PwC Mares Maiden Hurdle

Limerick · 14:00 · Sunday, 18 October 2026 · 2m125y · Good To Yielding

🤖 AI race preview

The race is likely to be contested at a moderate tempo with early leaders expected from the front-runners, though the going is yielding and could see a shift in pace mid-race. Brickfield Belle stands out on form, having secured a win in Galway under yielding conditions at 165lbs, showing consistency in touch and forward movement, and her recent performance suggests she can challenge in the middle to front, with a strong RPR of 126 and a solid run in a yielding environment. A notable danger is Cerulean Summer, who improved from a 3rd in a standard class at Lingfield to a 7th in a good going race at Killarney, with a sharp RPR of 75 and headgear change indicating a potential shift in style, while French Adventure, despite a poor recent run, remains a value at the forecast price due to a low RPR of 86 and a first-time appearance in a hurdle. Whelkeen View and Naught But Nice, both first-time hurdlers, are worth a second look due to their lack of prior hurdle experience and potential for a surprise run.
