Modest Flat maiden who showed her first signs of ability when sent hurdling. Faced one of the season's best juveniles on the most recent occasion, but these are the most testing conditions she will have encountered.
Has some fair form including a third to last week's Fred Winter winner Veneer Of Charm. Proving costly to follow and a lack of gears is her main problem. Cheekpieces tried and Davy Russell due on board for the first time.
Poor Flat handicapper who has been tailed off on each outing over hurdles. Has done little to enthuse about and others readily preferred.
Modest and regressive Flat maiden who has acquitted herself well since going hurdling. Has come up against a couple of the season's best juveniles on both starts this winter and this is undoubtedly much easier.
Fourth foal and half-sister to three winners on the continent. Represents powerful connections and would not have to be anything special to land this.
Not seen since attempting to make all at Punchestown in October. Tired early in the home straight and her stamina will be tested even more in these conditions.
Half-sister to a winning point-to-pointer and represents a small yard still seeking their first jumps winner since the 2012-2013 season.
Finished third here on hurdling debut when facing similar conditions. More highly tried since, but this looks more her level.
Forecasts
Azua Emery (13/8), Edna (3/1), Cristal Icon (4/1), Little Princess (7/1), Ar Eagla Na Heagla (8/1), Tildas Icon (10/1), Bright Lass (66/1), Onemoreask (66/1)
Not an easy race to call with Edna making her racecourse bow and boasting a pedigree that suggests she will win races. The betting ought to be the best guide to her chances, whilst Azua Emery has so far failed to live up to market expectations. Thomas Mullins has his horses going well and he is strongly represented with Cristal Icon and TILDAS ICON. Both have shown some ability but the latter's C&D form on her hurdling debut looks good enough if reproduced here.
- Tildas Icon
- Azua Emery
- Edna
