Race Tip

Day three of the Festival begins with an open looking mares novices hurdle. BAMBINO FEVER (3) completed a G1 jumpers flat race double here and the Punchestown Festivals last year. Off the mark on the second hurdle attempt two months ago scoring by 12L a 2m2f maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse. Top pick. OLDSCHOOL OUTLAW (15) bids for a four-timer after an impressive 9L victory in the 2m2 1/2f G3 Solerina Mares Novice Hurdle at Fairyhouse. Likely player. CHARME DE FAUST (20) represents leading connections. Showed promise in France before a successful Irish debut in a 2m Thurles maiden hurdle six weeks back. Makes appeal. KINGSTON QUEEN (12) posted a fourth win under rules in the G2 Jane Seymour Mares' Novices' Hurdle over 2m3f at Warwick last month. Might feature. MILLE ET UNE VIES (22) looks interesting.
