Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: R M Power| T: Mrs J Harrington
20/1
Has looked over-whelmed in a number of recent performances in bumpers and maiden hurdles, including a couple of heavy defeats last month and a 26L deficit in January. Unlikely to play a part in the finish.

Dare To Seeh9
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: W J Martin
100/1
Sent off at 100/1 on maiden hurdle debut when pulling up at Cork earlier this month. Hard to fancy and plenty to prove.

Oscar Lightt8
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-7| J: C J Orr(5)| T: N C Kelly
100/1
Generally solid form in a number point-to-point starts, but has been disappointing in a couple of maiden hurdles recently. Hard to construct much of a case for the mare here.

Pleasant Hill330
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: D P Holden(7)| T: L Young
25/1
Daughter of Mountain High out of a Erins Isle mare. Markey likely to be the best guide here on debut under rules.
5

Sunrise Lady27
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: Ricky Doyle(5)| T: C O'Dwyer| OR:  108
5/1
Dropping in trip didn't suit in a Naas maiden hurdle last month, bumping in to Relegate in the process. Strong place claims stepping back up in distance.

Annie Odds45
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Phillip Enright| T: James King
66/1
Well held in a couple of bumpers when last seen in November. Will need to raise overall profile to play a part here.
7
Horse silk
Black Tears264
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott
6/5
Solid and consistent form in a number of bumper starts in the spring of last year. Missing since and expected to be well prepped for hurdling debut.
8
Horse silk
Elfile417
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins
11/4
Winner of two of her five starts in bumpers over shorter trips in France. Market likely to reveal expectations on hurdling debut for leading yard.
9
Horse silk
Golden Glen13
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: A McCurtin(3)| T: J J Walsh
100/1
Well beaten and no impression in a couple of maiden hurdle starts since November and may be of more interest when sent handicapping.
10
Horse silk
Rhythm Divine37
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Mr M J O'Hare(3)| T: J G Cosgrave
5/1
Close up behind leaders, slightly hampered three out when still in contention in a Navan maiden hurdle before dropping to third on the run in. Strong place claims in this company.

Forecasts

Black Tears (6/5), Elfile (11/4), Rhythm Divine (5/1), Sunrise Lady (5/1), Condarcia (20/1), Pleasant Hill (25/1), Annie Odds (66/1), Golden Glen (100/1), Dare To See (100/1), Oscar Light (100/1)

Verdict

Likely to be a lively betting heat between the two main protagonists with the Grade 3 bumper form of BLACK TEARS to be strong enough to see off the challenge of French import and Willie Mullins-trained, Elfile. Sunrise Lady for trainer, Conor O'Dwyer, Rhythm Divine a solid third of 21 last month at Navan and Pleasant Hill could contest for the minor honours.
  1. Black Tears
  2. Elfile
  3. Rhythm Divine
