3.50 IRISH STALLION FARMS EUROPEAN BREEDERS FUND MARES CHAMPION HURDLE (Grade 1) 2M4F

Airlie Beach: Looked a high-class mare prior to this season, when well beaten on both starts. Unbeaten in seven runs up to December, she only beat two horses home in the Mares’ Novices Hurdle at Cheltenham in March. Better was expected at Fairyhouse last time but again she finished towards the rear. It would be a mistake to write her off but she has plenty to prove now.
