Tramore Race 2 - O'Driscolls Irish Whiskey Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)
CROOKED PATH (9) remains a maiden after ten starts over hurdles but has placed on six of those outings. Strong form from contests through the autumn and if back at that level he will be hard to catch. Owner JP McManus has three runners and the clear pick is HEY NOW (5) who displayed significant ability on debut and looked in need of the run over hurdles on soft ground last month at Clonmel. This looks more realistic. LE TATOUE MADRIK (7) now has cheekpieces fitted having fallen at Gowran Park last month. More needed. EASY LISTENING (13) has a hood fitted for her debut and she makes appeal on breeding. Market check.
