Thurles Race 4 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Maiden Hurdle
FOUND A DIAMOND (3) unplaced two back in a maiden hurdle (3218m) at Listowel. Atoned for that run last time finishing second when less than 1L away from the winner. Only needs to jump well to feature. WARTIME LEADER (7) improved in latest running fourth beaten 6L in a jumpers flat at Tramore. Sure to be thereabout making hurdle debut. REBEL BUDZ (5) was returning from a layoff when 17L away in fourth at Listowel. Capable of much more this time hurdling. CHISUM (2) returns from a short break. Turned in a better effort last start when fourth in a maiden hurdle (4425m) at Downpatrick. Place chance
