Punchestown Race 2 - Irish Stallion Farms Ebf Maiden Hurdle
BOEDIC (3) represents a leading trainer and jockey combination. Placed third on most recent appearance in a Down Royal maiden hurdle last month. Expected to challenge once again. COURT COMPLIANCE (4) has never missed top-three in five career starts. Finished second last time in a Navan maiden hurdle a month ago. May go one better. NEWBROOK DIAMOND (5) was racing consistently with one win and three placed efforts in four starts then failed to sustain that form running fifth tackling a Naas maiden hurdle last time out. Might bounce back. IT'S TIM (1) is the pick of the hurdling debutants transferring from the flat.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, finished fifth of 15 starters at this track on February 4 over 3218m, 13 len behind Too Bossy For Us with 75.5kg at $51. Better for the run but looks tested in this line-up.
