Impressive 11L winner of a 3m Listed novice hurdle at Cork (good-to-yielding) in November but held in two subsequent outings. One to note despite carrying a penalty in this contest.

14/1
Well beaten 12th of 14 in a 2m2f handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (good) early last month when returning from a break. Interesting runner stepping back up in distance.

5/1
Followed up a 2m4f handicap hurdle success at Navan (yielding) in January with a third in a valuable 2m2f event at Leopardstown (good) last time out. Step up in distance no issue.

Cool Saint31
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: H De Bromhead| OR:  124| C
12/1
Winner of 2m4f maiden hurdle at Limerick (soft) in December and looked a likely winner when falling subsequently. One to note despite a below par effort over 3m last time out.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: D J Mullins| T: W P Mullins
12/1
Off the mark over hurdles when taking a 2m4f event at Fairyhouse (good) in January. Given a break since and is worth a check in the market stepping up in grade.
6
Horse silk
Kilbarry Way120
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: R P Treacy| T: C O'Keeffe
66/1
Justified odds-on favouritism when taking a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Clonmel (good) in November. Absent since finishing well beaten at Punchestown (2m2f, good) later that month however.
7
Horse silk
Moskovite31
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: D G Hogan| T: D Hogan| OR:  127| C
9/2
Returned from a short break with a good third in a 3m Grade 3 novice hurdle at Clonmel (good-to-yielding) last month. Form has been franked since and she is a leading contender in this race.
8
Horse silk
Stucker Hill28
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: B J Cooper| T: W J Lanigan| OR:  110| D
50/1
Dual handicap winner over around this trip earlier in the season. Decent fourth over 2m4f at Navan (yielding) last time out but more needed in this company.
9
Horse silk
Well Set Up8
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Ricky Doyle| T: M Fahey
10/1
Heavy ground bumper winner last season and a respectable effort when fourth on hurdles debut at Gowran Park (2m, soft) recently. This looks a much tougher contest however.
10
Horse silk
Western Victory50
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-12| J: Sean Flanagan| T: C Bowe| OR:  131
7/2
Placed second, beaten 6L in a 2m2f Grade 3 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse (yielding) in January. Given a break since and interesting to see how she fares stepping up in distance.
11
Horse silk
Edene D'Arc8
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-11| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott
13/2
Broke her maiden at the fourth attempt over hurdles when winning a 2m event at Gowran Park (soft) last week. Represents a top yard stepping up in grade and distance.

Horse silk
Gipsy Lee Rose31
Age: 5|  Weight: 10-11| J: J J Slevin| T: J P O'Brien| BF
16/1
Good second in a maiden hurdle over an extended 2m3f at Clonmel (good-to-yielding) on hurdles debut last month. More needed on her first attempt at this distance.

Forecasts

Western Victory (7/2), Moskovite (9/2), Agusta Gold (5/1), Robin De Carlow (11/2), Edene D'Arc (13/2), Well Set Up (10/1), Ifyoucatchmenow (12/1), Cool Saint (12/1), Sapphire Lady (14/1), Gipsy Lee Rose (16/1), Stucker Hill (50/1), Kilbarry Way (66/1)

Verdict

MOSKOVITE looks capable of registering a victory in this Graded mares novice race. The form of her latest third has been well advertised at Cheltenham by the two who beat her this week and she can get the better of the penalised Robin De Carlow. Third place can go to Cool Saint who can put a disappointing effort last time out behind her.
  1. Moskovite
  2. Robin De Carlow
  3. Cool Saint
