Going - Good to Yielding. Fine
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Alan Magee - CHIRICAHUA stayed well on the Flat for Ger Lyons winning three times and is now stepped up to three miles for the first time over hurdles. The Camelot gelding has filled the runner-up spot twice in 2m4f maiden hurdles including behind Ballykeel at Leopardstown. Eyre Square showed stamina is her strong suit when landing a 2m4f bumper at Wexford last year and the Doyen mare has also finished second a couple of times over hurdles. She may have been unsuited by the very testing ground here last time. Friends N Commerce finished well when denied by a neck at Limerick before showing he gets this trip when third to Tenzing over course and distance last month. Coconut Tudor and Belles Benefit are others to note.
