Connollys Red Mills Irish Ebf Auction Mdn Hurdle

Prize Money: $36,900

BELLE THE TIGRESS (8) represents a top yard. Showed plenty of potential last month when 1.75L third in a 3200m mares maiden hurdle at Naas. Looks promising. KISH BANK (4) runs for notable connections. Recorded a fifth on first hurdle attempt last October at Galway. Improvement expected. JOURNEY SO FAR (3) is worth a market check for a good stable. Interesting on rules debut. GREAT BIRD (9) rates next best.
