Tramore Race 3 - O'Driscolls Irish Whiskey Maiden Hurdle (Div 2)
TIME IS A THIEF (10) connections now reach for a hood having weakening out of things and falling at the final hurdle at Cork in December. Freshened up since then and will have been well schooled. The one to beat. THE MONKEY POLE (9) ran well in both maiden hurdles last summer and then switched to a jumpers flat contest and ran poorly. Of real interest back over hurdles. LORD LACKENDARRA (6) well exposed after eleven starts in jumpers flat events. Needs to be better than his hurdle debut. LE QUESTIONNAIRE (5) too bad to be true on debut for this yard and more is expected with Jack Kennedy on board.

Having third race start. First race start finished fourth of 11 starters at Ballindenisk P2p on November 30 over 4828m, on slow going 11 len behind New Rules with 60kg. Went for a break before returning finished 15th of 25 runners at Fairyhouse on April 4 over 4023m, 130 len behind Midnight Jet carrying 75.5kg at $81. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.
