Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade

Emmas Dilemma²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: A W Short⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

Disappointing since finishing third in a 2m maiden hurdle on yielding ground here in April. Well beaten at Fairyhouse last time out and interesting to see if a return to this venue brings about a revival.

Forecasts

Kamil (4/5), Kilbrew Gold (5/2), Emmas Dilemma (10/1), Terrible Beauty (12/1), Aroundthebridge (14/1), So Influential (25/1), Mohart (33/1), Touchy (40/1), Kool Lady (50/1), Michael's Bird (66/1)

KAMIL shaped with promise when finishing fifth at a big price on rules debut last time out and he is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking under rules in this 2m5f maiden hurdle. Kilbrew Gold is another to have run well on rules debut and he is taken to finish second on this occasion while Aroundthebridge, already placed in a bumper here can finish third.
