Ballinrobe Race 3 - Sheridan Electric Maiden Hurdle (Div 1)
MANOIR DE MIRANDE (4) sets the standard after a solid spring, twice placed over 2m–2m1f and last time 3rd at Bellewstown over 3447m, beaten 11.5L. THE STORE BOY (12) rates a key chance dropping back into a maiden after a 2nd at Kilbeggan over 3319m, beaten 2.25L, and earlier 7th in a Leopardstown novice handicap. MAXFORT (8) has recent maiden hurdle form, including 3rd at Cork over 3392m and 4th at Thurles, and can figure. PRESS THE BUTTON (3) brings a Thurles flat win over 3174m before contesting a Listed race at Navan, and looks an each-way hope back to this level.
