Maiden after 12 starts including two over hurdles. Well held at Down Royal last time out and plenty on her plate here.
Signs of ability in two bumper outings in the summer of 2015. Latest of those came over 2m3f at Cork (yielding) and debuts over hurdles following nearly two years off the track today.
Successful in a Down Royal bumper on good ground last August. Fair effort when fifth at Cork (good) in May but well held sixth at Punchestown since and more needed to take this.
Lost saddle cloth when third passed the post at Cartmel (2m6f, good-to-soft) in May and well held twice since. Others preferred here.
Well beaten in three bumpers so far most recently on good ground at Ballinrobe in May. Making her hurdling debut toady.
Two completions from three starts so far most recently when 46L 11th at Roscommon earlier this month. Likely to struggle today.
Failed to complete over hurdles the last twice and sent off big prices on each occasion. Others look more likely winners of this.
Unraced daughter of Craigsteel led out unsold cheaply at the sales in the past. Half-sister to bumper winner Outrath and worth a check in the market for a leading stable on debut.
Well beaten in all three starts to date and finished 76L behind the winner when last in action at Punchestown (heavy) in February.
Well held in three maiden hurdles and a bumper so far. Started big prices on each occasion and others are preferred today.
Dual bumper winner and caught the eye when finishing runner-up on hurdling debut at Roscommon (good-to-yielding) earlier this month. Likely to play a leading role in this contest.
Well held eighth when making her racecourse debut over 2m4f at Tipperary (good) earlier this month. Kept on late on that occasion and likely to put in an improved effort in this contest.
Maiden after ten starts on the Flat and rated 52 in that sphere currently. Making her hurdling and stable debut today.
Still in contention when falling four out on her penultimate outing at Punchestown (good) in May but well beaten fourth subsequently and others have a more obvious chance here.
Made the frame on three of her four starts since joining this yard from France. Held by The Birdie Crowe on their running at Roscommon earlier this month and likely to run well again here.
Signs of ability on first two bumper starts but beaten 142L in a hood (left off here) at Uttoxeter (good-to-soft) last month. Wears a tongue tie for the first time here.

The Birdie Crowe (8/11), High School Days (2/1), Joy's Gift (12/1), Blue Eyed Lucy (16/1), Realta Dawn (16/1), Amarillo Rose (28/1), Peggy's Acre (33/1), Whatsinaname (33/1), Presenting Court (33/1), Misskymdee (50/1), Adelena (66/1), Milan Diva (66/1), Bon Courage (66/1), Sing Que Sera Sera (66/1), Destination Debbie (66/1), Musical Ava (100/1), Superefficient (100/1)
A repeat of her hurdling debut should be enough to see THE BIRDIE CROWE take this opening mares maiden hurdle. The selection had chief rival here High School Days behind her on that occasion and they can finish one and two in this contest. Of the remainder Realta Dawn represents a leading yard and can claim third on her debut.
