Limerick Race 2 - Boyle Sports Irish Ebf Shannon Spray Mares Novice Hurdle (Grade 3)
HOW'S HANNAH (6) remains unbeaten both starts for Willie Mullins. Managed to take a maiden hurdle at Punchestown three weeks ago and holding plenty of ability could prove capable of handling this rise in grade. ZANOOSH (2) completed her hat-trick winning a listed event at Navan last month. Sets a good standard and will prove hard to stop aiming for a fourth straight win. APPLES JANE (6) disappointed running behind the just mentioned. This new trip might unlock more improvement though does need to. CHANGEYOURSTARS (5) was second in a G3 event last time and back amongst her own sex makes plenty of appeal.

Third-up today. First-up to post a big 13 len win. Punchestown on January 12 over 3218m defeating Think It Through carrying 75kg at $3.30 in a flat. Second-up favourite; won by 2 len Punchestown on February 18 over 4626m slow going defeating Torpille Dagrostis with 73kg at $1.50 in a hurdle. Definite winning chance. Another big run is on the cards.

Resumes off a 32 day letup. Last run finished fifth of 7 starters at Navan in the LR on February 8 over 4023m, on a wet track; 15 len behind Zanoosh carrying 67.5kg at $19. Race before won by 0.5 len Fairyhouse on January 15 over 4023m slow going defeating Noemie De La Vis with 73kg at $29 in a hurdle. Take on trust. Prefer to see her back in form before considering.
