7/1
Plenty to like about her maiden hurdle efforts when placed at Killarney (twice) and Cork last summer. Well held when sent off a big price for her seasonal return in a Listed hurdle at Killarney (good) earlier this week and this looks more realistic.

Beaten 72L in a bumper at Navan (yielding-to-soft) in September and unseated rider at the first on hurdling debut at Killarney earlier this week.

Punchestown bumper winner on soft ground in January and has run well to finish fourth on all three hurdles starts since. Beaten 8L over an extended 2m4f at Ballinrobe (good) earlier this month and likely to run well again here.

Not beaten far in a couple of bumpers in May 2016 but well held when last of 16 at Fairyhouse (soft-to-heavy) subsequently and probably best watched on her hurdling debut.

15/8
Winner of a bumper at Clonmel (good) in June 2016. Placed several times over hurdles since including when beaten 4L into 3rd in a 21 runner event over 2m at Cork (good) a fortnight ago. Has run well here in the past.
Beaten 13L by useful Flat mare Toe The Line when seventh in a maiden hurdle at Leopardstown (good) on her second start. Held twice in bumpers since and worth a check in the market here.

Horse silk
14/1
Point-to-point winner when dead-heating at Dromahane (good) in November. Making her hurdling debut when 18L sixth over 2m4f at Wexford (good) last month under today's rider and worth a check in the market here.
12
Horse silk
16/1
Finished third on her debut in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Wexford (good) in October. Disappointing over 2m at Tramore subsequently including when falling on her second career start. Step up to 2m3f should suit.
13
Horse silk
50/1
Failed to complete in her first two point-to-point starts but finished second on her last three attempts. Beaten 10L at Liscarroll (yielding-to-soft) last time and makes her rules debut here.
Running well and still held second when stumbling and unseating her rider in a Wexford (soft) bumper on her second start. Beaten 8½L into sixth in a bumper at Cork (good) last time and makes her hurdles debut today.

Beaten 5L into third in a maiden hurdle at Fairyhouse (soft-to-heavy) early last month and ran well when sixth in a bumper there next time out. Well held at Cork subsequently and returns to hurdling today.

Unraced daughter of Kalanisi and the first foal of a mare who won over 3m over hurdles. Worth a check in the market ahead of her debut here.

Forecasts

Khalessi (15/8), Fintara (11/4), Wings Like Arion (6/1), D'pinesflyer (7/1), Mistheatre (10/1), Alaliya (14/1), Regal D'Argent (14/1), Supreme One (16/1), Absentee (33/1), Superefficient (33/1), Kalanisi Repre (50/1), Ballygill Countess (50/1), Ask The Diviner (50/1), The Last Armada (50/1), June Carter (66/1), Darcellyeann (66/1)

Verdict

D'PINESFLYER was making her seasonal debut when finishing well beaten in a Listed event earlier this week and she can register a first victory at the 11th attempt in this mares maiden hurdle. The selection has placed three times over hurdles so far and can get the better of Khalessi who ran well here when finishing third in a handicap hurdle last October whilst two of Jessica Harrington's runners Fintara, who finished fourth at Ballinrobe last time out and Wings Like Arion who debuts over hurdles in this are others to note.
  1. D'pinesflyer
  2. Khalessi
  3. Fintara
