Eileen O¹⁰⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr W J Gleeson⁽⁷⁾| T: W P Mullins| BF

5/1

Likely to improve on her debut at Listowel in September. Yard that have sent out 13 winners at this meeting in the last three years and overall boast a 49% win and place strike rate.

Form: 2

Gracious Gamble^h1²⁰¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr P A King⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss E Lalor

50/1

Well held in a couple of bumpers at Clonmel and first time hood unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: 50

Lanadelnay⁷⁰⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr R O Harding⁽³⁾| T: Leonard Flynn

66/1

Needs to improve on a disappointing debut at Fairyhouse when last seen almost two years ago, finishing last of 10 beaten 64L. Easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 0/

Lotus Hill⁴⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr J C Barry⁽⁵⁾| T: P Nolan

16/1

Promising fourth of 15 on bumper debut at Naas last month. Worth a market check with the yard boasting a 38% win and place strike rate at this meeting in the last three years.

Form: 4

She'samust^h²⁰¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Mr W T Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Walsh

Form: 68

Amber Blue

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: K Brogan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Elliott

20/1

Filly by Milan out of a Supreme Leader mare. Yard hold a good record at this meeting recently but this looks a tall order on debut.

Form:

Designer Destiny

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr D L Queally⁽³⁾| T: D Queally

12/1

Jeremy filly out of a Craigsteel mare. Market likely to reveal expectations on debut for a yard who are one from six with their bumpers this term.

Form:

Etincelle Lioterie²⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr T Hamilton⁽⁵⁾| T: J P O'Brien

7/1

Saddler Maker filly, fetched €50,000 as a four-year-old and makes stable debut here. Fair form in a couple of point-to-point starts and commands respect here.

Form: 32-

Hurricane Junior

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr R W Barron⁽⁷⁾| T: C Byrnes

5/1

€3,000 as a three-year-old and could be worth a market check with the yard boasting a 50% win and place strike rate at this meeting in the last three years.

Form:

Larquebuse²⁷⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr J J Codd| T: G Elliott

11/10

Point-to-point winner in March. Yard have had five winners at this meeting in the last three years and overall boast a 49% win and place strike rate.

Form: 1-

Miss Cedille²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr L J McGuinness⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss E Doyle| BF

12/1

Well beaten and never a factor in a couple of bumper efforts in the last two months. May have to settle for one of the minor honours.

Form: 24

Shanches^h1

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr J Hurley⁽⁷⁾| T: A Mullins

40/1

Filly by Shantou out of a Un Desperado mare. Market likely to be the best guide on debut with hood already fitted.

Form:

Sparkling Rose

Age: 4| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr A Smullen⁽⁷⁾| T: Michael F Croke

50/1

Vinnie Roe filly out of a Shahrastani mare. Appears to be up against it here on debut and others readily preferred.

Form:

Forecasts

Larquebuse (11/10), Eileen O (5/1), Hurricane Junior (5/1), Etincelle Lioterie (7/1), Designer Destiny (12/1), Miss Cedille (12/1), Lotus Hill (16/1), Amber Blue (20/1), She'samust (33/1), Shanches (40/1), Gracious Gamble (50/1), Sparkling Rose (50/1), Lanadelnay (66/1)

The trainer/jockey combination of Gordon Elliott/Jamie Codd are taken to outpoint the Willie Mullins-trained Eileen O with the Saddler Maker filly LARQUEBUSE in the closer on St Stephens Day. Etincelle Lioterie on debut for Joseph O'Brien and the Charles Byrnes-trained Hurricane Junior can battle to hit the frame.
