Ask Heather³³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: D J McInerney⁽⁵⁾| T: J Dullea| OR: 95

4/1

Better form in handicap contests puts the mare in the mix here. Could be capable of having her say here.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 92| D

2/1

Put a disappointing effort behind him when winning a Thurles rated chase earlier this month. In good form and interesting switch back to hurdling in first-time blinkers.

9/2

Beaten favourite last time out finishing fourth of 10 beaten 13L behind Ballymadun. Market should be informative for the 14-race maiden.

Won a point-to-point contest in February last year over this trip but it has to be said the mare has been disappointing in four starts under rules.

Ballea Fox^t1⁵³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: B J Foley⁽⁵⁾| T: S Spillane| OR: 83

16/1

Has disappointed connections in a series of desolate performances in four maiden and handicap hurdles. Very little to be positive about here in first-time tongue-tie.

Form: 7-00U

Carrow Queen^t¹¹⁰

50/1

C&D winner albeit back in December 2013and has been completely out of form for quite some time. May find this a tough assignment.

Form: 508000

Larkfield Lass²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: A E Lynch| T: R P Rath| OR: 80| D

20/1

Unable to halt an alarming slide in form since the turn of the year in three drab starts and well beaten in all. Needs to show significant improvement in this company.

Form: 503576

Oh'herewego^p⁷⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: V T O'Brien| OR: 80

25/1

Was left toiling in a number of starts at the end of the year before weakening after the eighth pulled up two out at Fairyhouse on New Years Day. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Goodthynemilan (2/1), Ask Heather (4/1), Queen Khaleesi (9/2), The Grey Guy (6/1), Heather Moth (8/1), Dawn Light Cave (12/1), Ballea Fox (16/1), Larkfield Lass (20/1), Oh'herewego (25/1), Carrow Queen (50/1)

Larkfield Lass could cut out the early running here which would be advantageous to GOODTHYNMILAN who is in good form at the moment winning three of her last four starts and can continue the winning thread here. Ask Heather, who's form is much better in handicaps and Queen Khaleesi beaten favourite last time out can hit the frame.
