10/1
Has run respectably on all three starts in handicaps, simply looking too high in the weights, and handicapper is releasing his grip very slowly, and dropped just 1lb for each of last two unplaced efforts.

Looked limited prior to bolting up on handicap debut at Downpatrick after a break in July, but hiked up the weights as a result, and she's not troubled the judge in three subsequent starts.

Best effort in qualifying when third of 11 to Castafiore Park in mares maiden at Limerick in March, and matched that when fourth of 16 to Chapter Two on handicap debut at Cork last time, despite looking an awkward ride. May do better.

Bettered hurdles debut form at second time of asking when third of 13 to Light of My Life in a 2m mares maiden at Roscommon last time. Work to do from opening mark, but promises to improve for this longer trip.

Showed improved form when runner-up in a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle last month, and backed that up when 5¼L fourth of 17 to Padraic O Conaire at Gowran last time. Respected in current form, and top rider booked to replace 7lb claimer.

14/1
Some promise in maiden hurdles, and improved on handicap bow when third in a C&D event last month. Couldn't repeat that at Navan last time, but made late headway from a poor spot, and isn't one to write off, and tried in cheekpieces/tongue tie now.

10/1
In frame several times in handicaps off a higher mark, and while disappointing at Downpatrick last time when tried in cheekpieces, she holds every chance of balance, and headgear is abandoned here.

Not built on a better showing at Dow Royal in August in two starts since, but made a bad mistake at a crucial stage on latest start at Fairyhouse, otherwise she would have finished much closer. Not a forlorn hope if jumping passes muster.

Well beaten on all starts to date, and beat only two home on handicap debut at Gowran earlier this month. Dropped a derisory 1lb for that poor effort.

Maiden over hurdles, but a smart chaser nowadays, winning Graded events at Limerick and Fairyhouse in the spring. Will be disappointing if she can't dispatch modest opposition on return to timber here.

Standout effort over hurdles when seventh to Dia del Sol in a 2m maiden here last month, but she failed by a long way to match that form at Navan last time. May do better now handicapping, and market will be informative.

50/1
Well beaten in a trio of hurdles outings to date, and while she's been handed a lowly handicap mark, it would be a surprise if she could make a big impact on evidence to date.

Showed some fair form in point-to-points but tailed off or failed to finish in four maiden hurdle starts. Fared only a little better on handicap debut in April, and others more convincing on return.

Forecasts

Youcantcallherthat (4/6), Holy Motivation (4/1), Rain In Spain (13/2), Euro So Brave (8/1), Lady Maram (10/1), Filly Mullins (10/1), Glamorous Gold (14/1), The Last Armada (16/1), Iknowwhereiamnow (16/1), Tara Mia (16/1), Ahgetawayoutadat (20/1), Beeper's Ruby (25/1), Ilsnepasserontpas (25/1), Alizee Javilex (25/1), Touchy (25/1), Little Gold (50/1), My Baby Kelsey (50/1)

Verdict

YOUCANTCALLHERTHAT developed into a pretty smart chaser in the spring, and it would disappointing if she wasn't able to take advantage of a lowly handicap mark on her return to hurdles. Filly Mullins had been running well until an experiment with headgear went awry last time, and she can bounce back. Rain In Spain has no easy task conceding almost a stone to the favourite, but she's going the right way, and can hit the frame.
