FormscanBy Alan Magee - TIME FOR TEA gets the vote in a maiden hurdle for horses that have run at least three times under Rules and not finished in the first three. The Henry de Bromhead-trained mare has progressed steadily in three maiden hurdle starts this term including behind Predators Gold at Punchestown, and last time divided subsequent winners Purse Price and Mount Frisco when fourth to The Other Mozzie at Down Royal’s Christmas meeting. Now Is The Hour looked set to land a gamble when falling two out at Limerick last month and is an obvious threat. Only A Dollar has shown some promise in four starts including behind Binge Worthy at Limerick last month, while others to consider include Midweek Voices, Magic Sadler and Paddy’s Milestone.
A hurdle for five years old and upwards, maidens at starting THAT AT ENTRY HAVE RUN AT LEAST THREE TIMES UNDER ANY N.H. RULES AND THAT AT DECLARATION HAVE NOT BEEN PLACED FIRST, SECOND OR THIRD UNDER ANY N.H. RULES OR RULES OF RACINGWeights - 11st 12lbs Mares allowed 7lbs
