Yes Pat^t⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: Mr P A King⁽⁵⁾| T: James King| C

8/1

Off the mark at the fifth attempt in a bumper at this course last time out. Only carries 1lb extra than the geldings as a result of a mares' allowance, and is a player if transferring that form now back over hurdles.

Form: S50-31

Artic Fever¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D H Kelly

66/1

Only moderate effort on debut under rules at Kilbeggan last time. Up in trip now but needs to take his form to a new level in order to be considered.

Form: 4-P6

Mac Cennetig³⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Slevin⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien

14/1

Mixed form in bumpers and make his debut over obstacles here. Would have a chance on the best of three runs but seems an inconsistent proposition at this stage who still has plenty to prove.

Form: 030-

Run James Run

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: C D Maxwell| T: Don Cashman

66/1

Misternando gelding who has a relatively unexciting pedigree. Connections wouldn't be renowned for first time out winners in maiden hurdles and so he is passed over on debut.

Form:

Storm Racer^t1³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B T O'Connell| T: H De Bromhead

8/1

Has only run one poor race out of his three efforts to date, but has still come up short in each of his races so far. First time tongue strap likely to bring about some further improvement and this may be an easier assignment.

Form: 2-835

Unchago^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: S P Kelly⁽⁷⁾| T: M M McNiff

20/1

Back up in trip here having run poorly over shorter last time out. Hasn't been particularly fancies for either of his starts to date, and at this stage is probably a place proposition at the most.

Form: 48

Youcannotbeserious¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Mark Walsh| T: E Bolger| BF

4/9

Has shaped with promise in a series of maiden hurdles up to now, and has taken his form to a new level with his three most recent starts. Unraced on ground better than yielding, however, and has something to prove on the surface.

Form: 4/5233-

Clonearl²¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: I J McCarthy| T: M Fahey

66/1

Has finished a long way out of the picture in each of her three starts to date. Steps up in trip here which shouldn't be a negative but is equally unlikely to bring about the necessary levels of improvement.

Form: 0009-

Megans Bella^h1¹³⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Brian Hayes| T: A McCann

80/1

Makes her debut under rules here in a hood having been pulled up twice in point to points. Others make plenty more appeal.

Form: PP-

Ten Theatre^t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 103

9/2

One of the more exposed runners in this field, but has shown signs of ability in similar races to this in the past. Goes for some top connections and isn't ruled out here.

Form: 5-43403

Texas Theatre^t¹⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: Miss Ellmarie Holden

16/1

May not have handled soft conditions at Wexford last time, so a return to a sounder surface here is likely a positive, but she still needs to show plenty more in order to figure.

Form: 69-

Youcannotbeserious (4/9), Ten Theatre (9/2), Storm Racer (8/1), Yes Pat (8/1), Mac Cennetig (14/1), Texas Theatre (16/1), Unchago (20/1), Artic Fever (66/1), Clonearl (66/1), Run James Run (66/1), Megans Bella (80/1)

Though she doesn't recieve as much of a weight allowance as her fellow mares due to a victory in a bumper last time out, YES PAT is the one who appeal most here. She won nicely at Kilbeggan last time and her sole run over obstacles to date wasn't a bad effort either. Now returning to hurdling off the back of that victory she can see off the opposition here including Youcannotbeserious, whose form reads well but could do with the ground being softer, and Ten Theatre, who may be able to put his previous experience to good use.
