Listowel Race 2 - Kinisla Cheestrings Irish Ebf Mares Hurdle
LE NEZ CREUX (1) started out for these connections managing a good second in a chase at Ayr (3300m) during April. Fair effort on sole start since at Galway last month. Solid credentials for this test now tackling the smaller obstacles. TUMBLING IN (4) scored readily by 9.5L a Roscommon maiden (4000m) latest. Heading in the right direction and must be considered. MAJESTIC FORCE (2) performed to a good level so far but seemingly been plagued with a few issues. Returns here from sixteen months off. Respect. EASTER BONNET (3) couldn't build upon her Cork success when fourth in a mares event three weeks ago. Certainly not written off.

Recent form hard to fault. Last outing finished fourth in a small field at Bellewstown on August 26 over 3419m, 17 len behind Daboya with 71kg at $4.50. Race to post a big 8 len win. Cork on August 3 over 3419m defeating Fraher Field with 73kg at $7 in a hurdle. Likely to make amends for the last-start miss.

Useful mare. Freshened for 47 days. Last start to post a big 9 len win. Roscommon on August 4 over 4023m defeating Casper Charlie with 72kg at $2.10 in a hurdle. Race before finished third of 15 starters at Killarney on July 17 over 4626m, 7 len behind Pets Georgina with 69.5kg at $3.80. Forward showing expected. No surprise to see her in the finish again.
