Timeform Superboost

The all-conquering Willie Mullins sends over a plethora of raiders to Ayr today as he bids to retain his Trainers Championship crown, including a much fancied runner in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at 14:15.

Ethical Diamond is the runner in question and he's finished first and fourth in his last two starts, and today you can back him at the super-boosted price of 1/12.00 (from 1/21.50) to finish in the top four again.

14:05 - Kilfera

I'm riding Kilfera for Mags Mullins in the second maiden hurdle at Bellewstown on Saturday.  

I haven't ridden her before, and she will need to improve on what she has done so far if she is going to be involved, but I'm hoping that the better ground will help her.  

She is a half-sister to five winners, and she has raced just three times over hurdles, so hopefully there is more to come from her.

14:40 - Mater Matuta

I ride Mater Matuta for the Delanys in the mares' handicap hurdle.  She hasn't run since she ran on the flat at Bellewstown in October, but she goes well at Bellewstown and the Delanys love to have winners there. 

She won at Tramore in August on her last run over hurdles, but her hurdles mark is still a fair bit lower than her chase mark, so I'm hoping that she can go well.  She goes well on the ground too.

15:50 - Adaliz

Adaliz is making her handicap debut here. Her three runs in maiden hurdles have all been on soft or heavy ground, so we're hoping that the better ground here will bring about improvement.  

She's a nicely-bred mare, a half-sister to Adagio, who was a top-class juvenile hurdler, and we're hoping that the step up in trip to an extended two-and-a-half miles on her handicap debut will help her too.
