Fair form in bumpers but the Robin Des Champs gelding has struggled in two career maiden hurdles with 35 and 19¾L defeats on record. Big improvement needed here.
Has failed to convert her point-to-point form to maiden hurdles though a promising second of 15 last time out in a Limerick maiden hurdle puts her in the mix here for inform trainer/jockey combo.

Decent bumper form including a win last time out at Punchestown but has struggled in a couple of maiden hurdles recently and will need to improve significantly to play a role here.
Point-to-point and bumper winner failed to fire in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle earlier in the month when third of 14 beaten 5¼L behind Martello Park on heavy ground. Sure to come on for that run.

Failed to build on an encouraging debut at Punchestown when finishing 14th of 18 beaten 82L behind Real Street at Thurles in November on soft ground. More of the same looks on the cards here.

Has made steady progress since a finishing third of 10 on maiden hurdle debut at Navan last March as seen when second of eight beaten 1¾L on a trip to Ayr earlier in the month on heavy ground. Place claims on current form.
By Kalanisi out of an Anshan mare related to top hurdler Katchit, Barizan and recent Doncaster winner And The New. Worth a market check.
By Well Chosen out of a Kris mare last of 13 on rules debut in a Limerick bumper on St Stephens Day behind subsequent winner Minnie's Secret. May struggle on these terms.
Not seen since December 2014 when finishing last of 12 beaten 62L on return in a Thurles maiden hurdle in November on stable debut.

Modest in a couple of point-to-point contests and well beaten in two maiden hurdle contests last month and at Tramore on New Years Day. Looks a tall order on form shown.
11
Horse silk
Well beaten and no impression in two maiden hurdle career starts including finishing 23rd of 25 beaten 142L at Navan last month. Difficult to see what improvement first-time tongue-tie will bring.

Two heavy defeats already on the Flemensfirth mares record and requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

Promising second of 16 though beaten 16L and no impression on winner in a Limerick maiden hurdle at the tracks Christmas festival. Possibility of running a decent race again.

Well beaten 60L on rules debut in a Naas bumper when fifth of nine when last seen in March. Representative top trainer/jockey combo and worth a market check.

Age: 5|  Weight: 10-10| J: Sean Flanagan| T: C Bowe
Modest in to point-to-point contests last year and well beaten on rules debut in a Cork bumper in May. Others hold stronger profiles.

Western Victory22
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-10| J: Mark Walsh| T: C Bowe
Promising fourth of 13 in a Limerick bumper on St Stephens Day finishing 22L behind subsequent winner Minnie's Secret. Market should be informative.
First Reserve: Well beaten and no impression on her two career hurdle efforts including a 55L defeat last month in a Limerick maiden. Others preferred.

Verdict

The early pace could come from the likes of Coldamour, Victoria Bay and Western Victory in this competitive contest. The Gordon Elliott-trained LACKANEEN LEADER was a promising second of 15 last time out in a Limerick maiden hurdle and can land the spoils here with Paul Nolan's Denham Hana and the Elliott second-string, Heritage Quay out-running her odds to hit the frame.
  1. Lackaneen Leader
  2. Heritage Quay
  3. Denham Hana
