Just two runs last season, she's been off since August and needs to improve for this step up in trip to get off the mark here. May well have more to offer.

Very encouraging run last time at Navan in a 1m5f handicap, sets the standard on that effort and should be holding leading claims back in maiden company.

Sent off 66/1 and beaten 20L in 1m1f maiden at Tipperary on second start last month. Has work to do over this longer trip.

A maiden after 13 starts on the Flat, she returns after a successful campaign over hurdles that produced two wins. Bit below best in February when last out, but has to be considered for this contest.

French import has run well in some decent contest in five starts. First outing now for leading yard in this country and would be of interest if strong in the market.

Beaten off readily in a couple of bumpers last spring, comes here off a 377-day break and doesn't immediately inspire confidence.

11/4
Finished just ahead of Chocolat Noir at Navan last time, though meets that rival on 6lb worse terms for a neck margin. Could improve and is a contender for this.

Forecasts

Chocolat Noir (1/1), Zamira (11/4), Dalmatia (7/2), Mais Si (10/1), Cavelli (20/1), Rain In Spain (50/1), Creadan (50/1)

Verdict

CHOCOLAT NOIR shaped with promise last time at Navan and should have a race like this in her, with the booking of Smullen suggesting plenty confidence in her chances. Zamira was in front of the selection last time though may struggle to uphold that form on these terms. Dalmatia has won twice over hurdles and may be an improved performer back on the Flat now while the French filly Mais Si is very much one to note in the market on debut for these connections.

  2. Dalmatia
  3. Zamira
