Maiden showed plenty of promise in bumpers and has run some fine races over hurdles, the best of which when a close second over 2m7f at Cork; not as good over 2m4f last time but the step back up in trip can help on handicap debut; chance.
Comment
Not at best over 2m4f last time but the step back up in trip can help on handicap debut

Got off the mark in a Gowran handicap over 2m last October and some decent runs in defeat after; a lesser effort when last seen over 2m7f and this trip is a question on return.

Quotes
"Watching The Clock stayed at it well. Aidan [Kelly, jockey] said the race fell apart a bit. It's great to get a winner, she's a home-bred of Noreen's [McManus]. It's always nice when the fillies win. She just about handled the ground. We'll see what the handicapper does and look for something similar. This [William Hill] series is a great incentive, so fair play to them - Padraig Roche, trainer."

"She doesn't do a whole lot in front but she got the job done. At Fairyhouse Are You Busy ran a blinder and looked to get a bit tired but she's from a staying family. I couldn't go with them early but she travelled into it well. The nicer ground worked - Aidan Kelly, jockey, speaking to Racing TV."

Quotes
"Midleton Rare jumped and travelled lovely. I thought I got caught a bit far back on him, but we got going early which suited him and he galloped to the line well. He stays well. It's nice for him to put a bit of a disappointing run in Limerick behind him. He showed himself well today - Jack Kennedy, jockey."
