9/4

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: E M Roche⁽⁷⁾| T: S Fahey

100/1

15-race maiden on the Flat, the Born To Sea mare hasn't shown enough in her turf/AW efforts to warrant suggestion she'll be a first-time scorer over jumps.

Form:

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: K J Brouder⁽⁵⁾| T: C Byrnes

10/1

Placed just once from nine starts but stayed on into fourth last month over 2m3f at this track. Was still going well at Limerick of 2m5f since when falling at the last. Drop to 2m not a certain plus.

Form: 67084F

Robin Gold¹¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 10-11| J: Danny Mullins| T: J Fogarty

100/1

Gold Well mare has failed to complete in three point-to-points so far (fell on debut, twice pulled up since). Makes rules bow and perhaps best watched for now.

16/1

Forecasts

Annamix (4/6), Raya Time (9/4), Owenacurra Lass (10/1), Late Again (10/1), Touch Of Oscar (10/1), Castlebellingham (14/1), Take A Punt (16/1), Deilginis (33/1), Muyam Spirit (66/1), Miracle Way (66/1), Lilly Geal (66/1), Beat Of The Sea (100/1), Eversosaucy (100/1), Jeremy's Delight (100/1), Flying Vacation (100/1), Gloves On (100/1), Currabeha Hill (100/1), Robin Gold (100/1), Mighty Jeremy (100/1), Hansom Lady (100/1), Justcall'm John (100/1)

Annamix was turned over at odds-on at Limerick over Christmas on her debut for Willie Mullins. He was back from two years off and may be sharper now but that form doesn't look very strong and he may settle for second-best again with RAYA TIME preferred here. Henry De Bromhead's charge has run into some good animals in a three-race maiden hurdle career to date, including Ballymore winner City Limits and Martin Pipe second Dallas Des Pictons, and can open his account now. Owenacurra Lass showed better form in bumpers late last year while Castlebellingham has run well at this track already.
