2025 Mares Chase

[HoldenTheReins]

Marsh Wren picked up a set back ruling out until at least after Christmas also, so can add that to the list

Ahh didnt know that, good to know

Not for Marsh Wren backers

Dinoblue look to have regressed to anyone else?

This race came just 19 days after a fairly hard run first up in the Hilly Way. Wouldn't be surprised if it just came too soon for her. Seemed to be travelling well prior to the last when fading when beat. Next race will be a bigger tell, I assume at the DRF.

Had a first time tongue tie also, so maybe she has a wind issue

Impervious last matched @ 16s on BFX .

The same questions asked about dinoblue can also be asked about limerick lace

She's been beaten 76 lengths and 25 lengths in 2 starts this season

Did running in 3 very tough races in the same season, the troytown/mares chase/grand national, bottom her?

[ComplyOrDie]

Allegorie is an engima!

Wins some races like she could beat anything and runs & jumps like a wardrobe in others!

Going right handed probably helps, but she's run well in this race previously.

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.

So an update on the market after the last week or so

Limerick Lace - Very poor showing once again, did last season leave a mark on her? or she's not off until the National.
Brides Hill - Well beaten, poor return on favoured ground.
Hispanic Moon - Retired
Lantry Lady - Dec'd Naas this weekend, Darragh on board
Fun Fun Fun - Dec'd Naas, paddy on board - not for me.
Majestic Force - Dec'd Naas, Rachael on.
Allegorie - Nice win this week, but far too inconsistent and beaten twice @ the festival already, expect something better than her come March.

I've played Majestic Force now for the Mares Chase @ 33/1. Very much worth watching her chasing debut where she jumped like a seasoned pro throughout 95% of the race. Nice forward going sort and the drop back a furlong no likely to hinder her at all. 33s a very fair price in what is looking like a muddled market full of horses with question marks on them. Naas should be right up MF's street aslong as Rachael gets the same tune out of her as to what Darragh did and I can see a case of her gaining lengths on this field at the majority of her fences.

I've joined you

It's not a race I'm heavily invested in yet, but can certainly see the angle with her.

[Birds Nest]

Has anyone heard anything of ashroe diamond? Has she gone to shed? I know they schooled her over fences before the start of last season but i've not seen her mentioned anywhere.

My memory is poor ,but I'm pretty sure she's in the sheds

Yeah a race that is lacking depth or a standout as we speak, I've played her and Spindleberry only as I liked both debuts from them.

Only by Night would be the big fly in the ointment though if they decide to change plans with her, she looked exceptional on her 2 starts.

In hindsight probably should have played the owner double of July Flower and Majestic Force before July ran last week

Yep. Being banged senseless.

Yeah believe that's correct.
