Navan Race 3 - Irish Stallion Farms EBF Novice Hurdle
KALYPSO'CHANCE (1) First up after 14 weeks and was competitive when 2nd first up last preparation in a hurdle at Down Royal. Will be pushing for a forward position early. Looks promising. SANTO SOSPIR (2) Subpar when 6th last time in a hurdle at Leopardstown. Expecting improvement and putting a tidy record together. Jack Kennedy rates highly aboard. Shows good early pace. Can have an impact. TIMESAREACHANGING (4) Did well when 3rd last start in a hurdle at Gowran Park and showing consistent performance in races. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 3 attempts. Live winning chance. SHABBY HILL (3) Fresh from a spell. Winner by 3/4L last time in a hurdle at Punchestown and will benefit with the weight drop. Include in chances.

Was $9.50 and nothing special when 6th last time in a hurdle at Leopardstown. Expecting improvement and good career start. Should come to hand quickly. In for the fight.

First up after a break. Showed promise when winning by 3/4L last time in a hurdle at Punchestown and gets a reduction in weight. In the mix against these.

Looked good when 3rd last start in a hurdle at Gowran Park on a heavy track and promising career start. Will go close.

Jumped at $151.00 and lacklustre showing when 7th last start in a hurdle at Naas but rising in trip. Expected to settle towards the tail. In a lot of trouble.
