1/3
Showed plenty of promise in the spring including a win in a Listed mares hurdle at Killarney in May before beaten favourite on seasonal and chasing debut at Thurles in November. No mistakes expected today.
2
Horse silk
33/1
Below-par 87-rated hurdler who won a point-to-point in October. May find this a tough introduction and not expected to play a hand in the finish despite first-time cheekpieces.
3
Horse silk
20/1
Tailed off in 2m beginners' chase on heavy ground at Punchestown before falling at the third in a Leopardstown beginners chase last month. Looks opposable here.

4/1
Nine-race maiden over the larger obstacles and prone to the odd mistake. Unseated rider when still in touch blundering five out. Worth a market check with yard not out of the woods yet.

10/1
Distance winner but without a win in three efforts in his chasing career. Others look to be progressing quicker and needs to up her game here.
6
Horse silk
40/1
Winning point-to-pointer who failed to hit the frame in seven starts over hurdles and well beaten 85L - despite finishing third - on chasing debut at Limerick last month.

Forecasts

Asthuria (1/3), Girly Girl (4/1), Golden Flowerpower (10/1), Don't Let Go (20/1), Daisy Chicks (33/1), Larkfield Lass (40/1)

Verdict

It can be accepted that ASTHURIA will have had his jumping sorted before coming in to this race following a couple of errors on chasing debut at Thurles in November. Don't Let Go or Golden Flowerpower could pip Girly Girly for the place available.
  1. Asthuria
  2. Don't Let Go
  3. Golden Flowerpower
