Echoes Of Family⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D E Mullins| T: E P Harty

25/1

Echo of Light mare from an unraced dam, down the field in maiden hurdle here in November before a heavy defeat at Leopardstown over Christmas, finishing last of five. Best avoided on chasing debut.

Form: 85

High School Days²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| D

5/4

Steadily improving in initial starts over the larger obstacles and could be of interest on third start over fences for inform trainer/jockey combination.

Form: 4PF0-53

Ilsnepasserontpas^t1²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: J P O'Sullivan⁽⁷⁾| T: P J Rothwell

40/1

Struggling 85-rated hurdler was pulled-up when tailed off on chasing debut in a Tramore beginners contest last month. First time tongue-tie unlikely to bring about the required amount of improvement needed to play a role here.

Form: F76-78P

Meri Devie⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| D

5/2

Useful 147-rated handicap hurdler for trainer-Willie Mullins. Out of sorts on the Flat and over hurdles last summer, but worth a market check on stable debut.

Form: 51061-7

Mysloegin^t⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D J McInerney⁽³⁾| T: J R Finn| D

10/1

Soundly beaten off similar marks in three completed handicap hurdle starts and likely to be the same story here on chasing debut.

Form: F60345

Grey Waters⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| D

10/3

Game 120-rated hurdler whose career best came in a Grade 1 contest at Leopardstown in February. Well beaten and no impression on chasing debut at Limerick last month and needs to improve significantly.

Form: 1543-45

Forecasts

High School Days (5/4), Missy Tata (6/4), Meri Devie (5/2), Grey Waters (10/3), Mysloegin (10/1), Tell Me Annie (12/1), Echoes Of Family (25/1), Ilsnepasserontpas (40/1)

HIGH SCHOOL DAYS can get off the mark at the third time of asking over the larger obstacles for the inform combination of Henry De Bromhead and jockey, Rachael Blackmore. The six-year-old can take advantage of a recent run and hold off the attentions of the returning Missy Tata for owners, Simon Munir and Isaac Souede. The former Willie Mullins-trained, Meri Devie could be interesting on stable debut.
