2025 Mares Chase

[Lobos]

But you fancy birdie or bust………

Yep, got me there. Will cash in

[riccirich]

henry de bromhead doesnt send novices to the race

4 runnings - 0 novices ran

1 open chaser ran - refused to race.

Maybe henry doesnt like the race?

It's a jp horse though, so wouldn't really matter whether henry likes the race or not.

True.....re backed

[Lobos]

Joking aside.....stick to the older birds. Much more experienced.

Been looking through the race conditions / penalties again for this.

Weights: 5-y-o11st;
6-y-o and up 11st 2lb
Penalties, after September 30th, 2023, a winner of a Grade 2 steeple chase...3lb
Of a Grade 1 steeple chase............................................. ................................. 5lb

Can someone please explain the sense in having no penalties in the Mares Novice Hurdle, and Mares Hurdle, but having penalties in the Mares Chase?

Gives Dinoblue a 3lb swing in the weights with Limerick Lace from 2023, and will encourage the rest of the contenders to avoid winning graded contests for the next few months.

Dinoblue look to have regressed to anyone else?

[Lobos]

Dinoblue look to have regressed to anyone else?

Yes. Definitely not the same horse this season so far.

[darlojim]

Dinoblue look to have regressed to anyone else?

Yepp would agree, she faded out of that tamely imo

[HoldenTheReins]

Hard to tell today with Willie's running stinkers but very well could be

[DenmanSacre]

Bioluminescence made for fences. Great debut

Bioluminescence made for fences. Great debut

She is, but wouldnt be backing her for this race unless it was a swamp

[Johnoman66]

Thought Shecouldbeanything was going every bit as well as the winner but just ran out of puff the last half mile. Could be a player back to 2 1/2 miles

JP has a chance to win the race again

This race has all the makings of something coming from left field to make an impact. When looking at the market

Limerick Lace 9/2 - v poor showing in BF chase, another national bid? Entered NYD Fairyhouse
Dinoblue 5/1 - Very underwhelming show from her yesterday when I expected her to be much better, faded tamely
Impervious 7s best - Not far away from a reappearance according to Colm, but no date was given (Q on ability retained)
Bio 12/1 - DOC mentioned wishing NHC was still there for her, further the better/softer the better
Only By Night 12/1 - Gavin repeatedly mentioned staying in IRE twice after winning LTO
Kargese 14/1 - Staying hurdling
Cherie D'am 16/1 - long way short on rating?
Brides Hill 16/1 - Off with an injury, returns tomorrow @ Donny, best suited to nice ground
Marsh Wren 20/1 - Not good enough last season, nice seasonal reappearance but against poor sorts
Hispanic Moon 25/1 - Hurdle declaration tomorrow
Lantry Lady 25/1 - not seen yet, no entries
Spindleberry 25s best - Liked her seasonal debut, jumped well, stayed well
Fun Fun Fun 33s best - no entries and no runs yet
Pink in the Park 33s best - rating leaves a lot to be desired
Majestic Force 33s best - Liked her debut, was obvious she was ready to go forcing the pace, caught close home after a mistake at the last
Allegorie 33s best - hugely disappointing mare
Birdie or Bust 40s best - faded tamely yesterday, ran keen.

After going through the market, I think the 2 I'm going to be concentrating on are Spindleberry 25/1 and Majestic Force 33/1, whilst keeping a close eye on how Limerick Lace gets on NYD, and also keeping an eye on for when Impervious is entered up.

The only other one I would be interested in is if Only By Night does come over, so will be listening out for any further comments from Gavin, but he did seem very adamant he was very happy to stay in IRE and IIRC mentioned connections happy to do so also.
