Cromwell is hoping Jeremys Flame will be too hot to handle for her rivals
Irish Stallion Farms EBF Boreen Belle Mares Novice Hurdle (Listed) | 4yo+ | 2m | RTV
Jeremys Flame, who has been placed at Grade 3 and Listed level since winning a maiden at the Listowel festival in September, represents Gavin Cromwell in the main event at Thurles, the final meeting in Ireland before Christmas.
And Cromwell, who has enjoyed a memorable 2019, is looking forward to a big run from Jonathan Moore's mount.
He said: "She's been running very well and was a good second at Newbury last time in what looked quite a good race. She's in good order and should have a decent chance."
Heaven Help Us gave top greyhound trainer Paul Hennessy a day to remember when landing a maiden hurdle at Cheltenham in October and the Gowran-based trainer said: "She's in great form and has run well on her two starts since Cheltenham. She's been consistentHe said: "She's been running very well and was a good second at Newbury last time in what looked quite a good race. She's in good order and should have a decent chance."
"We're knocking great fun out of her and that's what it's all about for us. It's something new for us to be competing at this level and hopefully she'll again give a good account."
Flicker Flame, runner-up over the course and distance on her last two starts, represents Joseph O'Brien, who said: "She's gone well at the track in the past and is in good form. We're hoping she'll earn some black type."
Henry de Bromhead and Rachael Blackmore, successful in this with the classy Honeysuckle 12 months ago, are represented by Sailingtobyzantium, winner of a maiden at Clonmel this month.
"She won nicely at Clonmel and is in good form. We're hoping she can pick up some black type," De Bromhead said of the daughter of Gold Well.
Willie Mullins is represented by Drury, who drops in trip after a wide-margin win over 2m5½f at Punchestown on her most recent start, and course-and-distance winner Rebel Og, who beat Flicker Flame when winning her maiden.
Botani, a bumper winner at Kilbeggan in April when trained by Mullins, will be having her second start since joining Colm Murphy, while bumper winners Fort Worth Texas, trained by Colin Bowe, and the John Ryan-trained Mystery Stowaway, complete the nine-runner line-up.
