11/4
Finished fourth on debut back in December 2014 before returning from an absence to finish second to Shimmer's Rock at Gowran in February. Has won her only start since and could get involved again.
Has been progressive so far in her career, with three starts producing much improved performances so far, including an easy win at Downpatrick last time out. This is harder but she's entitled to be on the shortlist.
One of the biggest talking horses of the season in this division who won her first bumper well enough before disappointing at Sandown last time. This looks like a good opportunity to get back on track.

3/1
Placed in two point to points before winning narrowly on debut under rules in a bumper at at Gowran last time (1m7f, heavy). Player here if building on that.
Cost €75,000 as a three year old by King's Theatre, and related to some useful sorts, including bumper winners. The most appealing of the newcomers.
By King's Theatre, out of an unraced mare and a half-sister to a winning point to point winner. Pedigree suggests she will want further in time.
Hasn't managed to get involved in either a bumper or a maiden hurdle so far, and switched back to bumpers, presumably to gain more experience.
Oscar filly who makes her debut with an unexciting pedigree and is well entitled to need this first racecourse experience.

Forecasts

Redhotfillypeppers (7/4), Crackerdancer (11/4), Shimmer's Rock (3/1), Dawn Shadow (7/1), Penny Jane (8/1), Alletrix (8/1), Turfmans Daughter (16/1), Love N' Peace (33/1), Shortgrasslass (50/1), Oscars Sera (66/1)

Verdict

This has the potential to be a good quality mares' bumper, in which REDHOTFILLYPEPPERS looks the one to beat. Willie Mullins' charge was disappointing at Sandown last time but given the way she's been talked up she must possess plenty of talent and is worth another chance here. She faces a fair field, though, including the progressive looking Dawn Shadow, and interesting newcomer Penny Jane.
