Navan Race 2 - Pick Your Places At Boyle Sports Mares Maiden Hurdle
ROYAL HILLSBOROUGH (6) arrives in strong form following three placed efforts on the flat. Latest close second in a G2 jumpers flat over the distance at Leopardstown puts her in pole position making hurdling debut. Former flat winner and Listed place-getter GALILEO DAME (2) managed to place three times from five hurdle attempts. Needs to bounce back from a below par display over 3620m at Leopardstown. Likely contender. BABY FISH (1) is a yet to race filly by Sir Percy out of Fontaine Riant. Warrants a market check. THE DOTSKI (10) finished a respectable fifth debuting at Fairyhouse racecourse. Improvement anticipated second-up. Something for the Multiples: SOUND JUDGEMENT (9)

Useful mare. Resumes off a 33 day letup. Last outing finished fourth of 16 starters at Punchestown on January 26 over 3822m, on heavy track; 24 len behind Blue Velvet with 70kg at $8.50. Run before finished ninth of 25 starters at Naas on January 9 over 3218m, 30 len behind Future Prospect carrying 69kg at $4.30. Has been racing well. Appeals as an each-way hope on best figures.

Five-year-old mare by Vadamos out of Bag Of Tricks has taken a long time to make it to the track. Having her first start today. Tough assignment at her first outing so tempted to favour others.

Having third race start. At debut, finished third of 13 runners at Punchestown on December 31 over 3721m, 8 len behind Lilannbee with 75kg at $2.40. Second-up pulled up at Fairyhouse on January 15 over 4023m. Making headway every start. Worth another chance and cannot be discounted lightly.

Was at long odds at debut, finished fifth of 15 starters at Fairyhouse on February 3 over 3218m, on a wet track; 14 len behind Dunsy Rock carrying 73kg at $29. Open to good improvement. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another try.
