Scorpion mare, trainer hasn't had much luck with bumper runners of late and makes limited appeal in this.
Struggled in couple of bumper runs at Galway and Cork, needs decent chunk of improvement to get competitive now.
Morozov mare, likely to have limited enough expectations on first trip to the racecourse.
Has hurdles experience from native France and ran solid enough race in similar contest to this last month at Fairyhouse, the pick on form.
Daylami mare with a fairly modest pedigree, would be a surprise if she proves up to this on debut.
Boasts a fair bit of experience, though not all of it good. Two previous bumpers runs have been underwhelming, though going better over hurdles latest.
Sixth on bumper debut at Leopardstown in December behind very talented Carter McKay, entitled to respect on that run though probably requires a step forward again.
Getting the hang of things in three bumper runs, close up third at Punchestown last month and should go very close now.
Well held on debut at Fairyhouse last month, behind Creation, could do better this time around.
Got within three-lengths of third-placed Creation on Fairyhouse debut last month, should have more to offer and be involved at the finish.
Califet filly cost €24,000, makes racecourse debut this afternoon and market can be most useful guide to her chances.
Scorpion filly makes racecourse debut, trainer isn't blessed with many bumper winners and would require market support to instil confidence.
Forecasts
Martello Park (15/8), Marta Mes (7/2), Creation (4/1), La Bella Vida (6/1), Ballybrowney Walk (11/1), Vanellope (16/1), Jennys Grey (25/1), Glebe Girl (33/1), Meadow Blaze (33/1), Euro Bond (33/1), Emilyogue (33/1), Piranto (40/1)
Martello Park has had three goes at this already and, while she did get closer last time out, doesn't appear to be one her trainer's leading lights. She's likely to go close enough once more but might be worth taking on with CREATION who ran a solid race first time in this country at Fairyhouse last month and is entitled to do better again. Her form gives Vanellope a squeak of a place while Marta Mes is not likely to meet anything as good as Carter McKay now.
