Horse A-Z
Career best effort when beaten ½L into second in a mares maiden at Ballysteen last month. Interesting runner wearing cheekpieces for this.
Yet to win in 16 outings so far including four under rules. Beaten 28L in a maiden point-to-point last time out and best watched today.
Finished second in her two completions in point-to-points. Latest of those came in an eight runner race at Largy last month and worth a check in the market here.

33/1
Off the mark at the third attempt in point-to-point company at Dungarvan (yielding-to-soft) in January. Saddle slipped at Knockanard on her only subsequent start the following month and an interesting runner here.
Winner of a maiden point-to-point at Quakerstown (good-to-yielding) last month. Finished fifth in a C&D bumper in May last year and an interesting contender on her debut for a new stable with a good jockey booked to ride today.

Successful in a mares maiden at Boulta on good-to-yielding in January. Best effort in two starts since came when third in a point-to-point last month and well beaten in previous bumper starts.
Winner four times already in point-to-points including the last twice. Most recent success came in a four runner open contest at Broughshane (good) last month when having a 120 rated rival back in second. Likely to play a leading role dropping in trip today.
Victorious twice in ten starts in point-to-points and ran well in cheekpieces when beaten a neck over 2m in a similar race to this at Cork (good) last month. Likely to be involved in the finish today.
Placed once in four point-to-point outings and ran well when beaten 1L in a mares point-to-point bumper at Cork (good) last month. Closely matched with Kings Dolly on that form and likely to run well once more.
Beaten ½L into second when contesting a point-to-point at Fairyhouse (good) last month. Small yard had a rules winner at Roscommon last week and worth a check in the market here.

Off the mark in easy fashion when winning at the third time of asking in a mares maiden at Dromahane (good) last month. Better ground seemed to suit on that occasion and wears a tongue tie with a leading jockey booked to ride for this.

Horse silk
14/1
Ready winner of a mares maiden at Inch (good) last month. Had previously finished well beaten in a Maralin maiden in May 2016 and an interesting runner in this.
Beaten 4L into third when making her debut at Ballynoe (good-to-yielding) last month. Drop in trip looks likely to suit here and worth a check in the market here.
Beaten 8L into second in a maiden at Dromahane (good) last month and stepped up on that when beaten 4L into fourth in a point-to-point bumper at Cork over 2m subsequently. Interesting to see if she can repeat that here.
Registered her first victory at the eighth time of asking in a point-to-point at Curraheen (good) at the end of last month. Had earlier finished fifth in a point-to-point bumper at Cork.
Failed to complete on debut at Tallow in early February and put in an improved effort when beaten 2L into second over 3m at Curraghmore (good) last month. Has a good jockey in the saddle today.
Successful at the fourth time of asking at Liscarroll (yielding-to-soft) in March. Finished runner-up in a four runner contest at Dromahane (good) subsequently and drops in trip today.
Still prominent when falling four out in a maiden point-to-point at Courtown (yielding-to-soft) last time out. Had earlier finished a 7L runner-up on her debut on soft ground in March and represents a leading stable here.

Verdict

HOLYCROSS LITO has impressed in her point-to-point outings so far including when winning at Broughshane on good ground last time out. The selection has her regular jockey in the saddle once more here and can get the better of two mares who ran well in a similar race to this at Cork last time out in the shape of Kings Dolly (second on that occasion) and Nana Joan (third).
  1. Holycross Lito
  2. Kings Dolly
  3. Nana Joan
