Punchestown Race 3 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Maiden Hurdle
FAMILIAR DREAMS (1) didn't jump well prior to finishing 9.8L third over 3900m at this venue. Selected to record her sixth career win. TOAD HALL (13) debuted with a 2.5L second tackling 3350m at Clonmel April 2023. Danger to all switching to hurdles. CAPPA HILL (4) must be considered despite fading when 14.5L fourth in a 3400m maiden hurdle at Cork last month. Point-to-point winner LEAKY CAULDRON (7) failed to shine contesting a 4000m jumpers flat race at Leopardstown. Better expected switching to hurdles.
