Fairyhouse Race 1 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Maiden Hurdle
SALSINHA (13) Fresh after a break. Did well when 3rd last time in a hurdle at Thurles and showing consistent performance in races. Can win. ALLITERATION (1) In the money when 2nd last start in a hurdle at Leopardstown and good career start. Winkers go on for the first time but down in trip. Underrated. SIMPLY NATURAL (15) Placed 2nd last start in a hurdle at Fairyhouse. Expected to settle towards the tail. Should be competitive in this race at a bit of odds. COOL NATIVE (6) First up after a break. Placed 3rd last time in a hurdle at Navan on a heavy surface and fitter for debut run. Respect.

Was competitive when 2nd last start in a hurdle at Leopardstown and putting a tidy record together. Winkers go on for the first time but dropping in distance. Serious contender.

Tidy effort when 2nd last start in a hurdle at Fairyhouse. Prefers to settle towards the rear. One of the punters top hopes at a very generous price.
