Wexford Race 1 - Connolly's Red Mills Irish Ebf Auction Maiden Hurdle
KISH BANK (1) will need to defy extra weight. Comes here with two solid second places behind him including by 5.5L in February at Fairyhouse. Leading chance. UFOURIA (9) climbs in trip after running 4.75L fourth here last month over 3200m. Ground to suit. Consider. HAPPY ME (8) is progressing with each start this season. Was 1.25L second at Thurles in January hanging left while challenging. MISTER FROSTIE (5) improved on his second hurdling attempt managing a 16L fifth at Navan last month on heavy ground.

Third-up today. Resuming finished second of 10 starters at Gowran Park on January 23 over 3218m, 3 len behind Coral River with 73.5kg at $3.80. Second-up finished second of 12 starters at Fairyhouse on February 22 over 3218m, on slow going 5.5 len behind Great Attitude carrying 75.5kg at $4.30. Fitter now and making headway every start. Fitter and looms as a significant threat here.
