Killarney Race 3 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Novice Hurdle
BROTHER WALFRID (2) disappointed latest at Galway (4100m) though looked progressive before that landing a maiden success at Punchestown in June. Worth keeping on side. Stable companion LOCH CUAN (1) must shoulder a penalty after winning a pair of novice races at Cartmel this summer over 4400m. Rates a Definite threat. Mullins stablemate DIAMOND DU BERLAIS (5) started out well for this yard but failed to make much of an impression since. Finished 4L away in third at this track last month and is worth giving another chance. LOCAL NEWS (4) arrives unbeaten after scoring twice back in May. Consider.
