16/1
Well beaten in Grade Three company behind Supreme Novices' winner Labaik at Navan last time, but the form of his Wexford second prior to that reads well enough in context and probably has place claims again.

5/2
Only three runs to date and showed improvement fro first of those to second, although probably ran to a similar level back at Naas last time in a better race. Still plenty of scope for improvement.

6/4
Won a Fairyhouse handicap hurdle in November off 95 and showed improved form to score two starts later from 7lb higher. Still on the upgrade despite finishing runner-up the last twice, acts with plenty of juice in the ground and this looks his optimum trip. Leading player.

8/1
Had a good summer with both a bumper win and then a debut hurdles success at Cork (good). Put an ordinary effort behind her with a decent run back at Cork last time (3m, yielding) and looks short-list material.

5/1
Won a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle on his first start for this trainer. Below par next time, but better effort when stepped up to a similar trip at Down Royal in January. Acts with cut and yard in tremendous form so entitled to claims.

14/1
Won a novices' handicap at Clonmel in September quite convincingly from a mark of 94 (2m4f, good) and not beaten far in a handicap from 10lb higher when last seen in October. Gets further than this and acts on the forecast ground and not out of this.

Hurdling career not yet got going after being well beaten on debut and then falling at the first at Clonmel. Best watched at present.

Flusparb45

16/1
Has been chasing of late, winning a Tramore handicap from a mark of 80 in December. Neither that nor the best of his recent hurdles form give him much chance of winning this.

Forecasts

Logical Song (6/4), Fit To Be Tied (5/2), Usurp (5/1), Polar Present (8/1), Trade Marked (14/1), Jaime Sommers (16/1), Fluspar (16/1), Caoimhe Diva (100/1)

Verdict

A competitive contest where the suggestion is the freshened up TRADE MARKED, who was very much going the right way when last seen in the autumn. Usurp cannot be ruled out after his yard's sparkling week, while Fit To Be Tied and Logical Song are both serious threats.
  1. Trade Marked
  2. Logical Song
  3. Usurp
