Daughter of Flemensfirth out of a Montjeu mare related to Tidal Bay and Imperial Commander. Well held when highly tried in a couple of strong bumpers in April and interesting to see progress on hurdling graduation.
Has shown plenty of promise in a number of bumper starts since the turn of the year including a 9½L win at Kilbeggan in June. Produced a favourable run on hurdling initiation when third of 13 beaten a little over 1L at Down Royal in August.
Nothing of note in a number of dismal displays in a number of bumper and hurdle starts since May. First time blinkers unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.
Daughter of Fruits Of Love out of a Distinctly North mare. Finished down the field in a 2m3f maiden hurdle at Clonmel last month and improvement needed if taking closer order here.
Abysmal form in the point-to-point field has been rubber-stamped by a couple of dire starts under rules. Out of her depth here.
Modest in point-to-point starts since March but caught the eye when second of nine in novice hurdle at Downpatrick on rules bow in July. Nothing since including a fall at Kilbeggan on latest start last month.
Lightly raced mare who was unmoored by over 90L on recent return to action in a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle last month. First-time tongue-tie unlikely to improve chances here.
Ran well but was beaten 10L when second of nine behind Don't Hesitate in a 2m½f maiden hurdle at Ballinrobe last month. Progress to continue here.
Well beaten in a couple of bumpers before finisihng 19L behind the winner and Light Of My Life at Ballinrobe last month. Could improve.
Down the field beaten 49L in a Navan maiden hurdle on return to action last month. Looks up against it here.
Modest 56-rated handicapper on the Flat and never a factor on hurdling opener, beaten 27L when last seen in August.
Filly by Arcadio out of a Kings Theatre mare. Half-sister to The Game Changer and Flying Angel. Likely to be a long term prospect.
Daughter of Arcadio out of a Presenting mare related to the likes of Denman and War Of Attrition. No impression on leaders in a couple of career hurdle appearance to date. Hard to fancy.
Forecasts
Moskovite (6/4), Under Surveillance (7/4), Light Of My Life (6/1), Inishbel (8/1), Lucky Phil (20/1), Iknowwhereiamnow (33/1), Bonarc (33/1), Champagne Nova (50/1), Allora Yeats (50/1), Mizz Monroe (50/1), Inner Knowing (50/1), Happy In Love (100/1), Indian Air (100/1)
In a weak looking maiden hurdle it could be left to the improving J P McManus-owned Light Of My Life and hurdling debutante Moskovite to challenge UNDER SURVEILLANCE who produced a favourable run on hurdling debut when third of 13 beaten a little over 1L at Down Royal in August. If hurdling more fluently, Inishbel could go well at a price.
