Patient O'Brien hoping Hibiscus can bloom at last

Irish Blue Cross Fillies Maiden| 1m2f | ATR

A late addition to the Curragh's list of fixtures, this meeting replaces a recently abandoned meeting at Sligo with the eight-race card consisting of three maidens and five low grade handicaps.

Hibiscus and Eavesdrop represent Aidan O'Brien in the 1m2f fillies maiden. Hibiscus, the mount of Seamie Heffernan, has finished in the first three on all four of her starts, most recently at Listowel ten days ago when she lost out by a neck to Nannys Well over a mile, while Donnacha O'Brien partners Eavesdrop who achieved her best placing on her most recent appearance when second over 1m4f at Roscommon.
