Ballinrobe Race 3 - Sheridan Electric Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)
NET BOY (8) looked much improved finishing 6L third over 3218m at Fairyhouse last time. Selected to continue the upward trajectory. NOTICEBOX (10) progressed when 13L third tackling 3520m at Down Royal on most recent outing. Main danger. WESTERN PRINCESS (15) is the sole representative of Willie Mullins. Impossible to discount. EYEEYE (4) holds top-three claims delivering second hurdle start.
