Misty Millie^t⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-11| J: D J Hand⁽⁷⁾| T: G Donnelly| OR: 94

16/1

Failed to build on a promising 2L defeat at Down Royal in December with two below-par displays at the turn of the year. Looks a tall order on recent runs.

Form: 550446

I'm Serious²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: D Hogan| OR: 90

3/1

Has shown plenty of promise in two starts last month finishing second - not beaten far - on both occasion. Shortlisted with notable jockey booking.

Form: 990022

Urbanist^p⁷⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-6| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: S Nolan| OR: 89| BF| D

3/1

Distance winner who was beaten favourite last time out when looking to struggle in a Down Royal handicap hurdle following a win and runner up spot at the turn of the year. May find this contest a strain as well.

Form: 606124

Cracking Up¹²³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-5| J: J S McGarvey| T: F J Flood| OR: 88

16/1

Will have disappointed influential connections with a number of dismal displays in the run up to Christmas. Will possibly need the run on return to the track.

Form: 000

Rock On Barney^p³⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: E T Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: G T Lynch| OR: 88| BF

6/1

Generally disappointed since winning a Clonmel handicap hurdle off a 8lb lower mark in January suffering three heavy defeats. Beaten favourite last time out so worth another market check.

Form: PP1U32

Trans Wood⁵⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Ricky Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: G M Doyle| OR: 88

8/1

Not a lot to shout about in two starts since the turn of the year including a shuddering 36L defeat last time out in a Clonmel handicap hurdle in February last time out.

Form: 026055

Yeats Baby¹⁵⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: I J McCarthy| T: F J Flood| OR: 88

20/1

Well beaten and never a factor when falling two out in a Ayr handicap hurdle for Martin Todhunter when last seen in November. Others preferred on stable debut.

Form: 000-25F

Hide The Biscuit¹¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: M Torrens| OR: 86

11/1

Various running tactics will not have helped this mare in her last three starts when well beaten on each occasion. Will possibly find one or two better than her here.

Form: 506-408

Drumnagreagh²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Slevin| T: S R B Crawford| OR: 84

16/1

Modest hurdler who has been beaten a total of 128L on her last two starts. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Form: 607006

Baily Sunset²⁸⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: J J Hanlon| OR: 83| D

10/1

Last won back in August 2016 and has since produced a number of dire efforts for trainer-Mouse Morris. Difficult to see what a change of stables will bring.

Form: 0P0-PF0

Shantelle^b²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁷⁾| T: R Donohoe| OR: 80

16/1

Disputing a moderate fourth when brought down two out last month in a Cork handicap hurdle following three inept performances since January.

Form: 69793B

Forecasts

Urbanist (3/1), I'm Serious (3/1), Rock On Barney (6/1), Trans Wood (8/1), Baily Sunset (10/1), Hide The Biscuit (11/1), Misty Millie (16/1), Shantelle (16/1), Cracking Up (16/1), Drumnagreagh (16/1), Yeats Baby (20/1), Imperial Reprise (25/1)

Transwood and the interesting I'M SERIOUS could be vying for the lead in the early stages here with the selection putting in some impressive and improving displays since returning to the track last month and can land the spoils here under Davy Russell. Last time out beaten favourites Urbanist and Rock On Barney can hit the frame.
