Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: Ruby Walsh| T: W P Mullins| OR:  140
4/6
An absolute model of consistency, with seven wins from her last eight races. Will take all the beating again here.

Black Franks Angel23
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: D J Mullins| T: H De Bromhead
20/1
Former point winner was second sole start over fences at Wexford in October, been running over timber since but might hit the frame again here.

Blazing West11
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-0| J: P E Corbett| T: W J Austin
33/1
Moderate promise in four starts over fences, step up in trip here should suit but looks an unlikely winner.

Colla Pier21
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: D P Dunne
11/1
Travelled ominously well at Doncaster latest, finding 140-rated rival too good in the home straight. Entitled her to plenty of respect here.
5
Horse silk
Daisy's Giftp121
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-0| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins
8/1
Impressive Wexford winner in October before falling next time at Cork, ran over hurdles at Leopardstown since and needs more to take this prize.

Keppols Queent121
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-0| J: M J Bolger| T: Mrs J Harrington
7/1
No match for Daisy's Gift at Wexford in October and similar effort here when runner-up the following month. Pulled up at Limerick over Christmas.

Misty Lady12
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-0| J: Sean Flanagan| T: J Cullen| OR:  118
12/1
Decent effort first time over fences at Cork in mares' beginners event, less promising since at the same venue in with the boys.

Horse silk
Monbeg Roseh11
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott
20/1
Hasn't shown much over fences since leaving the champion trainer and behind Blazing West at Naas last weekend.

Not For Burning32
Age: 10|  Weight: 11-0| J: R M Power| T: Mrs D Foster| OR:  122
11/1
Won at Fairyhouse in early December when making all, unable to follow up since off new mark and could be similar tale here.

Forecasts

Westerner Lady (4/6), Keppols Queen (7/1), Daisy's Gift (8/1), Not For Burning (11/1), Colla Pier (11/1), Misty Lady (12/1), Black Franks Angel (20/1), Monbeg Rose (20/1), Blazing West (33/1)

Verdict

Colla Pier travelled with real purpose at Doncaster last month before having to give second best and should put up another good show here but she is running into a model of consistency in WESTERNER LADY. She's answered just about every question asked of her recently and should have the scope to bag another prize here. Black Franks Angel made a promising start in this sphere at Wexford and, having been campaigned over hurdles recently, can hit the frame here. Not For Burning may struggle off her current mark but she'll likely be up on the front end and could hold off Misty Lady for place money. 1. Westerner Lady 2. Colla Pier 3. Black Franks Angel
