed below best in recent runs including the G1 Triumph Hurdle at Cheltenham and the G2 Juvenile Hurdle at Fairyhouse. This looks a suitable race for him and a return to form is anticipated. PORTNAHAPPLE (10) has not raced since finishing second on the flat over 2414m at Curragh. Now joins the Willie Mullins yard for his jumps debut and is sure to be competitive. WHATS NEW (4) missed the placings past two starts including a maiden hurdle at Bellewstown. Capable of improving. OSCO FLYER (8) is an unraced gelding by Affinisea out of Osco Mosco. Profiles as one who could feature.

Second-up today. First-up after four months finished fourth of 15 starters at Cork on April 5 over 3319m, 50 len behind Bartholomew carrying 71.5kg at $51. Previously second-up finished sixth of 8 starters at Nottingham on May 20 over 2011m, 8 len behind Serenity Blue with 58kg at $17. Meets a tough line-up and place prospects appear best.
