Fairyhouse Race 2 - Declan And Maria Coombes Memorial Handicap Hurdle

MODE AVION (2) has taken pleasingly to hurdling since joining this stable. Wasn't beaten far by chief rival SOPELANA (1) on first attempt in November. Receives weight from that horse now armed with experience and going into a handicap. Top selection. The second mentioned is a useful filly with three victories to her name over obstacles and contested Listed races in between her recent wins. Big chance in a race of this nature. WHATS NEW (4) is not entirely straightforward but has shown aptitude and is second up now after a break. SEARCOG (3) has just missed the frame so far and wouldn't have to raise his game a lot.

Useful filly. Last run ran last at Navan in the LR on February 8 over 4023m, on a wet track; 24 len behind Zanoosh carrying 65.5kg at $29. Before that won by 2.25 len Punchestown on January 26 over 3218m on heavy track defeating Bibe Mus carrying 70kg at $9 in a hurdle. Gets a chance to win. Hard to beat on best form.

Useful gelding. Last outing finished third of 12 runners at Thurles on January 29 over 3218m, on rain affected going; 15 len behind Charme De Faust with 73kg at $8. The start before that; finished fourth of 11 starters at Limerick on December 26 over 3218m, on heavy track; 15 len behind Bertutea carrying 70kg at $4. Sure to improve again. Strong winning chance.
