The Listed Irish Stallion Farms EBF Boreen Belle Mares Novice Hurdle is the feature event at Thurles on Sunday, where the six-runner contest sees the Willie Mullins-trained True Self bidding to complete a four-timer for the champion trainer.
True Self won bumpers at Galway and Down Royal, before scoring over this two miles in November. The Danny Mullins-partnered four-year-old filly faces another previous course and distance winner in Dawn Shadow who was a good winner at the County Tipperary venue in a winners' race on November 30.
Dawn Shadow beat the re-opposing Lesley Shadow in November and there is likely to be plenty interest in the valuable black-type placings, with a pair of Gigginstown House Stud-owned runners Creation and Dawn In The Park also in the line-up. The six-runner field is completed by outsider and 87-rated Killahara Castle
The racecourse owners sponsor the locally-renowned Molony Cup Handicap Chase over three miles.
The Philip Dempsey-trained Dinnie's Vinnie is a previous course and distance winner having won here last February and arrives with every chance having failed by a head to win from a 4lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last month.
The Henry de Bromhead-trained, Gigginstown-owned High School Days bids to complete a hat-trick of two-mile wins in the Richard Brennan Fencing Services Handicap Hurdle.
The four-year-old was successful at Gowran and Wexford in September and October respectively and while she has now been raised to a 122 rating, is again claimer-ridden, by Dylan Robinson, and might be able to maintain her progression.
