Decent effort in finishing third in a hunter chase at Tramore (2m5f, heavy) last time out. Likely to find life tougher on hurdling debut.
23 race maiden under all codes and well beaten over an extended 1m2f at Dundalk the last twice. Probably best watched on hurdles debut.
Placed in Listed company over hurdles in France and highly tried in Graded company in two starts since joining this yard. Beaten 22L in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft-to-heavy) last time and likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.
Struggled in a couple of bumpers in 2016 and it was a similar story on hurdling debut at Tramore (2m5f, heavy) on debut for this yard last month.
Improved on debut when finishing 21L third at Tramore (2m, heavy) in a bumper last time out. Making her hurdling debut in this contest.
Fair efforts in two starts over hurdles in the autumn but well beaten at Cork in March and returns to hurdling having finished runner-up on the Flat at Dundalk a month ago.
Finished well beaten in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle when making her debut last month. Probably best watched on this occasion.
Unraced daughter of Mountain High purchased for €3,000 as a foal at the sales. Worth a check in the market on racecourse debut.

Forecasts
Salsaretta (1/12), Sweetlight D'oroux (5/1), Ar Eagla Na Heagla (9/1), Thatswhatshesaid (10/1), I'm Not Alone (20/1), Be My Dream (22/1), Kilkeaskin Molly (25/1), Lady Argentum (25/1), Sean Thyne (25/1)
SALSARETTA can boast some decent form from her days in France and she can get off the mark at the third attempt for Willie Mullins in this opening maiden hurdle. The selection has been contesting Graded races since joining the yard and she can get the better of Sweetlight D'oroux who put in her best effort so far when second last time. Hurdling debutant Thatswhatshesaid ran well in a bumper last time and can claim third.
