FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - MASKADA should in time, be a nice addition to owner Kieran Mariga’s broodmare band, but she can surely add to her four victories on the racetrack before that. On just her second start for Mariga, and trainer Henry de Bromhead, Maskada was shaping up very nicely before coming to grief at the second last fence in a mares race at Fairyhouse on Hatton’s Grace Day. Off a 1Ib higher mark compensation could be on the way, for one of the only two mares in this competitive big field affair. Maskada’s stable companion Spyglass Hill triumphed 12 months ago here, and runner-up then, Rebel Gold, is back in the mix as well with an each-way squeak. Course winning handicap debutant Shadow Rider can’t be ignored given his connections, whilst Brandy Harbour is on a roll and has just a feather-weight on his back.
