By Kalanisi out of an Anshan mare related to top hurdler Katchit and Barizan but has failed to show any sparkle in two hurdles spins over 2m3f and 2m so far. Plenty to find on those offerings.
Point-to-point winner who was not disgraced in two hurdle starts over 2m before catching the eye when stepping up in trip finishing second of eight 8L behind Redhotfillypeppers at Punchestown last month. Will look to continue improvement here.
Produced a number of rock-solid performances in the autumn but has disappointed in two dispiriting efforts before Christmas. Worth a market check as trainer has a decent win and place strike rate at this track in March.
Finished runner-up in all three completed starts in point-to-points but has been well beaten on both starts under rules in a maiden hurdle and last time out in a Punchestown bumper. Others preferred.
By Beneficial out of a Danehill Dancer mare related to money-spinners Cooldine, Realt Dubh and More Of That. Possibly needed the experience on debut in a mistake-filled debut at Fairyhouse in January. Will need to improve before consideration.
Beaten over 200+L in two maiden hurdle starts and 56L behind the winner in a Punchestown bumper. Looks a tall order here.
Pulled up on maiden hurdle debut before finishing last of 14 beaten 47L in a Dundalk maiden on the AW in January makes the mare hard to fancy.
Placed three times on the Flat for Ralph Beckett before failing to quicken three out in a Killarney maiden hurdle when last seen in May. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.
Daughter of Milan out of a Glacial Storm mare related to Jezki and Grand National hero One For Arthur. Market likely to reveal expectations.
Modest 63-rated handicapper on the Flat and without a win in 12 starts. Sire - Aqlaam who died in 2013 - has only a couple of representatives over the jumps including winners So Satisfied and Oxford Blu.
Pulled up on maiden hurdle debut in January before showing a hint of promise without troubling the leaders finishing fourth of 12 at Clonmel last month. Needs to iron out mistakes before consideration.
Forecasts
Castafiore Park (4/6), Glebe Girl (7/2), Turanga Lilly (6/1), Ardlea Rose (14/1), Maifitz's Madonna (14/1), Lily Trotter (33/1), The Last Armada (33/1), Torquay (50/1), Beliou Le Fume (66/1), Thisonesformary (100/1), Boney Moloney (100/1)
In a race where experience will be paramount CASTAFIORE PARK may well be allowed a soft lead here allowing the mare to possibly making all in the opening contest of the day. The experience and form of Turanga Lilly, Glebe Girl and The Last Armada will allow the trio to fight for the minors.
