12/1

Kayf Tara mare has produced a number of laboured runs in two career starts. Has work to do on a 36L defeat last time out in December.

Form: 4-0

April Serenade¹¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 0-0| J: R Loughran| T: Peter Fahey

66/1

Has looked overwhelmed in two career performances including when beaten 58L in a Galway bumper. Looks up against it here on hurdling debut.

Age: 6| Weight: 0-0| J: R M Short⁽⁷⁾| T: S Fahey

100/1

Modest 47-rated Flat handicapper well beaten in her last three starts including on two visits to Dundalk. Down the field on hurdling debut at Clonmel on Thursday.

Age: 5| Weight: 0-0| J: Keith Donoghue| T: G P Cromwell| CD

10/1

Has disappointed connections in a couple of drab performances at Navan and on hurdling debut at Fairyhouse when beaten 71L. Will need to improve to figure.

Clear Symbol²⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 0-0| J: S J Gray⁽³⁾| T: A Slattery

33/1

Has produced a couple of rock solid performances in her last two point-to-point contests and will look to bring that form in to her debut under rules on first start for yard.

Form: P2-1

Drumnagreagh²³

Age: 5| Weight: 0-0| J: A E Lynch| T: S R B Crawford

50/1

Well beaten and no impression on return to the track last time out at Ayr in December. May find this a tough assignment on hurdling debut.

Form: P460

Ejayteekay¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 0-0| J: Robbie Colgan| T: G P Cromwell

33/1

Has shown relatively little in two career maiden hurdles at Leopardstown and last time out at Fairyhouse on New Year's Day. Very little to be positive about.

Mary Sun^h1⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 0-0| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

7/1

Pulled up on debut when weakening markedly on soft to heavy ground at Cork in November. Worth a market check on second start for powerful yard.

Form: /-P

Minnies Secret^p1¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 0-0| J: D J McInerney⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes| D

6/5

Has shown plenty of promise in her last two bumper starts winning as she liked last time out at Limerick in a 19L win. Never a factor on hurdling debut in October but not easily dismissed in first-time cheekpieces.

Age: 6| Weight: 0-0| J: Donagh Meyler| T: Miss E Doyle| D

6/1

Winner on bumper debut last December but has failed to build on that run including a disastrous maiden hurdle debut at Limerick last month. Looks vulnerable in this company despite first-time tongue-tie.

Form: 184-U4

Darsi filly out of a Kings Theatre mare half sister to Sir Mangan. Well beaten 66L on debut in a below-par performance at Limerick's Christmas festival.

By Getaway out of a Be My Native mare related to Hear No Evil, Verdana Blue and Moscow Flyer novice hurdle winner Getabird. Worth a market check on debut.

Tara Dylan^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 0-0| J: D J Mullins| T: T Mullins

9/2

Pretty useful winner on the Flat, reaching peak rating of 86. Promising maiden hurdle debut when second of 17 at Thurles in October but brought down when badly hampered at the second last time out. Market possibly best guide.

Form: /2B

Age: 6| Weight: 0-0| J: L P Dempsey| T: P Roche

50/1

By Beneficial out of a Danehill Dancer mare related to money-spinners Cooldine, Realt Dubh and More Of That. Could be capable of having her say on debut.

Forecasts

Minnies Secret (6/5), Tara Dylan (9/2), One First Cut (6/1), Mary Sun (7/1), Biddy The Boss (10/1), Alighting (12/1), Clear Symbol (33/1), Ejayteekay (33/1), Drumnagreagh (50/1), Rayna Jaymes (50/1), Thisonesformary (50/1), April Serenade (66/1), Bert Leaf (100/1), She's Apache (100/1)

MARY SUN will possible attempt to make all here to his maiden on his second hurdle start. Still has plenty to prove but it can be accepted that first-time out mistakes will have been ironed out for this appearance. Tara Dylan who made a promising debut in October and bumper winner Minnie's Secret can hit the frame.
