Beaten big distances last three and no realistic chance of success here.

1/1
Not beaten far in handicap hurdles on three of her last four starts, form which would entitle her to plenty of respect in this moderate race, but may not want too much rain to fall before racetime.

Not disgraced in a maiden hurdle at Tramore in April but efforts since less encouraging, and may need the rain to stay away as well. Others readily preferred.

20/1
Did better last time out when staying on into midfield at Tramore, and quick reappearance here. Needs more here but probably going the right way, and step up in trip may help.
6
Horse silk
50/1
Made a bit of late headway but never in the hunt at Limerick latest. Probably better to come but handicaps a more likely medium to work in.

Stamina should be her long suit and and rain probably in her favour. Much better effort at Punchestown on latest start, staying on well late in the day to grab fourth, and this looks easier. On the shortlist.

8/1
Not beaten far over this C&D two starts ago but didn't build on that at Punchestown last time, and needs to bounce back now. Chances if she does.
9
Horse silk
14/1
Stuck to the task well enough to finish fourth at Ballinrobe latest, and step up in trip could be beneficial, but needs this for a handicap mark which is where her chance may lie.
10
Horse silk
20/1
Some promise over this C&D in a maiden hurdle in early May, but beaten miles at Limerick last time out and although step up in trip will help (is a point-to-point winner) looks to have too much on here.

Has done little in seven starts to date to suggest she'll be anything other than making up the numbers here.
12
Horse silk
33/1
Finished midfield at Clonmel on latest start, weakening out of things late and hardly looking like she was wanting a step up in trip. Plenty to prove here.
Two reasonable efforts without ever threatening to win over hurdles so far, and needs this for a handicap mark. Best watched today.
Has shown a bit of ability in finishing midfield in two maiden hurdles but may be better off in a handicap, which is where she may well be heading after this.

Some promise shown at Tramore two starts ago and ran to a similar level when going into a handicap for the first time latest. Needs improvement but that's not impossible, and holds a chance.

Forecasts

Delayed Eloquence (1/1), Midnight Surprise (7/2), Polly Manning (8/1), Slaney Craiglegacy (10/1), Rain In Spain (14/1), Something Sweet (16/1), Regal D'Argent (20/1), Evie Rose (20/1), Jazz Mine (20/1), Galloping Anger (33/1), Bradystown (33/1), Slievenamon (33/1), June Carter (50/1), Shantelle (66/1), Superefficient (66/1)

Verdict

In the hope there's not too much rain, the vote goes to DELAYED ELOQUENCE who has the form in the book, and that might be good enough in a moderate event. Midnight Surprise could benefit from any rain and looks to be going the right way. Slaney Craiglegacy has shown promise and can challenge for the places, along with Rain In Spain and Polly Manning .
