Punchestown Race 4 - 50,000 Euros Betvictor Graduation Bonus Series Mares Maiden Hurdle
AFFINITY ROCK (1) debuted under Rules with a 20.5L sixth attempting a 3900m maiden hurdle at Naas. Selected to register a win. The experienced MILANAWAY (8) has disappointed racing among handicap hurdle company in recent starts. Expected to go well switching to a maiden contest. Kingston Hill mare CREADAN GRACE (2) is a half-sister to a couple of winners. Dangerous debuting for a top stable. MAYO SHIROCCO (7) won by 3L contesting a 4850m point-to-point at Tattersalls Farm in October. Warrants close consideration.

Five-year-old mare (Kingston Hill - Tenerife Pearl) making her debut. Not seen on the track yet so hard to assess. Nice profile and expected to measure up.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign 11 of 14 starters at Naas December 16 over 3922m, 30 len behind Interchangeable carrying 72kg at $67. When resuming last campaign 9 of 13 runners at Tipperary November 22 over 3319m, slow track; 38 len behind Moylussa with 72kg at $9. Returning from a break and impossible to recommend on what she has shown so far.

Freshened for 57 days. Last run finished ninth of 12 starters at Limerick on December 26 over 4023m, 61 len behind Millstream Lady carrying 67kg at $19. Run before finished 12th of 19 starters at this track on December 10 over 4828m, 21 len behind Shantou Princess with 73kg at $13. Plenty of tries but looks well placed and is worth including.

Second-up today. First-up after two months raced on the pace prior to fading ran last in a small field at Limerick on January 28 over 3218m, on heavy track; 61 len behind Road Exile with 68kg at $81. Previously second-up finished third of 8 starters at Boulta P2p on November 23 over 4828m, 11 len behind Rosa Diaz with 57.5kg. Fitter for the run but rates a place chance only.
