Youcantcallherthat²⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR: 136| CD

12/1

Gutsy and genuine mare who comes here on a hat-trick of wins. More improvement needed but not easily discounted.

Form: 183411

Dinaria Des Obeaux^p1,t²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 140| BF| C| D

7/4

Second of five behind Youcantcallherthat when sent off the odds-on beaten favourite. Looks to be improving with every run and another bold bid looks on the cards.

Form: 146132

Asthuria^h⁶⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 135| CD

6/5

Showed plenty of promise in the spring including a win in a Listed mares hurdle at Killarney, looks to have a future over fences having easily landed beginners' race at Naas in January and run well behind very smart stablemate Benie Des Dieux since.

Form: 51-1212

Magic Of Light⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 128| BF| C

5/1

Just the one win from seven attempts over fences, coming in 2m5f beginners race here in November. Continues to run well in defeat and no reason not to anticipate another good showing.

Form: 1F2202

West Bridge^t¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-11| J: Phillip Enright| T: R Tyner| OR: 128| CD

20/1

Course winner that has won over the distance. Beaten by Youcantcallherthat on the last two meetings between the pair and unlikely to be a turnaround here.

Forecasts

Asthuria (6/5), Dinaria Des Obeaux (7/4), Magic Of Light (5/1), Youcantcallherthat (12/1), West Bridge (20/1), Elusive Ivy (20/1)

The gallant Youcantcallherthat and the Willie Mullins-trained Asthuria could be vying for the lead in the early stages with Magic Of Light from the Jessica Harrington yard chasing behind. With three out and out front runners in the contest the race could well end up falling in to the lap of the talented and consistent DINARIA DES OBEAUX who could play a waiting game in behind the early leaders before making a decisive move to land the spoils for the Grand National winning trio of Gigginstown/Elliott and Russell.
