Wexford Race 2 - Wexfordwalkingtrails.ie (C & G) Maiden Hurdle
CAPTAINS SPEECH (2) was denied by just 1.25L at Cork on rules debut. Looks highly promising and could yet prove much better than this grade. Can continue progressing and expected to be very hard to beat. LE MOULIN ROUGE (8) holds form claims judging on a 4.5L second at Leopardstown. Freshened and primed to go close under a useful apprentice weight allowance. GREEN ANGEL (5) showed ability on all starts so far. Finds a more suitable opportunity. Winning hope. SIR TOPHAM HATT (16) has been in good form winning back to back points of late. Revisits rules here and will prove a threat to all if getting a run. IMARAJAN (6) was last seen placing in a good flat handicap last October. Each way claims following absence.
