100/1
Nothing to show in three maiden hurdle starts since debut in November including pulled up latest. Tough ask and others preferred.
Well beaten and never a factor in three maiden hurdle starts since February. Will need to improve to play a role here.

Beaten a total of 60L in two maiden hurdle starts last month. Requires a chunk of improvement to play a role here.

8/1
Modest form and not much to shout about in three point-to-point starts. Looks a tall order despite first-time tongue-tie.
6
Horse silk
50/1
Tailed off after weakening over 2f out on debut in a Galway bumper when last seen in October 2016 finishing last of 16 beaten 88L. Others preferred.

100/1
Well beaten - 185L - in two bumpers on heavy ground in December and February. First-time tongue-tie unlikely to bring about any improvement.
Well beaten when never a factor in two maiden hurdles last month, beaten 55L at Thurles latest. Significant improvement needed here.

Well behind in four starts under rules. Beaten a total of 77L on her last two starts and others preferred in this company.

First-time tongue is unlikely to bring about any improvement here for a mare who was beaten a total of 117L on her last start.

3/10
Deserves a change of luck following a last hurdle fall when well in command on her last start earlier this month here on soft ground over C&D.
Has failed to bring her point-to-point form to the track in three lacklustre maiden hurdle starts including beaten 12L latest. Will be better than some of these but still a tough ask.

Modest 72-rated Flat handicapper who was same pace on debut in a maiden hurdle here last month finishing fourth of 11. Improvement on the cards in this company.

Forecasts

Tell Me Annie (3/10), Maple Flyer (8/1), Torquay (10/1), The Last Armada (10/1), Sweetlight D'oroux (12/1), Maifitz's Madonna (28/1), Taggle Og (33/1), Annie Clouds (33/1), Oaks Empress (50/1), Ilsnepasserontpas (66/1), Granny Maura (100/1), She'sasupermack (100/1), Our Bonus (100/1)

Verdict

Oaks Empress, Sweetlight D'Oroux and possibly Torquay are likely to the leading trio in the early stages of the opener with the improving and impressive TELL ME ANNIE stalking the leaders. The daughter of Shantou looked in command before tipping up at the last earlier this month in a Cork maiden hurdle and can put the record straight here. The Last Armada and Torquay can hit the frame.
  1. Tell Me Annie
  2. Torquay
  3. The Last Armada
