Decision Time¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D N Russell| T: J E Kiely

13/8

Winner on heavy ground on the Flat in October taking a 1m4f maiden at Fairyhouse. Well beaten in two hurdle starts since February but capable of improvement here.

Form: 5-3212P

A Girl Like Me

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: Robbie Colgan| T: A Lee

14/1

Daughter of Kalanisi out of a Kayf Tar mare related to Champion hurdler Katchit and current performers Brain Power and Kalashnikov. Market possibly best guide to chances.

33/1

Well beaten and never a factor in two maiden hurdle starts since falling on debut in December. Very little to be positive about.

Beliou Le Fume^p1²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Phillip Enright| T: V Halley

20/1

Has struggled in three maiden hurdle starts since the turn of the year and first time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about a change in fortune.

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: Dillon Maxwell⁽⁷⁾| T: R P Burns

20/1

Not a lot to shout about in three career starts including a heavy defeat at Gowran Park in January. Will need to improve to figure.

20/1

Down the field at long odds on both bumper starts and ended up 98L adrift of Dawn Shadow on maiden hurdle debut when last seen in November. Another struggle looks to be on the cards.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Sean Flanagan| T: D H Kelly| OR: 94

2/1

Third at 50/1 in beginners chase at Clonmel in December but remains a maiden after 22 outings. First-time cheekpieces applied on return to hurdling.

The Bread Winner

Age: 7| Weight: 10-13| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁷⁾| T: Ms M Mullins

4/1

Daughter of Stowaway out of a Perugio mare related to dour types Hidden Cyclone and Outlander. Looks a future prospect but won't have to be anything special to take a hand in this company on debut.

Forecasts

Decision Time (13/8), Kiera Royale (2/1), The Bread Winner (4/1), A Girl Like Me (14/1), Beliou Le Fume (20/1), Juniors Angel (20/1), Bringherwithya (20/1), Ask Madge (33/1)

Outsider of the field Beliou Le Fume will possibly be the early leader here with likely favourite Kiera Royale travelling in behind under Sean Flanagan. The pace up front should be an advantage for Grand National winning jockey Davy Russell as he allows DECISION TIME to make his move before landing the spoils here in the opener.
