FormscanBy Alan Magee - ASTELIA (9) has been a frustrating sort to follow filling the runner-up spot seven times in maidens including three times this season. The daughter of Sea The Stars had How’s Ellie well behind when second to Cocofred at Roscommon but needs to bounce back after disappointing in a Galway handicap. How’s Ellie has showed much improved form since and still held every chance when falling at the last at Ballinrobe last month, with Texas Red (also declared here on Thursday) finishing third. Dawn Coming has also run up a sequence of placed efforts including when third at Killarney this summer.

A hurdle for four years old and upwards, maidens at starting THAT HAVE NOT WON A RACE UNDER ANY N.H. RULES OR RULES OF RACING
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 10lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 12lbs. Mares allowed 7lbs.
