Well-related sort, made winning start at Naas in November in a bumper. Runner-up to Champion Bumper winner Relegate before a ½L defeat at Fairyhouse in a couple of maiden hurdle spins since December. Enters calculations.
77-rated handicapper on the Flat and finished sixth of 14 beaten 23L on hurdling introduction in a Fairyhouse maiden last month. Repeat of that form should see her in the hunt for place money.
Cost €18,000 bred to stay at least 2m4f. Made little impression in mares point-to-point on debut before disappointing with an 80L defeat when weakening early on maiden hurdle debut at Punchestown last month. Hard to fancy but worth a market check.
Distance winner of a Hexham bumper on good ground on her final start for trainer Noel Kelly when last seen in May. Could be open to plenty of improvement on hurdling debut.
Daughter of Big Bad Bob out of a Be My Native mare. Not disgraced in a couple of career point-to-point starts in the spring of last year. Best watched on hurdling debut.
Handy 85-rated handicapper on the Flat for trainer James Fanshawe. Improving sort based on a couple of hurdle starts since the turn of the year and holds an entry in the Mares' novices' hurdle at the festival. Could be the one to beat.
Daughter of Shantou out of a Presenting mare. County Tipperary yard are two from 32 with their hurdlers this season and this mare is possibly best watched on belated debut.
Improved on a debut defeat of over 100L when finishing eighth of 11 beaten 22L in bumper over C&D when last seen in January. Has a bit to prove at present.
Will have disappointed connections in a series off desolate efforts on the level and over hurdles since December. First time cheekpieces unlikely to bring about the required amount of progression needed to land a blow here.
Daughter of Westerner out of an Oscar mare. Not disgraced on debut in a Tramore maiden hurdle on heavy ground in December when sixth of 15. Others look open to more improvement here.
Appears to be getting the hang of things following a number of disappointing runs since November when second of 22 beaten 5L at odds of 50/1 in a Fairyhouse maiden hurdle on her latest start in January. Likely to run well once again.
Generally well held in four starts over timber including a 23L reversal in a Fairyhouse novice hurdle last month finishing fourth of seven on good ground. Makes little appeal in this contest.
Galileo filly. Closely related to useful hurdler/chaser Teacher's Pet and handy chaser Whatareudoingtome. Needs to improve on dismal debut effort in a Punchestown maiden hurdle when beaten 66L last month.
Forecasts
Caravation (4/7), Great White Shark (4/1), Ocean Voyage (9/2), Stormy Tale (14/1), Chiavari (16/1), Dollys Destination (20/1), Deilginis (33/1), Western Line (66/1), Drunken Tattoo (66/1), Wink Wink (66/1), My Midnight (66/1), Sabichi (100/1), Ok Jk (100/1)
CARAVATION has caught the eye in a couple of maiden hurdle starts finishing runner up on each occasion including a ½L defeat behind Champion bumper winner Relegate at Naas in December. The six-year-old daughter of Presenting can get off the mark over hurdles here at the expense of the progressive sort, Ocean Voyage who finished 5L behind Cheltenham bound Chosen Mate last time out and the Willie Mullins-trained Great White Shark who will look to improve on here second of 18 at Thurles last month.
