Divine Lucy

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: L P Dempsey| T: M C Grassick

25/1

Arcadio filly makes her debut here for a trainer with only one hurdles runners in the previous 12 months, which was a winner. Worth a market check.

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: A W Short⁽³⁾| T: Miss K Brown

66/1

Maiden on the Flat and pulled up only previous try over timber in a Leopardstown maiden at Christmas. Poor since in basement-grade AW contest in England.

Form: 0

Elegant Lass^t1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: R P Treacy⁽³⁾| T: T Gibney

33/1

Dandy Man filly with modest record in ten starts on the Flat, mostly over sprint trip but more recently at up to 1m. Makes hurdles bow now.

Garrylawn⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Rachael Blackmore| T: R P Cody

25/1

Filly by Cloudings out of a Mountain High mare. Dam unraced half-sister to 2m7f/3m hurdle winner Princess Tiana out of useful bumper/2m4f hurdle winning half-sister to 2m7f - 3m1f chase winner Good Time Melody. Pulled up at Wexford on debut.

Form: P

Ivaldi^h1³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: C A Landers⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Carr

100/1

By Dutch Art out of a Galileo mare, ex-Charlie Hills inmate but showed nothing in three Flat outings (two for this handler) to warrant supporting on hurdles debut.

Form:

Kashika²⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: S A Mulcahy⁽⁷⁾| T: D Hogan

16/1

Rock of Gibraltar filly is a half-sister to 1m/1m1f winner Kashif. Didn't run badly here in 1m2f Flat maiden on debut in May, though unable to progress in two further runs. Tackles jumps on first start for able-trainer Denis Hogan.

Form:

Kilbeggan Glory¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: T Ryan⁽⁷⁾| T: M Hourigan

40/1

Fame And Glory filly, didn't create a strong impression this month on point-to-point debut at Ballycahane (pulled up having never travelled). Makes rules bow.

Form: P

Ocean Voyage¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: D N Russell| T: G Elliott| OR: 117

8/13

Second of 22 in Fairyhouse maiden (2m, yielding) last month was a big step in the right direction on fourth hurdles start, though took a backwards move since at Navan. Finds a weak-looking contest to try and bounce back.

Form: 0P825

Quinns Red Rose¹⁵⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: I T Queally⁽⁷⁾| T: M O'Callaghan

4/1

Won a 1m maiden on the Flat at Listowel in September on heavy ground, well held in one run since at Navan in October. Returns from a break to go jumping and worth a betting check.

Form:

Shadow Board¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: I J McCarthy| T: T F Shaw

100/1

Elusive Pimpernel filly out of a Kris mare. Tailed off a Navan (2m, yielding; 100-1) this month on hurdles bow, has plenty more to locate on that evidence.

Form: 80

Silvretta Schwarz¹³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Mullins| T: M C Grassick

6/1

Filly well held in four Flat starts, including a run in Listed company. Second runner for the yard in this field and worth paying attention to their places in the betting.

Form:

Thefaithfulindian³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Simon Torrens⁽⁷⁾| T: A A Howard

66/1

Frozen Power filly who looked slow on only start on Flat and little better in three starts so far over timber. Very hard to enthuse over.

Form: 000

Westernerona

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: Donagh Meyler| T: G J Power

18/1

Westerner filly, yard are 0-52 with hurdler over the previous 12 months. Can only be watched on debut, unless market is positive.

Forecasts

Ocean Voyage (8/13), Quinns Red Rose (4/1), Silvretta Schwarz (6/1), Kashika (16/1), Westernerona (18/1), Divine Lucy (25/1), Garrylawn (25/1), Elegant Lass (33/1), Kilbeggan Glory (40/1), Effernock Fizz (66/1), Thefaithfulindian (66/1), Shadow Board (100/1), Ivaldi (100/1)

OCEAN VOYAGE was disappointing at Navan last time but a reproduction of her previous Fairyhouse second should be more than enough to see her grab the opener for Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell. In a race where it is tough to recommend many, Listowel Flat winner Quinns Red Rose can be given a chance while any support for Divine Lucy or stablemate Westernerona would be notable.
