6/1
Produced a career best at Down Royal in September but failed to back it up at Galway and here in a bumper when last seen in October. Best watched on return to the track.
Westerner filly and point-to-point winner who has joined Willie Mullins for £100,000 since. Improved on a sombre display on debut when finishing second of 16 in a Gowran Park bumper in February. Better to come.
Daughter of Oscar out of a Broken Hearted mare. Yard without a winner in bumpers this season with all 20 starters beaten.

20/1
Fair form in two point-to-points but disappointed on rules debut in a Down Royal bumper beaten 24l on heavy ground. Not easy to dismiss.

3/1
Couple of satisfactory runs in two point-to-point starts winning, similar tale for daughter of Milan on rules bow at Naas in February before struggling to finish eighth of 11 beaten 25L here on Tuesday. Worth a market check.
Formerly with Stuart Crawford and has had plenty of opportunity's to get off the mark in the past. Well beaten in two bumpers so far and difficult to make a case for.
Daughter of Gold Well out of a Bob Back mare. From a small yard who are struggling this season without a win from 24 runners.
A winner of her only start in a point-to-point and has since joined this top trainer. Weakened over 2f out on debut at Down Royal last month but sure to come on for the experience.

Point-to-point winner who ran okay on Rules debut in a Wexford bumper but has been disappointing in four starts since including when last seen in February.

6/1
By Gold Well out of a Roselier mare related to Holywell, Johns Spirit and recent Newcastle winner Gold Opera. Well beaten on debut but will use the experience well here.
Daughter of Kalanisi out of a Carlingford Castle mare related to Katchit, Brain Power and Kalashnikov. Will need the run here on debut.

Forecasts

Western Victory (2/1), Madera Express (3/1), Ifyoucatchmenow (3/1), Tens Or Better (6/1), Betsy Boots (6/1), Inagh's Gift (8/1), Beeverstown Beauty (14/1), Shirleys Gold Well (16/1), Stucker Hill (20/1), Killisk Ben Rose (20/1), Questionation (20/1), Gerrys Gem (25/1), Shimmer And Shine (33/1)

Verdict

The improving IFYOUCATCHMENOW can get a decent pull in to the race from Betsy Boots in the early stages of the contest. The Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old can land the spoils here if repeating her run at Gowran Park in February when keeping on in the later stages. Western Victory - second of nine last time out - and the Gordon Elliott syndicated mare Shirleys Gold Well can battle for the minors.
  1. Ifyoucatchmenow
  2. Western Victory
