We have 5 runners in Killarney today.
Our first runner of the afternoon is CREADAN GRACE who has her first star in handicap company in the Adare Manor Opportunity Handicap Hurdle. She’s been well held in her 3 starts over flights to date but should come into her own in this grade. James Smith takes the ride.
HOWDOYALIKEHERHOME runs in the Cinco Patricio’s Handicap Hurdle. He’s been running consistently on the better ground conditions and we are hoping for a good run from him. Jack Kennedy rides.
In the novice chase we send out BOSTON ROVER. A winner of his beginners chase last time out, this is just this 3rd start over fences. He seems to be a horse on an upward trajectory and should appreciate the step up in trip. Jack Kennedy rides.
Our final runners of the afternoon are Mars Harper and Riaan in the O’Donoghue Ring Collection Handicap Chase. MARS HARPER has some very credible runs to his name, including 4th at the Cheltenham Festival this year. His form has tailed off slightly in his last 3 runs but hopefully he can bounce back today and put in a solid effort under Jack Kennedy. RIANN is another who form has slightly tailed off but he was a close 2nd at the Punchestown Festival this year over 2m4f so should appreciate the step back in trip. Danny Gilligan rides.
