6/1
Suited to any ground on the Flat and, as a six-time winner in that sphere rated 79, she may have been let in lightly here.

Claregate Street14
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-11| J: Richard Condon(7)| T: E Doyle| OR:  102
8/1
Produced her best effort over hurdles here last time and every chance that the quicker ground may help her find that bit more required to be competitive.

Reine Feep,t30
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-11| J: Donagh Meyler| T: S Crawley| OR:  101
7/4
Rarely runs two races alike and, having performed so well last time, it is hard to be confident she can defy a rise in the weights.

Princess Mahlert45
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: A McCurtin(3)| T: J J Walsh| OR:  98| D
7/1
Winner of a Limerick handicap hurdle on heavy ground last March off an 11lb lower mark. Still travelling well when falling two out at Limerick over Christmas and found to be coughing after a disappointing effort last time.

Horse silk
Aunty Audreyh21
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-6| J: J S McGarvey| T: P J Flynn| OR:  97
20/1
Rated well below the likes of Elm Grove and Claregate Street on the Flat and has not shown enough over hurdles so far to be weighted so closely with them.
6
Horse silk
Janeymac35
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-5| J: Danny Mullins| T: Ms M Mullins| OR:  96
10/1
Has produced very little to be positive about in any of her runs including handicap debut a month ago.

Be My Dream21
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-2| J: Liam Quinlan(7)| T: J R Finn| OR:  92
14/1
Promised better on her Limerick run over Christmas but she has failed to deliver. Tailed off sixth of seven last time.
9
Horse silk
Molly Kaye21
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-10| J: F J Hayes(7)| T: S M Duffy| OR:  86
20/1
One of a few who could improve now handicapping but her best efforts on the flat came on softer ground than expected here.

Dressednblack14
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-9| J: C A Landers(5)| T: T Doyle| OR:  85
25/1
Yet to make the frame in 18 starts under both codes. Has done nothing over hurdles and a Flat rating of 38 is an indicator that she is poorly weighted here.

Horse silk
Darling Days19
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-6| J: H P Cleary(7)| T: Michael G Cleary| OR:  83
33/1
Moderate Flat performer has failed to threaten in three maiden hurdles and will appreciate the chance to compete on more even terms.

Horse silk
Miss Mcilroyp63
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-4| J: J J Slevin| T: G T Lynch| OR:  80
14/1
Showed some ability at Thurles and Hexham towards the end of 2018 but her Limerick run over Christmas was dire. Absent since but capable of bouncing back under a rider who has helped her to some of her better performances.
13
Horse silk
Sweet Cassie14
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-13| J: Darragh O'Keeffe(7)| T: Leonard Flynn| OR:  89
9/1
Travelling well three out on handicap debut when hampered. Chance on that showing given the lack of quality in this contest.

Forecasts

Reine Fee (7/4), Elm Grove (6/1), Princess Mahler (7/1), Claregate Street (8/1), Sweet Cassie (9/1), Janeymac (10/1), Miss Mcilroy (14/1), Be My Dream (14/1), Aunty Audrey (20/1), Molly Kaye (20/1), Ali's Girl (20/1), Dressednblack (25/1), Darling Days (33/1)

Verdict

A dearth of worthwhile form lines leaves punters digging deep for clues and the market may provide significant intelligence. Miss Mcilroy has gone well off this mark previously and the jockey booking looks significant, whilst Sweet Cassie shaped better than her finishing position indicates last time. Princess Mahler was poor when last seen but can be excused as she was coughing and her prior runs give her a more obvious chance. CLAREGATE STREET and Elm Grove top the weights with good cause. Both feature on good marks comparative to their Flat ratings with the selection favoured on fitness grounds and likely improvement for the underfoot conditions.
  1. Claregate Street
  2. Elm Grove
  3. Miss Mcilroy
