Off time: 16:00 | Winning time: 3m 52.80s

Caravation²³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr F Maguire⁽³⁾| T: J P Dempsey

4/1

Point-to-point winner, second behind useful Tintangle at Down Royal in mares' bumper in March. Has to be in the mix if improving on return.

Form: 12-

Clear Left^h1

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R O Harding⁽³⁾| T: S K Ryder

33/1

Stowaway mare, makes racecourse bow this afternoon and no shocks if she comes on for the experience.

Form:

Daylight Katie^h1³⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D H Dunsdon| T: G Elliott

7/2

Bonbon Rose mare, cost current connections £110,000 as a four-year-old and trainer has reported her to be showing good signs at home.

Form: F/1-

Iamastartoo^t⁹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M J O'Hare⁽³⁾| T: N Meade

6/1

Early promise is rather dissipating now having been unable to get competitive under patient tactics at Galway in August. More to find.

Form: 344-208

Lotus Hill

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Sean O'Keeffe⁽⁷⁾| T: P Nolan

14/1

Shantou filly is a sister to fairly useful hurdler Whitley Neil. Yard well capable of having one ready to go and worth a market check here.

Form:

Markmyword^h¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr M J O'Connor| T: S R B Crawford

66/1

Trainer adept at having one for a bumper, but beaten 25L at Wexford in debut and has to find plenty more to get competitive now.

Form: 5

Tens Or Better¹⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: E T Daly⁽⁷⁾| T: P A Fahy

16/1

Yet to really set the heather on fire in four starts, but there have been some fleeting glimpses of ability.

Form: 658-9

Three Thirds²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr D T McGrath⁽⁷⁾| T: D J McGrath

12/1

Runner-up behind Daylight Katie in a point-to-point last year, but hasn't built on promising rules bow at Clonmel in May. Poor at Punchestown latest and more to find.

Form: 7/2-305

Westport Lady²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P W Mullins| T: W P Mullins| BF

2/1

Turned over at cramped odds in bumpers at Ballinrobe and Fairyhouse already, represents top trainer/jockey and unlikely to be a fancy price now. Well capable on form.

Form: 22

Abidingbytherules^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr R J Kiely⁽³⁾| T: P Kiely

33/1

Sholokhov filly, half-sister to multiple winners. May need further in time, sports a hood on debut and others seem more likely.

Form:

Caddy Shack¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr J P Berry⁽⁷⁾| T: J A Berry

66/1

Unseated rider at Tramore in maiden hurdle in June and off the scene since, was a 66/1 chance in that contest and doesn't make major appeal reverting to bumper.

Form: 7-2PU

Duibheach Alainn

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle

12/1

Oscar mare, half-sister to temperamental hurdler/chaser All The Way Home. Yard can do well in this sphere, betting check required.

Form:

Final Witness¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: C J Orr⁽⁷⁾| T: J F Robinson

50/1

Sent off 50/1 in a Cork bumper on debut in May, was still in the thick of things with 3f to run when stumbling and unseating rider.

Form: U

Helly Hansum¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr J Hogan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

20/1

Sixth in a Galway bumper on debut last month, beaten just over 10L, Fame And Glory filly could be up to improving on that showing.

Form: 6

Mary's Girl¹¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hourigan

66/1

Well held in all three starts under rules so far, doesn't appeal at the moment.

Forecasts

Westport Lady (2/1), Daylight Katie (7/2), Caravation (4/1), Iamastartoo (6/1), Three Thirds (12/1), Duibheach Alainn (12/1), Lotus Hill (14/1), Tens Or Better (16/1), Helly Hansum (20/1), Ballyshannon Rose (25/1), Clear Left (33/1), Abidingbytherules (33/1), Final Witness (50/1), Caddy Shack (66/1), Markmyword (66/1), Mary's Girl (66/1)

The standard is set by Westport Lady but it is far from exacting and Willie Mullins' mare has twice been beaten favourite already. She is, of course, respected just the same. Point-to-point winner DAYLIGHT KATIE changed hands for a princely sum and has been earning praise from Gordon Elliott for her work at home. She should be up to this challenge. Final Witness and Helly Hansum are amongst those that may harbour place claims along with Caravation.
