Blue Dollars^t1⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Slevin| T: P M Cloke

200/1

Hood is dispatched with following two innocuous career starts recently beaten a total of 135L. First-time tongue-tie unlikely to improve the mares performance here.

Form: 90

Dorus Day⁸⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: P W Flynn

66/1

Poor performer for previous handler well held on three dismal maiden hurdle displays. Unlikely to fare much better for new connections.

Form: F60-

Gameasapebble⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: A E Lynch| T: F Costello

66/1

National hunt form extends to six feeble bumper runs up to July 12-months ago. Hard to fancy on hurdle debut.

Form: 00/7865-

Harrys Gift³⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: P E Corbett⁽³⁾| T: D H Kelly| BF

10/1

Generally well beaten in four career maiden hurdle starts to date including finishing seventh of 13 at Wexford last month when sent off as favourite.

Form: 04-07

Indian Music³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: J J Burke| T: W J Burke

16/1

Pulled-up on sole point-to-point start in February before a slightly promising fourth of 16 in a Clonmel maiden hurdle last month. Manner of defeat is a worry and more improvement needed.

Form: P-4

Irish Lass²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF| D

4/9

Sets the standard here following a facile bumper win in August last year and when second of 12 beaten 1¾L in a Downpatrick maiden last month behind Maple Lawn.

Form: 1-2

Our Nest Egg^h,t⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: W F Treacy

25/1

Big prices and well beaten in all three bumpers before finishing 12L adrift of the winner on hurdling debut here over 2m earlier this month. Liable to find a couple stronger here.

Form: 0-0P8

Peggyclare^h,t⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: Miss D O'Shea

66/1

Fell on point-to-point debut last month at the 6th fence before finishing down the field on rules debut here in a 2m maiden hurdle earlier this month behind Storm Rising. Looks up against it here.

Form: F0

Siamsa Cois Laoi^t⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: A McCurtin⁽⁵⁾| T: D Duggan

33/1

Pretty solid form in a number of point-to-point starts since March before not being disgraced in a Wexford maiden hurdle earlier this month on rules debut finishing seventh of 14 beaten 18L. More needed in this contest.

Form: P32-317

Ssmarchioness⁴⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 11-7| J: Mr A J Fitzgerald⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Fitzgerald

150/1

Nothing of note in a number of point-to-point starts this year following a three-year break. Hard to construct much of a case for the mare here.

Form: P0/FP8-0

Dont Tell Mammy²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: A Ring⁽³⁾| T: P J Rothwell

150/1

Has produced a number of laboured runs since May including a couple of heavy maiden hurdle defeats. Has plenty of work to improve based on current form.

Form: P70

Gambling Mistress³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: B J Geraghty| T: Mrs J Harrington

4/1

No threat to the winner when fourth of 25 in a Punchestown maiden hurdle last month but the filly appeared to be getting the hang of things late on in proceedings. Worth a market check.

Form: 84

Knockeenbawn Lady

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: C A Landers⁽⁷⁾| T: J Barcoe

50/1

Filly by Papal Bull out of a Sleeping Car mare. Closely related to the Gordon Elliott-trained Walkabout winner of three hurdle starts. Market likely to reveal expectations.

Form:

Lettherebenopanic

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Phillip Enright| T: L M A Beresford

50/1

Finsceal Fior filly out of a Mujadil mare. Related to multiple winner Football Crazy. Market likely to be best guide on debut.

Form:

Sizing Malbay³²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Mr J C Canavan⁽⁷⁾| T: S J Mahon

33/1

Struggled in three bumper starts to date beaten over 23L on each occasion. Well down the field on maiden hurdle debut at Roscommon last month. May struggle here.

Form: 5-850

Vinabell^t1⁶⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Robbie Colgan| T: S Nolan

150/1

Down the field in a Down Royal bumper in May finishing 17L behind Jerandme on good ground. Tough ask on hurdling debut.

Form: 0

Zinat^t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-1| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: J F O'Shea| OR: 90

25/1

Modest 70-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer-Mick Halford and has only disappointed in three hurdle starts to date. Very little to be positive about.

Form: 096

Irish Lass (4/9), Gambling Mistress (4/1), Harrys Gift (10/1), Indian Music (16/1), Our Nest Egg (25/1), Zinat (25/1), Sizing Malbay (33/1), Siamsa Cois Laoi (33/1), Lettherebenopanic (50/1), Knockeenbawn Lady (50/1), Gameasapebble (66/1), Dorus Day (66/1), Peggyclare (66/1), Vinabell (150/1), Dont Tell Mammy (150/1), Ssmarchioness (150/1), Blue Dollars (200/1)

The Willie Mullins-trained IRISH LASS sets the standard here and can land the opener following an easy bumper win in August last year and build on a second of 12 on seasonal debut at Downpatrick last month. In a below-par renewal the potential improvers Gambling Mistress and Indian Music can hit the frame.
