Review thurles 30th Nov

< Dawn Shadow confirmed the promise of her recent Listed second by going one better in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Hurdle at Thurles.

Dot Love's five-year-old beat all bar Forge Meadow at Punchestown recently, yet was still allowed to go off at 6-1 in a market dominated by Willie Mullins' returning Karalee

Whereas the favourite couldn't go with them when Lesley Dawn and Dawn Shadow quickened on the home turn, Dawn Shadow picked up when Rachael Blackmore asked her to go and win her race, and she stuck her neck out to dispose of Lesley Dawn by four and a half lengths.< Jett broke through over fences with a dominant display in the Killinan Beginners Chase.

The Jessica Harrington-trained 2-1 shot went into a share of the lead when early pacesetter Balbir Du Mathan made a mistake at the third-last and then got the better of Montalbano prior to that one coming down at the final fence, paving the way for Jett to beat Balbir Du Mathan by 16 lengths.

Mullins was out of luck with Karalee and Montalbano, but landed the Cahir Maiden Hurdle courtesy of Real Steel

The French import was sent off the 8-13 favourite on his Irish bow and didn't disappoint, quickening four and a half lengths clear of another decent prospect in Daly Tiger < Surrogate Lad made a successful handicap debut in the www.thurlesraces.ie Handicap Chase.

Beaten out of sight in three races last season, Tony Martin's 7-1 chance capitalised on an initial mark of 77 to see off favourite Fiddlers Bow by six and a half lengths.

The application of cheekpieces worked the oracle for Pound A Stroke (40-1), who shed his maiden tag with a resolute defeat of Ard Na Carraig in the Templemore Handicap Hurdle.< The Church Gate (6-1) won the Thurles Handicap Hurdle, while Highandmighty (3-1) took the Holycross Maiden Hurdle.
