Thurles Race 4 - Adare Manor Opportunity Maiden Hurdle
ARSLAN (1) has been performing well without winning. Once again ran a nice race last time when second in a maiden hurdle at Limerick twenty three days ago 11L behind the winner. No surprise to see him go one better. FIXIOS (5) was third on debut. Slipped up when last seen three months ago and now switching back to hurdles could play a major role. KENTUCKY BEACH (6) returns after a break of two months. Finds the right race and can play a major role. MYSILVERRIVERFEALE (15) resumes after a 192-day layoff. Needs to step forward from her last start sixth. Progression with hurdling likely and is one to consider.

Recent form hard to fault. Last start finished second in a small field at Limerick on February 10 over 3118m, on rain affected going; 11 len behind Tip Of The Wings with 75.5kg at $1.20. Race before finished second of 13 runners at Tramore on January 1 over 3419m, on slow going 5 len behind Stede Bonnet carrying 71.5kg at $1.40. Best form over the jumps stacks up well.

Raced twice to date. When unwanted in the market at debut, finished ninth of 14 runners at this track on February 5 over 4123m, slow track; 46 len behind Puma's Dream with 71.5kg at $101. Last start finished 12th of 16 starters at Clonmel on February 26 over 3922m, on heavy track; 110 len behind Kiely's Place carrying 71.5kg at $301. This looks a bridge too far.

This Jimmy Two Times bred gelding is now four-year-old and his having his first race start. Tough assignment at his first outing so tempted to favour others.

This Shantaram bred filly is now four-year-old and his having her first race start. Doesn't profile as the likely winner.

This Soldier Of Fortune bred filly is now four-year-old and his having her first race start. Purchased for EUR € 15,000 (Goffs - IRE 2022 December National Hunt Sale). Might just need this run but watch the market.
