7/1
Been running nicely over fences of late and just 2lb higher in the ratings for this then when narrowly denied at this track over 2m on previous hurdles run in December.

1/2
Easy winner at Killarney in May 2015 over 2m1f on only previous run. Clearly has to prove fitness but no surprise should her master-trainer have her primed to go again.

10/1
Pleasing reappearance in C&D handicap recently, entitled to take a step forward on the back of that run and be competitive against her own sex.

Strike Is Back9
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott
12/1
Ready winner at Clonmel over 2m last week, opening her account. Upped in trip, there ought to be more forthcoming and should have a say in the finish.

11/2
Become expensive to follow in three British outings in this sphere. Left Philip Hobbs to join leading Irish yard since finishing just under 8L third in Wetherby novice event over 2m last month.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-1| J: D J McInerney(7)| T: D Duggan
100/1
King's Theatre mare has a tongue strap on for this racecourse bow and appears to have plenty on her plate first time of asking.
7
Horse silk
Larkfield Lass18
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-1| J: A McCurtin(5)| T: R P Rath
100/1
Uncompetitive over this trip on debut at Naas last month, may improve slightly on that but unlikely to make the breakthrough.

Forecasts

Karalee (1/2), Tearsofclewbay (11/2), Goulane Davina (7/1), Polar Present (10/1), Strike Is Back (12/1), Larkfield Lass (100/1), Kings Mistress (100/1)

Verdict

Karalee is sure to be strong in the market for her lofty connections and while it will be no shock should the champion trainer have her ready to go on just her second outing off a 690 day absence, she does face some decent rivals and looks opposable. Polar Pleasant ran well over C&D in a handicap recently can get competitive but the nod goes to GOULANE DAVINA who was only just collared at this track over Christmas when last hurdling and, having performed well over fences since, can gain a measure of revenge now.
  1. Goulane Davina
  2. Karalee
  3. Polar Present
