Well beaten 53L and never a factor on maiden hurdle debut at Down Royal on St Stephens Day. Others hold stronger profiles.

Won a bumper here in January 2016 but has failed to progress producing a series of second-rate performances including three dour maiden hurdle efforts.

Improved a chunk on first two maiden hurdle efforts when beaten a neck in a 25-runner maiden at Navan last month over 2m4f. Capable of running a big race given last performance.

Well bred by Beneficial out of a Saddlers' Hall mare related to Cooldine, Monksland and recent Limerick winner De Benno. Market likely to reveal expectations.
Winner of a Punchestown bumper in December 2016 but the lightly raced mare has failed to score for powerful yard in three starts including last time out beaten 4L finishing third of 13 at Navan in November.

Won a Wexford bumper in October before a promising third of 25 beaten 7¼L on maiden hurdle debut at Navan last month. Could have a say with improvement expected.

50/1
Sole success in 42 starts came in an AW handicap at Dundalk. Pulled up on final three outings for previous yard and much of the same on stable debut last month.
Career best effort when finishing runner-up in an eight runner maiden hurdle at Gowran Park in November. Well beaten subsequently including 18L defeat on St Stephen's Dat at Down Royal and others make more appeal.

12/1
Possibly out of her comfort zone following three solid bumper performances when upped in class and well beaten in a Listed Navan contest in November. Worth a market check on hurdling debut.

50/1
Winner of three minor events on the Flat when trained by Hughie Morrison. Well beaten and never a factor on maiden hurdle debut when 17th of 24 at Leopardstown on St Stephen's Day.
11
Horse silk
66/1
Well beaten and never on terms in two maiden hurdle performances at Thurles and last time out at Punchestown in November. Very little to be positive about.
12
Horse silk
66/1
Plenty of hurdles and chase winners in her family, which gives hope for the future but well beaten on maiden hurdle debut here last month beaten 32L behind Discorama. Needs to improve here.
13
Horse silk
14/1
Solid and consistent in three bumpers until a lacklustre performance in a Listed Navan contest in November when beaten 25L. Worth a market check for powerful trainer/jockey combination.

Not much to shout about in three maiden hurdle performances including being pulled up on St Stephen's Day in a Limerick maiden hurdle. Tough ask and other preferred.

Forecasts

Martello Park (11/8), Redhotfillypeppers (7/4), Sassy Diva (8/1), Wings Like Arion (10/1), Biddy The Boss (12/1), Goaheadmakemyday (14/1), Moonlight Escape (14/1), Amybell (33/1), O'gradys Girl (33/1), Ejayteekay (50/1), Tortueuse (50/1), Tara Mia (50/1), End Play (66/1), Fiesta Forever (66/1)

Verdict

Goaheadmakemyday and Martello Park could be the ones to dispute the lead in the opening exchanges of this 2m2f contest. Like often here at Fairyhouse the pace could set the race up for the Willie Mullins-trained REDHOTFILLYPEPPERS who shaped like he will appreciate the step up in trip on her last start in November. Biddy The Boss for Gavin Cromwell and the dropping in class Moonlight Escape can go well for each-way punters.
  1. Redhotfillypeppers
