Cork 2.42

 

A couple here in good form step in to Hurdles off seemingly good marks.

 

I want to take on the the top few in the market though.

 

Whatsyourstatus has form figures of 312 but gets a 19lbs lower hurdle mark, just a niggle about the trip here though for me and I'm not confident enough for a win saver. Walk Me Home is also in form but up 12lbs, pulled up last time with breathing issues reported after the race after a win off 91, I'd want to be sure of its well-being at the Odds and that handicap hike, it's a danger IF back 100% healthy.

 

Rachel Blackmore rides Ballyadam Destiny, who will have support, but I'm not convinced a strongly run 3 miles will suit based on known form. Abyssinian did well up in trip last time, but I'm still to be totally convinced it has the stamina required and Silver Planeur might just need this after 88 days off but was upwardly mobile before that break and a danger too if ready.

 

That leaves me with the talented but very inconsistent Twilight Girl who can always pop up at a price and HIGHEST BENEFIT.

 

Highest Benefit runs off a nice hurdle mark and switches Codes seemingly without problems. Won a 3 mile Handicap Hurdle at Fairyhouse off a mark of 80 so the mark of 89 here with a 5lbs Claimer who is very capable, looks to be no problem, and of all of them, one I'd have most confidence in on the terms of today's race.
