Formscan By Michael Graham - BARRA RUA put together a solid sequence of results in bumpers which culminated in a victory at this track last month. She began her hurdling career with a third place in Cork, and the horse in fourth came out and landed a mares' maiden hurdle at Navan. Gordon Elliott's Working Away weakened out of contention on her 'track' debut in a mares' maiden hurdle in Cork at the start of the month, but gets a tongue-strap and returns to slower ground that she won her point-to-point on. Mahon Falls, who represents Willie Mullins and Paul Townend, may not want the ground too deep but has runner-up finishes in a bumper and in a fillies' maiden hurdle in the book.
A hurdle for four years old and upwards mares only, maidens at starting that have NOT RUN UNDER RULES OF RACING
Weights - 4-y-o 11st 6lbs 5-y-o and up 11st 7lbs.
