Horse A-Z
Debut for Yeats mare who was a £20,000 purchase last May. Dam was a decent performer over hurdles and fences so should win races in due course.
Won Irish point-to-point in December in which only two finished. First start for new connections and may need a run or two to acclimatise to this sphere.

Led for much of the way and eventually finished a fair third on debut at Exeter in January. Yard does very well at this track and any market support would enhance her chance.
Shirocco mare out of good jumping dam. Failed by only head to make a winning debut at Ascot last month and looks to have been found a winnable opportunity to get off the mark on that evidence.
Homebred Fair Mix mare, fourth in a point-to-point flat race and now makes Rules debut. Looks up against it and likely to need more time.
32,000 euros daughter of Flemensfirth from a decent female jumps line. Wouldn't need to be a world beater to figure on debut representing top connections.

Malinas filly out of dam who won race on the Flat, over hurdles and fences. Any market move for her would be significant. Wears a hood for this racecourse debut.

£10,000 filly by Sholokhov, half-sister to three individual jumps winners. Bred to win races and may be ready to go first time. Worth a market check for any ineterst.

10/1
10,000 euros daughter of Oscar, half-sister to two individual winners. Yard in fine form of late (3-8 over the last fortnight) and a bold display wouldn't be anything of a surprise.

Forecasts

Rosy World (1/1), Definitelyanoscar (9/4), Cedar Valley (5/1), Cushuish (8/1), Kilcullen Bellamy (10/1), Wilde Spirit (10/1), Mechelen (12/1), Mrs Miggins (12/1), Sienna Royale (25/1), Theatre Mix (50/1)

Verdict

Quite a few unknown quantities here but the form shown by ROSY WORLD on debut when narrowly beaten at Ascot very much sets the standard. Cedar Valley, Wilde Spriit , Mechelen, and Definitelyanoscar could all prove capable of getting involved, so this really is a race in which positive and neagtive market moves are well worth taking into consideration.
  1. Rosy World
  2. Wilde Spirit
  3. Cedar Valley
