Punchestown Race 4 - Matchbook 50:50 Graduation Series Mares Maiden Hurdle
HOW'S HANNAH (1) won a 4828m Ballynoe point to close the last campaign then resumed scoring by 13L a 3218m jumpers flat here. With a spotless profile is the one to beat again. TORPILLE DAGROSTIS (7) missed the placings in a jumpers flat at Limerick then improved attempting 3822m at this venue finishing second. In the mix. LADY COSMO (4) returns from an eighty day absence after a 4828m Ballindenisk success between the flags on the only run last time in work. Could have an impact fresh. Warrants serious consideration. THE JAM LADY (6) debuted contesting 3218m at Fairyhouse finishing 24L sixth. Natural progress might take her closer. Worth including.

At only start last preparation won by 1.75 len Ballynoe P2p on March 23 over 4828m on rain affected going defeating Bunty Kearney with 60kg in a jumps. Fitter and expected to go on with it.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, finished ninth of 16 runners at Thurles on December 20 over 3218m, 36 len behind Lennon Grove carrying 71.5kg at $34. Last start finished seventh of 13 runners at this track on January 12 over 3218m, 64 len behind How's Hannah with 71.5kg at $201. May appreciate the longer journey here but doesn't rate one of the main chances.

Was when unwanted in the market at debut, finished seventh of 16 runners at this track on January 26 over 3822m, on rain affected going; 69 len behind Blue Velvet with 73kg at $251. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.

Resuming after a break; having had just one run last campaign won by 0.5 len Ballindenisk P2p on November 30 over 4828m slow going defeating Oh My Jenny carrying 57.5kg in a jumps. First up last campaign finished sixth of 13 runners at Liscarroll P2p on March 30 over 4828m, 24 len behind Malina Road with 57.5kg. Could pose a challenge on last run.
