Game sort who will run well for a long while but has failed to build on two chase wins last year with three heavy defeats chalked up. Plenty to prove now up in trip.

3/1
Useful novice hurdler last season and made a winning debut over fences at Limerick on heavy ground over an extended 2m3f before finding the step up in class too much here last month. Will be of interest in this company.

15/8
Successful three times in a 16 race career to date and put in a sound effort in finishing second to a useful rival in a mares Grade 2 here last month before disappointing at Leopardstown earlier this month. Claims in these conditions.

Will be looking to put a series of runner-up positions behind her following three seconds since December. Another bold show expected in first-time blinkers.

Second to Kate Appleby Shoes in a Limerick beginners chase in December before winning at Fairyhouse earlier this month and continuation of development likely here.

11/4
Distance winner who was a beaten favourite last time out in a Fairyhouse beginners chase earlier this month beaten ½L. One for the shortlist.

100/1
Without a win now in nine chase starts producing a number of dismal efforts including a 14L defeat last time out over 2m7½f here earlier in the month. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Magic Of Light (15/8), Jennys Melody (11/4), Kate Appleby Shoes (3/1), West Bridge (9/1), Youcantcallherthat (12/1), Routes Choice (12/1), Star Counsel (100/1)

Verdict

While Youcantcallherthat could take the field along here it could be an advantage to the likes of Jennys Melody, good second last time out and Magic Of Light who will be finishing well late on while KATE APPLEBLY SHOES in first-time blinkers can steal the show late.
  1. Kate Appleby Shoes
