2m1½f (2m1f150y) Irish Stallion Farms EBF Paddy Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle (Grade B) (4yo+)
She’s been well found in the market but the Mullins first string has to be backed at 7/1 here. HISTORIQUE RECONCE may be dropping 4f but she traveled like a train through her maiden and hit the line full of beans. An opening mark of 118 could really underestimate her. I’m having two in the race and reckon Henry de Bromhead’s RIOGA CHOICE is one to be on, 3lb higher at 121 and 16/1 in the betting. She has a patchy record but bolted up in a Roscommon maiden before experiencing all sorts of traffic problems behind Magical Zoe in a good race at Down Royal. That form has turned out to be really hot with the second winning and placing in graded company, and subsequent winners Liberty Dance and Saylavee were behind the selection. She gets 8lb from an improved Liberty Dance here and looks a good play at the prices.
1pt win Historique Reconce @7/1, 1pt win Rioga Choice @16/1, 13:10 Leopardstown
