All The Way West^h¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Phillip Enright| T: L J Archdeacon

20/1

Fairly solid form in a number of point-to-point starts since April. Well held in a couple of maiden hurdle starts at Tramore recently and others preferred.

Form: 233247

Annie Clouds²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Katie O'Farrell⁽⁵⁾| T: P Neville| OR: 92

33/1

Nothing of note in a number of dismal maiden hurdle efforts to date. Well below par form looks set to continue in this contest.

Form: 40P6

Darling Miss²²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: L P Dempsey| T: G Elliott

20/1

Scorpion gelding out of an Alphabatim mare. Modest form in a couple of point-to-point starts to date and unlikely to play a part in the finish in this contest.

Form: 33

Duty Girl²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: M J Bolger| T: D Howard

100/1

Well held in three bumper starts to date, finishing last of 14 at Limerick in November before a desolate effort on hurdling debut last month. Makes little appeal in this heat. .

Form: 0-000

Ifyoucatchmenow¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins

7/4

Will have disappointed connections in five bumper defeats to date, but switch to hurdles sparked improvement to finish second of 17 beaten 1L at Limerick last month. One to be interested in.

Form: 024-242

Laughing Trix³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: C D Maxwell| T: D A McLoughlin

20/1

Daughter of Court Cave out of a Presenting mare. Winner of a point-to-point start in December and market likely to reveal expectations on hurdling debut.

Form: 1

Lill Smith^t⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Sean Flanagan| T: N Meade| OR: 104

6/1

Maiden running off a mark of 104 and could be of interest based on her second of 14 beaten a little over 3L in a Limerick maiden hurdle in November and a couple of steady runs since.

Form: 544264

Peterstown¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: D J Mullins| T: T Gibney

100/1

Poor form in a couple of point-to-point starts last month before pulling up when tailed off on chasing debut at Limerick over Christmas. May need the run here.

Form: 3-7P

Finding Joy

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hourigan

100/1

Daughter of Yeats out of a Bahhare mare. Yard having a quiet time of it this term with only five winners. Any market move should be monitored.

Form:

Jeremys Dream²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott

8/1

Modest efforts posted in a bumper and a couple of previous runs over hurdles since August. Likely to improve on fourth of 11 at Down Royal last month and one for the shortlist.

Form: 764

Romella¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: A McCurtin⁽³⁾| T: J J Walsh

100/1

Milan filly out of a Definite Article mare. No impression and never a factor when finishing 51L adrift of the winner at Limerick over Christmas. Others preferred.

Form: 0

Roney^h,t¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: B J Cooper| T: P Nolan| OR: 107

11/2

Well bred mare shown significant promise already including placing on three occasions since October. Entitled to make the shortlist.

Form: 35323

Whatucallher³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: A E Lynch| T: E P Harty

10/3

Daughter of Robin Des Champs cost €24,000 as a three-year-old, promising in two starts over hurdles after summer break and one to be interested in.

Form: 5-2233

Forecasts

Ifyoucatchmenow (7/4), Whatucallher (10/3), Roney (11/2), Lill Smith (6/1), Jeremys Dream (8/1), All The Way West (20/1), Laughing Trix (20/1), Darling Miss (20/1), Annie Clouds (33/1), Finding Joy (100/1), Peterstown (100/1), Duty Girl (100/1), Romella (100/1)

With the Mullins yard under, somewhat, of a cloud currently it may pay to take a chance on the Paul Nolan-trained RONEY who has shown significant promise already including placing on three occasions since October. The five-year-old will face stiff opposition from Eddie Harty's, Whatucallher and the potential improver Jeremys Dream.
