Wheres Maud Gone¹³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan

5/6

Won first 2 starts in bumpers (for S. Curling on debut). Creditable fifth in Cheltenham listed event on 2021/22 return, but only seventh in listed race at Taunton on hurdles bow in December. Can do better.

Mrs Paisley²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-10| J: Danny McMenamin| T: Patrick Turley

7/2

Offered something to work on when sixth in juvenile hurdle at Cork (2m) on debut and stepped up on that effort when runner-up in Clonmel maiden (19.6f) last month. Could go well.

Forecasts

Wheres Maud Gone (5/6), Mrs Paisley (7/2), Bright Sunbird (13/2), Emorelle (13/2), Blue Collar Glory (20/1)

EMORELLE has shaped with promise over hurdles and can get off the mark at the fourth attempt. The 5-y-o again caught the eye late on last time, where she had plenty to do but ran on and finished with running left. She remains open to improvement and is preferred to Wheres Maud Gone, who could do better having shown fairly useful form in bumpers. The 4-y-o Mrs Paisley can also go well on only her third start.
