Well-bred Parlour one to note The impeccably bred Parlour, winner of her only start for Dermot Weld at the Galway Festival last summer, is an interesting runner for Lusk trainer Adrian McGuinness at Tipperary tomorrow evening in the 50-85 rated nine furlong handicap. The Dansili filly comes from a great Juddmonte family being out of a half-sister to multiple Grade 1 winner Beat Hollow, and the grandam is none other than Irish Oaks winner Wemyss Bight. With such a pedigree for an unbeaten filly it seems incredible that she was snapped up for just 5,000 guineas at Tattersalls last December. “She was bought for breeding by Sheila Laverty, who's an event rider near Summerhill, and runs for a syndicate of her family and a few friends. She decided to sent her down to see what I think, and hopefully tomorrow night will tell the tale,” said McGuinness. “She's a smashing filly who only ran once for Mr Weld, and she did what he wanted her to do. The owners breed for a bit of a hobby, and were taken aback to get her so cheap. She's certainly not showing me that there is anything wrong, and the syndiacte want to have a bit of fun. “She wouldn't want the ground very quick, and just wants a nice ease in it,” he added. The North Co. Dublin handler will run Fearless Falcon and Beau Michael at the upcoming National Hunt Festival meetings. “We decided to bypass Cheltenham with Fearless Falcon and he'll be entered in the Grade 1 juvenile hurdle at Punchestown. He might go for a Grade 2 at Fairyhouse. We bought him for just 12 grand and he's served connections well. “Beau Michael will go to Punchestown for either a novice handicap chase or the two and a half mile handicap hurdle on the Saturday. He struggles to jump out of that soft winter ground, and we've been waiting for the better ground with him. He's entered at Dundalk this Friday and I'm praying that he gets in as he's only third reserve at the moment,” added McGuinness. Alan Magee
